Came here to say the same. I was completely unaware of the nasal cycle until I got further into my meditation practice, but you totally can notice which nostril is taking in more air if you practice training your awareness on it. It was surprising to me when I first noticed it.

One of my yoga teachers has us find the one that is currently dominant in the cycle before we practice nadi shodhana pranayama, and then select the starting nostril based on that.
Surprised they didn't mention Worcestershire sauce, which has very similar flavor profiles to sauce used in Thai cuisine.

Edit: Worcestershire sauce's flavor comes from fermented fish + tamarind, which also are two major ingredients in Thai/Vietnamese cooking.

It doesn't verify the email address -- jeff@amazon.com wants another credit card -- But then the next step is mandatory linking of bank accounts! Yuck...

So it looks like I was wrong.

Thank you very much, that's just what I was looking for.
Watched a program on TV where a professor demonstrated stereoscopic olfactory ability. A person was blindfolded and knelt on a grassy area where an invisible smell trail was laid out. The person was able to track the trail because of this ability.

The key part is your sinus cavity slightly closes one nostril creating a differential air flow. This difference allows us to figure out the direction the smell via the difference in intensity between nostrils which our brain uses to sense direction.
I see this done a lot with headphones.

Sennheiser HD600 cost around $280, are comfortable, do sound really accurate and pleasant, effectively last forever, are full modular with all pieces sold individually in the odd event the user drops them from a building or steps on them, and are effectively the market peak in value/price.

But people keep buying uncomfortable foul-sounding sub-$100 headphones that last a few months at best.
>But how could we be "conditioned" to breath in a certain way?

bad posture, overweight, too little exercise, too much stress. Not much of a stretch to think that the behaviour that gives countless of people snoring, backpain, or high BP may also negatively effect how we breathe.
Similarly to Amazon replacing popular products with their own, Google is doing the same with search results.

This is true. They're still subpar options though. I mean if you have to use them because that's what your team knows and you don't have time to learn something else, fine. But if you're building a new team and hiring for those skills you're making a mistake.

They get the money from individuals who are not using healthcare. That's the point.

Insurance companies minimize payouts to maximize profit - but they offer coverage that they often can't control the price of. It becomes a business negotiation between the hospital and insurance company.

The actual patient and the services rendered are many times irrelevant. If pricing was based on individual consumers you would see that reflect in pricing - no one would overpay for a cotton swab, for example.
Having neither coyote nor rifles where I live, I'm curious: what is the practical range for shooting a coyote approaching a farm? If accuracy and stopping power "at long range" make a difference, wouldn't a larger caliber hunting rifle be equally suitable?
It's a big logical leap to the conclusion that this will "doom us all". It's even sillier to be afraid of sediment core incubation experiments with destructive sampling techniques. Don't you think?
HTTP and DNS are all app layer. In fact, so is TLS but is sometimes said to belong to a session layer between the app and transport layer (there is no session layer in the internet protocols suite, this is an OSI layer: TLS is session layer in OSI, application layer in TCP/IP).

I don't think anyone should be denied entry to a country if they're willing to undergo a 2 week quarantine at their own expense. Banning countries may have made sense in the beginning when COVID was blowing up, we didn't know much about the virus, and healthcare systems weren't prepared, but at this point countries should have their act together (and many like South Korea and Hong Kong have handled it extremely well), and we know that as bad as the virus is, it's magnitudes of order less deadly than we thought.

In any case, I've heard of stories of U.S. nationals living abroad being denied boarding on their flights to other foreign countries solely on the basis of their U.S. nationality. That is absurd, and should not be allowed. If I've been living in Thailand for the last month, I'm not more likely to have COVID just because I happen to have U.S. citizenship.

Also there are currently 1.2 million U.S. passports awaiting issuance with a 3-4 month waiting period due to COVID related staffing reductions, so I'm legitimately trapped in the U.S. until my new renewed passport arrives. I live abroad, so it's not like I'm trapped at home and simply giving up a 2 week holiday.

Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with the pandemic response. But everything I see suggests that American leaders truly, honestly believe the health crisis isn't important enough that it should override their other priorities. Many have explicitly argued that other causes they support are just as important as the virus.

I don't really agree here. It's much harder to implement different mechanisms for each browser individually, and now that it's coming on the OS level (iOS 14, MacOS 11, Windows 10), there'll be a whole new set of ways to disable it.

Taylor Swift Album Review
Do you struggle with anxiety from work?
I’m 30 years old. Recently, I’ve taken time off work, for the first time in my career, solely to cope with mental health. Not months off work... more like a week.

I have no debt. I earn several hundred thousand a year.

Some of the things at my work are under my control. Other things aren’t under my control. I feel like I have a lot of responsibility and lots of people are counting on me.

Lately, my anxiety level is sky high. I wake up in the morning with random work related thoughts that make me almost panic.

I keep all this to myself — my husband isn’t aware, and I’m not sure telling him about it will help anyone.

Do you work in tech? Have you thought about just quitting? I am not entirely sure what to do next. My career has essentially become my identity.

I’m not dealing with WFH that great. I miss the social interactions.

I grew up in a poor household. Most of my life has been to work hard but the follow the rules. Creativity or big ideas aren’t something I’m great at.

I’m considering quitting my job and finding a lesser paying job with lesser responsibility. On the other hand, I don’t feel that I need to really quit my job. I just need control over my anxiety and a better ability to control my thoughts?

Do others here have similar feelings? How do you cope?
It's weird how much we take for granted without ever expecting it to be different for others. I thought you guys were just screwing with me re: having an alternating congested nostril. Like, I only experience that during severe nasal congestion, and it seems mostly to stick with one side or the other depending on which side I'm laying on.

It never even occurred to me that people would experience something like that _all the time_!
Electronic works in the U.S. fall within the mandatory deposit statute, but then are excused by Copyright Office administrative rules.

The 'beep' is the dead give-away on non-Casio Casios. I have a handful of replica G-Shocks, Frogman, Gravitymaster, etc. and the beep frequency is wrong even when the more advanced features like compass and thermometer work.

One last word of caution, even the F91W fakes do the three-button CASIo module thing now.

For a long time I've wanted to revisit some the old Usenet stuff. I knew someone in the who ran a commercial usenet feed service in the early 90s and their whole setup depended heavily on low level backplane configuration, number of spindles, disk rotation speed, etc. - a lot of details that AWS hides from most of us. Using everything I've learned about distributed systems in the last thirty years I bet I could build a really awesome news feed today.

Of course the downside of Usenet was most people expected conversations to disappear after a couple weeks or a month but there was always some jerk that kept everything and refused to delete anything.
But imagine a world in which a boy who wants to wear a dress one day can just go ahead and do that, without it saying something critical about their identity. It shouldn't matter whether the child feels innately feminine, or isn't sure yet, or just wants to try on a damn dress because why the hell not?

It seems to me that transgender labels preclude such a society, where you are whoever you're presenting yourself as at that moment.

https://xkcd.com/2014/
Whenever people point out how poorly government services are run everywhere in America, someone replies (like OP) that it’s because Republicans “sabotage” the operation of government. My point isn’t that Republicans could run it better; my point is that you can’t blame dysfunctional government on Republican “sabotage” when so many state and local government services controlled by Democrats is also dysfunctional.

We’re seeing this happen with police. Police funding and administration is almost entirely a local matter. If Chicago PD is running CIA-style interrogation sites (or what’s happening in Baltimore or Atlanta or Minneapolis) you can’t blame Republicans. If schools aren’t good or transit is bad, or housing is expensive, you can’t blame Republican “sabotage.”

It’s a perverse argument. It’s saying to disregard Democrats’ obvious failures to run government services—it would all be better if you just gave Democrats more power. (That is not to say that Republicans would run things better. For the most part, they wouldn’t even claim to, and would point to that as justification for doing less. My recently-red/trending purple Maryland county has pretty good government services, but mostly because it doesn’t try to do much.)
Thanks for the feedback!

We only ask for your email address so you can sign in later to see your results. I agree it's a bit unintuitive that we don't "verify" your email, but that's because it's ultimately linked to your bank account.

"Credit card information" in this case refers to the fact that we don't have access to your CC number, credit limit, etc. One of the early feedback we got was that people were worried we would have access to their CC number, so we added that bit in to clarify. I agree that the wording could be clearer.

In an interview, Lee Kuan Yew said he felt very pained with Clinton's lack of dignity in interjecting himself into something as petty as a vandalism case, and as a face saving measure for Clinton reduced the penalty from 6 to 4 lashes.

If celebrities (with their fame, reach and money) can't bother owning their own domains, what chance does a normal guy/gal have? It would be trivial for celebrities to set up their own websites and share whatever stuff they are sharing. At minimum, they can do this in addition to whatever social media they are on.

It is as if we are all becoming lazy and/or many of us don't realize the harm in giving all our info to half a dozen super mega corps. Most of these mega corps aren't even distributed in the world, they are all American (except tiktok) which is another interesting angle.

This is going to happen (already happening?) in the webapps/apps world too. There are so many no-code tools popping up - most will die, the rest will get acquired by the mega corps. Made a great webapp that is successful? Now you are stuck with bubble/airtable/shopify/whatever. I cannot name many no-code tools that lets you export your application to be hosted independently.

Actually yes - if you look at articles at the time, Mapquest was leading the antitrust charge against Google because the latter had JUST launched and yet was surfacing above Mapquest in rankings.

And when GMaps first started, it wasn’t the beast that it was today; sure it had some nifty UX improvements, but it was nothing close to competitors in the space at the time.

Yandex image search is amazingly good, certainly for faces. Bing is also pretty good. Google is the worst out of these three.

If a picture of your face is hosted on the internet (for example on your blog) you can do the following experiment. Take a selfie (eg. a picture of your face that doesn't exist yet online) and upload it to Yandex. It will probably identify you.
This is a great idea - I use the equivalent all the time in Gitlab.

> We will add an option when submitting a pull request for review to auto-merge it if all checks pass and the pull request is mergeable into the target branch.

IMO they should also make it possible to enable after creating the PR, before the checks finish. That's how Gitlab works and it's really useful even beyond the single author repo they discuss - once you have your approvals and have addressed all the feedback you can enable merge on pipeline completion and move on.
> In fact, take a look at Brazil or India, places that are hot year round. They have very few instances of the flu no matter the time of year. This shows that it doesn't spread much in warm weather.

I would argue that it doesn't show that. Nobody is testing for Influenza if it's just a "mild" case. What is being tracked is deaths from pneumonia that are attributed to Influenza.

If you look at the mortality in India or Brazil, it's way lower than in countries further from the equator. You also would expect testing capacity to be lower, so there's likely more unknown cases there.

Note to readers: This is a non-crypto hash algorithm. It's not meant to be cryptographically secure, but collision is rare enough for databases and similar applications, and is really fast. A real crypto hash like SipHash or BLAKE is already considered lightning fast (1-3 GB/s) in crypto applications, but XXH is faster than a RAM sequential read (30+ GB/s).
