Suspected case here with similar symptoms a few months ago. Eating felt so weird. It's really just sad and bizarre, like your brain is almost reflexively telling you you're eating something inedible because you're not getting the taste and smell feedback of "this is food". I was so relieved when both senses started gradually coming back.
As the other commenter pointed out, the Falcons have some innovation in there. But Starship's has even mroe. It uses SpaceX's new Raptor engines, which are full-flow CH4/LOX engines. No full-flow staged combustion cycle (FFSCC) rocket engine has ever been used to deliver a payload to LEO (or even used in an actual rocket at all, AFAIK). This is somewhat surprising (and indicative of the difficulty of manifesting the design), given that the design has been around since at least the 1960s and has a lot of benefits over other rocket engine designs.

In that regard, FFSCC rocket engines actually remind me of LFTR-type MSRs:

1. been around for decades

2. clear benefits to the design

3. hasn't managed to be used viably

So I would say Starship + Super Heavy is definitely a riskier investment than NASA has made with Falcon.
> Unions work like a democracy.

The problem is that "other things" come out of it too. Being required to pay someone for an hour of time to vacuum the carpet around your display at a trade show or plug in a lamp (because you're not allowed to do it yourself). People being threatened with physical violence (or actually being subject to it) because they don't agree with the union. These things do happen and, to many people, they are a serious concern.

> There's some shortcomings but the overall outcome is beneficial to the people being represented

That is a matter of opinion, and also ignores what's best for society as a whole (which also matters to a lot of people). Just because something is best for the workers doesn't mean it's the best choice for a functioning society.

I'm not arguing for or against unions here, just point out that they're not all rainbows and birthday cakes. Deciding to consider the facts and come up with your own opinion doesn't mean you're a bad person, or irrational.

This is less known fact, but few years (15+) ago Intel hire Elbrus design team:
https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/56406-intel-hires-elbrus...

"On Monday, Intel representatives confirmed reports in Russian-language newspapers that the American chip giant had hired approximately 500 engineers and related staff from the Elbrus Moscow Center of Sparc Technology, a state-sponsored design house in Russia. Some of the engineers will be hired away from Unipro, a related company. The new hires include Boris Babayan, Alexander Kim and Ivan Bolozov, said to be the architects of the E2K processor, a failed “Itanium-killer”."

And same happens in past too:

Tell HN: Google uses a Chrome-specific feature to highlight text on any website
I searched for something and clicked on a Quora search result that highlighted the search result text. I was surprised because Quora can’t know what the search result looked like and so doesn’t know which part of the text to highlight.

I looked in the URL bar and saw this: https://www.quora.com/Why-do-I-see-numbers-and-not-contacts-names-In-WhatsApp#:~:text=If%20your%20contacts'%20numbers%20are,Go%20to%20Account%20%3E%20WhatsApp.

Note the #:~:text= part. If you use it with Chrome on any other website you can highlight any text:

https://www.ycombinator.com/#:~:text=Y%20Combinator
http://paulgraham.com/useful.html#:~:text=useful

I can’t find any documentation on this feature. Google appears to append it to the anchor when you click on a search result in Chrome.
Every website is different, but if a single bot is bringing your website to a crawl, you should probably start caching a few things and working on performance.
I completely agree. Also the automatic updates which potentially just close an open session including unsaved files is not something that helps trust. Windows has become less transparent and much more controlling, actively ignoring or overriding user preferences, and I don't know why I should use a software like that, not to mention pay for the "privilege" of being messed with.

It is a minor problem to me. But it’s a step backwards on a machine that is 5 years newer. It’s enough to add to my annoyance.
> First, it's impossible to get a terminal screen without anti-aliasing. My favorite font, IBM VGA8, is unreadable when anti aliased, which is a real shame, because I've been using it since the 90s, and I prefer non-anti-aliased fonts on terminals.

That's a great font, but unless you're using it at 15 (16?) point exactly, it's a mess. For those places, I use Nouveau IBM instead. It tries to recreate the shapes with nice vectors (like someone used one of those pixel art upscalers), instead of emulating pixels in the font.

Yeah I think the Google trolls came through last night.
These protests and riots are happening precisely because the alternative mechanisms such as the one you are suggesting have failed time and time again.

Here in NYC we have a spineless mayor who has completely given up even attempting to exert civilian oversight on the police since 2014. They have free rein to do whatever they want and to "self-police" themselves, and because of the union violent cops are never fired.
You’re quoting the Old Testament. The “lesser laws” of which were superseded by the “higher law” instituted by Jesus.
Maybe I misunderstood what you meant when you wrote "Government says one thing so we're compliant, and then does another when it suits it". I never said people don't have the ability to change how the government enforces compliance, simply that they are the ones who do.

Many people have died at the hands of other rioters as a result of the protests.

I'm not saying that people needed to loose their eyes, but they were out after curfew which was enacted because they wanted people to go home due to the violence.
Thanks, have worked out so far.

Jeff Sparrow is writing about the permanent changes the previous few weeks have made to Australia, which at least at the time i am posting, is having a gentler crisis that the US - I don't think we really know how big or permanent those changes are yet.

His essay refers back to the time of the new deal, the depression and the world wars. These are terrible times, but they are times that provoke extraordinary responses, and afterwards the stories of those responses and people that inspire or horrify become the landmarks on our mental map of the political world.
Communists, anarchists, nazis, confederates, (labor) unionists, civil rights activists, feminists, groups of all political orientations orient themselves against foundation myths of times of great conflict, and the great figures and the great dynamism of those times.

No-one sane wants to be living in times of fear and terror, but you understand the other half of it, the attraction to the myths of those times, the passion to tear up the political map, to create new myths and reassemble it with a new topology.

It seems all my life I've been hearing and half believing that we were tumbling into the early first days of that new great chaos, but then I would step outside, walk amongst people, feel sun and rain on my face, and slip into the patterns of my daily responsibilities and it would seem like the crisis was not going to come today.

But now I'm away from the city, my state is still easing out of lockdown, and I'm viewing the world through the lens of twitter storms and subreddit rages. I think many of us are feeling that as much as our previous daily routines, and their casual social contact were an antidote against the whatever insanity we encountered on the net that was close enough to our perspective on reality that in could sneak its fingers, in through our personal Overton windows, they were also a dead weight, that bound us to tradition and patterns, not because we loved them, but because they had been negotiated long ago. I know we're not freed from those patterns but now feels like that moment half waking from a dream, where it not certain which reality has the strongest hold on you.
You could say the same thing about the September 11 terrorist attacks. They killed only a tiny number of Americans, so why even care?

Similarly, the 40,000 who die each year from traffic fatalities are only some miniscule number of Americans, so why care about those deaths either?

Riots are a classic coordination problem [1]. Peaceful protests, of course, can use official means of communication. The hard part is how to coordinate violence and looting, which would otherwise preempted by law enforcement. The linked essay is a fascinating read on the topic.

Probably not very good. Personally I always use a Magic Trackpad 2 so I no longer have to take this into consideration.
My intuition in the 90's was that it won't matter to me, and it's been 100% right.
I'm checking out the list for final products in Spain, particularly for ventilators, and while Hersill is in the list Temel is not. Both of them have agreements with other local companies like Escribano and Power Electronics respectively to ramp up production, but there are many companies in that list that I have no clue what they do. And AFAIK those are the only two local companies that design and manufacture ventilators.
Yeah both are good. Basically anything that forces you to prove a lot of theorems that look trivial (but are not easy to prove) is good because they build up a system from small theorems. Back in school we use Rudin for Real Analysis and it's a good textbook. But I'd recommend taking a class if you are still in university because Math is a bit tricky for self study IMO. If you already graduated maybe follow some MOOC.

I'd actually recommend Number theory if you want more fun or if you are interested in Cryptography which is related to CS. Elementary Number Theory throws you tons of questions that even a toddler can understand but you might hit bam head on walls for nights to prove them.

two cops in Atlanta were fired because of excessive force this week. Against POC... Both themselves were black.

Cops have a hive mind. It's more important to be part of the blue fam, than it is to have any loyalty or respect for your own race. They're willing to hurt, maim, kill their own rather than be seen as week among their peers.

So, it doesn't matter what color the officer is (there's only one color of cop: Blue), it matters what color the perp is.....

Here's the video that goes w/ the atlanta cops:

N=43 (17 given vitamins vs 26 not)

Highlights:

"Significantly fewer DMB patients than controls required initiation of oxygen therapy subsequently throughout their hospitalization (17.6% vs 61.5%, P=0.006)."

"DMB combination in older COVID-19 patients was associated with a significant reduction in proportion of patients with clinical deterioration requiring oxygen support and/or intensive care support. This study supports further larger randomized control trials to ascertain the full benefit of DMB in ameliorating COVID-19 severity."

So while this is too small of a study to do anything but call for bigger studies, its additional evidence that vitamin deficiency may play a role in COVID-19 severity. Since taking a basic multi-vitamin is good anyway, it seems wise to do that.

No, I don't think you do get it. Originally, Google's experiment, the reason they came into existence, was to organize the world's knowledge and sell advertising to people who were seeking it, on the idea that you must be interested in something if you're searching for it. That's like the New York Times.

Now, Google seems to be trying to learn the details of all the people, and they're selling access to that. Their mission seems to have flipped.

Why the "government"? I don't think the police automatically defend the interests of the currently-elected politicians. In the absence of distinguishing evidence, I assign much higher priors to them defending their own interests.

The point is, that if you do shower money on TSMC for the next 15 or 20 years, you won't get your own fab built. You give money to someone else to get short-term advantage, at the price of not having long-term capacity & control yourself. You basically co-finance R&D that in the end will get owned by someone else.

No, your new fab won't have the market like TSMC today; but so won't TSMC tomorrow, when the market splits.

The same thing was Intel vs. rest of the fabs; TSMC made it. Just like Intel couldn't keep themselves on the top forever, the same will happen to TSMC.

Even if we ignore all that, and treat everything as a point mass, it's still believable, I think.

The earths radius is very approximately 6.4km. So 1km out from the ice sheet, we have 1(1/6.4^2) (earth) vs 10^-5(1/1^2) (ice), which is very roughly 1/2500th of the effect of earths gravity. But the earths gravity is strong! The forces it exerts on the ocean are titanic - it doesn't seem outside the realms of belief that even this small percentage of the force could produce an observable effect, when the forces are so huge, and the differences are only measured in meters.

I think part of the reason we find this difficult to grasp intuitively is we don't really have a good mental model of just how titanic many of these forces are - huge numbers are just not something we, as a species, are good at understanding.
If the Earth were perfectly round the center of mass would be in the exact center, but if it had lopsided bulge on one side the center of gravity would shift in that direction. The water, being liquid, will want to form a sphere around that new center of mass. That deviation from center means a corresponding increase in water around the surface in that direction. So intuitively, if you think about it this way, 30 something meters deviation from center doesn’t seem too counterintuitive.

Well eventually they do take all that territory and more in their "liberation" of Poland and more from Germany though they love to have the world ignore the annexations of Latvian countries and attempt to take Finland when they opened WW2 with Germany. So of the two aggressor states that started WW2 they gained a lot of what they were after and left the world with decades of oppression.

This isn't intuitive to me either, given that the ice sheet is less dense than the surrounding water. I mean, it floats. Never mind the effect of the surrounding landmass, which is WAY more dense. I'm not ready to call his theory "fact" like Nautilus is.
