There is a written rule: it's illegal. The Communications Act was amended in 1960 making it a federal offense for game shows to rig the outcome. Surreptitiously and intentionally removing the main prize on offer easily qualifies as just such a deceptive practice.

Unlawful behavior can be reasonably excluded from both the construction and the answers to logic puzzles, except when noted otherwise (or otherwise reasonable in context), which is why taking Monty hostage, busting through all three doors, jacking the car, snatching the goat, and driving off into the sunset, is not a reasonable response to the problem either, no matter how great TV it might make for.
One reason (one I find valid) is user experience. Digital Purchases made on iOS are extremely easy to deal with since they are all dealt through Apple. Especially the way subscriptions are done. It’s consistent and I always know where to go for refunds in the event that’s needed. I would also prefer not giving every company payment information if I can help it.
I don't see the problem. We are still doing this today. Pick a hot button topic that has some "consensus" then watch how outliers get treated. For example, COVID and climate change. I'm not saying people going completely against the narrative but professionals publicizing concerns or data that just doesn't fit the current narrative.

This is more of meritocracy run amok. I've got the fancy credentials which shows I'm brilliant, and I know it.

I don't think it's realistic to expect an RCT for this. Usually RCT setup for nutritional studies means "locking" people up and controlling every bite of food. However since the study in the article examines cancer risk (i.e. long-term outcome), doing an RCT with the idea of measuring who got cancer and who didn't would mean locking people up for years if not decades, which nobody would agree to.

that doesn't mean that the study is to be trusted 100%, just that it's not always appropriate to say "BS, need RCT", since sometimes studies like that aren't realistic
Ah, well, I've poorly portrayed the idea that Huberman shared on his podcast regarding neuroplasticity. I think we may even be in agreement. Lemme give this one more shot.

> Don't allow yourself to make mistakes. Take the challenging section, come up with a drill for just that section, and work that section until it is perfect at the same tempo where you can play the rest of the piece.

Work that section until it is perfect implies that when you start it's not perfect, i.e. mistakes are made. You can't just be perfect with everything all of the time. How would you even know where to start such as to "make no mistakes"? Finding perfection is the process I tried to describe above, you aim to play perfectly and get as close as possible. Nevertheless, errors are inevitable. Embrace their necessity for they are the stuff of learning.

> One drill is to play that scale run forwards and backwards, slowly, concentrating on perfect intonation, even timing, and percussive finger landings.

Reiterating, doing 50 reps of the above is bound to have some errors. You notice them, your brain notices them. If you only ever played things that you can currently do perfectly, or said differently, vacant of any mistakes, how would you ever get better or play new things which are bound to have things you can't already perfectly do?

I think what I failed to portray is that yes, don't "allow yourself to make mistakes." Care about trying to be perfect. You'll still make mistakes and that's a good thing. As you constantly improve and take on more and more challenging tasks, you're also baking in countless reps that are strengthening the "right" networks in the brain and pruning out the ones that aren't right.

I recommend checking out the podcast because I'm definitely not doing a good job of replicating his lessons / sharing of what the latest in neuroscientific literature shows.
Which produces libraries that are worthless to be consumed from Android without recompiling.

It says in the article that they're using "Google Prompt" which sends a push notification to your phone instead of SMS or TOTP. Regardless I would be surprised if Google's own 2FA didn't support TOTP since....you know...they own probably the most popular mobile TOTP app: Google Authenticator.
The articulation of this theory was interesting, until the last sentence.

Yes.

The probability that car is behind the door NOT selected by the host is 1/2 - because the host had only two choices which are equally good for him.

Probability that car is behind the door initially selected by the user is 1/3 because that is what happens when you randomly choose one out of three.

We have to think in terms of two different probabilities:
a) That user selects the correct door initially and
b) That door not selected by the host has the car.

But yes it is counter-intuitive. I can't quite point out which step in the flawed reasoning of no benefit from switching occurs. How do people come up with the incorrect result, and what are the flawed assumptions they make that cause them to arrive at the wrong answer? Where exactly does the logical error happen?
That's great but the TI graphing calculator monopoly for schools needs to stop. It's such a scam. This type of thing makes me want the robots to win. They couldn't possibly be worse than humans that let this kind of thing continue.

That’s obvious. If he reveals the car, he isn’t going to ask you if you want to switch. A goat is a goat. It doesn’t matter to you which goat you get.
If Messages E2E crypto were backdoored, then why would the FBI take an interest in iCloud backups?

I too wish iCloud backups were E2E encrypted, but that is a very different claim from "Apple assumes you desire privacy from everyone but Apple." Apple knows you want privacy from Apple; their privacy policy is quite explicit about what data Apple cannot see.

Try to login to PayPal,ebay, outlook gmail from mexico or Vietnam captcha every 10 minutes everywhere how this people can live like this
Your link doesn’t say anything like that. It talks about how Apple was planning to add e2ee encrypted backups of iMessages to iCloud but instead opted not to offer them as e2ee backups.

If you don’t enable backups for iMessages, they stay on your device.

Nowhere does it describe a back door that the FBI has access to.
The succinct reason is you're dependent upon them.

Over the years I've invested time in learning and implementing their API only to see them get acquired by a competitor that told me I had to use theirs. And early on I had one spamming with my domain names. And I had one shut down without notice.

Nowadays they can be expensive. You can spin up a $12 a month DO server that will handle quite a bit of mail.

For me, MAIB having a DNS server built-in was a big plus too. I have several domain names and email being sent by them or just email addresses I used for others to contact me, and alias addresses that all go to one email box, and some of my domain names are just for fun. For those I can create a quick email alias so it sends email to an existing account.

I use my DNS server IP address first on the list of dns servers in my network preferences on my Mac so when I make any changes to the sites I'm working on they show up instantly. I don't have to wait for them to propagate to find out I broke something.

So, it's really more than just email, but having that completely under my control has been a good thing. A pita sometimes, but still a good thing.
No, you aren’t upset =)
okay that would make sense, since I've had 2fa set up for it basically since they allowed it as an option

sucks to hear that you can't set it up that way initially anymore, if that's the case.
Man, I have a deep-seated fury directed at scammers who prey on the elderly. Someone close to me got hurt badly by them. I got back at one the other day:

I posted a keyboard for sale on a local classified website. Scammers love to hang out and look for fresh postings. They’ll contact you and feign interest. Then they will say that before they go any further, they’ll send you a code that you have to give them to “verify” that you’re legit. Guess what: the code comes from 22000 and ends with “… is your Google verification code”, usually in some foreign language. (My guess is either these chumps aren’t smart enough to change the locale on their browsers that they’re firing the password reset request off from, or they deliberately do this so the victim doesn’t get suspicious.)

Well, one of these scammers reached out to me. As soon as he sent the password reset request, he started spamming me asking me if I had got it. So impatient…

I told him that I did, and that to be eXtRa sEkuUr I send a screen recording to “prove” that I was legit.

Of course, the video was “Never Gonna Give You Up”

He got pretty mad after that. Poor scrub… I hope he finds a more honorable living or gets put in jail where he can’t hurt innocent people.

I've seen estimates of the total sci-hub/libgen size at anywhere from 20TB to 75+TB. Probably there are lots of dupes in there, and a dedicated dedup effort could reduce that size by a bit.

But taking the upper end: A WD Black 10 TB platter drive[0] costs $329, which means it would take only $2700 or so to have enough storage space to archive what's basically the sum total of human scientific knowledge.

There's quite a bit of variation in lobster based on where it comes from though. Idk about the other stuff but lobster and seafood in general has lots of location specific nuance. Maine lobster is pretty much standard though so not really a selling point. A deepwater north Carolina lobster would be something premium.

I've been learning guitar and ive been amazed at how bad lessons and education is for adult students. The apps i have used barely work and are extremely unambitious.

Yes i have seen Justin Guitar I'm not a huge fan. I dont want to have to wade through content to find the exercises that are relevant to me. I think Duolingo has an interesting approach to this, where has you re-visit concepts every day and it tells you what to practice to reduce decision fatigue.

I let this sit for a little while to think about it, and I realize that you're arguing with someone else using me as a proxy. I never gatekept anything, I never said anything about 'not jewish enough', this is all you projecting something on to my arguments because you don't like that someone else might know more than you about it because its more important in their lives.

and I say that as a non-practicing anything.

You're making a lot of assertions I never made, making claims that are totally bunk but not worth the time to engage in, and overall just accusing me of 'gatekeeping' because I acknowledge the reality that people who think shabbat is important know the most about shabbat.

You started this engagement looking to cast your unhappiness with someone else on to me, and this post is more of that. Differing levels of specialization and knowledge exist, and acknowledging that isn't gatekeeping - it's basic reality. You can deny it if you like - no skin off my nose. But it means I don't really care what you have to say - your knowledge of shabbat doesn't matter and you're not a specialist, and your claims that because you have some friends who studied for a while (as if that makes them equal to people who study it for their whole lives) makes this knowledge equal is also bunk. Your points about people asking their rabbis is again, not interesting, because the people asking their rabbis questions are generally about practical issues of shabbat or kashrut, not about studying the laws and knowing the background.

You're using my as some kind of target for your existing frustration with orthodox-reform problems, and I'm not either and don't care about your personal hangups.

Orthodox jews tend to know significantly more about jewish law. Get over it.
I know that Linus hates unit tests, but these kinds of scenarios are perfect for regression tests. The investigation of the issue took so long, that you'd really want to spend those extra few hours writing the test to save yourself investigation in the future.

It's actually fun to entertain the possibility. How would you exploit this? It could be just replaced cryptographic constants in key papers...

Classically trained pianist here (since 7 years old), I like the article's advice.

> Use the correct fingering, dynamics, articulation, etc. from the very beginning; you are never going to get around to “fixing” it later.

When I was an impatient kid my piano teachers would keep insisting I play sections slow on a first pass, which annoyed me (it was like reading a book out loud slowly), but it was only until many years later when I played pieces like Un Sospiro[0] which are intractable if you do not start practicing at something like 16 times slower than performance tempo. If you start out correctly, the rest will follow, and IME, sight reading greatly improves as well.

> [...] you may reach a point where you can’t play any faster, no matter how hard you try. What is likely happening is that the hand motions you are using—which come naturally at the slower tempo you started with—simply will not work at such high speeds.

This is completely true, for instance, in ragtime, the left hand makes big, quick jumps and there is often no time to look at where it will land (which one likely does when playing slowly), so repeating a bar over and over again to incrementally refine your distance estimate is crucial.

This applies to things like typing on a keyboard as well, if you focus on correct finger placement (and correct use of the 4th and 5th fingers), your WPM might take a hit for a few days or a week, but in the long term it really helps.

I really hate the gratuitous adjective issue too but the ones you chose I wouldn't call inherently pretentious, except that they are exaggerations that don't add much (or any) value. There really is pretentious gibberish in that menu.

Maine (well New England) lobsters are different from langoustines which are often referred to as lobsters in English. Though personally when eating the tail I can't tell the difference. Perhaps I'm a philistine and some can. This is up there with the "Spanish" capers..I know you can tell the difference.

"French Laundry garden" cabbage..."grown in our garden" is good enough for me. "Sacramento Delta asparagus" ... not as good as Half Moon Bay? "local" would be fine.

A "King Richard" leeks actually is a specific breed of leek. Oh but wait, it's the plain old leek you'd find in any grocery store. Sure glad they let me know.

For true prevention let's switch to the nouns, shall we? It's OK to use a foreign word that has no, or only a distant, English relative. But "Streusel" is called "strudel" in English. The Saboyon doesn't exist in English but the French word is for a sweet dessert which I really doubt is used in an oyster dish. etc.

With all those adjectives someone should do a "truth in advertising" sting on those restaurants. It'd make great TV
