I guess that makes sense since the Earth’s radius is around 6400km so from 400 to 1400km is really a change from 6800 to 7800km which is proportionally similar to a change from 90 to 110 minutes.

Edit: I just looked up the formula for orbital period and it turns out period is proportional to radius^(3/2) (See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_period)
If you give a bonus for getting done on time/early, construction will finish pretty darn close to the estimates. Construction is underbid at least partly because the incentives are setup for underbidding.

A lot of the rest is Planning fallacy[1], particularly with individual contractors, but larger contracting businesses can absolutely come up with realistic estimates based upon past experience.

> What other intention did they have in pushing up the steps of the capitol and then inside?

They very obviously didn't have a plan and were just seeing how far they could get. You are imputing too much direction and intelligence to these people.

> They were trying to literally subvert the federal government and our collective voting system.

The capitol doesn't work like a round of Capture the Flag in Halo; just standing there for a few minutes doesn't give you political power. Even the protestors were smart enough to comprehend this.
Or maybe its because pork allegedly tastes similar to human and canibalism is taboo (for good reason). Or any other theory that's out there. Hard to say at the remove of thousands of years. Either way, its definitely not something that can be deduced a priori from logic by a lay person.

It’s a strange and peculiar concept to most people. Even if you knew how you might approach removing such a watermark, you wouldn’t know how sophisticated it is, so you wouldn’t be able to know whether you’d succeeded or not. I’d guess most zoom users wouldn’t even know where to start with removing such a watermark.

I personally doubt it’s particularly sophisticated at all. But the fear of getting caught it creates would be enough to deter a significant portion of potential leakers.

Why is any watermarking necessary at all? Because DLP (which includes anti-leaking control) is a huge concern for most businesses, and working from home makes the problem even more serious. Zoom is trying very hard to position themselves in this market (and doing a rather good job of it), so in that context the feature makes perfect sense.
I understand that this is google's library, and they're promoting TensorFlow's usage, and subsequently the usage of TPU's.

But this can just as easily be done in Pytorch right? Yes we can't have GPU's there but having your model train 50% slower (exaggeration) is better than having to spend 150% of the time taken in Pytorch to debug anything in TensorFlow.

I may be beating a dead horse here, but why doesn't google just accept that TensorFlow needs to be redesigned for more ease of use?

Can anyone point out the benefits of TensorFlow over Pytorch (besides TPU's) ? It's been a few years since I've used TF and I may have missed something.
A big chunk of that $20B is on high cost ads to the general public, which doesn’t occur in many other parts of the world. It’s a backwards system when a patient is told to ask their doctor for a prescription to a medication by the company that manufactures said medication.

Well, it's a truism that mostly-stable systems have at least locally corrective responses to perturbations. Back in High School, I was a bit mystified as to why Le Chatelier's principle should be so nearly universally applicable, until I realized that the sample set is extremely biased... if a chemical system isn't even metastable, it doesn't get much broad attention. Stable or metastable chemical systems must have locally stabilizing responses to change. Even for things like combustion reactions, we mostly study stable flames, except for niche studies.

I realized there's a generalization of Le Chatelier's principle that's almost a truism for any system that exhibits something approaching short-term stability or short-term bounded oscillation.

If some brain state weren't locally corrective, then it would be a transient brain state, and excluded from the most intuitive notion of normal brain behavior. So, we'd expect that for normal brain behaviors, we'd see corrective responses to change.
I agree with the sentiment that this thing was blown out of proportion. I watched the videos and the police could easily stop them by using deadly force. They decided not to and the protestors took advantage of it. There was only one woman who got shot from my understanding. I think the police should get a lot of credit here. That's the police we want to see - officers who use common sense and don't apply deadly force unless someone is in serious danger (I didn't see the xx ç video of the shooting yet). Unfortunately a lot of people including many celbreties decided to ignore that and instead focus on white privilege and if those were black people the result was different. Some people don't want peace, just wars.

With that being said, you cannot take it lightly. The FBI should take it very seriously. We all remember Timothy Mcveigh. I really hope the next few weeks will pass quietly.
You have a source on this? I’m much more inclined to think it’s just religions imposing order on people as a litmus test for conformity and followership. Mormons have the Word of Wisdom, Islam has haram and halal, Catholics have Lent, Good Friday, Ash Wednesday, etc... They don’t seem to follow any prescriptive health benefit. It’s restriction for the sake of conformity.
How is this computed? It looks cool, but it's difficult to use as a book discovery tool unless you know more about why it considers one book related to another.
Well the first order of business in protecting democracy is to crush the terrorists head on. Doesn’t really matter what their back story is. You must confront the terrorist first, and win. You’re not going to win the long game by losing the short one.
Which is why the concept of 20% time is important. It means that 1 day a week your manager can't tell you what to do, so you can work on whatever you think is most important. You could use that time to work on what your manager wants, and most do, but if you have things that you feel are more important you just go and do them.
I’m not sure where all this hate on parler is coming from.

While Twitter allowed the trending of #AssassinateTrump and #killtrump plus all the violence and destruction orchestrated on Twitter during the BLM protests on hundreds of small businesses in America where far more damage and fatalities occurred then the capital riots and big tech especially Apple, Amazon and Facebook were quite about.

This is a collaboration against conservatives and the greatest form of censorship America has ever experienced.

I have heavy boozers on both sides of my bloodline, never expected it would hit me because I was so aware of it, but at some point in my early 30s I realized I was always the one dragging friends to bars, and of course despite a self-imposed rule of no hard booze at home, that only justified continuous drinking of wine and beer.

I definitely wouldn't have considered myself an alcoholic, but it had become a significant enough part of my routine that I had increasing difficulty being honest to others about when/how often I'd been drinking.

The thing that ultimately snapped me out of it was learning of the association with cancer. I'd still love a drink, much like I'd absolutely murder a cigarette, but in both cases, neither could approach my lips without the word "CANCER" being explicit in mind. Not sure how that happened. Luck? Definitely not complaining, in any case it works.
That quote's perspective now seems to me to be correct and fundamental to our industry, but it was basically ignored during my degree and I'd say it's still very much under-appreciated in software engineering.
If you treat Leviticus as guidelines when stuck in a primitive area, it makes a bit more sense. One of the old (1890ish) US Army survival manuals is basically Leviticus rewritten in modern terms. Technology and modern health and cleanliness standards pretty much make that section ignorable.
That seems circular to me. Surely most people follow the laws that seem reasonable to them. If everyone agreed on what was reasonable behaviour, we wouldn't need laws.
> If Democrats held power for a couple of decades, the country would be unrecognizable. Take, for example, the issue of religion. Americans are the most religious developed country by far—comparable to Iran. This drives Democrats crazy, and through the period during which they controlled the Supreme Court based on FDR’s appointments, they turned America into one of the most secular countries in the world in terms of the law. European countries far less religious than the US have far more public accommodation for things like religious instruction in schools. Imagine going into Poland or Hungary and declaring that Christianity has to be removed from schools, like in France. It doesn’t matter what you think of these policies. What do you think the societal reaction would be to that?

This isn't factual. Italy for example is more religious than the US. Germany, France and the UK are comparable to the US (each have ~25-28% nonreligious, compared to 25% in the US). Poland, to use your example, is 85% Christian and 8% nonreligious. Hungary is 20% nonreligious, and close to 75% Christian (60% Catholic).

The comparatively religious countries are approximately as secular. The US isn't unique here.

Also, it's worth noting that the constitutions of Poland and Hungary establish national religions. The Polish constitution specifically protects religious education in public schools, and the Hungarian constitution defines life to begin at conception.

The US on the other hand doesn't have that. The establishment clause doesn't have those carve outs. And as to your claim that the FDR court made the US particularly secular, I don't see that. Public funding for religious education had already been well established to be unconstitutional (with the majority of states having banned it explicitly in the 1800s). It's difficult to tell how common religious education in the style of McCollum was during the early 20th century, but I can't find anything to suggest that it was the norm in public schools.

> If Democrats held power for a couple of decades, the country would be unrecognizable.

You haven't described what, in particular, Democrats would do. What anti-religion policy do you suggest democrats would do if they held power for several decades (and, presuming that democrats were able to hold power for several decades, would this be any different than other similarly secular nations?)

The best example I can think of requires conflating Abortion policy as anti-religion policy, which it isn't, in the same way that legalizing gay marriage isn't anti-religious.

You can take additional measures, but you can never be sure that you've avoided all forms of watermarking. As an extreme example, suppose a company distributed 4 versions of a document to employees, each printed in red, blue, green, or black ink (a variant of steganography). Even though you've taken a crap photo, you still have the color in evidence, and they know which subset of the employee pool the leak came from.

Any number of techniques like this could be used, such that you can't be sure the "watermark" is gone without making the document functionally useless - especially if you don't know what the watermark is. e.g. maybe you take a black and white photo of the document above, but they also changed some of the wording on the page in each version.

+1 to my sibling comment's point about how each digital device you use to cover your trail will do its best to leave a new trail.
So are Facebook and Twitter direct foreign interference in the democratic process of every country other than the US?

Mostly utility stuff around the house. At one point, a custom chicken coop. My use case is unlike commercial/industrial. It serves as an 'infinite jig', a work bench and a platform for experimenting. I can see driving it with Klipper. Mach3/gcode is like batch mainframe work. Klipper/Python could make for a much more interactive experience. eg. vision for work piece alignment and then be able to say "give me a 1/2" dado down the back with system 32 shelf pins.
Nope. Shut down every other website and blame the government, on the other hand...
> so I think it's fair to point out that this is not in fact a new problem, and that private companies probably aren't going to solve it.

The new problem is is not the successful spread of lies, but the frequent successful spread of lies at massive scale that fall apart at the slightest inspection. Basically: bonkers conspiracy theories becoming mainstream consensus in large segments of the population.
I'll take this opportunity to shill my little tool I wrote for this purpose https://github.com/wyager/metastrip

It removes metadata (in the dumbest way possible - convert to raster and back) and also inserts random noise to defeat straightforward stego.
Lol, OK. I'm not worried about "wasted" time or "unproductive" time. I am sensitive to "young kids are hungry because dinner is an hour later than expected," or "we've got plans to visit grandparents and don't want to be out too late because they have school in the morning." Trying to pretend that there is never any time pressure in life is a bit naive, I think.
Basically everybody knows that murder is wrong but some people still do it.
It could be encoded as metadata, stereo phase differences, or low level "noise" in the audible band. You have to cover all possible bases to be sure.
Protecting Your React Routes
This is an interesting take that I'd like to dig into a little more... Do you mind expanding on if there are any known ways to achieve this?
I tend to disagree with the author there. Microstepping isn't "bad". The biggest issue with hobbyist setups is that they have problems with the higher step frequencies required. If you have a good controller and driver you should probably go for higher micro stepping resolution. It will give you smoother motion (less vibrations/unintended frequencies) and better positional accuracy.

Anyways, for your use case it sounds like that isn't relevant. What positional accuracy do you need? What screws are you planning to use? Start there. Most likely a full or half step setup is more than enough for your purposes and just make sure you set the motion parameters right... The cheapest solution for X/Y positioning is going to be something like fixed voltage (just using some transistors to switch the stepper motor phases) and stepping via software at slow speeds.

What's your budget? What's your more precise requirements? (working area, accuracy, speed etc.?) What can you build yourself vs. buy? Depending on what you need and what you're comfortable building it's either a trip to your local hardware store or just buy a cheap off-the-shelf 3-axis CNC kit.
More like the little guy that gets the heck fined out of them by some agency. Happens a bit too often, and you are guilty until proven innocent.
I'm possibly misunderstanding you, but you seem to be implying there would be no negotiation in the system I described. I never said that. You as a patient would in fact be much more empowered to negotiate with those who provide you services, since you would actually know the actual costs available in the market.

However, if your point is that the current system would also be improved by the tiny change of allowing medicare to negotiate prices without any of my other ideal changes, then yes I agree that would be a change for the better.
I thought I could do that (in France) because I'm living on the cheap. But I guess you somehow needsf to pay the social security to get the benefits. I don't know how to do that when not having a salary (the social security "premium" is hidden and deferred salary) or are not searching for a job, or a kid/retirie. Otherwise it would mean being a freeloader.
1. 99.9% of posts about #KillTrump are from conservatives complaining about the keyword. And even back when it was trending at no point was there a specific threat. Whereas Trump and Guiliani were in DC, in front of the Capitol building and directly inciting the attendees. That's the difference.

2. Plenty of conservatives right now on Twitter, Facebook etc. In fact most of them became well-known through those services. Just those who have continued to incite people have been banned (after having been warned on multiple ocassions).
There are some stupid laws on the books, but you have picked awful examples. Only one of those laws is something a non-specialist would ever encounter, and that one is common sense.

Backtesting a regular single symbol model on CPU is often not cheap, especially at higher frequencies. Now multiply that by 50 correlated instruments, each having say, 1500-3000 strikes+sides+expiries in their respective option markets, and the value of GPU offload should become obvious. Backtesting dispersion trades on the S&P 500 using just 5 strikes per underlying, or any other scenario where the evolution of the volatility surface is important would already potentially involve >25,000 individual option markets

All professionals backtest, often numerous times per day
...you tried. And you meant well. It's more then I can say for some of the people in my life.

For what it is worth, you were approaching me as if I were a problem to be solved, and it's a fine approach. But what often ends up happening is that it's incredibly easy to see only the suicide, and then forget that there's person there. Or that there's a single fell swoop that will set someone on back on the path. Sometimes it's like that but it's really hard to tell, even in person when you can read their face and body language, hear the tone in their voice. Never mind trying to piece it together from a block of text.

If you ever run into someone like me again in your life, maybe... speak a little less. And listen a little more. Don't ask yourself what you can do to fix it. Maybe instead, try asking them why. Or what is they want. Maybe they can answer, maybe they won't because they don't know or don't want to know. Maybe their problems are imagined, maybe not. Maybe the the reasons makes sense to you, maybe it won't. But I'd be willing to bet, to the person that's in the middle of it, that it's all as real as you are to yourself. And until you acknowledge that, you're going to have a bully of a time trying to connect with them.

Can't promise it will make it ever go better or that it's good advice; it's just my own thoughts on the matter.

......... and if it means anything; What this is has been central for my whole life; always there in a quiet moment. In every single night in bed before I fall asleep in bed, and there again first thing when I wake up. And always there in each quiet moment I have truly to myself. Some doctors tried prescribing different doses of anti depressants but they did little, and I knew better then to tell them what I was really thinking. Gave up after a while and ultimately it was just something I just accepted as just who I am. And for almost 10 years it was fine, it was there and then grew quiet as I got into whatever disaster or deadline that was next looming.

I honestly expected no difference between 200 to 240 hours a month focused and 160 but it seems I was wrong... and I don't know why. Or what might have changed. I'm not even sure if that was the key point. Even before the hours change there were moments in the last year where I stared over the edge of a stairwell or car park or looked into the path of an oncoming train and seriously contemplated jumping for a good 30 minutes. And honestly until now I had forgotten those moments had occurred...

You couldn't have possibly known any of that. I suspect you might've changed your approach if you did. But it took a week of you persisting, and me being slightly drunk tonight to admit this much. So don't apologize. As far as I can see, there's nothing for you to be sorry here for.
