I disagree.

Vale Tudo came before MMA and had the most effective value for actual combat situations.

- No rounds

- No hand wraps and gloves

- No resets to standing for “non-action”

- Attacks to prone opponents

The problem is that there’s a big gap between “sports martial arts” rules and “self defense.”

Sport BJJ is just as bad as karate for self-defense because there’s lot of new movements that just don’t make sense when you’re attacked at a frat house or walking home late.

Old school BJJ grappling (Carlson Gracie) with a focus on self defense is literally the best thing for smaller people, women & children because there’s a focus on:

- minimizing damage to yourself

- escaping and reversing compromising positions

- having MULTIPLE options to either kill, break a bone or put your attacker to sleep

- (if needed) striking with elbows and knees.

Do we have any sense of the cost to young children who presumably won't see as much face-mouth signalling during the crucial developmental phase of their brain?

How do you teach a kid to read with a mask?!

Man I really dislike the way he comes across. He acts like anyone who doesn't want his lifestyle is just "keeping up with the joneses" and "peacocking" and is just trying to impress other people, whereas he is enlightened and doesn't need that external validation.

That is so smug and self-important. He clearly has social needs, he just feels them differently. And also, not everyone who wants to work and have wealth is just doing it to keep up with others.

I like having some wealth because it makes a lot of things easier. I like the stuff I buy, for myself, for its intrinsic value. A lot of things I spend money on I never even show anyone else. I don't post on social media or go on social media, but I still like a nice house and some toys.
About 20 years ago, my first synthesiser was a Kawai K5000S. I didn’t really know anything about it but was marvelled by the sounds it produced. Unbeknownst to me I was discovering additive synthesis through it.

Thank you for your comment, it brought back wonderful memories.
Thanks for the link. It is a very curious situation where a judge would fear a prosecutor. That does suggest a power imbalance. I feel your link also supports the point I was making though and the main difference between Japan and the US is that US makes heavy uses of plea bargains vs Japan's tendency to only ever bring cases they feel have a high probability of a successful conviction.
I think theres a fallacy that US education is just universally debut induced indentured servitude level expensive.

Fancy schools, and popular out of state universities are expensive.
So is paying for room&board in NYC & Boston because you "had to go to school there".
You do not need to go to somewhere costing $75k/year and pay full sticker price.

There are plenty of community colleges, in-state (dorm or commute), etc that you can match your aptitude, parental savings and future income prospects towards.

My parents did well enough that I wasn't going to get any need based money, and I was like top 5% of my HS class.. but I didn't stretch and apply to Ivys, MITs, etc. My wife came from a similar background and was actually #1 in her class but likewise took a similar path.

I applied to ~5 good state unis & competitive but not ultra selective engineering institutes, where I either was going to get favorable in-state tuition or merit based scholarship money to take me well below sticker price.

I always worked during high school so I had an idea of income & savings. I also had a concept of how much my loans were going to cost me as I started paying interest payments after my first year, and saw how it stacked up over time.

My dad went to a technical school for an associates degree first because he thought he'd end up being drafted so why bother, and then ended up living at home and working while getting his bachelors.

Some of this is education as high end brand consumerism.
I've been a huge fan of the Microsoft Sculpt for years. Its the only keyboard that doesn't hurt my wrists/hands hurt. Just my personal preference.

I tried the Moonlander for a bit, but could never get over the learning curve (it is very very steep). It's build quality is fantastic, is amazingly customizable, but the shape didn't work with my brain/muscle memory.

I went back to the Sculpt. If they ever decide to discontinue them I guess I'll need to stock up.
Sure, because we know that everything else is accurately and precisely accounted for.
Have you looked into Kinesis Advantage?
California domestic partnerships included hospital visitation rights from 1999.[1] And most marriage rights from 2005.[2] They weren't fully equal. And separate but equal is nonsense anyway. But they came before Proposition 8.

Not much. Japan couldn't possibly have kept Hawaii past the middle of the war.

There is a nice video somewhere on YouTube that shows the production of US naval ships vs Japanese naval ships in scaled time.

It is shocking the amount of ships that that US was producing starting near the middle of the war. A new destroyer or cruiser rolled out every couple of days. Japan wasn't even close.

I imagine that staffing the ships at some point was going to become a problem.
one political party likes to go on TV and talk about "predatory trade schools"

I don’t think I’ve ever heard this sentiment from anyone, regardless of political affiliation. The only criticism I’ve ever heard about trade school is that the jobs can be tough on your body as you get into your 50’s and 60’s.
Now, without doubt. If you allow them to take on debt then you lessen the need for industry to create onboarding positions.
The best setup is an office where you set it up a bit like a gym. You have your basic standing desk, but also various weights and resistance bands and a pull-up bar close by. As you think about solving problems or throughout the day, you can play around with random exercises to keep your conscious mind occupied so your subconscious can focus better.
1) It's applicable for any kind of ... thing ... which lets you send a message faster than the speed of light. It doesn't matter if you build this kind of drive into a USPS truck, or if it's a special closet in an unused bedroom, or a carrier pigeon that flies really fast, or a garden gnome that you hand an envelope to and he's just not there when you go to look for him until he then pops up and says "speedy delivery!" and hands you an envelope from yourself from the future.

2) It's an unsolved problem because it's built on a foundation which is also an unsolved problem -- namely faster than light travel/communication. If -- if -- we solve the problem that it's built on, all indications are that sending a message to your past will become possible.

That being said, I expect that it's impossible because I expect that FTL travel/communication is impossible.
Students come from an environment in which everyone is exclusively telling them "you're so special and unique" until they graduate from college and real life yells "lol get the fuck out of my face"
I'm not really thrilled with that definition or line of thinking because it leads to a horrible habit that annoys me no end. The habit of using the sending of a single line of text in lieu of a "full stop" (period). This leads to thirty dingdingding notifications as the person sending seems to be incapable of putting a complete stream of thought into a proper paragraph with sentences in a single message. Just type out a complete thought before hitting "Send", please. I don't really want thirty related individual sentences arriving one after another separately.
> Depending on your perceived relationship with the poster you may feel something yourself.

Exactly. And unless you have a bias toward agreement, or you are already spun up like the poster, a stranger's dissonant communication style is more likely to be alienating than persuasive.

And re: knowing one's audience, the consensus position seems to be that I do not, here and now. So I concede the issue, in this context at least! Alas. :)
Some people's lives don't turn to shit - some people are born with lives that are shit from day one. Once they figure that out, they will soon realize that not everyone's life is shit. And that escaping might just something more than a fantasy. One result: science fiction. Another is delinquency.
Exactly. The joke was our department also paired us with a faculty advisor. When I met with him and mentioned my intended career track, his immediate response was to go talk to the career center. That was it, he was done with me.
He runs a slave state - there's no being good, except by comparison to other slavers.
I'm working on agri-forestry and biochar reactors on a hobby farm.

Hybrid poplars mature within a decade, and a biochar reactor is a net-energy producing reaction that produces soil improving char as a byproduct.

It won't save the world on it's own, but trees can be leveraged in powerful ways.
The apprenticeship model is how Hollywood still operates, basically (add in outrageous amounts of luck). Columbia, and a lot of other film schools, are just exorbitantly expensive trade schools but modelled on MFA writing programs, and networking programs. Everyone that I know who is involved in the industry, and actually making a living, just started working in industry instead of pursuing grad school.
Agree, so my best choice is start from value stream. Culture is not specific.
What you're describing is ethical and different.
You may be unlikely to accept the offer but you will still consider it.
Also have a Moonlander. I found it helpful to set a color scheme for my upper layers, matching the corresponding activation keys in the base layer (e.g., my function key layer is yellow). I also color coded special things like modifiers, whitespace keys.
>Sly injection of American politics by the above poster

Why just list those three Senators when 29 Democrats voted YEA? Sly injection indeed.
From the leaked diplomatic cables.

“Donors in Saudi Arabia constitute the most significant source of funding to Sunni terrorist groups worldwide,”

“More needs to be done since Saudi Arabia remains a critical financial support base for al-Qaeda, the Taliban, LeT, and other terrorist groups, including Hamas, which probably raise millions of dollars annually from Saudi sources.”

It's fertile ground for raising money to support terrorism not because a few bad apples support but because it enjoys broad support. Although data is somewhat scarce a survey in 2003 found that 53% supported Bin Laden for example.

https://icct.nl/app/uploads/2017/02/ICCT-Schmid-Muslim-Opini... Page 18

Which is probably why for example US made weapons have found their way via Saudi Arabia to al-Qaeda and ISIS linked groups.

Basically the bad apples are in fact somewhere between a majority and a near majority and they control the country.
Allowing easy bankruptcy would clean it up very fast. That’s how it was prior to 2005.
Saudi Arabia will not exist anything like it’s current form within 20 years.

Potentially news to those who recently got into coding/hacking. Ghidra was leaked in '17 and made headline news. Then officially released by the NSA in '19.
Let's look at the top result for google for "film and media studies major salary".

- Job Growth (8% writers & authors, 12% producers and directors, 5% advertising and promotions managers)

- Average Salary ($73k writers and authors, 89k producers, 133k advertising and promotion managers)

Sounds pretty good right? the part that's missing is that the placement rate of "Film and Media majors" into these fields.
I guess it would be impossible to actually measure.

Heat could also increase biomass since there would be a longer growing season and higher latitudes opening up.

But like you say, it’s a trade off so hard to predict.

Not doubting that it happens, but who does this?
Every student would with good cause declare bankruptcy immediately upon graduation, because they have debt and no assets and no job. I get where you're coming from, but this is not a workable solution.
I measure distances in the time it takes light to traverse them, don't you?
Form Recognizer's custom forms feature requires no more than 5 forms to get a reasonable model in most cases. The forms should be of the same layout though. For example, 1040, W8, W9, etc. or any custom form with the same content and layout. Disclaimer: I am a PM in the Form Recognizer team. Happy to answer questions.

You know, aside from the challenge of separating the carbon from other useful stuff in the atmosphere, like oxygen before you start sucking ... you'd need to suck those particles out incredibly far to escape earth's gravity. Easier to suck it just far enough to deposit the co2 on the moon and start creating an atmosphere there. But that would be a heck of a powerful vacuum.
People would criticize Pocket less if it lived up to Mozilla's principles of privacy and open source. Or if Mozilla hadn't tried to conceal it was about revenue.

The one about SLP making only 60k I truly do not understand. My daughter has speech problems and is doing 5 hours/wk of speech therapy with SLP for $180/hour (average rate for area) - just from us she is making almost 40k/year. All good SLPs are booked solid 2-3 months into the future and most do not even take new clients.

Global warming is a real thing but there are no plausible scenarios where it will affect quality of life of current 20 year olds in US in a meaningful way in their lifetime.

It's extremely hard to determine cause but 100s of people just died in the heatwave in Oregon, Washington and Canada. Here in California, unbearalbe heat and noxious smoke seem like they'll be with us a third of the years (it's started now where I am and went to October last year). Doyle, Ca was destroyed a couple days ago. It's a pretty small place I hear and towns destroyed last year were also are small.

All this may be coincidence but it's coincidence that makes people think (well, the jet stream slowing is what creates extreme heat and cold aside from average temperature increase, so well, telling people "no problem isn't credible to me, an oldster even less likely to see further futures).
Where? And what makes you think this isn't already happening?

I mean, in Canada when they raze a patch of forest they already immediately replant it.

The areas that aren't forested are so because they're being used for agriculture.
I'm working on something that just generates descriptions for stuff. e.g. a cheeseburger or potato:

A cheeseburger is a delicious food enjoyed by many people. It consists of a bun, cheese, and meat. The meat is typically beef, but can be turkey, chicken, or other meats. To make the burger juicier, some people may add lettuce, tomato, or onion.

The center of the potato is flat and dry. The skin of the potato is thin and dry as well, cracking and peeling in some places. The surface is dirty and there are some dark spots on it. There are two small sprouts growing out of the bottom of the potato.

Well technically I literally am paying for it via OpenAI's API, but the purpose is to get descriptions.
No, its difficult to find studies on something which is literally textbook knowledge.

And nice whataboutism to switch the topic to a vaccine incident from the 1950s, combined with a brand new account, I'm pretty sure I'm arguing with a bot. Have a nice life.
The European Parliament has correctly identified their great enemy: The ability of the grass roots to whisper in each others' ears privately, cheaply and at scale. Free speech, privacy and free association is indeed a threat -- or at least a speed bump -- on the path to the dominance of central authority. The justification will evolve. Terrorism, anti-vaxxers, child abuse, fascism, the outrage of the moment. What doesn't change is the consistent pressure to suppress private communication and coordination, in service to the leviathan.
I bet the developer would be glad to hear this. That's one of the optimistic earlier visions of computers.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'd be happy doing that for quite some time. I guess it might get old after a while, though, which is why I would probably do a semi-retirement bit for a while.

> Instead of relying on the system to provide security, we're relying on Apple, Google and Microsoft to decide what we can run, or can't run

This is highly misleading. System-level hardening is complementary to cryptographic trust, not a replacement forit. Hardening features do their best to prevent arbitrary malicious processes from controlling the system, and the certificate systems make it possible to revoke the ability of specific known-malicious authors to distribute software. In macOS, you can look at the entitlements system, sandboxing, and system integrity protection for examples of hardening.

Not to mention, at least on macOS and Windows, all the certificate verification features can be turned off.
Argentina did. Several times I think. It actually turned into an interesting legal issue (if you find the technicalities of these things interesting, at least) because of the language used in the settlement.

I have the Fenix 5 so by no means the same, but it also seems like a weird "feature" to change between versions. Are you sure this isn't your headphones? I reconnect at the same volume I left it at when I join.

Agreed the UX on the watch itself to adjust is a pain, thankfully the headphones I have are adjustable to it's quicker to do it there when I need to.

Switching to the new provider was a bad idea, because it is not that hard to find competent civil engineers who could tell you that rather than being a mysterious unquantifiable risk, putting the new chemical in the lead pipes would cause a problem. "Every decision that went badly was a good decision if it seemed good at the time," only holds water when it's not easy to figure out in advance what's going to happen. After all, to a sufficiently ignorant person, 50% of all decisions seem better than average.
My personal favorite is the Mac OS volume widget on the volume status icon drop down. It somehow changes for two finger drag on the touchpad, but ignores the scroll wheel.

Well done Apple.
I hear you, but I'd wager the size differences are actually pretty minor. Absolute worst case you have 2X the CSS and HTML but much will be redundant so it will probably compress well with gzip.
A lot of humanities disciplines in grad school are quite explicit about preparing students for one thing: scholarship. The end goal is tenure-track research positions. They're not industry focused at all, though that is changing in recent years with the adjunct crisis really starting to hit quite a high note.

I will say though, that I know a lot of people with MAs in Art History who work in museums, galleries, art dealers and markets, conservation and restoration projects. The experience in research and scholarship is useful for museums and other art institutions. I imagine every modern curator has a grad degree in art or art history.
This "leak" is also mostly just "confirming" popular external speculation and doesn't really have anything original, which is pretty suspicious.

The one concrete thing claim it contains is that they're trying to get the next WoW expansion out in early 2022, which is very unlikely even as a goal. The normal length of a WoW content patch is 5-6 months and going shorter than that causes problems for the more casual raiders who need that long to beat each raid. 9.1 just came out and 9.2 is happening, so the earliest they'd even want to release the expansion for proper pacing would be May 2022.
So what’s the main sell? I see their reviewer using two hands to type in it. I thought only needing one hand to type might be the benefit.
> This is setting a precedent where instead of treating disease now, we will preemptively vaccinate

That has been the general approach for over a century, yes, particularly for diseases without effective treatments.

> But will all these new vaccinations cause a virus to adapt to be more viral, similarly to how antibiotics has the potential to make bacteria resistant?

No particular reason to think so, and it hasn’t happened before. We don’t have super-smallpox, say.
The issue is that then you gatekeep higher education to the wealthy. What's more likely? Harvard reducing tuition because underprivileged kids aren't able to attend and can't get loans. Or Harvard keeping the same tuition and only admitting the wealthy people that are able to pay it (of which there are plenty).
The RINOs won’t save us, and there are a few good Dems (Tulsi). The bullshit doesn’t fall along party lines.
