Do you have a reference for that?

Because I'm posting this in response to a metastudy that indicates that honey works better than a placebo. And anecdotally I've found that other hot drinks, such as coffee, do not work as well as a hot honey and lemon. And yet your theory indicates that coffee should be equivalent.
I'm asking for examples of these systems being implemented practically.

You find that weak? OK.
If true, that is stunningly naive by the Soviets. Almost too naive. Are we certain they weren't intentionally feeding the machine bad intelligence?
You seem to have some pretty fundamental misunderstandings about strength training. Even very intense programs can be undertaken without turning into an immobile blob of muscle. Strength is gained not only through hypertrophy but also through neurological changes, particularly those related to motor unit recruitment. Technique is also critical and fixing flaws there can lead to large improvements.

>I have 2 friends who bulk up and are actually in a very bad shape mobility wise, their arms are so big that they can't reach arms behind their backs

Bodybuilding is only one type of strength training. Furthermore, the primary goal of bodybuilding is aesthetics, not necessarily strength. That's not to say that they're not strong, but there's a reason why body building competitions will involve flexing in front of the judges while olympic lifting competitions won't.
You're describing the wrong use of squash merges, and I agree they suck.

The right use is to allow me to make crappy, random commits on my own feature branch, clean them up those commits when I'm ready to release the change.

And the commit description will describe what's going on.

The key is that my feature branch is not long-lived - only a day or two, long enough for me to make a step forward before merging it back into mainline and then starting on the next step.
So why not provide a legal path to immigration instead of abolishing the minimum wage then?
No one (statistically) was spreading it at the beach, so all the hand-wringing and blaming now and then that you're engaging in has shown to be arrogant and incorrect.
What I look for while interviewing ML Engineer and DS roles
Let's vote for (and give "campaign contributions" to) the candidate who will lower our taxes the most... seems like a slippery slope.
Americans are winners as were the Brits before them. History will always favor the winner. The only practical lesson out of this sad story and countless others through history is: learn to be strong and so you can be a winner.
If a country cannot have a mutualist economy then it's irrelevant to the discussion of economic models.
Well this is a pointless discussion. I've tried it and can just repeat myself, try it yourself and see your new burner account locked. I've no insight to how and when your mom created her accounts.
> Kindergarten in the US became far more academically focused after the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, and the adoption of Common Core curriculum.

My understanding is that this is at least driven in part by academia, who have gradually advocated earlier and earlier interventions for lower performing students.
I wish we started a campaign of "you don't have to die for it to suck". I don't know why we're stuck in the dichotomy of death or survival. Permanent damage isn't great either.
> The biggest three banks in the US have around 10% market share each, the 4th has < 5% market share, and they fall quickly after that.

You are referencing share of investment, primarily because their stability is counterbalanced by their above-average rakes (or lower returns, depending on how you want to look at it). At 10% of the market, it's a MASSIVE influence, regardless of the attempt to trivialize the number.

> More than half of the poor do it every generation [4].

My interpretations is that it takes 4 generations for 1/16th of the population to move from poor to middle class.

> Using one's own experience and observation to make claims about complex issues like this is terribly and ridiculously incorrect

Making a random jab at an admitted caveat, why? I'll just stop trying to debate a flamebaiting troll, since your points are not compelling and you are posting in bad faith, regardless. GL with whatever.
Great news, can't wait for Oracle to buy TikTok!
Yeah, like the other reply, I'd mostly say testing DAGs was an issue. Airflow-related configuration is easy to get wrong and it silently fails a lot.

Now that I think about it though, most of the time I spent on testing wasn't caused by Airflow. Testing data pipelines just isn't easy with the current well-known tooling.
You're right, though it already didn't exactly work anyhow since it'd need parenthesis to execute properly, like (--C)++. On a side note, --C would make for a cool assembly language name.
Ye, everyone know it is:

#define PI 3.1415927410125732421875

that is the float closest to pi or that there is the GNU extension USE_FUNKY_DEFINES-something with M_PI for cmath. (I know you meant constexpr:ions).
I'm sure it was a security thing. Imagine malware that makes nefarious changes to an iPod's firmware when plugged in. Now the iPod can be used to infect other machines it gets plugged in to.

We don't have to imagine very hard. Did you read the Senate report (bipartisan) that shows the level of effort Russia put into helping install a President who's policies show an inclination of wanting to be a dictator? That's supported by a party that takes as many steps as possible to deny citizens the right to vote?

What level of effort? $100,000 in Facebook ad spend, a paid troll farm[1], and airing some of the DNC's dirty laundry? That was all that it took for half the country to go ahead and elect a monster?

You're severely downplaying the scope, abilities, and observable impact of our domestic propaganda organs, that range from mainstream publications (Like Fox) to insane-bonkers fringe crap (Like Alex Jones).

> I arrived there, and I immediately felt like a character in the book '1984' by George Orwell-a place where you have to write that white is black and black is white. Your first feeling, when you ended up there, was that you were in some kind of factory that turned lying, telling untruths, into an industrial assembly line.

We have plenty of domestic organizations who engage in this exact same bloody thing, for similarly cynical political ends. The difference is, they are funded by folks like Rupert Murdoch, who, of course, always has the best interests of America in his heart.

AKA joule counting- for normal li-ion it gets you to ~5% most of the time, up to 20% off at the start and end. That's assuming the voltage stays constant the entire time- in reality the first bit is at 4.2+ volts, and the last bit is down to ~3 volts. That's a 40% energy difference per electron that leaves the battery.

It's also one of the reasons you get electronics that die suddenly at 5%- current gas gauges usually account for it, but older stuff wasn't always good at knowing when the voltage would drop off. Nowadays (and always, for the most part) the sudden shutoff is because electronics often pull very brief power spikes that drop the battery voltage below the minimum voltage temporarily. The chemistry takes a moment to recover after that.

The problem with Li-S batteries isn't just that they have a goofy curve- that can be charted and saved, even as the battery degrades (Note- I'm mostly up on conventional chemistry. Don't know much about Li-S). It's more have a couple phases they go through during discharge. Impedance and other properties of the battery change, which changes the discharge characteristics of the battery, which changes the voltage. Proportionally, the swing in voltage is also larger (although this kind of thing is always changing, so I may be out of date).

There's also a small amount of self-discharge and parasitic reactions that will consume electrons, but that number is necessarily fairly small and predictable. The main thing is that 50% of the energy variance is in the voltage, and you need to know a lot about the current chemistry inside the battery (as well as the future load profile) to be able to predict the voltage that all the remaining electrons will have as they leave the battery.
> I do fear for the skills of reading a physical book though...

Do you need skills for that which are different from reading a computer screen? I only see limitations like no ctrl+f or hyperlinks, so fewer skills needed rather than more.
A lot of people seem to think that free markets require perfect information and perfect competition.

These requirements are not remotely necessary for free markets to work and work well.
Yeah, if they put in any of the cameras from an iPhone (or any flagship smartphone for that matter) it would be an unbelievable leap in quality. There's no way they can't find space for it.
Oof now we are saying that my work is not of publishable quality? The data are from two days ago so it would be hard to get it peer reviewed in that time. But I do plan on publishing. I am putting it out there so people can make more informed decisions (about schools etc) in real time.
If people like you wont wear a mask or social distance and the portion that are asymptomatic pass it around you will help it spread far and wide maximizing the chances that even careful people will become ill eventually.

Wearing a mask is mostly about keeping the respiratory droplets of the ill, including the 40-50% which don't have obvious symptoms from spreading around. If only the vulnerable wear masks they wont be safe.

So you're saying that places like NYC have reached natural herd immunity and can safely be opened back up? They reached an estimated R0 of 5.6 early on due to their population density. From that number, they'd have to reach > 80% infected to hit herd immunity. They got hit hard, but they're nowhere near that level. If they went back to normal all of a sudden, there'd be a lot more death.
I'd hardly call a sleeper Geiger counter a "spy device".
This is barely even an article. You state a trend and then say herd immunity must be happening because... you cannot think of any other reason.
Well sanitation workers make up a fairly large fraction of the minimum wage workers so that's a representative group of people for the matter at hand.

You're not wrong that unnecessary private exchanges like that might be lost, but those are unnecessary, not that noteworthy in terms of economic scale, and generally aren't relevant to minimum wage laws anyway. My point is precisely that most of the labor that is priced at minimum wage is not like the example you describe.

This is the only mention of that particular mechanism of action. I've always heard that coating the throat is the aim as well, but I'm skeptical.

Right -- you could use the full length of an existing runway to have a gentle acceleration , bt I'd argue this makes a lot more sense than some sort of drone delivered jettisoned/retrieved battery if your goal is to reduce on-board energy expended for takeoff. Much less complex and the wear parts would be fixed at the airport rather than on every single airplane.
You are conflating not investing in a country with overthrowing a democratically elected government. Are you really arguing that it was OK for the US and UK to overthrow Iran's government because otherwise foreigners might not have invested in Iran, or otherwise threatened their investments? Truly, this is what they call "capitalism with a human face".
Could be. Different honey also has differing flavor, consistency, etc. As an example, our local honey supplier suggested one type for sore throats - tarweed honey. It was thicker and had a much stronger flavor. Theory was it would stick longer (have yet to try).

Flavor wise it was not what I’d want to use for regular consumption, but if it works better when sick? Sure.
Unpaid internships are definitely still a thing, and they are yet another way that privileged people have an advantage in society. Not many people can afford to work for free unless they have family wealth to support them, or are willing to go into large amounts of debt. Unpaid internships should probably be illegal to make things more fair.
Between all the patents, it would be basically impossible to start a new mobile phone company from scratch which made its own chips, for example.

Many battery monitoring circuits do this, sampling both voltage and current to compute power over time. With a suitable inductor to limit the rate of current change to be within the nyquist sampling interval of the monitor, you can pretty accurately measure charge going in or coming out of a battery. Combined with a model for the battery and you've got a modern battery monitor circuit.
Ask a programmer to estimate how long it'll take them to code something to see if we really have error bars on complex functions. The margin will be so wide as to be completely useless.

We do have error bars on simple measurements already. They're right there in the data sheet for the sensor. What you're asking for are error bars on things several levels distant in the layers of abstraction. Humans suck at that. We only cope the same way machines do: through constant negative feedback.
Small correction:

Raven in Snow Crash had a sensor in his body. The warhead was in the passenger compartment of his motorcycle.
I'm no fan of lockdowns, but comparisons to the prohibition of alcohol in America are appeals to political mythology. You may argue it didn't work to the extent some have wanted it to, but it did produce "positive" results on almost every notable metric other than political satisfaction. By some measures alcohol consumption only recovered to pre-prohibition levels in the 1960s.

In the big scheme of things it's just not a good example of anything relating to effectiveness of government imposed restrictions.
I think that is definitely something that you have to be willing to balk from in a relationship. There will always be things that your partner insist you do, and things that you insist your partner.

When I would put up a fuss over my mother making me do something as a kid, she would eventually exclaim "Would you just humor me and do it?" Being an adult now I get that reaction. A lot of the times it's hard to describe your position to someone else, like my mother attempting to make me do something as a kid that I don't understand the ramifications of since I'm a kid, like going to the doctor's office. Obviously going to the doctor's office is necessary maintenance for a human, but as a kid you only see it as getting in the way of your playtime.

Being an adult is knowing that you will sometimes be the kid or the parent in this sort of scenario plenty of times, and that it's usually a lot easier to swallow your pride and humor your partner, rather than die on your hill like a child throwing a tantrum over not wanting to go to the doctor's office.
I think this is a question about timescales. Employers especially larger ones can afford to wait much longer than any singular employee. People break union lines because future better pay is not worth starving to death today. The average minimum wage American cannot afford to miss 1 paycheck without serious economic trouble.
Sounds like you define "free market" such that all parties have equal wealth, or at least equal runway to wait for a better price. Per my original comment, I'm not familiar with this definition.
"I've cut it twice and it's still too short."
>> The labor market is not a free market: companies have more power in negotiation, they have more information and, most important of all, they can deal with a job opening not being covered most of the time. Workers can't usually live too much without finding a job.

> The labor market is a free market. If you don't agree the employer offer is fair, you don't have to accept.

You disagreed with him while not actually addressing his point at all. Care to elaborate how you think he's wrong here?

The RPM's are huge. Like 16k, because smaller motors are lighter for same power. Mass is generally 40lb + rider.

The RPM doesn't matter much though. Regen efficiency is around 80% from wheel to battery. With cars you get much less regen because you lose tons of energy to air at the speeds they travel.
So they would starve, jobless, because the work wouldn't pay a subsistence wage? This seems unlikely, as many people work at jobs where they don't earn enough to support their lifestyle.

I think the below-subsistence wage earner would be more likely to (though not certainly) move somewhere that their skills were more needed.
NYC was far from acceptable. The point was to prevent the rest of the nation getting to a similar point.

That levels in other urban areas generally stayed below thresholds is proof that the lockdowns worked.

Until the pandemic passes (either via mutation, vaccine, or herd immunity), we should be in a state of maintenance where we move in/out of various levels of lockdown/open to keep it that way.

I once worked with a very talented senior artist. After a few years, he told me that he had never once submitted a time report. He felt it was needless busywork and that if he ignored managers and HR nagging about it, sooner or later they just stopped.

Your extraneous mentions of Argentina are jarring. First, please don't attempt to sell yours as the unanimous view of what's happening to Argentina, who damaged it and who attempts to recover from the damage, and the dollar reserves/policy. Second, we do have a more or less stable constitution (the latest interruption to our democracy, via coup d'etat, was backed by the US in the 70s, by the way). Comparing our democracy to Iran's government is bizarre.

> the intent has always included bikes

Sidewalks predate bikes by roughly 4000 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidewalk#History

> Despite your wish to call sidewalks your own and not share them

I don't mind sharing them with things moving at walking pace. Dogs, wheelbarrows, ice cream carts, wheelchairs, maybe skateboards.

I no more want to share them with bikes doing 10-15mph than with mopeds doing 10-15mph or sprinting people.

Bikers are paying diesel and petrol tax and road vehicle tax? Not in the UK they're not. Pedestrians aren't either. If they're not, that isn't "just like everyone else".

>We’ve gone through the generation of startups you can do as a dropout from high school or college, hacking a social network out of PHP scripts or assembling a computer out of parts at a local homebrew club.

None of that was really innovative, yet ended up with massive commercial success. MS-DOS was the not first PC operating system, Facebook was not the first social network on the web, Apple was not the first PC or smartphone maker.

So I don't think anything has changed there at all. You can still create a massively successful venture bringing something out to market in a way that is somewhat incrementally 'better' than what is on offer without having multiple PhDs in different fields on your founding team.

And it's pointless comparing that to the type of startup that is trying to creating something that is completely 'novel' from the intersection of 2 or more technical fields. Managing that type of complexity isn't something new either - it is fairly routine in academia to apply tools from one field to another - which is also how a lot of innovation happened historically as well as how many startups got started. Historically these type of ventures are high risk and the reason we are seeing a growing number of these is more a testament to how saturated the startup ecosystem is and how research increasingly is driven by venture capital rather than by academia and industry.

The author does allude to this, by mentioning that remote learning is almost worse than nothing.

Honestly, we probably should just cancel at least the first half of the school year altogether, but that would mean admitting how utterly dismal our Covid response has been, and so it is not politically possible. Thus a whole generation of kids have to deal with this nonsense. It's a shame.
