You should do research into "logical fallacy" and "intellectual dishonesty" before commenting on the internet. I never said I rejected those medical studies, I am saying the review of those studies, is, in itself, difficult to refute without a lot of time and domain knowledge. That's true of any complex topic.

You can turn work into heat with friction or turbulence. You don't need electrical thingamajigs. But even "small" amounts of heat involve huge amounts of energy. If I haven't just made a mistake, it takes 40 MJ to raise a bathtub full of water from room temperature to bathwater temperature.

Better to use trees and wood for heat: The original solar power system.
Except that imagine the issue is non-safety related and the regulator which happens to be related to the Airline company grounded them on requests of the Airline during low traffic times to put more pressure on the manufacturer and maybe profit from higher damage payments.... (Purely speculative to give a point for the next argument.)

I.e. we can't say if the regulator acted correct with safety concern or corrupt until we know what is actually going one. Just because something seems to be "proper safety orientated acting" on the first sight doesn't mean it is and neither mean it's not corrupt...

I think that a masters degree always helped with an H1B visa. In addition, credentialism, as far as am aware has been proposed for the Green Card process and it is a point based system IIRC. In that case I think a masters degree would improve your standing*. I'm not clear how the Trump administration changed things in relation to visas and immigration so I'd also like to know where things stand now especially since perhaps the Biden administration may have rolled back or made additional tweaks.

An notable factor in the merit based system is that it discriminates against middle aged or older.

* A US based degree would be preferred according to the proposal.

> I wonder if serfs really had it better. They still had no freedom to move, and in the early Middle Ages there was no appeal granted to serfs under a tyrannical lord.

In Poland, peasants actually were freer in the Middle Ages then they were in later centuries. Serfdom became more of a thing with the rise of the wealthy landed magnates whose greed increasingly bound the peasants to production. Poland was, among other things, the breadbasket of Europe, and in the preindustrial era, agriculture was a major source of wealth, and so among its exports to Western Europe, grain was a major source of revenue. The nobility in Poland was quite large (around 10%, as opposed to the ~2% in a country like France), but over time, a part of that nobility managed to become fabulously wealthy and maintained private armies that I believe could rival the army of the Polish Crown in size, and owned hundreds of villages, towns, and even cities. Eventually, Poland's last king, Stanislaus II Augustus, placed the peasants under the protection of the State.

Not only are you numbers unsound, but your position is only true if you accept the false dichotomy of “vaccines or nothing”. Prophylaxis options are available, but they’re out of patent, so they’re ignored and torpedoed by your holy CDC and WHO high priests who live in the pockets of big pharma.

This is an accurate representation of the situation.

I think a lot of city dwellers fail to realise not everyone is attracted to urban life and some people actively disdain it. I really don’t like being in built up areas for more than a few days, if I lived in one I’d be a miserable alcoholic within a month. If you listened to half the people in discussions like this they’d pile us all into Warhammer 40k style arcologies!

Urban life genuinely holds no appeal at all for me, I’m just not wired for it. I know this isn’t true for everyone or even the majority but it is for a lot of people, I’d honestly rather emigrate to a foreign country with all the stress and work that entails than live in a city even for a year. My dream house would be an old stone cottage somewhere overlooking the sea with no light pollution and the nearest neighbour at least half a mile away! It’s not that I’m antisocial, it’s just that cities are sensory overload par excellence and I just feel really uncomfortable after a while of that. I’m social enough, but I prefer to have the choice to keep the world at arm’s length if necessary.

I don't see a lack of control on Twitter. The student wasn't talking to the professor, and there is nothing inappropriate about their Twitter comments as reported, beyond the cartoon which IIRC the advisor didn't cite.

>> When I ask ‘what did I say that made you thunk that’, can you explain why you rarely answer?

> Okay, sure.

> When you ask me to try and justify why I think you hold your position,

At this point it’s hard to read you as honest because of the frequency with which you misrepresent me. I have to assume you are unaware of this.

I am talking about why you won’t identify which words of mine lead to your misunderstandings of my position.

Why would you represent that as asking you to ‘justify’ your interpretation? That isn’t what I’m doing, and more importantly it’s not something I said. I’m just asking you to tell me what you are interpreting so I can see if what I said was ambiguous and if so how.

> I interpret that as a distraction (hopefully a good faith one).

A distraction from what? Are you not seeking to understand? Later in this comment you claim to want to know what my views are. If you ignore clarifying questions as a ‘distraction’, it seems likely that misunderstandings will keep arising.

> I don't want to argue on a meta-level about why I got confused about your comments,

Who is asking you to ‘argue on a meta-level’? I am asking you to simply say what words you are referring to when a misunderstanding becomes apparent.

> I want to know what you believe.

I recommend trying to get to the bottom of misunderstandings then.

> I'm frustrated that you keep trying to dig into "why are you confused"

You misrepresent me again. Can you not see that I haven’t asked ‘why are you confused’?

I have asked what you are referring to when you attribute a view to me that I don’t think is contained in what I wrote.

> instead of just clarifying your position.

I could clarify my position if you were willing to tell me what I said that lead to your interpretations of my views.
The student has factual evidence, the emails.

Everybody know that Microsoft is pure Evil. When I imported PC's from Taiwan to Norway by the early 1990's, Microsoft was the closest anyone there came to the Mafia. They sent their lawyers in black suits to all PC shops and threatened to deny us to sell Ms Dos and Windows at all, if we sold any alternative. When that happened, we also sold DR Dos, QNX and SCO Unix with our PC's - to a small minority of our customers.

The thing is that Apple has marketed itself as an alternative to Microsoft and the equally bad Google. Now they had their coming out party to the Cult of Evil.

I am feeling sad, betrayed and pissed off. And I'm not just sitting here, passive, sucking it up. I'm saying goodbye to Apple, and I'm no longer spending my spare time testing my code for their platform.
I live in England. Our cities are walkable, but they are often a nightmare to commute to by car (and bus, train, even though this is getting better).

What I think would work in American suburbs is light rail/tram systems. They aren't as popular in England, but are very popular in Germany. As a tourist, they made getting around very easy, even without a car.
The headlight vs. sun comparison (which I think was an edit?) is irrelevant because we're comparing the amount of energy deliverable over distance. The energy delivered by the sun (at a tenable band) vs. the energy delivered by the remote transmitter on earth, after the 'link budget' has been applied (taking into account distance, atmospheric attenuation, and so on) are the two things that need to be compared.
NO! For anything heavy bend your knees unless you are really fit.
i think you are missing the point of Kilopower, it was to build a working micro reactor prototype on realistic timeframe and actually ship it, they have designed the extension of this to MW scale where energy density is order of magnitude better.

Nuclear scales better than any other source of energy. How many sq feet of solar panels do you need for 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000 MWe, now translate it to lbs and $$$ cost (including shipping to the moon or mars base), also consider dust and lunar night conditions affecting solar use.

if you look at scaling it vs. weight and cost (including maintenance and replacement panels over 20-30 years), solar is no competitor to nuclear.

Well I was talking about a different time, where film distribution (literally) was still done by a lot of players, and movie theaters actually had several owners (before they closed down or got bought by big chains). A time when local theaters didn't have access to the movies for some months as well.

With that said, the majority of people won't forget it, especially with the media budgets used for advertising - promos, appearances, going on the talk shows tours, PR to news/magazines/, etc that's all coming out of the promotion budget. You probably don't realize it but you get in contact with movie promotional material several times before it launches.

Maybe you like just a particular set of movies, so the majority leave you little impression. I have movies that are completely oblivious to me, others that stick and leave me curious, but probably with so much content, noise and distraction it's normal to don't recall it all.

In my youth I recall that The Matrix, LOTR, Kill Bill, Harry Potter, all left me with big anticipation to watch them, for months if not years.
Maybe I'm just if ignorant about what it takes to make a movie.

But 25 million seems like a lot for a small film that's mainly script and acting.

Horror movies require a ton of special effects which I imagine is where huge budgets start to come into play.

But many of the best movies I've ever seen don't require tons of special effects.

Taxi driver, good will hunting, the godfather, moonlight, etc.

It's possible if the quality is there.
I'm going to get a little facetious here:

The corporation that is the U.S government acts just like one: roadmaps and planning ahead for radical policy changes to occur within longer spans of time to signify progress (or something), and then absolutely losing their shit if an opposing candidate wins & gets in the way of their progress, as we observed these past 5 years.

Acceptance of pedophilia has been set in motion for several years now. One only need look at some of California's SB-145, the ever-expanding reach of public schools teaching sex-ed to kindergartners, and the N number of drag queens sexualizing themselves in front of young children in public libraries and schools with grand applause and media gushing as these facilities move a few steps away from becoming brothels.

(See what I did there? Surely our libraries won't become brothels, that would be absurd! I mean, the chances of that happening are 2nd to none; and if 10 years from now, libraries still aren't brothels, then I'd have been wrong after all, and my playful exaggeration will have expired. A gatekeeper would have done their noble internet duty to inform me just how idiotic my suggestion was from the start, to be sure. The joke's on them for losing 15 minutes crafting the perfect response to my alarmism that will definitely change my mind.)

We had none of this just 3 years ago, but I'm pretty confident I'll be gaslit in response to my highly misinformed and "hateful" comments, as it goes. ;) That's no matter though. I take responsibility for that by standing by what I say, not bending to the winds of outrage.
I can only guess because I haven't read much into it. I think that they're trying to simulate the feeling of isolation one might experience on Mars. From an article it also seems like they will severely limit your contact with friends / family as well, presumably for the same purpose.
Well, not all hashing algorithms but all interesting or considered useful hashing algorithms, probably.

When dealing with say countable infinite sets you can certainly create a provable unique hash for each item in that set. The hash won't be interesting or useful. E.g. a hash that indexes all the integers n with a hashing function h(n+1)... so every integer you hash will be that value plus one. But this just being pedantic and wanting to walk down the thought.

The 320s have had composite parts forever. So have virtually every plane since then, The 787, for all it's other faults, hasn't had this issue, and uses a more radical design for it's 787, versus the A350 which still uses stringers and panels, rather then put more load on the CFRP.

But that said, given that Lufthansa is also apparently pulling and repainting it's A350s, there may be some reaction here.

The Spring framework (Java) does the same thing for controller methods. If you need an authenticated user, or a model object, or a path variable, just add it to the method signature and the framework will provide it.

I don’t know if there is a term for this concept. I’ve always seen it as some form of Dependency Injection/IoC but at the method level instead of object creation.

IIRC the Actix web framework in Rust does something similar for handler functions.
