That's theoretically true, but wouldn't the fact that fasting is low-risk in healthy populations indicate that the risk is more likely to be low for populations with cancer?

Also, from your example if you're one of the 100, then fasting is in fact advisable.

I understand that purely for legal reasons we can't advise doctors to recommend fasting as a general guideline without gold-plated evidence. However it should be noted that just because the risk has not yet been perfectly quantified does not mean it is entirely unknown.

For my part if I ever contract any sort of cancer, I will never reject a potential treatment on the grounds of "well we know it's low-risk in healthy populations, and given what we know of the biology it seems like there's some potential effectiveness. But we don't have a gold-plated-chocolate-coated mass population double-blind study for your specific cancer yet, so I'd advise against trying it".

Taking minor, well-thought-out risks is the least one should do when fighting for one's life. It's a good thing doctors aren't financial advisors, or they'd tell you to avoid the S&P 500 index fund and stick to your 2% savings account.
Years ago, when I wanted to return a UPS battery, they just gave me the credit amd told me to dispose of it locally (because of hazmat).

Right.

AFAIK, even in China you're not required to do such except perhaps being a Uyghur in Xinjiang...

However, the PRC government is believed to have full access to popular apps like WeChat, among other surveillance tools.

If I were to do it, maybe I'd just ask phone makers to install such tools as system or ring-0 apps. Why would I give the people a chance to choose whether to participate in my mass surveillance scheme?
Honestly, I think Mappable and Iterable are both fine. Are they perfect? Maybe to one or two developers who's past experience precisely matched up. They're "good enough" because the reason we tend to name things the way that we do is because (1) we're trying to help the developer create/learn/form a mental model of the concept we're introducing and (2) we're providing experienced developers with a name that, when context is provided, allows for quick recall of the details of what was learned. A word that is very unusual (Monoid and Monad come to mind in that -- for me -- there wasn't a part of that word that conveyed meaning), might as well be a "magic number". I have to remember the concept, and this odd word that I'm only ever going to see in the context of this concept. That's OK when it's infrequent or when the concept is so far off from anything else that it necessitates a new word (Internet)[0].

Had they chosen the word "Mappable" over "Functor", it would be unimportant that in "language X" a Mappable is a Functor and in "language Y" it's something similar, but not exactly the same. Hell, even distant similarities (like Visitor pattern or Map) are useful. To remember what "map", in JavaScript did, I thought "C# 'Select'", since I had used that more frequently, but I also remembered that "thing X maps to thing Y", or "A map gets me provides a way for me to get from location A to location B". I can explain most of that with the word "map" and they have a quick way to remember it. I don't have an easy way to do that with functor. I don't even have a terribly good way to do that with the word "function".

When I tell my kids to "Open the door" when they knock, I'm referring to the door they knocked on, not the front door, the garage door, or the sliding back patio door. They're all wildly different concepts for "door" but I can refer to each of them as a "door" with either implied (as-in the nearest door to where I'm standing) or by providing additional explicit context (the "back" door is enough for everyone who has visited my home, thus far, to understand that I'm referring to the sliding-glass patio door).

[0] Note that I'm not referring to business names or names for people. They serve different purposes.
I am also really annoyed by how Set and Map's map methods work in Scala (and have argued about it here: https://contributors.scala-lang.org/t/set-map-deduping-and-p...), I actually don't think that for all the shortcomings of the Set map method, it actually violates any of the Functor laws:

1) For all sets s, s.map(identity) == s ==> true

2) For all sets s, functions f and g,
s.map(x => f(g(x)) == s.map(g).map(f) ==> true

On the other hand, Map's map method is much more horrible, and does violate the 2nd functor law where f == g == _.swap :

Map(1 -> 2, 2 -> 2).map(_.swap).map(_.swap) ==> Map(2 -> 2)

Map(1 -> 2, 2 -> 2).map(_.swap.swap) ==> Map(1 -> 2, 2 -> 2)

Further, it behaves differently depending on if it is known to be a Map at compile-time, or if it is only known to be an Iterable[(K, V)], due to overloading:

Map(1 -> 2, 2 -> 2).map(_.swap) ==> Map(2 -> 2)

(Map(1 -> 2, 2 -> 2): Iterable[(Int, Int)]).map(_.swap) ==> List(2 -> 1, 2 -> 2)
HI’m doing exactly the same now using the M50, and (no surprise) it has the same problems!

I’ve found that libusb has some useful tools for working around this kind of problem. There is a useful CLI tool for resetting individual ports on some hubs (https://github.com/mvp/uhubctl) which makes good use of this feature. May not fix everything but works for most use cases.

Public transit and dense development can reduce the necessity of renting a car or hiring a cab when you arrive in another city, but that's not where the energy goes in long distance travel.

Without high speed rail, reducing air travel just puts more cars on the interstates.
Spacecraft engineering is inherently conservative because of reliability concerns, you can't take a tow truck and mechanic in orbit to fix things when it turns out that you didn't understand the latest technology quite as well as you thought.

Space isn't the place to push technical boundaries, also because of orbital littering.
Brandon Sanderson’s fantasy series The Stormlight Archive features a society where writing is considered a feminine art. Most men do not have the ability to read or write. Sanderson explores the consequences of this in that women are used exclusively for long distance communication and books. The women often write notes in the margins that are meant just for other women to understand the context of the text, but aren’t spoken aloud to men.
This is a diversion to the point being made.

Facebook is a very different site, and could be lazy loading anything, and do you know the mouse move was causal? was there a window.setTimeout initiating it?. Facebook is not a site i'd expect to use on a low bandwidth connection, or if I did I'd use a low bandwidth version if possible (like Gmail has a HTML only version).
Does anyone have good technical resources on how mesh networks work?

Yep, Samsung (at least their TVs) have terrible quality control and they blame everything as within spec.

Similar issue to you, went through 4 TVs then got a refund. A friend had the same TV and those bright corners developed after a couple of years. Luckily Australia has great consumer laws and he got a refund and got a Sony TV.

Firstly,the debris will destroy everything in LEO, maybe including ISS, then debit in a few months.

Secondly, some of the debris will probably end up in higher orbit and stay there for a long time, just like was the case with India and China ASAT tests.

The long term solution would be to establish some form of property rights over particular orbits. Then, to use a particular orbit, one must pay the market rate for it.
It's such an inspirational story to read about, even though a lot of people died.

This was one of the strongest proof points that crew resource management really worked. It was the final nail in the coffin for forces that resisted or only reluctantly adopted CRM. It's clear that it took a whole lot of teamwork to get that plane down.

Aviation is much safer than it was in the 80's, and the lessons learned from relative successes like the Sioux City crash can be thanked for it.

Agreed. Otherwise it undermines the point of having controls.

If the random feature adjusted the settings then it might be a bit more acceptable but leaving them the same whilst drawing a dramatically different face breaks their "control" nature.

Once random is off, it's great fun!
If your data store is behind an API you modify the API. You’re often using a different database for your OLAP and OLTP anyway.

However _your_ (infected) machine is causing havoc to other machines and infrastructure. The Police would have a right to, say, disable a burglar alarm that doesn't stop after a day, etc. It's the same sort of thing.
Remember that the failure we complain about on the 'MAX was an effort to improve margin on the design (to make over-rotation and nose rising on climb a lot less sporty on a heavier aircraft)... that was completely screwed up by both Boeing and regulators.

Mistakes will be made; automation in the name of safety has killed people and will continue to kill people. But overall automation and resource management in the cockpit have conspired to make aviation incredibly safe compared to the past.

Yea I only rebase on branches I’m certain I’m the only one working on.

Although having two people working on the same branch can be a pain anyways.

At that point I’d probably advocate creating a trunk for the N people to work off.

But that of course requires a bit of upkeep as people have to keep it up to date with master.
Nearly all of these don't really look like the hacks I was imagining; this is mostly just interior decorating (like putting a lot of mirrors on a wall) and putting your shoes under a dresser.
I think that's a little pedantic. The wormable properties are the vulnerabilities the malware is exploiting. The vulnerability and malware could both be considered to have wormable properties.
OP here, I haven't actually, but just looked it up and it looks like it talks more about test prep than the type of learning I talk about. Most of my coding skills come from self-learning things online the way I talked about it, at my own pace, without exams to reinforce that.

However, for test prep, through school and college I have read and tried a lot of guides on learning including simple index cards, the Leitner System (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leitner_system), coming up with mnemonics, transcribing content from a source medium to some other medium, the Feynman technique, etc.

What I learnt about myself was that any technique involving writing didn't work for me. I would never go back to read something I wrote. I hated writing. I often walked into lectures without a notebook and just listened instead. Don't memorize. Listen. Understand. I have friends who were brilliant "test takers" - which to me meant they could quickly memorize a lot just before an exam. That's something I'm bad at, so I took tests primarily based on what I'd understood over lectures, or follow up discussions I had with professors or classmates.

This also means I wouldn't practice math questions or work out physics problems before a test - I'd sorta just read over solved problems and make sure I understood them.

In retrospect, I actually think this isn't a great way to study for an exam and I always got very nervous just before a test because I feel grossly underprepared, but I saw passing them as a formality and usually just worked on other things I found fun (for instance, I built CSS Peek during finals week of sophomore year).
Charging businesses to use it would be a path to monetization, hence WhatsApp's partnership with Twilio.
Are you doing the undergrad or graduate program and do you live in the Cambridge area?

I am in the graduate program and agree that it has been excellent so far (about halfway done). In my most recent course I ended up presenting my final project at a well-known conference and have been working with the professor on another research project over the summer. Despite being in my mid-40s I am now considering a doctoral degree.

I think it shows that you are not a "lesser" student that snuck in the back door, you are a Harvard student with the same potential and ability to achieve if you work hard and want to make the most of the experience.

If someone can undercut you so easily then your products are overpriced. I would not say this is "not so great for commercial businesses" just because the GPL does not make an effort to prop up phony business models.
You can already get from San Francisco to Chicago in 2.5 days, and from Chicago to New York in 1 day. The scenery is great, the sleepers are comfortable, and the food is decent.

Assuming two week-long vacations, though, you'd easily spend more than half the time in transit.
I agree 1000%. I'd even donate money to support an initiative to fight this bullshit. Valid questions downvoted, interesting questions with very useful and highly-upvoted answers closed and deleted (thanks to my karma I can see them an I'm amazed) for stupid reasons. I never donwvote anything but spam and offence, I don't care about what do the rules say when reason says the opposite and I usually upvote just to oppose downvotes.
I find the idea interesting, but is there some kind of open-source alternative that would be available on F-Droid?

This would be extremely useful since you can share your F-Droid archive over bluetooth, and that would also allow the app to be distributed the same way.

One less way for the authorities to block the app from being acquired.
Unfortunately, I do not have a recommendation.

I learned everything about learning by reviewing my notes. I take notes in a condense and highly abstract format that is quick to write, yet simultaneously gives something close to a one-to-one map of my mind. This way when I review I can learn better ways to study.

How I learned my technique:

I do Data Science / Data Analytics. When it comes to programming a Data Scientist can get by not knowing how to write a function. Many are horrid coders, and that's okay because they specialize in research and analytics, not writing code. However, if a DS' day to day is writing code, and it's the most painful part of the day, then would my life be better if I knew how to program flawlessly?

In response to this question I took a job as a Software Engineer for a while, doing hard core C++14 at the time. (The company gave me the hardest project they had to incentivize me to go back to doing DS for them.) I had learned C many years ago but when it came to C++ I struggled with making a class. I struggled at knowing what the difference between a copy and a move was. I struggled with multiple inheritance. I struggled with smart pointers. I even struggled with reference collapsing rules. It was painful!

In response, I developed the learning technique mentioned above, and decided to learn C++ at an accelerated rate. I learned over 250 concepts in less than a half a year, while being productive in a code base, and not just 250 concepts, but I learned the etymology of every concept. I learned how, why, and when to use them. I became a master at C++ and now it is my favorite language. C++ was a great use of this learning technique, because when I learned something it would come up again maybe weeks or months later. I wanted to know C++ so well I never had to google for anything ever again.

Long story short, C++ is a great candidate for meta-learning. That's how I learned what I know.

Also, the article mentions how subjects cross domains. This is a key aspect of my learning too. Inspired by Hofstadter, isomorphisms between domains has been a hobby of mine too, and I find both Data Science and Discrete Mathematics to be useful when it comes to the study of intelligence and the study of communication. I highly recommend doing the same. It's not only fun, but it can change your life.

At a very high level, through BMI and direct brain to brain communication it will be possible to solve incredibly complex problems and create an exponential acceleration in human evolution.

I’ve used libgphoto2 for a few years now and have contributed some as well, but have been frustrated by the slow performance for tethered shooting due to legacy code since it was originally designed as more of a file browser. The vast camera support of libgphoto2 is hard to beat, though.

That said, I’ve been building a pure JavaScript replacement for it. It’s still a work in progress, but for changing settings, live view and capture, it performs significantly better and now supports many Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji, Panasonic and Olympus cameras. I’m going with an open-source/commercial license model for it, and once it’s further along will package it better. For now, you can check it out in this subfolder: https://github.com/timelapseplus/VIEW/blob/master/camera/ptp... (api.js is the one to require)
Microsoft has done the same in the past, takeover a botnet and the feds went to a judge to get approval to disable it on the infected machines.

It sounds silly in a way but legally seems like a good process.
Yes, this is a good thing, as long as it's done carefully and is fully limited to running a bot uninstall command. Most bot malware comes with uninstall commands built-in. This kind of thing has been done for decades.

I travel a lot, internationally at times. SMS just works.

Maybe it has to do with hardware and carrier. I use Verizon, or whatever cheap plan I get on a SIM card.

When I make mistakes, I even get SMS over major flyover cities. Like I pull my phone out, and several emails and texts came through.
Yah. The thing is, long-period oscillation modes (phugoid, etc) exist in aircraft but are so readily controlled by pilots with conventional controls that they mostly don't matter from a certification standpoint (and would be difficult to avoid, anyways).

But jet engines are slow enough that any significant control of 10-30s period oscillations with engine thrust alone would be a real, real challenge.
That's gonna be a no from me dawg

Well I don't know how France works but in the US, no the government doesn't need to authorize this. The police are required to follow the law just like everybody else. A judge could grant some sort of ex-parte legal judgement making an action legal. The police here just said "yeah we don't care." The article says the prosecutors gave the go ahead, my guess is that they said "Yeah we got all the evidence we need, shut her down" and that's what happened.
