In The Netherlands, we had a non-binding referendum on this [1] (complete with misinformation, or downright propaganda, on TV). The vote against had a minor but significant win on the for. Result? 1) The law got active a few months later 2) A few minor changes were applied 3) The right for a non-binding referendum got removed from The Netherlands, citing we should either have a binding referendum or none at all.

Is it? Compelling your dev staff to be at their desk by a certain time is
more about reminding them who's boss than productivity.

Business has a vocabulary all to itself and understanding it and what things truly means is important, e.g. understanding what EBITDA is and how you can directly affect it this quarter to help meet a goal. But, whether it is around accounting, contract terms, vendor management, people issues or marketing there is a unique language that keeps businesses running. I've been around CTO's in the past that would complain they felt excluded at the executive level but also readily admit they didn't understand what the CEO/CFO or other execs were really saying in meetings.

CTO's/CIO's in the past have had a hard time getting a seat at the "adult" table, being typically seen as just a tech person and not a "real" executive. The importance of CTO's is no longer in doubt but people filling the role do themselves and everyone else a huge disservice if they don't become business intelligent.

Hopefully that helps, if not let me know I'll try to elaborate more or maybe differently.
I think this article actually agrees with you. The very first NOTE is this:

"""
Note: Be cautious about using data that was primarily created for insurance purposes. Often, it's not truly reflective of patient's condition but rather encompassing for billing / profit. Luckily, there are clinical reports, like radiology, diagnostic imaging, pathology reports, etc., that are intended for physician use and are more reflective of true patient conditions. Unfortunately, most of this data is not readily available in APIs because it's largely unstructured. This is a ripe space for ML to take raw, unstructured data and produce structured, computable data.

Another Mac refugee to Linux here. I first installed a minimal Debian install, and you begin running into lots of things along these lines: https://cravencode.com/post/essentials/enable-tap-to-click-i...

And you need to configure i3br/polybar, amongst lots of other things.

I ended up on Regolith mostly to see how someone else who’s used i3 for a while sets things up. I’ve found I like it pretty well. It’s a nice middle ground. I may sometime go back to building my desktop from the bottom up, but Regolith has been a good way to get a working i3 setup to build from.

It’s also a very fast way to have i3 setup and use for a week to see if you like it. If you do, then you can build what you like. But if you start from building first, your initial time investment will be much greater.
> This is a bad necessary condition for considering something a currency.

On the contrary!

'Money' is just IOU notes. What gives these IOU notes value is that governments use them for paying welfare and civil servant salaries, and in turn take them back when collecting taxes.

> So, hypothetically, if someone founded a microstate which allowed paying taxes in Bitcoin, then it would become a currency?

Yes. But with a caveat: the wealth of a government's welfare/civil servant class and the threat of its tax collectors is what gives currency value. The blockchain here is entirely superfluous, this hypothetical currency would be just as valuable regardless of whether a cryptocurrency scheme is used.
Sorry, pressed for time. But I don't think missing an unsourced comment from earlier in the thread and asking a question about it deserves that kind of response.

I asked the question hoping to learn something, and I did. So thanks for that, if not for the attitude.
At 6000 km away the gravity at the nearest surface of earth is zero.

1 minute (at 50km/sec) later it would be 3000 km the acceleration 4.5G or so.

1.5 minutes later it would 1500 km away the acceleration would be 17G or higher.

2 minutes later it would be on the surface, and everything ripped up (including buildings, soil, bedrock, crust, and the magma below would go from being accelerated up at incredible velocities to an even more intense acceleration down.

Over that 2 minutes the black hole is going to chew the hell out of the earth for 1000s of km in all directions and that's just the start of the fun.

As it hits the surface everything within 1000km will be experiencing 40G. The pressure waves will go from negative (as the black hole pulls the atmosphere away from the earth) to a HUGE over pressure as magma, bedrock, and water get slammed back down into the earth at 40G. Said over pressure wave of intense heat and pressure will expand outward from the point of impact and create problems world wide.

Worse on the opposite side it will just take a large chunk with it (approximately the volume of which the black hole has significantly more than 1G of gravity) which could easily take a continent with it, or say most of the pacific ocean.

I could see ocean levels and air pressure lowering significantly. After all why would the air stick around a 1G planet instead of a more than 1G black hole?

The area from which the air is removed is likely to be somewhere around 12,000 km wide (the area of which the black hole applies more than 1G).

So I'm not sure I believe the "barely enough time to move" thing when for minutes the accelerations will be crazy.

What's fascinating to me about this is that it sounds like future renderers may end up working very much like we think the brain does. There is a virtual world, but very little raw data about that world is used directly, just a small sample, and the rest of the image is filled in by a neural model that is able to infer how the whole scene should look based its a priori understanding of how things like light and depth work.
>If you want to improve your dating prospects, get in shape. Anyone can get in shape, doesn't matter how rich or successful or handsome your face is.

Yes to both of these. Dating or not these are vital in life.
In the age of information - disinformation is a potent weapon. I would be remiss if powerful entities including states and corporations did not use it.
I actually mean even harsher restrictions than just some same-origin. Specifically, I mean using already-existing mechanics to figure out whether the global object is reachable by the WASM code. If so, treat as unsafe-eval for all I care. If not, treat as risky as the functionality exposed to the WASM code (testing reachability for other objects/functions that are not the global object itself).

Those sorts of power faults can burn out traces on the circuit board too (you can bypass the break sometimes), and often there are fuses that would n need changing (in my very limited experience).

If it is 80% male, that would mean that the women generally simply matched available males and then were done with it all.

There is no way to achieve monogamous one-to-one pairing for everyone in place that is 80% male. Of course only minority of men succeeds. And while here it is not exactly 1-to-1, it is not actually all that much far off.
Yes, but still: how much of the fiber makes the milk "ultraprocessed"? 10% in weight? 1%? One part in a million?

I remember people in infosec and *NIX communities being paranoid about the NSA back in the early '00s. Americans who were not trusting their own government. I myself only heard about the CIA and FBI. I familiarized myself with the concept of NSA and shrugged it off. "Never hear anything about those. Probably a very small organization..."

In hindsight, I was right, but I didn't get with the program after 9/11 (see the accounts of William Binney [1] and Edward Snowden's recently Permanent Record).

Using dummy numbers. But, lets say you need to be going 100mph to escape the suns gravity. The Earth is moving around the sun at 75mph. So you only need to speed up 25mph to leave.

But to fall to the sun, you need to slow down 75mph. And speeding up and slowing down in space take the same amount of energy.
>If you want to improve your dating prospects, get in shape. Anyone can get in shape, doesn't matter how rich or successful or handsome your face is.

That's exactly the problem: men have to get in shape to get women who are way below their looks. And that's all. Men see this as unjust. Whether this is unjust or not is a matter of opinion which you may or may not agree on, but it's an opinion nonetheless.

Also with 5 and 6 you seem to be dismissing the need to be loved as a healthy person?

It is usually easier to get over an addiction by replacing it with something else. So go for a run or take a cold shower.

Another thing that's helpful is to identify when you have your strong moments and capitalize on those to do more preventative measures. You posting this was one of your strong moments, for example. Make it easier by removing the possibility of accessing porn; if you are an alcoholic, get the liquor out of the house. People have already recommended some good solutions - I'd even go as far as to access your router and put a block on your computer's IP address. (Wife might notice if you put a blanket parental policy on everything) But do these changes when you are feeling strong so it will make it easier when you feel weak/low on willpower.

Sam Harris has an pretty good intro to mindfulness. It's a lot easier to deal with any addiction when you can make that little tiny voice louder. The way addiction thrives is when we lie to ourselves. The harder that is to do, the more resistant we are to addiction. Good luck!

Yes and no. The "tool" here is the internet, effectively the most immediate form of mass communication we've ever known.

The ease and efficacy of swaying opinion via this tool incites agents to utilize it more and more often. It has wider reach than, say, propaganda in film or distributed leaflets.

No, the low supply of doctors is caused by the AMA, which keeps the number of accredited medical schools low. In the 90s, they were instrumental in getting Congress to pass laws that cap the number of residencies permitted per year. Medicare pays much of residents' salaries, and the law stipulates a maximum number it will pay for, a number that was fixed in 1997, and only changed once, in 1999 (and then only for teaching hospitals in rural areas).

The US population has grown by around 25% since then, but we're still getting the same number of new practicing doctors per year that we got over 20 years ago. Doctors are overworked because we have a shortage, not for any reason inherent to their profession.

Twelve key metrics to understand the state of the world
Shouldn't we use better notation for the time complexity of the algorithms? For example, an algorithm can have

O(n^2) + rt * O(n)

time complexity (where rt is the round trip time). Of course this expression collapses to O(n^2), but by writing it like above you can more clearly see where the cost comes from.

EDIT: on second thought, perhaps bring the rt under the O() together with n.

I know a handful of people who benefited a lot from Bitcoin by just speculating with it. They got wealthy, some even rich and now they have much better living standards. That group fits into the niche that were quite well "served" by Bitcoin.

Yes, but they will be very very very … very very very tiny, and we will not be able to detect them with LIGO+Virgo.

I'm not sure if the formula to estimate the energy we receive from the waves is (Mass1+Mass2) * SomeConstant / distance^2 or it is Mass1 * Mass2 * SomeConstant / distance^2. I'm assuming that it is the first formula. If the second one is the correct one, you must add more "very" in my first paragraph.

Because in reality it probably applies to both genders. Is it easier for women to stand out if you're actually interested?

Standing out in a group of hundreds or thousands of people (as with tinder) is always hard, dating doesn't have anything to do with that.
Everything generates gravitational waves. They're just far too small to detect unless the masses involved are enormous.
But in what order? If it is just by time stamp that will give you a lot of noise to wade through.

Use an app like talon if you want twitter ordered by time.
Any form of acceleration generates gravitational waves. The point is how strong they are. Two black holes sized ~200km (or ~30 solar masses) merging at distance ~10000km would be detected through an interferometer by a shift in one part in 1000, that is a change of ~2mm. Those are objects many order of magnitudes more massive than asteroids. So you will get gravitational waves but you wouldn't be able to detect them similar to not being able to detect the waves responsible for the orbit decay of planets.
I don't think so. It was about a product release by an apple-like corp that was a small personal hole that you could use as a garbage bin.

Hi Dustin, thanks for the response. Unfortunately this was nearly a decade ago on Ubuntu server 10.04, and I'm sure that a lot has changed since then.

While some of your (quite sanctimonious) comment is spot on and hits on a legitimate attitude problem, I do want to point out that the “women go for only the top 20% of men” figure has some data supporting it,

- https://web.archive.org/web/20170330131859/https://theblog.o...

If you imagine the way males assign attractiveness to females and vice versa like economic gini distribution graphs, the way attractiveness is distributed from women to men (among that cohort of OKCupid users) is extremely unequal, outside of any semblance of an equitable distribution, and significantly different from how men distribute attractiveness to women.

It is alarming and disturbing for men and women that online dating cultivates such an unrealistic standard of attractivess defined by women.

I don’t put as much stock into aspects of this around messaging, because women have to deal with incredible amounts of spam and abusive messaging and really any signal they might use (like skewed attractiveness ratings) to cut down message volume is something I can sympathize with.

But it doesn’t matter your political leanings, opinions of gender discourse, etc. You say,

> “Stop blaming women -- they pursue the most attractive males just like you pursue the most attractive women, it's normal.”

but I’m sorry, you’re just putting your head in the sand about real data that has an inconvenient matter of fact which disputes at least some popular types of progressive narratives about this.

(And also, nobody is “blaming” women about it — interesting how you got there. You can’t fault women for pursuing self-interest and setting it up as a winner take all game among men, given that the fraudulent activity of the app companies allows women this opportunity by keeping men of all parts of the attractiveness distribution around through false hope of fraud messaging.

If men got clear signals from using the apps, then men in the bottom 80% of attractiveness distribution would leave, women would stop getting the same message volume, and then women would experience the reverse supply & demand problem, gradually realizing that unless they also are in the top attractiveness quantiles, there is no supply for them among just 20% of men, and then things could possibly equilibrate to a realistic supply & demand situation with both men and women from all quantiles of attractiveness ... but this all hinges on the app companies not being able to monetize on the forsaken bottom 80% of men via carrot and stick fraud tactics).
>If someone is determined and willing, there really is nothing you can do to stop them from breaking into your house.

Yes and no. If someone desperately wants to rob you, and precisely you, then yeah they will most likely be able to break in. However that doesn't mean we should make it easy for them. The longer it takes to bypass my lock and security, the more noise they make, the more destruction they leave behind the more likely it is that someone will notice them and call the cops. The more likely it is that they leave something behind that can be used to trace them, etc.

The bigger reason to get quality locks is that criminals often target places with weak security, because hitting those location is easy. A burglar for example will usually case out a location they're targeting to figure out what they need to bring for the actual burglarly. Now if I have SuperArmorMax extra secure lock that takes the burglar an hour to bypass with power tools, but my neighbor has an aluminum smartlock that can be bypassed in 5 seconds with a regular drill, which do you think the burglar will target?

Sure they could also break windows, or try other more destructive entry methods, but those are much louder and rouse more suspoicions from other people. You want to be quick and minimize the time you spend doing something shady.

And again, you shouldn't make things easy just because a determined attacker can get through it, at least make them work for it.
This is one of the most flamebait comments I’ve seen in this board, so I’ve flagged it. You’re putting words in a lot of people’s mouths and assuming a lot of things about large swaths of this forum (that we all have terrible social skills/are out of shape/etc) based on comments about the business practices of dating apps. You seemed to know this by making a throwaway account, but next time why not just not comment at all?

I agree that this is the expected behavior of government. Governments are run by people after all and reflect their own strengths and deficiencies.

I think it’s always a bad thing though. Modern governments are so powerful, their actions impact millions. I like your point that each generation has a myth about “being the chosen people”. I think we stand to make the same mistakes as our ancestors, it’s just the impact of those mistakes are now widespread.
The truth is that dating apps are pure trash preying on the most basic human emotions. Go out, meet people in real life, it's not hard and it's way more rewarding. They don't even hide it anymore, they're hookup apps, not dating apps. Their whole business model is milking people looking for hookups, as soon as you settle down you're not a customer.

If your dating experience is endlessly swiping on tinder and going to dates every 3 days (which is what I'm witnessing in my circles) no wonder you never settle, the grass is always greener on the next swipe.
Yes, I didn't mean to imply otherwise. Bitcoin is obviously traceable by design, but I've seen claims this traceability is unbreakable, even by mixers or roundtrips to other currencies, which just sounds like FUD and nonsense to me.
