There is one big change that happened recently that could explain this as well. I never posted my PHP jobs on indeed. We always used glassdoor and LinkedIn. Now that indeed has purchased glassdoor and all of those job postings automatically go to indeed that could explain a huge rise in jobs there when in actuality there was always this many jobs.

> Even if Connery did publicly retract or apologise, for example, how many people would try to seek that out if all they saw was the original video in isolation? Once a criminal, always a criminal?

See: Dan Harmon's apology which so easily disproves this :) In the case of Connery, it would have been easy for him to push his PR people to publicly denounce the video, do a few interviews, and donate some token sum of a couple of thousand to the relevant charities. I remember (But unfortunately can't cite) some other people who have then gone on to be advocates for these causes as a form of penance. As a celebrity, pretty much anything like this is newsworthy, if not, he doesn't have good PR people and should fire them and hire new ones, because they aren't effective enough for his purposes :P

> Or can we imagine that people may change even without making a public song and dance about it?

I mean, he stated it publicly in the first place, so obviously he thought at the time that that public statement on that was worth his salt. Assuming he had reformed and then gone on to improve his perspectives, it seems unlikely that from then on he would be unaware of the harm that that video, still in perpetuity, could cause and want to undo that to some extent.

Reforming isn't possible on a personal level, because we (and I'm sorry for this so heavily memed statement) live in a community. On a fundamental level our public statements take on a life of their own, and because we made them, we should have responsibility for them. From then on, that statement can do untold harm or benefit. Such is the way of living in a community, where your actions will affect other people. Part of reforming yourself is attempting to undo the damage that you have caused in the past. And so part of that reformation would inherently have to be, retracting or attempting to undo the damage caused by those public statements.

A different way to put this would be: Is it possible to reform yourself and not try to undo the damage of your past actions in some way? Are you truly reformed if you wave your hand and do not take responsibility for them?
This feels like those little robots from Big Hero 6 made real. I love it.
This is the reason Rich Rebuilds stopped rebuilding Teslas. It is as if you don't own the car.
Per the figures, it looks like 16 hours had the largest effect, even larger than 24 hour fasts. But this is mouse data and should all be taken with a huge grain of salt.
Are the false positives IID, or are they correlated to each other in the same individual, i.e. a false positive will likely test false positive again, a true negative will likely never test false positive? This is the kind of critically important stuff in stochastic processing theory that medical-field statistics never seem to care to report on.

If it is the former (IID), and let's say P_D = 1.0, P_FA = 0.2, it is an extremely easy problem to solve: Just have each student take 3 tests each day, which will reduce the overall P_FA from 0.2 to 0.008. Or 4 tests for 0.0016.

If it is the latter, you will only lose 6 students for the whole week; you'll have 24 students left on Friday, not 10.
> this is obviously nothing more than (very) advanced lane assistance

Is that really obvious? It looks like the system is aware of much more than just lanes. A lane assist system doesn't stop for red lights or stop signs, or make left turns into a side road after waiting for oncoming traffic to clear.
"SPA apps written in PHP"

huh? that sounds like a contradiction in terms.
Some of the KN95s have been found to be counterfeit. Some of the ones we tested were no better than a cloth mask. When buying KN95s, please check that they've been validated by the CDC's list.

If it's legitimate KN95, it probably protects at least as good as a medical mask but probably not as good as a N95. This is because KN95s are not designed to form a complete seal so many folks will have some leakage around the edges. This is the reason that you see many systems 3d printing molded frames to improve the KN95 fit and decrease leakage.
Would you only be astonished if they directly hold it, or also if it's via a fund or three?

A bit unrelated, but made me remember this study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2995774/

The effects of fasting on the human body are... fastinating! (Sorry!)
The fact that bitcoins can be transferred is the only reason they have value at all. You have to be able to exchange them for something else or they're worthless.

The question then is whether 7 tx/sec really is sufficient to support broad global adoption, even if it's just for savings. Dollars and physical gold have no such limits. Other blockchains are vastly expanding scalability, as well as eliminating the energy usage.

Another issue is whether Bitcoin can maintain its monetary policy for the long term. Here's a paper from Princeton saying that if miner rewards are dominated by transaction fees rather than block rewards, the chain destabilizes, suffering frequent long rollbacks.

https://www.cs.princeton.edu/~arvindn/publications/mining_CC...

If they're right, some future generation of bitcoiners will have to choose between keeping the issuance schedule, and having a blockchain that functions reliably. There's no way for us to know which they will pick.

Personally, I think the right choice is a functioning chain. That last percent or two of inflation isn't a problem for maintaining value, because economies grow at the same rate. So does the supply of gold in the economy.
People voting me down probably didn’t get my point. If a tool is inefficient people won’t use it. A way to detect COVID that would produce many false positive would mine the spread of its use. Also, if the demographic sample is not done properly in theory you could risk having people underrepresented getting the wrong end of the stick. Imagine what this would mean in countries like USA!
All deep learning implementations to date fail on the last 2% of real world cases. Why would deep learning be the solution for its own shortcomings?
High Ticket Sales Secret
The more automated cars become, the more drivers will start to trust them and pay less attention - especially when it’s advertised as full self driving.

Prime example would be the Uber test driver who felt she could trust the car enough to watch a TV show on her phone, when she was supposed to be supervising it.

Plus our attention naturally just starts to wander when the talk at hand is not that engaging.
Several of the methods used for finding exoplanets are biased so that they're more likely to find exoplanets that are both really big (Jupiter-size or bigger) and really close to their star (much closer than Earth)

As methods of detecting exoplanets get better, I think they're starting to find more systems with multiple planets so the average is probably more than 1

> The Kryoflux company claims ownership of all images created with Kryoflux hardware.

From the links provided, the issue is regarding documentation of the image “flux” file format and the availability of software tools to manipulate the images. Jason Scott probably doesn’t want to use a proprietary format for archival of disk images, and that’s fine. For someone to say that Kyroflux is claiming ownership of images created by its customers, however, is just misleading.
No I'm not rewriting history, but you are rewriting reality by citing anecdotal exceptions. Don't get me wrong the rotherham scandal is horrible, it does not change the fact that it's an exception. Take for example the Met, the investigation into institutional racism has just reopened because of the many reports.
Any mention of JJ Thomson always brings to mind this profound and fascinating quote:

“If you pay a man a salary for doing research, he and you will want to have something to point to at the end of the year to show that the money has not been wasted. In promising work of the highest class, however, results do not come in this regular fashion, in fact years may pass without any tangible result being obtained, and the position of the paid worker would be very embarrassing and he would naturally take to work on a lower, or at any rate a different plane where he could be sure of getting year by year tangible results which would justify his salary. The position is this: You want one kind of research, but, if you pay a man to do it, it will drive him to research of a different kind. The only thing to do is to pay him for doing something else and give him enough leisure to do research for the love of it."

Those terms you use, "damage" and "inferior", are of course, subjective, relative, and circumstantial, rather than absolute.

When I used to drink a lot of beer, I might have agreed with their sentiment, since I would mostly be drinking because I wanted the effect of the alcohol.

But since I stopped drinking alcohol, after several months I found, to my surprise, that a zero alcohol beer can be quite a pleasant experience. The taste reminded me of what I used to like about drinking beer with friends, whilst the differences helped me to stay connected to my new found appreciation of clarity.
You can have a PHP server rendered page that can hold multiple SPAs written in React, imagine a portal like Liferay where each portlet is its own React app. Or imagine Steam shop that is using React for some of its components, like its new chat system which is a SPA integrated into Steam network.

* Yes, I should have said "integrated" in PHP instead of "written".
I feel like the term intermittent fasting is used by many folks to mean different things. It would be nice if there were more precise terminology here so we could communicate more clearly.
I'm not sure which ones are available in the USA but I've used a few different "New Banks" here in Europe and have had fantastic text-only conversations with banking staff.

Monzo in the UK, and N26 elsewhere. (Looks like N26 is available in the US now too).
Nah. Airing of grievances is a perfectly legitimate form of grief. When my (very popular, publicly beloved, but privately abusive) dad died, I didn't speak my mind at his funeral because of attitudes like yours. People with an incomplete understanding of his person wanted to censor my experiences in order to relish in the good times. My grief process would require several years of counseling. They were there for a party, and most of them experienced a day or less of grief. The truth is complex. The weirdest reaction to "cancel culture" is people who would censor the truth in favor of fantasy, but complain that their fave artist is the one being censored.
Cool idea but also comes across as an ultra French idea. French court ruling a as far as I understand are very technocratic. You just must paragraphs applied to reach verdict.

At least here in Norway there tends to be a strong emphasis on laws being readable by the common people so regular people better know their rights.

E.g. we read consumer laws in high school and that was easy. Older laws are written in a very lawyer like Danish form. But there is continuous effort to simplify law texts.

While I do have an affinity for rigorous definitions I think this could make the law text less accessible to common people.

Also based upon what I know of the US system, it would not work as t he Us system is strongly based on past rulings rather than paragraphs. That makes a formalized approach much harder.
Thanks, let me know how it goes!
> This is such a nothing statement

Nope

> How is that different from setting a price list on their website? They hope people will pay them doesn't mean they will

Agree; I would make the same comment if someone claimed a price list meant a business was stable and worth relying on.
That's what I was thinking but on the other hand you have the clean design of SpaceX Dragon interior.
If the resource is shared and being accessed from many threads and is both written to and read from then it is the correct behavior to to lock it with the proper type of lock at access time. Depending on resource it might be possible to split it into few with more granular access.

As for novices: they are called that for reason and supposed to be under supervision rather than allowed running wild.
Yes, but 2012 is 8 years in the past. Do you know what else is 8 years in the past? Well, not Reacts first release because that happened only in 2013. That's how long 8 years are in web terms.

At some point — and boy, are we long past that point — it feels old when gramps goes off about the woes of PHP4 because, oh, it feels like it's just been yesterday.
That's perfect example of lazy thinking. They would see you catching sleep, but would never see you work and in their brain this would form as "he is lazy". The information that you work night shifts would get registered, but they would have to be informed with the same frequency as they see you sleep that you worked a night shift, otherwise after a day or two they would revert to thinking you are lazy. It is quite fascinating. I had the same problem with my partner - that is she would work night shifts and she wouldn't see me doing anything around the house, but I would do all the chores all the time. So if she came home in the evening and saw a little bit of rubbish that accumulated since the morning she would start making argument that I don't clean the house, but in the morning I did clean it. It helped when I started making a log on a sheet fixed to the fridge. I would always show her the log when she would come home. At the same time I had a feeling that she is not doing much and that I am doing all the chores. I wouldn't acknowledge that over the weekend she would do general cleaning as well that would take her almost as much time as myself doing chores over the week.

There's a lot cool about threads, and you can learn to implement them well.

Threads handled well do not need to have race conditions, and race conditions/deadlocks are also very possible in distributed, message-passing systems.

No, all democratic governments receive foreign propaganda from other governments, regardless of the others being democratic or not.
Its a shame that people insist on dragging their prejudices halfway across the world instead of leaving them behind - just human nature I guess. Im glad there's litigation happening now. Drag it to the surface and expose it so we can kill it. Prejudice is bad for society and bad for business. It is making decisions based on inaccurate assumptions, and its failing to value talent appropriately. It's sacrificing competitiveness by allowing for bad decision making. Its also morally wrong, but I think the competitiveness argument is gonna be the more convincing one. Let's leave caste in the last century where it belongs.
I find the underlying question of this issue fascinating and challenging. Where is the right place to draw the line between your state's civic values, and respect for traditions that are not strictly yours? Are you bound to honor cultural traditions that are outside your laws and norms for civic rights and presence?

On the one hand, the caste system is one of those things that many non-Indian people seem to be willing to come out and condemn. Frankly, it seems awful to me, and fundamentally at odds with a lot of human and civic rights norms in America.

At the same time, however, it's a tradition from a society that is very different from the one in which I was raised. I don't feel like I'm educated enough to judge it thoroughly. See also: France, and the ongoing Dialogue with Muslim communities regarding headscarves.
The line selection for turns seems to be quite poor still.
It is interesting that you benefit so much from Cabergoline. Are your problems also related to elevated Prolactin levels, Hyperprolactinemia?
Bromocriptine would be cheaper than Dostinex/Cabergoline.

I do not recommend anything in this comment.
If you benefit from a fight-or-flight state, the extra focus and pain filtering, then Atomoxetine/Strattera or Vyvanse/Amphetamine could be worth it for the extra Norepinephrine (and Dopamine).

Emsam (Irreversible MAOI, transdermal administration) and Moclobemide (Reversible MAOI) are also interesting in general.
DO NOT combine these MAOIs with Cabergoline or the other drugs mentioned above. You could die from the drug interaction!
Besides that, the benefit and side effect profiles are excellent.
The dietary restrictions are not as severe as with the classic MAOIs.
I do not recommend anything in this comment.
Your explanation doesn't make it clearer to me. It looks like you're missing a step between no basis in value and being a terrible savings vehicle. As a saver, I don't care about the basis, I care that the money doesn't get too discounted with time, and I care about the risk.

What am I missing?

Thanks for the clarification, they’re on individual plans outside of CA, so probably not an apples to apples comparison.
I think it's still impressive. In 1917, Russia was one of the most backwards countries in Europe, practically a feudal agrarian society. The USA was already a fairly advanced industrial economy.

In 1957, only forty years later, and after suffering the revolution, the First and Second World War, Russia won an important steep in the space race.

Granted, those were very hard times for the Russian people, but, still, credit where it's due.
>My flawed argument was based on India and China sharing a land border and that shared genetic markers are found on both sides of it.

This is not flawed reasoning. Despite Indians and Chinese people possessing unique genetic markers, people in India and China do still share genetic markers from earlier haplogroups. If you go far enough back into human ancestry we can find a markers arising out of Africa that all humans in Asia and Europe share.

>I’m not sure there’s any need to cheapen your point by making personal attacks.

It's not a personal attack. I assume your conclusions are irrationally influenced by the current "woke" trend that's taking over America today. I say this because my conclusion can be arrived at trivially with zero technical jargon.

The same conclusion can be derived from just looking at people. The similarity in facial features between Indians and Europeans and the marked contrast between Chinese and Indians makes my expose into the genetics quite unnecessarily pedantic. It hinders conversation by forcing me to go into details in order to state the obvious.

Correct conclusions can be arrived at in significantly less time if people utilized a combination of common sense and scientific evidence where it is deemed necessary. If I didn't choose to troll this thread with a mile long document of terminal evidence then very likely this conversation would have ended without a real conclusion despite the obvious fact that Indians and Chinese look different enough to be classified as following different branches in the ancestral tree.
In that case a computer isn't nearly killing someone. Very obviously not a fair comparison.
This is to be expected. People will bring over their culture to wherever they move.

The only counter to this is cultural integration; however, some people will see that as cultural imperialism, or whatever other name is current.

The same issue is seen in Africa when new populations move into non traditional areas and bring their customs. If they are dispersed and don’t clump ala enclaves, they adopt local culture, but if they form enclaves and only hang out with others from their origin they just continue what they knew.

In the US so long as immigration was “stretched out” it allowed for slow integration. The speed of growth though allows for the culture migrate along with the population. That’s just how it works. An additional “phenomenon” is usually the transplanted population changes more slowly than the home population.

What is striking to me is the enormous waste of resources and engineering talent that went in to destructive monstrosities on all sides. I remember having the same reaction visiting a UK air museum seeing the Vulcan up-close for the first time.

Entire generations of the best an brightest roped in to build political brinkmanship tools, never to be used that are now rusting away.

Meanwhile, Japan and Germany, the loosers of WW2 that was meant to be kept down, by not allowing them to participate in the arms race built up formidable industrial capacity, that came to dominate many sectors by the end of the cold war.

Every nation has an economic engine. If there is no refueling schedule, then the engine will cease to function.

There is no real contradiction. It’s rather simple..I don’t think an economic engine should operate to take care of mental health of its employees. It should function to keep the economy of a country going. That’s it’s prime directive.

Meanwhile: how do you think women for millennia have managed not to be employed and find meaning in life. No one owes anyone a job. Being called to employment from age 25-50 is a duty to an economy that has 1. Supported you till age 25. 2. Will support you after age 50.

The rest is just numbers. Social and corporate accounting. It’s not rocket science.
I would rate Zardoz to be the best movie that Connery was in.

It's widely panned as schlocky B-grade scifi, but it's actually pretty interesting and more profound than most A-grade films that garner much higher critical acclaim.

Sure, there's plenty of cheese in that film, but it doesn't make it any less great... more great, in my view.
