I cant speak for other diets but I follow low fodmap diet as I suffer from IBS. I always assumed that I was prescribed that diet to influence the gut bacteria. I mean the bacteria ferment on high fodmap foods and bloat and distend your stomach.

Talking about low fodmap specifically I wouldnt call it fad as it has been and is being researched and has shown to be effective to help with IBS, maybe not so much for other conditions.

Personally I have found it helpful in reducing the symptoms that I have.

That works and is perfectly uniform (if the people are i.i.d.), but requires quizzing around 20, 40, 60 or more people for a number before you can deliver one, while the algorithm described only requires one or two.

also, feedback is more granular by several orders of magnitude. In a political democracy we roll up every single issue (including mutually contradictory ones) into a bundle of policies, multiply that by an uncertainty factor of the personality of the person you are voting for, and then a fraction of us actually turn out to make the decision.

Meanwhile in the market I can decide down to the level of "no, these oranges aren't sufficiently orange-y for me".

I'm no market fundamentalist, mind you. I'd rather find ways to make the public sector more responsive to public feedback than through occasional elections.

In this system, you'd never get credit. You'd apply for a loan or CC, they'd ask you for permission to check with a CRA and share your info, you'd say no, and they'd show you the door.

> Second, they're always wrong and hard to correct. Been there, done that.

No, they're not. Sometimes they're wrong, either because bad info was reported, or there's a problem at the CRA. Sometimes the errors are hard to correct. I've never had any bad information on my reports. That doesn't mean it doesn't happen, any more than you seeing something wrong on your report means they're "always wrong". It just means that no system is perfect.
Some people are bitter and resentful and would have had the exact same childhood you did and think their parents weren’t there for them. People in extremely similar circumstances feel very differently about them all the time, often enough within the same family.
People want safety. There are multiple ways to achieve that, electronic surveillance is just a lazy/economical way of doing it with a not insignificant civil liberty cost. If you aren’t being hurt, you might think that cost is too great, if you are being hurt, you won’t.

So I guess as a society, we should try to provide safety, and if surveillance isn’t desirable, we have to be willing to pay higher costs for another solution (eg fewer students per class so teachers can pay attention to bullying).
Health has become a sort of religion for many. Health, food and religion frequently go together in old mythology and now new.

These days it just isn't because some mystical being said so.

In the US TI has established a multi-decade monopoly in schools. Basically, the teachers are only familiar with specifically them, so they require student only use them, so new teachers are only familiar with them.

As a result, a new TI-85 equivalent is only trivially upgraded from what I used 25 years ago and costs exactly as much minus inflation.

Awesome. Some feedback:

* When you click one of the lower videos, nothing happens. That is because what actually happens is that far far up, the video got replaced. But the user can't notice the action happens scrolled off-screen. Very confusing.

* The brown link colours (e.g. link to "introductory videos" on http://texmacs.org/tmweb/help/learn.en.html) are almost indistinguishable from black text, at least on my monitor. It would be great to make them more visible, otherwise people won't find your good new material.
I think you need to look into the intent of that statement, and by doing so understand its consequences.
That doesn't mean it can't use the same _jetway_ (we were discussing jetways, not gate spacing) you'd use on a 737 or that a 737 can't park at a stand wide enough to fit an A380.
Yeah, there's a few types of "great solutions" in engineering. There are those that run really fast (big O) and those that can be written really fast.

This has the property that if even a single person answers uniformly at random, then the final number you compute will be uniformly random, regardless of how everyone else answers.
That's pretty good, as long as each person can't hear any of the previous numbers! The article has the same issue, and might even be biased by the second person knowing they're the second person.

The Cyberutopian (2014)
My interpretation is this:

DOS uses a System File Table (SFT) track open files (file handles are just a pointer into the SFT).

Despite the size of each entry of the SFT being the same for all versions of DOS up to 5.0, Windows attempts to determine the size by observation.

Because DOS itself opens three handles to the CON device, it can determine the size of an SFT entry by finding three evenly spaced occurrences of the string 'CON ' in memory.

This usually works but if a utility program (not sure what that refers to) moves that portion of the SFT into upper memory (640K-1MB) then Windows won't be able to find it.

The magazine has the solution in the form of a .BAT file that will place three properly spaced instances of 'CON ' in conventional memory so that Windows can find it.
Heh, I was half expecting the top comment to be something about their reliability. British boutique auto manufacturers have many virtues, but electronics is not one of them.
Parents algorithm always works, the one described has a massive failure mode - people slowly learn that they are likely to say 7 and self-censor by picking another number. Or maybe in a different culture the distribution changes (say China and the numbers 4, 8).
The proceeding lines make that clearer for me.

In my mind a switch statement is like "here is an execution path for every state this enumeration can hold" (like the author says, compiler or ide may warn you about missing cases) while an if else is a bit more general than that. With an if else you might only be checking for a few specific conditions.
Is there maybe a copy of this text on a plain webpage anywhere that I can read instead?

Unfortunately not; this seems to be one of those obscure and unusual facts that may or may not have been well-known 26 years ago, and something I couldn't find a reference to anywhere else on the Internet (but that may be due to other things[1].) I've reproduced the interesting part here:

The size of an SFT entry is fixed for every DOS version up to 5.0, but Windows attempts to determine the SFT size by observation. It scans conventional memory seeking three evenly spaced occurrences of the string "CON" and takes the distance between them to be the size of one SFT entry. Since DOS itself opens three consecutive SFT entries for the CON device, this technique usually works. But if a utility program moves that portion of the SFT to upper memory (memory above 640K and below 1MB), Windows won't find it.

HIFILES.BAT overcomes this problem by placing a trio of ersatz SFT entries in conventional memory, where Windows can find them. All that's important is that the characters C, O, N, and space appear three times, starting 59 bytes apart.

Here are some images that may be clearer:

Schönefeld requires an extra cost ticket, the Tegel bus works on your normal AB ticket (day pass or single ride). Having watched the addition of rail service to OAK (and SFO), I don't really see the attraction. In the case of Oakland, the bus was faster, half the cost, and dropped you off closer to the airport. With Tegel, the bus is relatively quick (around 20 minutes from the Hauptbahnhof) — my only complaint is the lack of ventilation and cooling onboard (which is often a problem on trains too).

Quite frankly New York has a similar problem. There is rail service to JFK but requires an extra cost ticket and it's a fairly long trip (moreso if you're taking the subway instead of LIRR). I'd be willing to take a bus if it got me there quicker for less money. Yeah, Newark has rail (but it doesn't run particularly late).

I wish you had left your other comment up. You had specific fundamental equations and good details about why the patent must be nonsense. Anyway, thank you for your other comments as well. Something is so odd with all of this and having qualified experts weight in is extremely valuable to those who are with good faith trying to uncover wtf is going on.

I agree the loss of manufacturing & production skill in the US is a problem. I dont think you can blame Wall Street directly for "short termism".

Monopolies aside, investment flows to the most efficient ways of doing things. Right now in a globalized world that really is to produce in China. If you want the most strategic and adversarial way that is a different problem. Globalization has been a drive for American governments the last half a century, was it wrong? You can't blame the investment community for globalization.
Some do. Some don't.
You don't need encryption for a local protocol, and wayland does not support remote desktops (yet?).

The equipment is very expensive. The packaging of the items themselves can have a higher cost also. Many items don't really taste noticeably different after a temperature-based pasteurization so for those, the increased cost isn't worth it.

Pasteurization is necessary for most packaged food products to be licensed for sale.

The big apps for this right now seem to be juice products. A heat-pasteurized juice is noticeably inferior to an HPP one.

You would typically not pasteurize an unpackaged product. You don't have to pasteurize a bell pepper.

Perhaps sending structured slices of dicoms to downstream microservices (or clients), Tensorflow inputs, perhaps in other places too? Proto representations of data can be nice because they are super easy to unpack (way easier than a dicom directly) and offer language-native data containers to work with the data. But ultimately you could always just deal with the dicom, or store the data in some other representation (JSON, etc).

Some context from the beginning of the article for why this data would be moved in the first place:

> With the advent of upper memory managers, several utilities that save conventional memory by moving DOS system data into upper memory have become popular. Many of these utilities extend the System File Table (SFT), creating space for additional file handles in upper memory and linking it to the SFT chain. This technique can save as much as 14K of conventional memory, depending on the number of SFT entries moved to upper memory.
Excellent point. The algorithm in the article is predicated on a specific distribution and iid, GP algorithm is predicated only on iid.
Thanks, that sounds awesome. Rust seems like an interesting language, haven't really had the chance to dive too deep into it recently though. Go programs can also compile down to webassembly, so looking forward to playing with that as well!
OP here. Yes, the article itself it somewhat vague but I found the implications relevant and thought others would also. We tend to view and focus on the use of cryptographic privacy tech like VPN's as a way to escape or bypass a more restrictive environment to a less restrictive one but the inverse is just as societally significant and necessary.
Thank you for the kind words! We appreciate it, and it is nice to hear that people find it to be useful.

We just added a new feature yesterday---it is a new tab that allows you to analyze a DICOM file within the browser, see the values it contains, and easily cross check the tags with the standard. Any feedback would be welcome.

Its likely that most people watch a movie with an aim towards tracking the plot, so that the movie makes sense. Still, you get a sense for the director or cinematographer's talent/style by watching a film even more broadly. It takes a few examples and then you are sensitized to the idea.

Consider the opening shot from Boogie Nights (1997) which is available here [0]. If you watched it and came back here, would you have noticed that it was done all in one take (without a single cut, until the one right before the end of the video) aka the 'long take' technique. Apart from the fact that it was a crane and a steadicam being used, think of the immense work required to coordinate all the actors and crew so that a minimum of takes were required to achieve this desired outcome. (And, that director Paul Thomas Anderson was about 27 when it was shot.) This is the stylism of the director shining through.

I'm sure one can find a job outside their field for 50% less money which doesn't trigger the non-compete, if that's the case.

Though, TBH, I'd like the comp to be 100% of the offer I'd be forced to forego. I.e. I go interview somewhere, negotiate an offer with them, and if my previous employer feels very strongly about me not working there, they can pay me 100% of the total package to not work there. That's the only set-up that'd be truly "fair" to the former employee, IMO.

> If we have a monopoly problem (as the article's framing conveys), then we should maybe look at a solution to the incentives for excess corporate consolidation and anti-competitive behaviour, rather than getting dragged into the weeds with tired conversations about personal income taxes.

How do you discourage consolidation without increasingly punitive tax levels on concentrated wealth and income (individual and corporate)? There are strong financial incentives for winner-take-all, I don't see non-financial tools being effective at fighting them.

No, it's not; SSH’s transport layer component, as I understand it, provides functionality loosely comparable to TLS, but SSH does not rely on, assume, use, or incorporate TLS in any way.

During high school, I played a lot of morrowind and thought it was cool to learn how to pick locks. I had already known how to break combination locks, and I already taught myself to open traditional pin and tumbler locks. I saw a number lock with 4 digits and I couldn't help myself. Considering they were just numbers I thought to myself, this is a guaranteed crack. So every day before and after class, I would take a minute to mechanically go through about 50 numbers. Testing numbers is surprisingly quick.

It only took me like 3-4 weeks of testing a few numbers before and after class and I had it open.
