This is somewhat correct, but talking about only one class of experiment (Cherenkov detectors).

Indeed it’s the child-particles of the interactions that are observed, so, electrons muons and Tau particles. Depending how you are measuring, (many approaches) these interactions are generally separable - and usually you can get some directionality out of your measured event - so you know the direction it came from.

Combining the direction with timing - with an accelerator you know exactly when the pulse of neutrinos were produced - this means you can exclude a very large amount of background.

Some background does get through, but you can measure it with e.g. the source turned off as you suggest, or the times when you know the source isn’t otherwise producing (like in between pulses) to get a background rate. You then generate enough data from the source to effectively “drown out” the background.

Much the same can be done with reactor sources - very often when building an experiment with a reactor as a source, there will be some government-level agreement to allow knowledge of what power the reactor is being run at, as well as shutdowns.

Along with Cherenkov, there are and have been scintillator, chemical-energy-deposition, Photographic film and even ocean-audio based methods of detection. Probably some more exotic ones I am forgetting also.

(I did a PHD in neutrino physics, although been out of the field a few years)

My personal theory (picked up by reading a variety of sources) is that people who believe in conspiracy theories have some natural propensity to see agency behind every random event. It may be some form of pareidolia [1] or Apophenia [2].

> I heard they are paying something between $0.20 (eu/us) to $10 (exotic) per TB based on the region of the world where the traffic is coming from

They're likely paying even less. $0.20/TB ($0.0002/GB) is aggressive but at their scale, connectivity and per-machine throughput, it's lower still.

A few points to take home:

- They [Netflix, YT, etc] model cost by Mbps - that is, the cost to deliver traffic at a given peak. You have to provision for peaks, or take a reliability/quality of experience hit, and for on-demand video your peaks at usually 2x your average.

- This can effectively be "converted" into a $/TB rate but that's an abstraction, and not a productive way to model. Serving (e.g.) 1000PB (1EB) into a geography at a peak of 3Tbps per day is much cheaper than serving it at a peak of 15Tbps.

- Netflix, more so than most others, benefits from having a "fixed" corpus at any given moment. Their library is huge, but (unlike YouTube) users aren't uploading content, they aren't doing live streaming or sports events, etc - and thus can intelligently place content to reduce the need to cache fill their appliances. Cheaper to cache fill if you can trickle most of it during the troughs as you don't need a big a backbone, peering links, etc. to do so.

- This means that Netflix (rightfully!) puts a lot of effort into per-machine throughput, because they want to get as much user-facing throughput as possible from the given (space, power, cost) of a single box. That density is also attractive to ISPs, as it means that every "1RU of space" they give Netflix has a better ROI in terms of network cost reductions vs. others, esp. when combined with the fact that "Netflix works great" is an attractive selling point for users.

> Calorie surplus + high carb diet leads (via contributing to or exacerbating various metabolic conditions) more and harder to resolve obesity than the same calorie surplus with other macronutrient composition.

No it doesn't. High carb diets only make obesity more likely because they make it more likely that you'll have a calorie surplus.

That's because their “landing pages” (project advertisement websites) aren't instances. The home page of any instance (e.g. https://diode.zone/) will show you the content visible from that instance.
Did you mean responsibly instead?

A sibling comment posted a link on this and I just submitted a similar article myself. The twist seems to be to extract the heat/energy from the side or from below the magma chamber to not destabilize the ceiling of the chamber. That's because rock becomes more brittle when cooling down. Triggering a supervolcano eruption instead of preventing it would be a very unfortunate outcome ;)
I'm guessing you mean responsibly, as we all know the answer otherwise.

I'm just an internet rando, but I think that if they could identify spots that were remote enough to not impact the park features, and to design it from the start to address all other concerns (like handling waste water etc), disrupting nature, it could be done.

The Test That Terence Tao Aced at Age 7
They aren't more or less the same around the globe. It is a very western, and relatively recent social structures we believe to be true everywhere. What is the same global, for the most part is the capitalist model adopted because of it's success and power over other models. You get a pay for your labour that is negotiated with your employer who keeps a company afloat and pays dividends.

The social aspect is vastly different in many countries where the shareholder and employer, or at least the manager treat its employees nearly like family. Yes you get a pay cheque and profit is the ultimate goal, but the bond between workers is so strong it influences business decisions. Some will hire a less competent candidate simply because he is close to the worker community, it provides trusts and reinforces the "family" structure. Japan is mentioned, but it applies similarly to most countries in Asia, and to some degree other continents as well. It is often not spoken of or display, or accounted for explicitly. Humans develop and break those bonds as things go along.
Admittedly, I’ve had a very unusual experience on Tinder. Attraction is important, but it’s not the be all end all for me, as there are way more important things. That being said, I also know I rank pretty high on their scoring mechanics, based on the characteristics of who they show to me, and how I am shown to others (for example, Tinder primes people to swipe right by showing a high scoring user when you first open the app, many close friends have informed me “Tinder keeps showing me you when I open the app”, but there are other considerations you can use to assess your internal score). So I match with interesting choices on other attributes. And of the crowd I match with I have built a workflow to manage the volume (literally, I have over three thousand matches as of writing this, historically a total of over 7,000 in the year and a half I’ve used the app) — I reverse engineered their API so I could pull the matches and messages and create JIRA tickets automatically so I could bucket conversations based on initial intentions. It sounds pretty horrible once I write that out, but on the other hand I feel it’s pretty horrible that people don’t get a fair shake because of the way this game is rigged, and this ensures better “fairness”, at least in some way. Also not to mention, about half don’t message first, and of those that do, about a fifth of the time they’re pretty unsavory openers.
I hate articles like this because it drops the nuance of the work being done. It's so much complicated than people are lazy now.

To your point, I think everyone has been getting tighter and tighter schedules. To be fair to the author, they could even be a good example of this. Where there's so much nuance to this topic they have deadlines, do they deep dive and outline possible effects and differences, maybe find some other seemingly unrelated studies to compare economic conditions? Or get the writing equivalent of the MVP out, so we can have these conversations about the nuance of it and just drive more traffic to the article in the process.
Yes, because generating infinite amount of debt is fashionable now. All that Republicans try to do is to stop the US from following Venezuela's footsteps. Unfortunately, it might already be too late for that.
This isn’t true of Mastodon or Pixelfed instances (or wasn’t when I tried running one).

I did my own research. I read about mRNA vaccines, looked up how they worked, searched for credible safety data, etc. I decided to get the vaccine and thought the tech was rather cool.

The problem isn’t doing your own research. It’s failing to understand or discern and falling for sensationalism.

You have to either know enough to understand the primary material or know enough about the nature of expertise to discern who likely knows what they are talking about.

If you can’t do one of those things then you’re better off not trying to do your own research.
How to Tell If Your Cat Is Sick (2018)
We will compare the Sweden and their death toll to the other Nordic countries: Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland.

We will look at the data available here: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1104709/coronavirus-deat...

Sweden has lost almost 15000 people. Fifteen thousand.

If Sweden had done like each of these countries, the number people they would have killed would have been like so:

Denmark's measures: 4628 lives lost instead of 14760. 10131 people killed unnecessarily in Sweden.

Finland's measures: 1961 lives lost instead of 14760. 12799 people killed unnecessarily in Sweden.

Norway's measures: 1618 lives lost instead of 14760. 13141 people killed unnecessarily in Sweden.

Iceland's measures: 936 lives lost instead of 14760. 13823 people killed unnecessarily in Sweden.

Let's compare with New Zealand too: Sweden could have lost only 56 people. 14703 people killed unnecessarily in Sweden.

AT LEAST TEN TO THIRTEEN THOUSAND PEOPLE WERE KILLED WHO DIDN'T HAVE TO DIE. Those lives are gone. Those people won't come back.

Please by all means keep writing these deranged articles about how Sweden's handling of the pandemic wasn't a complete disaster. It's great to know who the absolute psychopaths are.

Reddits conspiracy channel is the best. But it's absurd we have to be called conspiracy theorists to have an intelligent discussion these days.

As other people point out, a lot of the efforts seem a little half assed - rebranded marketing materials or simply boring.

I'm working on a simulator platform that leverages dapps built on Ethereum on a testnet to teach various financial concepts, and then abstracting away the complicated defi/blockchain gibberish to better reflect the real world.

Yield farming -> high yield bank account

NFTs -> buying illiquid assets like art or a house

altcoins -> buying stocks

p2p transactions -> cashapp/venmo

eventually there can be a way to surfacing more blockchain related concepts, but you can go quite far even with this simplified model. Ultimately, it'll be a lot more interesting than reading a book or watching a video.

Email is in bio if you think this is interesting and want to talk more.
Interesting… so it would not simply connect another device using dhcp?

I never needed to use it and I’m not sure what was the motivation to introduce it into hdmi, but requiring cooperation would explain why it wasn’t used widely.
The channel in this post has 20 YouTube subscribers and no more than a couple thousand total YouTube views.

> My hypothesis is that if Netflix/Youtube hadn't stressed out our bandwidth and forced the ISPs of the world upgrade for the last decade, the world wouldn't have been ready for WFH of the covid world.

Couldn't agree more.

We see the opposite when it comes to broadband monopolies: "barely good enough" DSL infrastructure, congested HFC, and adversarial relationships w.r.t. subscriber privacy and experience.

When it became worthwhile to invest in not just peering but also last-mile because poor Netflix/YouTube/Disney+/etc performance was a reason for users to churn away, they invested.

This isn't to say that this is all "perfect" for consumers either, but this tension has only been good for consumers vs. what we had in the 90's and early-mid 00's.

Perhaps the title of this article should be "I had an allergic reaction to my 1st shot and am unwilling to have a 2nd shot of any COVID-19 vaccine".

In BC, you don't need to use the same vaccine for each shot to be considered fully vaccinated. This person is expected to switch to a different COVID-19 vaccine for her second shot.

In the article if you look at the Twitter post shown, it shows a "Valid contraindications and deferrals to COVID-19 vaccination" which states the following:

"The following are NOT contraindications to COVID-19 vaccination:
History of an anaphylactic reaction to a previous dose of mRNA or adenovirus vector vaccine. Such individuals may receive their 2nd dose using vaccine of the different type.
History of an anaphylactic reaction to any component of one type of vaccine. Such individuals may receive vaccine of the different type."
That’s in the right ballpark, I believe.
And it provides a clearer feedback mechanism. Maybe give promotions / tenure to the juice inventors (in this case, Robert Cade's team)?

This the article doesn't succeed in doing. It's so focussed on the rhetorical aspects of rubbing the nose of MSM in the failure of their claims, which in and of itself is OK, that it doesn't invest enough to succeed in its attempts to argue for its claims beyond that. While I narrowly agree with many of the criticisms, I don't think the article justifies any wider conclusions beyond "be skeptical of media narratives". I'm not upvoting this story.

Third possibility: Full-time work allowed employees to scrape by but provided them little more than that. They neither have a home to call their own nor do they have any possessions worth mentioning. Health care coverage is often absymal on top of that. Why work full-time for that? You can have all that living a homeless/drifter lifestyle, working odd jobs here and there.

Which part of the system is transparent? The smart contract?

Despite the name, a smart contract is just a software program. It is not a legal contract nor is it recognized as such in a court of law. As such it has no legal force.

When that changes, I’ll sit up and take notice. Until then, the crypto folks are just spinning their wheels pretending one is like the other.

There are at least hundreds of implementations of XMPP that are interoperable (at 5-6 actively developed server implementations, many more libraries and many client applications). There are at least hundreds of thousands deployed XMPP services.

In addition XMPP can be linked with other protocols/networks via bridges/gateways. Some examples:

- Spectrum: XMPP gateway project based on libpurple (support for many protocols): https://spectrum.im/

- WhatsApp bridge: https://git.eta.st/eta/whatsxmpp

- Telegram bridge: https://github.com/codingteam/emulsion

- Signal bridge: https://gitlab.com/nicocool84/slidge/ (replacement of https://gitlab.com/nicocool84/spectrum2_signald/ )

Given such a diverse ecosystem of open-source and proprietary implementations, I'd say XMPP is one of the best examples of widespread protocol interoperability that there is.

I'd like to give a bit of perspective on what "smart voting" actually does and why there's reason to dislike it even if you dislike current Russian government.

Let's say there is a niche party or organization, which is ineligible to participate in the elections. So they get this bright idea: let's figure out who's the most proficient challenger in every district and recommend people vote for them. Seems like a decent way to shift the scales, but with plain majority voting the plan would not change the winner, only the margin he'd win by.

The key point is though: those challengers are working hard to improve their election results, in many cases they are really nice people who really want to do some good (in many other cases, they want to do some good only to themselves, but that's beyond the point). So they campaign and meet people and talk and generally work hard to get their ideas to the public. On election night they manage to snip another 5 percent points on top of their previous result from the juggernaught which is the local United Russia's candidate. They did good, right?

What happens now is that instead of talking about how they worked hard and tried to do some good and whatever, suddenly people start tweeting and telegramming about a great success for "smart voting", which is deemed the only reason the opposition candidate has improved his percentage. People talk about how the niche party (which has done nothing apart from distributing a list of names) is the actual "people's winner of the elections" as they managed to "kick UR's ass" and "make Putin afraid". They don't talk about the challenger candidates, those become puppets for "smart voting" after the fact and without any option to not participate.

Now imagine you are this hard-working opposition candidate, robbed of your accomplishments in the public eye. What would you think of "smart voting" and people behind it?
I think hosts learned to post very clearly if they were not looking for dates. That way potential guests would not misunderstand acceptance (for a place to stay) as also being a potential for romance. I saw plenty of host profiles that were very clear on their disinterest in romance. I did not see any profiles that said "looking for dates", as I'm sure that would not have worked out well... imagine the emailed photos they would receive...

But in her case, she was super alpha female (gay), and I _think_ she had an eye for people who would be receptive to that. But she was also very cool, so I'm sure if she didn't get the right vibe she wouldn't push something that would become awkward.

From my background, I wouldn't have advised single women to host men. But two of the people who hosted me were single women, so I guess they were just more comfortable (or perhaps Swiss people are less accustomed to bad behaviors?
I also have one more theory which is that this effect can be caused by the network aspect of Facebook. Maybe I haven't been interested in a specific topic, but one of my friends was. And Facebook is serving me ads because they were relevant for my friends so they might be relevant to me. And the conversations where I heard about a topic are a consequence of that same thing -- one of my friends is interested in a certain topic.

I don't know how valid it is though. But it could contribute to the whole thing I guess...
