I should have been more specific. I was not referring to a European or Renaissance idea of Liberal Arts, but more the 19th century US version that was used as the basis for a large number of American universities especially in the Northeast. Athletics and fitness played a central part in the educational experience there. Once again, that is why Ivy League schools generally have athletics departments that rank among the largest in the nation in terms of number of participants.
Let's say 30-40% of the population takes the political position that the eye is directly attached to the knee.

Saying that's not true isn't a political position, even if the falsehood it's debunking is one.

Inflation was rampant in the 70s though. He says mid-70s. $7/hr in 1970 would be $95K today, but $7/hr in 1975 would be like $68K. And that seems comparably the high end of pay given in the article.

Optimal Stopping (a.k.a. the Burglar Problem)
Don't get me wrong, I was a varsity student athlete too, but none of that counted towards my major. I think it would be a joke if it had counted as academic work. I went to college to learn and play, separately.
Thank you!

I would define 'parasitic' as anyone who takes up my time, energy, money, or well-being without giving much or anything to my life. I believe reciprocation and symbiosis are important to being healthy, balanced, and connected to nature.

I do my best to give more than expected to all my clients, friends, family, lovers. It's just my nature, I realized some people prey on people like me and it's my job to create boundaries if I am to be happy.
Of course there won't be. Why would you create a minor league football program when you're competing against colleges that have:
1- Long term history with their fans
2- Better proximity to fanbases
3- No labor costs for their players
4- Stadiums and infrastructure already in place.

There is a market for minor league football, and that market is being met by college sports.

Given all the negative public sentiment, my guess is the will work extra hard to get price discovery just right so it won't much at all on IPO day. As we're seeing, that likely means a significant decrease from We's most recent valuation.
First, to state where I am coming from, I am biased: I appreciate Byrne's underdog role of refusing to submit to what he perceived as corruption through Wall Street (hence his Dutch Auction option) as well as uncovering the middlemen roles of front-runners in the stock exchange (among other issues).

So with that in mind, I label this article a type of hit-piece. What I see is a person (Byrne) who has made profitable companies as well as unprofitable ones, and who sets targets on difficult goals.

The political aspects of the whole Butina angle I treat with suspicious "wait until all the cards have finally been revealed" caution, since there seems to be extreme polarity in rhetoric on the political stage today. There have been far too many cases of "what we know that just ain't so" just in the last 10 years I have been paying attention to for me to assume all the facts are in. And when one challenges/attacks powerful figures, I expect there to be much uproar/furor.

He seems to be doing the same thing another successful client of mine has been doing, which is running one company to fund other ventures in other venues. The author's main focus seems to be only on the first business (Overstock), and on the effects the speculation by Byrne is having on it.

And Byrne is also the kind of person I try to be: When I want to learn something, I dig into it fairly deep. Unfortunately, I sometimes get quite angry at the corruption/unfairness of it all that I uncover during those deep dives. But that is another rant for another post.

I am still in a "wait and see" mode. If Byrne's expectations of providing blockchain-based land registries in countries that are suspected of being highly corrupt in regards to property rights are successful, that alone is going to improve many, many lives.

Likewise if the TZero platform can pick up speed cutting out the alleged Settlement middleman (DTCC/Cede, see lawsuit re: Milburg Weiss), the market may be more efficient, well, at least until the next group of people figure out another way to game it.

Small time farmers seem to be a lot more likely to know these sorts of skills, because it allows them to save an obscene amount of money on specialty equipment by modifying something inexpensive to do the job.

That's how/why my grandfather knew how to weld. And all his children. And his grandchildren too. His kids all went to college but also got a big boost from having practical hands-on skills to augment with theory and specialization. One of my uncles got a PhD and then spent most of his career helping grad students fabricate equipment for their field experiments, because hardly any other students or professors knew practical welding/soldering/instrumentation.
You realize that he said the machines were first made in the mid-70s?

If he stopped welding around the time that the Internet was taking off, that would mean that it was $5-7/hour in the early to mid 90s NOT 1970. The "now 20 years later" later in the comment backs this up.

$5-7/hour in the 1990 is $20-30k in 2019 money, which is about what your example mechanic is making.

Yes, but it's become in the past couple years an out dated point in major cities (Boston, Philly, LA) where activist prosecutors attempting to prosecute fewer crimes and hand out lighter sentences are now being stymied by (appointed!) judges.

The problem with focusing on any particular role is that the other parts of the system will step in to force punishment.
No, it's not. Please re-read my post. I said that "the fact check itself" is not political. I did not defend the political bias of the video itself.

You would also do well to actually read the article, especially the screenshot of the fact-check. You'll notice that the fact-check, per my post, simply addresses the facts of the issue and does not make a single political statement.

Edit: You also modified my statement when quoting me, making it more ambiguous than I had written it. Please be sure to quote people accurately in the future.
This might be true in thermodynamic sense but it is a useless and trite statement.

It's like saying "people are in debt because they borrowed money" - true, but banal and trivial, and pretending it's the whole story and saying nothing of medical debt, student loans or living from paycheck to paycheck and payday loans dayloans is only good for feeling better than someone, most likely while pretending that all people in debt are stupid because they buy too many cars and TVs or whatever.

The whole area (both nutrition and debt/poverty) is very complex, especially when looking at whole society. Thinking in simple caricatures, and dismissing people as stupid is helping nobody.

That’s because waste generally doesn’t contain any significant usable calories. If you’re passing undigested food then obviously it starts to matter, as abusers of laxatives know. It’s not typically discussed because it’s not typically a meaningful factor and if it is you should already know.
I remember being struck by the fact that most people had teeth go bad and basically rot in place. If you lived near someone with skills they'd grab it with tongs and rip it out, no anesthesia. And this was probably an almost universal experience (for those that lived long enough)
A number of challenges exist for pass through AR. I’m short the camera system that you need does not exist.

Cameras add latency. This causes nausea.
Camera resolution is low. When the screen is less than 10 cm from your eyes the grain is very noticeable.
Cameras only have limited focal range.
Camera dynamic range is low. I’m many settings it is hard to capture images that your eye could handle.

The USSR had a comparable (corrected: not small as I first wrote) population and a small economy compared to the USA's. Moreover their economy was highly disfunctional.

It's a bit like all the fear mongering about Japan in the 80s. The hard truth is that Japan was way too small to be a threat.

China, on the other hand, is much bigger than the USA. The fact that the USA are currently so much stronger than China is therefore the anomaly in a historical perspective.
Specialty welding can be complicated, but basic utilitarian welding is not. Head out to your local tool store, pick up a cheap MIG machine and some scrap steel, and plunk yourself down in front of YouTube for a couple of hours, and then spend a few hours practicing.

Now, this won't make you good enough to weld on a bridge or an airplane, but you'll definitely be able to stick metal together for doing one-off stuff at home.
When Decca records were part of everyday life
My uneducated take - AR in stationary is almost useless except in a few industrial applications. You want AR to be super mobile ideally. VR with reality piped in is a decent way to get what you can get out of stationary AR, but it’s not quite as useful.

Basically every single thing you buy in a store, is also available, at around 1/10 the price, at these sites.

Objective truth does exist. That abortion is medically necessary in certain cases, including before 24 weeks, is an objective truth. Those wishing for alternatives sometimes will claim that the technology for resolving cases without abortion could exist if we researched it might have a point, but it remains theoretical and therefore, given today's technology, abortion is sometimes medically required. The rest of it might be politics, but that doesn't mean we have to ignore objective facts.
However forcing someone to carry a baby to term is also morally problematic. Even non-life-threatening births carry risks of bodily harm.
No, the children were able to understand how if you rotate a piece of paper by half a turn, all of the points end up the same distance from the axis of rotation, but the opposite direction from where they started.

All of the stuff about exponential functions and angle measures and “imaginary” numbers just obfuscates the core idea.
Check your "bus factor".

I'm part of a small team, and my bus factor is one for some tasks (purchasing hardware for example). I make sure that won't be necessary if I'm to be away for three weeks. For most tasks the factor is >1.

This wasn't the case when I took the job, but by improving documentation, automation (DevOps) and sharing work, there are far fewer tasks that only "Fred" knows how to do.

I take some short and some longer breaks, over the year perhaps one holiday of three weeks, one of two weeks, and three of 2-3 days.

The original problem is to "generate a list of random tweets, without duplication". So lists are most assuredly allowed, and the implied constraints on the output size are in play. Using those to solve the problem under an assumption that the output size is much smaller than the input is therefore fair game.

I think one of us might be pretty naive...
Gut contents were almost irrelevant in my tests. Logically I think this comes down to dehyrdated food weighs very, very little. So in general the weight of food is mostly from water. Therefore, gut contents don't contribute much to weight.

Hydration wasn't the issue, because I weighed myself consistently at regular intervals. And "true weight" (if that is right term) is supposed to be based on morning weight. Well I could compare morning, noon, even and night weight across all days for a month. So I could tell when I weighed at any particular time.

In my experiment I always was my lowest weight in the morning. The normal explanation is "because you pee'd and were dehydrated." Well, then if I stay up all night, don't drink anything extra, and pee in the morning as usual, then I should weigh the same as when I slept?

But that is not what happened. I didn't lose weight. Then i went to sleep, woke, urinated, and then I had lost the expected .5 pounds that afternoon instead.

Again, I only ate one meal a day (at the end of the day, 5pm, so this did not effect the sleep pattern), and I tested for water intake/urination.

I lost on average .5 lbs a day, and that day I didn't lose that weight until after sleeping until the afternoon.

I seem to have stirred up a hornets nest by making this claim, but I was careful about my testing, and it's not a crazy notion.
> and we've done the experiments.

I accept the findings of those experiments, such as [1]. But if you are a crank, you can always come up with conspiracy theories which claim "The Experiment X" back in the 1930s disprove it but is suppressed by the establishment. I used to read those posts as entertainment, but I stopped since then, as it stopped being fun after a month or so.

> But if you travel into the weeds, a constant speed of light is not the only way to arrive at those predictions

I think many major subjects of natural science have a "catch" like this. What is being written in popular science and most textbooks is merely a caricature of the subject, far from the full picture, but is considered "correct enough" to be a useful mental model (or physical model) for public consumption. For a simple example, an electric circuit is inherently an electromagnetic phenomenon, yet the fairy tale of "the flow of electron" is commonly used, it's an incomplete and flawed model even at DC. We use it because most people, myself included, are incapable of thinking the physical picture of vector calculus and solve PDE mentally, let alone Quantum Field Theory, not to mention the "truth" is only sometimes relevant and useful.

Thus, if someone wants to engage in denialism or create FUD, one could just write something that is largely relevant but out-of-context, and say "you are being fooled, everything you know is wrong"! I suspect many pseudoscientific subjects, like the anti-vax movement or crank physics, frequency use this technique (or fell into it).

Also, I once saw a LessWrong post that hypothesized: engineers are more likely to become cranks - because they are knowledgeable enough to spot a flaw in a physical model commonly used in the industry, and realize they are being fooled by thinking critically, but often they are completely unaware of the underlying history or context of the physics. I don't have data, but I definitely have seen something like this. I once saw a website by an RF engineer that claims GR is false, and built his own version using the ideas from antenna theory...

>I suppose there are more transgenders every year.

What's your basis for believing this?

>Are killings of transgenders actually going higher when we compensate for that?

If n trans people are killed one year and > n trans people are killed another year, the number of trans people killed has gone up, regardless of the size of the population itself (which, for reasons stated in the article, can't be accurately measured anyway.)
> Undecidability requires infinities.

As does the Turing machine itself, or any other turing complete computation model for that matter.

Heck, even the study of computational complexity forces you to accept some arbitrarily large value of n, which implies any fixed finite storage capacity is unacceptably small.

Modern programming does a pretty good job at approximating infinite memory (by using the cloud as a data store)
Did you read the article? The fact check has nothing to do with being a morality arbiter. They simply provided the facts as they pertain to the claims. It's up to the viewer to take that information and process how they feel about it from there.
You should check the details of what the UPU treaty imposes on the US. I haven't checked, but as they say, it's cheaper to ship from China to US than it is from within the US, and that can't possibly be fair, nor desirable for any reason (including eco-friendliness).
8 murders in 42 years for something as hotbutton as abortion? Wow...given how the msm constantly carries on about this stuff you'd think prolifers were flying planes into abortion clinics every other day. Every so often I see stories of people murdered because they didn't want an abortion, why not keep a running tally of that? How does that stack up against the 60 million deaths since 73 for the other side? How many of those have been for babies that had fully developed nervous systems are are biologically indistinguishable from babies that are already born? Wanna bet its higher than 8?

I work in VR and my personal theory is the version you outline above is the long term model for immersive computing. Most people I talk to disagree, but as you mention my argument is that in the limit a system which allows full photonic control will be the final mechanic. Incidentally it’ll maybe happen sooner anyway, since viable VR pass through tech is arguably software gated today on a platform like the Quest. The chicken and egg problem is who is a) going to get it working well and b) have the guts to start wearing a eye covering headset for more and more % of their day. It may be a long iteration cycle and transparent AR may rule the day for a few generations until the world is used to the idea first.

I think football players tend very often to take academic programs relating to communication/journalism, education, or PE/exercise science/etc., and there are certainly some transferable skills from college football itself, along with such programs, to sports journalism, coaching/athletic training, and teaching in secondary school PE programs.

This video is absurd. The headline on the video "Abortion is never medically necessary", but then goes on to state that "removal of an ectopic pregnancy" doesn't count because it's not an abortion. Umm, OK. She's really just defined all of the "medically necessary abortions" as not abortions.
