The cool thing about AR is you can think of any single app and it could be a killer app people would pay for.

Imagine eye glasses that allowed you to just "zoom in" by clicking your fingers. Or glasses that seamlessly translate written text into your native language. Or highlighted the path you should take whilst walking to work using GPS navigation. Any of those alone would be compelling products, the cool thing is these are just possible "apps" for an AR device.
“medical conditions can make you fat.”

Medical conditions don’t cause mass to appear from nowhere that goes against the laws of physics. Yes medical conditions can cause your metabolism to slow down - decreasing calories out.

Isn't consensus essentially a majority agreement, and thus not a complete agreement?

Furthermore, a consensus today does not need to hold up indefinitely.
It is unfortunate that the page is so mealy. There is a lot of good science going on around the topic.

For a while there had been a sort of consensus around the notion of "neutral posture", the joints held at about the middle of their range. By examination of extant animals that was shown to be absurd; hardly any animal maintains anything like such a posture, not even those you might expect to, like alligators. It is much more common for one or more joints to be "at the stop". From owls to rabbits, a deeply S-curved neck is the norm.

Another folly was sticking bones together to see how far they could bend between stops. That both under-and overestimated flex range. Under, because thick cartilage in joints often separated bones, providing more room; and overestimated, ignoring limits on extension of connective tissue.

Things would have been better if biologists used the notions of "least upper bound" and "greatest lower bound" on numbers, and sought to successively narrow them, as physicists do. But they're biologists.

Notions about practicality of extremes of blood pressure have been hard to investigate, because no living animal has any need for anything close to what they would have needed. It would not be unreasonable to hypothesize two-chambered helper hearts in the neck, but no evidence of any such thing has been interpreted from fossils, and it would be quite a novelty, so risky for a working paleontologist to suggest.
Last weekend I set a deadlift personal best of 405lbs. I am pretty happy as I was stuck at 385 for the longest time.

My next goal is to drop 45 lbs and get to a deadlift of 500, so that I can lift twice my weight.

You realize $7 an hour is $95,000 a year in 2019 cash? If i were offered that for hangover quality work burning rods at a good union job i would not think twice. id be able to afford the median home price in 1970 which was $23,000. These numbers seem to support the idea of the wealthy welder. Its entirely possible fossilized republicans are thinking in 1970 dollars.

Fast forward to 2019. auto mechanics START at just shy of 22,000 a year and thats assuming you keep track of your time and work for a shop that doesnt engage in the rampant practice of wage theft. master mechanic? depends, maybe $28 an hour in 2019? but nowhere near the $46 an hour a twice convicted tombstone welder made back when the Love Boat sailed.

The problem is not trade, or college, its the seemingly endless wealth gap between people who do work, and people who just seem to collect mansions and yachts.
Exactly that moralistic viewpoint powers the nonsense I'm talking about. I think it's creepy that faceless actors are using a child to push a message, but she is a focal point for Good Morals.

The official narrative is that she is a precocious lone wolf climate crusader social prodigy, which is useful to the entrenched activists handling her because it saves them all the work of scientifically refuting climate deniers; now they can be simply painted as bullies. But because she is a moral icon, even pointing out the institutional backing behind her viral status is a form of heresy.

>it's plain to see that football itself has nothing to do with education, except insofar as it's an activity that many students enjoy

I disagree with this. I was a college athlete. I firmly believe that being an athlete teaches you more about being a leader, a teammate and having discipline than almost anything else. Those are extremely desirable skills to have in any work place. I do think any team based activity can build the same skills if there's a common goal to be achieved. College athletes just have the guarantee that they've been doing it for multiple years.

Football players get picked on all the time because of a lot incorrect stereotypes about the people that do it. Not all football players are idiots. Look up John Urschel.

Specifically, I think the giveaway was the 4-bit condition codes at the beginning of ARM instructions. The code for always executing an instruction is 0b1110, and seeing almost all 32-bit words start with the same non-zero nibble is rather distinctive.
Anecdotal, but I'm well past 30, and I notice a marked improvement in cognition when I have a small, high-protein breakfast. Granted, I'm on a portion-control, no-processed-food diet the rest of the day too, so I'm rarely ever consuming more than I need.
Does high G actually cause a higher or lower blood pressure at heart level? (search engines fail to give an answer) I think the problem there is blood packing to the lower body, and a sauropod would have enough blood and strong enough veins to be able to hold its head upright.

It's not really obvious to me why the sauropod heart->head->heart loop shouldn't be considered as a "siphon". For all the blood that's going up there should be an equal amount of blood going down.

It's well possible that Magnus and Anand and cohort are having the lifestyles of active sportsmen with nutritionists and physical trainers and all that good stuff, while amphetamins or at least Provigil is rampant among middling players breaking into the middle ranks.

I've been in a 52-versus-one simultaneous (offline) game with a Champion (not a Grand Champion). I'm mediocre at chess, but can you imagine the kind of skills you need to beat 52 mediocre-to-interested-amateur players? At Magnus's level stimulants possibly no longer work -- much like amphetamines wouldn't help me pass a calculus exam; probably even set me back.
This is one of the biggest problems with news currently.

Big breaking story about US politics? New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post all have important articles about it. You find them linked in Google News, reddit, Hacker News, and Facebook. And they're all behind paywalls.

But if you get your "news" from Fox News, Infowars, or even farther extreme sites like Stormfront.... it's free and instantly accessible. This causes some serious problems.

Bit of advice I've found that the easiest way to introduce a new technology is to use it on something that is isolated and not totally critical first.
> College football is not a quality product

The multi-billions of dollars spent on it begs to differ. Just because they aren't old (are 22 year olds really too young for athletics?) doesn't mean it is a bad product. Many consider it to be a much more exciting game opposed to the 7-3 games the NFL puts out.

I'd rather watch a 49-21 game than a 14-6 snoozefest.

This is really your personal opinion.

Bad Clients: Spot Them Early and Save Your Business
Indeed. The 20th century saw a lot of populations adopt anti-mortality programs before contraception. The population quadrupled in a century. Far more people were born than died!
I often think about whether or emotions towards our children are affected by our evolutionary past, specifically that since your kids had high mortality, you were smart to not get too close. Interestingly Darwin himself is the case study. I happen to have visited his home and I discovered he lost several kids. But it hurt him as much as you'd imagine, according to his diaries.

You also have to wonder if we have a coping mechanism, for the same reason.

The best way to get people to pay you is to preach to your choir, not to say important things. So the deal is more like "Will you pay me $30 a month to let me feed you information that will entrench your current worldview?". This results in articles like "This is the beginning of the end for Trump" being written every month throughout his entire presidency and there is still no end in sight before the election.

> and none of them are "correct".

Presumably whatever palette-entry-to-RGB encoding Nintendo's own emulators (e.g. NES VC, NES Online, the NES classic) use, should be considered at least somewhat "canonical", no?

And I don't mean because Nintendo has any special "auteur" control over what NES games "should" look like (they never expressed such control, since they never shipped a NES with a screen!)

Rather, I mean that the palette maps Nintendo uses in their emulators are probably the same maps Nintendo used, in the other direction, to do the original conversion of the RGB palettes of their PC art-assets, into NES palettes to wire into the hardware. I.e., if Mario's red coveralls in Donkey Kong (a Famicom launch title, so likely ported during hardware development) renders as #800000 on Nintendo's emulators, that's probably the same RGB color that was in the PCX file's palette that informed the tuning of the NTSC rasterizer's output for that particular palette entry.
> This is only true in the first up to 6 months of a calorie-restriction diet. Then, body adjusts its metabolism (lower body temperature, making you feel more lethargic to keep you from exercising, etc) and your weight begins to slowly climb back up, sans any further calorie restriction. At this point, it's easy for a dieter to blame himself of lacking willpower: "it worked, and it stopped working now, I must've been not strict enough!".

> The same thing happens if you force someone to overeat even if they're not hungry. They will gain weight -- for up to 6 months. Then, the body increases its base metabolic rate and adjusts to the new food intake level.

This is pseudoscientific garbage. There is some amount of adaptation that the body experiences in response to a caloric deficit or surplus. It varies by person but is generally not a major effect. A few hundred calories is typical and is largely attributable to changes in NEAT.

This is also not an unbounded effect. It won’t prevent continued weight loss if the starting deficit is greater than the adaptation nor will it prevent continued weight gain if the surplus exceeds the adaptation. The many obese people in the world are proof that the “natural set point” does not place a cap on weight gain.

There is also definitely nothing magic that happens at the 6 month mark and the absurdity of this should be enough to make it clear that this is garbage.

California succeeds despite the regulatory environment.

Hollywood is there because of the great weather and sunshine which allowed filming all year long.

Tech is there because of the defense industry set up there during WWII.

Agriculture is there because of the great weather and soil.

Basically, every advantage California has is the result of its geography and weather. If you remove these three industries, there isn't much of an economy that isn't dependent on the money that these three industries bring into the state.

Self-taught, second profession, 38-years old, after just 1.5 years into my SWE career, lots of hard, deliberate work in an uncharted CI/CD space, and I've landed a role as a Site Reliability Engineer for a major player in the health insurance data domain.

105k base salary, typical benefits package, in a medium-COL US region. This puts me well-ahead of what I thought were already pretty aggressive goals I had set for myself.

The team I'm going to be working with looks like an excellent group of people, pleasant, hard-working, with an engineering-oriented mindset. I'll be working with a great set of technologies/infrastructure, applying interesting, useful techniques, and at a non-trivial scale.

I'm pretty excited to be doing what I'm doing and making good money doing it. Big change from 2 years ago, where I was not excited to be doing what I was doing, and making not great money doing it.

I eventually ran out of steam on it when BandsInTown and others joined the scene, but it was great fun for a while, and I even ended up on lifehacker at some point. Good luck with your venture!

> It's not really obvious to me why the sauropod heart->head->heart loop shouldn't be considered as a "siphon".

Because blood vessels are flexible. Siphoning would be disastrous for the body - capillaries would snap shut under the suction and we'd die.
> Where do you draw the line of what's sporting? I think humanity's cunning is why we have domesticated animals and efficient slaughter houses.

I think it's when I'm having to do the work against the animal to catch it that's sporting. Driving to the grocery store and buying pre-packaged chunks of muscle isn't particularly sporting. It's not really cunning to stick 3000 chickens in a dark room, dump food on the floor periodically, and then vaccuum them all up after X months. It's industrial.

> I'd bet every slaughtered animal had a person watch it die. Or at least see it alive and know they'd be complicit in the slaughter.

This is true, but it's much easier to be complicit in something when it's as impersonal as watching as chickens which are hung from a gantry conveyor slowly make their way past a set of spinning blades which efficiently separate their head from their neck, and you're watching this process for hours a day.

There's a piece of specialty equipment I just learned about recently while pulling on a thread regarding one of my hobbies. It's pretty expensive and I'd probably only need it four times in as many years so I was looking around for other options like rentals or tool libraries. Found nothing.

Then I end up in the DIY section, and for about ten seconds I think I hit paydirt. Then I realize that every. single. video. is by some guy who knows his way around an arc welder. And not like "This video is for people who know how to weld," just, "okay cut these pieces and then you weld em together and then you're done." Like everyone or their brother knows how to weld.

Now I bring this up because clearly there is some subset of people who are saving a great deal of money by making specialty tools out of stock or scrap instead of buying it. I know a bunch of amateur carpenters and a few woodworkers, but didn't think I know any amateur welders.
