The methodology here is awful, and no one should draw broad conclusions from the results.

> They inserted a section into the questionnaire which asked students how well they understood a collection of 16 mathematical concepts. Some were familiar, such as “polygon” and “probability”, but three were fake: “proper number”, “subjunctive scaling” and “declarative fraction”.

Proper number and declarative fraction sound like real things. I speak English natively, and it would take me a while to decide whether those are simple childhood-level concepts or not.

For someone who is not expecting a fake option or who doesn't speak English natively, it's likely you'd be confused by the familiarity of the wording.

I personally can't think of a fraction-related concept that I don't understand, so I could see myself saying I understand declarative fractions with no intent to mislead someone.

Further, the subjects of the experiment are teenagers. That's one narrow band of ages, and it says little about the rest of the country.

This is a study designed to get attention and media coverage, not to actually reveal some useful truth.

Growth hacking is a silly buzzword, it's just marketing. And good marketing involves reacting quickly to position your product when the competitive landscape changes. Sales is the most important thing in the success of a company so this was definitely the right call to make, and I doubt it really affected their product any.
As an alternative, you could use the XPosed framework. It basically lets you overwrite App and System methods and classes by installing a small module. No need to modify your target apk.
So you can just return true from the method that checks if the correct certificate is in use.

> Using child porn as a pretext to justify a puritanical purge of all erotic content is absolutely obnoxious IMO.

And not what Tumblr did - their erotic content ban was under way before the CP snafu got them temporarily kicked out of the iOS App Store. Consensus is that it saves them from SESTA-FOSTA legal troubles.
they are flat out admitting to an on-going information (fake news?) war? And that while they could always fight with russia they have no clue how to impact china?
Why should promiscuity mean that they should have to privately fund their treatment? (Not that promiscuity is the only way you can get HIV, but that's not the question I'm asking.)

People have differing ideas about what acceptable and unacceptable behavior is. If we required that taxes only be collected for the set of behaviors everyone agreed on, we'd have no taxes, and no government.

Even if we agreed that promiscuous people should not receive public medical treatment (which is not a position I hold), would you suggest condemning people who contracted this through no act of their own as well?

Parents can give it to their children, and there are nonsexual ways you can end up with bodily fluid transmission.

Eating raw eggs is a common thing in india, for the protein(although this is incorrect as cooking eggs leads to more protein absorption). However if i were homeless, why wouldn't i just crack open an egg and eat it? There is almost zero risk of salmonella

Not necessarily if the reason was (as people think) to avoid SESTA-FOSTA legal problems. Pornhub would still need to work around those restrictions and it might simply not be economical.

There is a right to free movement in the country because it would be impractical to check movements of people at this level of granularity.

With this development of technology, it becomes possible to even check who is crossing your neighborhood, and you may lose your freedom inside your own country, if a government decided to go in that direction
Libertarians (the right wing kind, at least) pretty commonly get made fun of/characterized as pedophiles among other things so they probably did mean libertarian lol
When you have 6-20 hens the issue is a bit different from several hundreds. The nesting box tends to be pretty clean and you put in fresh hay to encourage them to lay the eggs there rather than some hidden part of the yard (a constant risk, and spoiled eggs smells similar to that of a decomposing animal except it seems to continues forever).

They don't tend to poop when laying eggs and usually leave the nest imminently when done, being quite loud and signaling to the rest of the troop. Collecting a newly laid egg becomes a bit of routine, and I get a feeling so is the laying of an egg by the hens.

Working with animals you also do get a bit more used to chicken poop and just deal with it if an egg here and there is not perfectly clean. I tend to wash those before using them in cooking. It is pretty fair trade for getting: "free" eggs, insect management in the garden, weed removal, and naturally enjoyment of having social animals.
This is genuinely incredible to me - with all the problems the US (among others) has with using broad-spectrum treatments to improve animal growth, we can't be bothered to vaccinate them?
That is what superconductivity is defined as, perhaps, but I'm saying, no such material is, nor can any construct be built to insulate a subset of the universe from the rest of the universe. So even if you magically made a material that in itself causes no friction, the electrons still have the rest of the universe to deal with. For example, how would electrons go around corners without having a force applied on it? How do you prevent magnetic interactions of electron in motion with things beyond the material from causing friction?

well, talking would not even be cathartic, but if you want to look into the annoying things:

everything is labeled severity 1. I've had three dozen of them in the last two months.

only 2 of them were actually severity 1 when seen from my point of view, most of the other had impact on part of the infra I don't use or datacenter we don't have res, so filtering relevant messages would be a good start.

(that's not to say the other sev 1 were mislabeled, but we keep our cloud services integration to a minimum precisely to avoid these interruption from failing dependencies.)

but what is really annoying is that when one actual sev 1 that requires machine reboots happens (we had 3 in two years, so not even that bad), there's no way to manually anticipate the reboot ourselves to perform a staggered reload.

New Stalin style dictatorships are unlikely to arise in developed countries. A gradual descend into modern-Russia style governance is much more likely.

We have learned a lot about building stable power structures in the last 50 years. You don't need to have a death grip on everything in the country. A much softer touch is the technique of choice of modern oppressive regimes.

Why disallow other parties when you can just make sure the right party always wins?

Then it's improved dramatically since I was told the figure I was told, which was admittedly a few years ago by the deputy minister for health.

It seems hard to get a fixed number. Doing math off the Uganda MOH budget puts it at about $4.

But it should also be noted that even the optimistic figure likely also includes things like hospital construction, money to pay healthcare workers, labs (and lab reagents), etc. that isn't what people normally think of.

I'd really like my number to be wrong though. Because even $15 per person is...dire.
did you even try the bolt? It would have been 10k less than yours, and based on the review not that far away in term of comfort//performance etc.

Yes. So many scientists, so many biases, much still to discover/understand. I wonder if we will be able to find some solid info on what's going on. I like Jeff Hawkins discussion surrounding this idea, or David Chalmers idea of the hard problem. We have tons of info/facts about what's happening in the brain physiologically, locations of things, neutral pathways, etc. We don't have a grasp on consciousness though. But, Chalmers, Hawkins, Dennet, ...... All have strong beliefs. It's a curious fundamental mystery, and so wonderful.
I'm a big believer in electric vehicles, and it really frustrates me that the Bolt is unknown to the general public.

This car is a gem. Cheaper than a Tesla M3, and available before.

It shows once more that car buying is more about to be in a cult//group than really about the car itself. 90% of the attraction of the Model3 is that people will think you are somehow hype.

I'd be extremely careful with attaching monetary values to every behavior you want to encourage, since that can squash intrinsic motivation through the overjustification effect.

Unfortunately Azure AKS is quite hacky and shouldn’t be used in production (heard that from MS people). They will be releasing a more production like K8s distro in near future but it will have different caveats. On the other hand if you look at Google GKE - it has been production ready for multiple years with auto upgrades, self healing and just great ui/cli :) so yeah, if they use K8s then GKE makes total sense.
The egg yolk is high sulfur. The egg white is high protein.

Fusion research has always been handicapped by restricting funding to processes that yield only hot neutrons. The reason is simple: fusion research is really a jobs program for high-neutron-flux physicists, to provide a pool to draw upon for weapons programs. There was, and is, no expectation ever to generate power with it. Indeed, any such reactor would destroy itself, in short order, with its own neutron flux.

The hydrogen-boron approach mentioned doesn't produce appreciable neutron flux, so has never had anything like the funding. Besides positive ions, it would produce lots of hard x-rays. Both can be made to yield electric power directly, without a detour through heat. It might even work.

The objection that (as it's called) pB fusion requires insanely high temperatures is a shuck any physicist sees through. What it takes to fuse nuclei is not heat at all, but collision speed. The LHC routinely produces beams with "temperatures" that, by the same criteria, exceed 10 million billion degrees. Bulk heat is just the crudest way to get fast particles.

The remaining difficulties are to get enough particles in one place colliding to produce enough collisions to be worth the bother, and to keep them from leaking so much energy before colliding that not enough is left to make them fuse. Things going very, very fast are hard to keep in one place without slowing them down.

The pB people have very hard problems to solve, but their project is not doomed from the get-go by depending on producing neutrons that would destroy their very expensive gadget.

The eggs we get from our parents' hens we wash before we cook with them and keep them refrigerated along with chicken poo in cardboard egg boxes. Eggs from the store are already washed but we haven't fond any was good as the ones that we get from our parents' hens.
I'm definitely not an expert, but just because you need force to go around corners doesn't mean you need work. An unchanging magnetic field in fact exactly accomplishes this, as it always accelerates an electron perpendicular to its motion, thereby leaving the energy of the electron unchanged.
You're forgetting the two most important; energy storage and transport.
I'd like to point out that Verizon didn't buy Yahoo to get Tumblr. In all likelihood they never had any plans for it to begin with. I'm honestly surprised they didn't just shut it down.
The theory goes - and it may be part urban myth - is that you should not refrigerate eggs if the shops in your country don't. There'll have been no refrigeration at any point in the supply chain. Frost free fridges are extremely dry and will shorten the fresh lifespan of the eggs as the shell isn't perfectly air tight, and supposedly - this may be the part that's urban myth - can also damage the natural protective coating.

Certainly we've never had problems with eggs staying fresh in the cupboard for months, and would never put them in the fridge. Course it's not common to get that old, but we often go past the 2 weeks best before date. First thing to do with a new fridge is throw away the pointless egg tray. :)

At the airports in Australia at least the machines weigh the bags and everything so I don't see why that means you still need a human to do it again for you.
Huh. Now here's news I can use!
Sunlight has repeatedly shown to be counterproductive. Some people use any kind of platform they can get, any sort of media attention, to spread their views. They don't care that they get ridiculed, because their followers just see that as further proof of media conspiracies and bias. It just confirms and reinforces their prejudices.

Deplatforming works. Free speech does not mean you have a right to use any platform you choose, nor does it shield you from the consequences of your speech.

The deeper and darker the corners where they hide and the harder it is to stumble across by accident, the harder it is for them to spread their viewpoints.

See Voat and Gab for relevant examples. Only the really hardcore believers went there when Reddit and Twitter said "that's it, get off our platforms".

Classic comic from years ago
Here in the UK we don't wash our eggs as part of the production process. We have a "British Lion" safety mark on British-produced eggs as part of our food standards. Recently they were declared safe to eat raw even if you're pregnant as there were no cases of salmonella linked to them in 2016.
We also are in the US and don't refrigerate. Because, we get a lot of our eggs from our neighbors, who have a dozen hens. Interestingly, my wife is from a farming background and never refrigerates the eggs, and I am from a city background (Canada, actually) and habitually refrigerate my eggs like I was taught to do as a child.
Nobody told me your grandma's advice, I had to learn that the hard way. In a week I spoiled two omelets and wasted 8 eggs because the last one I cracked into the pan was rotten—twice! Now I always crack each egg into a small bowl before mixing them
