Yeah that was it. Reviewing the initial article posted here, it's a different line of research then I was thinking. However it looks like the success rate is still only 60% (when testing on rabbits). The Wiley article on the grant (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/trf.15427) leaves clues that it's still derived from blood at some point and not entirely artificial.

Still very interesting to see that we are making progress towards creating fully artificial, non-type specific blood that anyone can use in a time of need.

Being locked up at work without compensation. I guess the Constitution's "involuntary servitude" wording was meant for other contexts (actual 24/7 slavery), but this still seems like a basic human rights violation. But maybe the US Supreme Court doesn't view itself as a human rights court, so I don't know. That's why I asked.
"They don't want to "pay" for someone else's healthcare. They don't get that they already are."

Curiosity, because you seem to have first hand experience and I do not- what happens when you present that they already are paying for peoples' healthcare?
Incorrect motion estimation data (e.g. datamoshing), Gibbs effect ringing, seams that come from JPEG-style macroblocks are all noticeable artifacts, along with noise from tape decks. They might not have started the genre, but they're certainly part of it now. I see nothing major to correct.
1. They should get paid for that time, too.

2. The article says "the screening takes around 25 minutes to complete", which is not typical in retail.

What use is knowing what 20 other people are doing today? Are you interacting with all of them? Interesting to know what projects they're working on, but I can be told that once a month if I haven't already got that while chatting to them at the coffee machine. A 20 person meeting for each to speak for a few seconds is to me very theatrical - drop a sentence in a chatroom. If I'm not working directly with you I'm not going to read it, nor listen to you in a stand-up.
You're both right. The EITC only requires you to have earned $1 in income. When he quotes the statistic about the "working poor", they are probably counting people who work full time

EITC often results in the individual paying negative taxes. I know this was the case for me one year that I mostly spent unemployed. It's not the craziest thing in the world to pay extra attention when you're handing out checks, if for no other reason than to keep the program honest and protect its existence
I strongly suspect that you are recalling and processing images, but that it is just never reaching your conscious mind as images.

Even people who have had the "split brain" surgery due to epilepsy are able to do complex visual tasks; they just cannot articulate what they are doing with words.

I can't find the video, but, they interviewed someone with this condition, and asked him to parse a visually ambiguous painting. He couldn't say how he interpreted it, but when given a pencil and paper, he could express it visually.

So that would explain when people say that they can only recall a verbal description of something, I think that their brain actually is creating an image of it, but it is just not appearing in their mind's eye. This could also explain why some studies have shown that people with aphantasia are just as competent, if not slightly better, at solving complex visual puzzles.

So, perhaps if you cannot imagine what something looks like, you might still be able to draw it.
The implication was that they should be distinct but are not.
Conversations about this topic are so tiring. There's not just one question you can discuss; anything you can think to ask begets a massive pantheon of questions that require an agreement on moral axioms to even start talking about - and then the fun part begins.

How much taxes should people pay? If rich people pay should pay more, does that mean more dollars or more %? If they should, can we make them? If we can, will that incentivize them to leave? if they leave, is that a net benefit globally even if it hurts america? is globalization a positive thing, economically? if it is, is there a concurrent reduction in cultural diversity? if there is, is that bad?

do we even need _any_ taxes besides sales tax? how should taxes even be accomplished? queue discussion about big/small government, libertarians vs dems vs reps.

im not even trying. thousands of questions about any small subset of this topic. its almost not even worth talking about in anything less than a doctoral defense, if thats even a big enough stage.
Identity Based Cryptography
With a condo you own the walls in, and everyone collectively owns the exterior and other common areas. It is up to the owners as a group to decide what is allowed in the common area. You can generally bore a hole in the roof or walls for a good reason, like to put up and connect to solar panels or vent your stove. The association budget is similarly decided, and in practice much more predictable and stable than the costs incurred by a single family home owner.

City and county laws, zoning restrictions, and the building permitting dept all restrict what you can do in a single family home often in ways an HOA would not. For instance in many areas parking on the grass, extending your driveway(so you are no longer on the grass), turning a garage into living space, putting in a permanent pool, building a deck, parking a boat or rv, are all often restricted or banned.
Their money working for them. I think this is as it should be. But, all kind of inheritance should be banned, or to be created at heavy tax. That way, a rich self made person got to have and spend his money any way he wants, and at the same time, undeserved millionaire and billionaire get taxed.

I was curious about this, too. I found several studies suggesting that the two disorders are often comorbid, but distinct disorders.

A significant correlation was found between measures on the Observer Alexithymia Scale (OAS; subscales are Distant, Uninsightful, Somatizing, Humorless, and Rigid) and schizoid personality disorder. The correlation wasn’t incredible, however - correlation is described as ‘moderate’, and is mostly prominent under the Distant subscale. Alexithymia and schizoid personality disorder have similar features, but unique variance, so while may features of the two overlap, it would be inaccurate to say that they are one and the same. For the sake of comparison, however, the correlation between alexithymia and avoidant personality disorder was shown to also be significant to a similar degree. Alexithymia, rather than being a syndrome of its own, is described more as a trait that can be found within ‘normal’ ranges of personality, so it’s unsurprising that it would have a strong connection with schizoid personality disorder, major depression, and other disorders while also remaining prominent in non-clinical samples.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23021894

Edit: and for what it's worth, I have a family member who probably has alexithymia, but not schizoid. He is a bit on the introverted side, but can be warm, funny, and engaged in one-on-one conversation (so probably not schizoid). However, when he tries to describe his own emotions beyond really basic stuff (angry, sad, happy, etc.), it's like watching a colorblind person try to describe a flower. He clearly has some real difficulties verbally elaborating on his emotional states, even though those states seem clearly present.
YouTube’s Title Blacklist Exposed by Automated Testing
It's not a double standard, I'm claiming that the way society works right now, people don't have complete freedom. Hospitals don't have the freedom to turn people away, even people don't have the freedom to refuse healthcare, so obviously something has to give from the side receiving the product/service (healthcare). It's similar to having to pay taxes for the myriad reasons. You can't opt out of roads and water and other infrastructure.

If voters came out and changed the requirement for hospitals to provide healthcare, or let people forego healthcare, then we can perhaps treat healthcare like any other business.
Interesting, I thought they had already agreed on a standard a few years ago

In any case, Syllabics are a very interesting writing system. I'm planning on doing an in-depth video about them at some point, but Tom Scott's introduction is great [1].

There are some major advantages to using Syllabics.

Consider that the languages that use them are polysynthetic, meaning that the 'words' are quite large and encompass a lot of information, and that they mostly use a Consonant-Vowel syllable structure that is perfect for a syllabary, where one character represents both a consonant and its vowel [2], or an abugida, where the consonant is the important part of the character, and the vowel markings are secondary [3]. An alphabet creates large, unruly words. Qaliujaaqpait and Ojibwe also double their vowels to lengthen them, making romanized text very long.

Look at this Ojibwe word for coffee: "makade-mashkiikiiwaaboo", in syllabics, it's the much less unruly "ᒪᑲᑌᒪᔥᑮᑮᐙᐴ".

And Syllabics themselves are amazing, there are different shapes for the consonants, and their rotation determines the vowel sound [4]. Just awesome, and very easy to learn

However, sadly, there are many disadvantages to the awesome system. For one, roman letters are everywhere, there's good software support, there's always going to be a need to know them as the new generation learns English and French. Not to mention rotation-based characters are no good for, say, someone with dyslexia. I'm not shocked at this decision, it was the right call.

First Nations and Inuit languages need standardization, and more importantly, as much literature as possible, to compete. That's hard to do when everyone is writing in a different way.

I'm writing syllabic converter software that should hopefully be more accurate than the current ones online today, if you're interested in helping or learning about it, feel free to send me an email

A significant fraction of this money went into US tight oil, which seems to have effectively negative power output, considering that they've yet to turn a profit ?
If you have a basic understanding of tax rates in the US, this shouldn't come as a surprise. The marginal tax rate always goes up as you earn more income, so for the graph to show it going down then it must be the effective tax rate.

But I agree, it probably will be taken out of context and unfortunately not everyone has even a basic understanding of how taxes work.
This happened to me personally in Nanjing. I'd show the photos as proof, but of course I don't have them anymore.

Which socialist countries are you talking about? The entire list is tragically short.
Yes, I didn't mean to imply that the software wouldn't be useful. (Or for anyone to attempt to do all the math on their own.) Most people just don't realize you can define a generic coordinate system, and depending on the software, leave the projections/ datums blank (or set a generic/custom one), and still get good use out of many of the tools. (The danger is some tools that should only be used with projections might run error free without having one defined and return a meaningless answer.

Although admittedly I haven't kept up with the different capabilities for the last few years.

What method/format would even be used to generate points for an astroid? Radar? Lidar? Photogrammetry? From a "where do you start" perspective, knowing that would probably narrow down practical approaches...

That wouldn't be the news headline, though. The customer would find out about the cost increase via an article titled something like "Amazon increases prices by up to 20%, are your favourite purchases affected?".

I'm with you though, it costs the consumer nothing.
If Amazon sends you a different product, or charges your credit card more than the claimed price, do you just simply find another retailer, or do you demand a refund?

Amazon's argument wasn't that the FLSA prohibited state suits; it was about interpretation of Nevada state law. Specifically, Nevada had defined "work" to be "whatever the definition of work is under the federal FLSA". The appeals court ruled that, since the FLSA said the security checks exception was specifically an exception, it was still legally defined as work, and Nevada had not adopted the federal exceptions.
But if you have plenty of cheap electricity, you can export energy-intensive goods, like aluminum, where the cost of production is dominated by energy consumption
I don't think commutes are a good analogy here.

The existence and length of a worker's commute isn't Amazon's fault, nor is it under their control.

The existence and length of the security screenings is.

I agree with the sentiment but think his job will be done once the legacy automakers have actually switched (not simply made announcements - although those are encouraging signs).

What exactly is it that you think putting the money in Switzerland accomplishes? The US asserts that any income you make anywhere in the world is subject to US income tax. Living inside a corporation is very difficult, and the IRS takes a pretty dim view of people who try it. But don’t take my word for it: Ask Wesley Snipes. He spent 3 years in a federal penitentiary for trying.

There’s a small deduction that’s not indexed to inflation, and you can also deduct any local taxes you might have paid.
Oh, you mean they cut you off when you're trying to change over. That's terrible, we get that here (Vancouver) a lot, but I doubt the ability to rapidly accelerate would help much.

I can't help but being sad for the official end of the Inuktitut syllabic: it was such a unique system or writing, and it seemed to fit Inuit languages well.

Unicode can handle a zillion characters, and I don't remember having problems with missing fonts in any of my devices for at least half a decade. If the problem is people talking in English on their cellphones because of lack of input support, couldn't the government of Nunavut work in making iOS/Android keyboards with a good syllabic input method?

This isn’t about salaries, or about Amazon not being able to afford to do the right thing.

Yup. I absolutely agree. this is exactly why tesla is not on the top of my to buy list.

it's about total cost of ownership. All it takes is a couple of bad door handles (1500$ each) and a broken drive unit (10K$) and now your total cost 16K, just in repairs! if depreciation is roughly 15K over 10 years, then the cost of ownership doubles!

The article appears to be discussing the individual tax rates paid by the wealthiest, not the percentage of total tax paid. Those are two different things.

The GP appears to have introduced the latter statistic, as often happens in this debate, to distract from the actual statistic under discussion.

Self-paid insurance plans only work if you require every one to buy a plan. Otherwise many healthy people choose to go uncovered and the insurance pools get a higher portion of sick folks. Obamacare tried to get around this by using the individual mandate penalty. However, that was taken apart by the republican congress, so I think it's safe to say that self-pay insurance was/is not straight forward.

The most straightforward way is to have a universal coverage provided by the government (funded by tax revenue). Then we get rid of the whole problem of some people skipping out on coverage and free riding on the system.

When I was a kid, half my class was kids from Fort Lawton. They were kind, compassionate, and fun to hang out with after school, despite the limited means of most of the households that were in Fort Lawton.

Many of the people that live (under the radar) in the park surrounding Fort Lawton would lead much better lives if we redeveloped this into affordable apartments. The area already has reliable bus service (with dedicated lanes to downtown) and dedicated bike trails and lanes, its one of the few candidates for adding significant housing at a low cost inside Seattle.

Money saved on labour means you can spend more money on more labour! Or you can buy more machines, or you could invest in a project to reduce packaging times, etc. etc. There's probably not a direct correlation between saving on security checks and reduced shipping time, but it's all connected. Maybe paying these wages means there's no money for more robots, so packaging things will take longer?
But in the tutorial you are building programs that actually do something - plenty more than simply printing a fixed string. You're just doing it at the REPL instead of in a file.

You keep describing the alternative as if it's a bunch of theory before any practice. It's actually just a slightly different form of practice than maybe you are used to.

I am sympathetic to the notion that it might not work for you, but you haven't spoken at all to the actual distinction. If it really does make a big difference for you, I'm very interested in any unpacking you can do.
