> there are times where your spidey senses will wake up though, which is also super surprising because it's not like fear or stress. It's N times more acute senses and focus. Almost a pleasure.. especially considering how dull a modern daily life can make you feel.

After about 3 weeks into a multi thousand mile hike, senses that I didn't even realize I had started to wake up. I could sense animals in the woods around me. I couldn't say if this was sound, smell, or something else, but I just knew they were there. Sometimes I woke up in the middle of the night, immediately knowing that something was going after my food. I also began to sense water sources from very long distances. This was probably a combination of smell and recognizing terrain patterns. Weather was another big one. I gained an intuitive sense for the storm patterns in the mountains, and I could see them changing with the terrain as I moved.

It took half a decade for the positive side effects of that hike to wear off.

It was a game changer for me. I would have completely missed the driveway if not for it telling me to look past the Vitamin Shop. Would have taken me five minutes to circle back around again. That seems like a big deal to me.

Yes, it is available, but the high levels of taxation - not just income tax but, also, a 20% tax on purchases - means that most families simply cannot afford that.

My argument is that people are _already_ paying but in a mandatory, indirect way, that removes their power as consumers and creates a situation in which the health services' prerogatives often differ from those of the patients.
The Messy Truth About Social Credit
Well, the job prospects are "terrible" if you're committing yourself to stay in physics and be a physicist in both title and profession.

The thing is, most people that get advanced degrees in physics don't stick around in the field and don't follow the traditional path. The article is correct to point out that physics departments would do better if they accept that reality and accommodate for it explicitly. Some schools already do that with the "engineering physics" degree.

Physics is a great preparation for general purpose problem-solving, IMHO.

In my own case, I do wish that I had a smoother transition out of physics, however. Spent a lot of time in my career not knowing where I fit in. Not that it's a totally bad thing, finding "a job" was never a problem, but self-actualization is harder when you're dealing with not knowing where you belong.

Ugh. In it's core Maps.me might be a good app. But it's sooo full of tracking stuff [1].
And I'm not even sure exodus catches all of them :-/.

There's a fork on F-Droid just called Maps, which removes all those trackers and works really well. [2]
Unfortunately there's currently an issue with downloading the maps data, which makes the app currently unusable without manual workarounds. [3]

The other option would be OSMAnd[4], which is a great app but maybe not quite as user-friendly as maps.me/maps when initally getting started with it.

Looks weird for me on Mac desktop Chrome. It looks like the default monospace font, Courier, lacks box drawing characters. So it probably falls back to some other monospace font which likely has different metrics.

A good CSS font stack for monospace fonts is something like:

font-family: Consolas, Monaco, monospace;

The first catches almost all Windows users, the second almost all Mac users, and the last fallback to the default.
Ryan checks out the singlespot map and notices a large group of single ladies checked into a place.

Start with a small plot and grow some peas or beans. They are easy to plant and grow, and usually produce a ton of food.

I LOVE "Food Grown Right, In Your Backyard: A Beginner's Guide to Growing Crops at Home". It's approachable, it talks about growing vegetables primarily, but it also talks about how to set up a bed, how to fertilize, etc. It's aimed at beginners and it is full of pictures.

The important part is that you can basically experiment with a small plot one year, and see what you like. I built one raised bed. Then the year later, I added two more. Now I have 6 raised beds plus a whole bunch of beds on the ground. I started with carrots and peas. Now I grow basically all the fruits and veggies. :D

After I got comfortable with my veggies, I started looking into French potager gardens and companion planting flowers in my vegetables. I pawed through a bunch of books and didn't find one I loved, but found a lot of blogs and things to search through.
I think it was too simple and non-customizable for Linux user's taste, but it was that same simplicity that made it a perfect OS for a public computer or for parents who only use simple apps.
It doesn't sound like your implication is that OKCupid doesn't know what the market wants. I think we can assume that OKCupid is following the market in doing what you describe. In other words, giving online daters what they want... or at least attracting the kinds of online daters that earn them money.

Perhaps the kinds of online daters that aren't superficial attention-seekers don't end up earning very much money for the companies.
Hi there! Pilot CEO here. We do accrual bookkeeping by default but we can do cash-basis bookkeeping too, if you require it.

By and large our requirements are around the use of electronic systems to capture data (so, if you have a stack of paper invoices today and you're opposed to using a system like bill.com or similar, it's not going to be a great fit.)
> the reality is that their data set is still pretty poor in comparison to Google Maps.

That entirely depends on where you are. In the US, there are lots of places where OSM is fully equal to Google Maps. There are other places where it's just downright bad.

If you're in one of the places where OSM maps are good, then they're the way to go. If you're not, and you're not willing to contribute the data required to improve them, then you probably want a different solution.

Oddly, I have never felt the allure of gardens, I don't have any plants myself, and if I'd have to choose between a city environment and nature, I'd in most cases choose the city (and not because of its parks). Both when I am happy and when I am sad.

Don’t Buy a 5G Smart Phone for a While
I'm constantly having to remind my wife that she's a good mother. She keeps seeing all the posts on Facebook from her groups about how some woman made dinner, built a diorama and made enough to buy a new purse from her side business all in one day! And she thinks she's a slacker because "all" she can do is feed the kids and read them a story. I have to keep telling her that she's only seeing the highlight reel of those other mom's lives, and to stop trying to compare to them.
Is that why? I thought I was buying iphones for the high quality, end-to-end user experience design, ecosystem integration, strict standards for third party apps, long-lasting hardware, and high resale value. Now I feel so silly.
> There aren't a lot of good alternatives to Maps though.

For much of the world, OpenStreetMap data is considerably more complete than Google Maps. It is true that there is no website based on OSM that is as convenient as maps.google.com, but more and more people are using maps on mobile, where they are relying on apps and not a website, and OSM-based solutions like Maps.Me are good substitutes for Google’s ecosystem.
In my opinion, Facebook no doubt violated the FTC agreement and pretty much every other promise they ever made. However, that's a different matter. I do not argue against them being punished for that, but this situation appears to be a different kind of case. A violation of the law to be precise, and should be publicly prosecuted accordingly.
Is it a surprise to anyone that all the major advertising companies are more than willing to meet the demands of nations that do not deem child labor as a negative? Not at all. Its why these companies need to be regulated. Sadly, regulation tech is taboo because that means VC s wont be able to make money as easily.
I have an MS in physics and I disagree with this. If you want opened doors, go for software engineering. You have so many things you can do with software, seriously.

I have finished my master's in November, and I have been looking for a job. I have not been very lucky so far. I am looking for data-science related stuff. If you have any suggestions, please, I am all ears. (I am in Europe)

Couldn’t Ryan do that to any woman in a bar today without the app?

Surely Ryan could do this at any bar without the aid of an app?
This article isn’t a criticism of the CEO of Panera, per se, it is a criticism of conscious capitalism and libertarian ideology trying to solve collective problems with individual actions, that the marketplace is the proper place to express our morality.
I've had a theory for some time now based on my own observations:

A big part of why nature is so calming is the absence of repeating patterns. In our artificial life everything follows standardized forms and patterns. It's a sterile world.
The most obvious example being rectangles and perfect 90 degree angles everywhere. But I would also count things like uniform colors, evenly spread (artificial) light, predictable sounds etc.

That makes me think that somehow something like this absence of patterns - and the knowledge/assumption for our brain that they are not to be expected in nature - helps us.

The beauty in this is that nature _is_ full of patterns. But on a different level, no two patterns are ever the same. When you look at a green tree you simply won't assume to find two leaves with the same color and shape. That's the difference.

Some years ago I got myself an empty canvas frame and put natural linen fabric (https://www.fabric.com/buy/ff-357/kaufman-antwerp-linen-natu...) on it. No painting, just the linen. For the same reason: It's calming to look at

Or maybe I'm just weird :)

He’s an outlier. The overwhelming majority of college football players will make no money from it.
Hmm. I run Xfce, and have all important key bindings explicitly written in one of its config files. For last about 10 years I just carried these files between machines, upgrades, and different distributions, and had all my binding, and most other desktop settings, intact.

Is something similar possible with Gnome? That is, once you explicitly configured something, even if your setting is the same as the current default value, would it be preserved?

Acceptable to whom? The results of a stand-and-fight decision would probably not be acceptable to them.
> Do we want to deny people that chance to get out of poverty even though they have to knowingly risk their life? I honestly don't know because I didn't grow up poor.

I think this is unfortunately a specious question. It assumes that we can't give people other ways to get out of poverty, and hides that we the fans don't really give a shit about players getting out of poverty at all - we like the primal, violent aspects of the game. We don't just put up with them, they're what we've been optimizing for for decades. Even before we knew about the mental impacts we knew about the physical ones.
Also flex cables are generally have .. i don't know what they are called 'slide sockets' on both ends, and cost pennies. Therefore designed to be repaired. Not much you can do when you flex your screen in half except replace one of the most expensive parts of your phone.
For example, maybe they could adopt something like ultimate frisbee rules? A receiver is marked down at the spot where a catch is made. Eliminate running backs and tackling from the game entirely.

Defenders can try to jockey for position to intercept the ball or deflect passes (but still can result in pass interference), or they can rush the quarterback from the line of scrimmage, where pass blocking operates mostly unchanged from how it is today.

Perhaps tackling the quarterback (with continued improvements on protecting a defenseless QB) is the only place where tackling is still allowed.

This would get rid of about 99% of the situations where there are violent, high-speed collisions, and where tacklers coming from the linebacker or safety positions end up involving the head in violent tackles.

The obvious downside is that it eliminates rushing or yards-after-catch from receivers, especially long, wide-open touchdown sprints.

But I don’t see how open field running and tackling can possibly coexist with concussion safety in the future of the sport.

There will be some type of huge reckoning I think.

Do you think they could avoid these concerns by avoiding an ad model? E.g. what if they had a version of EB5 maps for investors (https://eb5affiliatenetwork.com/eb-5-tea-map/) or integrated route planning to optimize ambulance trips (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2982752/)?

Sadly, I am not one of those people. Street names,combined with "turn in x feet", works much better for me than using landmarks.

> Ryan notices one of the single women that checked in and proceeds to watch her all night as she gets dangerously intoxicated.

This part is not enabled or disabled by a dating app. Ryan can do the same thing by hanging around bars and following their patrons around. I do think, though, that the problem is that some men seem to develop unhealthy obsessions with pictures of women they haven't yet met, and that stalkers will definitely spring from this app if it gains traction.
Right now the main disadvantage is that GNOME Shell is single-threaded, and handles not only those JS extensions, but also essential tasks like window compositing. This means that a misbehaving extension can freeze the whole desktop, which is especially bad on Wayland where that includes the mouse cursor and input processing.

I still prefer GNOME for the rest of its UX, but if you ask me, the next rewrite can't happen too soon.

Edit: I noticed that some of the new improvements seem to be addressing just this, so what I'm saying may be out of date in regards to the latest version.
Broadly applied definition, weakly defined.
I don't quite understand the problem they are trying to solve. Is there so many change sets that they couldn't provision enough ci servers, hence the "speculation graph with probabilistic model"?
In high school, our second year engineering classes required us to build a skittle sorter out of lego and some sensors/software.

The only requirement was a hopper for the teacher to dump the skittles into at the beginning. She would have a different amount for each group that was pre-counted and our numbers had to match hers at the end within a certain % of error.

It was a month+ long project and really fun to see each team's solution in how they moved/sorted/stored the final product. Some teams used long conveyor belts, others used short stacked belts, etc. It was all really interesting and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
There is science to suggest that negative talk can influence your mental health in deleterious ways. Words do create a reality to some extent, great or small.

There is no science (at least none that I know of) that indicates that someone telling you this fact helps you get out of this mode of being.

Therein lies the rub.
Can you provide a couple of examples of this? In particular, I don't recognize who you're referring to in this section:

> [M]ainstream conservatives literally voted a white supremacist into government. They almost voted a pedophile into government.

--

> Sure there are jerks on the Democratic side but we tend to remove them from authority until they've shown appropriate contrition for an extended period of time.

Is it possible that you're seeing this through you own political biases? I freely admit that I generally see the issues with left-wing figures more easily than those on the right, so please don't think I'm being "whataboutist", because that's not my intention at all.

When I read the above, the first reactive thought I had was "What about Ralph Northam? He is in his college yearbook either in blackface or a Klan robe. What about Justin Fairfax? He's been accused of multiple sexual assaults. Both of them are still in their elected positions"

Of course, this isn't to say the GOP doesn't have its own members with serious problems - instead, my point is that it isn't any easier to conflate conservatives with far right extremists than it is to conflate progressives with far left extremists. From where I stand, it seems to be completely a matter of what biases the viewer holds.
I don't even think a SWE Master's is worth it at all anymore. Get real experience and be able to impress in an interview and you will go way further.

As far as Data Science goes, for the most part I see the DS folks coming from other internal roles in an organization, not hired from outside. So first get hired doing something where you come to understand the data, then segue into the role you desire. Things may be changing for what I just said, however.

Facebook Updates March Disclosure, Says Millions of Instagram Users Are Impacted
Does anybody have experience going from a CS/engineering undergrad to a physics MSc? I graduated last year with a CE/EE degree (so, some relevant background in mathematics and electromagnetism, not much quantum). I'm looking at programs which would let me leverage CS/software skills to make up for my lack of physics education, and of course I'm reading textbooks in my free time to try to catch up a bit. I don't have any expectation that this would be helpful to my career.
