Not a single mention in this thread of a gaiwan.

It's stunning how there's an ancient, effective, wasteless, flavorless, attractive and elegant alternative to tea bags that western culture simply has no clue about. The Chinese and other asian cultures have been using it for thousands of years. (Or at least since the Ming dynasty, and far earlier if you include the "tea bowl" precursors.)

There is zero need for a tea bag when you have such a simple, elegant, and effective ceramic dish in which to steep tea.

That and the fact that tea bag tea is virtually synonymous with ignorance of the full range of quality that exists in the world of tea, as far I can tell. The good teas from around the world just do not come in tea bags, and routinely when I share them with friends who think tea comes in tea bags, they are blown away.
"When the technology matures, according to Mowry, the wholesale price for fusion fuel is expected to be around $50-60 per megawatt-hour"

I think it's telling that the most optimistic scenario they can come up with is "someday it might be competitive with fossil fuels if you consider the cost of fuel only".

The thing is, if fission is uncompetitive in the long run because of capital costs, can you, with a straight face, claim that fusion will be better, even in 50 years?

Edit: Of course, making fossil fuel more expensive would change the calculus. But my point is, since that is a prerequisite to addressing climate change anyway, we shouldn't be talking about fusion as a particular alternative.

That's not really surprising, is it?

Any minimally functional group eventually lead to opportunities.

The outgroup (women in this case) want to access those opportunities. Any push back against that will be labeled as misogynistic or ridiculed.

Men have no other choices than to open up the group and let it become just another open space for everyone.

What is surprising is how some groups:
1) just lay down and accept this unilateral loss...
2) even when it is never reciprocated.
Why? Because I wouldn't want to join a team that makes decisions for no reason.

That would be a completely valid answer to the question. The fact that they didn't answer the question at all is the problem here, not that they chose PHP.
Saving Old Bones: a non-destructive method for bone collagen prescreening
I don't think it is about appearance. It is about dialogue and communication. If you want to really talk about things that affect you and your life, these things will quite often be topics you struggle to openly speak about.

I talk about topics that are so hard to talk about that people lie to themselves about it. Things that you don't want to be real are things you try to hide and emotions that don't fit your role in society are part of this.

Becoming vulnerable is the price you have to pay to talk about these kind of topics. And if it happens that you look weak as a side effect you have to pull through it. But this is not about looks, this is about beeing able to interface with the world around you and exposing your true self is the price you have to pay for meaningful conversation.

Yep, same thing. Listen to yourself. You expect me to believe a) there's an objective measurement of a well defined term "political polarization" and it has also been happening for more than 100 years or b) US liberals made up some totally arbitrary subjective standard, applied their bias to it, and came out with "Thanks Donald."

You simply can't see it because of personal bias.
I disagree, maybe those women appreciate authentic emotions among friends, but at least while on the dating scene, authenticity NEVER won me any points, and quite to the contrary, the stoic/mysterious man always won out.
> Free market doesn't work when refusing to pay for the product costs you in health or even life.

The free market works great to provide food.
I need a Mac where I can replace the harddrive when it fails after 18 months like Mac drives always do, and also I'd like a bay to put a decent optical drive and not the low quality Apple SuperDrive which they finally gave up on, and add a card so I can have more than 1 USB port which is ridiculous.

And it should cost around $500, not $12,000.

$500 with what I request is certainly available on the PC side of things and I have that and run Linux on it and have transitioned everything I can off Apple because they can't produce the desktop that I need. I've put Mac versions of my products on bug fix only status and when customers ask me when the new version comes out I tell them never and advise them to try Linux.
The Business of Electric Vehicles
Practically everything about the health care system makes it the opposite of a free market. Patients often lack the domain knowledge to know what care they need, or what it should cost; even when they do, they often have few choices of where to get it (due to geography and/or insurance restrictions), or no choice at all (if they're receiving emergency care, or if their care requirements change while they are hospitalized). All of this adds up to a marketplace where "customers" are largely forced to pay whatever they are charged, and have very little choice in the matter.
Fear of expression doesn't necessarily lead to an exhibit of that fear. The impression of security is enough.

While the US is passing more and more stupid laws banning consensual sex between adults, many countries in Europe and South America have legalized prostitution and bettered the lives of sex workers. I'm sure that won't happen in the puritanical, impractical US but it's something to think about for when the idiots in charge here get replaced by slightly less idiotic idiots who actually want to help people rather than pretend like they're on the moral high ground while doing the same things they outlaw for others.

The "free market" doesn't really exist. It is an ideal, and an ill defined one at best. What does exists are mechanisms. A law that forces prices to be visible is a mechanism that is likely to increase economic efficiency at little cost. In absence of a rent-seeking doctor's guild, it would not be needed, true, but it is certainly better than nothing.
Wonderful, let's see these economic leeches burn their assets struggling to keep their do-nothing positions secure.
> I feel bad for those people who Paychecks got stolen

Per the article, Cachet Financial Services ended up holding the bag. They tried reversing a bunch of payroll account payments, but ultimately relented. Presumably some of that money will eventually be recovered.

> I don't know why anyone would think they could get away with a fraud this large.

Given the M.O., it's likely that this started small (as most fraud does). He cheated once with a float to cover a shortfall, then started making larger and larger bets. And eventually he lost a bet too large to cover, and had to try cheating in a different and more dangerous way with money in the payroll account, and got caught.

Food is simple. Practically everyone understands what food is, knows where and when they can get it, and (usually) has plenty of choices of where to eat.

All of these things are untrue of health care.
We also have high turnover so maintaining direct deposit info doesn't make sense either. It ends up being around $10/mo per employee for a low-end payroll service which includes direct deposit/year end taxes/forms/etc.
I once got a surprise bill from in-network ER because they invited a specialist for consultation, That specialist sent me a separate bill later.

No one told me upfront it will cost additional $450 to hear from the specialist that "sometimes kids are having stomach pain for no any reason".

Edit: Additional information - Blue Shield CA HMO, Cedars-Sinai ER , circa 2012. $150 ER co-pay, later $10,000 bill fully paid by insurance + $450 specialist bill not covered by insurance.
> the question of "over charging" is a difficult one to answer

Not really. Just disclose the price up front. Prior to the procedure. The problem with these billing practices is the consumer has zero clue what they'll be billed by whom ex ante.
You had me at "angering doctors." If that was all the law did it would still be worth it.
My experience with this was trying to get my dad, who basically doesn't use his phone, to a cheaper phone plan. He was on Verizon and paying $60 a month but usually keeps his phone off. He didn't want to move to a different provider, so I looked at what cheaper options Verizon had and they offer a $35/month "Small" plan (this plan still is listed on their plans page but trying to "get started" with it sends you to a page to purchase a smartphone). We went in to the store and said we'd like to switch him to the small plan. She says, oh you're already on the small plan. But then why are we paying $60 a month? Oh, that's the $20/month line access fee, plus taxes, 911 fees, etc. But what the hell is a line access fee and how is that not just what the $35/month would be for? The sad thing is I wouldn't have even blinked if it had been just a few dollars a month even though that shouldn't be OK either.

I later got him to switch to PagePlus for under $30/month, but only after his phone broke. The line access fee is, admittedly, marked in small text beneath the actual price on their current website.

You can work hard by "banging your head against the door" every minute. That doesn't mean it was the right work. When you say you worked hard or I said I did, there is no context or absolute scale to see what we meant.
I disagree that deciding to stretch the 737 is fundamentally bad engineering. Yes, it realistically requires some control augmentation (and maybe earlier 737's should really have had something like MCAS, too). Yes, bigger engines and heavier 737's have the problem worse, but it isn't unreasonable to fix this with systems.

I think there were failures across the board. The fundamental analysis of MCAS was flawed: it was much less reliable than was thought, and failures of it provided a much more difficult situation for pilots than anticipated.

I suspect the analysis boiled down to "MCAS provides a little defense against getting the nose excessively high on departure; it shouldn't be necessary so no big deal if it fails. And the worst failure we can think of is like stabilator trim runaway, which everyone knows how to deal with."

This was compounded by the fact that many developing countries do not require pilots to demonstrate they can deal with runaway trim as part of a checkride and recurring training.

Not disclosing information about the system made the problem even worse-- and this is harder to attribute purely to being part of bad initial analysis.

I do not understand some of the aircrew actions, even in retrospect. If I am fighting pulling the yoke back-- I am going to have my finger on the trim switch to try and get rid of those control forces, even before I am thinking about the problem. This would have inhibited MCAS and retrimmed the plane. I think that Boeing assumed that this would happen. I am lazy and would rather not have to tug the yoke so I use trim a lot. :P
This amuses me as I'm familiar with the quality and price of hospital food - both sold to visitors and given to patients. The food given to patients is nearly always of a decent quality since making people sicker really doesn't help, but it usually isn't nutritionally great and it's always over priced - for visitors the food is even more overpriced and the production of it is usually farmed out to a random restaurant in the area that can cater for it so quality will vary wildly.

And just you try to find some competition in terms of food suppliers while you're in a hospital - it's the cafeteria or nothing.

It's an interesting question if they'd be at risk for microplastics as well.
It’s only “unknown” from a scientific skepticism perspective. The scientist is saying, “all the evidence that we can gather points with ubiquity towards this being plastic, but there is some possibility that there is an as yet undiscovered particle that is otherwise elusive to detection.” That just being a good scientist. The mark of a scientist that you should not trust is the one who says, “we know this to be true with absolute certainty” instead of “all of the evidence I’ve gathered leads me to personally believe with absolutely certainty, but there could be something else going on I haven’t considered.”
Probably not. I grew up during Clinton’s “welfare to work” and continuing Reagan’s deregulation and trimming federal employment rolls. I always thought it was ridiculous that Republicans called Democrats “socialists.” Now when you have the crowd boo-ing candidates for saying socialism isn’t the answer, I’m not sure Republicans are wrong about what Democrats want. Maybe it was just the shadow of Reagan and Newt Gingrich that kept things on the rails for a couple of cycles.
It's actually probably worse, because if you get caught at the beginning you might stop. If you don't get caught at the beginning you can make things a lot worse.
> men are not imperfect women that would be improved if we adopted the other genders mannerisms.

Divulging one's emotional state is not a "[female] mannerism". It is a basic, androgynous function of all social beings. It's endlessly frustrating to have my faculties gendered away from me.
Honestly, let's go a step further - make those procedure prices publicly listed so that third parties can easily aggregate those list and let people find cheap care - then, finally, there will be market pressure to actually provide competitive services.
Many years ago, I read the biography of a sex worker whose previous work had somehow been in politics, I think related to organizing and running political campaigns. After she voluntarily chose to become a sex worker in her late twenties, she turned her political background towards sex work.

She was against regulation. She concluded that regulation never protected sex workers and it generally made their lives worse, not better.

She was for decriminalizing it, a term that gets interpreted very differently by different people. If I recall correctly, she simply wanted no law or regulation that made selling sexual services illegal.

Is it known to be (or else what is) a minimum number of such operators for Turing completeness?

I ended the post thinking that was the more interesting question, but now that I comment, I wonder if that's even meaningful without restricting what it means to be an 'operator' - 6 and 9 from the OP are quite convoluted for example.

"In first world countries" probably covers it, if slightly risqué.
The article describe in a very descriptive way how people who claim that they want to protect sex workers do not actually have that intent.

My own theory is that people that genuine want to protect workers for exploitation usually end up working on general labor rights.

Contrarily, it seems that many execs "fail upwards" or at least fail into the exact same level, bouncing around C-suites and board positions regardless of the success of their companies.

Additionally - the term "golden parachute" exists for a reason. Many comp packages are structured so the execs are exiting with multi millions regardless of how the company does.

Except, in the first case the underlying casual issue to Republicans separating children from their parents is their hatred and racism of asylum seeking immigrants.

But it’s a little bit different. Women tend to pick up on subtleties during conversation, which can immediately change their emotional state. I’d argue women are more emotionally labile. And often they will not divulge their true emotional state, IME. Men tend to be more direct.
IIRC the PlayStation VR helmet has a lot of onboard processing to help it generate two high-framerate screens. I’m not too up on its specs as I am really not at a place in my life where I’m willing to dedicate a room to VR and spend the cost of another console on the thing.

Really though I feel that the response of any console manufacturer to “hey let’s bring back the 32x” would be “do you know how much money that thing lost Sega”. Just update the specs a bit and sell a “Pro” or “Plus” model for the same cost as the original launch cost, and sell the old design for less.

You can get external FireWire boxes to cram graphics cards in for your computer; my general impression of the market is that “serious gamers” who “need” 120fps are pouring lots of money into Windows machines with pricey graphics cards.

They don't actually - some doctors are great but others are pretty bad actors that will bemoan the pricing publicly while advocating for higher prices privately. In our healthcare system no element is innocent of driving up those prices.

Also, next time you're in your doctor's office ask if they accept medicaid or medicare - a lot don't because they end up with less take home for such patients.
