The article starts with this:

>Despite at least 19 reviews of the scientific evidence universally concluding that exposure to wind farm sound doesn’t trigger adverse health effects, people continue to report feeling unwell because they live near wind turbines.

So I did a DDG search and the first thing that comes up is:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3653647/#b14-05...

Which supports the conclusion that wind turbines lead to bad health affects, and inside it has at least 10 references to other studies that showed the same health affects.

Great, of course they don't mention that their are studies that do support the bad health affect. This is deliberately trying to trick the reader into thinking that this is all there is. Of course notice their clever wording. They know that would be a lie so they don't say it, they just imply it.

>In our new study, we took 60 participants and divided them into two groups – positive and negative. We then exposed them to audible wind farm sound, overlaid with infrasound, during two seven-minute listening sessions.

This is the kind of nonsense pseudo science that is prevalent everywhere in academia these days. The people claiming to get sick do so after months of tolerating the non stop sound. Seven minutes listening obviously isn't going to determine anything. And of course if you trick people into thinking that what they are about to listen to in the next 7 minutes will hurt them, then some will claim they were hurt. It is amazing people get paid for this.

>A study released this week by South Australia’s Environment Protection Authority (EPA) once again concluded there was no evidence linking noise from wind farms to sickness among residents living near the Waterloo Wind Farm.

This is like a tobacco company doing research that shows that smoking is harmless. Also, what does it even mean. People are getting sick, people are complaining, but don't worry, a study says it isn't actually happening. What does that even mean?

>A recent analysis of noise and health complaints in Australia found that adverse health reports have coincided with negative publicity about the health effects of wind farms

This is the only good study of the bunch. But a coincidence of negative publicity and people feeling empowered to come out and complain is not the same as saying that sickness was non existent before that. Certainly it seems most people stuck next to these things are very unhappy about it. Perhaps simply being miserable all the time is enough to make one sick. If that were the case then negative publicity would empower them to complain when before they felt powerless.
When it happens, you usually say "how funny would it have been if I had interviewed again with them?"

Today we found out, it would have indeed been hilarious. (But yes, a dick move)
Depends on the posters age, many people grew up in an age of poor journalistic standards, not all of us remember the golden age.
"Haruhi" refers both to the show, which asks some existential questions in line with the article (there's one line quoted), and to the show's main character. "The subculture" in refers to the fandom, which is... you know how crazy fandoms can get, and this one got there.
> how likely is that this constraint is from their developer resource and not a platform limitation?

Of course it is, but that doesn't matter to a player who owns the game because microsoft say "Play anywhere" and "Crossplay" on their official marketing materials [0]

> Minecraft is inherently different here because they went for a re-write and chose to have two different "editions" of the game.

It doesn't really matter _why_, the fact is that it's the reality of being on an open platform that doesn't enforce these criteria. Being on a console you have to play by the rules of the platform which means that a bunch of things "just work", and those rules _mostly_ apply on PC, except when they don't.

> Links you posted are questions/troubleshoot from 1+ year ago.
The AOE2 one, sure. F1 2019 doesn't work between the MS store and Steam still. That doesn't change the fact that these issues exist on PC, and they don't on console.

The homeomorphic bijections of manifolds are fascinating to imagine, in particular.
Stop fucking apologizing for speaking against this barbaric practice, that's why their method of shame & blame against "antisemitism" works and still shields this stupidity that is called circumcision.Because they will just defend it under the pretense that the opposition is just "antisemite nazis".And it has nothing to do with it, just like the first organized religion to speak against and ban circumcision was the catholic church ( under the vast influence of roman & greek culture, which led to the reformation). Does it mean that the church was anti-semite ? Obviously no. The american myths _fabricated_ around the benefits of circumcision are almost entirely made-up and proven wrong, you can do your own research and get to whatever conclusion you want. With the rare exceptions of US & SK(arguably christianity is still not popular there but still on the rise), the vast majority of "christian countries" do not practice circumcision, so it's mainly an "american thing".

Practices like circumcision, or premature cutting of the umbilical cord should be straight out banned.Same goes for female genitalia mutilation, but that's more common in Africa/ME.
It's things like that, and the watch standers and damage control officers of the Bonhomme Richard, that make you blink about rarely-used safety organizations.

If you're not auditing your rare-action groups adherence to standards via indepdent, out-of-chain assessment, assume they're hopelessly broken.
> Scala runs on the JVM, which makes it not at all suited for scripting

The JVM is one target. You can also generate and run javascript code or create a native binary. But it will not be as smooth as e.g. python, so I can't really recommend that.

> Scala also seems to have something of a racism/white supremacy/misogyny problem.

I'm a member of that community for a long time and I really don't think so. I always thought the Scala community was a rather welcoming one. There certainly have been incidents in this community, just like they have been in other communities, but I don't think "Scala" has more of a problem here than any other language.
This is super cool. Yeah, fossil oil tech belongs in a museum, not the cornerstone of our civilization.
Rosa Parks was involved with stubbornly giving up her seat in the front of the colored section for a white woman, which "spun out of control when the feds got involved" but like Swartz she pushed her way through the Justice system to challenge unfair laws. Segregation was obviously more disgusting, but I don't like the idea that activists of the past are incomparable saintlike figures, especially when they were extremely contentious for their time. I'm sure plenty of people said that Parks was being "puerile" at the time and should have just given up her seat instead of making it an issue, but sometimes making something an issue is the only way to create an opportunity for progress.
I've had a team member fired, and then about a year later a recruiter passed their resume back to us.

We had a new manager since, so the new manager asked me if "Firstname Lastname" was the person we fired. I told them yes and that we shouldn't give the candidate the time of day.
You can tell a surprising amount about the genome from a subset of SNPs. Most germline variants occur in groups, so you only need to measure one position to know the values for that group. The variants that are chosen for the array based tests are carefully chosen to give you the most amount of information possible. If you’re interested in this, look up “genome imputation”.

For most of the tests that 23andme would want to run on a population, like risk assessment, you don’t get much more information from whole genome vs arrays. And the extra data (and noise) you get from whole genome can make association studies significantly more difficult.

Also with whole genomes, the extra cost in sequencing, storage, and processing time (all of which are significantly higher) wouldn’t be worth it from a cost/benefit point of view. Remember, most of the data is redundant or common between people, so full sequencing is really only beneficial in specific scenarios.
Is there any type of active noise cancelling device that could be installed at the turbine that would work?
Well, with training from YouTube courses you can build a site using React. With a Masters degree, you can build React yourself from scratch.

I never completed my Masters, but the grad courses I took were invaluable. That said, I already knew how to program at a professional level so I got more out of the classes.
Male genital mutilation survives in America through laundry-list persuasion. If you look at the history of the practice in America you will find that medical claims of benefit last about ten years before being debunked.

The cultural claims seem to last longer. You also have young girls growing up in a culture where an intact penis is asserted to be weird, while a mutilated penis is seen as normal.

Circumcised men are often defensive when they learn what was done to them as infants.

Mothers are also tricked into having this done to their children. Imagine trying to break the news to a mother (or father) that when they did what they thought was best for their son they were actually complicit in harming him.
Do you think most people would have an issue with their data being used in this way? I think only a very small minority of folks would -- and they're exactly the kind of person who would avoid this service from the get go.
The beg bounty hunters make it a giant PITA to report genuine security issues. Even bigger companies end up going through platforms like HackerOne instead of providing a direct security contact, and you end up having to spend time proving/explaining to triagers that you have found an actual issue. (The reason why I refuse to use HackerOne is that they require you to agree to their arbitrary terms putting unreasonable restrictions on your ability to publish your research.)

Doubly annoying when you find a minor issue where you simply don't know whether the company cares about it [1]: Do you report it and risk ending up being flagged as a beg bounty hunter, or do you skip reporting it, potentially leaving an issue open that the company may be interested in fixing?

[1] Example: a site that requires TOTP both on login and sensitive actions but allows you to reuse the same TOTP for both if you're quick.
Clever, but I think the real business model behind this has more to do with the economics of lotteries. That is, perhaps they could have pulled the same stunt without making 999 replicas but rather selling a ticket to win the Andy Warhol and ended up with same result. But then they couldn't have made their counterculture point I guess.
A prof in my Uni has also said, studying Computer Science to be a developer is like studying architecture (of the building kind) to be a house builder.

If heard from people (in France) that some were even built in their village without permits, usually with the mayor buying agricultural land and getting a fat bonus that way; of course the owner living on the other side of the village, far from any potential impact.
Carriers are very slow compared to missiles. Between the time the missile is launched and impact there will only be around ~6km in radius to the set of points where the carrier coule he.

China is making unmanned submarines and aircraft capable of targeting a carrier. It doesn't matter if your drone is shot down, for it to be shot down it's probably already close enough to detect the carrier. Same for a submarine.
The recruiter might not be from the same company and creating/sharing these kind of databases with everyone and their mother seems like a hell from the data protection/privacy standpoint.

Feels like an edge case that it's not worth fixing. How often is this going to happen? Do you really want to collect tons of personal data from your candidates before they even show to an interview? Is it worth it to keep personal data of your ex-employees just because of this and is it even legal? (might not be in EU)
There would be plenty of room around them in parks. The foot prints are not that big.
> There are also lengthy Hacker News and Reddit threads with users recounting their experiences.

For many years, the press kept HN a secret and wouldn't even link or mention it as source. Presumably to keep HN from falling into mainstream. There were lots of times you could tell they got it from HN, or even screenshot without mentioning the site.

But for the past 2 years it seems more and more mainstream media are giving direct links.

I could only wish the first rule for mainstream media is to not talk about HN. But then I guess it is too late.

The press is lazy and incurious.

"The Press" is also who exposed Theranos (and Holms) as a fraud.
How do you know it's because of privacy concerns and not because they've exhausted the market of people who want to know about this kind of info? This is very much a one and done type of product -- in fact, the reason I myself haven't gone ahead and done it is because my parents and grandparents have already gotten it done, and I've looked over their results, so I'm assuming there's very little I could learn about myself from it.
Looking at the 8008 wiki if the quotes are to be believed they were actually scared of performance. Believing that they would scare off customers buying intel memory (their main business at the time apparently) for their own in house processors. So it seems very deliberate. That said the 8008 was primarily intended for terminals where performance really wasn't a concern. But that didn't stop people from making proper mini-computers from it.

I think there would be far too much noise. The accelerometer data is going to be different based on a number of factors:

Orientation? Is the phone in your hand? Your pocket? Your purse? Front seat / back seat?

By way of comparison I worked on some automatic breaklights that trigger when an accelerometer detects you slowing down (bikes, skateboards, scooters).
It turned out to be way more complicated that we expected. Hitting potholes, naturally slowing when you go uphill, taking a turn.
I believe the point he was making was that they were/are the US's proxy wrt. foreign policy. Not being able to fly there is congruent with "does not carry even one American soldier." The thing about proxies is that you're not always in complete control of them but the benefits often far outweigh the costs. You can confirm both of those conditions by looking at a lot of parts of the Syrian Civil War.
i am not talking about asking the recruiter for a reason, but asking copies of ALL notes made by ALL employees, at ALL times of the entire process. basically everything.
> The physical shelves in a library only serve a single, small geographic area, not the whole world

What part of that sentence is not contradicted by inter-library loans? The books come off the shelves, and must be found there. They serve a wide geographic area, sometimes even the whole world (my mother was a librarian at several very specialized libraries and they participated in both receiving and giving loans involving other libraries around the world. It is true that the physical shelves in a library in (say) Germany will not be organized using DDS, but it remains true that the physical shelves can serve a wide geographic area.

And this is not even to comment on those specialized libraries that people will travel from around the world to visit. Same physical shelves, world-wide service area. These can include libraries focused on individuals (famous historical figures, for example), or academic libraries with particularly rich holdings in certain areas, or libraries that just happen to have the only instance of a set of books/documents.
According to Wikipedia "the fappening" was a phishing attack. I don't think that is a mobile specific problem.
This makes Larry Niven's Pak Protectors more plausible. In his universe, when an adult human eats a certain food (not available on Earth), it triggers their transformation into a larger, stronger, more intelligent being, evolved to protect us "breeders", along the lines of the transformation of a worker ant into a queen.

But one would think that an occasional rare mutation would trigger at least a partial transformation, so I'll guess this one will remain scifi.
Many pieces of circuitry on different scales are already 3D.
On the big side, PCBs are printed in multiple layers, going smaller we have 3D NAND flash, micro processors are very much printed in "layers" with components being connected "one story up" and those layers are again connected "two stories above". Finally you might argue on the atomic scale, individual transistors are very much 3D as well, with how source, gate and drain are constructed.
But I get your point, you can't just stack those layers ad infinitum.
A quick google search reveals that the US launched 2800000 ground attack missions during the Vietnam war, dropping 15000000000 pounds of bombs. That works out to an average of several hundred attacks per day for two decades.

I also encourage you to look at Wikipedia's List of ongoing armed conflicts [1], which lists the Israeli–Palestinian conflict as a "Minor Conflict" given its scale in comparison to the other entries.

"News" and large facets of "journalism" have now, unfortunately, become nothing more than propoganda platforms filled with opinionated narratives to paint stories. Even when they're not, they often use selection bias to choose what they do and don't report on to tote some agenda.

Part of it is due to monetary incentives of businesses that now own the media outlets. Part of it is due to what the general public has interest in and will pay for.

Like pretty much all professions, it's also become far more demanding to be a good journalist or investigative journalist due to how many stories reported on require more specialized knowledge to understand and portray correctly. The bar used to be lower and a journalist could better grasp a situation or understanding. Now, with a lot of technology and science, you pretty much need a pretty deep and well rounded background to properly understand and address issues. The general bar of education has risen, including that of deceitful people, which places even higher demands on journalists to put them in check.

Could dig further into the point but the moral of the story is that the bar is raising to a point where misinformation and disinformation have an edge due to the sheer volume of information, lack of ability for any one person to have enough understanding, and incentives to be deceitful. That means the barrier to entry cost to dig out deceit has often become too high. I'm surprised we see much of any interesting investigative journalism anymore aside from uncovering some of the more obvious and massive schemes. Forget catching clever and sophisticated deceit, you need whistle-blowers for this.
China’s plan to leapfrog foreign chip makers: Wave goodbye to silicon

I work in both Ruby and Java. I dislike how loosy goosy ruby is, but wow it's slow to write Java. Asking same or similar developers to do the sam-ish tasks in Java seems to take 50-100% as long. That said I trust the output of the java better as there's less "magic" occurring.
> didn't list provide a complete and accurate list of his previous jobs

I was always told to only provide relevant and accurate previous jobs (which evidently Firr didn't do, either) and that, ideally, each CV should be tailored specifically to the job you're applying to. Same with qualifications - don't lie, but there's no need to say you did a music GCSE if you're applying for a job at a datacentre.

Grady used to be known for something called the Booch Method for design, work that folded into UML. When I was writing my first C++ book for McGraw-Hill many decades ago, I asked Grady via e-mail for info on his design notation because I wanted to use it for my book. He was writing a book on the subject and mailed me a physical copy of his manuscript with his hand written notes on it, and answered a few questions I had. Anyway, a nice guy, very helpful!
