> The triple product is the correct figure of merit and JT-60U did great there.

Look. If you have a graph where you show a certain point called "figure-of-merit" being above a so called break-even point, every layperson in this world will assume that you get more energy out than you put in. If you then say that it's breakeven for a different reaction, they'll either question your sanity, or they'll accuse you of bait-and-switch. If you don't understand why you get your funding cut, you'll think life is unjust or cruel. Other people will nod sympathetically when you'll complain of the unfairness of this world , but secretly they'll disagree with you.
Making Excel Look Pretty – A 16ish Part Tweet Series
I took finsteride for a couple of years in my mid to late twenties. My libido was affected but I'm not sure if it was the drug or the severe lack of confidence caused by the realisation I was going to be bald soon.

I started balding on my crown, but being relatively tall I could hide it when standing or when facing people seated. After months of doing crazy stuff like getting to restaurants early so I could get a seat with my back to a wall and declining meetings in glass-walled meeting rooms at work I decided enough was enough and shaved my head.

Making that move was the best thing I could have done for my confidence. Instantly I felt better about myself and that translated in to other areas of my life.

Your scalp is way thinner and much more delicate than the skin on your cheeks and neck. And remember that you can't see the back of your head, so you have to spend extra time shaving that part of yourself because you have to do it with two mirrors.

I shaved my head for a solid year, and I had to be incredibly delicate because any nick or scratch and I would bleed like a stuck pig.

This is all based on the toxic and feudal idea that there should be a strict hierarchy of authority and pay that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. Each layer of employees should have a smaller layer of higher-paid overseers, going all the way up to the king (CEO).

I first shaved my head for high swim team and after college started shaving it daily and would never go back. Save much time & money that other people spend drying, styling and cutting hair. It’s great to be able to dunk my head under the tap on a hot day and dry off after showering or water sports with one wipe.

This is assuming the employees and stock holders are rational and can maintain long-term risky assets. Plenty of people will be looking to cash out as they've held stock for a long period and want to buy a nice house or car or something.

I'm sure the wealthier percentage will take a longer term look at it. But I wouldn't generalize the average equity owning employee as you would a typical public market.

Russia is hardly unique in being selective in its support for the right of self-determination. The independence of Kosovo was illegal under international law, but supported by the United States and its allies. Most of those same countries are now sanctioning Russia for annexing Crimea, even though that was clearly the will of a large majority of Crimeans. Everyone is hypocritical about these matters.

Interestingly, Spain is somewhat consistent here: they don't recognize Kosovo, because they have their own separatist troubles in Catalonia.

When I got implants they told me to take minoxidil and finasteride. I didn't take the finasteride, and the implants are fine. They eventually told me I could stop the minoxidil, which made me wonder what the point was.

You'll also need a scheme for pruning older backups to recover storage.
A IPv4-only client cannot talk to a IPv6-only server: a 128-bit address does not fit in a 32-bit address. In a dual-stacked network, you get an IPv4 and an IPv6 address, and the network speaks both IPv4 and IPv6. So you speak IPv6 to IPv6 servers and IPv4 to IPv4 servers.

NAT64 has your ISP be an IPv6-only network--you get an IPv6, no IPv4 address--and your gateway to the Internet is an IPv4 server that translates public IPv4 addresses to IPv6 addresses for you to talk to. The server at that IPv6 address translates the IPv6 address you requested into the original IPv4 address, and acts as an IPv4 client to the IPv4 server.

That looks odd, the scar doesn't go that far. Plus, you can have implants without a scar now.
Some v6 networks are able to convert your v4 to a v6 address, but that's pretty spotty.

If you are v4 only, and the server is v6 only, you really don't have much hope of connecting.
I'm guessing that working as an engineer at one of these orgs would have been far worse. (Unless it's one of those rare cases where management's so tied up in its own bureaucracy that the tech team gets to run itself.)
I got implants and, when I see people who haven't seen me in a while, they always ask if I grew taller or if I lost weight or why I look more handsome.

Very few people could tell it was the hair, many could tell I just looked better.
My understanding is that residential usage of IPv6 actually outpaces Enterprise adoption in the US.
"The Ukraine" is the traditional way of referring to the country/region, going back centuries. Many languages, including Ukrainian itself, have traditionally referred to the Ukraine using similar grammatical constructs.

> Is it recency bias on my part to say it feels like this tactic is showing up in more places than it deserves to?

No, but it is recency bias to think that it showing up in more places than it deserves to is novel. It has been an exceedingly common tactic everywhere for probably as long as civilization, or maybe language, has existed; it manifests in moral/religious/philosophical dualism, for instance, which is extremely widespread and ancient.

eh? I've been shaving my head for the past 15 years and it's never been a long process. Takes me about 90 sec to shave my head.

Just buy good quality razors and shaving gel and you can do it almost as quickly as someone styling their hair. I spend about as much time brushing my teeth.

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) in New Zealand has a code of practice for Therapeutic and Health Advertising (below). My father was running the ASA when this came in, and NZ and the USA were the only 2 countries with D2C ads for pharmaceuticals.

The advertising amount and impact in NZ is a lot lower than in the US as our healthcare system is largely public (government funded) with a single buyer (Pharmac) of pharmaceuticals that exercises considerable pricing power, and is unafraid to change brands. Most of us go to the doctor and take what is prescribed.

The scar is at the bottom (just above the ear) and would go either half way or all the way around and end at the same point on the other side.

Yes Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is possible, it has less yield than strip harvesting but if you don't need to maximize donor area it's a good option to avoid a scar (you'll still have micro scars from extraction area but it's much less visible).

But in Elon's case, it's clear he underwent strip harvesting for at least 1 implant.

And so we must rely on v4 addresses to cater for v4 only connected hosts. This is the point the article is trying to make - for a transition to actually happen there needs to be interoperability between v4 and v6, that is v4-only clients need to talk to v6-only servers, and v6-only servers need to talk to v4-only clients. That is a fundamental requirement for a transition plan which provides a straight-forward path from v4 to v6.
I came here to say the same thing.

I also just hated worrying about which hairstyle to get, how to maintain that style, and when to repeat that process. Now it's a cheap and simple part of my routine that looks and feels great!

The only thing that makes me think I'm wrong is the consideration that maybe my CV at the time was too crowded, I later had someone improve my CV and after that it started getting more uptake, but even so it was too weird, to make an example here (and note to make the example mean anything I have to use someone famous enough that people will understand it, I am not making any equivalence between us), it would be equivalent to a job announcement saying:

You have a very strong background in Ruby on Rails, understanding of Instiki Wiki, and the Basecamp project management software. You have developed at least one open source project that is used by many people, and you should also have developed at least one project management software. Over that it would be nice if you know something about racing cars, and have won the "Hacker of the Year" award at least once.

(First I want to make a point/clarification. When I say v4-only, I mean a dual stacked host connected to Internet only via v4. Likewise for v6.)

If you don't have v4 and v6 interoperability - that is v4-only cannot connect to v6-only and vice-versa, how does the Internet (mostly v4-only hosts) go to v6?

Here's a thought experiment that might help: imagine what you say is truly the case - that would mean you could "charge up" a dice by rolling it until you got a long run of a given number - lets pick something arbitrary, say you roll until you get 5 twos in a row. According to what you've said the chance of the next number rolled being a two is now lower than it was when you started "charging up" your dice.

How is this possible? Nothing is physically changing about the dice between rolls.

It's not a cure-all, especially for language learning. I say this as someone who has done a ton of spaced repetition, language learning and who, in a former life, wrote curriculum for language learners. 95% of the time, if you have the option to choose between ER (extensive reading) and SRS, go with ER. SRS is very useful for certain sub-problems in language learning, though.

> I'm curious if anyone else has used spaced repetition over a long period of time with a deliberately ambitious plan.

An early pioneer, Piotr Wozniak, did exactly that, even to the detriment of the business success of Super Memo. He lived his life by an algorithm, timed swimming workouts to aid his SRS, put his emails through SRS, lived on a > 24 hour schedule... He basically went all in.
