It's true that you can't buy a whole jackfruit at the grocery store in most of the US but I've always been able to find good restaurants of some variety with minimal effort. It's real hard to justify SF prices based on food options.
I didn't define as I want to, I pointed to the fact that the meaning in old dictionaries used to be increase in money supply.

My point doesn't depend on this tho, measuring inflation by rising prices isn't ideal, because you will be measuring multiple things at once, and only the people lose in that case.

Prices can rise and fall for multiple reasons, and knowing why helps to fix it.

If the price goes up because of a shortage, the increase in price helps stimulate more production.

Governments get the advantage of being able to inflate the money supply to the point were it prevents prices from falling, ensuring easier reelection at the price of the people paying more for things and effectively taxing savers.
Apple does pay dividends. Google and Amazon do not.

Regarding dividends, in theory when company spends $1 per share on a dividend, its stock price should go down by $1 to compensate for this.
So receiving a dividend is kind of like forced selling a small portion of your stock (except that you don't pay the transaction fee).

Pizzagate and QAnon started because many people understand something is fucked up but lack the correct tools to understand the systemic problems of society (of which you and I would probably disagree as I blame capitalism and imperialism) so they invent conspiracies to explain the world around them. In many cases, their conservative, libertarian, or liberal ideology does not permit them to critique the systems around them, so they must find some other way to explain the situation, which revolves around (non-system challenging) elite conspiracies. It's difficult to disabuse people of the fake conspiracies because real conspiracies against the public are routine. Some are boring (such as the SV conspiracy to depress software engineer wages). Some are exciting, such as what the CIA is publicly documented to have done overseas by selling cocaine to fund their black operations in the Iran-Contra scandal.

Also, there was a kernel of truth to Pizzagate and QAnon. Look at the Clinton's relationship to Jeffery Epstein. However, the right was unable to metabolize real existing issues and started fantasizing about a fascist coup executed by the president (whom they say rejected Epstein after he found out what he was up to... but didn't do anything about it). They make up concepts like he's tagging and bagging hollywood celebrities and subjecting them to military tribunals but replaced them with clones.

You can't beat a political problem with a technocratic solution, especially one that is proven not to work and that harms real people.

I see Jaron Lanier’s position as exactly the opposite, in an interesting accounting of second order effects.

“We shape our tools, and then our tools shape us.”

You are imagining that AI is going to be fantastically impactful in reducing human drudgery, which might lead to a flowering of human potential. JL argues that since most AI applications today perceive human development as increasing consumption (and people’s interaction with the products/services they use is very passive) — which means that as AI gets better, the ambient environment discourages human development. Imagine you satisfied every whim of a child, making it so comfortable that it never has to “grow” — that’s how technology is infantilizing us (AI is just the latest and most impactful layer on top).

> I live the present and believe (perhaps naively) I have some agency to impact the future.

To give the lion’s share of the credit/benefits/power to AI/algorithms vests all the agency in the hands of those who can control/influence them, and condemns those who cannot to a life “below the API” (even if they might be crucial to generate training data) where their voices are drowned out.

As JL says multiple times, he is very excited about (the same) AI research when we perceive it as “just” code/models/linear-algebra, because then suddenly the questions we pose are from a position of much higher human agency (probing the system and how we might influence it), rather than a position of awestruck breathless learned helplessness to the machine.

Oh yes that would be nice. A bunch of PoE HomePod minis with WiFi 6 would work great in my house to replace my 802.11ac UniFi setup.

I'm really dreaming big now, but some sort of AirPort central base station with SFP+ for my FTTH connection and 4xPoE to power and feed a bunch of HomePods would be brilliant.

Lets put it this way: of all the policies that the OP sounded off on, which ones, if any, have had legislation pass through the senate addressing them? None?

Spare me the talk of 'tyranny of the minority' in the senate. It's really telling as to the maturity level of those involved when the basis for calling out 'tyranny' is that those in the legislature simply say "no" to your whims, especially when those seeking change are more than capable of implementing those changes more locally but choose not to.
Lol. Adopt an open protocol built by Nest and then make it exclusive to Apple devices. Very revolutionary indeed
As pointed out in the article, 14- to 16-year-old girls often win gymnastics championships (and in fact nobody over the age of 20 has won the olympic all-around since 1972), whereas no man under the age of 20 has ever won an olympic all-around. Being a grown adult is a huge advantage in men's gymnastics and a massive disadvantage in women's.

(I have a kid of each gender in local gymnastics programs and I have to carefully keep this stuff in mind. It's great that the kids are strong, and gymnastics makes people absurdly strong, but I don't think I would ever let my daughter anywhere near a high-level competitive program.)
Microsoft Patch Tuesday, October 2020 Edition
I'd say I'm about an #FFCD94 or so.

I've also started adding more salmon into my diet. A 100g serving seems to be about 500 IU of vitamin D. Apparently fat helps with absorption of vitamin D, so it seems like a good way to get it. Still, not sure it would be enough, and I'm not willing to forego the supplement this winter to see where I'd end up.

"Just following orders"

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_orders
Really WPD more fundamentally arrives from the “conversion” of the probability wave (living in configuration space as you put it) into properties in 3D physical space. Measuring the QM system is analogous to a Fourier transformation and has the same mathematical limitations arising from a Fourier transform from wave to discrete space. Depending on the question you ask (tied to the convolution function) you get either discrete particle answers or wavelike answers. The probability wave does live in 3D space AFAICT, but the QM properties like spin, charge, momentum etc are tied into that 3D space and form a combined configuration space.

The really odd part to me is that at macro scales the probability waves collapse neatly into classic physics in 3D space, but still react in quantum fashion at small local atomic scales. As in the configuration spaces generally can only be determined for small subsystems but not a whole macro system without the “conversion” step.
I was referring to human genetics.
> I mean, maybe the human body really does have such a tight tolerance, it really needs 75% of what would be dangerous to maximize health.

Since your body produces Vitamin D from sunlight - and that process is self-limiting - it's certainly biologically possible that the margins really are that small. Historically most people spent far more time outside than we do now.

Unfortunately if that is true, the only reliable way to get the dosing right without expensive testing would probably be sun exposure, which many people simply aren't going to get with modern lifestyles. There's also no evolutionary reason why there couldn't be an inherent trade-off between Vitamin D and UV-related skin damage/skin cancer: evolution tends towards "good enough" rather than "perfect".

I'm a little surprised that the article talks about keywords and not keyphrases. I've found those to be more valuable, especially in the long term, since they're typically harder to unseat if the keywords are too generic. I've set up a quick process for targeting keyphrases in sites and pages that I want to boost.

First, I figure out how much interest is in a phrase that is related to what my site is about. I'll go to Google and Bing and start searching for various keywords and see what autocomplete suggests. If the suggestions are relevant, I'll follow them and note roughly how many results there are and how relevant the top results are to the phrase.

Next, I'll go to trends.google.com and compare the most relevant phrases to see how many searches are being performed for each. Then I compare that against the list of quality results to see where the biggest gaps are. That helps me to identify the phrase that I want to target.

Then, I'll plug the phrase changes into the page that I want new users to land on (typically just the homepage, but this can sometimes be a particular section or article, depending on the site and its goals).

Then, I'll go to seowarp.com and throw the page through a Full Scan which reports on phrasing information. Near the bottom, there's a "Duplicate Content" section that will compare similarities between pages, so if there's anything that is textually similar to my target page, I'll adjust it to drive more attention to the target one for relevancy. I'll also do a Single Page scan for my target page. The results of that scan will have a "First Five Targetted Keywords Detected" section that will show any keyphrases that are found on the page. Again, I'll make sure that my target phrase appears and cull any others that might be taking away any attention from it.

After that looks good, I'll distribute links to the page that contains the phrase. Usually I'll see results start popping up within a week, but can take longer depending on the strength of the campaign.

NATO is realpolitik. It might be that you don't know its origins, what it represents and what its mechanisms are. I recommend you study it. And by the way: It goes both ways. The defence pact is reciprocal. When the US is attacked, all members of NATO are obliged to contribute for its defense and offense as well. It is not a one way thing where the US only contributes one direction.

It is most certainly NOT braindead. You Sir, are wrong.

Not the parent but my daughters have refused to upgrade from their original iPhone SEs because all the newer phones are so much bigger and more slippery.

Personally, I went from an 8+ to an 11 because the 11 fits better in my pants pocket. I thought about the 11 Pro just because of the smaller size but couldn't justify the price.

Six months from now (after 5G gets proven one way or the other) the 12 Mini would be really tempting.
A lot of these issues sound like bad workmanship and not inherent to the prefab process.

You provided one very weak piece of supporting evidence and expect us to consider that a validation of your otherwise completely unfounded claim regarding China having a high death rate and hiding it? You are projecting when it comes to claims of shifting goalposts and lazy rhetoric.

Let's go back to your original claim, shall we? "China was trucking in loads of urns every day that were more than ten times larger then their reported death rates; doesn't that count as visible evidence?" No, China was not trucking in loads of urns every day. There was one _single_ report of a large shipment and from the picture provided it would have trouble filling a single truck, certainly not 'loads.' Then there is that 'every day' lie. It was one single day. So yes, for a single day in March it was 'every day' and then for each day thereafter it was not. The number of urns delivered was double the reported death rate and not ten times. It would appear that every single clause of your short claim was wrong. I have a hard time seeing how that counts as supporting evidence.
Not if you’re a blue collar conservative who’s more familiar with a backhoe than a computer. To me, this is reminiscent of the print shop that recently sabotaged thousands of NYC mail-in ballots: obvious, but in theory plausibly deniable.

>This isn't true.

Fair, I'm willing to concede that transportation incidents are fungible for the purposes of this discussion. That segues right into the question of relative safety per unit distance traveled. A quick google search brought up this article from the washington post [0] which gives the following:

Motorcycle: 212.57 fatalities per billion passenger miles

Car: 7.28

Ferry: 3.17

Train: 0.43

Subway: 0.24

Bus: 0.11

Plane: 0.07

Granted this is skewed by cars being the only viable last-mile rural transportation method but we can examine that too. According to USDOT, urban motor vehicle crash deaths overtook rural crash deaths in 2016 in a reversal of the previous longstanding trend of deaths being 60% rural and 40% urban [1]. You _do_ still have the problem of people dying as a result of private industry, but the rate at which people die per mile is an order of magnitude lower if you take the bus versus a car. That's almost 90 lives saved per day if we all rode the bus. I suspect this rate is tied to CDL and bus maintenance standards and would remain largely unchanged if buses became the transportation method of the majority.

>I'd argue that this is both a tiny proportion of deaths and a tiny influence.

I'd love to see some data but given what I've seen of the local street racer scene and how they view certain movie franchises that glorify their subculture I think the influence is significant. Would society be better if we straight up banned everything that shows people doing bad stuff? Probably not, but media still has a tremendous impact on how people behave. It's again a case where an industry offloads negative externalities onto society.

>I think governments could reduce the number of deaths far more greatly by having more stringent licensing guidelines (including regular re-testing), safer roads, saner zoning policies, better public transit options, etc. than by silencing any speech that suggests a correlation between speed and fun.

Forcing manufacturers to deal with the externalities we're discussing would also incentivize them to encourage safe driving, no? I used to be a vocal proponent of not yielding an inch of freedom as well but I'm less and less convinced about that as time goes on. Just because the harm isn't as immediate as people getting trampled 30 seconds after one yells fire in the crowded theater doesn't mean it's still not real harm that could've been avoided. There's a significant amount of internal propaganda here in the US about how amazing freedom is but I'm really not sold on the idea that the average person's life here is better as a result of it compared to a society that recognizes the complexity and interconnectedness of the world and responds to it with structure rather than "individual freedom" and a literal world-leading number of people sitting around making license plates in jail.

No, it's available as a self-serve upgrade from the admin panel. Sales might be able to give discounts, but that's not very likely for an "enterprise" with 1 user :)
There's no single confluence where every application's needs are provided by a single C/C++ implementation's default allocator. I'll just speak to one example off the top of my head: the default glibc malloc() stores an allocation size near or below the actual allocation data itself. In contrast, an alternative like jemalloc tracks the size in a separate control block. When freeing allocations with the former, that memory has to be touched; with the latter, the control block has to be touched instead. Similarly it can lead to less or more efficient packing of aligned data. All of this yields better or worse performance depending on the application.
Why is Montreal up 24% YOY?
IMO the easiest implementation would always break into an index and sitemap(s) as needed. 49,999 URLs? 1 index and 1 sitemap. 50K+ URLs? 1 index and sitemaps as needed.
This gives you the most consistent output and users who cross the 50K threshold over time will not need to update their sitemap in search tools to be compliant since pointing to the index will already deal with that.
The study is mainly based on the results of this meta-analysis: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4103214/ which showed an increase mortality risk for patients < 30ng/L

They seem to say the confounders were corrected for in most studies but drawing a causal link between vit D and mortality purely from observational data is shaky.

They say:

>> Differences in the amount of adjustment may account for some of the heterogeneity that was present among studies. All studies adjusted for age, and most adjusted for other covariates. Even with extensive adjustment, residual confounding is always possible. Confounding is also possible by factors that were not measured, such as genetic predisposition. It is inherently difficult to completely exclude any possibility of confounding in observational studies, so caution in interpretation of the findings is appropriate.

>> Supplements of 2000 to 4000 international units (IU) per day of vitamin D3 would produce an approximately 20 to 40 ng/mL increase in serum 25(OH)D.65,66

But the conclusion about the usefulness of Vit D supplementation can only be drawn from Randomised controlled trials:

>> Two randomized controlled clinical trials using 2000 IU per day of vitamin D3 are under way in the United States, a study designed to replicate the study by Lappe et al.,8 and a new randomized controlled trial by Manson et al.67 These studies will not have results available for several years.
Yes, that is a conditional. We won't remain the world's reserve currency forever.
Same thing about the iPhone 12 Pro Max on its page. I guess that's part of the reason why those two devices go on sale later than their respective counterparts.
USD won't collapse as long as the US has a tech monopoly and is the only source of certain high tech electronics, biotech, and aerospace components. As long as the US is the only source of key technologies, countries will continue to maintain a stockpile of USD so they can buy/pay license fees. If another country develops an alternate ecosystem that's equal in capability (looking at China) then you'll see the collapse of the USD's global value, especially if both sides start a price war.

>Or, more quantitatively, the Joyo Kanji has 364 simplified characters out of 2,136 (~17%) [1] while the mainland China simplified probably about 2,000 out of 7,000 common characters (~28%) [2].

It's 17% and 28%, but much, much higher for the most commonly used characters, which is where the divergence between simplified and traditional grows even more.

>This divergence is not the biggest deal, but still big enough to refute the claim that Japanese is easier to learn because it's "non-simplified" (there may be other valid reasons though).

I didn't make that claim. Maybe your talking about another thread?

It's not that it's easier to learn, it's that the path of going Japanese -> Korean -> Chinese is the easier, most logical path. The diverging simplified Chinese standard characters being a large reason behind that.
All the QE since 2007 has also caused massive inflation in real estate, and it's ongoing. Housing is actually rising in some markets in spite of record unemployment and a high risk of many mortgage defaults.
5000IU is the dose that most Vit D supplements come in.. its just a tiny little gelcap. And it's extremely accessible, you can get it in any drug store or online for not very much money.
