Low fat diets were the conventional wisdom for quite a long period of time. Lots of people got lean and athletic on them and still do.

> If calorie in/calorie out worked then obesity wouldn't be a problem in the USA because 99% of obese people have been treated that way.

There are two ways of looking at whether a diet "works." First, what happens when a person actually follows the diet. This is what most people are curious about. Second, what happens when you tell a person to follow the diet. This is what all the scientific papers are written about because it's what doctors, public health experts, and other researchers care about. Don't get the two mixed up. From the first point of view, there's a wide variety of very different diets that "work." From the second point of view, basically nothing works, and there is a never-ending (re)search in which occasionally somebody announces weak evidence that the diet du jour is better than yesterday's favored diet, but there's no reason to believe the current conventional wisdom will last any longer than previous expert consensuses such as the need to eat low-fat.
Matplotlib has XKCDify which is similar[0]. It's great for rough or estimated graphs that are not to be read accurately.

It's a lot more disturbing if other parts of the government can arbitrarily target people they don't like for harassment. There's a big difference between 10 random searches and 10 targeted searches. Journalists aren't that common. If there's a large cluster of journalists getting targeted in a close period of time, it's worth figuring out why that's happening.

Why should I care about when the Sun is at its highest point in the sky? The Sun being at its highest point in the sky has no biological significance that I know of.

The arrival of morning light, on the other hand, is used to regulate our circadian rhythms. Thus, it makes a lot more sense to anchor our schedules for most activities to when the Sun rises, not when it peaks.
It's a summary of the court's opinion and reasoning (and dissenting opinion) in the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_of_Columbia_v._Heller supreme court case, as to the constitutionality of DC's handgun restrictions at the time, in light of the second amendment.

Since it's possible to create custom components, one can for instance create a component for packaging models, for example the component can extract the model from a path (mounted volume or blob storage), create a python package with a requirements file, and a microservice based on flask, everytime a user wants to promote a model to production, she can run this component, or she can also add it to a workflow to be triggered after a training or hyperparams operation.

From Polyaxon's side, we will be providing a set of reusable components, some of these components will be targeting deployment and packaging, for instance aws lambda, azure ml, sagemaker, open source projects for deployment (some of them are mentioned in this HN thread) Users can also contribute components as well or create them to be used inside there organization.

For versioning, all component have versions, and all runs have full overview of their dependencies and provenance (inputs/outputs). This gives all information about when and how a model was created.

The platform knows how to create and manage services, e.g. tensorboards, notebooks, dash, simulators for RL agents ..., so one can also deploy the model as an internal Polyaxon service to be used as an internal tool or for testing purposes, the only thing to keep in mind is that the API endpoint will be subject to the same access rights as other components create by a given user.

Yeah, enriching the events as they pass through - so we have a Kafka Connect JDBC source polling the source of truth DB every X seconds for model changes (we looked into Debezium for streaming model changes, but the additional complexity didn't bring us much benefit based on how often our model changes), and then we pull that into a GlobalKTable and join the KStream as appropriate.

We also use Kafka streaming with a persisted event window store to deduplicate across a window of 2 hours.
Physical copies of movies still cost about the same, though.

> Are you saying terrorists happen at equal frequencies across all demographics?

Are you aware that the person I replied to described a scenario where 100% of attacks came from one group, and 0% from the rest? He was just as wrong as the straw man of me that you constructed.

> There have been Christian terrorists, yes, but those strike me as exceedingly rare compared to Muslim terrorists, for example.

I bet I know why it strikes you that way. And it's not because of actual real-world statistics based on what's actually happening in America. Check the numbers on terror attacks in the US- you might be surprised at the Muslim / Christian breakdown.

> Has a terrorist attack ever been carried out by a couple with children in the history of the world?

Yes, they have. And if we start waving couples with children through the security line, then yes, we will see it much more.

> how many terrorist attacks are carried out by women vs. men?

Yes. And if that's how we decide to bias our security, then we'll see a lot more women terrorists.

plantUML[0] may be what you're looking for, specifically the activity diagrams[1].I've been using it extensively for sequence diagrams (has more features than websequencediagrams.com). Most recently I've been using this C4 architecture diagrams extension[2]. There's a VSCode preview extension[3] and a docker image[4] for running a plantUML server locally that lets me create and share version controlled diagrams with my colleagues easily.

I especially like that there's an ascii renderer for the sequence diagrams that makes embedding them in Readme's very easy

This is like the 737 Max problem all over again, the regulators need to step in and say that there's not enough margin in these designs to be reliable and safe. This would force the Airbuses and Boeings of this world to go back to four engines in their new designs, which they should have never abandoned in the first place.

As I've said for many years, cutting air travel prices to the bones is a very dangerous affair—as it results in substandard/shithouse quality engineering being installed in aircraft (cost-cutting results in designs that have insufficient safety/reliability margins).

Travelers need to get used to paying about 30% to 40% more per trip—and the regulators should be spruiking this message loud and clear from upon high until the plebs get the message!

(It's all pretty basic really—it's a no-free-lunch argument.)

I can't quickly find details about the context of the photo's use. They might be out there, but if so they seem buried in legal briefs, from what I can tell.

Similarly, I'm not super knowledgeable of all the ins and outs of fair use (which I believe is what you were alluding to), but it seems fairly nuanced and does not seem to give news organizations a blanket exemption.

OK, so, probably an ignorant question, but here I go anyway:

What, exactly, does "turning off IDFA" do? Does it send just a dummy IDFA? Or does it give you nothing at all? Why is rotating it periodically better? (I'm assuming rotation is better because that is what Mozilla is apparently recommending.)

I don't know when product managers are going to realize that one size doesn't fit all. Different people use Netflix differently and usually even the same people use it differently at different times. There should be an option to switch between these modes.

Netflix, for example, could easily have multiple modes. A discover based on my past preferences/popularity mode and a categorical listing mode. The problem is them blending these two together and then prioritizing their content arbitrarily over other better recommendations.

To me there's not such a big difference between resorting to a totally original straw man and picking the weakest argument among those different individuals on the other side of party lines have put forward. This snopes article serves as a catchall for claims about democratic attempts to impeach. There's no separate article for a different wording of the meme.

And even if this were the only way anyone had worded the claim, it still merits a "partially true" or "mostly true".

I deliberately avoided putting specific examples in my first post because I didn't want to quibble over the specifics. Spin is spin, it's not outright lying. Snopes isn't going to bend the truth to such a degree that a democrat, when confronted with the article, would be forced to admit they are dirty rotten liars.
I’m going to take this opportunity to call out Airbnb as having the best rejection experience I’ve ever gotten as a candidate. After a day of onsites (I think 9 interviews including the lunch culture interview), the recruiter called me at 6 PM and told me I was being rejected, and which of the interviews I failed (which matched my perception that I didn’t click with that interviewer). It left me with a positive feeling toward the company.

It depends on state/city law. In San Francisco, for example, non-citizens who have school-age kids can vote in local school board elections (as of last year).
But customers officers can't force you to comply can they? So whether or not they have any authority is irrelevant. Of course if you choose not comply you have to turn around.
The problem is that Apple has always claimed ios provides more privacy (& security) than android, but that's irrelevant if you don't make sure your users are capable of finding the settings. Apple has always marketed to people who are (at least perceived to be) largely tech illiterate (while claiming you have to be extremely tech savvy to use android which is a lie), so if they view their users that way they should make sure those settings are easy to find.
I would hope that Disney would recognize you can’t easily just snap your fingers and get a Netflix like setup. It’s not a matter of using aws or google. It’s just a raw man hours issue . I hope you fail.
WebAssembly is still very immature. It unsurprising that it has such a low adoption right now.

I think the real problem with webassembly would be if it becomes too popular and starts to become a JS competitor rather than a complement to JS.
> patients should get notified and paid every time someone uses an element of their data

I don't know about most people here, but I wouldn't say that. Notification or being paid is beside the point. The point is that informed consent should be obtained.

You're right that blanket consent forms don't count as "informed consent" for this sort of thing because they don't actually inform you.

> Personally, that seems like a bad tradeoff to me

Which is fair -- you'd have no problem giving such consent. I, however, would not be willing to give such consent.

I put a lot of effort into reducing the amount of data that Google (and Facebook, Amazon, etc.) can get about me. If/when my medical provider just hands my data over to them, that's a very serious betrayal of trust and undermines my ability to protect myself from those companies.

I find that completely unacceptable, particularly because medical care is not exactly an optional thing.

Unless you can also convince businesses and schools to open later in the winter, permanent DST is terrible then at higher latitudes.

Years ago, I implemented a piecewise-linear approximation algorithm based on this [1] paper. I was amused that the primary author was a high schooler, the secondary working at Infineon, both in Torrance, CA.

Now I have doubts :)

It's true in practice in a lot of places. In some places, persons without ironclad immigration status can be hassled out of enjoying public services with spitefully racist levels of bureaucratic process. It is similar to how same-sex marriages were denied after being declared legal by county clerks that refused to issue the documents that record their marriage publicly. The kids aren't denied public education, per se, but they certainly cannot get the same education experience as citizens and legal residents get. No electives. No extracurriculars. No field trips. No cafeteria payment accounts. All those things require the proper forms, and proof of residency, you see.

As a bonus (malus?), the very same malicious process can be used against kids of homeless parents.

It's the hard truth. As it is, there's just no way to solve the problem without some sort of global cataclysm. I think people in power have the logistics to know this, which is why I'm so skeptical about the political movement today in western nations that largely revolves around consolidating power over world energy even further into the hands of a small group of elites that more or less exist beyond the reach of any one nations political process.
The times when the sun rises and sets change every season. The sun being in the highest position is the mid point. That's the significance of this.

Having the sunrise always at 8 and the sunset at 20 in the summer and 16 in the winter makes things harder than having sunrise at 6 and sunset at 18 in the summer and sunrise at 8 and sunset at 16. We split the difference of sunlight per season.
