Seems like good reasons to me, short term the first two are probably the important part, longer term the last one could be massive for countries struggling with massive corruption. Like any good idea it can be subverted or corrupted though so let's see.
What The Flying spaghetti monster?
The Terra Nova expedition had dogs as well as ponies and who knows, if they'd been purchased by someone who knew horses, they might've done a lot better.

Scott sent his dog handler Meares to purchase the ponies (and I can't really nail down the breed here, they're either described as Manchurian or Siberian, but they look like Yakut horses[1] in photos), and Scott insisted, for some reason, on white ponies, because he either thought that they did better in cold environments, or were stronger.

And apparently the only white ones available when Meares was purchasing, were old and apparently underfed. Of course, if Captain Oates, an experienced calvary man had accompanied Meares as Scott requested, he could've chosen good ones. It also didn't help that the horses had their summer coats when they arrived in Antarctica.

Also, they did eventually shoot the ponies to store as meat in caches when they had lost condition.

Many other polar explorers, both Arctic and Antarctic, used ponies successfully. When fed correctly. Meet Ernest Shackleton's meat eating pony, Socks, part of an expedition in 1907. [2]

Shackleton fed his horses "Maujee pemmican", which, according to him "consists of dried beef, carrots, milk, currants and sugar, and it provides a large amount of nourishment with comparatively little weight."

Scott, however, while replicating Shackleton's use of ponies, didn't feed them the same rations, preferring compressed wheat.

The Jackson-Harmsworth expedition to Franz Josef Land in the Arctic (the one that found Fridtjof Nansen) used ponies.

Wilhem Filchner used ponies successfully in Antarctica around the same time as Scott was dying, to the extent that he was able to release them on South Georgia Island after the expedition.

This is ultimately what killed my mum. She stopped moving. Once that happens so many things in the body just don't work so well. Combined with her other ailments her body just didn't work properly any more.

She initially went down-hill after she was weaned off the steroids she had been on during treatment for a benign brain tumour. Obviously the tumour and the radiotherapy didn't help things, but her health dropped off a cliff when the steroids stopped, she lost all her strength. I often wonder if she'd still be around now if they had just kept her on them and worked on her mobility.

Keep moving. You don't have to run marathons or go to the gym for it to have a positive effect.
Your comment can be interpreted in two opposite ways, but it seems you meant that native apps allow the better tracking and ad delivery.

While mobile apps are quite awful from this perspective, you must consider that the web is by far the most efficient platform for ad delivery and tracking.

It's the web which has cookie pop-ups with dozens and dozens of companies that want to track you.

It's the web which led to the development of ad blockers.

It's the web where an app developer has full access to your data on their servers.

It's the web where an app developer can at any time flip a switch and turn on telemetry, ads, etc.

Indeed. People are talking themselves in knots about how “unprogressive” it is that Manning is denied entry. Canada and the US recognize each other’s judicial systems, and Manning was convicted of a serious crime that has not been expunged. There is a process by which people can seek a special entry and Manning has used that while this appeal was underway. It seems like she’s trying to have CBSA declare her conviction unjust, which I feel is unjust itself. That’s not the purpose of the border service.

How would people feel if someone convicted of insider trading, an arguably much more “victimless” crime than espionage, tried the same thing? I suspect the same people who argue for Manning to be admitted would argue against the hypothetical inside trader. The only just approach is to apply the standard fairly to all people.

Google and others have offices in Europe. I'd enquire about the possibility of starting in Europe and moving to _destination_ at a later time. Recruiters will invariably say "yeah, people do it all the time, it's no problem," but you'll want to independently figure out: out of everybody who wants to do this, how many actually achieve it, and how certain will your path be? At least talk to a hiring manager if there is one, they're the folks who own the follow through on this stuff (or inability to do so!) An internal transfer between teams will have the same timing issues as an external H1B hire, I imagine you want to land on a distributed team.
Give Rider[1] a try? Its F# support is not as fully-featured as C#, but its, in my opinion, the best available F# IDE. Worth noting, many great features of Rider aren't C#-specific, e.g. the incremental search in files works for any language. Keep in mind, it's not free though.

I think the main reason kids in foster care suffer is that the kids are already old and have been through a traumatic situation that caused them to have to be put into foster care. That trauma plus the transition can leave emotional scars. Another problem is the foster parents cannot fully take in the kid. The kid can be taken away from them by the government and given back to the kid's original parents.

Putting a newborn up for adoption is different, it doesn't have either of those problems. There are 2 million families in the US waiting to adopt a newborn.

This says that the drug creates the ability to relearn something, but the learning process itself is of course mediated by the setting provided - learning is always about interaction with the environment. This has nothing to do with weasel words, it simply illustrates the mode of action.

I am skeptical about microdosing on MDMA, as the substance itself is pretty taxing on the body and the brain, and I don't think much good would come from completely depleting your serotonin levels.

I think this substance is useful, but its usage is best kept on a (bi-)monthly basis so you have time to recover between sessions.

A better candidate than MDMA for microdosing with similar effect would be 2-CB. It does not deplete any of your serotonin, and you recover from it in a couple of days, even after massive doses.
In my naïve thinking I would just follow my compass in the south direction to find the magnetic south pole. When the compass flips around at 180° then you crossed the pole. I don't know if they understood the difference between the pole and the magnetic pole at that time.

I learnt in the Fram museum in Oslo that they did a lot of magnetic field measurements, which led to new and important scientific insights. So they navigated by compass (and sextant).

But not only. Amundsen did 'sensor fusion'. He did pace-counting and had meter-wheels fixed to sledges to measure their traveled distance. In addition to that he erected snow beacons every three miles.

The source for this is the article 'The Long Journey Home' from the magazine 'Navigation News'. But I didn't find the article itself online. I found only a blog that talks about it: https://www.naturalnavigator.com/news/2014/11/navigation-on-...

In general, there is no less of an anti-censorship stance among Australians than among those in the US.

What we do have in Australia - with its accompanying advantages and disadvantages - are strong protections against defamation, particularly from the media. And it's that machinery which is at work here.

Nothing is stopping the media continuing to allow comments on social media posts, if they accept the legal risks associated with defamation, or they enact a sufficient level of moderation for content which carries that risk. This is a purely commercial play, not a governmental censorship one.

None of this excuses our federal government, which continues to veer towards the authoritarian end of the spectrum. But that's another topic.

>ORMs also have the problem of being an impedance mismatch compared to the raw SQL most people are used to, meaning you’ve got the reference documentation open all day looking up how to do accomplish things when the equivalent SQL would’ve been automatic. Easier queries are pretty straightforward, but imagine if you want to add an upsert or a CTE.

How does this make sense? Most ORMs will give yo a way to execute raw sql which you marshal into a struct the way yo would with a lower level library.

Tests like this are intended to prove or refine information derived from clues from damaged subjects. You can learn a lot of things about complex systems like the brain by studying their failure modes, but you have to be careful of inferring causation from correlation and other such fallacies — for instance here they could have been trying to rule out the behaviour being a secondary symptom (the correct response actually being controlled elsewhere normally, but that is blocked by the damage rather than the damage having affected it more directly), or testing to see if multiple areas are directly involved in the behaviour rather than it being as simple as that one area seeming to control the veto, or just ruling out a pre-existing condition in the initial subjects unrelated to the subsequent damage.
Yes, but you can verify blocks independently and see that someone verified a block that was actually invalid. It's not something that can remain secret.
For perspective, note that the studies you're referring to are studying a rare occurrence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion refers to CDC statistics that 1% of abortions may be at 21+ weeks, but even that is with the caveat that what they're really looking at is medical procedures, and thus that "According to the CDC, due to data collection difficulties the data must be viewed as tentative and some fetal deaths reported beyond 20 weeks may be natural deaths erroneously classified as abortions if the removal of the dead fetus is accomplished by the same procedure as an induced abortion." Additionally, 56% of women declined to participate in the study, and there will surely be some correlation between that choice and the cause for the termination.

Of course that doesn't invalidate the findings; but it is a a fairly small number of events they're talking about here, that's all.

This is the reverse case, though. Plus, child abuse can in principle be found out and mitigated. Death is irreversible.

Incentives are different too. Outside of highly fundamentalist cultures, there isn't really a strong benefit to a family from pressuring someone to keep a child. In developed countries, children are a huge liability for the first ~20 years of their life. Meanwhile, with assisted suicide, there are strong incentives around cessation of ongoing medical care (costs), and obviously inheritance.

Between that and possibility of presenting some murders as assisted suicide, I think if the idea is to be implemented, it really needs to be done extra carefully.
> You're right, never ever have a bunch of corporations and governments colluded to be dishonest with people for their own gain.

There would have to be an awfully lot of people keeping that super awful secret. Corporations are made up of people and it would only take one of them to talk. Things don't usually stay a secret when that many people know about it.

Also third party scientists are able to read, comprehend papers that are written, so it's pretty unlikely in this day and age of being able to read any paper you want.

I think you missed my point which was that having the virus spread isn't beneficial to governments, corporations or anyone wanting the status quo to remain the same.
Since you don't have a lot of experience with Linux yet I would suggest Ubuntu (pick the latest version over the LTS one) since it has great documentation and instructions on how to install just about anything.

Looks very similar to the annoyingly named "mybatis". I approve of the principle: SQL should be separated from code, because SQL needs to be written, or at least tuned, by someone with database expertise. There are often deeply subtle decisions on how to phrase things that affect which indexes get used and so on, and can make orders of magnitude difference to how quickly a query executes.

This is also why ORMs that write the query for you are unhelpful. You're stuck trying to control how a machine makes SQL.
Taking MDMA with my girlfriend was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Brought us much closer together. I can imagine it would be a wonderful addition to couple's therapy because it makes you so comfortable speaking and turns empathy into your instinctive response.
I was referring to microdosing LSD or psilocybin, but maybe your sarcasm is just what we need cause that is exactly what people are doing is still obtaining the drugs in an unsafe illegal way.

The more I've used Actions, the more I have come to two conclusions:

1) It's generally better to just do things with legacy tooling and your own scripts, than it is to pull in community actions

2) GitHub badly needs to implement tightly scoped tokens. GITHUB_TOKEN has a completely fixed and unmodifiable scope, and if you need to give a workflow an OAuth token to perform some other operation, your only choice is to give it a full read-write token for all of the repositories the token's user can access. You can't even scope a token to a single repo, let alone make one that's read-only, or limited to, say, commenting.

Show HN: Create a ticket for any repair/fixing jobs
I've built a free meta consultation and assessment service (over professional service providers). The idea to create a JIRA like ticket for house fixing/repair jobs and offload the scouting work, It seemed like an interesting idea, so i built (a basic version) one. I have a plan to create a reverse bidding between providers to get cheapest price once there is some volume of requests.

Tickets from a city are assigned to city level agents from the backend. You can do an in-app group chat, share images to explain your problem, and we try to assist.

If someone is interested in this as a product and can put some efforts to grow this, i'm interested to talk. I spent 12$ on google ads and less than a month, I've seen 12 tickets so far.

(More backstory: This is a repurposed ticketing system i built earlier, but that product didn't pickup.)
