I wonder how much it contributes.

American Visiting Researchers at CERN, since they remain attached to their Universities, probably count toward their institution's ranking. But a full time researcher at CERN doesn't.

The JPL at Caltech and the Lincoln Laboratory at MIT are the opposite of that. They do, what could be considered mostly government research but I'm sure 100% of their citation count goes toward their respective institutions.
I really appreciate some of the detailed comments here, but I will caution people that if you have a serious medical condition you may find fasting is a lot harder on you than the above suggests it will be.

If it benefits you, it may get easier over time. I have a serious medical condition. I used to routinely throw up when I was even just underfed for one day.

It now takes longer than one day for me to start having strong reactions. Fasting and semi-fasting have been beneficial for my condition, but it was amazingly hard on me for a really long time and is still not easy.

I tend to semi-fast for somewhere between one and two days (often around 36 hours) most months. I've done longer -- up to a week -- but two per month for a newcomer sounds like a lot to me and I assume that's because of how hard it is on me.

So YMMV and probably will.
A dedicated warmer makes sense for restos, but if you're a home cook, just put the butcher paper wrapped brisket in an insulated cooler and let it sit. Nothing else is required (except maybe some kitchen towels. It will stay warm for hours, improving as it rests, and it is easy to take places as well. As OP said, good gloves are worth it.
Hm. I still get "Please enable JavaScript to view the page content.

Oh well.
This always gets said, and I don't exactly think it's untrue, but it carries this strong implication that the problem is that people are too cheap to pay.

And I'm not sure that's entirely true.

My own pet theory is that - payment method and model issues aside - the largest contributor is the uncomfortable questions it makes us ask ourselves.

When you pay for something, you ask yourself if whatever you are buying is actually worth the price. And a lot (most?) of what people seem to do on the web these days is feed their dopamine as much novelty as they can, as quickly as possible.

I don't know how much value people are expecting to get out of their browsing activities. Do they even think it's actually worth the time, if they stop and think about it? Asking them to pay for it is forcing them to confront this issue.

No wonder nobody pays.
Why not Django REST Framework if you're feeding an SPA?
holy thats good. nicely written
I agree with your statement's intent, but it not quite right to compare the eradication of higher level creatures in the food chain to ones that are quite lower. The eradication of insects and bugs can potentially be more disruptive than removing an apex predator species.

As others have stated however, mosquitoes have been studied to not have a significant impact if they were to go extinct.
Really? Whats the total number of doge that’s going to exist in circulation?

The languages are kin, but Java has more going for it.

C# is much smaller community.

Microsoft isn't as good about avoiding breaking changes.

Java has more quality tooling options.

The CLR GC is way worse. Shenandoah and ZGC, and even G1 on new versions blow away CLR GC.

Also heard the JIT compiler isn't as good from an Oracle dev a while back. C# performs better in synthetic benchmarks because it exposes more low level primitives.

C# is far ahead in syntactical niceness and exposing lower level primitives. It also has reified generics and true primitive types. The "language" itself is definitely better than Java, there's no question. It's everything built around Java and the capabilities of the JVM that make it better than C#.
This one is flagged, for example.

FTP is still used by some photographers at major sporting events. The cameras they use actually have RJ jacks in the side, and they run Ethernet cables back to a router, or maybe a second operator with a computer. The cameras have built-in FTP clients, and can upload image files as they are taken. It's apparently important for stills images to appear in near-real-time on sports web sites.
Adding to the above - Tensor Comprehensions was path-finding research and is no longer maintained. The git repo is frozen (archived) as a research artifact.

Halide is still quite active, and was used in products at Adobe and Google circa 2016-2017. Not sure about the current state of industry usage though.

What made you think it was schools that took advantage of the situation ?
I agree with you. But I also think that there is threat of potential violence that is unfamiliar to people from quiet little countries like Australia.

I never got shot and killed in the US, not even once. But the fear of gun violence is real, not just as a subjective experience but as a tool, Switzerland has more guns, but the US is unusual in that it is both a democracy and has so many guns on display.
The standard response to this from my side of politics is to say that the US needs gun control. My feeling is that the US is different because the US is different, it’s bigger, more complex and there are greater and more numerous tensions and conflicts than the other Anglo/euro democracies. Americans relationship to their government and the culture around personal responsibility and political participation is very different to the disconnected disinterest in my own country. So I don’t want US gun culture exported, and I don’t want my kids living in it.
But when you read things like:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_Coalfield_War

It seems there is an intimate connection between the generative political culture of the United States, that doesn’t shy away from conflict in pursuit of ideals, and gun culture, that cannot be easily separated. I believe there is something in American culture that calls people to intervene, that urges facing into conflict, even violence in pursuit of higher ideals that is both useful and destructive, even if we could never tally the full cost, in short order we can produce horrific numbers, but I believe this same imperative drives vital movements like feminism, gay rights, anti racism that inspire required changes in my country. So I both agree with you and think you’re missing the point.
Cancer, heart disease, dementia are numerically vastly greater killers, but as an outsider from Australia coming to the US the underlying conflict in the society is hard to come terms with, it is much better hidden in Australia. I think my experience is common, I will always regret leaving the US. I adjusted to that sense of threat that personally, and I think I would have tolerated it if I had stayed and had children there, but I can’t bring myself to move my children there.
It makes me wonder why that DNS server is being that way. Switching away from it just sidestepped the issue.

All this tracking and the adds are still irrelevant garbage.

If you haven't checked recently (within the last year) it might be worth it to check again, I started playing at around the same time as you so I have noticed that some cards, even from sets that were "overprinted" like Ice Age, have shot up in value considerably. You can check dawnglare to get an idea of what things are like now (https://mtg.dawnglare.com/?p=viz).
I think WASM used in this way will turn out to be the "new flash".

People coding into this sort of platform will ask for the whole language std, which in turn will have to be compiled to WASM, which will make massive blobs. And this is exactly what GWT was about, only that it was more sane giving it was compiled to Javascript.

Sure, some specialized applications (probably the ones that use C/C++ unique libraries like MMPEG) might benefit from it, but if we are complaining about modern Javascript libraries sizes now, i guess this will make us miss the good ol' days.

I hope browsers don't fall for this and keep WASM blobs working on the background as modules and accelerators as they should.
I'm not as excited about this as I was for HTTP/2 . Every benchmark I've seen is <5% performance improvement.

I've heard the difference is larger on cellular networks with packet loss but haven't seen examples.

What we need more than HTTP/3 is ESNI. Exposed server names are a real security risk.
This is why example.com exists.
Well, putting a couple of USB drives in a sock drawer, garden shed, etc. is pretty secure. Point 2 is the tricky one, as communicating that necessity seems challenging.
Microwaved or boiled. Plain. 2 a day.
It was very boring.
Definitely the best in their category. No one makes better American Coffee than Americans.

What I find interesting is that Americans are most proud of their culture at home, and when overseas that tends to be moderated. Whereas some immigrants always say their native country has 'the best X'. I'm thinking in particular about some Greek immigrants I've known, but then in the next breath they'll tell you about corruption back home.
I upgraded Signal on my Linux machine recently. It started by re-schema-ing its configuration, and then froze, ignoring all UI events as if it had a modal dialog box up. So I downgraded Signal, but the old version refused to use the re-schema-ed configuration.

Always copy your Signal configs before trying a new Signal version.

Element's current release has the same UI problem, ignoring all UI input. New messages appear and show on counters, but no UI events break through.

Both Signal and Element are Electron apps, run on Debian in a VM, with software rendering. Evidently something changed in Electron. Ideas welcome.
> However, once Starship is crew-rated for launch and re-entry, the number of possible crew is going to increase – I don't know what the limit is, but at least 10, maybe even 20.

Elon has mentioned Starship carrying 100 people. NASA however, has fewer than 50 astronauts.
The most important takeaway about present tense is that the experience of reading a story in present tense is different from the experience of reading a story in past tense. This opens a discussion about how present tense is different and why you would choose it.

I'm glad to see an article that tackles these issues instead of focusing on some "controversy" about whether it should be used at all.
Ok no longer monitoring this post. If you want it find a way to get my attention :)
Impressive specs for a good price. I can’t imagine needing more than 16 gb of ram for a laptop but it is tempting although I imagine that would tax the battery a bit. Does anyone know how compatible pureos is with Ubuntu apps in general?
Yea. Never eat only one food for extended periods.

This was a pure desperation move.
The OP says:

> This essay is based on the article “Szeged in 1934”, which was compiled by Reuben Hersh from two manuscripts of Lorch’s for a proposed book on mathematics in Hungary.

Based on it, yes -- to the extent that you should just read the original. I'm not sure if the OP article really counts as plagiarism, but it's not worth reading when the original is right here.
I really like it, especially the Inter font, which I think is much better than Cantarell. I hope the GNOME team decides to switch to it.

Air Charter Services and Its 4 Benefits

The article mentions the importance of having a diverse group of people running the study, but more specifically you need multiple people coding or tagging the data independently, and then you need to run analysis on inter-coder reliability to measure the degree to which those independent coders' judgments agree with each other.

You cannot reliably quantify qualitative data without assessing inter-coder reliability.

I don't think this is a lesson, at all.
It looks like it is actually a meta-analysis: A study of several other studies, which has good points and pitfalls.

we combined community-based prospective cohorts: Tokyo Oldest Old Survey on Total Health (TOOTH), Tokyo Centenarians Study (TCS) and Japanese Semi-Supercentenarians Study (JSS) comprising 1554 individuals including 684 centenarians and (semi-)supercentenarians, 167 pairs of centenarian offspring and spouses, and 536 community-living very old (85 to 99 years).

One of the good points is that it tends to include data from a great many more people than most studies can include. One of the pitfalls is that it is challenging to combine data from multiple studies because they probably used different methodologies, were measuring different things, etc and this puts a lot of noise in the data and cleaning the data to get something useful and meaningful can be quite hard.

Meta studies can be a case of "garbage in, garbage out." But when they are done well, they can roll up a whole lot of information together to draw conclusions we simply don't have the resources to meaningfully study some other way.

Telegram requires verification by phone. Despite that measure, spam from thousands of bots is not uncommon.

Phone numbers barely help.

What really works though, is microtransactions. I have not seen any spam in chats where you are required to pay even a tiny fraction of a cent to join (1/64000th of a cent).
I use two open source note taking apps on my Android device. Anything that needs to be protected and private stays in Standard Notes. Everything else goes into Markor. Markor strikes an amazing balance between features and simplicity. Syncthing handles sync. Standard Notes does fine for the other stuff, but as said by other commenters, even it's Extended editor options are lacking, and there's also no convenient way to "share" content from another app into Standard Notes. People have been asking for that feature for years, but bizzarely it seems never to have been prioritized.
Do Clothes Displayed with Models Sell More?
Yep. For example, here in Stockholm they recently built a new regional hospital. It turned out to be many times over budget and is one of the most expensive buildings in the world with a total construction cost exceeding that of Burj Khalifa.

The book review doesn't mention New Public Management which I think is odd. Nuclear construction costs started to skyrocket at precisely the time NPM became vogue. NPM states that governments are bad at doing stuff and should do as little as possible. Everything governments need should be acquired from private companies who bid for contracts. Lowest bidders win.

This almost never works because companies' motives are different from governments'. The government wants the nuclear plant built on time. The company who won the contract doesn't mind if it takes twice as long because that could mean twice the profit. So governments respond by adding more stipulations and regulations to the contracts which only makes it easier for companies to find exploitable loopholes in them to extract more tax-payer money.
At this point, I think it's become a "too big to fail" argument for the industry.

We have several near-trillion-dollar companies that basically have no viable business model other than doubling down on targeted advertising. If third-party cookies get demonized or GDPR'd to death, they need to pivot to SOMETHING else that still fits into the same profiling paradigm.

I suspect it's not about results or innovation anymore, it's about being a moat. Only a trillion-dollar company with huge scale and scope can possibly build and maintain "high quality" profiles, so it's a great way to spread FUD against any competing, potentially actually privacy-first, ad-tech upstarts.

I'm sort of waiting for the "Emperor has no clothes" moment. We see the occasional "Brand stops advertising for 6 months and sales stay on trend" story, or the "our best conversions come from real content and relevant direct ads" story. We have the fact that ad spend grows and yet publishers starve, implying the middlemen are taking an ever-larger chunk of value out of the ecosystem in exchange for their services. It's gonna be ugly when the dots are joined.

This is multi-pronged. Chip manufacturing output isn't flexible, and in the last year

* E-sports becoming a real sport
* 2 new console releases
* Amazing new CPU's from AMD
* Amazing new graphics cards from AMD/Intel.
* Another crypto boom/bubble (depending on who you ask)

All these factors have put pressure on chip production.

If there's one thing that has become apparent during COVID, it's that there is great reason to be skeptical of "official government guidelines" of in situations like COVID (acutely emerging and constantly changing scenario.)

They simply can't process information fast enough to make well informed statements.

Now I don't have an opinion on ayurvedic medicine and it's legitimacy but something being "banned by the government" alone means nothing today.

The biggest and most useful open source projects are often either funded or created by financially successful corporations. The rest of open source is generally rife with useless junk that benefits almost no one (except maybe the author) precisely because there is no pressure to validate ideas and outcomes with money. This isn't an argument or discouragement against open source, but any financially successful product is a billion times more likely to be impactful and useful than sampling by almost any other factor like open source.

Apologies for chiming in, but I wonder is you can give a piece of advise for someone who discovered Cary Grant movies just a short while ago?

Recommended Arsenic and Old Lace weren't enjoyable at all (Grant played amazingly though), but the Philadelphia Story (best movie I've seen in years), Charade, North by Northwest, Father Goose - those are amazing masterpieces which I enjoyed a lot.
PureOS is Debian-based, so the packaging is the same, though the repositories are different. It's not a good idea to install Ubuntu packages onto a Debian based system, though they can work.

If you decide you really want Ubuntu, like I did when I got my Librem 13, it's really easy to install. If you want PureBoot that might take some extra doing. I can't tell from a cursory read of the docs whether it works for Ubuntu. Coreboot should work fine though.
I'm always curious who is behind a company. How many people work there, how it is funded, where they are based, type of corporation, etc.

These things make a big difference. Eg I typically trust a non profit that's been around for a couple of years more than a venture funded startup that just launched.

This company doesn't even state where they are based or what the name of the company is on the website. They have a statement on longevity on their website, but no mention at all who this company even is.

This does not inspire trust.
