Amongst mammals, human females actual limited fertility is the odd thing.

Visual and maybe hormonal attractiveness may change over time with other mammals too, but not actual numeric quantity of eggs. (I'm not sure if there is broad enough data on egg viability across all mammals though, but the fixed quantity and therefore approximate time period of fertility is more easily seen)

Given that this variable is the different one, the differences in human populations (ie. the competition for being chosen) really should be evaluated with this aspect weighted more heavily.

#1 is correct, but #2 is wrong.

During war, gold is useful in Civ as it can instantly create units. But science is better in the long run (a heavy science build can get ironclad battleships by 0AD in game time)

The FreeCiv governor is a solver where you input your goals (maximize science vs maximize gold) and then the solver solves the optimal placement.

But it only works if the human gives it the right goals.

Even with a science focused build, a city in rapture will generate more science. But do you solve for rapture conditions? Or do you solve for science optimization?

Is there a key science that will increase happiness (temples, banks, colosseums?). Is so, maybe having a short term science focus for some +happiness is going to be overall faster.

What if one city has more gold buildings? Should this city use the same solver as the rest of your cities? Or do you want this one city to focus on gold and let the rest of your cities handle science?

If the solver fails to solve for your conditions (ex: no starvation is a common solve condition. But maybe my enemies are pillaging my farms and starvation is always going to happen now...) How does the solver react? Should it reduce starvation as much as possible? Or should it stop and point out the problem to me?

Maybe I can't rely on food supplies in that city and need to build caravans to import food from a nearby city. The governor doesn't have control of units, only of the city. Maybe I need gold in my other cities to buy caravans to send food to the starving city, while far away cities continue to focus on science.

-------

EDIT: It should be noted that the Governor can sometimes be unhelpful. For example, if you have two cities within a rare "whale" tile (whales are one of the best tiles in the game), only one of those cities can benefit.

The governor of the two cities will fight for the whale, meaning one city will randomly not get the whale.

In such "fighting" situations, you disable the governor, then manually choose which city gets to work on the whale-tile, and then turn the governor back on. The governor is only "locally optimal". It still requires the player to make globally optimal decisions (ie: a bad choice for city B means city A benefits more, and maybe you have multiplicative bonuses in city A (due to trade routes, buildings, specialists etc. etc.) who can benefit from the whale more than B ever could).

Choosing to make "city B" play suboptimally is a strategy, to make your overall civilization more powerful. The governor doesn't have such insight, and must be disabled entirely in these situations.

That's what makes "using" the governor so hard. Its "just" a locally-optimal solver.
The only thing I'm missing there is the filename, otherwise this is a helpful error message since it tells the user what the problem is and at which stage the error occurred. Stack traces, on the other hand, are mostly only helpful to the original developer(s) of a program, they won't help most ordinary users. And while they of course include the calling context they usually don't include other crucial information like variables (e.g. the filename in the example above).

Also, raising and catching exceptions is expensive in many languages. I know that in Java it's fast, but other languages like Python produce significant overhead when creating and raising an exception, that's something one should consider as well.
Your theory seems backwards. Cut-throat competition for mating opportunities should be a strategy for the least desirable, who have the greatest need to compete for the scarce resource. If you're top of the desirability scale, you are the scarce resource, and your job is to discern the best suitor amongst the many who put themselves forward.

I agree but this is a game you can play with your customers when they actually want what you’re selling and you have market power. When you’re losing ground and customers are leaving the shop, it’s time to cut the bullshit and give people what they want.
Honestly, though, when did 'technically correct' become the baseline for messaging? If you say what's 'technically correct' even if you ignore the entire mountain of steaming horse shit right behind it, you get a pass anymore.

Why? Why is this socially acceptable? Is this different from the past, or are we just more aware of it?

Everything is using energy.

Transportation is not included in the 45% (check the link in my previous comment). And AFAIK we also need to transport vegetables, using machines for agriculture, etc.

> Vegetarianism (or better veganism) sounds like the best thing to start with.

Objectively, chicken and pork have much lower emissions than beef.

Also, removing beef consumption would increase consumption of other foods so the emissions reduction wouldn't be as drastic.
I think people that worked on these studies should lose a lot of their academic credibility, as should the journals publishing them, albeit to a lesser degree perhaps.

I believe there isn't conclusive evidence for or against a lab leak, but the studies that excluded the possibility were just carefully constructed lies for political convenience. The authors should be deeply ashamed and I don't think anyone should trust their expertise anymore.

The primary objection I'd have would be that you haven't defined "young girls" here and the age group cohort (~14-18) that we're really talking about is actually probably NOT the most fertile cohort. There's overlap of course, but that'd probably be more like 18-25. Which, in my anecdotal experience is definitely a time where young women seem to treat each other a lot better.
I don't understand how you could read the parent comment and decide that it's "blaming" teen girls, unless you are deliberately arguing in bad faith.

Teenage girls are predisposed to behave in the way described, and Facebook/Instagram is profiting by exploiting that. Nothing about the explanation above is blaming them. If anything the comment makes a stronger case for Facebook's actions being immoral.
This isn't remotely true.

Unless you use the sleight of hand that is commonly used in vastly expanding the meaning of the word "valid" to mean "the compiler can assume there is no UB".

Which, again, isn't "ignoring the situation".
I pretty much think it has nothing to do with americans sucking at fractions.

Let's face it. Quarter-pounder sounds way better. What does even third-pound mean? When I read the article title I haven't even immediately recognized it as meaning one-third of a pound.

I am sure A&W would fare much better if they introduced "bigger quarter-pounder".

There are no long term studies so calling it incredibly safe is misleading at best. What happens if some issues start cropping up in 5 or 10 years.

I am the developer of https://lekh.app When I first experimented with the web assembly, it was kind of magic for me. I had a diagramming app called Lekh Diagram (https://lekh.app/diagram.html). The core logic was written in C++ and is being used in Android and iOS apps. I wanted to make a collaborative web version of the app. Initially I thought I would have to rewrite everything in Javascript. But when I first tried to compile all the c++ code into web assembly, it was around 4M of web assembly. And the performance was awesome. I was pretty satisfied with 4M. Then I started developing the Lekh Board (web version of the diagramming app). Later in the development phase, I realized there is a flag which I can pass to reduce the size further. Then I got the web assembly size ~1M.

> There is enough garbage on the surface of the earth to worry about.

Every single time there is anything happening with space flight, there is at least one comment saying "We should literally solve every single problem here on Earth first before even thinking about anything related to space". This seems like a pretty shallow code for space flight should not happen, ever.

I've been wondering about the people who make these comments for a while, and your seems to follow a similar blueprint. I have some questions, maybe you can answer them.

What motivates this? Are you worried about Earth getting deprioritized? Is the perception that we must decide between tackling social problems/climate change and gratuitous space adventures? Are these comments a way of saying that humans should never venture beyond Earth or that we're just not ready yet? Even if you believe actual humans should never go to space, do you still believe we should have infrastructure there to support Earth?

> I’m surprised to see people disparaging natural immunity. This news about the rhinovirus is great. We should not turn our backs on any method of reaching herd immunity.

Nobody’s disparaging natural immunity, they just rightly said “I’m not sure this helps much”.

And it really doesn’t seem to, because all this research says is “if you’re infected with a rhinovirus at the exact right moment immediately before catching COVID, there might be an immune benefit (or it might trigger a cytokine storm). Catch the rhinovirus before or after that point, and there’s no immune benefit whatsoever”

Given the extremely narrow window of opportunity, you’d have to, somehow, carry a rhinovirus with you and dose yourself just before you caught COVID. It’s wildly impractical, and I can’t imagine why or how you would think this “gets us closer to herd immunity”. What the research does not claim is “having caught a cold at any point is protective against COVID”
just to add a source of the attractiveness declining less steeply:

Anecdotally, I decided not to get the vaccine. Three weeks ago, my friend who had gotten the vaccine got Covid, and then gave it to me. (He also beat me in golf that day which says a lot more about my golf than his ability to play while sick). But anyway, we both lost our sense of taste and smell, had fevers, were achy, him up until about a week ago, me up until a couple of days ago. So, perhaps he would have had an even tougher go at it had he not been vaccinated, but to me it seems we both suffered just about identical outcomes.
> Yeah, but people have a certain level of disconnect with the models, athletes, actors, and superstars you see on TV and in magazines.

I'm not really sure about it. When highschool girls wore the same clothes the Spice Girls wore, had the same haircut they had and replicated their dances, for me that's a lot of connection.

I'm sure Facebook/Instagram have a lot to be blamed for but we (not just young girls; parents, teachers, etc) need to be responsible of our actions to some degree.

I agree. Also, High streets don't have to 'die' due to excessive rent either, the government could hike taxes on vacant stores 1000% then make possession orders on unpaid premises after 18 months. Then the gov can nationalise shop rents according to reasonable incomes.
I compared it casually with the original JavaScript implementation: in both Firefox and Chrome, both JS and WASM hit max FPS easily (165, in my case, incidentally). According to Firefox’s profiler, the JS version experiences noticeably more frequent jank; Chrome’s profiler doesn’t obviously show any jank for either. In Firefox, both are around 50% idle and there’s no obvious difference in their performance, though they definitely have different hot spots. In Chromium, indications suggest the WASM is being a few percent more efficient, spending 68–70% idle versus JS’s 65–66%; it spends much less time in scripting (~17% vs. ~22–23%), but more in rendering, painting and “system” (whatever that is) which make up the balance of that 100%.

These results are utterly unscientific. You also can’t compare Firefox and Chrome’s profiling numbers to one another.

Sounds exactly like Stripe and PayPal. Arbitrarily turn you off anytime they feel like it for any reason they please.

Never build your whole business on using either or you are just a daily dice throw from being turned off.

The difference between you and TrueBill or Ramp is they have legal teams and founders/backers that have inside access and special approvals that ordinary start ups do not. Certain start ups get special treatment by the banks and payment processors because of behind the scenes actions you cannot take.

Banks and payment processors currently have the power to decide which companies can exist and which cannot. Sometimes for perceived moral or risk reasons and sometimes for random reasons. We really could use some sort of uniform legal appeals process rather than the standard of going to social media to beg for reinstatement.

The most efficient way to de-orbit the satellite is to design it with de-orbit capability built in. Satellites already have maneuvering thrusters with propellant and/or "kicker" stages to maneuver them in their destination orbit. De-orbiting capability is just some extra delta-v onboard, and a de-orbit maneuver coded into the flight computer.

"Space-tug" like services from a third-party would be vastly more expensive. The only use case would to de-orbit a satellite that for some reason failed to de-orbit itself.

Human health and hospitality?

Then they go on and list fruit pickers? And retail stores hiring staff for the Xmas onset?

Are they kidding? These are temporary jobs, probably not previously posted as done underhanded, but now there's no fruit pickers for cheap and they seek more official channels.

And drivers, yes obviously drivers to deliver the aforementioned goods.

Covid, Brexit, good luck finding the fruit pickers.

This is not an economic recovery, this is harvest and Xmas time, nothing fundamental has changed.

As for the housing prices, indeed, as you would say in England, in "the north" , you get double the house for half the price, and even better quality. It's not London though, and there's not too many jobs.

I appreciate the approach, but I do think it is probably (as you yourself warned) a "just so" story.

Teenaged girls can be mean. Teenaged boys can be mean. Adults can be mean. Members of all of these groups can be nice, sometimes transcendently kind. These behaviors can be explained without reference to ancient drives to fertility and mating, I think.

> Not one doctor mentioned anything about quitting or being short-staffed

This likely comes down to self selection. You were in Idaho, I in Jackson. Also, relatively-rural Driggs versus denser Boise having different rates of spare hospital capacity as well as vaccination. (Or seeing a doctor at their office versus off duty.) Given Idaho was flirting with crisis standards of care, I think it’s objective to say they have a problem.
I'm only speculating, but if "everyone's on instagram", maybe people don't want to be left out?

They may know that it's bad for you, just as I expect most smokers to know smoking is bad for you.

But the "badness" isn't direct, it grows, and they could think "maybe I'll be able to control it / I can quit whenever I want", whereas if you don't follow current trends (or whatever it is people follow on instagram), you're left out immediately.

Of course, by the time you realize you can't quit, it's already too late.

Not a stupid question. However, I think that this process (whether it is included in calculations or not) shouldn't contribute to the dark matter issue. Electrons and positrons are "normal" matter and if they are anywhere near e.g. a star, they will contribute to the plasma around the star and therefore be visible. Also, even if it were not visible, my intuition is that the process is too rare to produce enough mass to account for the dark matter
