I can +1 this. I'm on caffeine now, but once a year or so I will "detox" from it to reset for a few months. The first days/weeks are exactly like you said.

The only difference is that after a month or so, I go back to coffee - just at a greatly reduced volume. That first cup is absolutely heavenly.
there are probably tons of people who completed a chemistry phd in that time frame who will never get a nobel.

A few years ago I picked up a pair of Etymotic MK5s [1], and I'm never going back. They're small enough to carry everywhere. They don't require batteries. They're much more effective at blocking out background noise. They can be used as actual hearing protection when I'm operating loud equipment. They don't have that problem where they paradoxically make some kinds of noise more noticeable. (Major exception: tinnitus.) And, unlike the simple on/off of ANC, I can control how much they block out background noise by fine-tuning how they're seated in my ear, so I can go anywhere from, "I want to listen to a podcast without blowing out my years, but I still need to be fully aware of what my kids are up to," to, "I literally cannot hear someone who is standing right in front of me and talking to me."

That article clearly mentions the late fee drop as a side note compared to the disruption of Netflix, and also uses the useless metric of "revenue per disc" which is OK "all else equal", but is nonsense in the context of a switch to longer rental periods / hoarded discs.

And apparently BB didn't bother to buy backup discs for hoarded discs.

Finally, it's just different, because a book checkout is a 3 week lend but a movie is 1-3 days.
You're making some low assumptions for efficiency there - 90% is an absolute low end efficiency for transformers under full and non-linear load. Transmission losses for the UK grid average 8% total - regardless of how many transformers are involved.

You also forgot to take into account that most cars don't drive 300+ miles every day. The average car drives (depending on country) maybe 7000 - 10,000 miles a year. That means it will either be fully charged rarely, or topped up a little bit every night. We don't have to have a grid which can charge every car in the country from empty every night, we just need a grid which can charge a small fraction them.

In fact, in the UK where the average car drives about 7000 miles a year, the overall average power requirement is something like 200 W. That's well within the capacity of our grid.

We will have to take care to limit the surge effect of every car being plugged in at 6pm - but that just means delaying the nightly top up of most cars until the early hours (or whenever electricity is available).

Every country has its own myths to both give legitimacy to the government and unify the people around a national project. Sure, the US is more extreme in its focus on its foundation as the core of its national myth, but is it so different from the French left rhetoric about the CNR program or the French right name dropping the founder of the (latest) republic left and right?

But, you’ve already excluded half of your potential voters.
A similar but not quite the same mechanic is fuel economy.

Let's say you have two vehicles, both doing 10,000 miles per year. One gets 10 mpg and the other 50.

Would you rather upgrade the 10 mpg vehicle to 13 mpg, or the 50 mpg to 100 mpg?

Not only should you pick the former - you should pick the former even if you could upgrade the 50 mpg vehicle to run on nothing.
I raised over 400k for Andrew's POTUS run and devoted a year of my life to running his official Reddit (104k subs at peak), then joined a SuperPAC to further his positions after the run.

The campaign team was full of fools who squandered almost every good turn received, most campaign workers were paid less than minimum wage, and Andrew eventually stole the pac's name and branding - Humanity Forward - put everyone out of a job, and then did basically nothing with the organization.

I've given so much time to this person it's insane. He's not trustworthy, he's a horrible manager of people, and he never pays off on what he promises. Just dip your toes into YangGang social media and see how his former fans act now, or the stories of abuse within the campaigns that Andrew hardly acknowledged.

Inspiring message, but I've been close enough to the sausage factory to know it's fluff.

Beware. If you are interested in this endevour do the best you can to build your own power base, do no rely on Andrew's circle to help you in any way other than a retweet.

I live in Ireland. A while after GDPR came into effect, I went about deleted a Microsoft account I didn't use anymore. Deleted it on the site, contacted support to request all data be wiped. Done. About 3 years later I get an email that it was accessed and they disabled it for illegal activity. Deleted it in the site, contacted support to request all data be wiped. Honestly think it's more worthwhile to just change the account info to garbage and leave it
Just because you want something doesn't make it a human right.

A healthy environment for people is arguably a human right.

A clean environment is not, and pathetic mental health arguments do not cut it else everyone gets whatever makes them happy.

Biodiversity is also not a human right. Have we lost our minds and not understand English words? I guess the UN has become joke and the US and Britian are correct to ignore it.

It's pretty disgusting behaviour give the billions of people missing real human rights still.
Glad to see more skeptics on here. I do 3-day water-only fasts (not intermittent, just 72 hours straight) once a month. I get very little noticeable benefit if any. For me, the benefits are all "soft" benefits - willpower practice, realizing how little I actually need to eat, and very, very minimal fat loss if I walk for 8 hours on the last day.

Do wish all the magic, memory, autophagy, cancer-prevention, more HGH things were true though, but it does seem like they are blown out of proportion if there at all.

This is a nice idea, but my problem with most of these tools is that they work with pure SQL/JS/whatever files, which isn't always the case.

For example, if you use something like myBatis, you'll probably build the SQL dynamically, which could be stored in a mapper XML file: https://mybatis.org/mybatis-3/dynamic-sql.html

Not only that, but certain frameworks have you embedding SQL inside of the main application code, when you're not using a DSL like HQL: https://www.tutorialspoint.com/hibernate/hibernate_query_lan... and https://www.tutorialspoint.com/hibernate/hibernate_native_sq...

Furthermore, there seems to be this odd separation between "regular SQL" and "procedural SQL" in some DBVSes, such as in Oracle - there you might have to use "DECLARE ... BEGIN ... END;" in certain contexts, or maybe "EXECUTE IMMEDIATE". Then again, Oracle isn't among the supported dialects, which is perfectly understandable, because of both how the DBVS is positioned, as well as because of how large an undertaking supporting it would be: https://docs.sqlfluff.com/en/stable/dialects.html

In short, the only passable tools that i've found for checking SQL are those that are integrated within the IDE, or using a specialized IDE with any plugins for specific technologies, like JetBrains DataGrip (commercial project): https://www.jetbrains.com/datagrip/

But then you run into the issue of code style preferences: some companies have style guides where you have to use reserved words in uppercase with the dev created content in lowercase, like:

SELECT some_column, another_column, yet_another_column AS one_more
FROM some_table
WHERE some_column > SYSDATE

while certain tools (like SQL Developer) are more than happy to use autocomplete which doesn't work well with that:

SELECT (start typing in "som") FROM some_table ...
Oracle will autocomplete to: SOME_COLUMN

And then you run into people's personal preferences, for example some format the columns that they want to select like this:

SELECT
some_column
, another_column
, yet_another_column
FROM ...

which makes sense when you want to edit single lines, but could have been avoided by the SQL standard allowing dangling commas, like some other languages do, for example:

SELECT
some_column,
another_column,
yet_another_column,
FROM ...

but as it currently stands, that's not possible and the other way of formatting code also tends to break linters. And since the actual formatting of SQL doesn't matter as much as it would in Python, we end up with every IDE and other tool having their own preferences.

I guess the lesson here is to avoid complexity as much as possible and just settle on whatever works.
The Tories are a coalition of three major faction: One Nation, Thatcherites and Cornerstone.

One Nation, which has tightened its control from Cameron onwards, is closer to centrist Christian democrats, who e.g. oversaw expansion of universal healthcare and welfare systems by themselves or together with the left in many European countries.

People see this as a departure for the Tories largely because the Thatcherites were in control from 1975 until Cameron.
> Very little money is saved from SSR vs CSR

this seems counterintuitive.

SSR means most processing happens on big iron inside a dc, this has to be more efficient than each user buying a new machine every few years just to have that peak js-perf needed for the latest frameworks.
The demonstration would be clearer if the "point of contact" at the start of the rotation would be marked on the smaller circle and the larger circle would be divided into 3 segments of different color. That would make it obvious that 1 rotation of the small circle doesn't trace a whole circumference of the small circle on the large one.
>It's not really materially different to paying Disney millionaires to go watch the latest Marvel movie.

I feel like it's substantially different, you are paying Disney the money to watch the movie, you don't really care about the actors or other people who worked on it.

On the other hand, twitch users pay for the sake of paying money, it's closer to something like strip clubs.
> I wish the field of psychiatry was mature and used different words for depression caused by [...]

Isn't this covered by "situational depression" (adjustment disorder with depressed mood) VS "clinical depression" (major depressive disorder), and the fact that diagnosis entails excluding physical conditions that cause similar symptoms?

None of the various depressive disorders (nor other psychiatric disorders) deal with defining a cause, but with describing a set of symptoms.

I agree with the parent that the cited "fact" is sort of questionable (along with some other things on the site even though I really enjoy it overall) because of ambiguity in definitions, assumptions, and so forth.

However, the law of truly large numbers, as you frame it, is something you experience firsthand working in high level severity hospital settings in large metro areas. There's a large enough hospital catchment area that you start to see, on a fairly regular basis, the medical outcomes of all the bizarre and unbelievable things that happen rarely to any given person. It gets to a point it's difficult to know how to explain because the details of each case would be potentially identifying given how strange they are. And yet something happens all the time. Maybe not that one thing, but something of similar impact. It gives you a distorted sense of risk.

I think you can to be honest. Or at least, the same accusation works the reverse way, you can't compensate for ecological transgressions by appealing to some other liberty. "our firms pour lead into the river, but we have freedom of speech" is less of a sound argument than it seems to people steeped in that culture.

At least with ecological concerns you can make the case that it is the base layer for all organic life on earth, you can live unfree but you can't live without a biosphere, I actually think it would make some sense for universal human rights to reflect that order of priorities. Recognizing our shared biological reality might be an easier sell for a universal rights framework than some liberal political rights not even shared by a majority of people on the planet.
Economically, neoliberalism is indistinguishable from conservativism so I’m not sure what “hardline” means (it also was certainly not Obama — he talked a good game while still murdering children with drones and funneling tax dollars to corporations hand over fist). Liberalism takes the worst parts of both the left and the right and mashes them together. You can’t divorce socialism from social progress — they are two sides of the same coin. No social justice without economic justice.
All organizations need a certain amount of idealism to work. You have to on some level believe that you're creating something valuable, doing something good in the world, or whatever.

Because people in an organization run into problems all the time, where they have a choice between doing what's best for the organization, and doing what's best for themselves. There will always be a gap.

For instance, if you see a policy that's clearly bad for the organisation (like, say, informants recruited used aggressively as a metric in the CIA, without regard to whether they would be useful or dead in a year) - do you do the thankless, risky job of trying to change it, do you just play along half-heartedly or do you aggressively exploit it to juice your own metrics to the organisation's detriment?

The CIA has an obvious problem here, in that it's a fucking evil organization with a fucking evil history. Anyone who goes along with the rhetoric that it is somehow heroic, the US' "first line of defense" etc. is either deeply cynical or horribly ignorant and naive. It's not as if the latter sort is any better employees, at best they'd be useless, at worst they will do what Snowden did when he lost his 9/11-inspired naivety.
Nobody seems to remember the time back when FaceBook forced everyone on the platform to use their real name... It was exactly the point their plan to gather data matured I believe.

This is also why many sites and apps offer verification programs as well in my understanding... Verifying a user's ID has been a practices for ages now, but it did nothing to stop the growth of disinformation because that's not what verification was for IMO.

An unregulated private company asking you for official government documentation and your real name is definitely tracking you in my opinion. Even friends commenting with your name and family associations/connections on your account can easily ID everyone.

They are not a government agency with the authority to ask people for government ID, but somehow they convinced everyone to use their real name, and it didn't stop the decay of conduct decorum on the platform, it only served to track information more accurately.

Even people who have never registered for FB are indexed by them based on tagged photos and in posts that others have made about them using their names.

They also track people based on interactions across other apps entirely not associated with FB... That's IMO why certain sites slowed and faulted mysteriously when their domain went offline.

I am willing to bet that they have a really interesting splunk (or similar tech) dashboard they can look at and search any time they want full of analytics based on almost every human on earth.

Account privacy settings have always been a very ambiguous "shell game" with FB and other social apps, and often do not work properly, what makes anyone think a "delete account" request would ever be honored by such a company that manipulates it's user base?

I also suspect that each of the major social platforms do the same type of info gathering to varying extents as well.

This is some serious "James Bond island cave villain" stuff, and whatever congressional action comes next (if anything does) may tell us where the future is going for our privacy and personal info rights... :|

NoSQL == NoCare about data integrity and consitency concerns.

NoSQL allows you to start coding fast (no need to learn any awkward 'legacy' concepts).

More importantly it allows you to kick the can down the road for all those problems old people told you about, but which you don't really believe exist.

If your project is a one off, NoSQL could be a good choice.

But if the data has any value, or especially if it is expected to outlive the original application it was coupled to, SQL is the way to go.

> might as well examine what you can learn from it and discuss it.

Thats the sort of high minded thing that WE might do here, but I worry about how this data is going to be weaponised against a whole bunch of people just trying to make a living from things they're passionate about.

I'm not a streamer (yet?) but I kind of see Twitch as this haven for a bunch of people who, until the advent of streaming, didn't really have an outlet, or an easy way to find like minded people, let alone (in some cases) make a living. I used to write off Twitch as a crazy fad that didn't make any sense to me. Then I spent a bit of time on there and realised what an awesome bunch of people (mainly) inhabit that place.

I feel very sorry for anyone caught up in this who goes onto experience some of the inevitable downsides. I can just see morons in the chat on various streams constantly bringing up how much the streamer earns (or doesn't earn) etc.
Ostensibly, ya. But really, I don’t think so.
