n=1: 10,000 IU of vit D3 before 10am significantly improves my sleep. Gwern has some of his own relevant n=1 experiments described on his site.
Not true at all.

The ISO20022 RA (Swift) has been involved since the beginning as have numerous banks from Europe and LOTS of non-card payment methods are represented through their associations or scheme participants.

Part of the challenge is that the standard needs implementors to participate and contribute use cases and designs and users and merchants that use these systems to implement and test them.

The PSD2 ecosystem is also still quite nascent so even though we've had Open Banking UK, STET, Berlin group etc engaged they are still figuring out how their systems will work. These APIs are simply a channel by which their systems will ultimately be used.

I've seen some very good Open Banking demos using the PR API and PH API but they aren't in the market yet.

I'll also confess it is a bit of a chicken and egg situation. They won't prioritize support for these APIs until they see adoption by browsers and up to now Edge and Firefox have been slow to adopt. Edge is now Chromium based and has inherited all of the work already done to implement so that has changed overnight and I believe Firefox are keen to progress but just need to get this work on into their pipeline.
I think I am trying to save locality by giving this split, entangled particle an identity. To the split particle, it's the rest of the world that's split and entangled. So when it collapses, there is no faster than light travel from its perspective. Basically extending the concept of locality to allow for being in multiple places at the same time, relative to your perception of the world.

Basically, trying out the thought experiment where, say the universe is two photons, and one splits, can we model it so that each photon thinks it is the other one who split? The same way general relativity did for rotating bodies.

But, entanglement isn't always just a single particle that splits. An electron can be entangled with a proton and such too. So probably this approach is silly. And physicists seem to be fine with ftl correlation so long as no communication takes place, so probably there is no problem to begin with.
> with a bunch of disinterested contractors

Contractor here who was a first tech hire for a startup once. I've seen more disinterested employees than contractors in the UK. Employees tend to leave at 1700 sharp, while contractors often the last one who shuts the lights off. You can't let go employees with a 2-week notice, so guess who's going to work around the clock when the project is behind schedule?

How to stop an iceberg in its tracks – News Northeastern
I don't find that argument very convincing. I don't know if Balrog's have wings, but I do know they fall off high stuff a lot.

His analysis of the line, "it was LIKE a great shadow, in the middle of which was a dark form, of man-shape maybe yet greater" is deeply flawed. He argues that since a simile was used to describe the Balrog's darkness (and it has darkness), then the simile used to describe its wings means it has wings. Tolkien says "like a shadow" because it's dark like a shadow but it's not a shadow because shadows don't have physicality like the Balrog's darkness. We're clearly talking about a supernatural phenomenon that the english language can only describe via simile. Tolkien's abandonment of simile in later passages is to simplify the language. Repeating the exact same simile over and over drags the writing down.

Here's what we do know about balrogs, their essential characteristics are darkness, fire, speed, strength and magic. Flying is not an essential characteristic. It's never mentioned directly, and description of their rapid movement tends to be very metaphorical. We also know that if they do fly, they don't fly like dragons or eagles because they played no part in the conflict between the dragon and eagles. Balrogs were tossed aside with all of Morgoth's unflying creations. Only flying dragons specifically posed any threat to the Valar, and that was because of their flight.
I might be willing to pay a monthly cost instead of buying games individually if the catalog was comprehensive. The problem I've seen with services like PS Now is that I'm not interested in many games, and there's always a bunch of good ones missing. I'd probably be happy with a service that had all games but you picked like 3 or 4 a month you were going to play and then waited til next month for more pics.

> Up to 3,000 have died from COVID so far, mostly in Hubei. Hubei has a population of ~60 million, which is ~18% of the US population. About 60,000 people died from flu-related illness last year in the US. The same proportion in Hubei would be 10,800. So it seems it is demonstrably less harmful than flu.

How do you come to that conclusion? This is not an apples to apples comparison. You’re looking at the annual deaths in the US and comparing them to 2 months of deaths mostly in Wuhan, and those Wuhan deaths were largely curbed due to extremely draconian policies enacted to slow the spread.

If you want to begin to try to compare annual deaths to Wuhan deaths so far, then if ~3,000 people died in 2 months in Wuhan, then you’d have 18,000 deaths in Wuhan in a year assuming a linear distribution (which has its flaws). But that’s still not apples to apples, since that’s with the extreme mitigation policies that are in effect in Wuhan, and seasonality comes into play for the flu over the span of a year (more deaths in the colder months) but we don’t know how seasonality will impact coronavirus yet. If Coronavirus is to become widespread and uncontainable, then it is still ramping up to whatever “normal” levels you’d expect to see (if it becomes a recurring seasonal bug like the flu), and that’s also assuming that Wuhan’s absolute death count isn’t impacted by its total population size —- there’s a larger population in the US, and different healthcare practices, population density, travel patterns, authoritarian-draconian policies, all with positive and negative effects onto the R0.

I don’t see how you can definitively say that the flu is demonstrably more harmful. But it may be helpful to say that the flu makes things worse, since they have similar symptoms and not everybody has their flu shots. A big threat to mitigation would be maxing out the healthcare infrastructure. If more people got their flu shots then less people would be showing up to the hospital with flu-like symptoms that aren’t covid-19.

I'm pretty sure the API that changed the window transparency was documented in 2K, because I distinctly remember reading how to do it on MSDN after first seeing one of those in an app.
I like the idea but I stumbled on a classical CSS problem: wasn't able to center an icon. There were few alignment options, but I might have missed them, maybe they were in another place than I looked.
If this API is anything like the input type="date" feature used to "solve" date pickers, then its going to be a nightmare. I'm better off creating a simple HTML form and posting it via AJAX than to have to learn why and how a payments API exists in the browser. This API should be killed. WE HAVE HTML, CSS, AND JAVASCRIPT TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. LEAVE US DEVELOPERS ALONE WITH YOUR NONSENSE OVERTHINKING FEATURE-CREEPING ADDICTION TO ADD CRAP INTO OUR BROWSERS!!!!!!!

Gross.
I believe Carl Sagan played with the idea for a fictional story, but never got beyond what he explored as non-fiction (primarily, to my mind in the book The Dragons of Eden). Also, you can argue some of Stephen Baxter's books explore the ideas, though Stephen Baxter has tried to be both historically accurate enough that he generally doesn't use fantasy terms like dwarves/elves, and smart enough to not fall into stereotype traps that you could easily point to in his descriptions of other hominids. (It's a running theme in among other things his Manifold books, and probably most interesting in hints and tertiary themes in the Long Earth young adult fiction he cowrote with Terry Pratchett, where the term elves is actually used, though not entirely based on hominids known to this Earth.)

My very lay understanding is that in the cross-over period where early Sapiens lived with other hominids you could draw some parallels to Neanderthals as dwarves (or sometimes perhaps trolls) to Sapiens viewpoints at the time and in that case Denisovans might be elves.

If you want to throw in bad pop-genetics, there'd be more "half-dwarves" among European descendants and more "half-elves" among Asian descendants, from that viewpoint.

It doesn't work in the binary fashion you described. Low sun angles have two results: Cosine effect and greater atmospheric absorption. The cosine effect decreases the watts per square meter you receive, if your skin is not normal (90 degrees) to the incident sunlight. Greater atmospheric absorption means more UVB is absorbed by the atmosphere before it gets to you, but some still gets through, as anyone who has ever been sunburned in the winter can attest. Higher altitudes and snow on the ground both increase the amount of UVB you receive, even when the sun is low.
It may still be open source, but it is not free software anymore, at least for MS3 software and hardware.
This is not actually where overhead really goes to. A lot of overhead simply pays for departments that don't bring in money (eg humanities, some social sciences) and I think that's fine too. But let's not say that an experimental lab with ~10 people and ~2000sqft that pays >$1mm a year in overhead spends it on "office space, internet, electricity, utilities..." because that is disingenuous (btw those numbers reflect the reality of the lab i got my phd in). Most overhead comes from expensive experimental labs (hard science + engineering + medicine).

Ha that line is really blurry sometimes. I told my kid that I fly to work, thinking he'd do that sideways glance nose-scrunch thing and realise it was a fictional story quite easily: instead he got worried that I shouldn't fly too high.

I suggested I could tunnel like a mole instead, but apparently that's ridiculous!

My expectation is that the PSPs will help to hide the complexity from merchants that don't have the resources to use the (admittedly complex) API directly.

e.g. Stripe already have support for PR API in their SDK
This is being addressed currently. There is now a bundled into the Clojure distribution package manager called "tools.deps".

It currently have alpha support for Windows. They are still ironing out the quirks: https://github.com/clojure/tools.deps.alpha/wiki/clj-on-Wind...

You no longer need local Maven repo, because tools.deps supports local dependencies, you can basically just depend on local folders. It also can depend on git repos.
The dark (or not so dark) layer is quite superficial, not far from surface. But the vit D production happens deeper in. For sun rays to get there, that layer must be light-colored.

Sure, some photons do get reflected, but the benefit is from those photons that get deeper into the skin.
