> The Scandinavian countries don't have a minimum wage either

That didn't mean that people were working several jobs to get by, not that they were paying to work. Maybe it was the easily accessible public welfare that forced employers to pay a living wage, or the large proportion of union membership.

Nobody — almost nobody — is a moustache-twirling villain who wants to eliminate privacy for its own sake. I doubt many people voted for a 10% devaluation of the pound either, yet since then I’ve seen different people looking at the same graph saying “it’s gone back up” and “going down is good”.

But…

…one of the big bug-bears of the newspaper and politicians whom I associate with Brexit is how the Human Rights Act stops the British criminal justice system from doing whatever it wants, including violating the privacy of anyone suspected of Being A Wrong’n.

I know Human Rights Act/European Convention on Human Rights/European Court of Human Rights are different things from the EU. I bet you know that too. Do your neighbours know it? Do they even know what the HRA says or do they say something about Abu Hamza?

Everyone I’ve seen who supports Brexit sees the EU as somewhere between “greedy and incompetent” on the low end and “the unholy spawn of Hitler and Stalin” on the high end (paraphrasing). I am aware that could be Nut Picking on my part, so I’m open minded about how wrong I could be about how other people think.

> I don't quite follow this line of reasoning. I must be misunderstanding something because Sarah is way smarter than I am. But it seems to me the diminishing returns in biological science are due discoveries having a smaller impact, not on the quality of the paper. i.e. a 1985 paper doesn't have more of an impact than a 2019 paper, but a paper released in 1985 has a bigger impact than that same paper released in 2019.

Less competition leads to less p-hacking, less pressure to publish or perish leads to greater risk taking in experiments, fewer proximate measures of impact lead to more confidence that results are real rather than an artifact of finding some intermediate measure that looks significant, and just random fashion leading to some areas going out of style that would actually have been fruitful if pursued further.
A Carbon Added Tax? Is that different from the carbon tax that is already applied in lot of places? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_tax

The wikipedia article says this:

> A carbon tax is also an indirect tax—a tax on a transaction—as opposed to a direct tax, which taxes income. A carbon tax is called a price instrument, since it sets a price for carbon dioxide emissions.[22] In economic theory, pollution is considered a negative externality, a negative effect on a third party not directly involved in a transaction, and is a type of market failure.

That sounds close to what you describe.
Kudos to the crew for trying to clean the windshield @ 8500 feet and ~200 knots, but I don't know how effective that would have been anyway.

I once drove through a thick locust swarm in the Kimberley region of Australia and my car was covered in a thick bug splat paste in very short order, to the extent that I lost forward visibility and had to pull over. Even after the swarm passed and I got out to try and clean the windshield by hand using a towel, the 'paste' just smeared thickly and I needed to scrape it off with a plastic knife and some water.

And that was stationary and standing outside the car on the side of a road. I can only guess at how futile it would be leaning out a window with one arm holding a (presumably) paper towel in blasting wind.

Really happy to see this as this top comment!
Right, which is exactly what I was saying, those societies mentioned as not having a minimum wage tend to have other mechanisms to either set an effective minimum or structures to help out. It's not like those other countries without minimum wages also give poorer people the finger in every other way, like the US does, and as I imagine would be the case in your (obviously) libertarian fantasy-land.

A number of studies have demonstrated cognitive improvement from playing video games: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/freedom-learn/201502...

> Improved visual contrast sensitivity. Successful treatment of amblyopia. Improved spatial attention. Improved ability to track moving objects in a field of distractors. Reduced impulsiveness. Overcoming dyslexia. Improved ability to engage in multiple tasks simultaneously. Increased mental flexibility. Reduction of mental decline that accompanies aging.

Mainstream culture doesn't really want to accept this, for...a variety of reasons. And I still limit my son's screen time, even with games, because too much turns him into a dickhead and other activities are also important. But I don't doubt that for challenging games, there are cognitive benefits.

I once needed to get some complex data out of a very restricted interface (syntax trees from a compiler plugin, where the only communication channel was stderr). The AST nodes provided a generic-programming interface, so I made a dead simple tree traversal which spat out the node type followed by each child, wrapped in a pair of parentheses to disambiguate structure.

Since these dumps turn out to be s-expressions, it seemed like a good idea to do further processing using a Lisp. I picked Racket (a Scheme) and it was great: parsing was a no-op, and the language made recursing through the structure and pattern-matching on the contents really simple.

The only downside was that I wrote a lot of "contracts" (dynamically-checked types), since I'm more comfortable in statically-typed languages (Haskell, StandardML, etc.). Turns out that Racket contracts are REALLY slow, so I ended up using a macro to discard them unless we were running the test suite :(

I'm 100% sure they weren't only qualified for VFR. Every airline pilot is instrument rated, and there are no places that will give you a 737 type rating without IR.

Even when flying on instruments you still land visually, unless the aircraft is cat iii / autoland capable, the crew is certified and current and the airport has cat iii procedures in effect. Probably they didn't have one of these and didn't want to land with zero visibility.

Depressurizing at 8500ft is a good choice, the cabin is normally pressurized to the equivalent of 8000ft outside air pressure. So what they did was basically open the outflow valves and passengers wouldn't have noticed a thing.
Apple won't be happy for sure. Among other things, If USB C becomes an standard , Apple would lose the revenues from MFi certification program. (Though I am not sure how much they make using this program alone.)

Anyhow the whole line of its natural so we should ignore it is crazy to me. Cancer is natural and yet people treat it.

Actually kanji only don't make sense in the context of only reading them. First learn how to speak and listen. Then as soon as you write a bunch of kanji you will realize how consistent the stroke order is and that there are a lot of repeating elements (loads and loads of boxes...). There are still some annoying exceptions but those are the minority. Learning the meaning of each kanji will make it very easy to connect the kanji with the intended word.
Really? Are you sure you don't have some other hosts/vpn based ad blocker? I surely don't use Firefox Preview for much, but I definitely saw an ad on Preview when I was using it yesterday. I forgot why I wasn't using it -- aside from the fact that Firefox normal is in the quick access icons -- and since my phone had just restarted I thought I'd give it a go. But I quickly saw an ad and thought "oh right" and went back to normal Firefox.
The article references language in section 1508 of NEPA to as a possibility of why the FCC might have needed to perform an environmental review; however, if you read the quoted language in context of the full section it seems to require a tortured reading of the section to apply it in this case.

I have a 9 and 4yo.
My 9yo watches youtube since she was 2 (on normal restricted mode) I have been teaching my kids (especially the older one) to identify by herself what is quality content that you can learn from Vs what is just dopamine inducing click bait. I think it is delusional to think you are achieving anything by blocking youtube. The earlier you teach your kids to create their own filters the better. They will be exposed to it at some point anyway. My kid learned a lot of stuff by herself already on you-tube. How to draw, how to braid her hair, its really an empowering thing for kids. I wish i had youtube when I was a kid. It just enables them to learn by seeing and imitating, except they are not limited to what they see at school or at home. She already has a great sense of what is a shit video full of non-sense or what might be violent or inappropriate for her and polices herself to stop watching straight away. (obviously there is some supervision involved. She is not allowed to watch yt on the infrequent occasions she is home alone).

The other day we were researching something on wikipedia together for one of her homework assignments and i closed a browser tab by accident, she immediately turned and pressed Ctrl+Shift+T. I asked her how did she learn that. You guessed it, on youtube. One day she was drawing on a online drawing app and she closed the tab by accident and was really upset about loosing the drawing she had made, so she went on youtube and searched how to recover lost tabs.
Does anyone know the name or ticker of the fund?
Should also mention that water requirements are generally much higher than needed to sustain an existing equivalent forest, as most desert soils have a high salt content near the surface, due to evapotranspiration drawing salts up and concentrating them, and lack of precipitation to ever flush/dilute them.

Not sure if any of these proposals plan to attempt to actively reduce soil (or aquifer) salt content, but for basins without sufficient excess water for an outflow, salt build up is a big problem. Managing the salinity requires more fresh water than what is needed to sustain the plane life.
I think we're on the same page here.

The only caveat I'd add is that it depends on the project and the team how many gates you want to add. A couple of super-senior devs building a small blog aren't going to need many gates. A team with 50 people, half of them juniors, working on a financial app already in production - they're going to need a lot of gates.

As with all these things, ask the team if they're adding value. If they are great, and is there anything else that would help? If they're not, and especially if they're unnecessarily slowing things down, then don't do them. Don't use a code style checker because somebody in a meetup said you should.
So, Trillian / Jitsi ?
I received an injection in my back to get the initial pain under control and then let inflammation go down over time. To prevent further issues I stopped playing basketball and spend more time doing yoga, spin, strength training and jiu-jitsu. My doctor and I posited it was the impact from the running/jumping/cutting in basketball that led my initial problem.

Maybe to the first one, Big definite no to the second one- quantum physics, chaotic systems (as in Chaos theory) and the fact that we still don't know all the rules of nature are theoretical limits to your idea.
Might want to update your profile then, it still says London.

What do we know about Singapore? It has masses and masses of public housing, so people are looked after in a way that doesn't happen in the US. The US is very keen to push this sort of thing on employers - see also health insurance.

It's a different model and I would agree probably a worse one, but either way it's the state ensuring people have their basic needs met.

Is there a single reference you can provide from the exhaustive entries?

I didn't think so.

Though no doubt not as thorough and exhaustive as your putative literature search, this humble reader was able to discover at least a few NIH publications which suggest that the issue is not completely settled. Viz.:

"This review explored the effects of ice treatment upon pain, swelling and range of movement after acute soft-tissue injuries. The authors found little evidence that adding ice to compression increased its effectiveness." [1]

"The aim of this study was to examine the effects of icing soon after muscle contusion injury on subsequent inflammation, angiogenesis, revascularization, and myofiber regeneration. Our study is the first to demonstrate that icing delayed and/or attenuated the expression of proangiogenic factors and changes in vessel volume in regenerating muscle in the first 7 d after injury. Despite these differences, capillary density and the cross-sectional area of myofibers did not differ significantly between the icing and sham groups. These findings suggest that, although icing may mildly suppress inflammation and some aspects of angiogenesis/revascularization, these effects are not sufficient to retard muscle regeneration after contusion injury."[2]

"The use of cryotherapy in the management of acute soft tissue injury is largely based on anecdotal evidence. Preliminary evidence suggests that intermittent cryotherapy applications are most effective at reducing tissue temperature to optimal therapeutic levels. However, its efficacy in treating injured human subjects is not yet known."[3]

I've heard from a couple of sources that it is possible to land in zero visibility by manually following the localiser to the ground. Only from light piston types though.

Doing it in a commercial airliner full of passengers would absolutely be a last resort.

Christ what a low bar. That's like having your treatment group do jazzercise while the control watches TV, and then concluding that jazzercise is the most effective form of physical activity.

Your control group should be performing some sort of non-gaming intellectual exercise: reading a passage and answering some questions, having a group discussion on a serious topic, etc.
Right, but then if 'Brain training' games are shown to be no different from other games that dont have that label then the label is still revealed to be bullshit.
Unless you're managing the webserver process yourself, Amazon has the exact same level of control over who can visit your website as Cloudflare.

When you're managing the webserver yourself, they can still filter by IP as they run the network. With a bit more effort (but this feels unlikely to be happening wide-scale), they can still transparently MITM your connections as the private keys are still stored on their infrastructure.
>I can’t help but think a blind landing is safer than depressurising a cabin full of passengers.

We're talking about 1000ft above Mexico city amount of altitude, here, not Mt. Everest. Any inherent risk from that is below the threshold of what's quantifiable. Skydivers routinely jump from 10,000ft.
