First, being pedantic, you mean the conspiracy theories surrounding them. Certainly there are some crazy theories. At the same time, given the suspicious circumstances of JFK's killing, there's a decent chance a conspiracy to kill him between some people did occur. With secret government technology... I don't know if that counts as conspiring. We know they develop things in secret. Of course, you can have crazy theories about what they're developing. It's also, in either case, crazy to believe a theory is true without any evidence.

Seems to be a form of victim blaming.

If people tried to follow normal dieting advice, and they failed, do we keep telling them to try harder?

I am speaking as someone who had lost a lot of weight and achieved near normal BMI and had prioritized health. I found intermittent fasting to be much easier and less willpower taxing than counting calories, which was way too much work.

People do want to be healthier and a lot of people really tried hard. Problem is, in other societies, it's effortless.

In the context of physics (of which I'm not an expert), I believe you are using the term 'facts incorrectly. What you are calling a fact, in physics would be a prediction produced by our existing models, that is supported by observation.

Our current model of gravity predicts what happens when an apple falls, and that's what we observe. That is what you're calling a 'fact'.

String theory can produce all of these same predictions. If it only predicted the same stuff we can already predict, then it's useless. If it can make a new prediction, then its potentially valuable. So if it can make a definitive statement that will be true or false that says when you do X, Y will happen, and right now we can't predict what will happen after X, or our current model says Z will happen then we're very close to adding value. But Y could still be wrong.

So finally if string theory saying X will cause Y, our current theory doesn't know what will happen after X, or thing something other than Y will happen we can run and experiment and falsify one of them. If we observe Y happens then great, string theory is useful in modeling our universe. If anything else happens, then it hasn't provided modeling/predictive value.

The current complaint against string theory is it's not about to make a solid prediction and let us run any test to see that it's true or false. So essentially if it's useless.

It like a theory that says an alligator is ornery because it has a lot of teeth and no toothbrush. That's falsifiable. If I give it a tooth brush then it should stop being so angry. If it one and it stops my theory is right if I give it one and its still angry my theory is wrong.

Instead imagine a theory. When asked "why are alligators so angry?" Answers "because i said so". Well that's not very useful. You can use that to "explain" everything, but predict nothing. That's why falsifiable predictions are the test of value for a model/theory.

"People who look at forecast maps" are way more confused about the weather actually happening than those that don't. FTFY ;-)

My local forecasts have predicted rain for multiple days in a row, and then those days arrive to sunny skies. The same day forecasts get updated to reflect the lack of rain, and then mid-to-late afternoon storms after zero prediction of them. This summer has been a bad luck streak for forecasters.

> but it is clear that SoftBank’s short sighted profit driven behavior has caused a massive conundrum.

I think the entire West has had short sighted profit driven behavior with respect to China for the past 40 years.
There's a bunch to say about this, not much of it all that good.

First, consider the source. The mere fact that this polling is conducted by a think tank should give anyone - regardless of political party or ideological position - some pause, as think tanks are explicitly "state-external agents of change". Advocacy organizations, in other words. This is fine, such as it is, but as think tanks of all stripes present themselves as anything but ideological or partisan (including this one, the Chicago Council on Foreign Affairs) and often seek to couch themselves in the ostensibly more dispassionate language of science and academia, there's frequently a bit of a trick being played. I think we should watch out for that. It's cheesy to say, maybe, that "these people have an agenda", but these people have an agenda. They're not a university (which, yes, is also occupied by human beings who are biased), but they'd be happy if you thought they were.

Second, and relatedly, we need to look at what a think tank's interest is. Twelve seconds of Googling shows that the Chicago Council's current President was for 4 years the Permanent US Representative to NATO -- not exactly someone with a disinterested relationship to American empire and how this country treats the rest of the world, Taiwan/China or otherwise. (And NATO is nothing if not expansionist, continuing to grow -- hell, to exist -- long after its raison d'etre, the USSR, ceased to be.) I'm editorializing / speculating here, but these are the same ghouls who start every American war, the same guys at the UN handing slides to Colin Powell about non-existent (which they knew) Iraqi WMD.

Lastly there's the poll itself. I don't have time to dig into the details, but in my view the poll's results -- or anyway, the headline of its results -- fits perfectly in the steady drumbeat, growing ever louder, of civilizational confrontation with China, and the manufacturing of American consent for such a project. In my view there's some pretty straightforward Chomskian stuff happening in the zeitgeist around this, and this poll headline only serves to further it: "See? Americans are okay with confronting China aggressively!" Which of course gives elites permission to push more for these stances, a nice feedback loop. With headlines like these, they're laying the groundwork for bloodshed in the not-too-distant future. They know this full well, and they're okay with it, because neither they nor their children will be sent to die for this paranoia.

My wish for HN readers looking at this would be to be critical, even suspicious, of things like these, regardless of what one thinks about Taiwan. There's a method here.

EDIT: And, in case anyone's feeling rah-rah themselves about "defending" Taiwan, know that we'd get our shit absolutely rocked in a war with China over Taiwan. It'd be bloody, it'd be long, and we'd lose. Not to be critical of think tanks only to turn around and cite one, but plenty of entities, including RAND and the US military itself, have done war games and simulations about this scenario and it does not end well for the US. Easily googleable.

You make a great point that I didn't really think of! Apple definitely tries to massage their optics. Could also be why Apple's store is also more criticized than Google's, even though there's a lot more garbage on the Play Store.
Isn't that precisely what the model shows it doing?
They want you to use their interactive dashboards backed by their database using features their PMs prioritized, like wide columns and drill-downs. But you're right, other systems do support these . Ex: Splunk has done wide columns with index-on-write columnar analytics and point-and-click pivoting/drilldowns since ~day 1. So, as they add features, they get very definitional on each one. Most startup people (myself included!) have a lot to learn from their successful developer/IT marketing style.
IDE Tape, oh I can imagine. Dealth with Zip drives and other chancer short lived formats - though some just attached via LPT port. I'd imagine you would want that on it's own controller as could easily see the slow transfer quirks causing issues with any other attached device - there again having an HD on same IDE run as your HD was never ideal - more so if a burner. So a slow writting device upon IDE - oh yeah, you was setup for sure with that combo for many head scratchings and quirks.

I learned all I want to know about that game while my 11 year old was playing it. Sounded like BotW with annoyingly long and useless grinding to get weird crystals or something that are needed to buy better weapons (or buy loot boxes of a sort with low good loot chace, IIRC).

It didn't sound horrible, because he seemed to like the gameplay, but I didn't feel any desire to get into a game where you can pay for benefit (I tend to the other end of the spectrum, repeatedly punishing deaths until you get better, like Dark Souls).

He probably spent a total of ~$80 on the game, over 4-6 months. I don't count that as too bad, as it's not much more than buying it and an expansion would cost, and it provided him a lot of entertainment. That said, the reason it as only ~$80 is because I was controlling the purse strings.

> Link local does not work (reliably) in browsers: https://[fe80::1]/ doesn't work on most platforms.

1. You have to specify an interface, since fe80::1 may be in use on more than one link (so that becomes https://[fe80::1%en0]/ for instance), 2. that IP address may not be assigned to any devices on the link-local network.

What platforms does it not work on?
You can image many stars and black holes as point sources without issues. For M87 you can even capture its huge particle jet using telephoto lens, digital camera and small star tracker.

This gives you their magnitudes, spectral lines, ability to detect planets passing in front of them etc. But if you want to resolve their image beyond point light it becomes very hard - there are hard physical limits on what size of aperture you need to resolve any detail. There are tricks to increase effective aperture by measuring phase of electromagnetic waves reaching antennas across the globe. It is called interferometry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_interferometer

Here is a list of the stars we have imaged beyond point source so far: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stars_with_resolved_im...

M87 is the first black hole imaged beyond point source.

>And while yes nature has all sorts of shiny bright iridescence caused by diffraction etc., those properties are destroyed as soon as the material is smushed. You can't turn gorgeous insect wings into dye.

Seems like a great technological opportunity for someone to figure out.

Recently I advised someone not to buy granite countertops sight unseen, since the way they look in person is so different from the way they look in a photo - a photo completely misses the reflections, iridescence and other three-dimensional aspects of the actual product.
My siblings are not morbidly obese, but they have been overweight most of their adult lives. The people they hang out with personally and professionally are also overweight and many have the typical health problems that accompany the overweight demographic.

My wife and myself are not overweight and have never been. She was a tom-boy and a jock during high school and did intramural stuff in college. I was on high school track team and either walked or rode my bicycle - no car. While in the military, most of the people in my shop had to eat 4x per day to maintain our weight. Afterwards, during college, I lived on cheap beans and pasta or rice, and the occasional can of cheap tuna, and peanut butter sandwiches until I met my wife. She taught me how to cook and introduced me to much better stuff. So I did not eat 'correctly' until my early 30s.

Until the last two years, we had remained physically active and were never overweight. We have gained some weight but are not overweight and, other than the incident that severely curbed our physical activity, have had no significant health problems.

The pattern of life-long activity and a physical mind-set seems to be a common factor when you look at older healthy people (over 55) that were never overweight, regardless of food quantity and type consumption.

You either are lucky enough to have decent genetics and the willingness to start an active life well, or you go through life increasingly overweight with chronic health problems.
Ive thought about this too! That seems totally possible. I think that’s such a great idea. It could truly bring Linux to the masses!

Whether natural dyes look different or not is unknown to me, however I bet $100 that dude couldn't tell the difference if you mixed in a bunch of synthetically dyed material with the naturally dyed stuff. Put the natural and synthetic dyes in a lineup together and I bet there is no way for him to reliably tell them apart.

There is some code which allows the app to pull videos from youtube, instagram, facebook, twitter, reddit, etc, and I think that is really the thing that separates this app from other generic image editors.

Congratulations from a fellow African! Looking forward to your success!

Moving to the US and Europe was a shock for me. It is hard to send money to my home country. If a relative back home needs money within two weeks I usually have to ask other people to send money on my behalf or I have to ask other relatives back home to help them until I can pay them back. This is constant source of stress when you have a poor family.

I ended up quitting my job in another domain to go work in Fintech with the ultimate goal of solving this problem.

Some issue that make it hard for me to send money:

* Transfer fees are very high for both bank transfer and remittance services.

* The large remittance services like Western Union and MoneyGram have draconian processes to the point that they can just block your transfer with no clear explanation and on multiple occasions they even blocked all customers from sending money to my country.

* Only one bank back home has online banking services and they have lamentable security practices.

* Many banks in the west don't let me send money back home. If they do then they require you to physically go to a branch and prove your identity. This was/is a problem during the pandemic.

* You can only send up to a certain amount. Too little, it gets eaten away by the transfer fees, too high, they don't let you send it unless you give them a sob story and they feel sorry for you and approve it just this one time.

I am a huge proponent of better public transit but I think pointing out induced demand and saying extra lanes has no benefits is misleading.

If four lanes can handle 10,000 cars an hour at 45mph and six lanes can handle 15,000 cars an hour at 45mph then induced demand pointer-outers will point out that this doesn't help the traffic. And this is true! But clearly if the goal is for a city to get as much cars through as possible + make as many houses in the range of distance that can commute this is a plus.

This creates lots of problems with carbon waste and sprawl but I think looking at the traffic issue alone doesn't capture the full picture. It's like telling a restaurant that has an average wait time of 20 minutes that if they build 50% more tables and improve their wait staff that they will still have 20 minute wait times on Friday. This is true - but the wait time being held constant while drastically increasing capacity accomplishes the stated goals. And I have a hunch a lot of this criticism probably comes from a place of wealthier people who live within a very short distance of their place of work.
I’m not surprised by this because my personal bias is to expect a government that serves interests that financially support them, either directly (contributions) or indirectly (revolving door). But are there examples of agencies (not necessarily EPA) that are performing falsifications in the other direction, favoring populist or activist positions instead of corporate ones? And how do we design our government to protect against either direction of bias?

The other two answers you got are good. I will say that monitoring p99 (or 99.9 or whatever) is a good thing, especially if you're building human-interactive stuff. Here's my colleague Andrew Certain talking about how Amazon came to that conclusion: https://youtu.be/sKRdemSirDM?t=180

But p99 is just one summary statistic. Most importantly, it's a robust statistic that rejects outliers. That's a very good thing in some cases. It's also a very bad thing if you care about throughput, because throughput is proportional to 1/latency, and if you reject the outliers then you'll overestimate throughput substantially.

p99 is one tool. A great and useful one, but not for every purpose.

> Because I dont know anyone who has utilisation to 1 or even 0.5 in production.

Many real systems like to run much hotter than that. High utilization reduces costs, and reduces carbon footprint. Just running at low utilization is a reasonable solution for a lot of people in a lot of cases, but as margins get tighter and businesses get bigger, pushing on utilization can be really worthwhile.
Most of the time it isn't the same places that get hit. Its not as if the same neighborhood is rebuilt year after year, many of these places have homes and infrastructure that is 100 years old.

Also keep in mind that a majority of the East Coast is under threat from Hurricanes. If we just abandoned any area that has been severely damaged by a hurricane, there would effectively be an unpopulated coastline from Boston to the Mexican border.
I did this type of research last year. I came to the conclusion that you're likely over paying for the portability premium of a laptop with gimped hardware that generally does quite poorly on ventilation. That means your hardware is getting abused by heat, meaning wear and increased likelihood of failure so overall shorter life.

If you want a laptop to actually run AI/ML/RL workloads that would benefit from a graphics card, you're better off optimizing your search for decent specs, no dedicated GPU, portability and good battery life, and spending the money on a powerful desktop setup instead. Your workflow can look like this:

1 - design experiments on laptop or use laptop to remote into desktop with GPU
2 - scale experiments on desktop with GPU till you reach a point where it's maxed out
3 - use Google co-lab with GPU or Paperspace or other similar services (usually offer a free tier for experimentation)
4 - scale on cloud if you really want to parallelize

If you have no choice but to buy only a laptop due to budget, I still think you'd be better off purchasing a laptop without a dedicated GPU and going for points 3/4 above. Seriously, the gains from using an RTX on a laptop are just not worth the cost.

The benefit of using colab or other types of cloud services, is that your investment is low to 0 and will allow you to determine if you actually should invest in your own dedicated hardware.
Almost certainly, yes, it would interfer with the thermal imaging of the scope.

Not my domain, so speculating:

Space-based nuclear power is virtually always a radioisotopic thermoelectric generator (RTG), which works by utilising the heat of radioactive decay from plutonium, in the form of plutonium oxide.

Since the generation mechanism is thermal, the RTG reaches high temperatures (500C, 900F).

The Webb telescope is an infrared telescope, sensing electromatic radiation in the range emitted by warm objects. The telescope itself is cryogenically cooled to 50K (-223C, -369F), and carefully shielded from the Sun by a large (though lightweight and delicate) shade.

Even electrically-powered systems on the cold side of the telescope are designed for the lowest possible power consumption to minimise heating. The instrument package draws 11 milliwatts of power. That's 1 calorie every 6 minutes 20 seconds --- it would take 6.33 minutes to raise 1 ml of water 1 degree Celsius. You burn about 10 calories (10 kilocalories or "dietary calories") in the same time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Webb_Space_Telescope

TL;DR: thermal generation on an instrument which must be maintained at an extremely cold temperature is a hard engineering problem.
