I don't remember what I initially used for Mandarin.

I tend to use a mixture of pre-made and handmade decks. A good pre-made deck is a godsend, but I always have a handmade one in addition for stuff that I find.

Looking at the shared Anki decks, "Chinese Grammar Wiki Study Deck" looks pretty good. It's perhaps a little large, but I target 35 new cards a day, for a pace of 1000 new cards a month assuming 80% of the time I'll hit that the goal is 10k in one year. So 5k cards puts that at 5 months for me. "Chinese Grammar Wiki A1-B2" is potentially a better starting point if want a smaller, more manageable deck. That one only has 500 or so cards, which is easy to knock off in a couple of weeks.

"Listening Deck for Chinese 4th Year" looks like a very good deck. It seems to have everything I would want; reading cards + listening cards - both of these are absolutely essential with Mandarin, it also goes from HSK1 to HSK6 and has a lot of cards. It probably has too many for me, so I would look at how to approach it but the quality of the resource seems great from what I can see, so would be very interested in this one. Sentences possibly come from a site called SpoonFed from what I can tell.

How I use a particular deck depends on my goals. I modify them to suit my needs where I can. For example the Portuguese deck I'm using at the moment I think had 2 card types, maybe PT -> En and En -> PT, or perhaps it was listening and reading etc, but I know the only skill I need to train with Portuguese is listening, so I changed the deck to remove the card types I didn't need.

The other thing that has worked well is suspending all cards on decks that are far too large to do all the cards, and using a list of grammar points or vocab and using the search feature to selectively unsuspend a few cards per thing that you're searching for. "20000 chinese - english sentences with proper pinyin" looks like a deck you could do that with.
Inputting stuff into Anki takes time, so I try to minimise that time. Not eliminate it, because there's very much a large amount of utility in handmaking decks. But for example a good online dictionary where you can copy / paste sentences is a benefit.

Generally when it comes to decks I'm looking for 2 kinds. Either a starter deck, or a complete reference deck.

The perfect starter deck is around 2k sentences with audio (if no audio I just use TTS and this is good enough!) and covers from A1 grammar up to at least B2, but if it covers more then that's a bonus. B2 is like upper intermediate, and that range is all the common day to day stuff you hear and use all the time. I think like HSK1 to HSK4 in the case of Mandarin.

Complete reference decks are usually between 5k to 10k sentences and are often from some corpus or dictionary. These are the type I like to suspend all and selectively unsuspend if I have a need for that.

With decks I take what I can get, but I generally have a standard I'm looking for and if nothing pre-made meets the standard I'll find good reference materials and handmake it instead.

Hope that helps.

It has nothing to do with cultural reasons. Every lawsuit in the U.S. and other places does the exact same thing, claim very high numbers, then perhaps settle for much less.
If I offer a 50%-75% raise for a role, I'm going to attract the very best talent for it, people who will leave their current roles for the one I'm offering. Supply and demand exist for a specific good, and 1x vs. a 5x or 10x talent aren't comparable goods. This is why I like the flat salary with variable equity model. The incentives are almost beautiful.

If the role I'm looking to fill can be filled by cheaper people whose work I'm indifferent to, I should just be outsourcing it because they aren't delivering anything above the transaction, and they won't be be assets to growing a company.

I don't think capital markets relied on the printing press. The Hanseatic league, arguably the first free-trade organisation, was established well before Gutenberg built his press (1150 vs 1450 AD, roughly). Do you have a reference for that? I'm curious to explore it.

If you're referring to the availability of paper money, bank notes were already used in the 7th century AD in China and introduced in Europe by Marco Polo in the 13th century [1], and before that the Knights Templar issued hand-written notes to the same effect.

I’m not sure spammers pay wholesale rates. Pretty sure they purchase the cheapest SIM cards with unlimited texts and put them in gsm modems which spam out texts.

In Australia a SIM card can be purchased retail, with unlimited texts for $5.

At 750~ texts sent you’ve already beat that wholesale rate. That’s approximately one an hour, over the month. I’d be surprised if they couldn’t pump much larger volumes.

As a runner, when I’m in marathon training mode, my rest heart rate is very close to 40. Pro or very serious athletes can have a resting heart rate near 30. It’s actually a great way to tell your current fitness level (if you know your own baselines)

You would need to know a lot more before you worry about 50 being low.

It's complicated. Copts (about 20% of the population) in Egypt are the most direct descendants of the ancient Egyptians. Greeks, Arabs, Ottomans, British, French invaded and took control at various points in between. Arabs brought Islam and Arabic language to Egypt with most Copts being Christian and no longer speaking Coptic (a language descended from ancient Egyptian) today, there's additional tension and politics.

I know the religious art influence from europe is explored in this but it is really striking how much it reminds me of a byzantine christian icon.

The simple full-body centering of the single figure, the use of color, the unnatural but symbolism-heavy pose. I don't know much about art honestly but something about the light also seems that way. Later catholic and I think russian? style icons became more realistic and don't have that look.

The halo too but that's less interesting to me than the feel of the whole thing which is very icon-like.
That may have worn thin, nowadays. The average response here would have been described as cynical in the past. The Russia/China scapegoat had been way overused to the point where I'm cynical every time it comes up probably even where it's actually true, one time in a hundred or whatever.

Basically that is how many computers used to work in the old days, and also what is known as bare metal programming, where the language runtime takes the role of a very thin OS.
Sure but taking advantage of context is how most brevity works.

For instance which words are superfluous is context dependent. Also "eliminate every superfluous word" is good advice primarily in context of the question "how do I improve my writing", it's terrible advice for "how do I stop pooping so much".
I tried Julia in 2018 as my new programming language to learn that year. The syntax is clean and simple, and I remember it as a "Pascal for scientific computing" - as easy to read as Python yet faster execution.

I liked the static type checking and compilation, but found it frustrating at the time that the sample code from a book I had purchased didn't work; overall, the language seemed to be still too much in flux to be entrusted with an important project, although I have spoken with fellow scientists who use it as their main language for experimentation and are happy.

Python is clearly winning because most important libraries are C++ under the bonnet - or even Cython (which is used e.g. by SpaCy), and its ecosystem with IPython, Jupyter notebooks and comprehensive data science libraries (pandas, matplotlib, sklearn, numpy, ...).

The thing I don't get about this explanation is that typically (as far as I know) hass avocados are grown in hass avocado plantations. Meaning that while they're technically a mixture of both of the parent plants, chances are a hass avocado is polinated from another hass avocado tree.
Caldera was a decent distro in its day. It had some potential (it was funded initially by Ray Noorda's Canopy VC which gave it a little leg up), but its fall off/acquisition by SCO was fast, hard and ugly.

"The Cloud" absolutely can NOT be trusted with anything serious. I'm still amazed serious people actually think it's a smart or wise idea. It's become a "Go to the fridge and get the box" type of mindless laziness by far too many marketers and developers.

Many people never change phone numbers. I've had the same cell phone number since I was a teenager, and I suspect I will have it until I die.

It's the most identifiable thing about me other than my social security number. Even my driver's license number has changed more than my cell phone, and I don't always have a valid passport.

The flip side of this is that modern life is really really unfriendly to people with pets. I don’t have a pet, don’t want one either so I have no horse in this race. Basically everywhere where you aren’t required by law to allow animals refuses them because making even the smallest voluntary accommodations for people is just something that doesn’t happen.

The service animal thing is just a loophole to allow people to bring their pets on available-to-the-public transport the way car owners can. Because if you aren’t in walking distance to a dog park and don’t own a car sucks for you I guess.

I don’t think anyone is arguing that untrained animals should just be let to run wild at malls but the blanket refusals that happen don’t even allow for the possibility of well-behaved animals.

Like it would be an absolutely crazy world if every single business and all transportation refused to allow children unless it was deemed medically necessary for the child that their parent be with them at all times. Being a parent would be a logistics nightmare. Being a single parent with an infant would basically be impossible. But that’s what pet owners have to deal with unless they have their own car or are fine confining their pet to their house for their entire life. If this wasn’t already the norm it would be nuts.
I have a good deal of experience with Mikrotik's offerings, and I am not looking to power networks I support with a patchwork of different systems that each have their own interface.

Most of the value proposition of the Unifi lineup is I can look at a single website that I host and see the WiFi clients connected to an access point, what switch feeds that access point internet (and whether its linked at gigabit or 100Mbps), uptime on all devices involved in the stack, whether the client has poor WiFi quality, trouble DHCPing, etc.

The single pane of glass to view everything when I am many miles from the networks I support is essential. Compared to when these sites were on PFSense before migrating, these networks have improved uptime, rapid remediation of issues, and changing VLANs, SSIDs and labeling each client on the network is a snap.

Edit: Borrowed /u/bpye's single pane of glass term

Hmmm… you made me have another, closer look this time. :) In one of the photos it looks like on the other party's side there is a projector near the ceiling in the back but then in subsequent photos that projector's light is gone and there's a different, stronger light that seems much closer to their camera/screen. Is this correct?

Also, have you considered/tried using an actual LCD screen? At our company we're currently dabbling with digital signage devices (for entirely different purposes) and the big ones are quite impressive. I could imagine that, in terms of dimensions and appearance, they would work quite well for your purposes.

The one I have is from https://getuhoo.com/home and was around $300. For CO2, it looks like resolution is 1 ppm with a tolerance of ±50 ppm or ±3% of reading (higher of the two).

We have to distinguish websites from web applications.

Websites have no reason to use JavaScript. They should be a collection of documents, possibly generate dynamically on the server side, but to the user HTML+CSS that can be viewed in a browser, downloaded with curl, viewed as source code, etc.

Web applications have no reason to exist. Basically we are turning the browser into a JVM, a way to run code portably. But this have nothing to do with the web! It's just bytecode loaded from a remote server. What Figma, or GMail, or Google Docs has to do with a website? Nothing.

These things shouldn't be implemented in a browser, it's not the right place. These problem should have been solved at the operating system level, but it was too difficult for Microsoft to agree with Apple and the open source world on a portable operating system interface to made possible universal binaries among platforms, with maybe a bytecode, maybe a way to load code from an URL.

No they couldn't agree, so they took the only really open standard, the web, and bloated it, basically making it an operating system (well, Google even made it really one!), what's the point? That now most people run Windows or macOS with on top a browser (probably Chrome) into which they run 95% of the software that they use. Does this make sense? To me is a huge inefficiency, that only makes things slower, slower than they were in the 90s to me (even if we have order of magnitude more powerful hardware using the GMail web interface feels slower than what it was using Outlook on Windows 98).
I recently went with two 2200acs. Been mostly pleased, but there were some settings i had to play with to get the right router to use some of the more distant devices.. without custom settings it trys to load balance devices over choosing based on signal strength, thus a far device from the main router had an unusable connection..

You can use the Arch install process on other distros with tools like debootstrap (for Debian) or febootstrap (for Fedora). The nice thing about Arch is that they went to great length to document that particular workflow and make it a bit more accessible to casual users.

Just to follow up, I removed all the caulking when I terminated my lease and left the apartment in its original state, ready for its next victim...
The way I do it is count by nines from 32 to get to the temperature I want and then multiply by 5. For example, if I want to know what the corresponding temperature for 70 °F in Celsius, I would do the following:

0 -> 32
5 -> 41
10 -> 50
15 -> 59
20 -> 68

So I know the temperature in Celsius is just above 20 °C (21 °C give or take).

To speed up the process, I can use other starting points I know like 10 °C for 50 °F, 35 °C for 95 °F, -15 °C for 5 °F and, of course, at -40, it doesn't matter ;)

I like the similarity of your username to mine.

As to your point, I agree with you. I guess the comparison was meant in quite a pointed way that went over the heads of a lot of commenters here.

I was meaning to just draw attention to the fact that juxtaposing the numbers 82000 -> 600ish is quite a fantastical leap.

From what I've read about the older Waymo days, I think the leadership ideas were a lot different than what they became under Krafcik. It's hard to imagine from where I'm sitting, such a stark pivot from inside the company.

I think Krafcik probably meant as well in the claims, they need X # of vehicles and so that implies that there must be X # of agents ready to pilot vehicles or that many vehicles even ready for installation and operation/testing.

Of course they were very much further than Theranos, I guess it's just the sheer magnitude of the claims in Krafcik's place.

All this to say: I don't know anything about cars, self-driving cars, electric cars, rental cars, etc. I do know bullshit when I see it, and Krafcik was selling it like someone with bills to pay.
The fact that it's almost everyone's reaction says a lot about the substance behind the lawsuit.
