OK...why do you think is it false? That you don't care about contemporary music doesn't really disprove it.
Growing up, "kev" was a synonym for chav, townie, ned. At my waaaaaay-over-privileged rugby-playing school, we called football "kevball".
"no doubt" and "may" are two words that contradict one another. Clearly whoever wrote that has no idea what they are talking about.
STOVL can certainly be retrofitted the same way lots of things are: as an external pod.

Guide the pilot into a suitable position above the landing area. (with visual indicators, much like those for a bombing run) Once the plane is in the right spot, a computer finishes the job with full automation. The aircraft is stalled. The pods fire rockets. The aircraft is guided down and brought to a stop.

This retrofit would be particularly sensible for the F-15, which normally carries conformal fuel tanks. That would be a fine place to install the retrofit.
This is great! I now know that "minimal psy" is the name of the genre I like to listen to whilst coding.

I'd love to see something similar for the various sub-genres of drum & bass.

'Psybreaks' really reminds me of the soundtrack to the original Wipeout game, written by Cold Storage (http://www.coldstorage.org.uk/).

Voynich Manuscript: People keep convincing themselves they’ve solved the mystery
A comment that points out a possible marketing campaign followed by a response that questions the comment while casually dropping the brand name and model of a product. That response seems marketing campaign.
Look up the Hagakure, even there's a part about how "the youth of today" is lacking basic discipline etc.
This is assuming the story is real, not just some marketing campaign:

1. Therapy requires mutual trust to work. Administrating therapy at this point, after turning the child into an adversary by taking away electronics as a form of punishment, would make the child think that the therapy sessions are no more than another form of punishment. Nothing useful can come out of the therapy if the child perceives the therapist as an enemy.

2. It frightens me how people turns everything that is supposed to be a part of human life into a medical condition, and treat 'therapy' as the deus ex machina that could solve all inconveniences in our social life.

Not sure how to understand this. I have traveled to the DDR and to East Germany after the reunification many times, and by far and large life is much better than it ever was. People can actually buy cars instead of Trabants. Of course an economic gap has long lasting consequences (the long tail of economic policies) but what you should point out is how much better it is now than it was during the DDR era.

Wow. I'm old enough to remember when it was just goa trance.

And then towards the end of the 90's the kicks became more pronounced and the melodies were dropped in favour of more psychedelic soundscapes. From that it seemed the genre split into daytime trance that was brighter and more uplifting and nighttime that was darker and more psychedelic. As a dj, people would grumble at you if you played daytime trance at night, or vice versa!

Even then most psytrance was played at a more sane Bpm < 145. And then I think the Russians came in around 2006. Artists like Kindzadza pushed the Bpm up to 150+ and it all went crazy. It seems artists started to compete with eachother to write the craziest tracks, and rather than reaching for more psychedelia, they just made the track faster. I'm almost a bit sad to see that the guide lists Forest as 150+ bpm. It was much more psychedelic at 145 (imho).

That was kind of when I dropped out of the scene, its quite crazy to look back and see how categorized it has become. Im going to have to have a browse..

For more, there is a ton of psytrance available to download for free on https://ektoplazm.com/.
That's a fantastic idea. Just to escape from kids/work and have a good read sounds kind of magical. For some reason it seems more appealing than just going to a park or library and doing it. The socialising would be kind of reliant on reading roughly the same genre I suspect - don't think a romance and sci-fi would lead to a lot of conversation starters, but you never know.

Owning stocks is actually risky - in case of market crash (and it has happened often enough so that it's definitely possible as a once-in-a-lifetime event) you can lose big especially if you counted on it for pension/retirement purposes. Investment should always be done in context. Sometimes it's right to buy stocks, sometimes it isn't. Right now the market reaching sky-highs is not natural: there is no massive gain of productivity going on across industries so there should not be a massive uplift of all future earnings/values across the board.
I've got some bad news for you: if you want to have a UI that's both complicated and responsive, you have to do something like this regardless of the platform. The golden rule is "don't block the UI thread", but then you have to decide how much work you can do synchronously before it counts as "blocking" versus the cost of moving it to some asynchronous worker. Getting it wrong gives you "white windows" or "beachballs" on native UIs.

Native UIs also have the significant advantage of loading all their resources from the filesystem, which is usually faster than the network.
The US is much more liberal about this. You have to pay a fee and put in some paperwork and make an announcement in a news paper with a certain amount of readers and a judge will deny requests that violate a very limited set of common sense criteria.

Sometimes the judges can get a bit lazy about actually filtering requests. Jesus Christ literally lives in New York.

People often equate introvert to mean "doesn't prefer to be around people" and extroverts to mean "loves to be around people", but that's essentially a myth.

The best layman explanation I have heard is that extroverts are "recharged" by being around others whereas introverts recharge by being alone. For example, I really like being around people, but the idea of not having time to myself to recharge can be exhausting.
Where there's a will there's a way. Reminds me of the old days in the 90's when my old man used to take away our PC's power cable to "manage my computer addiction", so I made my own from an old stereo power cable and two nails. Good times.

It was frustrating. I loved the Amiga but when I saw Wing Commander featured in ACE magazine in 1990 I realised that the PC was where the innovative games were coming from. And I wanted to be a game dev so I had to follow where the industry was going. I hoped that Commodore would pull something out of the bag, but the A1200 wasn't enough. If they had done something like a Playstation 1 but with keyboard and OS for £5-£600 there might have been a chance.

What few people mention is how the price of computing suddenly shot up at the end of the home computer era. In my neck of the woods, the Amiga 500 was the "expensive one" - I had friends with £50 used ZX Spectrums. Suddenly we needed £1000 PCs if we wanted to stay relevant (and we absolutely needed to - "self-taught coder" was mine and my friends route out of the rural working class)

It was a very rough time for poorer nerds trying to make something of themselves. It coincided with the end of the "bedroom programmer" era; game developers started seeing themselves as media companies and demanding degrees. Then the web came along and swashbuckling expertise counted for something again, though I would have given anything to be an Amiga-era gamedev.
Is there a clear, and precise, definition of bias? "Systematic deviation from the truth" sounds like a good start, but truth isn't exactly something that is easily available in practice.

Honestly, similarity measures seems like a good start to build a more robust "bias" definition on, even if it won't be exactly the meaning I suggested above.

Which calls into question the whole idea that democracy even works and that people can actually think for themselves and aren't just controlled by whatever propaganda happens to show up in front of their faces. I don't even argue politics with people any more because it's almost 100% what news sources they trust and find credible.

It's all just rumor and innuendo these days. Those news sources trust and find credible "anonymous sources" that say for example that Trump colluded with Russia or the Clintons are doing various unspeakable things and then you're arguing with these supposedly credible anonymous sources that each person reads and trusts. Since the sources are anonymous and nobody actually goes on the record, it's just a bunch of back and forth with no basis in facts except which news sources people trust and find authoritative.

Latitude doesn't, you're right, though the map on the site you linked shows broad-strokes correlation, and I've found it helpful if I guess imprecise in illustrating general temperature differences.

The difference in summers - cool summer vs hot summer - is a big one, and I'd suggest that it makes Boston's climate not really the same as most of northern Europe. We haven't traditionally needed air conditioning in Germany, for example, while I understand Boston and New England (the upper mid-Atlantic and New York, surely, when I lived and visited there) come to rely on it during the summer months to not just live in puddles of sweat.

ISPs rely on DPI equipment vendors, which do all those things. And no, this is not an NSA level stuff, just your basic commercial traffic analyzing. And in fact, the most common spying ISPs do is not on DNS or HTTP, but just on IP sessions, i.e. netflow data, they record and store it for months or years. This is likely the first thing you need to protect yourself from.

DoH not just doesn't help privacy, it makes it worse for everyone by letting another party to get their DNS data and by centralizing requests on that party to actually help NSA and large scale commercial spying. ISPs are still going to get that data too though. And theoretical possibility of encrypted SNI is definitely not going to prevent that, it's probably not going to be a thing at all, just remember how quickly all the megacorps jumped in to close the equivalent domain fronting technique under a little bit of pressure from governments forcing megacorps to allow governments to identify traffic to censor something specific or get all their networks blacklisted on the IP level.

Megacorp proposed "security" and "privacy" solutions generally do not do anything good for end users at all only take away control from end users. These are the times we live in.

Totally different genre, but German industrial/art/whatever band Einstürzende Neubauten has a song titled 'Hör mit Schmerzen' (Listen with/in pain) - which, as far as titles go, is pretty descriptive.

(I love the Neubauten, by the way - but I will admit to preferring their output from Zeichnungen des Patienten O.T. onwards - where at least fragments of melody can be heard... The debut Kollaps is... Well, challenging.)

Too right. When we had to name a child, I took all the CSV files of every child names in Scotland for last 15 years (Scottish Government provides all the raw statistics for every name) and loaded the data set into elasticsearch where I was then able to construct visualisations and trends of candidate names and get ideas etc.

My point is simply that this kind of adjustment is likely to take a century or even more. Look at the long lasting impact of economic disparities in the US between the South and the North as another example.

Also, we would need to check in the economic History of Germany if the Eastern Lander of Germany were not always poorer compared to the Western Lander. The large economic output of the Rhur should already have tipped the economic scale way before the DDR.

> "Systematic deviation from the truth" sounds like a good start

"Truth" is such a vague notion bordering on unusable in most rational contexts, as what most people consider "truth" contains some bias or other. When people quarrel over truthfulness is seldom the facts that they disagree on; it is the valuation of those facts in relation to the topic, i.e. relevance.

Not counting the type of bias which is not ashamed to twist the actual facts, but that is a rarity, and easily dismissed.
It seems to illustrate our attenuation to story and the effect of dominant stories on our worldviews.

I'd suggest it's less a challenge to democracy and more an affirmation of the criticality of a fact-based, unbiased 4th estate, and the scary effects of anyone with a comb-over and green screen being able to make their own "news" show.

I see the future of Uber and the other gig services as just being a SASS provider that handles routing and dispatching without actually needing to maintain a fleet of contractors.

Celebrity Death Match Judge, Mills Lane: “I’ll Allow it.”
I find it painful to see my favourite all-time genre of music, goatrance, getting more and more obscure and snowed under the abundance of time and psytrance. I can relate to oldschool house, trance, and techno lovers alike.

Consider the introduction in this article to goatrance, at the very bottom of the website after all kind of psytrance subgenres.

Roland TB-303? Not mentioned. The archetype synthesizer of acid and goa trance.

Acid? Not mentioned. A genre related and inspirational to goa trance. Same with trance, and techno.

SH-101? Not mentioned. Frequently used synthesizer in trance, including goa.

4-4-4-4-1 bass-line? Not mentioned. Its the bass-line which is typically found in goa trance. Some tracks by Miranda even have a slightly different bass tone on every bass hit which creates a kind of 3D effect in the bass (it feels like salsa to me).

Etnica? Not mentioned. Huge name (with sub projects like Crop Circles and Pleiadians) in the 90s.

For me, a band like Juno Reactor is much more according to the psychedelic values than the conventional psytrance.

Also, goa trance wasn't formed in Goa in the 80s. It was the very end of the 80s, but more the early 90s (91-93). It was normal to combine all kind of genres back then (trance, techno, house, etc). Consider, for example, the legendary Paul Oakenfold - Goa Mix from 1994. Or this very mix which combines different genres in one [1] (though it includes acid, not goa trance).
