I have been making encrypted file transfer in past with Perl. It would be trivial to symmetrically encrypt a file, use command line or WWW interface to upload it, and construct a link where user just need to enter password to decrypt the file on the fly from the server. Upon download, file would be destroyed.

They made a fuss about simple software. More work is to be done to make HTML nice, but I would make it very simple and usable in any browser, including text browsers.

The cost of medical school is not a bottleneck. Lower prices would be nice, but even with current high prices all accredited medical schools have essentially full enrollment.

The real bottleneck is in lack of federal funding for residency programs. Every year students graduate from medical school with an MD but are unable to practice medicine because they don't get matched to a residency slot.

I totally agree with you on the potential abuse of network effects.

However, if the problem is a network effect like you describe, I would say that the it is grounded in monopoly/oligopoly exploitation. I think it is separate from the discussion of advertising and manipulative content.
This insidious equivocating between friends recommending things to each-other and companies buying themselves a piece of your attention for profit by advertising apologists is pretty gross.
No, they point to growth as an explanation, and the authors dismiss one possible geological process known from earth. There is no reason to dismiss unknown geological and chemical processes that can happen at the extremes of low pressure and temperature found on the Martian surface.

I agree with you! But manual transmissions don't necessarily work as you'd assume - my brother at 18 could text or have a soda and shift at the same time. Similarly, we can end up at our destinations without remembering exactly all the steps - it's become automatic.

That said, most people feel there's less need for following distance when it's an automatic - that's what I consider a bad and dangerous habit.

They have a range of second factor options, including simple SMS to your phone, the use of their authenticator app (which presumably uses TOTP ([1]), and which could therefore be replaced with compatible alternatives, e.g., LastPass's authenticator app), or USB keys containing a second factor (possibly TOTP-based).

>I've never clicked on an internet ad.

The most successful ads looks very similar to the organic content and tend to have very similar targeting mechanisms. Search ads that look like search results.

In my experience all those ads are quiet close to content I'd like and I've clicked on quiet a few without realizing it's an ad.
APS-C is compatible with super 35 format (approximately 24mm x 18mm). It appears in digital consumer cameras because APS-C size sensors make sense for film-making...because super 35 made sense for film making. It made sense for movie film because wide-screen images could be made on 35mm film using spherical lenses which are simpler and hence cheaper than anamorphic lenses.

Digitally, APS-C sensors made even more sense as television (and video) moved away from 4:3 ratio. APS-C stills cameras introduced by Kodak in the days before digital became common is another story...or the same story of Kodak trying to lock in a proprietary system (that story goes back to the first Kodak cameras).
An important question is: what is the bottleneck for vaccine production?

Waiving patents may be the "feelgood" option but is it the most effective? A related question being: how easy is it for a pharma company (likely in a less developed country) to manufacture a covid vaccine without prior experience or input? For example, my understanding is that mRNA is state of the art tech.

We should work on the bottleneck first, whatever that may actually be.

These sounds are really close together to begin with, but in English, we don't actually use either of those sounds in word-initial position like the example recording, and so unless you speak a language that distinguishes these sounds in this context, they are going to be difficult to differentiate. Our word-initial voiceless stops (p, t, k) are actually aspirated stops, that is they are produced with a strong puff of air, while our word-initial voiced stops (b, d, g) are partially unvoiced and are actually somewhere between the t and d recordings.

Hold your hand in front of your mouth and feel the difference in pressure when you pronounce the first sound of the word "tune" versus the word "dune". This will let you feel that puff of "aspiration." Next, try putting your fingers over the front of your throat, (on your layrnx or where the Adam's apple is on men), and pronounce the sounds slowly. You may be able to feel the difference when your vocal cords start to vibrate as you say the "d" sound. In native English speakers this happens shortly after the pressure is released from your tongue, while in the English "t" sound, the vibration doesn't start until the vowel does. The "d" sound in the example from the chart has the vocal cord vibrations start immediately as the pressure is being released.

I suspect that Carnot is aiming to compete with liquid ring compressors https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid-ring_pump, which have much of the same advantages and disadvantages (near isothermal compression, water saturation). I'm guessing the article didn't mention this because every home compressor user wants a less noisy one and they get better propagation of the article around the internet that way. I considered building a centrifugal trompe a while ago for a project of mine, mainly because its really hard to find sub-horsepower liquid ring compressors, but frankly my experience with DIY centrifuges has been explosively scary.

You can run a pump like this with kerosene instead of water, in order to reduce the amount of saturated vapor that comes out with the compressed air, but that can also cause certain flammability concerns. I once had one of my homemade vacuum pumps blow kerosene all over me when a gas bubble entrained a lot of fluid. This is one of those reasons I don't smoke - it can kill you.
>The trouble right now is the extremely high cost of pulling carbon directly out of the air. Switzerland's Climeworks operates at 14 locations presently, with large factories processing ambient air and separating out the carbon, but its costs are currently somewhere in the range of US$600-1000 per ton, and its own future projections graph doesn't show this price dropping much below US$250/ton by 2035.

Just because we can, doesn't mean we should. In this case, just because we can build a technologically advanced solution to capture carbon doesn't mean we actually should be investing so many resources in that when we already have something that does the job incredibly well: Trees. They do one heck of a job capturing carbon and cost nothing.

Oh, sure, good old Soviet Union was the master of equality. Everyone was equally hungry and equally oppressed. Everyone, of course, except them: the politically connected, the unelected ruling class. They and their good friends, the secret police.

But the propaganda machine LOVED telling us how much better we had it in such an equalitarian society and what a nightmare was to live in the decadent West where the rich took advantage of the poor. We were literally waiting for capitalism to fall... while queueing in line for the allotted bread, flour and sugar rations.

They were the masters of ecology as well. Just read up what happened to the Aral Sea and, you know, the subject at hand, Chernobyl.
> it does not capture, for example, the difference between the English and Spanish t

Ah yeah, that's true. This is because most Spanish speakers pronounce /t/ as denti-alveolar (the tip of the tongue touches the back of the teeth) while most English speakers pronounce /t/ as purely alveolar (the tip of the tongue stops at the back of the alveolar ridge). I'm not sure why the IPA chart doesn't differentiate these specific phones, honestly. I imagine it's because although the sounds are very different cross-linguistically, maybe there aren't any languages where these phones are contrastive and thus they don't warrant separate glyphs in the IPA. Still, I'd love to see them!

That said, I think this is actually a relatively uncommon case in the IPA, because in addition to this simple chart the IPA also specifies a number of diacritics for more complex and precise transcriptions. These diacritics are often not used in broad transcriptions within a single language because most languages don't differentiate phones at this level in a contrastive manner. But in a narrow transcription, the diacritics are used as appropriate, generally to help the transcriber make a point about what is noteworthy in that transcription.

For instance, in English let's consider the "t" as you mention. We'll look at "tap" and "pat". The broad transcriptions for these words are /tæp/ and /pæt/, respectively. But the narrow transcriptions would be more like [tʰæp̚] and [pʰæt̚] (Note that broad transcriptions are phonemic and given between slashes, while narrow transcriptions are phonetic and given between brackets). What this shows is that, in English, syllable-initial voiceless stops are aspirated (indicated by the little "h"), while word-final voiceless stops have no audible release (indicated by the angle symbol, known as "corner"). So in addition to the main letter glyphs of IPA, there are tons of diacritics that help you write your transcriptions more precisely!
> PG argues that the crazy idea should be taken seriously predicated on the person having deep domain expertise

Depending on what you mean by "seriously". It's not that a crazy idea by a domain expert is certainly the future - but they might be right 1 out of 10 times, compared to a crazy idea by a nobody who might be right 1/1000. Given the potential large return of crazy ideas, it's worth the time to investigate in more detail.
I don't think you understand the difference between "likely" and "guaranteed".

> There are cases in which non-natives might have better grasp of orthography compared to natives (which might be what GP is objecting to).

Certainly. Neither me, nor the "GP" to which you refer ever said anything to the contrary.

> I'd be surprised if the vast majority of non native English speakers would fail to spell "read"

Really? Depending on how you pronounce it, if they even spelled an English word, it would be "red" or "reed". Are you trolling? You do realize most people who aren't native speakers of English don't speak any English, right?

This chart is awesome. I agree about understanding the theory. My best friend is Hungarian and I could not get the 'gy' sound in his name (Gyuri) right until I read up on just how it's articulated.

I disagree.

I've spent my own career in healthtech and at actual clinics.

While I won't dispute the fact that medical care abroad can be hit or miss, we are certainly not strangers to substandard doctors ourselves.

The difference between your experience and reality, is that the bad US doctors get put in corners where you have not been looking.

So, while your heuristic may be valid for someone living in a large metro area with tons of options, I would make a safe bet that it wouldn't be as useful in rural, underserved areas where the bad doctors end up.

Definitely. English is hardly even the worst offender there. I'm learning French, and as a non-native speaker I am utterly lost at anything close to conversational speed.

All previous evidence of life on Mars (which there have been a lot of claims about) have proven false. (Including similar claims about potential evidence based on rovers). That is what makes this an extraordinary claim.
It's more complex. Spanish phonology dictates a denti-alveolar pronunciation of /t/, while typical English phonology (USA, England, etc.) uses purely alveolar /t/. So in Spanish, the tip of the tongue hits the back of the teeth, which doesn't happen in English. This distinction is not rendered in the IPA glyphs or any diacritic that I'm aware of.

The onus is on the accuser to provide evidence of their claims. Management agreed that a list of funny names does not count.

Yet the employee continued to make unfalsifiable assertions such as:

"the silence in the background is what racism and white supremacy does...It doesn’t require active malice".

So denying an accusation of white supremacy is evidence of guilt, and remaining silent in the face of such an accusation is also evidence of guilt.
