I was diagnosed with BPD just 9 months ago, previously mis-diagnosed as bi-polar. In my case, I lost the few good people that were around me before I was diagnosed. Since being diagnosed and starting therapy, things have become much clearer to me. For one I've realized how much of an asshole I must've come across to my previous friends and family. Rather than noticing the good people around me who probably would of been understanding, my attention was always drawn to people who treated me like shit and who I knew were bad for me. Then I'd suffer for it. If I had been diagnosed with my BPD much earlier and checked myself, the few friends who walked out of my life may still be here. I now find it very hard to get to know people who I'd like to surround myself with as I live with constant guilt. It's easier for some than others. So yeah, for people like me who the community is a good idea. I need to meet new people and learn from other people's experiences.
Where do you see that?

Looking at the "Universal LISP function" on page 13 in [0], the case for apply/LAMBDA just extends the current environment a with the arguments of the lambda, but it doesn't unpack a closure to get the environment the lambda function was defined in, so it implements the dynamic version. (Unlike, e.g., the interpreter in SICP [1].)

I think you might be misunderstanding my intentions. I was looking for some scientific references to learn more and thought you might be able to point me to them.
Not really. You can view a live feed of the Earth. Modeling climate change has proven to be very difficult. I'm not saying those people aren't wrong, but it's not as black and white as round vs flat.
Interesting bit since I always figured waifu2x was the best at upscaling:

>Interesting enough, waifu2x performed very poorly on anime. A plausible explaination is that the network was simply not trained to upscale these types of images. Usually anime style art have sharper lines and contain much more small details/textures compared to anime. The distribution of images used to train waifu2x must have been mostly art images from sites like DevianArt/Danbooru/Pixiv, and not anime.

For those saying they have to use Manual because of unevenly lit subjects or background light: I use a combo of spot metering + lock exposure toggle.

I can then recompose and keep shooting. No need to dial my SS or ISO manually.

The only time I play with shutter speed is if I want to introduce motion blur or freeze action.

Or when doing night photography on a tripod, I don’t want the camera raising the ISO because it’s trying to compensate for motion blur that doesn’t exist.

There's also a problem that a lot of this smuggling may be illegal (not willingly accepted by other countries under their laws) and fraudulent (done instead of real recycling). So the statistics we have about the destination of recycling and general waste may be wrong.

It doesn't work because the sizes of the numerator and denominator generally increase at an exponential rate, even if using variable-width integer containers for them, you end up squaring the running time of an algorithm.

Speaking of GPS, I've always wondered what their explanation is for how GPS works if there's no globe to speak of. Are the satellites in orbit around the flat earth? :)
Thanks for bringing this up! Monica is definitely an inspiration for what Dex is working on. I think it'd be fair to characterize two main contrasts: 1) Dex is for relationships that are both professional and personal 2) tries to be more integrated with existing workflows (using your calendar)
Yes it is becoming a real problem here in Australia.

Historically we've "outsourced" our recycling problem to Asian nations rather than develop or implement solutions at home, and unfortunately now our chickens are coming home to roost.

It's a belief system that is naturally selected for, for one thing.

How many liberal atheists do you know with 4+ kids, versus conservatives?
What I don't get is how small some of these numbers are. Weren't some of the figures being tossed around valuing it at $40bn? And their revenues are in the low single digit billions. It's one thing to get sucked in by a company like Uber who does $50b+ in rides, and think how valuable they could be if they figured out how to earn a meaningful chunk of that pie, but WeWork earns virtually no money, and exists in one of the oldest and most competitive businesses known to man. What is the upside that investors are envisioning?
People still try to sell the most obnoxious expressions of the "gender wage gap" conspiracy theory, something almost as obvious to people with internet as the curvature of the horizon is to people with eyes; with a similar degree of publicly-available refutation.

I would not be so quick to assume a majority of the peddlers don't believe what they're saying. People regularly impose ritualistic deliberate ignorance upon themselves in order to conform or to stand out positively in a social group. People will engage this unpaid labour against this very post, for example.

The Flat-Earth drama is a community now, just like everything, so attempts to humiliate the group only make them more certain that they're on to something.

Different things entirely. She preferred A over B, you are talking about C.

I'm not a professional by a long shot, but I agree with the other commenters who say that half-manual modes (A and S) are very useful in all situations. The video was good, but I don't think he went into enough detail how the 3 settings are related. But first some history...

I took photography in high school when we had Pentax K-1000 manual film SLRs. The ISO was fixed at whatever film you put in, usually 100 or 400. Then you had to set your aperture and shutter speed for the correct exposure. There was a needle (essentially a volt-meter hooked to a photo-diode) in the viewfinder that indicated when the exposure was correct for the film ISO. Typically you would choose a speed or aperture for the scene you wanted, and adjust the other to get the exposure needle correct. To be honest, it was annoying and fiddly, because if you chose the speed wrong, you'd have to take your eyes off the viewfinder to set the dial. But it was really good for understanding how the 3 settings were related.

What I found much more convenient were cameras that had the half-auto aperture-priority mode where you manually set the aperture, and the camera sets the speed. As explained in the video, having aperture-priority means you are actively choosing the depth-of-field and you can change it for each shot if you want. You can increase the depth of field to make everything sharp, or you can reduce the depth of field to put bokeh in the foreground or background. For example, if I'm in the mountains and see pretty flowers in the foreground, I can quickly take 3 shots, one with the mountains in focus, one with the flowers in focus, and one with both--to see which is the best.

Shutter-priority is similar, where the shutter speed you choose determines the motion blur. For example, if you're shooting your kid on a bike, you can choose a high speed to make everything frozen, or you could choose a low speed and follow the subject to give a background motion blur--and you can take both shots within a second of each other.

As the other commenters say, this is what has carried over into DSLRs and can be really useful. Once you learn the trade-offs and choose A or S mode, you have a lot of control over the image. The inner ring of the lens usually controls the aperture in aperture-priority mode, so you have exposure control on your left hand holding the barrel of the lens. And with auto-ISO, the camera will increase the ISO so you can still shoot at 1/60 indoors to avoid motion blur. You never have to take your eyes off the viewfinder while adjusting the exposure and you have a lot of control over the outcome of the photo. With practice, the hand motions become automatic, and you can make split-second changes to capture a beautiful shot of that fleeting moment.

Inflation is size of economy / money supply.

Printing more money doesn't inexorably produce inflation, for a lot of reasons. If the money printed is used unwisely, in ways that do not grow the economy, then it certainly does.
I feel like a very strong effect could be had if popular creators move their content to other providers. While they might not be able to take down a huge percentage of all recent videos on YouTube, they could redirect the attention of enough users to have a very strong impact on YouTube's ad revenue.

Say someone is a die-hard fan of Pewdiepie--he's the reason that user opens YouTube on a daily basis. This user watches his daily video, but might also watch some news and music from their recommendations after the video ends. If Pewdiepie moves his content somewhere else, that user might not end up viewing that related content on YouTube anymore.

I'm really interested to see how these shared groups of fans cooperate with union efforts. Given how close of a connection many popular creators have with their fans, a call for a boycott could impact a lot more than just those creators.
Class Action against Apple for storing data AWS, Azure and Google [pdf]
Great stuff!

I've been thinking about a way to solve the exact same problem on and off for a long time (I'm terrible at proactively keeping in touch with friends).

My original solution was the same as yours, but it quickly broke down for me because I just couldn't get all of the data (in particular when I last talked to someone) into the app. I imagine you'll face the same challenge.

Two approaches have worked well for me though...

1. a dumb version of Dex. Basically just a list of friends/acquaintances and a periodic reminder (weekly, monthly, quarterly) to make sure I'd been in touch

2. a weekly prompt to reach out to anyone who fits a certain set of criteria. For example, "send a message to the last person you met at a networking event" or "reach out to the contact you'd be most likely to recommend for a marketing role"

Weirdly, the latter version has been way better for me at maintaining and growing relationships outside of my closest circle of friends. Especially on the professional side of things.

If you want to chat more about my experience or the problem in general, my email is in my profile and I find this super interesting :)

Good luck!

I've gotten my last two jobs through LinkedIn (and likely otherwise wouldn't even know about the companies). Yes, the signal/noise ratio is very very EXTREMELY low, but the variance (all on the upside, there's really no downside to LinkedIn) is well worth it.

(To clarify: this weren't just "last two jobs in the past 4 months while I was job hopping aggressively", but rather, 1 job that allowed me to from a low-income country to a high-income country, and another where I've significantly progressed in the past 4 years and have no intention of leaving it anytime soon as I expect the progress to continue.)

When you finally fire (or force out by constructive dismissal) the last person stopping you from driving off the cliff, those precious seconds of freefall are not quite long enough to formulate a viable cliff-bottom recovery plan.
As a note, although simplified merges far more characters than traditional, it also splits some characters that are merged in traditional. For example, 乾 in traditional is split into either 乾 (qian2 one of the hexagrams) or 干 (gan1 dry) in simplified.

Regardless, the number of simplified characters for which the merger of traditional characters happens is small, even more so compared to the number of Chinese characters you see on a day-to-day basis. On top of that, the vast majority of these mergers involve one character that in traditional Chinese is archaic and very rarely seen or are considered obscure variant characters of the same word in traditional Chinese. I can only think of maybe a dozen or so examples that show up in Chinese you're likely to read on a day-to-day basis. Even fewer if what you're reading doesn't have a lot to do with ancient China. That's why I say it's essentially a one-to-one correspondence.

I do hear your argument often from other Chinese speakers to support why reading traditional characters if you only know simplified characters is easier than reading simplified characters if you only know traditional characters so maybe there's something to it.
Could we please get paper bags back by default in stores again? Ban the plastic checkout bags.

I can see having a fee for 'luxury' versions of the bags (EG handles) or for an oversized bag (compared to small single items)...

However I'm pretty sure the stores loose more on the bulk of credit card transactions than they do on the item bagging fees.
This advancement is especially promising because access to Delamanid (a drug similar to Pretomanid) is very difficult for patients in many countries. The company that developed Delamanid, Otsuka Pharmaceutical, has been extremely restrictive in allowing access to it.

I know someone critically ill who was petitioning Otsuka for access to Delamanid under compassionate use, but Otsuka would only agree to give access if the patient stayed in a hospital for 4-6 months. This is just a crafty way for pharma companies to refuse access since they know the cost of months of hospital stay is not affordable or practical. Luckily in this instance, TB Alliance and others fought with Otsuka to get this patient access to the drug.

In many high-need countries (India/Africa/China etc), desperate doctors frequently just lie to Otsuka about the patient staying in the hospital in order to get access to the drug.

Opening access to Pretomanid is a great advancement!
Yes, not all conspiracy theories are just theories. It's relatively easy to disprove something like flat earth by getting on an airplane, but something like Epstein required time to collect evidence, make arrests, etc.

This is the first time I have ever seen an early stage company include Saint Louis in anything, so, thanks for that ;-).

That said, you say your market is:

"Lofty AI is best for people who are: 1. Thinking of buying their first home, but are nervous about losing money. 2. Looking for higher returns than normal by buying properties in an appreciating neighborhood early."

1. I wonder if people who know they have to sell in the next three years, but don't want to sell today (e.g. a work move) are also a target market. If I know my job is going to move me in 2 years, I might like to use your service to retain 80% of the upside, but insure against downside when I sell.

2. I once read a book about real-estate investing, which said that the real way you make money is to buy rental properties with poor cash flow, 'fixup' the tenants to improve the cash flow, and then sell, repeatedly. I wonder if your appreciation-potential-evaluation/downside-insurance model applied to rental properties for sale, combined with coaching/tools for aspiring landlords, might be attractive.

It seems like right now, you are primarily using the purchaser as a source of capital, and other comments are saying "why don't you just raise the money yourself?", but if you were also using the purchaser as more like a franchisee, someone who is actively working to improve the cashflow of the property by upgrading the tenants with your (automated) advice, that might create a more interesting relationship where you have more room to add value (its more complex to analyze multi-tenant rentals, its more complex to choose high-potential landlord partners, etc).

Random thoughts. It's a very interesting idea, very original.

"Lost". It did not lose in term of being a better social experience. People after pale fame and instant gratification left to chase the "i wanna be famous", Total Drama Island style, but this has nothing to do with socially or morally better.

You're right, I was wrong about how to expect a "Disallow: /" to work. But isn't it sorta odd to have a protocol to control crawling (which is usually done to index) but (almost) require a compliant indexer to crawl all pages to comply with the indexing rules?

In this example the robots.txt has clearly told all bots to not crawl this site, but the only way to read the meta tag (or equivalent header) is to crawl the site. So I assume that in this case google either assumes that it is fine to crawl URL's that it has found elsewhere while ignoring the robots.txt or it assumes that pages disallowed by robots.txt are "open for indexing/linking", which would mean that any page both disallowed by robots.txt and which has a noindex meta tag would still show up, right?

What is the intended behavior if a page is disallowed by robots.txt and still linked by another indexed page? Will it get crawled or just assumed to be okay for indexing/linking? Is there any way to tell Google not to index/link and not to crawl?
I don't quite understand what you're trying to say. Could you elaborate?

For instance, in Washington DC there is certainly a pipeline from public to private to high level to lobbying to etc., but I think what the +parent posters is referring to encompasses the scientists at the EPA and the USDA, the doctors and nurses and managers at the VA, etc etc. They tend to get a job there after a bit of moving around and then stay 40 years. There is no trading out to private sector -- they generally get a gov't job because of a combined desire for altruism and good benefits and stability -- and the vast majority would never even be offered, much less accept, a lobbying position.

The European public, yes. However European scientists support the scientific consensus, per the definition of a consensus.

> In 2013, the European Academies Science Advisory Council (EASAC) asked the EU to allow the development of agricultural GM technologies to enable more sustainable agriculture, by employing fewer land, water and nutrient resources. EASAC also criticizes the EU's "timeconsuming and expensive regulatory framework" and said that the EU had fallen behind in the adoption of GM technologies.

Just to be clear, I am not opposed to the idea of creators banding together to negotiate collectively in order to get better terms from YouTube - I think if they can build a coalition powerful enough to accomplish this it'd be a good thing and I'd say more power to them!

My point is that YouTube does not employ creators, they offer a free service to creators without any guarantees. I'm also pointing out that YouTube does not want to demonetize videos because demonetizing a video costs YouTube money (they host and stream the video for free, but get no revenue in return) and any changes to YouTube's business operations that would reduce the amount of videos that get demonetized would very obviously benefit YouTube.

> if you're contracted to do a job, the client doesn't usually arbitrarily change the rates it's paying you unless you have some contractual agreement to do so(overtime, paid leave, etc.).

YouTube is not contracting creators to do a job, creators are uploading their content to YouTube at no cost to them, and in exchange, YouTube offers a cut of the ad revenue to the creators if YouTube can successfully monetize the video. Whenever a video is demonetized YouTube loses.
Given that the clip is listed as methods to put out such fires, listed in order of effectiveness, most effective first, yes of course they list other methods, but as you can see they consider water most effective, halon + water for cooling less effective, and halon alone barely effective (the fire restarts).
