As best as I can tell, the Chinese government's plan is to externalize the effects of all the debts that turn bad. At the end of the day, foreign investment in physical assets (factories, equipment, supply chains, etc) and infrastructure cannot simply be repossessed, especially under the auspices of a fiercely nationalistic and dictatorial Chinese government. If Chinese debt holders are no longer able to meet their obligations, the Chinese government will step in to secure the debts they hold and nationalize/seize whatever valuable assets are held by foreigners, effectively offloading all their financial problems on the rest of the world. What recourse will a company like Apple have against a sovereign nation no longer willing to play by WTO rules since they have grown strong enough to ignore all but the most sincere military threats?
They could be physically stolen but not operated.

The focus on minorities seems always a bit strange to me and a bad start to argue for more civil liberties. Everyone should be equal under the law and I talk about civil liberties that are enshrined in law.

That doesn't mean minorities are not at a disadvantage or that everyone being equal under the law describes reality, but the best way to help with that are universal human rights and their strict enforcement. Minorities are too often used as a shield to their disadvantage. Using minorities as an argument to restrict speech for example is a very common example and plainly wrong.

I think the rankings in the US are correct and not really in the top class, but I do believe that the US ends its paranoia trip at some point. Maybe wishful thinking.

Germany has some better rankings but really lacks in freedom when compared to the US.

The saddest part of that is that I heard that phrase not through overt advertising but from school.

I remember a handful of occasions in elementary school where they had someone come in and teach kids about nutrition, and the one lady told us that breakfast is the most important meal because we need to start off our day with "lots of energy". These lessons included the food pyramid, which is bad science to start with.

As kids, we were being fed corporate propaganda through government sanctioned education, and sadly I don't think the students or any of the adults at the time realized it.
I think it would be cool to run the same analysis on the number of R Notebooks on Github and compare the two.
Conspiracy idea: The Chinese government wants everyone to default on loans because then they'll get to claim ownership of all the assets. So everything will become state owned once again, communist dream?
How is formatting important though? Semantic formatting, sure, but again, a 20-year-old HTML file still has that preserved. The em-perfect formatting inherent in PDF seems entirely purposeless unless you for some reason need to be able to reproduce a printed copy of the document exactly. Formulas are a special case, but the great majority of documents I see distributed in PDF would be more useful as HTML, and I don't buy the argument that it would risk archivability. At the end of the day, HTML is a plain-text format which is quite human-readable even if all the world's HTML renderers were somehow lost to the ages.

The only use-case I can conceive for perfectly-reproducable layout if you are not a print publisher is in fields where it is convention to reference text by page+paragraph number; in those cases, the page number is actually semantic information so could quite trivially be encoded in the content of the document to maintain that referent.

> Search works fine in PDF.

Search works fine in PDFs that don't use hyphenation or which properly implement it, and when they don't it breaks silently in ways that are potentially disastrous.

> Mobile is not optimal, but platforms optimized for mobile require different design considerations.

And my point about mobile was you don't need to optimize for it.

>Few webpages look or function identically on mobile.

Again, it doesn't need to look identical. That is a falce requirement. There is no value in that. The only web pages that don't function on mobile are ones which have been optimized for desktop. We're not talking about general-purpose web pages here, we're talking about textual documents.

This is not some hypothetical scenario, BTW. The UK has been using HTML over PDF for public-facing documents for a couple years now, it seems to be working out for them[1].

What Have We Just Learned About the 2020 Volkswagen ID.3 All-Electric Hatchback?
I ran a CO2 monitor in my classroom and found it exceeded 2000ppm on some occasions. Typically it would be 1200-1600. I discussed this with architects when building a new facility, and the new facility tests at <900ppm fully occupied.

I think the high levels before led to worse behavior and lower academic performance. Both seem generally better now.
Is the hype about optimizing web performance worth it?
Would definitely be an interesting longitudinal study to put a sensor in a set of classrooms, some of them with a your light system to suggest opening a window, and some of them not being told about the sensor, which would just log data as a control. You could compare grades and long term success in people in those classes.

Even in the short term it would be interesting to see if it affects any education metrics.

are you sure it was taxpayer financed. As a former international student, the tuition for international students was 3x for locals at a big state university in the south. Besides football programs, most schools get their financing from international students.
There's also good evidence that people don't maintain that weight loss over time despite maintaining their lower calorie consumption. Because base metabolic rate is something that the body can adjust, just like if you had less money to pay for heat, you could just put less heat into the house.

The role of hormones (especially insulin) in regulating fat storage and whether stored fat is available to the body as energy is better understood now, and much has been documented about how high insulin combined with low calories over time results in a lowering of the metabolic rate (resulting in stalling weight loss and then weight gain) rather than sustainable weight loss.

Also "it's nice to believe you don't have to suffer to reach your goals" is a silly and moralistic thing to say. But it typifies the american "scientific understanding" of weight loss. Fat is immoral, suffering is virtue, therefore in order to lose your immoral fat you must suffer.

Just look at all the massive success of those in the IF and keto community in living joyful lives, not deprived, losing fat etc. etc. And then look at all the people for whom calorie counting has completely failed. The information is out there (shruggie)

I wouldn't necessarily call it irrational. While there are far less incidents in nuclear power, their severity and long term harm are much greater while being very hard to get back under control as we have seen in the past. I would assume many would prefer to have broken a bone a few times in their life instead of a single shot in the head. This fear is very much understandable in my opinion.

I do not mean to imply that there are less fatalities from other energy sources, especially since those harming the environment might cause the end of us all. It's much like the fear of flying, it is safer, but if something happens you cannot run nor stir to the side, you are completely of control and the outcome will be most certainly fatal.
Socialism is a material struggle, it isn't an idealist Utopia where everything is perfect. It's a process. And most socialist regimes have been in the developing world, which had much less to work with and much weaker infrastructure. Regardless, China has lifted nearly a billion people out of extreme poverty over the last 40 years. I also think that Cuba's accomplishments have been admirable, despite decades of aggression and embargo from the United States. You may compare these regimes unfavourably to a developed country, but that's an unfair comparison, because they weren't developed countries before socialists took over. Compare them to other, capitalist countries in the global south and I think there is no question what model works better
Wow that really is depressing.

Why doesn't Australia use the massive potential of Solar? They must have million square miles to spare which has year-round (very strong) sunlight?

Even at relatively low yields, it would be huge.

A therapist can be a useful tool. I spent a total of about 3.5 years of my life in therapy.

I also briefly was in couple's counseling and my husband was seeing a therapist as well during that time. He was extremely introverted and he truly hated discussing private matters with a therapist.

One day I told him "I don't care if you see a therapist. I just want our marriage to get better. Therapy is just a means to an end. That's it."

He happily quit therapy and couple's counseling promptly. He also promptly was a better husband to me and never fell down on the implied promise that he would rise to the occasion somehow.

I continued with therapy because I had a lot to sort out and I saw it as a useful tool.

In the long run, learning how to live well was the best therapy for me, so to speak. But I didn't personally know how to get there without first talking to someone about bad things that had happened to me and how they shaped me. My husband didn't want to go through that step and he was somehow able to just behave different towards me once I made it clear "I just want a better marriage. That's it. I don't actually care if you go to therapy."

Dr. Kellogg and his brother had a business creating various supposed health products and Corn Flakes was part of that.

There's your problem right there. The people at the top are costing almost as much as the people who actually provide the service.
Assange doesn't write news, and classified documents are not, themselves, the product of journalism merely for being leaked. Writing a story about the Pentagon papers is journalism, printing them verbatim without context or comment is not journalism.

If running a website which publishes third party content makes one a journalist then I guess Reddit makes spez a journalist too.
Maybe this is a tradeoff people need to consider when trying to reduce their wasted energy in buildings. Maybe try to do some kind of heat exchange in the air exchange?

From what I've read in some research, this actually might be slightly more optimal, in terms of timing metabolism and circadian rhythms, etc. However, socially, skipping breakfast is easier, because the alternative (in order to get 16+ hours of fasting in) is to skip dinner, which might be weird for family or friends. The tradeoff is probably minor.

FWIW, my reference to narcissism relates to the ideas of the true (deep) and false (superficial) self discussed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_self_and_false_self

There isn't a hard scientific consensus about the dynamics of narcissism. It's kind of at the intellectual stage of being a "code smell" that many very serious people have learned to detect from bitter personal experience.
Your description matches up with my experience. I think I am wasting fuel in cold weather. IIRC I haven't been in a situation where I drove over 2k rpm constantly.

In the Economy mode, the ECU decides to shift into 5th gear at about 31mph and then I let the car coast.

I would think 2k at 160kph is where this engine would be too if ever I drove at that speed. 99% of the times the max I have done is about 110kph where it is in 7th gear at under 2k rpm (having read about the engine and the owner's manual, that 7th gear is out of power band and is effectively overdrive, not possible to accelerate in 7th even gently)

I’ve noticed during meditation on external sounds that for any repetitive sound, my brain immediately starts reproducing the sound internally, and then stops paying attention to that external sound and starts scanning the background for other sounds. This is the case for anything from air conditioner whine to birdsong. The meditation then becomes to interrupt the cached reproduction and really listen to every sound, including repetitive ones, forcing my brain to expect surprising variations in the same sounds if I can listen really closely.

Evidence their business model isn’t working out. Their scooters (along with all the other companies) have all but disappeared from my area, where they once littered the sidewalk.

Once you fall once or twice on these scooters, it’s hard to ride them again. Especially when it’s the scooter that’s broken, as is often the case. It’s a shrinking market base, consequently. They (Uber-Jump, Lime) should have given incentive by offering some kind of coupons after an accident, instead of declining all responsibility and sending you the terms you signed or ghosting their customers.

Yeah, it's funny because I eat plenty of eggs and fat, which have constituents used by the body to produce hormones like testosterone. If anything, I'd expect the opposite effect but I haven't read any literature on the effects it can have on libido, so I'm not sure what's typical.
We use notebooks heavily for onboarding devs & data scientists to Graphistry, and I only see that increasing.

Interestingly, for initial use, we increasingly start teams on their existing internal NB servers, and for new ones, they either start on Jupyter included in their Graphistry AMI or use Google Colab. So, very little outside of our quick start notebook skeletons hits GitHub.

So... How many notebooks are actually out there? Probably an even more interesting growth curve...!

Or, a carb-heavy diet. When I fast while doing keto, it's almost not noticeable, and I'll often just forget to eat and suddenly realize I haven't eaten in a day or more. If I've cheated on carbs and try to jump back into fasting, I'm ready to commit murder after 10 hours.

Really interesting article... all the numbers are completely believable, but seem really high based on the conference room effects at 0.1% They even refer to a person without a helmet in still air as being at 2000ppm, which is comparable to the worst tested "school house" data.

I'd argue that if there is an effect here it isn't the O2 concentration since a 1% change in atmospheric pressure happens at about 275ft. That's a pretty small hill!

A 1000ppm change in 02 partial pressure happens in about 30C temperature change. Really, if this is a real effect it better be actually due to some effect of C02 concentration.
> prices could collapse 90% (they won't), and it would only affect speculators and people who bought their first home in the last 5 years

How do you arrive at that claim? ~78% of all household assets in urban China are held in residential housing ownership. A 90% housing price collapse would be beyond catastrophic to China's economy and household wealth across the board. In rural China, residential housing values represent ~65% of household wealth.

China's household assets being so extremely concentrated to housing is unique among major economies. In the US, the residential real-estate market represents closer to 35% of household assets (in the UK it's around 50%).

Financial assets are only 12% of urban Chinese household assets, compared to 43% in the US.

China can't afford anything to go wrong in their residential housing market, much less a 90% price decline.
