As an fMRI practitioner, I just want to point out that this problem has nothing to do with fMRI. It has to do with the weaknesses inherent in the most common methods for designing fMRI experiments, and for analyzing and modeling the data. The SNR in fMRI depends heavily on the level of blood pressure, arousal, attention and other factors that vary day-to-day. Any analysis that doesn't account for that variability will be unreliable.

Methods for designing experiments, analyzing and modeling fMRI data that are robust to this variability are available. The problem is that most people in the field don't use them.
For reference, here's the incident the parent comment is talking about: https://youtu.be/pBekdnGWAcs
You say that, but could you provide citations. Like I can provide a narrative claiming the real problem is not enough funding.

Police need to be paid better so we can attract better police who will take their duties and responsibilities seriously.

Some small evidence is this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependen.... We seem to be in the middle of the pack of developed democracies

Certainly the extreme version of this can't be true. We need a police force of some kind.
Replying to my own comment because the editing time has expired to also give a shout out to Nextcloud Talk.

Never mind that all of Nextcloud is already a huge groupware boon of FOSS goodness, the new Nextcloud 19 just dropped with big improvements to Talk like scalable video quality.
When I got my first drivers license (Germany) the photographer actually digitally removed some moles from my face and did other editing to make the picture appear more good looking. I was a bit baffled as the picture is supposed to identify me but didn't say anything. Since then I always take ID-pictures in a photo booth. It really doesn't need a professional to take an acceptable picture.

I could imagine a photo booth outputting a digital copy of the picture with signature so it is clear to the registration office that the picture has not been meddled with.
Yes, heavily. Clojure influenced(mostly because for Rich Hickey talks) many parts of the JS functional programming ecosystem. Many functions in lodash and other libraries(immutablejs etc...) are somewhat directly or indirectly influenced from ideas Clojure help make more mainstream. Even Java the language itself has been heavily influenced by Clojure.

So this ecosystems implement the best ideas from niche influential languages, you can use Clojure's "programming model" without leaving the productivity and practical benefits of a big ecosystem. This has been more prominent in JS since the language lends itself better to FP.
This makes me nervous as I have registered several of my personal domains with Google Domains. So far I have resisted having my main personal domain with Google.

Kind of scary that they would suspend your domain registration because they think it is being used for something wrong and notify you after the fact.

Though like the author, I have also been moving things to Cloudflare over time.
Except that minorities are the first victims of crimes, so defunding the police will likely have the opposite effect, impacting the hardest the people who cannot afford private security.
In those 46 pages, he goes into details regarding how the idea came up to him, why he took a sabbatical of 2 years (which ended up lasting to this day, he says at the end :D ), what he did during those 2 years (not only Clojure) and how he basically has no retirement savings left because of that.
I understand there is some value in using a technical screen to see if a candidate has the viable expertise and skills required but how do we find that if everyone is doubling down on generic competitive-programming style hiring sites?

After crunching through many leetcode problems I see the problems they give have really poor APIs and many posted solutions people share have memory leaks and other problems that you would absolutely want to avoid on a production code base.

Competitive programming is fun for sure but where is the data that it has a high correlation to job success? It seems to me like a completely different skill set. Writing fast, sloppy code in order to solve a puzzle is fun but it's quite another when your library brings down a production server because it leaks memory like a sieve.
Yes, that seems spot on but we need context to understand him better and we need to understand why this is done in the first place. Looking up long dead peoole for faults is not my hobby and think that one will find faults of different nature all around us.

As I mentioned in another comment, I suspect Feynman had some narcissistic traits, but that does not make me less inspired by his lectures and I don’t see the point of pointing these out in relation to his work directly. The output of his work had a positive influence and that should be held into account.

Another example. I love some of Arthur Clarke’s works and ideas. He was also a pedo guy and he lived and done his dirty deeds in Sri Lanka. Disgusting? yeah, absolutely. Should that make me like his works and ideas less? That is bound to confuse my brains:) so I conveniently compartimentalize his work from other things. And I agree that this personal fact could be mentioned along with his name but his work is a separate thing though
Or have been systematically harassed in cities.
Are the solutions attainable? AFAICT most of the violence is coming from the police, and they are emboldened by the complete lack of consequences for use of force.

I think you could argue that the cause of violence is the massive imbalance in power between the people involved. Ideally the risk of actual consequence might dissuade police from acting thoughtlessly.

Edit: specifically referring to the violence at protests, not broader violence issues. It’s worth remembering that Americans have a first amendment right to protest peacefully.

That would not be as clickbaity! Why would you do that?
Both parties focus all attention on the national level. (Also, Democrats are especially hampered as the things they want tend to require congressional action more.) It's a toxic exercise in impotence, dejection, and at best, change with is still very slow and indirect.

Anything that focuses energy at the local level is a huge step. Both parties will be caught with their pants down. Issues are concrete and visceral, and do not require a high education to understand. It is by far the best way to fix the governance of this country.

Local issues have a history of been deemed non-partisan, which means the everyday conservatism of single family zoning, hyper local funding of everything, etc. could rot out the culture completely by stealth post-WWII even before the more well-known rise in policing and decline in social services began the 70s and 80s.
MacStadium is very popular for this purpose.

Let's assume that sending network packets to verify the trustworthiness of commands is a good idea. (It may not be, but that's a different discussion.)
If you have a modern OS with sufficient virtualization and containerization and indirection, you could optimistically let the commands run, and not commit the side effects of the command until you get back a result. Create little write logged mini branches of your file system, and only actually pause when someone else wants to inspect your side effects. By then, an asynchronous check should have gotten back to you.
In the US alone, for TBI alone, there were almost 3 million TBI-related emergency department visits in 2014[0]. One in 4,000 babies born in the US have hypothyroidism[1]. At the lower bound, there is 0.25% of the US population subject to schizophrenia[2].
If we go and look at things like Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), 2.7% of US adults have had it in the past year, 32% of which had serious impairments associated with it[3].

I would invite you to seriously challenge the formulation of your idea: it's not that 99.9% of stuff "seems important and it's not", it's that not 99.9% of people have the ability to deal with it through just the one therapeutic aspect of self-talk. Moreover, there is a propensity to share these words because they are inspirational, yet there is very little put forward for the people who do need more than that - and who, in turn, tend to suffer from ailments which in many cases could be alleviated if as a society they were more acknowledged.

If you re-read my message, I hope you do see that I am appreciating the original words, and simply highlighting additional options to people out there who need more than that. That's all.

v2 most likely. The currently launched satellites do not have cross-satellite links so the satellites can only provide service while they are within range of a ground station. The cross satellite links were originally planned for v1 but are behind schedule and nobody outside SpaceX knows what the current schedule is.
Yes, more efficiency is possible.

I'm not really sure what your point is or where your comments fit into this conversation at this point.
The mayor was not the one out there mercilessly beating down civil protestors, rather it was the police and militarized animals!
I think the chart is misleading for those just seeing it in isolated form on social media. It doesn't include education budget because that is not discretionary. The school budget is 4x the police budget. I'm not exactly sure the right way to show what to include and not to include - but think it is a bit misleading to represent it this way.

If I was running a company and didn't show the cost spent on salaries or office space it might look like we were spending a ton of money on coffee.

(I am in favor of reducing militarization of police - just offended as a statistician!)
Think of this as a useful filter of job opportunities for you: don't accept any of those jobs.
Good overall point, but I'd like to point out that not all taxpayers are voters, and not all voters are [significant] taxpayers. So a moderately different group of people are punished than the group that has the power to change things.
I can only speak for the parts of Sweden where I live and socialise, but I know of no-one who things our policy is "normal", whatever that means. It is some kind of myth that we are ignoring the risks and pretends like nothing is happening. Lots of restrictions, just not as strict as it could have been.

That part about recklessly endangering Europe (!) is hyperbole, UK, Spain and Italy has more deaths capita but apparently the EU can handle them, so...

* Source for death per capita is https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries. I've heard something about them not being fully reliable, but the death statistics should be comparatively easy to aggregate, so I'll use that number unless obviously wrong.
I mainly use the https://github.com/euclio/vim-markdown-composer plugin for this. Just run :ComposerOpen in vim after installing the plugin, and it should work.
If it has an effect it could be worth pursuing just to measure the size of the effect. If perfection isn't needed, "good enough" might be better.
Three examples of this:

1. core.async: So the guys who built golang did it because they had this cool idea for creating coroutines using channels. However, since it required very low-level functionality to be part of the core of the programming language, they thought they'd have to design a brand new language to implement their idea. However, shortly after golang was released, Rich and some other clojure folks implemented the same feature in clojure as a totally ordinary external library, proving that the core of clojure was general enough to support this. And it wasn't just a gimmick: I use core.async every day and think it is better than golang's implementation.

2. The Expression Problem: One of the core challenges in language design is designing it so that (simplifying a bit) you can transparently add support for new function methods to objects designed by a third party. Clojure makes this easy https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Clojure-Expression-Probl...

3. Lots of languages have attempted to allow you to write a single library that you can use both on the client and the server, having your code transpiled to different languages in each case. However, this type of feature is rarely used in production, because there are usually lots of headaches involved, with many limitations. However, for clojure developers it is perfectly normal (and usually expected) that all code is written in cljc files & so that it can be used on both the client (transpiled to javascript) and the server (transpiled to java). It is easy to do this, even for cooperatively multithreaded code.
This is an incredibly important point in this debate. Almost all of the institutions people want to change are controlled at these lower levels of government. Even with federal legislation, all of the implementation will be up to lower level governments. But most of the things people want to change can only be changed at the City level, they're outside the federal governments jurisdiction.

Crucially, this means that a lot of these issues can be addressed without navigating party politics. There are plenty of cities and states that are controlled top to bottom by one party (they exist for both parties). So either party should be able to more or less unilaterally pass these changes.

IMO if you're not talking about fixing this at municipal and state levels you're more interested in party politics than fixing it.
I would think that profile-guided optimization (PGO) also makes compilation nondeterministic (unless the profile is stored for reuse.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profile-guided_optimization

I've been enabling PGO when building Python lately and I imagine the resulting binaries are a little different every time due to random events during profiling.
Hopefully that'll come with GraalVM.
I hope that after a while you think about building some product for an audience you like. Your natural empathy and willingness to engage users make me think you'd be stellar at doing your own thing.
I like the ease of use and I greatly enjoy its diary feature. This provides simple keypresses to open an entry for today or yesterday, without requiring to think about the date. It provides me quick access to make notes and continue my way. Similarly, the creating of new notes, inserting likes, and navigating these links, are made relatively easy with commands provided by vimwiki.

I suppose that it is not that difficult to recreate the basic behaviour of vimwiki with custom commands and navigating with `gf` between your notes. However, for me vimwiki provided an easy way to get started in an environment where these commands were provided out of the box. Since then, I have gotten used to, and somewhat attached, to vimwiki and have kept using it.
The curfews in our area were put in place by elected officials as the violence was out of control at night. This was not a police action.

The Constitution provides a right to peaceful assembly. It does not provide a right to violence and looting. During the day people who wanted were and are generally able to march and peacefully express their views.
I’m always happy to see paths for more people to learn useful industry skills (most often not taught in universities).

But can we please not lower our hiring bars because the company partnered with bootcamp X or because there is a diversity (read: three groups) target to hit?

Yes it’s cheaper, and we save some money after tax incentives, but if I have to pass up a superior candidate due to an order from upper management one more time, I will pull my hair out.

I hope a program like this or freecodecamp offered at every new hire orientation will work wonders. Yes mentoring beginners is fulfilling, but its very taxing when they were hired on the basis of a few bootcamp projects plus a diversity credential when they’re still very green skill wise.
thanks, I'll try that!
> The scale difference between USA & European countries is rather large, and most people can easily lose sight of that and make statements like 100mi is easily long-distance for Europeans, when most Americans would consider 100mi to be local. I've known people who's daily commute approaches that.

That's why I made sure to include the word "continental". A Nissan Leaf with 100mi/charge in Europe could start in Northern England travel down to Southern Italy (via the Chunnel and France, etc) then back up to Norway because the charging infrastructure is there (and has been built up remarkably in the last 5 years or so from maps I've seen). It might not be the most pleasant trip, but it's more than possible.

Range anxiety is as much a problem of infrastructure as it is what a car is capable of on paper, and range bloat pretty much insures there's no magic mileage that an EV could get to satisfy "every buyer", but infrastructure can get there.

In many cases, too, infrastructure is already there. So many Americans still hear EV mile range and assume they need to do all their charges in a "pump model". Home charging changes the equation and not enough potential EV buyers understand that yet. So many of the people wanting "300mi" or "500mi" as some magic number where they can't imagine having range anxiety don't yet have an intuition for how home charging feels.

Shortly after college I lived in The downtown area of a suburban town, now I live San Francisco. In the small town a cop would drive by every 30 min all night long. Sometimes the only thing driving by was the cop. The town had one Public murder in ten years. Here in SF I see the bus more often than a patrol car. Don’t under estimate white peoples ability to be scared about nothing.
Curfews are ordered by mayors and enforced by the police. The distinction, in this case, isn’t very relevant.

It’s sad that people are too ideological to realize that minorities are going to bear the brunt of woke yuppies whose lives don’t depend on these services even remotely as much.
We already have fork's, one is the Chinese-firewall, the other is Google-AMP and the 3rd is probably North-Korea :)
The vast majority of individuals from minority groups will almost never call the police. As evidence has shown from the past week, if you call the police to keep looters from raiding your shop, the police will show up and arrest you.

This is perhaps a fixable problem - there are areas where the police are generally more trusted - but it's a problem nonetheless and you see police departments themselves own up to it when complaining about things that jeopardize their relationship with minority communities (like CBP/ICE pretending to be local PD)
I was pretty surprised also, so I checked my city (Mt View, California). Police is 28% of the budget here. The next biggest category is the Fire. Department, which is 18%.

I think top level city concerns are police, fire, and community services (libraries, parks, etc.). Lowering police spending to under 10% seems a bit low.

Note that in California, school budgets are separate from the main city budget.

"huge" antennas usually have high gain, which increases your signal-to-noise ratio - both Rx and Tx.

Comparatively, my costs have gone up now that I'm WFH instead of going into the office, because I have to feed myself.

I used to arrive at the office for 7am, have a delicious breakfast, a delicious lunch, and take a doggy bag to go for dinner when I left at 4pm.

While that can sound terrible on the one hand, on the other hand, the cognitive load of having to make sure I have food for breakfast and/or dinner was wearing me down. Stocking a kitchen and cooking for one is no fun.

Work took all of that away, and all it cost me was spending an extra hour a day in the office. That saves me having to go to supermarkets to buy food, saves me having to cook, saves me having to clean, and means I can sit at a table and dine comfortably instead of doing takeaway and eating/drinking on the go.

You might argue I've been brainwashed. All I know is that it's been months since I last got fed at work, and as great as the choices on Deliveroo are, after 3 months of this garbage, I miss having real freshly cooked food prepared for me.
Google allegedly tracks users even when they use Incognito Mode on Google Chrome
I think Reagent would be the easiest and most visible example.

Reagent was my intro to React, I had no experience prior nor did I care to learn it at the time. The reagent wrapper around react made it so intuitive to use that I was writing productive (albeit warty code because I had 0 experience with functional programming/lisp/clojure) my first day. I had loads of experience writing Javascript, but at that time React looked cryptic to me without reading any documentation and Reagent did not.

Another commenter mentioned lodash. If I was forced to use JS directly, lodash would be the first thing I reach out for to solve problems.

But in Clojure you also get "cljc" which is a file extension that lets you use code both in Clojure and Clojurescript land simultaenously. With this you can write things like form validation code that's exactly the same front and backend.
Some figures for police budgets in US cities:

City of Orlando spends 31.6% of its budget on police. Oakland spent 41 percent of the city's general fund on policing in Fiscal Year 2017. Chicago spent nearly 39 percent, Minneapolis almost 36 percent, Houston 35 percent.

https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2017-07-0...

These figures seem remarkably high compared to other spending.
> But isn't it still relatively very low bandwidth? I think they tested a v2 with ~700Mbps

Are you saying 700mbps is slow? Or is that all the bandwidth that the single link can provide (meaning 700 divided by the number of subscribers)? Living in a fly over state, I was lucky at first to get much more than 10mbps. Spectrum has now provided service to my area and I can get 400mbps and am super happy.
