BTW, I also wonder if even the coaches see themselves for what they are. In which case it's disturbing to think that that someone can spend years meditating in an ashram in India and come out still knowing so little about themselves that they don't understand their dark motives.
I expect we're going to see more of this over the next 5-10 years, especially in the digital economy.

In the 70s, where a country was protectionist about cars, that probably meant fewer, worse and more expensive cars. Same for steel, dishwashing soap, telephones and shoes. Trabants instead of Toyotas, and less of them. Protectionism came with a high efficiency cost, and that meant poverty.

Today's digital economy can be very different. The relationship between incoming revenue and outgoing expenses is often arbitrary and that means efficiency is squishy. If Toyota had to operate on half it's current budget, Toyota would produce half as many cars. If Facebook had to operate on half (or less) of it's current budget, they "produce" the same social media (or advertising) "product."

The cost of protectionism in this environment is totally different to steel, cars and ikea furniture. If Facebook and twitter cease to exist, the "supply" of social media experienced by the public isn't a problem... at least not for long.

An ecommerce business is not a social media business, but it is further along that spectrum. So is a smartphone business, financial services business, online ad platform and many of these "digital monopoly" sectors.

The protectionist proposition is just more attractive, with the big, immediate, obvious costs removed.

Protectionism has always been popular, politically. It's nationalistic, and that's popular with the public. It puts a lot of policy making power in politicians hands and that's popular with politicians. Business tends to like it, domestically. Opening trade was, imo, and contrary to popular opinion, a forced hand. It was never ideological. Ideologically, it's unpopular. The "stable state" is protectionism.

Protectionism was just very costly in the 70s, 80s & 90s... so it died down some.
Both options are indeed plausible. I'd also add the "we don't get enough of those visitors that we care even taking the five minutes it would take to stop the tracking for those" or the "wow, stop tracking for a given crowd sounds diificult to achieve".
I wonder how much Trump really hates Bezos.

If Trump really does hate Bezos, he could go on TV and give a national address stating that Amazon has repeatedly been facilitating the illegal import of dangerous products from China. In addition, this has persisted despite repeated complaints. Therefore to protect innocent Americans, US Customs has seized all Amazon inventory at all warehouses and will be examining each item to check if it is authentic and passes the relevant safety standards.
I haven't had any wired earphones that didn't had a cable break within 2 years. I have used Sennheiser, Philips, Marshall and Shure. At least they all break within the warrantee period. The store where I get them doesn't bother with replacements and just returns me the money. That is how got new earphones every 1-2 years while only paying once.

From my experience wired earphones don't last unless you baby them.
Actually no. Thin, quickly rotating objects are an area where a lot of collision detections libraries fall down - the simpler algorithms just look at the position of the objects each frame, and two swords can easily pass through each other in the time between frames.

The problem is called tunelling, and though there are some features to deal with it, there aren't any ones that are simple, reliable and cheap.
Karrimor went bankrupt and the brand has been owned by Sports Direct for the last few years. Draw your own conclusions!

Arcteryx is still good, but expensive. Brasher, Snugpak, Arktis and Keela are all worth looking at. Alpkit is surprisingly good for the price. Paramo kit is decent.
Hi! I’m Johnny Average Consumer. Nice to meet you.

> Ok, 3.5" headphones are objectively: cheaper,

I don’t care. I’ll pay for convenience. This phone was a thousand dollars!

> simpler mechanically,

Why would I know or care?

> more reliable,

You may have a point here, but the convenience of wireless overrides this for me.

> easier to use,

What about that horrible wire? It gets tangled in my pocket and I rip my headphones out when I run.

> easier to connect to different devices,

I only have one device.

> never run out of battery or require charging,

I charge my AirPods Pro every few days. This is a non-issue.

> you can't lose 1/3 of them,

But I mangle the wire on my old headphones all the time, so this feels like a fair trade-off.

> and oh, yeah, they tend to sound better at the same price point.

I’m neither an audiophile nor particularly price conscious.

> A set of Shure SE315s will blow AirPods Pro out of the water on sound quality and noise isolation.

I’ve never heard of those and wouldn’t know where to buy them.

> Yes, wireless headphones are wireless. That's all though.

This is such a naive statement. I’m sorry, but it totally ignores everything that Average Consumer wants.

> None of this makes AirPods Pro a platform.

Not yet.

> They're neat wireless headphones. Among the best wireless headphones probably. But that's still all they are.

Once you’ve tried a pair of truly great wireless headphones you’ll never go back.

Yours,
Average Consumer
Back in the 70s and 80s, we got a lot of refugees and immigrants from the middle-east and south Asia. A ton of these basically did what the Chinese did - opened up restaurants (Kebab shops), barber shops, ethnic supermarkets, etc. Or they took on the jobs they could find, and stuck with 'em.

Modern immigrants and refugees, however, seem to have more education from their home countries. We got a wave of Syrian immigrants a couple of years ago, and many of these had degrees and careers before having to leave.

Now, a couple of years later, it seems that many of these are getting settled in with professional careers here.

It obviously depends on the country you come from, and your background, but I think the days of the classic immigrants are starting to end. 30-40 years ago some poor teacher or engineer pretty much HAD to start their own shop, to make a decent living - but now they can relatively fluidly continue with their careers - and thus get more freedom to pursue their own things, rather than getting pigeonholed into something else.
That would be bad for all kind of reasons, I don't like that kind of lack of transparency.
Creative Ideas with Plastic Bottles – Universe LOL
Interesting. UK Chinese restaurants used to be mainly Cantonese and spiciness wasn't something I associated with Chinese food. (I'm talking about the 90's or so - I'm in my late 40s)

I've recently become enamoured of Szechuan food and the places near to me seem reasonably authentic judging my the unfamiliar ingredients and the predominantly Chinese clientele.

And the food is spicy and numbing. I believe the combination is called "Mala" meaning "Hot + cold" which describes it well. Szechuan peppers don't provide heat - they do something very strange to one's taste receptors. Chewing on one is a very peculiar experience a bit like eating something akin to savoury popping candy with a kind of menthol cooling plus a kind of "citrus on steroids" feeling.
Same in Australia, but they're clearly a dying breed. They still putter on in the countryside and in far-flung suburbs where they and fast food are the only choice in town, but they're already extinct in the city centers (which have plenty of "real" Chinese options) and disappearing from gentrifying suburbs as well. The rise of food delivery has also likely been a net negative for them, since suddenly there are so many other options for delivery.
Through a friend I met a solicitor working at a firm that had a temporary endeavour with an acturial/accounting firm during peak GDPR advice.

As a British firm they specialised in advising non-European firms on whether to and from where to get GDPR advice.

In essence their process was to woo client with quick turnaround, get whatever books they could, determine how much money the client was making in the EU + a super rough estimate of likely growth, and return one of roughly a dozen canned answers.

Whole thing was taking them less than half a days work per client per two person team.

The kind of company that takes advice like that isn't likely to review the policy anytime soon.
I think you are right. I actually meant "центробежная сила", but blame Google Translate [1] which translated is as Coriolis Force (english is not my first language).

I thought it is a bit weird, but then I though thata US still uses imperial units, which 100x weirder, so I didn't check further. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Reflect for a moment on the system we currently use for big corporations which has a lineage roughly dating back to the East India Company in 1600. The reason we still use them is because they proved so devastatingly effective at draining wealth from exotic foreign lands that nobody could do without them.

The free market is best for maintaining general prosperity; it gives individual people the freedom to make what they think is the best choice. But there are probably military implications to letting key infrastructure for social and economic organisation enter the control of US corporate giants.
That's unfair to wired headphones. You could be at a bus stop and not bother to get the Airpods case out of your bag or pocket, put them in and then fiddle with your phone to start playing a podcast.
I agree they aren't a platform (yet?). I just don't understand why you're conflating this with an assertion that AirPods can't possibly offer any additional utility over a basic set of wireless headphones. I for one don't want to know what Shure offers or deal with adding microphones or whatever. I don't care about that. I just want to pay someone a sum of money I am okay with paying for a product that will do what I want. I don't even care if it doesn't sound quite as good as the best possible offering; for me part of the utility is not needing to think about all this stuff. (That doesn't mean I would blindly buy anything Apple makes or whatever my friends tell me, but in this case I felt pretty confident I'd be happy with my choice and I was.)

I'm glad you're happy with your setup and choices. It wouldn't work for me but it does for you. That's all that should matter to you.
Possibly because they have a more optimistic and less cynical view of the world than you.
And for the record. (this info is better available to Russian speakers).

Russia general Attorney Office re-opened the case in February 2019. We might hope for some documents surfacing.

There is a lot of living witnesses coming forward on Russian TV (and also a lot of freaks).

There are no ground for exhumation of the bodies yet. Exception being the Semyon (Alexander) Zolotaryov for whose grave no records had been found. The grave had been opened and two DNA expertise made. First inconclusive and second confirmed a relation.

However there are still doubts about Zolotaryov identity. Coroner report describes tattoos [ “DAERMMUAZUAYA” ] (which only zeks (prisoners and criminal element) had at the time in Russia). Zolotaryov being handsome PE teacher (and wearing sleeveless shirt on multiple occasions) is well remembered by many as not having any tattoos.

Some people remember Zolotaryov's golden tooth, the exhumated body had multiple steel implants instead.

There is many more doubts about Zolotaryov's identity. He had been seen in two places at the same time on multiple occasions, he had a traitor brother (possibly kept in Gulag), he used two names (Semyon and Alexander), he worked as simple PE teacher but at one of the forbidden cities in Siberia, he moved a lot around the country on some tourist expedition always close to USSR borders. His little son vanished at the time of his death (into foster care) and never surfaced despite being actively searched for 50 years by boy's mother.

We also know that Yuri Krivonischenko's father was no ordinary Joe. He had been constructor of several atomic power plants in Russia and Ukraine protected personally by Stalin from persecution.

Yuri Krivonischenko had been working at Mayak in Chelyabinsk-40, where a massive nuclear disaster, second in severity only to Chernobyl, occurred in 1957.

Krivonischenko quit his job at Mayak abruptly just before the trip. He had received letter denying him to quit his job (that being Russia in 1959). He disregarded the letter (perhaps not being afraid of consequences due to his father's position).

As for Kolevatov we know he graduated from the Mining and Metallurgical College in Sverdlovsk and was sent to Moscow to work at secret PO Box No. 3394 (NKVD laboratory "B", focused on creating protection against ionizing radiation). Then he transferred back to UPI in Siberia. This is very unlikely to be voluntary career move but more of pattern of being recruited and given some mission.

> Only Muscovites received work in Moscow, and finding a job for a nonresident in the capital meant pulling out a winning lottery ticket.

Only Kolevatov had his Finish knife registered at the police. (At the time laws of USSR made possesion of Finish knife a criminal offence)

Lately I listened to some talks of Jordan Peterson.

There is a lot to say about his work but there is always a recurring theme: take time to think things through.

And I believe in this time of constant distraction it is very hard to do this.

But when you do you order your thoughts and it becomes much easier to communicate your thoughts.
Sadly the site is blocked in the EU :(
The last place in the US that I've seen where you can still soundly do that type of Chinese restaurant, is in small towns / cities, under 10k-15k people roughly. The expectations are much lower there and people are happy to have variety in most any form.

You have to get under the Chipotle line approximately in terms of population required to support that type of chain. The trade-off of course is potentially less volume (although also less competition).
What a joke of an interpretation.

Participants in the alternate-day fasting group ate more than prescribed on fast days, and less than prescribed on feast days

So, the stated constraints weren't even properly applied.

Nevertheless, the alternate day fasting group lost 12% more weight. How is that not significant?
Considering Python’s Target Audience (2017)
I am a fan of ‘Mala’.

But it’s not true that it was banned. Growing Sichuan pepper tree was banned for some years due to quarantine rules. At least here in CA, as an Ag state grossing 45 billion/year, it was a risk. Sichuan pepper isn’t a true pepper but it’s of the citrus family. The Asian Psyllid and citrus greening is devastating to CA’s citrus crop and they clamped down hard on citrus crops.

The ban was lifted some years ago. Altho the quarantine still exists between counties in CA. Example: I can’t buy a citrus plant from Sonoma county and plant it in my garden in Solano county. And this is even more significant because our vineyards would be devastated and they bring in a lot of $$ even though citrus is relatively small in CA. Only 250k acres. It’s tiny compared to lettuce, strawberries, almonds and pistachios etc. each one of 3-5 billion dollars in state ag income.

Japanese sansho is similar. There are many Asian cultivars that give the numbing effect. But Sichuan peppers are my favourite.
Hi! Yes it indeed uses Spectre CSS which was a very positive experience as well. I actually donated a little to the author since it was exactly what I was looking for.

Fair, that was snarky. But your response of offering a photo of your windows 7 disk was worse. Your initial comment didn't make sense until you edited it, and there was no need to be so defensive about that. You could have just said you meant 7-10.

And it's not the same product any more than XP and Vista are the same product. A free upgrade is still an upgrade.
Apple could easily add eSIM to AirPods (probably makes more sense to put into care) to enable fully wireless life experience. Make them even smaller and it could challenge neuralink for a while (especially for Alexa generation).

> Dude, didn't I tell you to use regular expressions? Replace is obviously slower. I used it because it's easier to read then regexp. Rerun your experiment on that. I specifically mentioned that the regexp is the faster implementation. You completely ignored it.

Well, I ignored it because I thought that a) the actual string manipulation would form a negligible part of the total runtime b) regexp would not be faster (and the actual fast way to do it would be str.translate). Let's try it:

In [43]: pat = re.compile('[{}:]'); slong = str(long)
In [44]: timeit slong.replace('\{','[').replace('}',']').replace(':',', ')
8.06 ms ± 23.1 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100 loops each)
In [45]: timeit repl = pat.sub(lambda m: {"{": "[", "}": "]", ":": ", "}[m.group()], slong)
128 ms ± 5.94 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10 loops each)
In [54]: timeit eval(repl)
237 ms ± 3.92 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)
In [54]: timeit slong.translate({'{':'[', '}':']', ':': ','})
753 µs ± 27.1 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000 loops each)

Seems like this is about "cheating" in music.
That's the problem I have when making a toy project from scratch in order to learn a technique (be it databases, blockchain, or deep learning). I'm always wondering if I'm allowed to use such algorithm or clone such github repo. Or if copy/pasting an auxiliary function is cheating or not.

To avoid such moral dilemmas I try to come up with projects that solve a new problem (which also comes with its own set of challenges). And then use all the means at my disposal.

As a bonus it also keeps me motivated, since it has a shot at being a profitable business idea.
Ok, so this is actually a topic which I've been thinking about quite a lot over the years.

Back in college there was naturally a strong emphasis on writing your own code, after all, you're supposed to be learning. In the end, we had to roll out everything on our own - rarely, if ever, did we get to use libraries or frameworks.

They were extremely strict on plagiarism too, so you were constantly afraid of your code getting flagged (for whatever reason).

All of this really created a mindset that using libraries = cheating. Same with looking up help on the web.

It took me years to get rid of that mindset, simply because it didn't feel right.
Help the elderly, visit the lonely, feed the hungry.

Maybe it's because I'm in my midlife crisis, but as I think how much time I put into hobbies I wonder how much good I could have done in the same time.

But creating music, build scale models, growing cactuses, watching movies is a lot of fun. And people need time to relax and enjoy life.

Scott Manley did a video about this - turns out this is pretty energy intensive (asteroids are heavy & you are spinning up the whole thing) & not doable at all for many asteroid types due to insufficient material strength of the asteroid. Therefore, internal centrifuges in an asteroid cavern or spinning stations made from metal and/or advanced materials (wheels up to ONeil Island 3 design) are a much better bet than spinning asteroids.

Not sure about that part - especially for bigger (over-ear) headphones. My last 2 pairs of wired sets all died because the cable or connector inside the headphones got loose due to mechanical stress. Resoldering was not an option since it was not possible to open the case in a non destructive fashion.

At least that failure-mode does not exist in bluetooth headphones. And so far I had not an issue with my pair (but it's only a year old). But long term the battery might certainly become a potential issue.
