Seriously though, I have done a bunch of “wikipedia research” on how flight evolved. It’s all a bunch of “just so” stories and theories, which struggle to prove any evolutionary advantage to intermediate forms that can’t achieve flight or even gliding.

I think the evolution of flight is one of the clearest examples that the standard theories of evolution purely by mutation and natural selection are still lacking explanatory power. I understand that the theory of Common Descent has ample evidence but let’s not conflate that with the other theories (about HOW genetic drift happens in macroevolution) and turn “evolution” into a religion in our quest to replace creationist accounts. It is a catch-all umbrella term to describe many theories, from “punctuated equilibria” to the “modern synthesis”, which still are in their infancy as the luminiferous aether or phlogiston as physical theories.

I find there is too much suppression of dissenting views in evolutionary and climate science, for my taste. I am talking about universities and publishers taking concerted political action against what is perceived as going against the current establishment.

A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it. - Max Planck

In many circles, publishing anything critical on scientific grounds is like publicly criticizing capitalism in USA or Islam in Saudi Arabia. A lot of time you get instant downvotes and hostile responses from laypeople.

If you’re curious what I’m talking about, here is probably one of the better treatments of the mathematics behind current theories, for example:

Sentiment analysis would be possible to run on either or both of articles and individual comments - I've done it before on a forum that had far less activity than HN does and gotten at least some usable data. You could then track individual features (e.g. "Julian Assange", "Uber" or "free speech") over time, I'd assume that both how frequently it appears in comments and how the sentiment towards it changes over time are both interesting if you were thinking of some sort of metrics.

Forums are also quite good sources for intent and emotional analysis along with just sentiment, you could probably get to see what topics are (5, Flamebait) in the old Slashdot sense :)

If a business is highly profitable but the investors don't see it that way, then it may make sense for him to take the company private again.

This happened with Dell about 6 years ago. Michael Dell believed Dell was worth much more, but the market disagreed. He was able to buy back all the shares and take it private again.

Aware there is censorship at all? From conversations with Chinese citizens living abroad whom I work with, they say the knowledge censorship is occurring is common, but as to understanding what types of information is being censored they only know in general terms.

Anecdotally, in China, the younger generations can’t get answers from the older generations who lived through these times because it’s verboten to speak of them. It leads to an (academically interesting) censorship feedback loop.

From my perspective it’s hard to know what you don’t know if the Powers-That-Be want to keep it a secret.

For example, here in the U.S. I assume we’re reasonably censorship-free, but by no means am I confident we have access to everything (excluding governmental information requiring clearances).

I do recognize our various media outlets play a major role in determining what the narrative is and which stories/reports/messages are raised to the level of societal recognition. I know people who consider this to be an indirect form of censorship.

Aren't a lot of products you see on infomercials exactly that?

I've seen people argue that it's a market failure or an inefficiency of capitalism that people are trying to market products for elderly and disabled people to younger people and families. From this it seems more likely the opposite. They are designed for the elderly or disabled but are falsely marketed to everyone in order to get their real target audience to buy it.
Had a quick skim; it seems at a glance like someone from TorGuard badmouthed NordVPN on a youtube comment (sigh), so NordVPN apparently in response threatened to disclose "trade secret information obtained by NordVPN regarding TorGuard’s systems" it obtained via a hosting provider TorGuard used which is owned by the NordVPN people. This apparently involved some pretty sketchy stuff like sending people to the house of a TG employee to intimidate them.

Whoops.

What kind of 'trade secret information' could a vpn provider be blackmailed with though? What kind of information could you gleam as the owner of a 'service provider' for such a use? I'm suffering from an apparent lack of imagination here.

Either way, this looks pretty messy and as a NordVPN user, I'm surprised how amateurish this all seems.

You’re right, but this is a bit irritating. Whenever I’m in need of a calculator on someone’s Mac I just start python in a terminal and type in expressions to be evaluated. It was nice to be able to find it on any Mac and so much nicer than clicking on a calculator’s GUI buttons.

I can use the bc command instead (it’s an old Unix command) but it’s far less handy. See it’s man page.

There’s also dc, the even less used reverse Polish notation calculator. It is a standard Unix command that predates bc.

The dc “language” is older than the C, Awk, Perl, or any other programming language still found on Unix systems. It is written in C’s predecessor, the language B.

You can tell that bc and dc are early Unix commands from their names, just two characters long.
Author of the paper here. Imagine it like this, if your bloom filter overlaps by a lot an incoming bloom filter, what you can do is go over your logs, find the bloom filter closest by increments to the incoming bloom filter, and then compare them. If the events are not comparable, i.e. concurrent, you will know it immediately. If they are comparable, your false positive rate now will be extremely low (because you picked the bloom filter in your logs that is closest to the one you received).

This is the biggest concern for me and by extension I assume many others who live in the South of the United States. It's May and temperatures are not yet topping 40C but they're 32+ at the high and projected to stay that way for months. Even with Tesla's heat management and water cooling for their batteries this potentially means slowed charging rates at superchargers and less range because you have to constantly cool the interior.

If you can't afford transportation you're limited to what you can walk to. In the area I live you cannot bring more than one bag with you on public transportation and it takes almost an hour to get across town on the bus. It would be cheaper to buy marked up food from a gas station or drugstore than pay for a taxi ride or waste half a day riding the bus.

Edit: essentially, a lot of the time it is expensive to be poor.
Because drugstores tend to be a replacement for grocery stores in food deserts.
Anecdotally, the areas in the USA that most lack proper grocery stores tend to be low-income urban neighborhoods.
I think because if someone does their grocery shopping at a drug store, then they probably live in a food desert which are typically in lower income areas.
NordVPN is by far the shittiest VPN service I have ever used. They billed me twice, two months in a row, and getting them to fix it was like pulling teeth. This is not to mention the hard time I had actually using the service, between random inability to connect and outages.

They have ISP-level arrogance, without the lock-in. I have no idea how they're still in business.

So I'd be very inclined towards believing this story.
This would be the correct choice in a simplified scenario without considering the competition, but car makers know how it'd work out: Tesla would sell even more cars and they'd sell none. Why are they doing what they're doing? Possibly because they want to slow down Tesla's growth and virtue-signal a little without losing too much money. I'm not sure it's working very well for Jaguar and Audi at the moment.
Just a friendly reminder to the world that NordVPN is also the one that lies about being based in Panama :).
If Tesla were serious about advancing sustainable transport, they wouldn't sell credits to polluters. By enabling others to pollute that much more, it undoes much of the benefit from buying a Tesla.

Where real estate is expensive the only grocery stores that can stay afloat are fat margin chains that cater to upscale customers. The poor people are then forced to shop at CVS or wherever, sure it's more expensive than Walmart or a proper grocery store but it's still cheaper than whole paycheck.

WF (or Trader Joes for that matter) simply doesn't sell value priced versions of a lot of items. CVS will sell it at a ripoff. It probably comes out close to a wash put poor people are poor, not stupid. If the numbers worked out in favor of WF they would be shopping there. Also, nobody(TM) does their entire shopping at CVS. People will drag their asses elsewhere on a regular basis to buy certain items that are cheap. Many convenience stores, bodegas, etc. will sell a couple staples or classes of items dirt cheap in order to attract business. You buy your regular items where they are cheap (e.g. $1.50/gal brand name milk from the bodega that buys about to expire milk from a restaurant supplier for pennies and passes on the savings to create foot traffic) and buy everything else at CVS.

It attracts attention.

It's not very surprising. When you take a broad meta-category like "groceries" and have 10x the number of locations, it isn't shocking that they would move more product.

Trader Joe's and Whole Foods target specific demographics. I live in a metro area of about 300k people and there are 1 each Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. There are probably 40-50 CVS outlets. Their sole income driver is margin on food. CVS focuses on market saturation -- their profit driver is drugs (a market in which they vertically integrate distribution) that are mostly 3rd party paid. They survive in food deserts because the money made on drugs offsets heavy shrink losses.
I can confirm that. I live near a block of apartment homes that are populated by lower income residents. There's a CVS and a gas station/cstore within walking distance, but the grocery stores and department stores (Target, Walmart) are all more than 2+ miles away. The buses are infrequent and expensive.

Eggs were laid long before birds even evolved. If that's the criteria then the question becomes much easier to answer.
My guess is they might fill a supermarket niche more in denser urban areas. I don't know first hand but it cluld make sense.

I heard accounts of ironically Whole Foods which is referred to as "whole paycheck" in other areas being the cheap option in some areas. I would guess traffic vs stock would also influence prices in non-obvious ways. With perishables, more expensive real estate, high traffic, and customers more likely to buy everything by foot they may be less of a speciality niche in urban areas than suburbs.
Right. With this logic, in a few years, we will all travel naked and not be allowed to cross a border without an all-orifices probe.
Sounds to me they need to set a traffic rule that DevOps diagnostics, alarms, and repair needs to be highest priority traffic.

If they have that and a traffic/congestion dashboard this seems pretty straightforward.

There’s uncertainty at the Federal level, but at the State level, the CA ZEV credits program (which has also been adopted by 9 other states representing in total ~30% of new car sales) will be the tail that wags the dog;

”Manufacturers are required to produce a number of ZEVs and plug-in hybrids each year, based on the total number of cars sold in California by the manufacturer. Manufacturers with higher overall sales of all vehicles are required to make more ZEVs. Requirements are in terms of percent credits, ranging from 4.5% in 2018 to 22% by 2025”

https://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/zevprog/factsheets/zev_regulat...

About 75% of GMs current credit balance comes from TZEV vehicles, but TZEVs are phased out and an increasingly large share of credits must be BEV going forward;
