The English Language strikes again. Apologies for wandering off-topic, but to (hopefully) clarify:

You're thinking of less / more in the quantitative sense, suggesting some people have _more_ traits, some of which are unpleasant.

I think GP was using less in the qualitative sense - "a lesser person for lacking moral fiber", if you will.

Both are valid, but contextual ambiguity interferes with interpretation.
"nerds don't care about licenses and such"

false.
You can estimate true heritability by comparing fraternal and identical twins, both of which will have shared environment, but identical twins are identical genetically and fraternal ones are as similar as any other sibling pair.

it is utterly bizarre that you're treating the fact that the party that got the most votes won the most seats as evidence that the electoral system is biased towards them.

You're right that any canvas stretched around the frame could act as aerodynamic stabilizer fins. The pendulum rocket fallacy is the assumption that a higher mounted engine will stabilize the rocket's direction due to it 'hanging' from the engine, by analogy with a pendulum (where the higher a point you 'hang it from' the more stable it is). The fallacy lies in the fact that the pendulum is hung from a fixed point which can apply forces to generate a stabilizing torque, whereas there are no such outside forces generated by the rocket engine (other than the thrust it produces).

Fins totally work and that's why almost all rockets use them to some degree for stabilisation while in the atmosphere.

Here's what I don't quite get: why does the GPU differentiation matter to me as a user of your API? I get that you're faster than doing it myself using something like ImageMagick, but are you faster than the other image processing APIs out there because of this? If so, that's what I think you should be touting. If not, whether the images are being processed by GPUs or trained giraffes is not that important to me as a consumer of the API, but I could be way off-base.

And they aren't. The current crop of Democrats mostly is, even with the continued strength of the pro-globalization factions of the party (which include a substantial faction that is basically neoliberal, but many members of which acknowledge some harms of neoliberal capitalism and see unions as a local mitigation for those harms.)
A candidate that will earn a lot of money is not what you're looking for when hiring.

Apple: Update GPS or lose Internet (WHY? it's not technically needed)
Be careful about drawing conclusions about broader nature from the behavior of the domestic cat. The cat’s behavior is, like the dog’s, very significantly the result of human driven natural selection. In the cat’s case, humans have favored them for 1000s of years because they kill pests like rodents. That was their ancestral “job”, their role as a domesticated animal that lives in harmony with humans.

You can probably find some other animals in nature that kill for no apparent reason though. There is apparently a term for it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surplus_killing (though the term confusingly conflates unnecessary killing with caching the excess for later)
Plus, passing it via function parameters allows you to do things like currying (outside of the constructor case, I suppose)

There is limited demand. Rail cars are expected to last for 30 years (with a couple significant refurbishments), and carry hundreds of people at a time over limited routes. Road cars last about 12 years (average as I recall), and carry only a couple people just about anywhere.

The result of this is society buys a lot more road cars than rail cars, and so there is a lot more scale and a lot more companies making them.
The usual solution for streetcars is to install a battery big enough to power the vehicle over the longest gaps. Is that unfeasible for trains?

This is just a hypothesis, but I think there is a additional geopolitical reason why most TSMC's 300mm GIGAFAB's and advanced backend fab are located in Taiwan (1 fab in Cina). https://www.tsmc.com/english/contact_us.htm#TSMC_fabs

Concentrating geopolitical risk of TSMC operations makes Taiwan more important to the rest of the world. The US would naturally want to reduce this risk. TSMC has close to 50% market share. In Taiwan-China conflict world chip production would take a huge hit or be in the danger of falling under Chinese rule.
Of course Access isn't dead. It's a:

So, they do this by comparing correlations in MZ (genetically identical) and DZ (typical sibling genetics) twin outcomes. Doesn't that assume that the fact of being DZ vs MZ does not itself create environmental (non-genetic) effects? The identical twins I know face particular social pressures to respond to their twin identity, which could drive towards outcomes that are more correlated -- or not! But it seems weird to base a branch of literature on the assumption that it's not. Is this addressed?

Checking the article again I got it from the "More Information" box at the bottom of the article. The paper is titled "In vivo evidence for a regulatory role of phosphorylation of Arabidopsis Rubisco activase at the Thr78 site" so that means A. thaliana.

The naïveté of - in particular Western Europeans - with regard to an ultimate truth handed down by ‘official’ bodies is mind boggling. Getting closer to the truth is a process not a static decree and accepting and dealing with the exact opposite viewpoint to your own - especially when it hurts - is part of adulthood nurtured by free thinking individuals in a free society. Learning about deception and lie, manipulation and propaganda is an extremely important and never ending learning process. (Disclaimer: I am a Western European living in the US)

The emotions most people associate with environmental action seem to be shame and guilt.

I propose paying more attention to emotions and leading with different ones since emotions motivate.

The more I act on my environmental values, the more I feel joy, then community spirit and connection with people around me -- including taking the train to L.A. and back from New York. I see that joy in hundreds of conversations with world-renowned people on my podcast http://joshuaspodek.com/podcast when they act too (before they act they tend not to show joy or community -- action creates it).

I was more than successful when I lived contrary to my environmental values and felt happy then, but these emotions reach another level of depth and connection. They motivate me to act more, and achieve more of value.

Meanwhile, guilt and shame seem to disengage people who aren't yet acting -- that is, the people most important to influence.

Another emotion I find rising up with experience acting on my environmental values is disgust, the emotion I feel at the thought of a kindergarten teacher smoking in the classroom. It started from my picking up at least one piece of garbage from the ground each day and has spread to fast fashion, factory farming, flying, industrial food, and more.

I don't like feeling disgust, but if my environment merits it, I'd rather feel it to motivate me to act. I think it would motivate those not yet acting, as with smoking before, more than guilt or shame.

I propose working to connect environmental action with joy, community, and connection, and inaction with disgust. This is the first I've mentioned this idea so I welcome feedback.

Stupid question: normally the labs I work in have excellent temperature control for this reason.

Imagine, if you will, that you are addressing an audience that knows what Gödel's results are. In particular, assume that we know Gödel's proof that any formal system that's sufficiently complex to hold a model of arithmetic has statements that are true, but unprovable within the system.

Now, can you explain to us why this result makes it pointless to read the article?
The author was pretty clear about the risks:

> This solution is fine for most people, but this section is about being a bit more paranoid, so I would recommend not using the 1Password integration for your one-time password codes.

> The more extreme option is to manually keep track of the QR code or setup key provided when setting up 2FA for a TOTP authenticator on each account. Backing up these setup codes is a bit controversial and not recommended by the more hardcore security folks as it introduces another avenue by which you could be compromised if not securely stored. If you opt to backup your QR codes, you may want to store them outside of your password manager and in an encrypted manner.
Staying in the correct place and staying oriented at the correct angle are two different things.
Many services offering 2FA, esp. TOTP, will give you a set of backup codes – print/store them separately, safely (using the rule of backups). At the very least, Google does and allows you to view the existing ones and I think regenerate new ones on-demand as long as you can currently securely access your account.

The same can be done with security keys – typically you can add more than one to your account so have at least two and keep one stored safely somewhere.

Sadly, I recently set up an AWS account and, from what I could tell during that period, they support TOTP/hardware keys, but you can seemingly only pick a single 2FA method – so either TOTP or one single hardware key. That’s a service I would have expected better from (or perhaps I am misunderstanding my settings panel where I can’t find a way to add another factor – I am rather new to managing that ecosystem/account).
I'm thinking of the past (which is well known) when we constructed the norms on policing. Those examples are certainly drawn from the past 50 years. I could have expressed that better.

However, although I wasn't necessarily talking about the present day, we do have to look at the historical context. IMHO police forces such as the Met need to do a huge amount more to convince us that they've stopped.

And my point was really that whether someone was beaten up by the police or their parents were, they are much more likely to consider the downsides of getting on the wrong side of the police than someone who has never met anyone who was targeted.
> these farmers have seen dramatic floods in 2017 and then droughts in 2018

They should be so lucky.

Here in Australia we have large swaths of the country entering their fourth, fifth and sixth years of drought with cities and towns now running low on water.

Add to that we are now going into summer, just as we leave one of the hottest and driest springs on recorded.

With climate change smashing Australia in the face we just re-elected a government that thinks climate change is a hoax.

At the turn of the century Australia went through the devastating millennium drought and less that ten years later we face a drought that easily eclipses that disaster.

I suspect what many have failed to realise is Australia is not really in drought, but instead is facing it's new norm.
I've flown airplanes with solid GA plane autopilot that'll fly down to decision height, but you still have to put in flaps, gear, change throttle. To have an airplane do all that on its own is quite impressive, particularly to do a 'nearest' type input on a Garmin then to land it on the appropriate runway, still confuses me sometimes if its a new airport I've never been at.

I'd be interested to know if it declares an emergency, squawks 7700 and controllers are expected to give it a priority and right of way?

We have a bunch of theorem provers - Lean, Coq, Agda, Isabelle

If you prove something in Lean, can you automatically convert the proof into a Coq one (even if it looks like uglyfied/minified code)?

It feels like it should be possible to "merge" the proof repositories of these languages together into a common one.

Or to put another way, if you can prove in Coq that Lean is correct, then it should imply that Lean proofs are correct too.
> makes it sound like there's a QC stage at the end of the conveyor belt

No, the QC stage is at design/purchase level. Different armies, different needs, different rockets. Some like the Palestinians are happy with utter crap, as long as it gets the job done (it's a common guerilla tactic, minimal expense to oneself, but great expense to the other side). Some only need to defend against car bombs meaning a "cheap" version is sufficient, some need to defend against old Russian made tanks and some need to defend against tanks with active armor. Some armies need, for different scenarios, all the variants - and cost-effective, which means it doesn't make economic sense to deploy ultra-modern tankbusters against terrorists in Toyota Hiluxes, just as it doesn't make sense to target US tanks with a WW2 panzerfaust.
