Not so much one group, but rather I was thinking of the directionality of emotional arguments. "Think of the children!" and all that. In a competition between a powerful emotional argument and logical counters to it (uninformed vs informed), the uninformed will not be voting randomly.

These are almost lateral approaches and very different from each other though, with MRI being more like a sonar scan and colonoscopies more like sending a submarine equipped with a camera into the depths.

Both can be very useful and helpful in aiding diagnosis with more data points.

Case in point, I have had an MRI (which showed nothing), several CT scans (which showed temporary blockage) and both methods have not really led to a conclusive diagnosis.

I was diagnosed at age 41 with colorectal cancer. My GP had ignored my complaints about it a year earlier, and dismissed it (without a rectal exam) as "probably hemorrhoids." A year later, he thought better of it and sent me for a consult with a specialist who instantly spotted a 5cm mass in my rectum.

A year later, while doing a followup from my surgery, I mentioned how cavalier my GP was to the surgeon who saved my life. He said that many doctors don't really think of colon cancer for anyone under 50 unless there's a family history.

That was 15 years ago, and the medical community has generally understood that colorectal cancer can occur far earlier than previously expected.
A battery management system handles this.

You still charge the pack in series, but the BMS will discharge cells that have a higher voltage than others. This results in all cells having similar charge levels.

It doesn't change the charge time, though. You're putting the same amount of energy into the pack either way. 14.8V @ 100mA applied to 4 cells in series is the same energy as 3.7V @ 100mA applied to 4 cells individually. Can't escape the laws of physics.

If power efficiency is critical (solar applications, for example), the BMS might have fancy switching circuitry to re-route energy from overcharged cells to undercharged cells. This is expensive, though, so most BMSs just use resistors to burn off extra charge from overcharged cells.
Not a problem, just expensive. Wires running to each individual would have to be larger than ones used just for sensing or small charge bleeding.

I was considering a design where there was a PCB on every cell with an individual charger, but it's just more cost and parts to break, plus no redundancy (unlike having two big chargers in parallel).
That is a well-known effect that has nothing to do with speech recognition:

Riding a nice bike is an exercise in something that costs $20-$40 always needing fixing every so often. So I do Uber Eats when I ride every so often to offset that. Almost time for new rims though.

this is more or less consistent with everything I've read on the topic, but X can be a surprisingly long distance (billions of km under thrust, or millions of km in "cold running" mode). you would be detectable from pretty much anywhere in the solar system while burning, and still quite a long way away in "stealth mode". even if you had really effective stealth in cold mode, adversaries that observed you while burning could accurately predict your trajectory.

X+1 detection range isn't much of an advantage if X already includes most of the places you can actually be and/or X is already an order of magnitude past effective weapons range.
This is almost assuredly fake news, folks. (Of course this is being downvoted, because why would anyone let the truth get in the way of a good story.)

I am on the same spot, managed to find myself a job in Data Engineering from Software Engineering, but my end goal would be ML and I thought having the master's as a part time study would help getting there.

I am studying on Coursera meanwhile.
Probably just finding another job directly into ML would also work, but I would need to start as a junior and I wouldn't really like that - salary wise.

I think your post is kinda FUD, you can experiment with drugs, dosing, microdosing, assess how you feel about it, and decide if it's working for you. If you're experienced with LSD and know how it affects you then you don't necessarily get paranoia - if anything LSD makes me less paranoid as it gives me a sense of not worrying about the insignificant things (embarrassment, failure, mortality).

Well, I wrote my own theme so I could have a consistent experience between GUI and terminal. It meant customizing my terminal colours so they were non-awful (the minimal 16 are super-garish, I have mine tuned for less harsh contrast but also more colour differentiation considering I'm red/green colourblind).

I then used the same customized terminal colours in my GUI theme.

It works like this:

(if (display-graphic-p)
(setq color-yellow "#f57900"
color-bright-yellow "#fce94f"
color-red "#ff6464"
color-bright-red "#ef2929"
color-bright-green "#73d216"
color-green "#4e9a06"
color-blue "#729fcf"
color-bright-blue "#204a87"
color-white "#babdb6"
color-bright-white "#eeeeec"
color-magenta "#ad7fa8"
color-bright-magenta "#1d324b"
color-black "#1a2022"
color-bright-black "#2e3436"
color-bright-cyan "#555753"
color-cyan "#888a85")
(setq color-black "black"
color-white "white"
color-red "red"
color-green "green"
color-blue "blue"
color-yellow "yellow"
color-cyan "cyan"
color-magenta "magenta"
color-bright-black "brightblack"
color-bright-white "brightwhite"
color-bright-red "brightred"
color-bright-green "brightgreen"
color-bright-blue "brightblue"
color-bright-yellow "brightyellow"
color-bright-cyan "brightcyan"
color-bright-magenta "brightmagenta"))

Then, later on, I use these colours for setting the faces for the cursor, region, keywords, comments, tweaking various different major modes, etc.

With a true-colour capable terminal there's no technical reason to need to take these steps, but this approach works for me in rxvt-unicode and mintty, the two terminals I use on Linux and Windows respectively, and aren't mucked up by any level of tmux or screen nesting.

I have no idea, but I'd call it urban legend rather than implanted memories. Every now and then one used to hear that Procter and Gamble's CEO had gone on X's show and said that Yes, their man-in-the-moon symbol was a sign of Satanism. In the case I remember, the flier picked out a recent episode of well-known show, and someone in the office called the TV station that carried the show. Of course, the show that day was something entirely different.
How much is a normal dose of LSD, for reference?
Yes, usually they use ADCs to read the voltage in between each cell in the series. If individual cells have higher voltage than other cells, a resistor for that cell is switched on to burn off excess charge.

More advanced controllers can use flyback transformers to move charge from one cell to another. This is vastly more expensive than just using a resistor, though, so it's only used in applications where energy conservation is key, like solar projects or where heat is a constraint. The LTC3300 is a good example: https://www.analog.com/en/products/ltc3300-1.html#
You completely make up BS. The whole "death by police hands" is a made up non existing threat to law abiding citizen. And the whole LGBTASDFQWERTY once was about equal rights. Equal rights means you show up at work and do your job or you get fired regardless of you gender and political happenings.
Imagine if the supreme court would be talking about the right to bear arms.
No matter your views on that topic its in no way relevant for showing up at work and do you job. How you handle that in you free time is up to you but at work this would be completely irrelevant even if you work in a gun factory.
>"Emissions-free" is a lie anyway. Tire rubber dust/oil/windshield wiper fluid etc. There is no such thing as an emission-free car.

True, all cars pollute, but EVs pollute their environment less.

>Also gray energy emission (embodied energy) is completely ignore as allays. If we compare average emission per mileage per car over the whole lifetime EVs are just as bad as any other car.

For one, I'm pretty sure that CO2 emissions per lifetime of EV is significantly less than ICE although it is absolutely not zero, that's true.
But point two: Containing emissions from a factory is much simpler than containing emssions from a million cars driving around.

>The only way to change that is if cars stop being parked 99% of their lifetime. Environmentally the worst thing for a car to do is not being in use. It means more cars are build than work is there for them.

True, personal vehicles are rather wasteful but it is definitely worse for the environment to drive an ICE than to not drive it.

>Thats how we actually waste resources and pollute completely unnecessary.

I agree, cars should be taxed a lot at purchase and their usage billed (with road usage taxes for instance).

Ah, that sounds like what I have! Subluxation of the ulnar nerve is what they told me it was - I could feel the nerve popping over my medial epicondyle. We tried steroid shots to reduce inflammation, but it came back after about nine months. It got so bad that I couldn't fully extend my arm or bring it in past ~45 degrees from extended. The inflammation showed up on an MRI. I had surgery to relocate the nerve to the inside of my elbow and have largely recovered from it, though it does flare up every so often.

The scare got me very interested in accessibility and I've looked into using Talon with eye tracking and stenography via Plover to improve my ergonomics, but I've never fully committed to any of them, but I'd love to know what communities exist. A Kinesis Advantage and a vertical mouse seem to keep it at bay on all but the longest of work days.

From a chat-room creation dialog in Element:

That's a great option for backwards compatibility-- in fact I may end up trying it out for a public chat group at some point.

But it's difficult to take seriously an argument that Element cares more about privacy than Signal when they have that option for the user.

You buy a cheap controller (RadioMaster TX16S is the best value for money right now, at $120ish, but you can do quite well with a $30 FlySky), some goggles ($40 for some Eachine EV800D, I forget the exact model number), $150ish for a low-end starting 5" quad, and $30 for a 4S battery.

I might also recommend getting a tiny whoop instead, those are very small drones for inside the house, they are super fun and you can fly them whenever you want, vs having to make a trip to a suitable location.

That should get you started. Nowadays I much prefer acrobatic wings, though, I made a Flitetest Versa from Depron foam for like $30 and it's amazing fun.

I don’t know anyone in England that means million million when they say billion, especially people working in finance or tech. I wonder if there even are any places that still use billion = million million.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billion

> American English adopted the short scale definition from the French.[3] The United Kingdom used the long scale billion until 1974, when the government officially switched to the short scale, but since the 1950s the short scale had already been increasingly used in technical writing and journalism; the long scale definition still enjoys some limited usage in the UK.[4]

CPU code calls in to drivers which talk to the GPU over the PCIe bus. So assembly code that does stuff with the GPU just looks like loading a shared library, passing in some shader code, and then passing in some drawing commands. This project looks like it aims to compile rust to a shader intermediate format so you can use it instead of more common shading languages like GLSL or HLSL. Basically your HLSL/GLSL/(now Rust) code ends up as an intermediate format, which the CPU passes in to a graphics driver before asking that driver to draw things.

iPad 12.9“ 2020 review (A PC user’s perspective)
I think, far from edge cases, there are entire, large fields that would be hampered by these guidelines.

There could be parts of machine learning and the social sciences where these guidelines would work (and maybe others, I have no idea and it feels like the authors don't either). Articles like this need to get a lot more specific about what fields they're talking about. I think the best idea would be to name specific publication venues or funding opportunities that should adopt these standards. It should be that granular.

Otherwise, this is one way that bureaucratic overhead, nonsensical policies, and perverse incentives are created.
Not in this article, but, they are coming up using H.265/HEVC. Not sure about AV1 support yet though. This is becoming an MPEG standard soon so AV1 support should come out soon.
