One thing I'm always surprised with is how people are so confident in their own baseless, unsubstantiated claims.

Your entire comment basically is based off your own bias. Research can and already has been done on this issue, showing that you're probably wrong. I implore you to read this paper which already puts to rest your outdated notions that men are somehow more competitive than women. I'd like to emphasize the following with respect to competition and finances:

> The same line of reasoning might lead to the
expectation that men should compete more about financial
success than women do, since this would make them more
attractive to women. The data, however, do not support
this: there was no sex difference in the strength of
competitive feeling about attaining financial success,
nor were there consistent differences in the fraction of
diary entries concerned with things that might be
thought to lead to financial success, such as success at
school; in fact, in Study 1 women had a
larger fraction of diary entries about success at work
than men did.

No worries though, I'll just believe your baseless conjecture instead of a peer-reviewed paper.
Selling their systems to totalitarian governments like azerbaijan is wreaking havok and not advancing peace for israelis. with great power comes great responsibility, yet a lot of israelis play the amoral card in my experience
It has nothing to do with entitlement. It has to do with the fruit of the labor not being worth the price necessary to remunerate that labor.

1. Weeklong disruptions are a thing and would occur in the event of month long plumes from forest fires, major volcanic activity or other long tail natural disasters.

2. Relying on such a tightly coupled national grid as required to deploy that storage is a recipe for disaster in the event of any war or unconventional conflict. A few shut down transmission lines or stations could cripple entire national economy.

3. Overbuilding completely ignores the very real human and environmental costs of doing so. Rare earths are not very green, forced labor as used by much of the solar industry not very humane. You are condemning millions today to hypothetical harm to thousands tomorrow. It's insanity.

Faker.js – generate massive amounts of fake data
Yup, it's not just you. I've been receiving that same sorry message in the app ever since I switched from T-Mobile regular to T-Mobile prepaid last year.

During the switch, I had to provide all my information all over again even though I was with T-Mobile for many years. The customer service rep said it's because they are "two different systems".
Do you have as many events in both samples?

If not, even if you measure the same thing, the variance may differ - you can start applying the law of large numbers since you mentionned "millions" and just consider a normal distribution, but for rare events you need something different (Poisson)

Are the series static? If not (ex: temperature) you will have to model on time. As the link mentions people crossing intersection, I assume more people will at 9am than at 2am (7 hours ago). Likewise if one series is a weekday and the other a weekend, you may have surprises!

You have to consider other things (ex: day of the week).

I would recommend avoiding the problem altogether: fit something (KDE, ARIMA...) on your timeseries, and plot the fit with the 95% CI from X=0 to X=24

Do the same for the other series, from X=0 to X=7 and see if they are at least in the same CI

Then compute the correlation of the 2 fits (just to have a reference number) and use that as a metric.

If it costs more money to keep these dinosaurs running than installing solar and wind and batteries to replace natural gas and coal, then... you're wasting money on nuclear.

"Old nuclear" is fundamentally not cost competitive with current solar/wind, and it's only going to get much much worse in the next decade, especially if perovskites hit mainstream utility solar and cheap grid storage (such as that military salt water battery or increasing-density LFP) becomes a reality.

The barrage of hydrogen, nuclear, and synthetic fuel stories is indicative of the desperation of the market reality of solar/wind/electric vehicle/battery economics to oil/gas/nuclear/ICE.

Once the price curves flatten out, then maybe next-gen hydro/nuclear/geothermal can chase a stable price point. I do think nuclear can still beat solar/wind once the economics of those stabilize and with the right regulatory, after all I'm a LFTR stan.

"Old Nuclear" plants will be propped up by the military that want their weapons grade isotopes.

I get your frustration (and shared it a year ago), but you're really doing something like react a disservice by dismissing it like that as just hype. On the contrary react has evolved significantly over the years, introducing things like JSX (templating HTML + JS in the same file, now standard in every other component system), build tooling like create-react-app (zero config tooling, now standard in every JS build tool), functional component model with hooks (now copied by every other component library), and on the horizon stuff like server-side components. It has only gotten more stable, more proven, and easier to use over time.

From your link:

> In September of 1936, Wingate was posted to Palestine as an intelligence officer with the British Mandate. His obsession with the Bible had a profound effect on his views during this posting, turning him into an ardent Zionist and supporter of the idea of a Jewish state.

So this is yet another example of individual actions based on his personal convictions, not of the British Empire acting at the state level.

Compare that to the British official support of other military and paramilitary groups, such as the Arab Legion:

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

These examples shows substantial evidence for the British Empire itself formally supporting groups that _fought_ Israel. Indeed the Arab Legion was among the chief military forces to attack Israel in 1948:

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

> During the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, the Arab Legion was considered the strongest Arab army involved in the war.[3] Glubb led the Arab Legion across the River Jordan to occupy the West Bank (May 1948). Despite some negotiation and understanding between the Jewish Agency and King Abdullah, severe fighting took place in Kfar Etzion massacre (May 1948), Jerusalem and Latrun (May–July 1948).

John Bagot Glubb was a British officer in official capacity leading a force trained and commanded by other British officers to a fight against Israel.

In 2018, 50-60% of Monero hashrate was rumored to be from secret ASICs. How “successful” at warding off ASICs could hard forking a coin’s hashing algorithm really be if it doesn’t stop the ASIC manufacturers from building ASICs for any given algorithm?

Also it seems clear that Monero’s purported “ASIC resistance” is very much a social contract — requiring constant vigilance to uphold — one which isn’t guaranteed to be strictly adhered to over the long run, particularly as the cost/benefit analysis gets murkier.

Listen, if you guys want to strict-law yourself so people can't talk to other people, I think that's fine. There should be rules that say people who have strict-lawed themselves should be protected from loose-laws and out-laws. And strict-laws can then interact with strict-laws.

In fact, I'm even okay with defaulting to strict-laws and then one takes a test to allow being a loose-law who can interact with other loose-laws.

Then, yes, strict-laws can live a nice safe life better than ever before and spend their time arguing on the Internet about how r > g etc. etc.

But the problem is that strict-laws won't allow loose-laws so until you put that distinction in place, you should know that it is true political war and no loose-law will give any quarter because while we want to let you to be able to occupy your space, you don't want to permit us to occupy ours.

Which is closer to how opinion and editorial columns operate in traditional/print publications.

General reader responses are curated into a "Letters to the Editor" section, whereas the real discussion tended to happen between columnists in their respective columns.

That in contrast to what seems to be the popular misunderstanding—that columnists' opinion columns are summaries of an entire publication's political and philosophical stance.
But it is not useful here to think of skill and genetics as being on a continuum, it just produces confusion because these two orthogonal concepts have very similar terminologies, but its a mixed metaphor.

It's good to be a genetic generalist during times of instability specifically because you are incapable of changing your genes during the upheaval - and thus while you may not thrive in any circumstance the risk of extinction is also mitigated. If we had advanced genetic engineering, and could rapidly adopt different genes to suit the circumstances without having to wait for generations of random mutations, there would be no reason not to specialize genetically. While this is a pure hypothetical for genetics, it is reality for behavior - no matter how much you've invested into learning one skill, you can instantly switch to learning another, and you can choose exactly the skillset you want to curate. When a new field emerges, your experience in other, unrelated fields is irrelevant - the specialist is at no disadvantage compared to the generalist, and so they sacrifice nothing by specializing in a field.

In contrast to genetic evolution, which has very discrete goals (reproduce, survive, etc) and is agnostic about how these goals are achieved, skillsets can have a much wider range of objectives and the 'how' is integral. A finch might optimize for eating nuts or insects, or could remain a generalist to handle both, but is unlikely to come across a nut-insect hybrid where the generalist beak outperforms either the nut or the insect beak. But such interdisciplinary situations happen all the time - for example the roboticist with understanding of mechanics and software can do better than either a pure mechanical engineer or pure software engineer. The roboticist has a wider, shallower skillset, but that is only beneficial for tasks which happen to overlap - they won't have any easier time switching to say pharmaceutical development. It simply doesn't make sense to think of the roboticist as a generalist and the other engineers as specialists in the evolutionary sense.

Certainly any direct comparison of specific behavioral to genetic specializations is illogical. By what metric would you compare how well adapted a lion is to a big game hunter with a gun? How could you compare a dam-building construction crew to a family of beavers? Again, we might use similar words to describe what they are doing, but we are describing totally distinct concepts.
Yes, that is called the "apex fallacy."
I have to assume this would lead to a worse end outcome for everyone. I don't trust the reviews on any website completely but reading through enough of them tends to give me a decent idea of how good a product is. I'll read the top, bottom, and middle reviews and read them across multiple sites if possible. I don't do this for everything but for larger purchases or long-use items I do.

I don't really trust Amazon/Google to actually review items themselves and I'm sure that would cause all sorts of other issues like Amazon/Google either lying/fudging to keep a big client or certain items not being popular enough for Amazon/Google to spend the time to vet.

I've literally had a single lone review on a product be immensely helpful. I was looking for RAM that would work in my Synology and I found it by model number but I wasn't sure if the listing was accurate (blurry image, bad description, etc). I scrolled down to the reviews and there was 1 single review that said something like "If you are buying this for the XXXXX Synology it will work, expect ~5min on first boot for it to check/scan/test the RAM and then you will be good to go". I bought it and it worked perfectly for me.

Without that review I might not have bought from that seller and instead paid ~20%+ more on another site. Reviews have problems for sure but I don't think getting rid of them or giving complete control to Amazon/Google/etc is the right fix.

This past week The Register ran a "debate", with one article "for" the motion, and one "against" it.

The topic was the use of the word "hacker".

I found the results of the readers' poll quite interesting, as most are in favour of NOT associating the word "hacker" with a criminal connotation, unlike what seems to be the use of the word in other media and contexts.
Or so they've been led to believe after 20 years of right wing hawkish rule.
that's a false dichotomy. you can support freeing up urban real estate and retirees downsizing without assuming a house is an investment. for instance, if the economic system acted to stabilize home values neutrally rather than explicitly promoting increasing valuations (through interest rates, and other mechanisms), you could still have those positive dynamics without the negative externalities.
Indeed. My point is that we haven't matured to the point of respecting our children enough to not mutilate them, which is a far more basic accomplishment than respecting their psychological needs. We force teenagers to adhere to the sleep schedules of adults despite numerous studies indicating doing so damages their health and academic performance. There are a lot of steps between where we are now and a society that will condemn us as barbarians for not providing boys extra PE.
Well how else to make sure all your dollars go to the right place? I'm not suggesting that a rigid, top-down structure is necessary, but there must some way of pursuing effectiveness, knowledge, and efficiency with relying on serendipity or cargo cult superstition. With this in mind, I'd argue the opposite of your claim: stagnation by bureaucracy is a conditional failure to achieve your stated ends. It isn't the inevitable evolution towards decline that you suggest it is. A working bureaucracy should behave like a working scientific instrument.
I'm pretty sure there are a number of Roblox games that allow you to build things like buildings or logic circuits. Enough to say that "you don't make stuff in Roblox" needs qualification, at the very least.

>And "What The Bleep Do We Know" made tens of millions of dollars (which is worth way more then 62k likes, but instead millions of people paying to watch it). It's still a load of horse crap.

That's again a terrible comparison. How much something made is not the same as a video on a public platform open to criticism from anyone who is willing to offer criticism in an open comment section. Deniers like yourself can't provide any argument which would hold up to scrutiny that's why you here making hand wavy allegation without engaging anything in specific.

>62k likes on youtube is not some high barrier of truth to clutch your pearls about. Go look at the like count of flat earth videos for another example.

Compare the ratings on such videos and the comments, it's not even remotely on the same level. Your comparisons are dishonest and reek of desperation. You are not addressing the arguments in the video, because you can't, that's why you resort to deceptive rhetoric.

>I'm pointing out that it's using well known techniques to make people seem like they're saying the opposite of what they're actually saying, while infusing the whole argument with emotional impact unrelated to what's being said.

Nonsense. You are again making vague allegations without specifying anything in particular. Your deceptive rhetoric is ineffective.

>As I said originally, the OP would be better off not using a documentary that doesn't use techniques known for telling lies via editing.

As I said originally, you would be better of not trying to defend the ccp's genocide with deceptive vague, hand wavy rhetoric thinking that people are too stupid to see through your dishonest talking points.
This is great =). I have owned a large webhook delivery system myself, and considered starting a SaaS around it. I'm also a big fan of webhooks and I think there is definitely a market for this out there. Kudos to you for taking the plunge and launching!

>If Software Engineers want to get rid of algorithmic interviews, all they have to do is come up with a professional exam and a strict licensing body... just like most professions carrying a tittle (MD, Lawyers...).

I don't particularly want to defend China, but at least they have contributed to the fundamental "victory" economics of solar being able to challenge natural gas.

This is a form of compression that is made to preserve chart visual looks, if I understand it right. There is no analysis on how it bias the data with the down sample.

My instinct is the algorithm looks too specialized for this one task (which is good sometimes, if used for the right task).

As a thought could you not use a FFT to the frequency domain and remove the high frequency data. And then retransform it back to the time domain.

Fourier transforms are used all over the place, and FFT libs are usually well optimized and can even be hardware accelerated.

Without checking it, the cut off frequency would be determined by the Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem. And should be dependent of the width of the graph in pixels.

So if the graph is resized, then recompute the new down sampled timeseries from the new Nyquist–Shannon sampling limit of the new width.

A sliding DFT can also be used for streaming data for realtime.
