It is actually most likely that they are doping, the history of revelations in these sports indicates that at various moments in the past, it WAS the case that any given elite athlete was most likely to be doping, it is probably the case now too.

It is possible to cheat to gain an advantage, and not get detected. People with the drive to become elite athletes in the first place, are very likely to be tempted. Once even 1 athlete in the sport is cheating, others will feel it is necessary to cheat with them to compete. This has happened over and over in every sport I know of.
Bubble rocks!
The wording of the title could be better. Isn't there an implication here that if in the minds of a sizeable public, X theory gains the label 'conspiracy', it's wrong by default? A significant number of conspiracy theories have turned out to be correct. Meeanwhile, who wouldn't be in favour of critical thinking regarding any subject at all?

For me personally, I think the deep space probes are the finest examples of man's ingenuity. The use of math and physics to plan and plot something like the journey of the Voyager probes across decades, to actually see it in action and working just as predicted is an amazing thing.

IIRC, the Jamaicans basically defunded their drug enforcement, hired known pro-doping coaches, basically have a "team chemist". The Jamaican sprinting explosion followed.

I want to make clear that Jamaica is not an outlier or "bad guy". Really they are small fry in the industrial olympic sports machine. What they really are is a window into what the big time countries do.

It of course helps that sprinting is a national obsession in Jamaica, so the best athletes do sprinting. But that's been true for a long time.

Personally, I do not think humans can run faster than 9.90 in the 100m without "aid". or under 20.00 in the 200, or under 44 in the 400m.

I do not think a human can run faster than 13:00 in the 5000m, or 27:00 in the 10,000m, or somewhere around 2:08 in the marathon.

But those are personal opinions.
>I've never seen a corded drill that was meant for driving screws as opposed to drilling only.

That's more a function of battery-powered drills being good enough and the stuff that requires a plug is designed to drill through concrete. My cordless Milwaukee has pressure-sensitive speed and a very granular torque setting, along with hammer drill and screw settings. My Ikea furniture is basically bulletproof.

Which one did you get? I just want a barebones one for exactly what you're saying.
Sure, but the phrase "it's a force with a magnitude that is proportional to the mass" is like me asking "how heavy are you?" and you replying "75 liters", expecting me to know that humans are basically the density of water.

My point is that it really seems like "gravity" is not a force, it's an acceleration, but there is something you could call "force due to gravity" that you reverse-engineer from the known acceleration, and that means you need to multiply by the mass. Clearly different masses will just cancel, so the resulting acceleration is the same.

I'm fine with saying "force due to gravity" or even "gravitational force". Which is what you're describing in your first sentence, and I have no disagreement with that. "Force of gravity" starts to sound a little off, and I bet if I ask "what is gravity at Earth's surface?" I'll get back "9.8 m/s^2", which is an acceleration not a force.
The person you are replying to isn't saying that he thinks this assumption is wrong, just that it is sad.
A hectare is 2.47 acres, almost an 11% difference from 2.2. Also the 9 was an abnormally high year (I think the highest ever in the UK?). This year is down 40%, which is the worst since the 1980s [0].

>Are we measuring different stuff?

Apparently.

Also, why use UK numbers to compare to a story on US agriculture, especially without mentioning you switched countries? Can I cite numbers from Congo without noting it?

>Surely yield in Uk can't be 3 times higher.

Sure it can - variation in wheat production has well over a 50x variation among countries. Not every country has the UK climate, or even the uniformity that the UK has. The climate and rainfall in the UK are very well suited to wheat production.

Also, I just posted the values. And here's [1] another place you can look. From this place you can select countries to compare them. The US is ~1/3 the output. The UK has exceptionally high numbers, nearly the highest in the world.

Pretty much every source I find is similar.

No. I don't believe any platform can auto-generate email rules better than I can. I'd absolutely hate if it ever happened that I missed an email because it got wrongly tagged with the low-priority label.

In fact, these days I have been relying on search a lot more. I just archive most stuff and then search when I need.

Also, I make a huge effort into unsubscribing from unwanted shit.

Edit: there's also the huge privacy issue in letting yet another company access my email. Why would I inflict that to myself?
It's part of a series "exploring how technological innovation is set to shape the new emerging economic landscape". They do run some of these softer business features quite often.

Kinda? South Park is more obscene, but I’ve seen quite a few Last Week Tonight clips where the takeaway is clearly meant to be “haha, those people are such dummies!” I really do get it, and I personally enjoy both shows, but the genre of political humor tends to inevitably involve cheap shots at political opponents.
Sounds like she was caught with a motorized bike.

> Van den Driessche had been taking part in the inaugural under 23 women’s event, which was won by Britain’s Evie Richards. The Belgian and European under 23 champion had gone in as a pre-race favourite but did not feature at the front. She was eventually forced off her bike on the final lap when she was struck by mechanical problems and ended up walking with her bike.

> Van den Driessche’s bike was taken for inspection along with several other bikes after the race. It quickly became apparent that something was wrong with her bike and news of the discovery quickly spread; however it is only this Sunday morning that they revealed their discovery. It gives Van den Driessche the dubious honour of being the first rider to be discovered to be using a motor. Incidentally, Van den Driessche’s brother Niels is currently suspended for doping.

In my experience, the problem isn't just reverse the instructions, but rather the furniture ins't as sturdy as it was the first time I built it.

Anecdotally, I just moved apparently. The the last two years my Malm bed was fantastic. Never made a noise no matter what I did on the bed. I could lay, kneel, have my dog run zoomies on it, and it was great. Then I took it apart to move apartments and you would have thought a banshee lived in the joints. Sitting, touching, it didnt matter that thing howled. We tried a few online solutions before doing the ultimate solution: buying a new frame.
Yup. Perhaps the language shouldn't matter as much, ideally maybe we'd talk about "runtime features" - which matter to the readers. "Single Binary, static link, No GC" etc. But the language serves to me as a small proxy for most of those attributes.

Tell me a game engine is written in Python or Go and i can infer a lot about the intended audience or runtime performance characteristics.

The HN crowd seems to be so annoyed by language recently, but to me they just scream of missing the point entirely. /shrug

FWIW I don't think Netflix pays as well for people doing more VFX-y python work in their pipelines. Have been contacted and wasn't impressed. It was also the case with others I know.

Yes accelerationism and eugenics are actually very popular around here as long as you present it in a certain way.
There is plenty of cow poop, so the scale isn't a problem. Having that cow poop stay where you put it (in the soil) rather than running off in the nearest creek/river or seep into the groundwater--that's the hard part.

Using cow poop is actually very smart. We (society) want meat so it is good to ensure efficient use of everything in that supply chain, using cow poop as a fertilizer is a great way to do that.

I am 100% for an assault on reason. Reason is the hibrisitic force that led a few hundred college grads at Rand to think they could guide an empire through wars of occupation from thousands of miles away.

Reason is the intoxicating brew that lends credibility to all kinds of quak medicine.

Reason has let theologians fabricate cathedrals in sky and then consecrate them with the blood of thousands.

Reason without the guide posts of empiricism is as deceitful as mysticism maybe moreso.

But that's the thing, if you ever used IM for a significant amount of time, you know you don't need punctuation. Question marks, yes, he's right about that.. but I certainly don't add periods at the end of every five word chat post. Maybe if you're writing a paragraph in Slack go for it, but if I have a few sentences to say I'll usually just send them in a few messages instead. This whole idea of writing formal multi-sentence messages in Slack shows the author's dissonance with how real-time-chat is supposed to work (keeping in mind that Slack is supposed to be next-generation-corp-IRC).
I don't know what you are considering examples of claims from the dossier or what you consider proven false means. Rather than me guessing, you could provide examples if you want me to make any effort to refute them. Otherwise I will point to the Wikipedia page which I believe backs up my previous comments[1]

>The media, the intelligence community, and most experts have treated the dossier with caution due to its unverified allegations, while Trump has denounced it as fake news...Some aspects of the dossier have been corroborated, in particular its main allegations that Putin and Russia actively favored Trump over Clinton and that many Trump campaign officials and associates had multiple secret contacts with Russians. However, many allegations in the dossier remain unverified. One allegation against Michael Cohen was dismissed by the Mueller Report, a court ruled that another of the claims was "inaccurate and misleading" and stated another claim was inaccurate. Goldman and Savage have described it as "deeply flawed". The Daily Telegraph has reported that anonymous sources believe Russian intelligence agencies may have sought to create doubt about the veracity of the dossier.

So if I understand this right, you (the author) are the only one who knows whether anything is good, your people are the only ones who can fix anything, and anyone who doesn't believe you is an idiot?

Please explain to me how this mode of thinking is distinguishable from being in a cult.

I would not work with this man. Anyone who cares enough about how "smart" they are by some arbitrary metric to write screeds about it would be intolerable to work with. Imagine what happens when they are, at long last, wrong about anything.

If this guy represents self-professed "winners", I'll take the losers any day.
I've put together an "argument map" on the authenticity of the emails, mostly so I could get a handle on all the pros/cons for this (there are many). This may be helpful for anyone looking for a summary:

This is also crowdsourced, and anyone can suggest additional arguments for any given point.
I would guess none, because Google Maps already uploads your position to Google for other use cases on a regular cadence. The only difference I can see is that when looking at the map and clicking on the other person's pin, the location gets immediately updated (within a few seconds), so that's the only extra battery usage.
This is what was known as GNU Ring and before that SFLphone.
If this were the case. Biden would be done because he could be blackmailed.
To be fair, "most people" have never read a single scientific paper on any topic. Most scientists, however, have read papers in their respective fields.

If one wants to apply the tin-foil hat theory that climate change is a product of the media industry, then one should also consider that claiming that science debunked climate change would also bring eyeballs. The fact that the mainstream media as well as independents universally report on climate change being true (vs say the effects of various foods on weight loss) should say something about the underlying scientific consensus.
Potatoes (if you eat the skin) and milk would theoretically be a balanced diet, supplemented with fish/occasional meat it was pretty much the Irish diet pre-potato famine.

I've been dealing with a minor, but frustrating condition for the past few months. I don't know yet if it's chronic, but it very well may be.

Some of my thoughts have already been shared by others, but I try not to push myself as much as I used to do. I still try to do things I enjoyed before such as light exercise, taking long walks, and hanging out with friends (carefully, obviously, because of COVID). I might not go for a long bike ride, it doesn't mean I can't stay active without stressing my body beyond what would cause symptoms to flare.

The more I can keep my mind of symptoms by working, spending time with family and friends, and moving around, the less depressed I am.

I also try to educate myself on my condition/symptoms. I try not to diagnose myself or come to solid conclusions. However, I feel like having a greater knowledge of anatomy and physiology with regard to my situation aids in asking appropriate questions to my physicians and understanding their feedback.

Calling QAnon 'fearmongering' tells us that you don't know anything about it... Just inform yourself before repeating nonsense, thank you.
You learn strategies for getting through some days, some days nothing works, and some days are pretty much completely normal... and you never get enough normal days.

A good healthcare team really helps, but it's pretty rare to find in America, and even harder to keep hold on when insurers change and coverage is all over the map. Therapy helps some - I don't get much benefit from the group stuff, but one-on-ones, knowing someone actually understands and believes you is a huge boon.

I personally find no reason to not share my experience and I'm honest when I'm having a bad pain day and someone asks me how I'm doing - there's a reality that pain colors moods and decisions, so it's worth others knowing. If you can't trust your coworkers or employer not to discriminate against you for that, then you're probably working in the wrong place.

But, one day at a time is the only way you really can take it.
I think your provocative comment belies a challenging truth: federated trust. I can be a rational person and in my rationality delegate the conclusions on climate questions to those who are funded to spend their time, with my trust essentially delegating to the peer reviewed journals and journalists describing their work.

We don’t however need science or such federated rationality to tell us what 2+2 is, rather why 1+3 in floating point is not 4,

I will completely trust your superior level of experience in this area regarding the coding approach.

I see you're getting downvoted heavily. I think you make a fair point. I've tried to find good sources on climate material to do my own research, because I'm a skeptic at heart.

I'd love to see a climate wiki that compiled studies / charts / resources for people to actually read the literature - vs the hysterics of the media.
Forgive yourself for not being able to do everything you want to do. Learn to say no. If your illness has a predictable progression, start now in trying to redesign your work and hobbies to still be things you can do in ten years.

I can no longer do karate, my main hobby for over a decade and in which I have a second degree black belt. This is among my greatest regrets as I partially picked it because I thought I'd be able to do it until I was in my 70s. No such luck, alas, life is unpredictable.

I can no longer always work a full day, so I started a consulting company to be able to work at home on a schedule that aligns with my health rather than a clock.

I can no longer play the piano, give massages, do origami, or use a mouse comfortably. The primary emotion at losing these things is often grief. Acknowledge that and be okay with being sad about it but get therapy if you need someone to talk to.

There's no shame in it and it took me easily two years to learn to forgive myself for turning down invitations from friends to do things.
To believe that to be a major concern, you'd have to seriously consider the possibility of science being a made up conspiracy theory. Which is a deep rabbit hole that ends up either in an existential crisis or a psych ward.
That, and letting one instrument run and shutting down communication would probably be even less useful.
People ignore inconvenient facts all the time.

I'm sure we've all talked ourselves into a stupid decision or two because you really wanted something.
