Tolkien wrote a lovely letter to a fan about Sam and the soldiers he served alongside on the Western Front:

"My ‘Samwise’ is indeed (as you note) largely a reflexion of the English soldier—grafted on the village-boys of early days, the memory of the privates and my batmen that I knew in the 1914 War, and recognized as so far superior to myself."

It appears to be a two-pronged law that permits banks to act as custodians, while at the same time requiring other custodians currently operating in Germany to obtain a special license and comply with other regulations.
The general field of study is called chronobiology. Doing a search for "chronobiology light sleep" gives all sorts of results. One example:

> Environmental light synchronizes the primary mammalian biological clock in the suprachiasmatic nuclei, as well as many peripheral clocks in tissues and cells, to the solar 24-hour day. Light is the strongest synchronizing agent (zeitgeber) for the circadian system, and therefore keeps most biological and psychological rhythms internally synchronized, which is important for optimum function. Circadian sleep-wake disruptions and chronic circadian misalignment, as often observed in psychiatric and neurodegenerative illness, can be treated with light therapy. The beneficial effect on circadian synchronization, sleep quality, mood, and cognitive performance depends on timing, intensity, and spectral composition of light exposure. Tailoring and optimizing indoor lighting conditions may be an approach to improve wellbeing, alertness, and cognitive performance and, in the long term, producing health benefits.

Driving drunk is something we should have absolutely 0 tolerance for in 2019. It is nearly never mandatory, except possibly in a disaster, and should be punished according to the externalities it causes. In this case that is death, which is non-reversable.

I, for one, find this to be a barely passable minimum punishment for two DUIs

If you're not familiar with Corey Olsen (https://tolkienprofessor.com/), one of his frequent points is that, while the First Age elves had some air support in the form of Manwë's eagles, Morgoth didn't until he invented winged dragons shortly before the final battle.

A VPN provider is basically a choice to trade one country’s passive adversary for another. I.e., if you’re in the US and using a VPN with German corporate headquarters, then your Internet transactions are able to be wiretapped by the German government, but not by the US government. Either way, yes, your data will also be wiretapped by your carrier themselves and sold on the open market—but not usually in a form that will result in legal problems for you, since ad-targeting data tends to be semi-anonymized (in the sense that it isn’t in a form where a court would accept it as evidence of who you are; not in the sense that it couldn’t be used to deanonymize you by a sufficiently-motivated private researcher.)
I agree, Could use WWVW or whatever it’s called.
Yes, it’s a hard place to be. Especially in rural areas, people use their cars to get around. That doesn’t mean that you have a right to drive, no matter the impacts on the people around you. If you’ve been convicted of drunk driving twice, you’ve already shown an ability to ignore the potentially deadly impacts of your actions on others. Being young doesn’t make those impacts any less severe for the victims.

Maybe so but I struggle to understand how, I must admit. In case you would care to elaborate I would be interested.

But unless you will argue that "logical thinking" is the correct term in this case I will submit that you have delivered a faulty argument yourself (since you invalidate my whole comment and not just the relevant part). Not sure which logical fallacy that represents though ...
If you go directly to code, you'll hook the people who would end up being hooked anyway. You will lose all the other too embarrassed to ask what is a file and how you edit it, what is this folder thing, etc... Those are the one you want to teach.

If you have a complicated qubit that collapses (by whatever mechanism) into a pure 1 or 0, you still have a qubit with a history in the world that is continuous. A complicated qubit doesn't carry any more information than the pure 1 or 0 in this particular sense.

The concern about black holes is that you toss a bunch of qubits (in the mass) in, and then there is a discontinuity; qubits with no particular relationship to anything that went in come off the surface as Hawking radiation. It isn't just that the qubits are really, really "scrambled"; thing getting too scrambled to put back into their original state in any feasible amount of work is a thing that happens all the time in the non-black-hole world anyhow. But there's still continuity, and the theoretical possibility of restoring the original state. The concern with black holes is that it isn't even theoretically possible to put together the original states. (It's going to be practically impossible either way.) There's a discontinuity in the qubits evolution, where they seem to entirely disappear from the universe at one place ("in" the black hole, for whatever exact definition of that ends up making sense; for this particular discussion, that's a complicated question!), and suddenly re-emerge with no relationship to any past state in the Hawking radiation. That discontinuity is the concern.

If I have this right.

(Stepping even further out of my comfort zone, I think part of the problem with this "discontinuity" is ultimately the same problems you learned about in calculus class with discontinuities in functions. Our understanding of QM is mostly expressed in differential equations. Those equations can't tell us about what happens if there are actually discontinuities in the world. In their own way they're as bad as the singularities that appear in relativity for black holes. It means "anything" could happen.)
Richard P. Bentall makes convincing argument that happiness is a psychiatric disorder.† Notably Caesar was said to prefer the company of fat men, with the implied causation that happy -> fat. One also sees this in the weight gain usually caused by SSRIs. At the same time obesity has well measured effects on many metabolic processes, so it is likely there is some effect on the brain.

Some poorly-designed models are particularly prone to rusting, but most cars can put up with this for more than 10 winters without losing any structural integrity.

Lord yes. It's both. It's very much both.

Small companies tend to have everyone working on the same thing. You might have a marketer, a couple engineers, etc, but they all care about the same thing.

As you grow, you silo. You have a marketing department, and an engineering department. There starts being disconnects between each group; engineers don't know what marketers are doing, marketers don't know what engineers are doing.

As you get bigger still, you silo the silos. Now you have your client dev teams, maybe a couple backend dev teams, various marketing teams, some data analysis/engineering teams, etc. To get a change through, now, you have to get disparate teams, all with different criteria for success, pulling in the same direction.

A lot of the time companies notice that better culture helps. It surely does. If I care about the other teams, even for things whose success/failure does not impact me directly, it leads to better results.

But the core problem is one of process. It's also one of the things that these companies trying to be 'agile' have clearly missed; rather than creating a 'self-organizing team' by taking one dev from the client team, one dev from each backend team, a marketer, a data guy, etc etc, and building a team out of them, that is responsible for a feature (and it can be a somewhat ephemeral team, it just needs to be one who is responsible for the success/failure of something, and can truly own it), they've instead created "self-organizing teams" inside each silo, and then are left with trying to chart a path for a feature across all of them via project managers or similar, and it's both incredibly slow, and incredibly painful.

If it's filled with Hydrogen, it doesn't burn for very long - it would be an explosive burn. The cargo is still aloft in the air though, but that's also a theoretical problem with planes.
In books, the ghost army was used to rout enemy at south and gather (now free to leave the region) soldiers at that region and transport them with (captured) enemy ships to the battlefield.

The selfie camera is useful for video chatting, but I do wish they could tuck it into the display or shrink it into the small bezels of the iPhone.

Selfies were the near death of asking strangers to snap a group photo for you. I offer whenever I can, crack a lame joke to get the group smiling. It's sad to think how many things we've done that have inadvertently put up social walls with strangers.
All those old Leafs with "horrible battery degradation" from the USA are now taxis here in Ukraine. A car model needs to be VERY reliable and maintainable to be popular as a taxi here, so it's a high praise for the Leaf. The batteries don't degrade straight to zero, they are still very usable. Battery degradation only helped to lower the price of an otherwise very nice car.

The odds are stacked against the opposition — for some reason, elected Members of Parliament are required to manage their individual town councils as well. The opposition that won a group constituency recently got a lawsuit slapped against them for "mismanagement" [1].

the .rmd is just text. But the output is cached separately, RStudio can load the full notebook, code and output. So it seems to me it's only a matter of how to integrate the .rmd with the output data so it can be displayed in interfaces other than RStudio.

Plus you get the option of rendering an HTML which IMO is no different than having a jupyter file.
> Think of “residential proxies” this way: 1.) Oxylabs installs some malware on to a user’s device, unknown to the user, by bundling it with other software that the user downloads. 2.)This malware enables Oxylabs to sell off your bandwidth, your computing power, and your IP address to third parties, who will route their internet traffic through your device.

There's so many providers doing something similar, it really isn't a Oxylabs / NordVPN exclusive issue.

Do you know what you want / need?

If so, I would simply ask for it and if you’re told no I would then quit and take some time for yourself. (Communicate this upfront).

Reflecting on my own burnout I can see that not knowing who I am, not being aligned with my intuition and not effectively setting and protecting boundaries played a core role in my journey.

Asking what you want / need is about erecting and protecting your boundaries within your relationship with work. If you can learn to do that (and walk away when people will not respect them) then I think you can avoid a whole range of scenarios that lead to burnout.

I wish you the best of luck and hope that you can take the time you need to recover. Happy to chat if you want someone to connect with over startup burnout.
This is purely anecdotal.

I have found that obese clients have a much harder time grasping the theoretical foundation for diving than fit fit clients. I am not talking about the fitness tests, but understanding the underlying physical principles of the sport.

This has become enough of an issue that I ask about level of fitness prior to scheduling courses due to need to budget additional time for unfit clients in the classroom.

I cannot attribute this to grey matter, it is just my experience that overweight people take significantly longer to teach basic theory before even getting into the water.
Awesome strategy, that's basically what I do myself when things turn bad - after having had a bad startup experience myself. Looking back at the last years, my carrier options have improved a lot, same with overall happiness.

Eric Jang: Differentiabe Path Tracing on the GPU/TPU
Besides The Expanse, which gets a lot of the technical implications on space battle right, there are some other examples. One that comes to mind would be Aerotech, the aerospace rule set from Classic battletech. hard to play as a table top, but in space it works with vectors, thrust and accelaration. And orientation of craft in space. You can even realative speed at the beginning of a scenarion in different vectors. As I said, hard to keep track off but quite realistic.

Another, non-game example of where weapons tech can take you, is Perry Rhoadan. german science fiction started in the 60s. Perry Rhoadan becomes immortal and leads humanity, and for periods the whole galaxy, for thousands of years. There you see actual technological progress, often stolen from other races. It leads to a point where a deus ex was used by authors to reign it back in (hyperspace resistance increased rendering everything too advanced useless). Point is, at the height of it, single shot starship weapons had aroud 2,000 GT TNT equivalent of energy, ships carried a lot of them which had and could be aimed at almost light speed to single point (in the physical sense as they had multilayered shields that could only be penetrated by point-fire, every "point" of the shiled had the same strength). i only wondered how ground combat would look like, as the battle armor and robots carried the same tech. I would assume a city would be reduced to sub-atomar dust within the first 10 minutes of an engangement or so.

but from a technical point of view it made sense, same for power generation and computers (even if computers also got the actual processing power development wrong). Nice thing, they used real world ISO units for the most part, not like start trek which just throwns around units to sound scientific.

Some ship examples: Accelaration: up to 980 km/sec^2, overlight factor up to 60 million, energy directly from hyperspace. So you can see why that, from an authors perspective, had to be rained in. when travel to the next couple of galaxies can be done in a private yacht, things get a little bit to crazy.

EDIT: Typos, a lot... Sorry for that!
High level computer science courses straddle several disciplines and you end up with weird stuff like computer vision being the purview of the electrical engineering department. EEs tend to know some of this stuff because a lot of matrix algebra comes up in control/optimisation theory.

In physics we did matrix calculus primarily for electromagnetism and fluid dynamics. Maxwell's equations are the first time most students see the div/curl operator and it's also used in e.g. Navier-Stokes. But even though we were taught it, I don't think we really bothered to remember what a "Jacobian" is.

A lot of this stuff also comes up in physical rendering.

Intel Has Tapped Samsung Foundries to Manufacture CPUs
In a more realistic space battle scenario weapons would have to be able to miss. You would pick your engagement range based on it. It's kind of like sword fighting in that sense: you want to be close to the enemy, but far away enough that you can react to their attacks. The only reason that it wouldn't work this way would be if you had some incredible shields/armor/defensive measure of some kind that would protect you.

The future would likely include lasers as some kind of a weapon, which indicates to me that engagement ranges would be so massive that even light will have a significant amount of travel time.
My kid. A daily blessing.
Did they consider that maybe all the clients are NordVPN customers, i.e your data will come from a different users internet connection but another users data comes from you.

With that there world be no reason to have any hidden malware practice or similar, it _could_ even be in the terms of service if some of their products...

I mean it's true that there is a lot of bs going one but before claiming them for having hidden malware you should make sure they do, instead of just saying "that's the only way it's possible' even if it isn't the only way.
do not forget that from 1980 to 2019 we went from using pure sugar to using fructose as the sugar added in food products..fructose way higher in insulin resistance etc
Personally I am not convinced Pin is a good idea as it works now. Not because of this soundness bug but because it is too hard to understand. Just look at how much explanation is required in the manual and how large the code examples are.

Just for the record: yes, there are faster ways of finding the 10000th prime, but I use this example often as an example of a CPU-intensive task that can be spread over multiple threads easily.
