I'm not a HFT, I know I can't increase the speed of light, I know I can't tunnel through the earth to shave a few microseconds off a transmission. I can appreciate the difference between 300ms rtt and 900ms rtt - the later being a practical minimum when you're coping with outages in the 100-200ms range and networks reroute.

There is a huge variance in antibody response and duration between patients. It seems to correlate with symptom severity but there are other factors still not understood (possibly genetic). In some cases the innate immune system fights off the infection before antibodies are generated. In other cases the antibodies fade away quickly, but a high level of immunity is retained through memory T cells. Unfortunately there's no quick or easy way to do a specific T cell assay.

There is a hypothesis that prior exposure to other similar viruses provides a limited degree of immunity from SARS-CoV-2. It's plausible and fits some of the case patterns but we don't know yet if it's a significant effect.

That's not a more accurate representation than "burning carbon". The specifics are irrelevant and can sometimes even obscure basic relationships. The point is recognizing the relationship to more familiar forms of combustion and oxidation in day-to-day life; that's how you orient yourself when you come to the question for the first time.

My middle school biology class would have been in the early 1990s when many of the finer details of cellular respiration weren't in any textbooks (certainly not middle school). It wasn't until 1996 that a critical step in ATP synthase was confirmed. But you don't need to know anything about ATP to understand the basic role of carbon in energy extraction and respiration. Actually, now that I think about it biology classes tended to focus more on photosynthesis, which sort of makes sense historically--I suppose breaking CO2 photosynthetically was for hundreds of years the far more scientifically intriguing question, and perhaps that's why it was emphasized so heavily in primary and secondary school biology.

Not saying they did, but couldn't you make an estimate by looking at frequency of resets by single accounts? If someone took over an active account presumably that person would reset the password to get back in (and have a weird email). ASSUMING Grindr logs the person out of the app when the password is reset.

You might also have a few emails from users...

I was tempted to say this, but am conflicted because I still think it's important for individuals to be conscientious about their actions. Individual actions accumulate to potentially large impacts. However, in general, I agree with you. A large scale, wide impact change motivated by a 0.00005% emissions reduction that is potentially negated by the oxidizing bath and synthetic polymer is simply a distraction. Essentially, emissions from the manufacturing are a red herring and the article almost completely missed the big picture impact this could have.

As a greenhouse (soil) grower of vegetables myself, is this actually feasible? Many plants produce based on chilling cycles or day length; do you envision swapping out plants midway through the season? I know for greenhouse blueberries and possibly raspberries it can be plausible to grow in pots and bring into greenhouse in stages just for the fruiting cycle but I don't know if grapes are daylength or cold sensitive.

I found English meetups to be an incredible source for meeting younger people around my age pursuing varying careers and interests, especially when the culture prevents you from talking to strangers in most situations.

Honest, but somewhat pointed question.

Why are you using "collective delusions" as synonymous with social construct. My initial reaction is that the delusion was the other way around.That you were delusional (only while on mushrooms, I mean no offense) thinking social pacts were a sign of collective delusion.

I think generally the human population is well aware that these pacts can be broken at anytime. Armies can cross borders (imaginary lines), someone can take your personal property. But we use power to punish rule breakers.

This is misleading in some ways. Even people who are not overweight "lose weight" through exhaling and sweat/urination. It's not really an "interesting" concept. I think the more interesting discussion is around how many people still believe that exercise is a better way to lose weight than simply eating less. Basically, the perspective is entirely wrong. It's not about "losing weight", it's about not putting into your body in the first place.

A simplification of a tangential - did you ever hear that when you first start your lifestyle change (diet/exercise) that it's very easy to lose weight at the start because you're "losing water"? Well, now you know where that water comes from.

edit: I should just also say that another interesting discussion is around the best ways to get people to eat less. And part of that involves lots of interesting (at least to me) biochemistry.

You could might try applying to immigrate to Canada. They allow over 300k immigrants a year and the biggest requirements are to not be too old and fluent in English (or French). Lack of an official high school diploma is tricky but you might be able to a) pass some kind high school equivalency test in your country or b) write an internationally recoginzed test (eg SAT or GMAT) if you can score well on those then it should count for something.

If you're not from a liberal democracy kind of place (eg any where that was a UK colony for instance) then your biggest adjustment might be culture. I've worked many very fine people who arrive here and think it's quite ok to voice an opinion like "I hate chinese." or "I hate Indians" or etc which is acceptable in their country but definitely not fine in modern liberal democracy.
I absolutely loved learning about Bead Sort when I was in Uni. I was taking a class on algorithm design and Big-O notation and ended up reading through the sorting algorithms page on wikipedia[1] and then wandering off the garden path investigating a few.

There are several amusing ways that standard algorithmic analysis has been subverted with creative solutions (i.e. if you subscribe to the many-worlds theory then bogosort is always O(1) for at least one universe - you just need to discard the incorrect universes) but beadsort stood out as a really fun way to turn the problem on its head - the fact that it appears to be inspired from misusing an abacus just makes it even better.

It's a great example of why having people who can think outside of the box can be a good asset - approaching problems from unexpected directions can yield valuable and novel solutions.

That is a gross overstatement. As someone who works for a pre-IPO startup and been in the bay in various startups for a number of years, I'd hazard that only 5-10% of the engineers had YubiKey, let alone "work in tech".

It makes sense that the first steps toward developing a sufficiently robust theory is making sure your model can recreate the various phenomena that you are interested in modelling, no?

The goal is to get to a theory that reflects the behavior of the universe, and figuring out how to emulate the various idiosyncracies inherent in how the universe evolves over time (finite speed of information propagation, etc.). Finding testable aspects of the model is only possible after actually applying the theory, seeing where it falls short, and identifying ways to validate ambiguous conclusions.

The most appalling part is that this was a dedicated endpoint, named "password-reset". This wasn't some negligent leak, some misconfigured logger. It was done this way on purpose.

Generic going out meetups tend to be very strange, and socially awkward.

Before Corona hit I would go to tech meetups and board gaming meetups. I'd specifically warn against going to a Meetup thinking that you're going to get anything out of it aside from just enjoying the Meetup itself.

With that in mind, I happen to meet a nice girl last year after asking if she was there for the meetup. She wasn't , but she took my number down and we enjoyed each other's company.

But if you're looking at meetups in your area, and you're imagining which one's going to be the best, to meet someone you're not going to have a good time . You'll be so focused on that, you won't enjoy yourself.
In the last few months, me and my family have taken advantage of both Libby, for primarily audiobooks, and Hoopla, for children's books. Both were available through my library.
