You could do it, but a triple wouldn't be the best choice of data structure. I would just add a new numerical column called "weight" to each relation in your RDF store:

"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone","author","Jane Doe",0.005

"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone","author","J.K. Rowling",1.0

...

You could easily export RDF triples from this if you needed to using rules like "The author for each book is determined by the '<book>-author-<name>' relation of highest weight".

Edit: Sorry I didn't answer your question about "10 minute phone call at time t between person A and person B".

The best way I can think of to model this with triples is:

"call:<call_id>","started_at",t
"call:<call_id>","ended_at",t + <duration>
"person A","participant","call:<call_id>"
"person B","participant","call:<call_id>"

But this may be overly complicated depending on how you want to query the data and what you want to do with it.

I'm surprised there was no mention of sauerkraut, I know it was a great way to keep preserved vitamin C on board a ship that would last for a while.
I don't think Elixir is aimed at academics, though. It's very clear that it tries to be as pragmatic as possible.
Regardless of what people think about copyright infringement, I see torrenting as an essential tool for the transmission and preservation of information.

In this day and age of convoluted terms of services (TOS/TOC), xyz as a service/subscription, and just plain DRM, no one really owns anything anymore. No one can be sure what version they do have is the original and immutable version. Edits and omissions happen because of licensing issues and just plan social activism. Problematic content should be acknowledged but not purged and erased.

It’s vital people have the means to share data regardless of what the powers that be allow to be shared.

A big and multi-faceted factor not considered here is airport capacity, in terms of terminal building footprint, aircraft ground handling, flight control and airspace.

Many large airports are already at capacity, so it's difficult to see how higher numbers of aircraft could work.
It's due to the current cryptocurrency hype cycle and its volatility.
When BTC pumps, crypto posts come in. When BTC dumps it is followed by the panic posts. If nothing happens, then you get no posts.

Funny enough, you may also encounter strange posts like this one [0] which tells Coinbase to list a meme-coin because it pumped straight into the 3rd market cap in days. Despite listing, the coin dumped from its ATH.

The user was willing to bet $10k that the meme-coin will reach $1 by the end of August. 'I'd actually be willing to bet 10k USD with you that by end of August Doge will still be over $1.00.' [0]

As of September 2021, it is now $0.24. So where's that $10k then?

This is what euphoria does. Don't be like them and just ignore the hype and do your own research.

No, it’s a cognitive distortion associated with depression that some people have rationalized into a philosophical judgment, because it’s easier for some people to do that than to actually address the level of depression and misanthropy that they suffer from.

With the described anti western and anti Jewish sentiments and views, being Saudi citizens(I presume) , why would they want American citizenship?

Saudi embassy/consulate staff involved meeting these people? This looks so dodgy, the Kashoggi case has shown that Saudi diplomat staff doesn't respect territorial laws when being hosted.
Mediterranean restaurant is some sort of key word or red herring, not just because of the rather offensive "beneath their status" statement, but clearly if it's more than just Mediterranean than in name, their last priority would be to cater for halal food and I am pretty sure that the Mediterranean dressing style would be viewed as "beneath their status" (but certainly not style, if I mad add this).
So they didn't go there for the food, but to meet with other lackeys, to not been seen in the usual, not under status locations.
I don't think ALSA and Pipewire fill the same niche anyway? I was under the impression ALSA was an API for directly talking to the audio devices, which would be used by Pipewire or Pulseaudio or that in-house solution ChromeOS uses, or whichever flavor of mixer.

End-user applications talking directly to ALSA will probably become more uncommon, though.

Edit: Yeah, the PipeWire FAQ confirms this https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/wikis/FAQ...

Not GP. You're comparing apples to oranges.

If I get into a car accident and you're across town, you're right, that doesn't affect you. Likewise, if I get COVID and you're across town, I can't infect you, so likewise, you're not affected.

However, if we're on the same side of town, and I get into a car accident, it could affect you because I might hit you. Likewise, if I get COVID, and we're on the same side of town, I could infect you.

You might protest that I could still infect you if I get COVID on the opposite side of town by infecting someone else who infects you. This is false. The person who actually infected you infected you. To claim it was my fault that you got infected means that we should all blame patient zero and China. I mean, we should blame China, but probably not patient zero.
The degree to which social media allows both the amplification, and as you said, siloing of viewpoints to a mass audience, is IMO qualitatively different from the media available pre-Internet.

Just remember that "netsplits" exist in every distributed system, be it a chat app or a database. It's just the CAP theorem. IRC has chosen to sacrifice C (consistency).

The only thing that changed in the modern times is that the P (partitions) are extremely rare in modern high octane cloud infrastructures. Also, modern solutions often decide to sacrifice A (availability), by returning an error saying "we're aware of the problem and we're working on a solution". This is what happened quite recently when Google authentication went out and half of the internet went dark, while under the hood they had a simple out-of-quota situation on one of the replicas of their core authentication systems. The system was programmed to sacrifice A (availability) and reject all authentication requests.
Pretty dour commentary on human nature. There's a kernel of something worth considering but sacrifices nuance in favor of a crafted idea.

As a member of the described expert class, I'd say we have limitations equal to those of elites. That's not examined.
There are many octane boosters in addition to lead and ethanol. Like N-methyl aniline, ethers like MTBE and ETBE, and modifying the gasoline composition to replace low-octane components with high-octane components like aromatics, and so-called super alkylate.

Most of these have disadvantages of their own, and tend to be more expensive. So TEL won for a reason. Particularly if you ignore things like diffuse health effects.

Origin of Life is full of ultra-improbable coincidences. How do scientists in that field explain it?

"There is no weaker progenitor virus."

I've never heard a scientist dealing with any level of Complexity declare a negative fact before. Having not discovered a weaker progenitor doesn't preclude its existence. This type of statement ignores all comparisons made to the bat coronaviruses that have very much been part of the discussion.

I read some of your other replies and agree with some, and can at least see the point of a lot of them. But the grander wide-brush statements weaken those points.
Ugh yes perfect example—every time I go there nowadays I can’t find anything. Often I would try to find an actor/director’s filmography but it takes a good 20 seconds to find the tiny links squeezed between the ads!
Who gets to choose what is and isn't disinformation? Nice try. The scientic method and scientific debate are banned on ALL social media platforms except 1. Test a hypothesis?

But where is this assumption of a H1B worker causing this coming from? Literally zero indication of this, just a racist strawman.

Here's a good analysis by the CATO institute, and the conclusion is that legalization has not had much of an impact in either the positive or negative direction. Until there's good data to support the idea that cannabis legalization is creating harms it's probably best to remain neutral. Both pro and anti cannabis sides are going of "feels", rather than facts it seems.

If a company decides to stop giving customers free goods, it is not "fucking over customers." Doing something nice for a person for a time does not create any kind of moral or social obligation to keep doing that thing.

That said, I would love to see experimentation in maintenance and consistency. It turns out that type of thing is happening in Cloud at least with enterprise APIs. https://cloud.google.com/apis/docs/resources/enterprise-apis
I'm not sure if you are aware but the majority of italians eat pasta roughly once per day, as the main course. It's definitely NOT for tight incomes only, it's for everyone. It's just incredibly tasty.

The article is generally reasonable, but it makes the common mistake of conflating leadership and management. This is specifically about directly managing a team. One can lead large groups of people (armies, departments) and huge projects spanning hundreds of people can be led by non-managers (I could also say individual contributors, but many folks also incorrectly assume this implies lack of leadership qualities/responsibilities).
I feel like it’s more of a culture thing. You spend time with people who talk a certain way because of X reason and then you pick up their way of talking over time. This sounds like someone’s half assed attempt at a disertation for their graduate degree
Others have pointed out the flaws in this study. I want to add: at first blush, the basic premise seems plausible on its face. I bet I'd be able to pick out many long-time regular cannabis consumers (of whom I'm one) based on audio recordings of their conversational voice.
I’d love to try it out, but for the time being I’m running Ubuntu (for work needs) and there doesn’t seem to be any trivial/non-invasive ways to get PipeWire to run on a regular Ubuntu desktop install.

The United States is a liberal democracy, a constitutional republic, an oligarchy, a military kleptocracy; it is centralized, federated, and a union of equal states; it is an authoritarian scientific bureaucratic apparatus, a traditional common-law community; its judges are elites skimmed from the top of Harvard, men elected by peers, and unqualified friends of the Mayor; it is unicameral and bicameral depending on your location. It is all of these things balanced against one another precariously and stably, at minima, maxima, and saddle points in thousands of millions of dimensions.
Overly generous. Much if not most of the damage of lead was done to unrelated third parties who did not necessarily have any relationship with those responsible for the use of lead. The person who makes that argument is telling those unrelated people, "wear hazmat gear 24/7 because somebody, somewhere may be killing you."

The remainder of the damage from lead was done to employees, where the advice boils down to "don't work because your employer may be killing you."
The website hasn't been updated in a while and the stack somewhat diverges from what is written there but we're very hard at work making all the pieces fit together. The p2p database (eyros) works pretty well with only some transfer size improvements left. The database is fully symmetric and runs fully in the browser with a ~400kb wasm build (will work on getting this down later). And the rendering stack works pretty well. The main hurdle at the moment which I have been working on is the ingest phase which consumes planet-osm.pbf and writes into the spatial database (eyros). I can process all the nodes in 1 hour and all the ways in 35 hours on a not very expensive vps but processing the relations I still run out of memory. Probably in the next few weeks I can get this ingest phase working and we will have an initial data release. There is still some rendering work with polish and label rendering but it basically works.

The main initial benefit for the project is to have completely free embeddable web maps hosted p2p (using ipfs, hyperdrive, webtorrent) where you can entirely customize the rendering. Then later the benefits of the fully symmetric nature of the database will start to make more sense and the project has the potential to become less centralized on open street map servers and data. For some prior work that I and other people who work on peermaps have worked on check out https://mapeo.world/ and this very old writeup I made about an early version of the osm-p2p database. The experiences of working on that project and prior versions heavily informs how the current peermaps stack works.

I'm not seeing any claim that an H1B employee is less moral, only that a person (regardless of visa status) can be coerced into doing something they would rather not do.

Also, there is no inherent racial component to an H1B or other status.

The example of an H1B person seems to have been provided only as a sample to further illustrate the point that "Just quit on principle, rather than implement this thing!" is often not an acceptable action due to other effects.
Okay, but Moxie has actually produced a secure and usable messaging system, based on his stance. Have any of the people who disagree with him gone ahead and produced something that proves their viewpoint?
Not previous commenter, but as with other problems in computing, I find that you need to add a level of indirection.

"CallSessionX" -> participant -> "person A"
"CallSessionX" -> participant -> "person B"
"CallSessionX" -> duration -> "10 minute"
"CallSessionX" -> at_time -> t

Haven't used Sparql or Cypher in many years (used in Neo4j), but with the later you could do a query along the lines

"person A" <- participant <- call_session -> participant -> "person B"

To find calls between person A and person B, then you can add a variable binding on the exact node you're interested in (eg call_session) to extract/aggregate attributes.

>For example, when a journalist writes a popular book on science...the rest of us are far more interested in hearing them talk on the subject than the scientists they write about. I think many (maybe not enough, for sure) don't see 'journalists' as scientific experts. For your Sanjay Guptas it may be true, but he's not a true journalist .

Yeah, this seems dubious to me. For one thing, I think people are plenty interested in pop sci books written by experts—hence all the books by doctors that include "MD" after their name on the cover. Of course, sometimes the MD doesn't indicate expertise in the topic they're writing in, but I suspect a book marketed as "pediatrician and pediatrics researcher Dr. So-and So writes about [childhood health topic]" would probably do better than "Dr. So-and-So, MD, writes about [childhood health topic]."

For another thing, there are other plausible explanations than a preference for elites—journalists are more experienced at writing for a general audience and they may have more connections to mass market publishers (rather than academic publishers).

I'd also argue communicating science is a separate skill from doing science. I think all scientists have at least a modicum of skill at communicating science to their peers, but journalists can very well have more experience in communicating science to the public than scientists. It's confusing since Hanson acknowledges communication as a kind of expertise when he refers to journalists as "news experts" elsewhere in the post.
