I have a watch-like thingy that tracks my pulse and give interesting data about sleep patterns but every time I sleep with it I am self conscious about it. It emits light to track the pulse and it's annoying to have something at my wrist.

I can't imagine having a headset and sleeping as I normally sleep. The results wouldn't be fully representative.

> Beyond the ability to unambiguously specify which process should be waited for, this change will eventually enable another interesting feature: it will make it possible to wait for a process that is not a child — something that waitid() cannot do now. Since a pidfd is a file descriptor, it can be passed to another process via an SCM_RIGHTS datagram in the usual manner. The recipient of a pidfd will, once this functionality is completed, be able to use it in most of the ways that the parent can to operate on (or wait for) the associated process.

So, to wait for a process that is not your child, do you have to get the relevant pidfd from its parent? In which case, this doesn't help all that much. Or is there some other way to get pidfds for arbitrary processes?

You're the one who's defining normal badly. If you are told someone, or even all the people in a country, is/are "taller than normal", would you think they were all above 1.853 meters or whatever, or that they were all outside the range of normal heights? Because that's what anyone else would assume.
Not really the reason they are gone. As stated on wiki

> It is estimated that 90% of the indigenous population had been eliminated by disease within the first century of European contact.
No. Half of people are not taller than normal, they're taller than average.
TL;DR:

Experts are always made, not born.

1. Practice deliberately — considerable, specific, and sustained efforts to do something you can’t do well.

2. Take the time you need — ability to attain expert performance is clearly constrained if you have fewer opportunities to engage in deliberate practice, since winning requires a training history comparable with that of other elite performers, nearly all of whom started very early.

3. Find coaches and mentors — development of expertise requires coaches who are capable of giving constructive, even painful, feedback, to extremely motivated students who seek out such feedback.

Real expertise must pass three tests:

1. Leads to performance that is consistently superior to that of the expert’s peers.

2. Produces concrete results.

3. Can be replicated and measured in the lab.

>still weak on laptops where Intel seems like they're putting in a good fight

Compared to just a year ago, AMD are absolutely killing it in the laptop market. The old A-series APUs were strictly relegated to very low cost machines, first-gen Ryzen struggled to gain traction, but most major manufacturers are now offering Ryzen-based laptops across the midrange. AMD are a long way from dominance, but they've become a legitimate competitor in a remarkably short space of time; for the first time ever, I expect my next laptop to be AMD-based.
Robert Sapolsky described it this way [1]:

> You get someone who is severely depressed, like to the point of hospitalization, and when they are absolutely crippled with psychomotor retardation, that's not when you worry about suicide.

> This is someone who's having enough trouble getting out of bed and getting dressed each day. They're not going to figure out how to shred the hospital mattress and make a noose out of it.

> Where you've got your problems is when somebody begins to get better from a severe depression. When they're starting to come out, that's where the psychomotor retardation relieves enough that suddenly they've got the energy to do something catastrophic. That's when people are on suicide watches (when you have clinicians who are oriented well).

Here's some context of what the consensus science says about drought: https://wg1.ipcc.ch/presentations/Sbsta_drought.pdf

• Low confidence in an observed global-scale trend in drought or dryness (lack of rainfall) since the 1950s, due to lack of direct observations, methodological uncertainties and choice and geographical inconsistencies in the trends;

• High confidence that the frequency and intensity of drought since 1950 have likely increased in the Mediterranean and West Africa (although 1970s Sahel drought dominates the trend) and likely decreased in central North America and northwest Australia;

• Low confidence in attributing changes in drought over global land areas since the mid-20th century to human influence owing to observational uncertainties and difficulties in distinguishing decadal-scale variability in drought from long-term trends;

• High confidence for droughts during the last millennium of greater magnitude and longer duration than those observed since the beginning of the 20th century in many regions.

If the 'established industry standards' were real, they would hold up in court. Software has no established industry standards. This has been an issue in many court cases. There are many "standards" but none of them are official which results in any claims of negligence when it comes to software, no matter how egregious the behavior was, failing. We saw this with the Toyota 'unintended acceleration' scandal. The court acknowledged that out of 90+ automotive industry 'recommended' and 'suggested' coding practices, Toyota's code only followed 4. They acknowledged that Toyota let software engineers play no role in deciding scheduling. They acknowledged that Toyota software engineers did not have static analysis and other tools, or even a bug tracker. But, the court had to find them not guilty of criminal negligence because there simply aren't any legal standards or regulations which they could be said to be negligent of.

If you were building a bridge and you hired unqualified engineers, deprived them of tools they needed, ignored them when it came time to determine scheduling, didn't follow established regulations and standards, etc, the companies executives would be prosecuted for criminal negligence and be sent to prison. If software is involved, however, the situation couldn't be more different. It's an issue that has been debated for well over a decade in the ACM at least. Companies don't want to have to pay more for talent, and most software engineers don't want to raise the barrier to entry. The real danger is that if the software industry waits too long to establish some way of handling these issues, some public tragedy will inspire a kneejerk government response that results in a suffocating set of standards that makes everyone unhappy.

To me it's like music creators telling people not to listen to their music on v-shaped headphones. Yeah, it's not what you intended. But that's what they've chosen to use.

Also, if they want the picture to be displayed in a certain way, couldn't they push they movie as 60/frames per second where in fact it's 24/frames per second with static frames? Wouldn't that effectively disable motion smoothing?
That's because its relative to location. The map tracks anomalies, not differences from a pan-european historical average single value.

London has a lot of trees actually. It's Europe's most tree covered capital city. It has more trees than people.
The title makes the data collection sounds sinister, but this is just a case of a company wanting to make the best product possible. It's necessary to collect data to improve systems.

Norway (and all of Europe) has outsourced much of its collective defense to the United States, so if Norway and the Europeans are comfortable with the entire US military apparatus protecting them, it is quite surprising that Norway would have a problem with something as comparatively insignificant as flight data being sent back to Lockheed.

In fact, given the protective relationship the US has with Europe, wouldn't Norway want to provide as much data as possible to help improve Lockheed's technology and hence the West's future defensive capabilities?
London has a lot of trees for a city. More trees than people, apparently. 8 million trees covering 21% of the land area, according to London.gov.uk.

Not sure to be honest. From the documentation: "Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks in the cgroup". Even if not, it should still be sufficient once all tasks are frozen: If you then send SIGKILL to all processes in the group, no fork bomb or similar process kerfuffle will be able to avoid being killed once they get unfrozen.

I have a visa card. They introduced a verification check for online use a few years ago. This involved giving the answer to a question or typing in a passphrase or something (can't remember, I almost never use it).

When setting it up on the web I had to type in the answer/passphrase/whatever. It was rejected. I read the form again, looked at the error msg, no indication why, typed it in again, again rejected.

I called the bank, "oh, it's got to have a digit in it". It did not say on the form a digit was needed, nor did the error message.

They could not even manage to tell the users the most trivial requirements either directly or in the error message. It's beyond pathetic. It's literally incomprehensibly incompetent to fail at such a low level.

No not at all. The Chelsea Russell case 17 year old girl on facebook posted rap lyrics, we also have the 'Count Dankula' case which the Scottish court decided it was "Nazi Recruitment" ignoring the context where he clearly said "I am using this to annoy my girlfriend" at the start of the video. I believe there is also a case where some Grime rappers were charged with hate speech for their songs ... this would be the equivalent of locking NWA up for the Straight Outta Compton album.

So no it isn't clear at all.
Shortsightedness aside, it doesn't really matter what the intentions are, certainly not for the military.
That's not the same as controlling for socio-economic status. A millennial living in a city-center apartment and a boomer living in a paid-up house in the suburbs might have the same income, but they have very different life circumstances and experience very different levels of stress.
At least for the first conquistadores, this is wildly incorrect. It is true that they saw the Mesoamerican culture as wrong (particularly the human sacrifice bit), and put the conquest of territory for Spain as of high importance, but their understanding of the world was more complex than what you describe. I really recommend reading Bernal Díaz del Castillo‘a firsthand account of the conquest of “New Spain” to get an idea of how these people viewed the world!
The term "normal" has to refer to a range - not a point - exactly for the reasons you gave. Then it does make sense to make a statement like 90% of some population is normal.

I meant, cancer is not a living organism, in a way, that a living organism can reproduce. Cancer can only grow, until the body is destroyed, but not beyond.

A parasite is its own organism, has its own purpose. Even though it is against the
purpose of the host.
Cancer has no purpose. It is a "bug" in the organism that can be fatal.

Did you hear about Amazon FBA?

You can source a product from a Chinese manufacturer and sell it on Amazon:
1.) find a niche that you find interesting before you source
2.) you bulk buy this product and ship it directly to Amazon warehouse
3.) make attractive Amazon listing and put much effort into your launch so that you can get your product ranked
4.) with a successful launch and a quality product you can get to the first page of Amazon
5.) just sit back and refill orders

It has some cons as well, but it is definitely viable way how to create passive income. The cons are following:
- the fees for Amazon FBA including monthly seller fee, shipping to warehouse, warehouse storage each month, long term warehouse storage, shipping to customer, Amazon referral fee
- you are dependent on one platform
- you are not building your own brand (but you can start it afterwards if you see FBA is working for you)
It's annoying, but there was this fad a few years ago and many websites did it, and probably this one was designed at that time.
The normal distribution does not define a mathematical meaning of the term "normal". Any distribution can define a normal range relative to that distribution.
100% agreed. 24fps is far too low for fast motion. People in the industry talk about "art" to justify their low frame-rate, but I don't believe them for a moment. 24fps lets film-makers get away with sloppy technique that would be exposed if we could actually see moving things clearly. 24fps is cost-cutting.

TV makers are just trying their best to improve things under the constraint of bad quality source material. Motion smoothing isn't perfect, but I'm not convinced it's worse than the alternative.

Draught is an extremely noisy measurement. Because California got some unexpected but not unprecedented rain, draught on average is way down. However many parts of the US are also extremely abnormally dry- even if they aren't pushed into full on draught: https://www.wbur.org/news/2016/09/01/driest-boston-summer

It doesn't even matter if the dryness has no negative effect whatsoever (which it certainly does), because it's a measurement of a trend and it WILL eventually cause issues.

The Quest for Formally Secure Compartmentalizing Compilation [pdf]
The ultimate solution here, I think, is to allow creators to encode the desired setting, frame rate, or content category in the metadata so that a user can benefit from the technology when watching sports without it detracting from a film later on. Then the default setting could be "auto" and diehards could override one way or the other.

I'm glad to see a brief tip to that solution in the article and hope it becomes part of an industry specification.

I'm not really sure what you're arguing here. All I'm saying is that corporate profits shouldn't dictate every aspect of society. That's why sane countries have implemented things like universal healthcare and free primary/secondary education.
