I don't particularly care about the NBA, but I followed your link anyways, and came across this gem:

> A recent study by WHOOP, a biometric device company with NBA clients, found what researchers called a "four-day hangover" in the post-drinking health metrics of 148 student-athletes. Heart rates were 16 percent higher after a night of drinking, and a measurement of heartbeat interval variation was 23 percent lower. According to the researchers, the effects are "a change of similar magnitude to that of aging 12 years."

Searching for "four day hangover" had this link at the top: https://www.whoop.com/the-locker/the-four-day-hangover/

Searching some more, this page has information about lab tests that provide evidence of chronic alcohol consumption: https://arupconsult.com/content/alcohol-abuse

Racial profiling is just a slur for pattern recognition. If it turns out that 95% of Chinese scholars in the US are more loyal to China than to America, and that when given a chance, will illegally send information back to China, what are you supposed to do?

It's fine if you don't want to have a racial bias yourself, but it doesn't mean you need to ignore the fact that (in this hypothetical) the vast majority of Chinese are highly ethnocentric.

Yup. Lots of sleight-of-hand in this claim.

China does have a long history of invading other countries, but they try to suppress knowledge of it. That’s why they’re so hypersensitive about the definition of China, because they’re hiding their present and former invasions.

Because in your mind, motivation follows naturally from logically deduced need. Motivation isn't so connected in most people's minds; it's an emotional thing, which isn't necessarily driven by rational thought.

Kinda pointless that they're hashing the urls, as to tell if that url was malicious google/tencent would have had to generate that hash themselves as well. The associations are already there, so the hashing step adds nothing (except to prevent a MITM attack where the bad actor didn't have a lookup table).

I get that. It's just that "until death do us part" is so blatantly unrealistic.

For what it's worth, my wife and I have both been married three times. My first marriage lasted five years, my second lasted 10 years, and my third has lasted 20 years, so far.

Still, I've always been fundamentally a single guy. But I'm also agreeable, so I keep getting married. However, I don't recall that I ever said "until death do us part". You gotta be realistic.

Edit: By "fundamentally a single guy", I mean that I'm extremely independent. I've learned how to be social, but I don't get lonely. And I resent commitments that distract me from whatever I'm currently focused on. Also, I've never wanted to have children.
I am South African so yes, I don't have any imperial ambitions in that regard. But having said that, Lesotho is rather dependant on South Africa (as OP hints). My question was really whether he was an outlier or whether his friends or immediate environment had a lot of (aspiring) coders.

The problem with EM drive testing in general is that you're looking for a signal (thrust) which should be zero, while pumping an enormous amount of energy into a system, and declaring any nonzero reading as success. Physicists know from experience that this is a recipe for fooling yourself. There are a million things that could imitate the purported signal.

In the last EM drive test I looked at, the "thrust" was pointing in the wrong direction, and moreover it perfectly matched the temperature curve of the apparatus, even though no theories of the EM drive say it should. That is a dead giveaway that the temperature is causing a fake signal, which e.g. could happen by thermal expansion messing up the meters. In general, the EM drive seems like a playground for sloppy experimentalists, because what anybody else would call a failure can be reported as a success.
> The upper limit for speeds you can reach approaches the speed of the exhaust - which tops out around 50 km/s for current ion drives, about .0002C.

That is not correct. The delta-v of a rocket (i.e., the maximum speed it can reach) depends on the effective exhaust velocity and on the mass fraction of its propellant; see [1]. For example, a rocket which is initially 90% propellant, can reach a velocity ~2.3 times its effective exhaust velocity.

I checked the bytecode, in the walrus version you get [...DUP_TOP, STORE_FAST, ...] in the non-walrus you get [...STORE_FAST, LOAD_FAST, ...]. Besides that identical. I imagine DUP_TOP is faster than LOAD_FAST, but I feel either way this is useless micro optimization at its finest.

> The phrase "partnership between equals" does not preclude prenups

Indeed, it doesn't. But a lot of the "prenup" discussions I see on the internet are absurd-- stuff like marital assets will be split on the ratio of incomes during the marriage or even worse.

I've frequently seen people fail to realize that highly imbalanced agreements aren't actually in their favor even if they're nominally in their favor because of the power issues they create.

Some traditional marriage arrangements simply don't make sense in a modern western civilization where women treated in a much more economically and socially equal way...

I think we're basically in agreement that it's a great shame when important information is not reaching the audience it deserves because of how it's presented.

>In both Canada and the United States, all milk sold must be antibiotic-free, so the issue is more about potential antibiotic-resistance than actually consuming antibiotics through milk. In Canada, a farmer who provides a dairy with milk containing antibiotics will have to pay for all expenses related to the milk that is thrown out. That means farmers take their commitment to providing antibiotic-free milk seriously.
Kind of similar to North America in a way.

Not really the same. Americans are taught to love an abstract, idealised version of America, an eagle perched atop a flag, and it doesn’t really work, half of Americans hate even that, and that’s fine, no one really cares. Whereas the Chinese are taught to love a specific leader of a specific party operating a specific system, etc. And the consequences for not complying are harsh.
That's a good use case for a linter. Ban outdated constructs in your code, but still allow you to depend on things that use them. Beats another 2->3 split again.
> Read up on what's happening today in Africa and Afghanistan. Or the many examples of state-sponsored corporate espionage and hacking. Are these not forms of invasion in 2019?

I do recall a couple of countries invading Afghanistan, none of them named "China."

If you're going to call building railroads, highways, power plants and other infrastructure in Africa an "invasion," that's just plain unreasonable. I get that you may find the amount of debt African nations are taking on troubling, but it's dangerous hyperbole to call this sort of thing an "invasion."

Disclaimer: I'm french and I'm living in China since my wife is Chinese.

It's not only about brainwashing.

40 years ago 85% of the chinese population was below the poverty line. Today it's between 10% and 15%. Under the party governance, almost everyone saw their life standards go up
substantially. A lot of the people studying abroad saw their family starting from the bottom and they can now afford to study in western universities.
They think the Chinese system works because economically it is working very well so far.

Just another example: We have some friends who bought a very expensive new apartment in Beijing (around 4.5M US$). This is a brand new residence founded by Wang Jianlin, the founder of Wanda Group (the most powerful estate developer in China).
The government allowed him to run this project under one condition: to build 3 apartment blocks on the same field (sharing the same park) which will be given to families under the poverty line.
A lot of the wealthy people complained a lot about this, 1/3 of them got a refund and the price of the apartments dropped.

So to get back to my point, this is not only brainwashing. The party is giving its people a new life, and these people will be thankful and loyal for at least decades.

I'm curious about how a long term economic recession could change people minds though.
The description in the article is oversimplified.

Relativistic dynamics is different from Newtonian dynamics in a lot of ways. Force isn't parallel to acceleration anymore. Acceleration gets harder the faster an object moves. You can mimic some of these changes by just pretending that you still have Newtonian dynamics but the mass can change with velocity, but we don't use this language in physics because it's misleading -- there are many effects this idea can't capture. (For example, the fact that force is not parallel to acceleration.) It is a very fragile analogy that causes a lot of conceptual mistakes.

It's easy to prove that Newtonian mechanics conserves momentum. It's also easy to prove that relativistic mechanics conserves momentum. A weird hybrid of Newtonian mechanics plus a magically changing "relativistic mass" does not conserve momentum, but nobody has ever thought this was a correct description of nature. It's the result of taking a helpful simplifying analogy too far. Any reactionless drive formulated using this Frankenstein theory doesn't work.

If you just bounce an object back and forth, in either Newtonian mechanics or relativistic mechanics, you won't get anywhere. If you change the rest mass of the object to be different going right than left, you will go somewhere, but it will cost momentum to do this, as explained in gus_massa's comments. So we haven't gotten thrust for free.
That's a good point. I just wanted to emphasize that an epigenetic error being passed on is not a measure of its utility to an organism, rather, it is a necessary precondition for the resulting trait to be tested against the environment. Being a necessary element of "natural selection", the meta statement of calling this propagation a positive utility seems a bit incorrect, if only in verbiage.

I picked up Sissela Bok's book Lying[2] a few years ago. While in someways it echoes the old "categorical imperative" argument (lying is wrong because you wouldn't want to live in a world where everyone routinely lies) I found it to be much more nuanced than Kant's heavy handed and inflexible system. There are in-depth discussions of paternalistic lies, lying to dying patients, lying to protect confidentiality, and much more.

> For example, automated package management was banned at the company level. Instead there was a central repository of approved packages that everyone used.

Do you mean they had a private dpkg/yum repository? That is a well supported and somewhat common setup, and counts as automated package management (your application gets packaged up as a .deb or .rpm with the necessary dependency and installation info).

> It ensured internal consistency in a way that more-or-less eliminated a problem that is more commonly solved with baroque solutions like containerization.

I worked at a company with that kind of build/deployment system. About the time of the start of Docker mania, a corporate merger happened, and the acquiring company, in addition to buying the company I worked for, also bought into the hype, and insisted the build and deployment process go through Docker. Early days of shitty Docker tooling meant a ridiculous amount of time spent by one of my colleagues getting the system working, with the result that build and deploy times went up an order of magnitude, and debugging got a lot harder. Containers are not a substitute for package managers or automated provisioning.
Normal BMI values are for adults. Child BMI differs somewhat sharply depending on age and gender.

This [1] is a tool from the CDC for measuring the BMI of children. For instance a 9 year old with a BMI of 22.5 (in the middle of the normal range for an adult) would be considered obese. A BMI of 17.6 (very underweight for an adult) would mean they're more overweight than 70% of other children their age, but it's still considered a healthy weight - just on the high side. By contrast dropping down just 1 BMI point (to 16.6) puts the child at the 55th percentile, meaning it's a perfectly average weight.

Uber does almost 1 million rides per hour. About 100 million monthly active users are driven around 26 billion miles each year. Think about all these car locations, requests, passenger details, messages, prices, tips, customer support etc landing into their system every second. Think about price predictions that can be off by just few cents and could make a dent in your earnings or push customers to the competition. Add onto this reliability in at least 3 or 4 nines, latencies across the globe, security, fail-over, multi-platforms, privacy etc issues. Don't forget you need to operate in 700 cities worldwide with all kind of regulations, customizations and geographic/culture adaptation. Uber accomplishes 230,000 trips per employee and earns $500,000 per employee - which is on par with other tech companies. I think you will find that the scaling system without falling on your face every day, every hour is a pretty significant undertaking at this point.
