Of course that is bizarre.

It is also bizarre to make a claim about "better run" countries where people just walk home instead of other transport methods

Edit: You seem to be having a conversation with yourself and making points that no one is arguing with. Maybe try replying to what people say instead of forming a different argument and then attacking that.
You can lose "true" weight during the day, while still gaining enough weight from food/water to offset the previous night's fasting and weight loss.

In other words, it's not that you don't lose weight until you sleep: it's that you can't differentiate whether you have net lost weight or gained weight until you have similar conditions of measurement.
Part of the magic of VR is the immersion. AR doesn't appeal to me, it seems more of a gimmick.
Actually, there is third option, AuthorizedKeysCommand, which I like the most for small to medium business.

A program, script or any executable, which outputs (prints in stdout) authorized_keys style formatted data. This data can be pulled from any source.

Thus, if public keys are stored in LDAP and script pulls keys for active users only, public key can be easily revoked by disabling corresponding user account.

it's not an assertion then, it's a hypothesis. in any case,
i think you may have misunderstood what i was tring to say: imagine if i'd said: "i've seen evidence that hillary clinton reports to the chinese/korean government. no proof, but still". it says nothing, doesn't mention the evidence i've seen, and yet seems to imply something "wrong".

i'm calling it out, because it it encourages belief without evidence. it's insidious.
In my opinion and experiences lambda's should be the smallest reasonable functionality you can assemble that does only 1 thing well.

Lambda's can interact with databases and most external systems, but you want to keep them short and sweet. They take time to spin up on first run (100ms or so), and can run a maximum of 15 minutes.

Yes you can use threads/processes in Lambda's but usually to me it is a sign you are trying to do too much in a single piece of code, but there are exceptions of course. You can use step functions to coordinate multiple lambda's which is usually the better answer but not always.

And I'd say no, lambda's should not try to serve as a web service API, they can be components of the API but the API should be hosted elsewhere, like AWS API Gateway or your own EC2 instance etc.
This concern is overblown, there are very few buildings with which this happeened. (This doesn't mean the company is viable at all on the long run.)
You're speaking from the perspective of a theaticlastic denomination, so it's hard for you to accept another perspective. You have an idea in your mind and it makes sense to you, but you can't explain it or define it.

You're saying it is because it is. It's that way because it's that way and because I believe something, it proves it is that way.

But my belief could be held by someone in a completely different nation experiencing a completely different life, so you haven't added anything to the discussion.

You can't just say, "You're wrong because you believe what you believe and that proves it."
Not even close to the same. See how Apple resisted the federal government's requests to access the San Bernardino terrorist's phone: https://www.npr.org/series/469827708/the-apple-fbi-debate-ov...

Something like this could never happen in China. Tim Cook would've be in a state prison in a matter of days.
From genealogy it appears to me that before the dawn of antibiotics and vaccines all parents had at least some children die of childhood diseases. The only exceptions I find are cases such as where the woman has two children then dies herself in childbirth or shortly thereafter from complications, and both children eventually grow up. Having no dead children a century ago and beyond seems to have been a very rare experience.
I'd enjoy the tailgate/house party before the game but I'd just stay home at kickoff. We were close enough that we had to make sure the windows were closed otherwise the cheers of the crowd would tip off the next play due to the broadcast delay.
One thing that shocked me was finding out J.S. Bach had 20 children, out of two marriages.

Of these, 4 died during birth, and 6 died within the first five years.

I can't even imagine what losing ten kids would be like, even if you have ten more.
A potential poker analogy is probably just getting lost in leveling games.

Level 0: My opponent made a large bet because he has a strong hand. I should fold.

Level 1: My opponent made a large bet because he knows that I will think it looks like he has a strong hand, when in fact he has a weak hand. I should call.

Level 2: My opponent knows that I think his large bets are bluffs, so he is now making a large bet assuming that I will wrongly assume he is bluffing. I should fold.

Level N: (if N is odd, I should call; if N is even, I should fold)

Beginner players will only think at level 0 or 1, but intermediate/advanced players may sometimes end up "leveling" themselves into a bad decision.

I am learning to ignore any kind of application that has the "in your city" message. Basically it is, "in your city if it happens to be a major metropolis" - which is not where some of us live.
I think that "if" is fairly large, and hasn't been resolved yet. I can also see a future with more and more imaging work being done by not-radiologists or hyphenated ones. I guess we'll see.

Bear in mind that there have been some effective ML approaches in radiology (for certain tasks) for decades now and the radiologists themselves have been among the largest hurdles to getting them into clinical use. How they respond to broader and more powerful incursions into "their" space will probably have a significant effect on what their future role(s) and scope are.

I guess what I'm saying is that we can predict a big growth in the consumption of imaging (and other signal) data by clinicians in the next decades, but it is far less clear if the percentage of that mediate through radiology will remain anywhere near as high as it is now.
There are still a couple of companies that sell 6WD (and 8WD) vehicles like these - Argo is one of them (and that machine up-thread looks like they just strapped some stuff to one of those):

I'd love to have one of those - but they are a bit out of my budget (and my wife would probably divorce me if I brought one home, even if I could afford it).

The statement was scoped to NCAA Division 1 schools, which I imagine all have profitable football programs. However most of those also happen to be top-tier academic and research schools as well (there are of course exceptions), so I'm comfortable scoping the conversation to those schools.

While taxes are a sane and common way for a government to make money, there are countries where there is either no corporate tax at all, or only some industries are taxed. Additionally, there are places where corporations do pay taxes, but personal income is tax free.

Looking far into the future, in a post-scarcity civilization taxes are obviously unnecessary. So, while not a theft, it's not insane to wish for taxes to be gone in one's country.

I used to get this with programming. I still do sometimes but it just isn’t as immersive anymore (probably not enough of a challenge or too many parallel concerns)

Once upon a time video games did it. I’d fire up Empire Total War and 20 minutes later it was getting dark and I felt queasy. Oh wait it’s been 12 hours.

Nowadays I only get that on my motorcycle. Fire up the engine, find an open road, and you don’t even know you’re hungry until you come home 6 hours later and sit down for dinner.
We would have easily a lot of cats dying also in that case (and maybe rodents).

I don't get why blood pressure is relevant for heart energy expenditure. Animal bodies are full of blood, it's not like hearts pump blood up there, they just pump it into movement.

I also can't imagine how that long neck evolved (and stayed there) without a huge competing advantage. The and usual advantage of large necks is feeding high, so I distrust the claim that an animal with a long neck couldn't keep his head up.
I was a competitive chess player as a kid/teenager, and distinctly remember being exhausted, both physically and mentally, after the games.

It was the sort of full exhaustion that I’ve only experienced in sports where rapid strategy-making is deeply important; in hockey, for example. I’ve never gotten the same feeling from a more endurance or strength-based workout, like running or biking. I haven’t done much rock climbing but I imagine it’s akin to chess.
Yeah, sure, or you could spend the same few hundred on classes instructed by someone who works or worked at that job and receive a piece of paper saying you did so.

I could say the same about a BS couldn't I? How was it put in Good Will Hunting? “You wasted $150,000 on an education you coulda got for $1.50 in late fees at the public library.”
There's lots of knockoff console replicas out there, but most of them are software emulation running on the moral equivalent of a Raspberry Pi, and the rest are often quite inaccurate approximations of the original hardware, with many incompatibilities with published games.

Without access to the original designs, hardware emulation is in the same position as software emulation: you need to do a ton of research and development. A company called Analogue[1] makes FPGA recreations of a few classic consoles, but they're pretty expensive, and took a lot of effort to design. In fact, byuu (the author of the OP) was consulted fairly heavily during the design of their SNES reproduction.

Basically, if you have to do a lot of research anyway, you might as well go with the product that has zero marginal production cost (i.e. software) and save yourself a bunch of manufacturing expenses for the same result.

I also doubt it, though it's not quite 2x. The number they cite is "6,000 calories a day", which presumably includes the ~2,000 calories one burns just by staying alive. A marathon runner burns ~2,600 calories on the race itself, totalling ~4,600 for the day. So it's about 1.3x rather than 2x.

The numbers all have very wide error bars, so it puts 1.3 in the range closer to 1 than to 2. Still hard to believe, but I'd consider "comparable to a marathon" far more likely than "twice as much".
>Something special happens during sleep that is unrelated to a general concept of metabolism, but instead a specific process.

Sure a number of your systems are shut down while sleeping that otherwise are active as you are awake, and other become more active.

Just one example is the spike of human growth hormone (typically around 75% of HGH is released during sleep), HGH is directly related to metabolism and weight loss/gain. Also as You probably know actual fat loss (as opposed to water weight) is a function of breathing, as in fat isn't "burned" or you don't sweat out fat, but fat is metabolized a literally breathed out of the body, and during REM sleep breathing is increased.

By no means is this an exhaustive list, but beyond maybe sweating a little more than normal (again water weight not fat loss) while sleeping, any actual weight loss is all a function of hormones/metabolism.
f(x) is O(1) means that there exists x0, M > 0 such that for all x > x0, |f(x)| <= M. Clearly, the statement still holds (for different M) if 1 is replaced by any positive number.

Not sure that is the argument - by my read, they expect to a quantum network as part of the network core. I cannot tell how far out of the core it would extend (definitely not down to individual mobile devices, but perhaps to individual cells?), which would be the determining factor in how much this affects global SIGINT

Cool project, but why engage in language flame war on the project readme:

You're right about 3 balls, but there are pockets in a billiards table and you do get points for pocketing the correct ball.[0]

After many months of working on a product, I finally managed to (soft) launch it a few days ago. It definitely took way longer and turned out to be way harder than I expected it to be (it usually does).

Surprisingly, I really enjoyed working on the static site side of things even though it is dead simple: just good ol' HTML and CSS. No frameworks, no complicated builds, no third party trackers, and almost no JS. As a result, I managed to bring down the page load time to less than 500 ms (3kb when gzipped).

Stallman seems quite "offended" on behalf of Minsky in his original email, so your whole thesis here that he is somehow blind to the moral considerations at play won't hunt.

What is shocking about Stallman's email is he apparently thinks it would absolve Minsky of guilt to simply assume that Virginia Roberts "willingly presented herself" to him for sex. But this is of course nonsense -- it's the exact set of conditions under which sex is forced on many trafficked victims who are handed off by some procurer. And of course no one really believes that Minsky didn't know the score; many try to defend him by saying, "but he was disturbed by her offer and didn't accept it!" That he continued to associate with Epstein after that, rather than immediately leave or offer help to Roberts and Epstein's other victims, says all there is to day about Minsky's character which Stallman feels so compelled to defend.
It's as arbitrary as the age 18.

Not a magic number, just a threshold with consensus.

“... Michelson would run ten or twelve billiards with a touch so delicate that the three balls could always be covered by a hat.”

Michelson was playing billiards on a table without pockets.

I agree that Michelson wasn’t playing 3-cushion because not even Willie Hoppe (best player of that era) had runs 10 or 12 on a daily basis.

Balkline was still popular as an amateur game in the 1920s, so Michelson could have been playing one of the balkline variants rather than straight rail.

Level of difficulty in billiards ...

SEC needs to seriously clamp down on S1 report content.
One of the problems with putting important information behind a paywall is that it creates an informational divide between the Haves and Have Nots. This deepens class friction and helps both further leave behind the lower classes and also potentially foment bloody revolution because they aren't getting the memo about important discoveries because they literally can't afford the memo, so it worsens the differences between the mental models of the upper and lower classes. This goes really bad places.

I don't know what the solution is, but I generally agree with the sentiment, even though as a writer I'm caught in the crossfire here and can't pay my bills because ads are basically dead (and morally/logistically problematic in certain problem spaces) and trying to support writing via other avenues is challenging at best. Most writing pays rather poorly. For every JK Rowling or Stephen King there's an army of underpaid nobodies barely scraping by.

But I'm not willing to paywall my blogs. It wouldn't accomplish anything good to deny access to poor people who can't afford to pay.

We genuinely need to find ways to fund good writing and pay for the costs involved in disseminating information. Local papers are going out of business left and right and it's a real problem.

But it's also a very real problem to create a system where only the people who already have money are allowed to know our latest, greatest hits of information. Among other things, it also means new ideas cannot be effectively challenged by people from diverse backgrounds, which weakens the information ecosystem.

Yep. But if you're going to make binary publishing decisions then you have to draw a line somewhere.
I can think of two things that you might be alluding to, models that have a parameter that is named "the speed of light," but that does not actually correspond to the speed of light, and models that predict phenomena beyond what current experiments have detected. In the first case, anything that is in line with experiment must predict a constant speed of light, even if they do it with non-constant parameters, perhaps even parameters named c. In the second case, sure, but they aren't supported by experiments.

In any case, the speed of light is constant.
