I am sure you have firm beliefs about many things that you have not read papers about. You trust the field that studies these things is not full of charlatans.

If the reason to believe proposition P is that the experts who study this thing say it, most people believe P. That people with obvious non-scientific motives to assert !P do assert !P is not considered evidence of scientific controversy but rather of the non-scientific motives that were obvious in the first place.
That should be just a matter of making firewall blocks at least a /64, and considering scans/source-ips also as a netblock instead of individual ip's.
So did Festina, and so did practically every other cycling team in the EPO-nuts 90s.

Armstrong has a toxic personality, but nevertheless he is the scapegoat of that generation of cycling. If you know cycling, there is a rotating cast of champions heralded for their clean competition that are then cast aside as scapegoats: Festina, Armstrong, Team Garmin, Team Sky.
i guess you could say his livelihood was dependent on feeling very optimistic that floods wouldn't happen.
You trust Firefox (Mozilla), Mozilla trusts Digicert. If you don't trust Mozilla to make good security decisions, switch browsers. If you want to second-guess this particular decision, you can adjust your Firefox configuration.
Could be possible that some weed adapts to grow through the bush or something, what i like specially about this is using legumes as both cover and fertilizer, which is something permaculture uses a lot too. Also it's reminiscent of how corn was traditionally grown, with beans as nitrogen fixing and squash as ground cover. But on the long run, my bet is on diversity instead of monocrops.

I agree -- shut the border completely or not at all; but I was referring more about where it started rather than where it spread to.
It would just be really easy to exploit the system, and ensuring that only authorized users have access opens them up to all kinds of restrictions on how they can process user data. e.g. I believe Google mentioned that their root GCP KMS keys are only accessible to a handful of people at the company.

Not to mention: being inundated with requests from law enforcement would impose significant operational costs on the industry. Just being able to shrug when asked for this kind of data probably saves a lot of man hours.
> "Most people who believe in climate change have never..."

A few reactions.

(1) How do you even know this? This is not even a verifiable claim, it's just a derisive comment.

(2) Additionally, it is an elementary logical fallacy. "I claim the other side is not sufficiently educated about X, therefore X is not true."

(3) In this case, many sources in "the media" (your term, and again, a derisive and non-specific term, like your earlier "most people") are broadly correct. That is: serious assessments like the National Climate Assessment [1], summarizing the current state of the science, substantiate that there will be many varied and serious impacts of climate change.

My reaction exactly. Wikipedia says that the younger Petrosian was deliberately named after the older.
I'm 20 and I've noticed how true this is. I find myself "code switching" depending on who I'm messaging at work.

I've had a few profs that would the ellipsis for every single sentence, and my brain subconsciously treated his emails as mysterious. It's not too bad once you get used to it.

There's also the weird thing of younger people like myself avoiding proper punctuation/capitalization for the aesthetic. Mainly because a lack of proper writing can make certain messages feel more "relaxed" and casual, if that makes sense.
A few years back, I used Yesod. It was very nice because of the type-safety from top to bottom. Especially nice in combination with esqueleto.

I tend to agree there are probably a bunch of armchair climate scientists due to the political environment although I don't know if I would generalize to "most people". I recall being required to read scientific papers on climate change in a few classes as part of my undergraduate studies. I wouldn't be surprised if many others did as well, possibly even during high school.
I rented a room in a house in San Jose through the absolute garbage company that was HubHaus.

The person who owned the home and rented it to hub haus had bought the home like 4 years before I moved in and had a bunch of work done by shady contractors without a permit.

Well in 2019 Cali finally got out of its drought and the deck that sloped into the house connected to my room had water pool on it and then leak into the house.

Landlord claimed it had never happened before and so clearly it was my fault. Hub Haus being the spineless crooks they are sided with the landlord despite clear evidence of code violations and lack of permits.
Trey Stone and Matt Parker are geniuses. True satirists in a world where satire of certain forms is not allowed (i.e. you cannot satire Hollywood or SJ issues in entertainment) and they've taken on considerable risk by doing that (i.e. mocking the Hollywood entertainment system).

They are literally one of the only entities in the US to point-blank take on Chinese censorship.

They are comedians, not Scientists, they're allowed to step out of bounds and be 'wrong' that's the point - it's not even about 'right or wrong' for gosh sakes.

Anyone taking literal social cues from an antagonizing cartoon is going to be led astray.

The 'Assault on Reason' is coming from a lot of angles these days.
This is cool! Have you guys considered going into modern board games too? Some of the rules can be quite complex (1-2 hours explaining rules, getting through the first couple of rounds), and there's quite high demand for people figuring them out on say, TTS. Think Splotter games, Brass, etc.
Is that really hopelessly outdated? I'm aware that new features like type hints ad dataclasses are enabling people to do some very cool things but you'd hope the majority of the language skills and patterns are still transferrable?
Curious, what new has been found?
> SBCL, is written in C

SBCL is written in C, a bit assembly and most of the code is written in Common Lisp. For example the compiler which generates native code for various processors is written in Common Lisp. A lot of code can be written from Common Lisp, which calls external OS routines via Foreign Function Calls. Thus there is not much C-based glue code needed.

In GNU Emacs the execution engine running the byte code is written C. The byte code compiler is written in Emacs Lisp.
> - The laptop had emails on it that were previously not public

Have yet to be authenticated though?

> - They have Hunter's signature on the drop off receipt

Can't find a source for this - only that it says "Hunter Biden". Do you have a handy URL?

> - Hunter's attorney requested the hard drive back (they have the request in writing)

Again, can't find a source that doesn't say "allegedly" in the sentence. Do you have a handy URL with proof?

> - The FBI subpeonaed the laptop

Given they seem to think it's a Russian disinformation play being made through the campaign team of POTUS, yeah, I'd expect them to be going through it with a fine toothcomb to find out who, where, when, etc.

> The DNI himself says it's not a Russian disinformation campaign

Alas, his credibility is probably lower even than Guiliani's.

> that there's not intelligence saying it is

The FBI seem to be approaching things from the point of view that it is a Russian op. Awkward!

> No one in the Biden campaign has denied the laptop itself is genuine

They've also not denied that Hunter Biden is a lizard person. SUSPICIOUS.
"Finally, yes MONOSPACE is named after the font family used to write the text, to gain a few bytes."

Of the last six Presidential administrations, zero out of six have made the federal government smaller. Four of them were Republicans.
Sometimes security features are a blunt hammer and it takes time to develop a more nuanced solution. And if it's everything as reported, Android 12 will include this ability.
My story: at age 24 during taking shower I suddenly experienced pain in left part of my head. It felt like inflamation. It stayed for about 10 years and devastated my life every single day. I considered that chronic. I never gave up. Fast forward to present: I'm 45 and still have very faint feeling of inflamation on a bad day. How I dealt with the problem: changed my lifestyle, diet, sleeping habits. Mindfulnes and creativity are best cure.
The graun is a tabloid these days.
A few things that aren't obvious come up. Like how stoicism can get you more help. So what you do is you say you're feeling great. Spend time with others talking about nonsense. Then you ask for help only when it really counts.

This seems selfless but it quite shrewd really, most people actively enjoy helping somebody occasionally but loathe becoming an actual martyr for somebody. When you're vulnerable you can't really let your health depend on somebodies honor and grace under pressure.

The help you receive is a limited resource. If you piss people off or stress them out until they're sick themselves you're gonna be vulnerable when that tank is on empty. You can't evaluate if it's worth to take a day off sick or ask for help without considering the impact it will likely have on others. You have to ration and time things correctly using stoicism. It may seem a bit lonely and fake but it's what's best for everybody.
If his arguments were clear and interesting, it would be a different story.

This person purports to have "a theory of everything" up his sleeve yet won't communicate it properly because he doesn't trust the physics community. That doesn't stop him from lengthy podcasts and interviews, like with Lex, where he uses a firehose of specialist jargon against a general audience. To what end? I can't imagine.

The obscurantist IDW stuff appears to be nothing more than a vaguely libertarian stance mildly against progressives and mostly in academia-- boring and not even close to "dissident".
I often interpret ellipses at the end of a sentence as an inability to express oneself in a written form.
IHP is really optimized for getting stuff done and shipped very fast. There are many existing haskell frameworks already that give you lots of options and make you decide on everything.

We try to have a single standard way of doing things to allow you to focus on actually building things instead of solving technical problems.

This standard setup allows us to also e.g. offer a standard deployment process: https://twitter.com/digitallyinduce/status/13134104697854074...

Most electric screwdrivers are anyway not marked with torques.

Instead you start low and increase the setting one click at a time until the screw is seated properly, then use that setting for the rest of the screws.
Second order differential equations, they seem to pop up everywhere. Particularly relevant to classical mechanics. Also gives rise to the metal model of second order consequences of actions.

The concept of bootstrapping. How to start something from nothing that eventually becomes self sustaining.

Compound interest and exponential growth. Particularly relevant to investing as well as the personal ‘growth’ mentality. The natural exponent that was discovered from compound interest is everywhere in mathematics and physics.
Big +1 to both of those.

The Cypher System is probably closer to D&D, but the combat / rules / stats are a lot more streamlined, so in my experience it's easier to jump between narrative and action.

Monster of the Week is a bigger (and welcome!) departure from the traditional TTRPG formula, and is probably closer to what GP was looking for -- it's a very light "game" system on top of the players building a story together with the DM.
The state divides aren't nearly as significant as the urban/rural divides. Practically every state red or blue has blue cities and red rural areas.

Correct me if I'm wrong please, but the 'curved space' strategy describes the velocity of two objects in a 2 body scenario, but it doesn't describe the behavior when the two objects have zero velocity relative to each other, right?

The 'two spheres in a box' experiment for testing the gravitational constant has no relative velocity at all, so how could 'curved space' describe the force between them?

That depends what you mean by "campaign"[0] (or "is", I suppose[1]).

We saw in the 2019 election that individual MPs[2] and even the parties themselves[3] were willing to create electoral alliances for a single issue goal. It is not inconceivable then that an alliance could be formed (perhaps in the aftermath of a hung parliament, or in the run up to a close election) where MPs agreed to introduce a voting system which made the minimum possible change to the existing procedure while also making all future "standing down candidates" alliances unnecessary.

i have recently wondered why there seem to be no audio only games.

voice input to give game commands and audio responses. like an audio version of text based roleplaying games. but many other games are possible.

what would prevent that from working?
Hi -

I'd like to go into a bit more detail than just mentioning this out of the blue - unfortunately in a bad spot to do that right now.

"A New Estimate of the Average Earth Surface Land Temperature Spanning 1753 to 2011" from the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature Project:

http://static.berkeleyearth.org/papers/Results-Paper-Berkele...

This paper confirmed the warming trend and came from someone who was a somewhat skeptical outsider to the climatology field. Author Richard Muller wrote in 2011:

When we began our study, we felt that skeptics had raised legitimate issues, and we didn't know what we'd find. Our results turned out to be close to those published by prior groups. We think that means that those groups had truly been very careful in their work, despite their inability to convince some skeptics of that. They managed to avoid bias in their data selection, homogenization and other corrections.

Its publication helped to separate actual scientific skeptics of anthropogenic global warming from dogmatic contrarians. Warming "skeptic" Anthony Watts, for example, said that he would accept whatever results came out of the BEST group, regardless of whether it confirmed his premise. After the BEST results confirmed mainstream climatology, he dismissed them as flawed.
Especially if you're based in the US, this is your best one-stop shop for an overall summary assessment of the science:

I'm curious what sport. My wife is a swimmer and had to make the choice to either dope and compete at an international level or give it up. She chose to give it up. And this wasn't a shock or anything. She knew the decision was coming since she first showed promise in high school.
Wasn't John Travolta, who privately owns five airplanes and has an airport in front of his mansion, one of those climate warriors, too?
A lot of PED's also allow you to heal much faster.
Unstructured messages in a serious place is annoying, yes, but in a water cooler area it can set a more relaxed tone. It's a cultural thing and I'd never force someone to endure my style of communication in a place where it's not welcome.
Oh really, what was it that he was building in 2002, and how did that work out?
Indeed, I’ve seen the type a couple of times before. They usually show up when an aloof management admits to themselves they have run out of ideas and want to introduce “transformational” thinking into an established team. They’ll typically fanny around for a few weeks, make a few noises that sound like no true Scotsman, annoy everybody, break a few things and then move on to the next thing when they burn out. How do I know this? I have been that guy.
I can't imagine the phosphates and nitrogen are especially good for the trees, either. TFA says the wastewater is "treated", but it's not specific on just how much they clean it. Presumably more than nothing and less than enough to return it to the municipal water supply.
Destabilize the most powerful country in the world and then swoop in to fill that power vacuum. What has transpired in Syria is a prime example.

The problem is this is a very inefficient donation: A third of it goes to a greedy for-profit corporation that actively causes societal harm.

If you're using Play Store credit for it, sure, nobody but Google is paying the bill. But for everyone else who buys the app, it's a pretty poor donation method.
I am a huge fan of roguelikes and I casually develop one of my own for fun (in a very very early stage of development) so anything like this instantly gets my upvote.

This article is super sweet to see and the cogmind creator writes more about development for Roguelikes more than anyone else I know. Truly a wonderful resource in the community.

I am however surprised by the omission of what I consider to be an obvious example of multi-tile creatures which would be vehicles in Cataclysm: DDA

I suppose a vehicle is not a creature, but I think that for all intents and purposes, that the implementation details will be very similar. I think it's also possible to get AI controlled vehicles which are functionally very very similar to a creature.

Of course, he may have left out Cataclysm DDA because its implementation is funky. You'll notice this if you take a pickup truck and turn in diagonal, suddenly opening up half of your vehicle to zombies despite it being closed when the vehicle oriented in any of the four standard directions (up, down, left, right)

I remember discovering this formula by accident when I was a junior in high school. I was messing around on my Ti-83, when I discovered that `e^(i*pi)` resulted in `-1`. That blew my mind, so I showed my pre-calc teacher and he thought it was just a calculator glitch because it didn't know how to calculate imaginary powers.

I kind of forgot about it until the full formula surfaced in one of my electrical engineering classes in college and I realized I had (partially) stumbled across the formula by accident a few years earlier!
I think it's important to note that the second blood draw is to detect drugs which are currently banned, but not known how to test for.
Some of these paragraphs honestly sound like postapocalyptic anxiety horror rather than a regular care. Not my business ofc, but maybe it is worth to double-check that it's not an "overprotection" at your side.
Know exactly what your illness allows you. Once you start pushing yourself you will be tempted to ignore these limits - don't. Be upfront and honest with yourself. Learn to say no.
From what I remember (where I am obviously), the Department of Water division of the Department of Natural resources surveys pretty much all of the area of the state. When someone builds something in a new place, there is quite a bit of research that goes into water tables, flood zones, etc. I would assume they map that out, but honestly I can't say for certain. I do know that it's occurred on occasion that rules get "bent" to make certain things happen. It's politics and money, and permitting is a high visibility job.
Can anyone explain what allows transformers trained on text to generalize to images?
For me it is a matter of investing time and interest into products. I still remember discovering Google Spaces and thinking that it was something I could actually use to plan activities and stuff, only for it to be cancelled in a couple of weeks.
It is enough to go from top 500 class to number 1 though. Obviously you need to be good first, but once you are that good you can sometimes quickly figure out the computers plan by looking. Remember the tree of possible moves in any games quickly gets far too wide for a computer (much less human) to search, but if you are given one move you can often see a plan that you didn't think of. (this plan might not be what the computer saw!)

Often I'll take the kids out for a walk, and my wife may or may not want to join us depending on where we are. Because she can easily look up my location, she can make that decision without needing to talk to me.

Also from Orwell: "In our age there is no such thing as ‘keeping out of politics’. All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred, and schizophrenia. When the general atmosphere is bad, language must suffer. [...] But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought. A bad usage can spread by tradition and imitation even among people who should and do know better."[a]

Hey at least you've gained the introspection to realize it. That takes effort. I've also been that guy, and hope I am not still.
Yes the considerable risk of producing a wildly popular television show on Comedy Central. So brave and risky.
It's also based on simulations. They army corp of engineers runs simulations to figure out where the flood planes are and also where they can dump water in the case of flooding. Saved new orleans about 10 years ago from being completely underwater.
