> The founders did not reject partisanship because they wished to avoid taking sides, or out of some faith in the journalistic “view from nowhere.”

But they did reject it. What is the functional difference then? The framing? I expect neutrality, because it shows the ability of an author to distance himself from his own convictions. A necessary step to describe events. Similar with authors that shouldn't marry their protagonists, although for different reasons. I have no problem that an author adds his opinion in a clear and transparent way, I actually prefer that. If you are 26-something and a journalist, most readers expect a certain political affiliation already for that matter.

But we currently see many issues where crimes are hidden or exaggerated depending on political affiliation. Of course people start to look for alternative sources and that is exactly because writers took sides.

You aren't doing anyone a favor moralizing climate policy. It is far easier to convince people that tackling the issues is in their own interest. Otherwise opposition suddenly makes sense.
I consider this totally normal. I think it's very wasteful to throw out food over a little bit of localized mold, especially things like bread which can form it very easily.

As long as it doesn't smell or taste off and it's not a known dangerous food I eat it. I have never had good poisoning in my life afaik.

I don' think git is a good example since if you edit two git repositories together and you try to merge them, you can get conflicts.

You basically just keep observing the orbiting object and add data to refine the orbital parameters. Orbital mechanics is very nonintuitive, there is very little drag at that altitude, and the speed doesn’t really have any influence on how precise you can be.

With very few perturbations the object-in-motion-stays-in-motion becomes a powerful tool because you can use the fact that nothing changes to get crazy high precision by spreading your measurements over time.
We will soon look back on this euphoria with astonishment at our charming naivete.

US, Russian, and Chinese Space Forces gleefully blasting one anothers' orbital assets to shrapnel will leave the world poorer.
Perhaps something like this is closer in functionality:

"Sufficient Flash to accommodate OpenWrt firmware image

* 4MB min (won't be able to install GUI (LuCI))

* 8MB better (will fit GUI and some other applications)

Sufficient RAM for stable operation

* 32MB min, 64MB better"

(Directly from https://openwrt.org/supported_devices)

Still a few magnitudes more than the PDP-11/45, though.
Why American Express Uses Golang?
American Express Uses Golang for Payments & Rewards
To start with why American Express uses Golang, let us understand what is American Express
American Express offers Global services that provide consumers and businesses with access to the products, insights, and enhance the lives and build a successful business. American Express has made things easier, simpler, and rewarding for the business, customers to make a purchase of the things they are in need of, and help merchants to sell their products or services by using expense, travel management solutions.
I think COVID quarantine has worsened this, as people are getting even more of their worldview through social media feeds instead of actually interacting with people in the real world.

I think COVID is causing it, but in a much simpler way: by increasing stress levels which increases fast system thinking. Globalization and the rising pace of change have increased global stress levels over the past decades, which has caused people to take a defensive mental stance, do more fast system thinking and be less open minded. You saw the same shift towards extreme politics throughout the world, which for me means it is not about the issues, but about how people feel. COVID turned that dial up to 11. I see people freaking out in many small ways, and they mostly don’t seem to be aware they’re suffering from anxiety and it is affecting their thought process.

Social media is the cherry on top. When you are in the fast system thinking mode, it helps you to stay there. Selection bias, shallow interactions, shallow depth of information, all things that increase as you engage more with social media. That makes it more toxic to people already under stress. These people then are able to find each other online, form vocal groups and try to spread their anxiety around. And that’s how it can appear like things are getting worse while mostly they’ve never been better. And how it can seem like people are getting more stupid while really they’re getting more stressed.
A gem of a writeup by Ryan. I read through the whole thing, including the emails he shared. Some snippets below for folks who may not read the whole thing.

The people we let go had joined because they believed in our product and mission. They had done nothing wrong, yet suddenly there was no longer a place for them. I remember letting go of someone I had known since college. She turned to me and said, “I took this job over something that paid more, and now what should I do?” These agonising decisions kept me up at night for weeks, and I know it was much harder on those affected.

That group of professional challenges was more difficult than anything else I’ve faced in my career. At the time, I told a teammate that it felt like I was playing seven-dimensional chess because of the complexity of the negotiations combined with so many conflicting challenges at work.

I was also juggling personal challenges that were far more stressful than the hurdles at work.
It started with absolutely brutal fertility issues that my wife and I went through, beginning in 2016.
One of those tests revealed unexpected, terrifying information. I was diagnosed with cancer. I only remember a pair of words from the first conversation with my doctor: “two tumors”.

For the next several months, my emotions would sometimes pour out in a tidal wave of tears and yelling. Anger, frustration, fear, confusion — there were so many feelings to contend with.

I worried that the team would use my diagnosis as an excuse to throw in the towel, that my health would become a distraction, cause the company to fail and make things that much worse.

To this day, I cry every time I go to the cancer center at Stanford.

I hadn’t had a headache in 20-plus years and now I couldn’t go through a full day without experiencing crippling pain in my head.

By the end of 2017, I was completely worn out.

Persistence was my superpower. But now I’ve now come to understand that persistence is a double-edged sword, and my decision not to take a break, to not take more off my plate, hurt me, my family and the company. That was the biggest mistake of my career.

depression and burnout can make even small challenges feel like a big deal.

I had gotten to a place where I only focused on the losses and couldn’t accept positive things.

my daughter looked at me and said, “Daddy, you always look so sad”. She was five. It was the push I needed to change.

A successful and healthy transition requires one to live in the nothingness between the end of one period and the beginning of another.

FINALLY HIS FIRST EMAIL(feedback to the board member) IS AN EXCELLENT READ.
Could this result in less fat gain?
The title appears to be wrong. Chewing more increases insulin concentration:

Meanwhile, plasma concentrations of glucose (P= 0·024), insulin (P< 0·001) and GIP (P< 0·001) were higher following the forty-chews meal."

Doesn't this suggest that if you want to eat a lot of food but don't want to absorb too much of it (i.e., are concerned about weight gain), you should chew less?

Aristotle’s Physics is a good example how common sense ridiculed in our society while it

Kindergarten children can engage in physics, construct their theories. And only much later learn that space bodies move differently and how that knowledge can be applied to the world around us.

I don't see how this idiotic EULA can be enforceable. A farmer buying seeds from Monsanto is one thing: it's a business deal, Monsanto (or their resellers) can tack such a restriction onto the deal and it's obviously enforceable -- to a point.

But for fruits sold in a grocery store ... even if the language in the one line "contract" turned out to be enforceable, which would completely retarded but could unfortunately happen, there's an obvious and immediate flaw. It's one line, so it evidently doesn't include any provision for a grocery buyer just gifting the seeds to a grower. Even if it did, what's the recourse? Get a homeless person to spit the seeds from the grapes he just bought in a cup. Who you gonna sue? How much is the patent holder going to get from a lice-infested, pee-smelling indigent? Why do they even bother putting that there?

> Again the hard evidence that you are dying to see is classified and would reveal American hacking capabilities. <

Then we are back to exactly what I said at the start: they remain allegations only. Nothing has been proven, as you said. One either believes anonymous sources within the CIA and the people who believe them, or one wants evidence for such an extraordinary claim.

Remember: it's not just about Russians, but the original allegation was that the Trump campaign was involved. That has been very quietly walked back.

The DNC was definitely hacked and the content of the emails were embarrassing to powerful people, but whenever the content of the emails are discussed, people start shouting about Russians and Trump's love of Putin. This is very convenient to these same powerful people

The email exposure could have been a revelatory renaissance for the DNC, a real moment of self-aware house-cleaning. I was really hoping they would slim down and become a truly effective opposition party. Instead, it's Russians.

Given the lack of evidence and the unprecedented political climate, particularly the distraction from the emails themselves, I would like more evidence than "Trust the DNC and the CIA and the NSA when we say: Trump colluded with Russians to get elected!"

Do new Presidents have a meeting with Head Spook who says "Support our illegal, unethical mass surveillance program or we'll make everyone think you like to get peed on"?

Every single American should demand that evidence even if they despise Trump. The same destabilizing allegation can be made against anyone without that requirement for evidence irrespective of political persuasion. I would be this oppositional on behalf of Clinton, Biden, Obama, anyone. You should too.
Yep, this is crap, contaminants is the most likely and easiest explanation. This whole pressure to publish at any cost is killing science.
My understanding is it's necessarily either true or false, but may not be provably true or false. This could allow us to actually have an algorithm that solves all NP problems in P time, but ZFC can't prove it works for all inputs.

Edit: So in that case, what would it mean to add an axiom that P=NP? See https://mathoverflow.net/questions/50023/independence-of-p-n... especially the answer by Andreas Blass. Basically, you could add axioms that change the meaning of 'Turing machine' (ie 'computation') by changing the meaning of 'natural number' resulting in an algorithm witnessing P=NP that maybe can't be run on physical computers.

Way off topic...
I believe they are making depth perception using computer vision.

The idea is that if you can take an image and predict the distances to the objects in it, you can then create an image that is a transpose of the original based on your predictions, but at a different distance. In case of Tesla moving forward, that would be a split second later, closer to the original image. As the car moves forward, you actually take that second image and compare the virtual to the original.

At this point you probably get it wrong, but you adjust your predictions and recalculate until your virtual transposed image looks exactly like the real image, at which point you've got the distances pretty darn close.

I remember watching a talk about their computer vision, and it was pretty impressive. The challenge is that despite knowing where the billboards are, they still look that way because sometimes, in obscure situations, in little old towns with fuzzy rules, road signs actually do appear in weird places, and that's where the car often trips up because without sufficient data it just can't build a prediction model to know when to respond, and when to suppress the new input.

On the subject of grapes, my wife bought a packet of three varieties yesterday with the names printed on them: "sugranineteen", "sugrathirtyfive" and "sugrathirtyfour". Turns out these are highly selected grapes from this company: https://www.sun-world.com/proprietary-grape-varieties/ I notice you need a "licensee login" to read the details about the grapes.

Needless to say they didn't taste very good, mainly very sweet.

Oh please. Give this China obsession a rest. The Five Eyes/Eleven Eyes (whatever) are more likely to coalesce into a global totalitarian force (if not a govt per se) than China.
I think it is highly unlikely that a totalitarian government could be stable over an unlimited amount of time if the majority of the population does not approve... even if we have an orwellian dystopia, at some point someone of the "inner party" will decide that he can overthrow the powers that be with the aid of the population and become the next "great leader", which will lead to struggle, chaos, perhaps civil war and and eventually reset

> The questions asked were similar enough

Honestly I'm confused why people are so hot and bothered about the questions asked. Are any of you seriously surprised by the questions asked? Of course the candidates prepared to answer these questions. If they weren't prepared their prep team should be fired for being woefully incompetent. Seriously, all the questions are about the most popular topics. I honestly would have been shocked if Flint wasn't brought up considering it being part of the national conversation.

Should she have gotten them? No. Is it cheating? Yes. Is it a big fucking deal to detract from actual issues? No. It is just another example of minor cheating that they are doing constantly.

I could chew a piece 2 times, swallow, and wait 30 seconds before eating the next piece. Or I can chew 15 times, swallow, and immediately eat the next piece. If it's the 30 second wait that is the key rather than the actual chewing then you can tell people to focus on that rather than counting chews.

It would be surprising if the companies using Sciter (Norton, Avast, ESet, BitDefender) didn't have a copy of the source code with their commercial license, and the right to ship their own patched version with their software.

If the project ever fizzled away they would probably just maintain it themselves, or migrate to Electron. Actually, it's not like these AV companies are known for their high quality product, so it wouldn't surprise me if they would just let it bitrot until there are exploitable holes.
