It's important to note that the chemicals they tested with were the cannabinoid acids (CBDA, THCA). When smoking or cooking those acids are converted via decarboxylation. These final chemicals were not part of this study.

In other words, this study only tested people eating raw uncooked cannabis. It does not tell you much about whether any benefits will be provided to your average smoker.
"Misery loves company" is the antithesis of The Golden Rule, a formulation of which is "do not believe that it is so that you will find happiness in the misery of others," (I believe Seneca may have said this, but can't find the citation). I believe it is not the sadist notion, "misery loves company," that eases victims' pain, but instead "being in good company." I think "misery loves company" is a cynical twist of "being in good company," which is similar to left-handers learning of famous left-handers, or a depressive learning that Lincoln suffered from depression, reducing or eliminating feeling alone or isolated and disconneted.
It's a squeeze - and I'm getting pretty close to making me feel bad for myself. But conventional grocery stores themselves are getting pretty expensive for very normal things. A Whole Foods is not a sustainable place to shop for me. I do live within spitting distance of the currently closed Kings Soopers, so that convenience is gone - as a cyclist, there's just so much cargo I can haul at one time so having a store close is a nicety.

His presentation is not very clear & imo the way he answers the question is not actually helpful in actually understanding what’s going on, but he is correct that current will flow in the far side almost immediately. As is made clearer in the documents he shared which contain his discussions with actual physicists, that current will be much smaller than the final current that flows all the way round the circuit, but it is there nevertheless. (In fact that current will initially flow whether or not the two halves of the flat ring are connected - if you think about it things have to work like this, because the middle of the system cannot “know” whether the far ends are connected until light has had time to get there & back. Relativity is absolute.)

Take a look at the video made by YouTuber AlphaPhoenix where he constructs the entire thing on a smaller scale and demonstrates the effect with an oscilloscope: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Vrhk5OjBP8

One way of viewing what’s going on here is to consider the two sides as a pair of large dipole antennas. When the switch (or in AlphaPheonix’s case, a transistor) is turned on, a pulse of electrons is pushed down one antenna, setting up a transient wave in the electromagnetic field around it which induces a current in the opposite direction in the “receiving” antenna on the other side. This happens regardless of whether the wired are connected in a loop or not!

Physics is great.
Bankruptcy isn't a get out of debt free card. You can only get debt that you can't realistically repay discharged. The new graduate with a job at Google making $150k isn't getting their student loans discharged.

So the answer to your question is as much as I think they could reasonably repay based on their earning potential after graduation. Which is a reasonable answer to the whole problem except that it hands a huge advantage to rich kids who's parents can write that tuition check.

The issue with student loans no one talks about is that the interest collected on them is already earmaked to help pay for Obamacare and Pell Grants.

If you wonder why Democrats get so hesitant to do anything about the situation there is one of your reasons why. (there are alot more reasons but thats a decent reason)
Possibly I am an old fuddy-dud but if your engineers prefer video tutorials to written docs I think you might have hired the wrong engineers.
Here are some reasons:

- 10x more windows/virtual screens than PCs & Laptops

- Persistent ("always on") computing wherever you are able to walk and think.

- Promotes better posture (you don't have to sit hunched over a laptop screen, but have more freedom of movement).

- Better work immersion/focus than PCs & Laptops. There's something about having the world around you blocked out and just focusing on your work (though Simula will support an AR mode via front cameras when you need to see things).

Though I am biased, there is also great aesthetic appeal to working in "The Future". From Iron Man to The Minority Report, our Sci-Fi has been promising us for decades a future of always-on spatial computing with omnipresent screens. Working in a VR Computer allows you start to experience that future.
So take your information from reports that make the CCP look bad, like the extreme measures taken when an outbreak is detected.

I the power level of these engines is difficult to comprehend. The fuel pump has thousands of horsepower. Compare this to the fuel pump on a car engine, which is a tiny little electric thing. The combustion power must be in the gigawatt range.

Edit: the SSME high pressure fuel pump turbine produces 63000 hp (46 MW). There's also one for the oxygen, and a pair of low pressure pumps as well. Crazy...

Edit edit: the fuel pump transfers 155 lb/sec of liquid hydrogen. If fully combusted (142 MJ/kg), that would release 10.0 GW of heat per engine.

So does an omicron infection compared to delta, even to the unvaccinated. I am not an anti vaxxer, I have two doses of Pfizer in me. The vaccines are simply going to be obsolete in a matter of weeks/months because everyone is going to have gotten and recovered from omnicron at that point. It’s that contagious, it’s futile to try to avoid it. Get vaccinated if you are scared and move on with your life.

> These things probably could actually be resolved by governmental regulation.

They could, but I wonder if it would actually improve the state of things. We would then need to increase the size of the bureaucracy (in the government and in each institution that does any of these things) to meet these regulations, and given that a bureaucracy becomes less efficient with size it may not actually make things any cheaper.

Does this objection require that there be markers that predispose someone towards being a survivor of sexual assault? There probably are, but I'm sure that's not politic to say.
Yes, and upon assuming a seat of power, I think it's reasonable to expect a politician and their close confidantes to divest of their ties to the market that the politician wields undue power over. As in, they can sell it, on the open market. Nobody's property is being taken with undue compensation. Unless they violate the law, and then it's subject to ordinary forfeiture of assets used in the commission of a crime.
I actually think the (backer) price is about what I would expect for what you get.

Minor nitpick: fluids are not either liquids or gases, this is particularly true for rocket engines where many of the discussed processes (injection, compression, regenerative coolant flow) actually occur at super- or transcritical conditions.

Also, I don't think you can say the faceplate is heat sink-cooled. Remember that just behind it is the propellant manifold, so it's rather some form of regenerative cooling.
Portability is a huge one for me. Having vast screen real-estate plus immersion seems great for roaming.
Certain criminal convictions (like rape) prevent you from being accepted by the bar. Most people don't go to law school when they know they are ineligible to actually practice law (even if a law school actually accepted a convicted rapist).

The Key to Successful Code Reviews (2018)
> Are Colleges and Universities pocketing the money?

They are. Why wouldn't they? Kids and parents can get massive loans from the government, it would be silly for universities and all their admin staff to pass up the opportunity to enrich themselves.

Universities have started to compete on which ones have more gyms, clubs, luxury dorms, various interest groups. Well, the basket weaving club needs an instructor, a secretary, a janitor, a new facility, a maintenance person for it etc. Some of them may be friends and cousins of the existing administrators, but you're not supposed to notice that too much.

I couldn't stop laughing when I visited my alma mater, a decade later and seeing how they had build a brand new gym with a huge lazy river around it. In my head I could hear the enthusiastic tour guide "Your child can type their homework while floating around in a lazy river, isn't that great!". But then, of course, I realized that it was my tuition that has paid for the lazy river.
They care so much about dorms and the food programs that schools have to mandate that the student live on campus and pay for on campus food their first year!

I was a partner at a local web agency for 7 years. I have been running my own agency for 15 years. I've worked with hundreds of small local clients. I've launched hundreds of websites, small software projects as well as worked with these clients on marketing etc. I will be doing this for at least another 5 years. I'm successful, but I'm not rich. I work with my wife (who probably represents 65% of our revenue - she rocks), I've had employees in the past but currently don't and don't want them.

If you want to chat, drop me an email (email in HN bio)

1. Don't take on new services outside your wheelhouse just because "you can" which is common in tech.

2. Don't charge clients using confusing terms.

3. Get money up front, don't waste your time with people who want work on spec or propose weird payments terms.

4. Don't hole up and avoid your phone/email.

5. Don't be inconsistent. Have regular hours, pick up the phone, answer your emails and stick to it! Your local reputation will build and competitors will come and go.

6. Working with a board of directors or a website "committee" is ALWAYS a nightmare. Price accordingly.

7. Town/gov projects are a giant pain, but can mean solid recurring revenue.

8. Don't waste time on huge RFPs. The longer the RFP, the less time I invest!

9. Be weary of an entrenched local competitor who wants to "help you". I had a "retiring" competitor send me his worst clients and he didn't retire.

10. If your fees are low, the clients that hire you at that low rate will never accept a higher rate.

11. F*ck your NDA! Sorry this isn't Reddit, but avoid signing any and all non-disclosure agreements.

12. Having an office helps. We started at home, and for 6 years worked "virtually". Meeting with local clients was a pain so we got an office. Huge difference in perception. I still like working from home better, but having the space to meet and impress benefits greatly (you can charge more).

Final note: All my clients are business owners. It's really rewarding and enlightening to work with them. I learn so much, and teach them so much. The relationships I've made will last for years/decades. Also, after 21 years I can't wait to... not have clients!!!
Not only that, but depending on which state you are in in Germany (and Austria) you get routed at around 4th grade. If the teachers decide that you are academically fit for it then you go on to the Gymnasium, which prepares you for college, often with some focus for your class (e.g.: mathematics, arts, or science). If those same teachers decide that you are not up to college, but are still smart enough for something skilled, then you go on to Realschule, which still has some focus on academics, but is steering you to something like being a secretary, or a generic office worker. And finally there is the Hauptschule track. Here you are being groomed for something more involved with labor. The academics are not nearly so rigorous, and there is almost always the expectation that you will be steered into an apprenticeship for the final 4 years of what we (in the U.S.) would have as High School. Some of these apprenticeships can be quite prestigious (e.g.: the BMW technician school in Munich), but many of them are pretty pedestrian (e.g.: learning to run agricultural equipment).

For most people this routing when they are 10 (or so) decides what routes are open to them later in life. There are exceptions to this (my host sister went to Realschule, and later took the Abiture, the the test that got her into college), but they are pretty rare.

I have always been a bit leery of choices made so early in life, but it works pretty well in Germany.
So, it apparently also has some strong opinions, a high opinion of itself, and wants to play chess instead of code.

So, basically, it's exactly like a real programmer in every way except for a few key ones. I wonder what its preferred food choices are.. and if it likes Almost Pizza(tm).

> You will not be paying 30K a year for OSU e-campus. More like 10-15K a year or so.

Yeah, last time I looked it is the same tuition as if you were using the in-person facilities. I think that's too much for an online program. I paid less than $10K for my master's degree at Georgia Tech. That works out to about a third of what OSU is charging for the online undergrad CS degree, if my math is right. For online videos recorded once and watched many times, I think it should not cost anywhere close to what sitting in a room with a professor does.
Is it telling that there is no breakdown by gender? Men seem to have been abandoning education for a while now.
It is a problem, but not the problem described in the article, and not the leading problem.

From the article:
>> "This result is consistent with a large body of evidence that pay has only a moderate impact on employee turnover. ... In general, corporate culture is a much more reliable predictor of industry-adjusted attrition than how employees assess their compensation."

In short, as with many other stories, what most commonly leads people to quit is bad management, and often specific bad managers. Obviously when pay is tool low and uncompetitive, that'll also create problems. That's also why the major law firms have associate pay in lockstep with big growth that more than doubles their pay in 5-7 years, by which time they're either on Partner track or out. So, yes it would be smart for firms needing engineers to follow suit.
At least in a house loan they will check your income and job before giving you the loan. For college they will give anyone a loan for an immense amount of money without verifying anything.
I was thinking the exact same thing but I've read so many of these utter nonsense articles recently that I rarely even bother to comment on them anymore.
Who knows. Maybe they're written by a bot with a job-creation agenda. It's just cringe.

I think your intuition is right, the world economy seems to have been hollowed out. Look at medicine, the media, big tech... They all suck. It seems as though they've been promoting idiots intentionally and now idiots are calling the shots.

> In the U.S. it's illegal to ask an applicant's age,

Common misconception, but it’s not true except in a few states.

Age discrimination has a very specific legal meaning, and it doesn’t apply at all below a certain age threshold.

Even when age discrimination is in play, simple asking about age (except in those few states) doesn't constitute discrimination. You have to prove that age was a deciding factor in choosing against the hire, which is actually much more difficult than even just proving the question was asked.
Earlier, you mentioned predictions. Tell me more about that.
The ways the research team engaged the study participants over 23 years is admirable, creative, and fascinating to understand.
> Looking at the details of the article I still can't see what the breakout feature is that keeps me from just getting an Oculus Quest and using the Immersed app to do basically the same thing. The biggest "negative" the article seems to be focusing on is that you need a Facebook account to use Oculus Quest but I don't see many limits on the basic experience.

Compared to a Quest/Immersed combo:

* we offer significantly higher PPD (and better optics with no ghost images, Fresnel rings, etc.; but that's hard to quantify) than any other headset on the market except super-high end ones. You would not be able to read text on a Quest like you can on a normal 27" monitor; you can with our headset.

* Immersed does not do window management. We support unlimited, actual windows. Immersed only does a handful (up to 10 at reduced resolution? need to check) virtual displays, which is pretty annoying from a UX perspective.

* Immersed needs to be tethered, which is reduced quality and higher latency due to the WiFi connection.

Interesting. Personally I feel that markdown is a far better editing experience, but that's mostly just a bias towards simple tools. If the confluence editor didn't huff, puff, lag, and choke on even simple documents, I might be able to bear it. But when it takes sometimes multiple seconds for a keystroke to register in the editor, I get so infuriated I just don't bother.
While this is true, not all of the exterior volume increase resulted in more passenger space. Crumple zones and other crash protection force automakers to add what is effectively a lot of dead space in the frame and body, and since shrinking the interior is generally frowned upon that extra volume instead causes the exterior to balloon outward.
I've noticed a correlation between heavy herb smokers and not getting the virus or having mild symptoms. People that primarily do hash haven't had the same benefit, which is kind of weird. This is all anecdotal.
