IF you want a wildcard then yes Let's Encrypt only offers that for DNS proof of control. You can do two tricks here which let you greatly reduce the scope of the power granted to a machine getting the certificate and then avoid that machine having to be the machine which wants the certificate.

1. Use CNAME to make different DNS server hierarchy own the ACME proof of control. A CNAME DNS record can be permanently added to your real site, telling Let's Encrypt that it should ask DNS for a different name instead, and only that name needs to be writeable by the periodic renewal process. You can use this to pass DNS challenges for a domain where actual DNS changes take six weeks and a dozen people's signatures, because you only need one change once, not once per renewal. You should find documentation explaining this, or you can ask Let's Encrypt's community site to help if you explain your specific situation.

2. CSR re-use. Certificate Signing Requests don't have timestamps inside them. By default Let's Encrypt's popular Certbot client mints brand new key pairs for every renewal and so it needs fresh CSRs, but you needn't do that. Mint keys once when a server is created, produce a CSR for the certificate you'll want, and then re-use that CSR in a machine which just does the renewal periodically, the actual servers can fetch their renewed certificate from that machine or wherever, the certificate is public so it doesn't matter and the keys haven't changed they just need the renewed certificate for the same keys.
Every time BMI is mentioned someone brings up this point. I sometimes wonder if it is mostly an opportunity to humblebrag about how much time they spend in the gym and "Dude, I am 6' tall, weigh 240 lbs and have 3% body fat but the BMI says I'm obese. See, the BMI is bullshit."

Yes, there are individuals for whom the BMI metric is spectacularly bad, a modest percentage for whom it is simply poor, but those people already know they aren't obese. At a population level, the BMI metric is just fine.
Definitely a combination of current ML (basically fancy nonlinear regression to MLE targets) with symbolic reasoning. Either alone are insufficient.

Symbolic reasoning is basically learning a lot of "if-then" statements and chaining them to make inference. Causal reasoning consists of defining conditional dependencies of current state on past state, then extrapolating based on the encoded assumptions. It requires some notion of object relation both in a literal sense as well as subtler relationships. Regression techniques are being ham-fisted to fit these roles but the popular ML of today is still just pattern recognition and cannot be called "reasoning" per se.

I don't work directly in this space but I see it following closely the architecture of the human brain for a while before departing to more distilled forms of knowledge management structures.
- at work ask for a task outside of your normal job responsibilities / something different to try and change your thinking

- find someone to share / bounce your concerns with or simply to hangout with

- volunteer to a kitchen soup or some community event ( you will see with your own eyes real pain and struggle)

- visit a church or a social group therapy where people share their stories and find methods to help or recommend help to one another

- buy a camper and work remotely. Park that thing near a lake or water, sunset or sunrise close to a water scenery helps you think and appreciate little things in life that we take for granted due to the craziness that takes most of our daily routine.

Good luck mate. Seek help. It’s out there, you just have to find it.

I think it would be pretty cool too. For those times when you are out of range of a tower and in range of each other, you could chat up your pals out at the campsite or whathaveyou.

And if you and your ilk load some kind of meshing or 'router app' on these advanced (non-hobbled) handheld radios, you might have a better chance of getting in touch with that out of range person by routing packets across radios until you're at the internet. Even if you limit the bandwidth to text messages for this feature, it could be a real lifesaver for folks needing to get emergency messages out.
We actually do have dynamic databases (Snowflake has native VARIANT type which is automagically sharded internally into columns so it's processed in pretty much the same way as "normal" relational data).
I can see how it’s not obvious, but the parentheses at the end are the answer to that (or maybe they were edited in after your question). You can use TLS without ciphering but with signatures to authenticate messages.
I wasn't thinking of IPFS, rather a way to have a proof-of-stake storage system doing actually useful work. I think I've seen at least one, though I'm not sure of it's current state.

How does this change when functions accept big singletons like "World"? At some point you'd have to break it down into smaller objects - at which point you may as well introduce proper OO factoring and design.

I do see the point though - global state is easy to mutate by accident in a function that should otherwise not need to mutate global state (say, a function like "def apply_gravity(cur_velocity)" should not be able to accidentally change the gravitational constant or the object position).

The example with the Turtle library is an interesting one, but I'd argue the problem is that the function contracts are not fully defined, rather than a problem with global state. A function needs to clearly specify what state it expects and what state it will produce - whether that state is in the ether (global) or whether the state is explicitly provided as a big object. For example, a function to draw a letter might logically be expected to place the cursor at the right edge of the current character (facing right, say), so that another function can advance the x-position for the next character. If it's contractually specified then there shouldn't be an issue.

You're mixing BMI with body fat percentage. BMI is literally just weight over height squared
I really think it has less to do with that—though not nothing to do with that—and more to do with economic and convenience factors that lead to more people choosing very cheap and awful food in excess, consistently, while not getting any exercise
This estimate is broadly consistent with that published last week by a Imai et. al. [1] That previous work looked at foreign cases up to 18th January, and concluded the number of contagious cases in Wuhan as of that date is likely in the range of 1000 to 9700.

This paper gives estimates of Wuhan-area cases ranging from 7600 to 43600 for January 26.

A doubling time of 6 days was estimated for the pre-lockdown phase of the Wuhan epidemic. [2] That gives a factor of 2.5 increase in cases between Jan. 18 and 26.

Unfortunately the newer estimated case numbers are somewhat higher than 2.5 times as many; probably the older number were too low.

Note the estimated rate of increase is much LOWER than one would naively get from looking at the officially confirmed case numbers. Confirmed cases have been more than doubling every two days. This growth rate of confirmed cases is really the rate of increase of China's capability of carrying out confirmation labwork.

There exported case research shows there is still a huge backlog of unconfirmed cases to be identified in the Wuhan area.

My hypothesis would look something like this:

> The amount of fructose in the Standard American Diet (SAD) is a major culprit in obesity and obesity related diseases.

> The body metabolizes fructose differently than other carbohydrates. Fructose has become the default cheap carbohydrate additive for food, and it is found in nearly every packaged food in America. Human bodies have not evolved to handle these levels of fructose.

1. Therapy, therapy, therapy. If it's not helping, change therapists until it does.

2. Find activities that help you recharge. It took me a long time to understand that "having fun" and recharging are not the same thing.

3. Look into the possibility of hiring a personal assistant to manage things like cooking and laundry, at least until your symptoms are more manageable.

4. Someone else recommended "Feeling Good" by David Burns. It's an excellent book that I always recommend, but I don't know if it's up to the task of helping with PTSD. Go into it understanding that it will help with a lot of your problems, but probably not all of them.

A quick search on the history of High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) in the food chain has a timeline that works. This is where I'd start:

> The first corn syrup in the United States was produced in Buffalo, New York, in 1866. A major breakthrough occurred in 1967 with the patenting of an enzymatic process to convert dextrose to fructose, a 6 carbon sugar that is sweeter tasting than sucrose.

High fructose corn syrups was developed in the 1970s. Americans began producing starch sugar from cornstarch instead of potato starch. Its cheaper than table sugar.

In 1971, food scientist in Japan found a way to produce a cheaper sweetener from corn. HFCS began to appear in frozen foods to protect against freezer burn and in vending machine products to preserve taste.

In the 1980s, both Coke and Pepsi switched from a fifty-fifty blend of sugar and corn syrup to 100 percent high fructose corn syrup, saving them 20 percent in sweetener costs. [0]

Strongly disagree. The reason they prefer Docker is that nobody wants to read your bash script. They want a standardized set of tools they can familiarize themselves with using curated examples and a large community.
It’s pretty hard to cover up the dimension of an outbreak after it gets outside your borders. There are many things you can use to infer what the real dimension is likely to be.

That being said, it’s also entirely likely that even the Chinese known exactly how many cases there are:

1. Cases aren’t detected unless you feel sick enough to go to the doctor

2. Even if you go to the doctor, the symptoms have to be strong enough for the doctor to order the specific test. This is a bigger factor in the early days. After the alert is given they likely start testing everyone, at least until the outbreak is large enough that it becomes moot

3. The big question (that I haven’t seen answered yet) if how long the assymptomatic incubation period is. In other words how long can you spread it before realizing you’re sick.

In the end, the factor that will determine how large of a global outbreak were actually dealing with is now transmissible it is from person to person. From what I’ve seen all foreign (outside China) cases have been traced back to China, meaning that person to person transmission isn’t a large factor yet. If/when it does become a factor that’s when the real containment “game” starts...
I've noticed while driving in the US that American highway exits seem to be designed differently than those in the UK. The rightmost lane of three-lane highways will often become the exit lane, so if you stick to the rightmost lane you'll frequently need to switch lanes to your left to stay on the road. In the UK, in contrast, the exit lane is usually the new lane, and you have to switch lanes to get into it.

So instead of constant lane switching, use the middle lane for going straight ahead, and the leftmost lane for passing.

Whether capex is better or worse than opex from any particular vantage point is so heavily context dependent that I’m unsuited to provide a general overview, but it is easy to see how it could matter when you compare expenses attributable to salary vs expenses attributable to the purchase of real property in much the same way it matters to you as an individual whether you used your finances to buy a house or pay someone to mow your lawn.

in 1990, we still had a lot of manufacturing jobs. I think the "idle desk jobs" still makes sense. Probably demographics is more important though. For example, median age is going up. In fact, a lot of the things we complain about today can be at least partially attributed to that.
I agree, these are also often problems with left-wing populist governments. The reason I was talking about right-wing populist governments is that is what Turkey has.

I live in suburbs near Portland, OR, and paid $330K for a 3 br, 2.5 bath, 1850 sq foot house near the end of 2015. Meanwhile, in Palo Alto, I've seen 1 br, 1 bath, 700 sq ft condos on sale for over $1.5M.

It's pretty ridiculous.
I know. I was responding to this overall thread, which started:

> Unfortunately for the article's point, despite a brief moment of viability, even human+computer chess teams are now far outclassed by computers alone.

and it then continued:

> The top Go player in the world retired saying that he thought he was almost perfect, but then a "superior being" showed him he wasn't even close. I doubt there is a human on the planet that can improve the strength of the best AI at Go.

I was making the point that, even though there have been AI advances since the article was written about chess, defeating its immediate point about chess, these advances have also come with their own caveats. ("Oh this technique that beats chess perfectly can't hope to beat Go". "Oh this technique that beats Go perfectly can't hope to beat StarCraft".) These caveats serve to reinforce this article's broader point - that AI has limitations, that humans can complement, and vice versa.

If your "physics" don't include drag, rolling resistance, or conversion losses, I'm forced to agree.

However, regenerative braking (like any other energy conversion process) is not lossless, and it turns out that low-speed, high torque acceleration is where they're least efficient [1]: required torque increases with the incline you're trying to accelerate up. And if you're staying at low speed, you'll be stuck in this low-efficiency regime, and you won't recoup much going back downhill.

As per the tradition [0]:

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.

“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky.

“I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied.

“Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky.

“I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.

Minsky then shut his eyes.

“Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.

“So that the room will be empty.”

At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

A fun hypothesis I've heard with absolutely no backing whatsoever: it's psychiatric drugs, which were only really widely prescribed starting in the 1990s.

Depressed people eat less; people with anxiety have higher metabolisms due to constant adrenal activation; people with ADD fidget more (= non-exercise activity thermogenesis). People treated for these conditions all gain weight as a result. It's enough to create a pretty big statistical bump.

But roughly speaking, right-wing political philosophies stress ethnicity, traditional culture and usually religion, whereas left-wing political philosophies are universalist and based on Enlightement philosphy.
