This.

My friends 16-year-old daughter posts photos from a completely different reality if you didn't know her personally.

She posts glamour shots of her and her friends doing all the silly Instagram model stuff you see, in locations like beaches, in front of Disneyland (She just took a picture in front of it, it wasn't even OPEN) etc. And somehow she always looks thin.

The reality is, her family was pretty hard hit financially by COVID-- and that she's a kinda dumpy teenager whose flunking out of High school. Literally a D and F student.

But she has 700 followers on instagram.

EDIT: I just remembered I have a friend whose a minor fitness celebrity and its the same thing with him. He posts photos of him doing all this wonderful stuff, driving an expensive car (which I know is a rental). I help him with his website sometimes and he questions me about his hosting costs (less than $200/yr) and asks if its necessary it cost that much. So he can't really have much money or glamour in his life.
How is this $179? That’s $180 for a non-color screen and what? A crank? You obviously have to be a crank to buy this. What a laugh.
Oumuamua wasn't just falling, is the interesting thing about it. For Voyager probes I guess one could argue are falling most of the time, but specifically on this topic, comets are not always only acted upon by environmental forces.

Hmm actually isn't that characteristic of a comet, it being icey and having a "tail" of exhaust gas? But then Oumuamua's acceleration could iirc not be explained by that exhaust, so it's even more than just that.

Of course that doesn't make it a space ship, it (presumably) lacks controls for one, but it does mean that comets are by definition not falling, and specifically the objects this project will be looking for might be doing even more than just venting under influence of heat.
As noted in the blog post of this new release, K-9 is looking for more funding. Earlier this year a call for donations (https://k9mail.app/2021/02/14/K-9-Mail-is-looking-for-fundin...) was quite successful, but the goal of $1000 per week is not yet met. It is currently at $770, so let's get it to $1000!
This paper is not about machine learning. "Training" has nothing to do with the approach. External cameras are used because this paper is about trajectory generation and not about vision.

The paper presents an approach of generating a time-optimal trajectory through waypoints given physical limitations of the underactuated system. This is interesting and novel, and as demonstrated works very well. The group from which they come also work a lot with high-speed machine vision, and one of the next research steps will be combining this trajectory generation algorithm with onboard computer vision.
I assumed they meant that they dug a hole in the river to create a tunnel/pipe that conveys the water out of the river and into their irrigation system.
Anecdotally, focusing on school and "your future" 24/7 is a great way to end up alone, sad, and directionless in some apartment later in life.

Or in a ditch somewhere, when the pressure gets too much.
I’m not sure it happens naturally at this point. It requires conscious action. I recently moved back to my suburban childhood city, and under the mayor’s directive over the last 10 years, they’ve been attempting to overhaul the town from a truly stereotypical American suburb of big box stores, chain restaurants, and completely unwalkable neighborhoods, to something denser and less car centric.

They’ve encouraged a lot of development to the “downtown” area, which used to be basically town hall and the library, to a place with a large central park/amphitheater with biweekly free concerts, a farmers market, and town festivals, lots of mixed use apartment/retail/business buildings, extensive bike/walking paths, etc. They’ve torn up an old train rail that was in disrepair that cut through the city and turned it into a pedestrian nature trail that connects the northern and southern parts of the city to the downtown core. They’ve partnered with private enterprise to develop a “test kitchen” that acts as a sort of incubator for chefs before they establish their new restaurant to encourage more varied and unique culinary experiences. They’ve developed an “IoT” lab to act as an incubator to attract tech startups to the area, as well as a makerspace/trade hub to connect employers and people seeking training in the trades. They’ve been working with developers to buy up old single family homes in the downtown area to develop into denser townhome and apartment complexes. They’ve done a lot of this over the complaints of the usual loud minority who screech about any and all change.

It isn’t all perfect, and there’s much to be done, and part of it was enabled due to the fact that it’s a relatively wealthy suburb, but it’s blown me away how they’ve taken what used to be the epitome of an American suburb and turned it into a city in track for something more sustainable. I could never have walked anywhere growing up, but since moving back, I’ve bought a bike and am strongly considering selling my second vehicle due to lack of use. But the point is that it’s all been active development by the mayor and the city council, at times over fierce objections by others.
Perhaps, this could be used in simulation training to bring up the level of the top pilots. It could illuminate where they are losing time to an ideal pass.
A LVT doesn't have to be based on the land area. A plot with more frontage on a busy main street will be more valuable and hence taxed more.

I think you’re probably right about the performance (though I did typo ‘2021’ instead of ‘2020’, so the specific model you mention wasn’t available at the time). I do remember feeling very surprised that contemporary mid-range phones seemed to have worse benchmarks on PassMark, but my old phone model (Galaxy S5) seems to be conspicuously absent as I look again, so I wonder if there was a data issue. It’s also possible that I misread something, or that the devices I was looking at weren’t representative of the best of the mid-range market at the time due to carrier restrictions and essential-to-me features (e.g. headphone jack) that have been getting cut from newer phones.

In any case, I regret bringing this specific point up, both because I try not to say things which are inaccurate, but also because I feel like it has distracted from the main point: my old phone did everything that most people do on their phones (phone calls, chats, video streaming, music streaming, web browsing, light gaming) with no performance/memory/storage problems, had a (subjectively) better feature set than many more recent models, and the only reason I had to buy a new one anyway was because the manufacturer made it impossible to keep the software up-to-date.
I've been meaning to look into non-systemd distros -- assuming you're putting Slackware and Void up as examples of that -- how do things like Docker or others that seem to require systemd cope?

It's hard for me to compare precisely, especially since the Intrinsic videos are sped up

Here's a longer version in a larger size, either not sped up or not sped up so much.[1] It's using a simple strategy of approaching the socket at an slightly off angle and then twisting into alignment.

That's a standard strategy. Compare this video of assembling Lego blocks with an industrial robot. Note the little twist moves.[2]

Did the machine learning come up with that, or was it preprogrammed? Did ML re-invent remote center compliance? That would be progress.

Rod Brooks went down this road with Rethink Robotics. They went bust.

You can certainly do what they're showing. It's making a profit on it that's hard.

Yes although I inherited something that did this once for no good reason and it made me scratch my head for several hours before I understood it properly. YMMV on that.
The problem is that these neighborhoods were build when the global population was half the size it is now and spending behavior was way different then it is now.

It is no longer profitable to have a shoe repair shop in the neighborhood. Nobody repairs shoes, everyone buys new online. You cannot get these old times back.

The solution?
Look at the Asian urbs. High rise apartment buildings with the first 1 or 2 floors shops. The dense population will make these shops attractive again because dense population causes high demand for convenience-shops. The shops in turn will make the neighborhood attractive for city dwellers. The shops also cause the streets never be empty so crime / vandalism drops. Then it attracts tourists and creates jobs.

Now move all the parking and roads underground and make all the roof tops green public parks and voila!
But, what do we do instead? We yank car-oriented flat suburbs and shopping malls all over the place. Those will be the trash-towns of tomorrow.
No, I didn't. Not sure this is possible in the Netherlands. I had an hour long Teams call for them to know what data they could request. After the formal request came in it took a good part of the day to get everything they requested. Received some follow up requests so probably a full day "lost". If nothing else it was a good test of the backup system.
Assuming they are wrong about their reasons for refusing the vax. Otherwise the reverse.

> The text preemptively claims that people will reject it because they are too politically correct.

Yeah, so? You say that as if the fact that a lot of people did exactly that for exactly that reason somehow shows some flaw with the text.
No, the argument is indeed vague. There are plenty of situations where intervening in the market actually increases efficiency - for example, patents, state monopolies on utilities, minimum wages, etc...

Simply pointing to "supply and demand" and operating by maximalist principle is a vague argument. You have to actually engage with the fact that housing can never be an ideal markets and that inelasticities are indeed great.

Again, if you think that these regulations are both more effective and exclusive to rent control, you can find empirical evidence.

I'm not being a pure empiricist. A basic theory made an empirical prediction - that rent control would decrease supply - and the theory is wrong. You can't then use the same theory that made an already incorrect prediction to make a second prediction that is this time almost impossible to evaluate empirically. Find another theory and make an original prediction, without ex-post-facto retconning, and we can judge that theory on the merits.

As it is, we already know that simple neoclassical market theory does not apply to markets with significant price in-elasticity and friction, and the housing market is and will always be like that.

It's theory that is often wrong, that is wrong here again, you can't rely on it over the empirical evidence by retconning your predictions after the fact. That's just bad science. In another field that would get you laughed out of the room.
If I understand you correctly, you claim that electromagnetism follows immediately from quantum mechanics because Born's rule exhibits a U(1) symmetry? That doesn't seem right to me.
You are absolutely right.

Number 2 is hard to fix as lobbyists and fast food companies have a lot of influence.

But it is concerning that of US women from age 20 and up, 60% or more are considered overweight.

A woman 50 years old has an average weight of 80 kg, using the Miller ideal weight formula and a height of 170 cm, the weight should be 62.5 kg.

There should be some kind of reward or benefit for those that can keep to the ideal weight for a longer period of say 1 year.
I only specifically talked about Canadian police forces which are indeed very similar to American police forces. They may have a bit more training/education but for the most part operationally they are pretty similar.

But again, if you don't have anything of substance to say please just stop replying. All you're doing is trying to dismiss what I have stated while providing nothing to the conversation. It's unproductive and useless. Further comments and I will be flagging it.
not OP but the alternative strategy is to start conservatively and then relax restrictions rather than pivoting between guidelines.

So in this case I think a more clearer solution would have been to be maximally cautious in the beginning, and then only when you're certain loosen what vaccines to apply when. The same way the British handed lockdowns. They started strict, only relaxed measures slowly, and made clear they won't reimpose stronger measures once lifted.

This is understandable to people because there is reassurance and clarity about how to proceed. Which is important because everything else destroys confidence.
Javascript. That's all I can say.
Yes. For that I've been thinking of using VeraCrypt's hidden volumes. A volume inside another volume where an adversary cannot see their boundaries, which could allow some plausible deniability for passwords. I guess.

You're talking about what promotes the welfare of society, fundamentally a normative question hinging on our conception of "welfare", while I was talking about what the patterns of world trade are and will be in the future, and what causes affect them, a factual question. I did not intend to deprecate the importance of skilled factory jobs to the welfare of society. In fact, my comment didn't touch on normative questions at all.

I think that, in order to formulate a strategy to promote some set of objectives, as you are trying to do, you must first have a correct factual understanding of the causal relations of cause and effect that relate to those objectives. Whatever strategy you formulate will only have a tendency to promote your objectives, whatever they are, to the extent that your factual understanding of the causal structure of the system you are trying to affect is correct.
Therefore, factual analysis of the relevant causal structure is epistemologically prior to any such normative analysis of strategies.

If your factual understanding is sufficiently incorrect, as in Tales of the Black Freighter, the strategy you formulate can easily have the opposite effect of what you intend. This is especially likely if your factual beliefs are being manipulated by other players whose objectives do not align with your own; this article seems to be an attempt at such manipulation.

> How do you think the world would evolve in the mid-term: economy, globalization and debt; state of the pandemic with vaccines and variants, mass surveillance and social tensions, etc.

The only changes I see coming in the next 6 to 12 months in the U.S. are:

1. A very slight increase in the cost of tangible goods (grocery store JIT food [produce, dairy, and meat], gasoline/diesel, tech-based devices, and branded alcohol)

2. A similarly small increase in subscription and per-unit fees for internet-based services

3. Significantly more political and media focus on a common enemy to accommodate humanity's innate desire for conflict (currently I assume "white supremacy" as the boogeyman will continue)

4. A significant increase in usury rates across all spectra

5. At least one violent reaction to forced acceptance of non-heterosexuality (see also #3)

6. A slight, non-violent but socially widespread backlash against local government overreach, leading to increased centralization of legislative and/or judicial control

7. At least one more coronavirus strain/variant that will have very little scientific evidence for its difference but extremely vehement and vocal proponents both for and against any actions related to it, which may tie into #1, #3, #4, and definitely into #6
Perhaps, but the desired effect (reduced suicides) was clearly visible during the lockdown. SOMETHING(S) changed that helped more of our children stick around for at least a little bit longer. So what?

Whatever the cause, I'm willing to forgo scientific correctness to say what was obvious before the pandemic: OUR SCHOOL SYSTEMS ARE TERRIBLE FOR YOUR HEALTH
I think it does work out or in your favor even if you don’t have kids by having a functioning society and a stable generation after yours to care for you as you age. Who do you think your doctor will be when you’re old? Today’s kids.
The source is a summary of the position of the 9 major political parties on further oil exploration. There are dozens of parties here, yes, but the 9 listed there account for about 92% of the population. They are all the ones that have representation in parliament at the moment.

The views of the parties express anywhere from complete support to complete opposition to further drilling, with some compromise positions as well. If you compare that with
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_parties_in_N... how much each party has representation in parliament at the moment, you will see that a large swath of the population is opposed to it.

However, because of the way that the parliament system works here, this issue is not correctly represented in current policy.
There are places with a policy of asking everyone for ID -- I know because they're the only places where I've been asked for ID.

Of course, for both the knife and the alcohol regulations, the law is around age. ID is merely the mechanism that everyone uses to validate age, as it's settled practice that doing so will prove the ID card holder's age sufficiently for the purpose of the legislation.

Here on this website, we spend an awful lot of time discussing how one person remote working on a team who are in-person can easily lead to being forgotten. This is similar. When somebody is putting an event together and goes through their contact list on FB, you not being there puts you at a small disadvantage. If you're socially awkward in-person, it can really set you back.

It may still hold some latent respect from the pre-david kelly days but it has fully transitioned to being an rt-like government mouthpiece.

It's actually done this way.
Back in 2014 there were basically two ways to get the public certs.
Donwload them from each government site individually or use the only PKI infrastructure available for this task which was pretty expensive and did not have all certs either.
