Anxiety is complicated. For example, having airline crew on Ebola-grade hazmat suits emblazoned with biohazard logos would probably reduce COVID transmission by some fraction of a percent, but it would also increase anxiety for most of us. If you take the LA Blue Line (which goes through some of the worst neighborhoods in the city), the constant announcements about your safety being important and occasional patrols by jackbooted commandos are the opposite of reassuring.

Basically, it's difficult to show you care about a problem without making the problem appear worse.

Ctrl+F on the words stem, math, science, engineering, major, humanities gives no results or clue about the type of major people are choosing. Considering that it refers to the gender differences when it comes to seeing the value in it (and even including race), Why did they not include the type of major people go to college for? Maybe since I'm not american it would be more natural for me to include that, but if someone puts that much emphasis on the 'input' (gender, race) why not consider the 'output' (stem, humanities)?
You can look up origin of DNA there is a ton of good resource, but one of the main reason is that we know all life on earth does not use the same DNA, some domain uses DNA based on a certain set of protein while some other domain uses DNA based on another set, which is very strong evidence that DNA was 'invented' multiple times.

So if the building blocks of life arrived from somewhere else, it was at best RNA not DNA.

But must of all I find your reasoning puzzling, you find DNA marvelous (which it is) and thus assumes it must have come from somewhere else. What does this 'somewhere else' has that we don't have here? The Universe is relatively homogeneous.

Our cats are definitely more into valerian than catnip, they dive face first into the stuff, eat it, roll around in it, etc. With catnip, no reaction.
I think it is most of the genus, I've seen cats eat the shoots on Actinidia plants (Arugata).

I know silvervine is in a lot of catnip mixed, I think not all cats react to whatever pheromone is in catnip so a lot of mixes have several different euphoria in them to try to increase efficacy.

> the vast majority of manipulating the armrests (that 2 or 3 seconds he refers to) happens in parallel

Maybe, but holding up the queue at the wrong time (e.g. in the early stages of boarding) can have an outsized impact on the overall result.

Keeping armrests up is one of those things I always wanted from an airline. I thought there might have been some reason why they effectively inconvenienced everyone as standard, but apparently not. I wonder if bringing them down is a leftover from the times armrests included an heavily-used ashtray.

Can't you present it as a risk / benefit analysis? Basically at the beginning of the quarter the open / larger risks were XYZ and now those risks have been mitigated or reduced.
I believe some cats dont react to it based on genetics, there are other things you can try! Maybe silvervine or valerian?

>> I needed to figure out the real reasons why repeat passenger levels had dropped and why the airline ranked #18 for on-time arrivals.

WTF? They gloss strait over those two facts as if they are not related. Covid anxiety? Armrests? You know what makes me anxious? Missing my connection because the airline is late AGAIN! I'll suffer through any number of in-cabin discomforts. I'll get out and pull the aircraft back from the gate with a rope. I'll climb in and out via ladders. I'll shovel snow off the runway by hand. I'd even pay a premium on if doing so meant the flight arrives at the time indicated on the ticket.

Want to know what really makes passengers anxious when flying? It isn't the flight. Few really care about the actual flying part of the journey. It is that in-seat time before and after the flight. It is rolling the dice to see if your plane will be allowed to take off without mechanical issue or delays due to baggage problems. It is not knowing whether there will be a gate available for your aircraft once you land. It is knowing that you will often spend more time in the plane on the ground than actually flying. Fix that before talking to me about my armrest preferences.
Hmmm my conclusion was drawn from the following languages having their main compiler written in that language: Haskell, Java, Scala, OCaml, Kotlin, C++, C#, F#, Rust, Go, Nim, Zig...

Not criticising any of these choices, but one has to wonder why. Most of these compilers were rewrites after a bootstrap implementation was created in an existing language.

You make a fair distinction in regards to general input-based value and labor based value.

Are there any books that use different fonts or font sizes to convey for example feelings of a character? Large bold font when they feel strong; tiny, scribbled text when they feel frightened, and so on?

There might be a few things that could be explored here, turning a book from a simple way to present text into an indispensable part of the piece it contains.

> Criticizing Bitcoin investment for speculation rings hollow when the majority of equity investment is speculation. Very few people invest with the intention of never selling.

That's true. But there are plenty of investors who are conscious about what the investments are used for AS WELL. I mainly buy stocks in renewables and technology. A big part of that is that I feel like I know enough there to make informed investments that'll generate some return. But it's also because I want companies making renewable energy solutions to have access to capital, because I believe that what they're doing is good for the world. As long as my returns are equal or better than interest in my savings account, I'm happy.

There's a lot of people only focusing on pure speculation too. They serve a purpose in making stocks more liquid. But that alone is not the point of the stock market. If it was it'd be banned by now.

This is the main reason why I'm not buying BitCoin. I don't see what good the money I'm putting in will do in the economy.

Worse: When the announcement happens the movie stops and the unchangeable volume of the announcement is ~100x louder than what you were watching. Then if you're on a cheap flight, you get another announcement about last chance to buy something from in-flight duty-free. Some Airlines don't care about satisfaction, just maximising profit where you have no other options.

The most annoying things are often those that have been explicitly added by the airlines.

Added: My hack for the volume issue - take your own short audio cable with inline volume control. Set the system playback to max volume and turn down your own analog dial.
A timely article. I just put some silvervine powder in a paper bag and watched our kitties go mental, sticking their heads in, rolling around. Great fun.

Murder in Seattle is up 74.1% in 2020 because of the riots.

Seattle's east precinct was abandoned. The police couldn't hold it: https://www.capitolhillseattle.com/2020/11/who-ordered-the-a...

The rioters are throwing explosives and other weapons at police injuring many police officers.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8566755/Seattle-pol...

The important thing here isn't that the author is calling trump people 'not nice' or 'not kind by nature' but rather he's blind to the fact that seattle has been a very violent riot. The real story though is the echo chambers.

This trump riot thing was very odd to see. For all of 2020 you could see extreme violence from left-wing riots and left-wing news sources like msnbc did not cover this at all. You CANNOT find anything about injured police or explosives in seattle on msnbc.

When trump rioters took control of capitol hill. MSNBC had more articles in a week about the evil MAGA riot and how Trump incited a riot than they covered about violent riots in seattle all year.

In our project, we have a lot of Raspis and configure them all with Ansible. From time to time we are adding new features and fixing bugs in our Ansible scripts and that makes them more complex. We are using GitLab to review our code, but what is missing is a validation of the syntax and that the code will actually work on production’s hardware.

Our Pis are an integral part of our customers. And that’s not the definition for CD(for me :)). Our pis are not easily accessible in a matter of minutes and are distributed across several hundreds of kilometers.

How were they able to patent this? I've known for 20 years that catnip works as a mosquito repellent; there was a 2001 paper that showed that its essential oil, nepetalactone, was 10 times more effective than DEET[1]. Soon after this a variety of "natural mosquito repellent" products based on catnip appeared on the market. I've made homemade repellent myself by soaking catnip in alcohol and it works great, although it wears off faster than commercial DEET-based repellent; have to keep reapplying.

Anyway, another patent that shouldn't have been issued.

Sometimes I wonder how good Michael Phelps would be without the swimming program and the mentors he had along the way. I think there is alot of refinement that comes from difficult programs built by top educators/researchers in afield over a ling time. Now, the gap between a University of Michigan and Carnegie Mellon may not be massive, but completing either of these long 4 year marathons for a B.S. will refine you in a way that for the vast majority of people, self study will not Even then, those who can self study right out of high school, who are these people? How do they have the discipline, the study skills, the vision to complete that gauntlet alone, at 18, without a group of peers and people to learn from. These individuals likely had a great home and k-12 education. Its a monumental task even for the most brilliant of us. Those who could do it, already have incredible discipline, drive, intelligence and clarity for their age and probably should be getting a scholarship somewhere (if not for personality and learning disabilities that make conventionally structured schooling difficult for them.

Then again, as someone who went through a B.S. in engineering, self taught themselves (after reaching out for mentorship of course) my next degree will focus on getting into an in person masters where creating deep networking connections with my cohort is the goal equal to the degree itself. I will say that I am struggling on when and where and how much should I be prepared to spend.

Its expensive, but most of the invaluable things in life are. And its very easy to ignore the large benefits of the connections and certifications if you arent part of the communities that are leveraging those assets to great advantages for themselves and their family.

Education, discipline and connections are the most valuable and risk resistant assets in life.

> Those who can take care of the money can also figure out how to get more and just need the government out of the way. (this is the conservative lower taxes point)

Yes, and it's evidence-free nonsense, because many of those people are either not earning at all, often for very good reasons, or earning below the lower tax threshold. You might be able to make a case for abolishing sales tax/VAT, but at least in the UK food is already exempt from VAT.
I worked briefly in this field. The key concept is the “sonar equation,” but it needs to be modified to include the factors of the specific area of ocean (depth, cylindrical/spherical propagation characteristics, temp, shipping traffic, etc).

XEP-0027 became officially obsolete in 2014. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt they didn't mean anyone has to think about XEP-0027 in 2021.

Tons of toy compilers are written in functional languages. Standard ML or ocaml are probably the first thing that grad students would reach for when developing a compiler from scratch that isn't intended for production purposes.

However, in the real world everybody is using GCC/LLVM because they have rich open source communities and your work might actually get used by humans. LLVM in particular is nicely architected to be easily extensible so you can focus on just the compiler feature you want rather than bothering with all the other stuff needed around it. So then you are bound to the architectural decisions of these platforms. GCC in particular is a bit of a spaghetti mess and was designed long before pure functional design was trendy so you just sort of need to live with it.

Immutable IR is also a big challenge since the IR tends to actually be quite large. Making copies of it is sloooow.
Stream is a bit closer than Fedora, but the larger point of needing paid support remains. The slow cadence of RHEL means that unless you are paying for support, things get kind of frozen around the .5 release. After that, they just won't backport fixes, not even regressions, unless a) You are paying, b) It's really a critical security bug. I don't think that will change with Stream.

To summarize, the RHEL model of releasing an OS every 5 years with these staggered upstreams is really not that great. It creates immense inertia and pain down the road. RedHat itself hasn't been able to port its own offerings like Satellite to RHEL 8. I would rather have the Ubuntu cadence of LTS releases every 2 years so that you are at most 2 years away from any fixes you need.
Human rights exist regardless of the laws of any country. I said US because "the Bill of Rights only constrain government actions" (which is what GP was saying with slightly different phrasing) is a very common talking point from American libertarians. I said "morals and things worth encouraging" to avoid using obvious examples of human rights (to avoid side-tracking the conversation) but okay here are some examples:

Slavery is an obvious and unquestionable violation of a person's human rights -- and that is a true statement regardless of the fact it was not illegal in many countries until the late-1800s (it was a violation of their human rights at the time as well). Same goes for the right to vote -- or if you prefer the right to self-governance -- which was not given to women and minorities until the mid-to-late 1900s. The fact that laws did not grant these people their rights doesn't mean their rights did not exist.

In addition it should be obvious that rights can be taken away by someone who is not an agent of a government. If you enslave someone it is a violation of their human rights regardless of whether it was sanctioned by a government. So (hopefully this was already self-evident) human rights also exist outside of government action.

That was the point I was making.
It also rarely matters. You're most likely about to catch a taxi/bus/train, spend the next hour under cover/indoors getting to your accommodation, then either go to sleep or start work. Unless I need to find a hurricane shelter, the weather outside at landing time is very likely useless.
Just the same, I wish make were a little more procedural.

> The thing about this "self-correction" is that nobody, but nobody has a mechanism to explain this force. Not how it works or worse yet, how it will know how to self-correct.

You could think of it that the universe where we exist must have a stable/consistent state.

If we go back in time and change the state, then that universe can't (didn't) exist, so it can't be the universe that we are in. From our point of view in the present (before time-travelling), the state change was in the past, it will have already happened before we start time-travelling.

This doesn't technically preclude us from going back in time. It's more that the present state (at least as we observe it) is pre-determined, since we already exist in the present.
