Of course we can, but wolves are good cleaning it in wild mammals, and cattle is routinely watched for suspicious symptoms currently. TB is a common acronym for human tuberculosis. Here TB means the disease caused by Bovine Tuberculosis, a different organism that makes just for a small part of the cases in humans, does not necessarily develop symptoms or adverse effects and can remain indetectable on carriers for a indefinite amount of time.

Fishermen have also their own mycobacteriosis. Is interesting that picking tuberculosis by fishes is impossible because the organism in this case can't stand our inner temperature. They cause a totally different set of symptoms on humans

Precedent is against you, however: you cannot claim to be a different person under current common law. To overrule the existing precedent, you would need a new law, which is what I said.

> Courts will most certainly consider the genuity of the consent a person gave 10 years prior to being foribly confined and made to labor for another.

In the hypothetical, we've already agreed that the consent given was genuine. The question isn't whether or not the consent was genuine, the answer to that is a resounding "yes". The question is "is the person now, 10 years later, a different person such that their prior genuine consent no longer applies"? This question can be rephrased as "Is there a way to re-invent myself as a new legal being and avoid prior obligations and agreements at no consequence to myself?" They are in fact the same question. And courts time and time again have resoundingly answered that question with a no. A group that consistently tries to argue otherwise is freemen of the land. Hence me throwing you in with them, because you're using their (nonsense) arguments. Thankfully we've seen them try those arguments in court before, and they never win.

> I'm suggesting the argument would be accepted by a court, and you've provided no reason to believe it wouldn't.

Let me just repeat that last bit: these arguments have been tried, by the freemen of the land whose comparison you so resent. They never win. Courts have tested and failed these arguments because they are bad arguments.
Congratulations: You, along with most of the people here, have no fucking clue what Capitalism is. Capitalism is when the person who put up the capital gets ROI plus the surplus wealth created by the workers, and the workers themselves get a small fraction of said surplus called a wage minus any say over reinvestment of surplus. The alternative does not have to be a state system of communism at all.

The football programs are mostly non-profits, same with the NCAA. So no, profit, at least for the major programs, is not a concern. The programs receive millions from multiple sources that are spent on staff, coaches and other sports that need to be spent (Universities are not supposed to be profit making institutions). While the athletes that are generating the revenue through their performance every Saturday are paid with scholarships and money for room and board (can't be more than $60k or $70k a year - assumption here). Works out great for the coaches and administrators, not so great for the athletes. It is also not in the NCAA, college administrators, boosters or coaches interest to have the current setup change. Why mess with a good thing. No competition for player salaries leaves more in the coffers to pay the coaches.
Touch screens are made for consumption, rich interfaces (with tactile feedback, like keyboards, mice, etc.) are made for creation. Most people just consume on their digital devices. Therefore, touch screens are enough. It's as simple as that. People who want rich interfaces are in a minority but I don't think rich interfaces ever go away because someone has to create all the stuff for digital devices.

As if there are not other industries that benefit from meat being deemed unhealthy by science?

Non-expert perspective on this: I find it very difficult to believe that there is such a thing as too much meat (and easy to believe that too much bad quality meat is the root of the problem as commonly discussed), given that most preagricultural environments lacked sufficient carbohydrate density to support anything other than a ketogenic diet for most people most of the time.
Tons of college students compete in the Olympics in sports that they play during college. It's not a huge stretch that the IOC could be considered being a de facto authority of intercollegiate athletics. E.g. I would also consider the IOC as having de facto authority over WADA, even though it's theoretically a separate entity.

AG Barr asked foreign officials to aid inquiry into CIA, FBI activities in 2016
Not sure. I'm in my 20's and have done well enough in industry (programming) and with side projects to not have to worry about making money any more. Now that basic needs are met, the question is how to spend my time in the ways that are the most interesting to me.

As just someone with some business savvy and programming skills, I could go work as a staff engineer somewhere—but that probably won't be that interesting or impactful. If I go work at FAANG I'll probably work on ads or tweaking existing systems—a cog in the wheel.

So the idea of going back to school to try for a PhD in some interesting field is now something I'm considering seriously. I graduated from college 5 years ago and I remember thinking about how badly I wanted to stop studying and start making money in the 'real world'. Funny how retrospectively I can see how that was all subliminally motivated by finances; and now that such pressure has subsided, life is much more about fields of interest and purposeful work.

The question is then, will a PhD always lead to meaningful work, or am I digging myself into a hole, and I don't really know the answer to that.

Conversely while times are good startups are willing to pay premium for short term leases, either to expand quickly if times stay good or to go back to some garage if times get tough. The business model is essentialy similar to an insurance, they make money by taking on other people's risks.

Of course WeWork doesn't operate financially like this. The business model is sound in principle, but WeWork's execution seems ill conceived (except for the personal enrichment of the CEO).
That’s true. I’m still a student and haven’t really shipped a large ML project. Most of my ETL is done using scrapers, manual Pandas transformations, and storage in flat files. But yeah, I see your point, and frankly I don’t think there’s too big of a user base around these specialized features. Not to mention that some can be, erm, difficult to use. A friend tried using the YouTube-8M dataset in TFRecords format for a project and was extremely annoyed at the complexity.

So bear in mind the study was done before SpaceX did much. The $0.09/kWh and $16/watt on page 83 assume $500/kg launch cost. I wouldn't suggest SPS except in a scenario where SpaceX achieves the goals that Musk laid out Saturday night: $50/kg launch and total launch capacity thousands of times higher than the world has now, within the next several years. That kind of capability drastically advances the possible schedule, and drops the cost quite a bit too.

Meanwhile, the comparable cost from solar is the total required for dispatchable power 24/7, not just the cost of PV alone.
Ideas to Improve Flowchart Editing
One thing I think that people should be more aware of is that nutrition advice that has a small significance in large studies might be recommended for the general population by health officials, but could be something that is actually bad for you personally. It will be great if we can get a better understanding of nutrition for individual people based on their own genetics, body weight, lifestyle, etc.
I see. Fair enough. It's definitely something I know can work but like most things it does take work and sometimes it's not worth the trade in effort for the capabilities one might gain otherwise.

Badfun errors are a great example of something tricky if you're not used to thinking about how the compiler translates these to private functions via lambda lifting. It's the same reason funs are not something you should rush to pass around over a disterl cluster. Recursive functions which keep fun's around in a loop also become a problem if they're long lived.

I usually point out that first class modules or MFA tuples are more idiomatic in Erlang than opaque first class functions as values but we're off into the weeds here. It's a good example of where effort and gotchas become a barrier for many.
For those not clicking through on the paper (it came up in discussion in one of my metabolomics groups the other day) the paper you cited shows that (previously unknown) that there would be microbiome adaptations that could mitigate previously theorized issues with meat consumption: "We found that a Neu5Gc-rich diet induces changes in the gut microbiota, with Bacteroidales and Clostridiales responding the most. ... Additionally, we verified that mouse and human sialidases were able to release Neu5Gc from red meat. The release of Neu5Gc from red meat using bacterial sialidases could reduce the risk of inflammatory diseases associated with red meat consumption, including colorectal cancer and atherosclerosis."

The human microbiome is very diverse and adaptable. It seems to be good at processing just about any evolutionarily available (eg, non ultra-processed) foods you give it: https://www.nature.com/articles/ismej2011212

Bit of context on what they call IMO 2020 regulation.

TLDR: this is regulation that moves us towards a cleaner and more environmentally friendly industry, but it's a small step in a larger effort to make shipping environmentally friendly.

Couple of questions to answer:
1. What is IMO 2020, and what is the intent of the law?
2. How can shipping lines comply? And how is it enforced?
3. How disruptive is this for the industry?
4. Does this help us as a society?

1. IMO 2020 is regulation to reduce the amount of sulphur in the exhaust gasses of all vessels. It's a landmark achievement by an international organization (International Maritime Office) to ensure the world has signed up for this.
2. Shipping lines (and this includes all vessels) can comply in multiple ways (in order of use): 1. Use low sulphur diesel which is much more expensive than what they use now, 2. Install scrubbers (or what this article calls cheat devices) to scrub the sulphur out. There are 2 type of scrubbers: open and closed. The open one is called "cheating device" as it scrubs sulphur from the bunker, but dumps it via an open connector with sea water in sea. The closed one collects the sulphur so it can be safely disposed. It is questionable whether the open devices are net positive on the world, and different studies show different results. 3) use LNG. Most ports have indicated that they will only allow vessels that comply. Some countries, mostly developing nations, have already indicated that compliance is not needed, but all major ports on the East-West trades will comply and therefore it will impact most of cargo flows.
3. This will be very disruptive. There is now all of a sudden too much high sulphur bunker, and too little diesel. Price spread will increase rapidly when we approach January 1st 2020. Cargo will become more expensive. That said, refiners will benefit as well power generation in countries where they don't care about sulphur. Refiners will make more money on low sulphur diesel as diesel prices will go up (more demand), power generators in mostly developing nations will buy the sulphuric bunker to lower their fuel costs.
4. Yes, it does help. It’s a small step towards 2050, which is target for IMO to decarbonize the industry. This is an industry with long and large asset cycles, and change therefore is slow.

So: is the device cheating? No it’s perfectly allowed. Only a smaller share of all vessels will use, and most others will shift to low sulphur diesel. So it should be net positive for the world. This is how we look at it at Flexport.

As someone trying to lose weight, all the conflicting advice out there is so frustrating. Should I eat ‘n’ times a day or just once? Is fasting good, or will it put me in ‘starvation mode’? Why is it that when I was young I didn’t even need to think about my food intake and stayed really, really lean? Do we have a set-point and if so, has mine gone up and am I going to be forever hungry if I want to get back to a sensible weight? Do antidepressants cause weight gain, or don’t they? Is there a way we can measure actual calories-in with a device?

Yes this sounds criminally negligent.
Here is my general related advice for people thinking about a Ph.D. in STEM. In no particular order

- don't go to a program unless you are paid enough for it to at least cover costs. Preferably an ok salary.

- it will likely hurt your lifetime earnings, think about if that matters to you.

- done right, it's probably the most interesting work you will have for it's own sake

- ... but it probably wont' have any broad impact

- absolutely do it if you think you want an academic career

- ... but think about a plan B for when you decide you don't, or they decide you won't

- if you are going because you want a more "interesting" career in industry you usually should have

a) worked in that industry before going and

b) have a precise idea of the degree program, topic(s), and then the jobs you are targeting

- it will be a lot of work, and a lot of fun. Sometimes on the same day but not always. If it isn't both on average you should consider leaving.

- the degree itself isn't going to do much for you in industry unless your area of study overlaps with something in current demand. That's often a bit of a crapshoot when you are looking 5+ years ahead.

- if you are considering going because you can't think of what else to do at the moment, don't.

- some jobs will pass you over because they are worried you will be bored. Sometimes they are right.

- some jobs will pass you over because they are worried you are "too academic". Sometimes they are right - you will have to prove you are practical also. This will take time.

- some jobs will pass you over because they don't value the education or think you didn't gain anything useful from it. They are mostly wrong (but consider if you want to work in that environment).

Like you said: The submarines sunk. The reactors did not blow up. Now think about what happens when one on a container ship actually blows up (e.g. because the ship was attacked to make it blow up), and also consider the different scale of a container ship to a nuclear sub, which of course means you need a different size reactor.
You know you have to eat less. Counting your calories with a food journal is a very successful way to keep yourself accountable for how much you’re eating. Any special diet or strategy is making it more complicated than it is.

The point is that it requires the lexer to count whitespaces.

In practice it is very uniform and can be easily converted to a context-free language as indentation and parenthesis are equivalent.

The typical example is that a context-free language cannot remember numbers so a context-free parser cannot group together indentation levels. In general this tries to match something like (w^n a)* for a fixed n, which is not context free
