In the context of western commercialization

Yoga - A sequence of difficult postures

Meditation - Sitting still and quiet.

You can do that without naming them as such. Try to do as much manual work as possible, without the aid of machines. Like exercises, running, etc. That will improve health.

Taking a walk in a park, getting up early and smelling the fresh scents of the morning, having a heartful chat with kids or spouse before sleep have the same effects as meditation.

Instead of trying to improve quality of life, we have degraded quality of life, through high stress work and high anxiety life. And to compensate for it, we get into these.

In my view, both are a waste of time, money and effort.
The answer we have generally come to is based on a psudo kantian interpretation of causality. One innocent can die due to inaction, but you can't actively kill one to save many.

We don't allow nonconsentual body snachers to harvest one person to save many. Alternatively we may allocate finite funds to save several lives instead of a single life. We may also choose not to spend the money to save a life

I would imagine if the flight is 5 hours long and the eating time is only 0.5 hours, then there would only be 0.5 hours of breathing virus into the air than 5 hours of it. That being said, yes, most would be unmasked at that time and likely to breathe it in, I guess I just see overall as limiting the total amount of virus breathed into the air by requiring masks most of the time.
Thanks for all the links! Will definitely try some of them !
You reminded me of this song: https://open.spotify.com/track/2Z77xPgph4BVaW8BgzVZrp?si=c-1...

And I believe what you say is very true, although I'm one of the ones that easily move and embrace the change - I think I keep doing it for the fun and the challenge and simply out of curiosity. At least that's what I tell myself, since I've had to _really_ think if I was trying to run away from anything whenever I did choose to move, exactly because of that expression and of this song.

ps. I also went into my notes and found this gem, which I've really enjoyed reading some time ago:

It does not matter how smart we are, the virus is dumb.

As many other people realized too late, you can't negotiate with a virus. "I'm smarter than the scientists" is the wrong poker bet here (and you are risking your life for a small vanity ego boost, none less).
By "reaching", I mean inventing and posting technical objections you have not thought through, and that distract from what is important.

I commend you for following through, in the end.

The imminent maritime disaster we face arises from carbonic acid saturation at the surface by direct diffusion from the atmosphere, which is ongoing as I write this. To mitigate disaster we must focus on that phenomenon.

Thing is, to a large degree, we haven't had to before. If someone random person wants to believe the moon landing is hoax, it doesn't affect my life in the slightest. What's changed is that random person walking around with no mask and no vax. Now, a random person in a Target market a thousand miles away from me isn't literally a threat, but where that attitude is supported online and a random someone walks into my local Target, it causes me to need to care. Someone can chime in to question the underlying beliefs on the matter of Covid, but the point is this is an example of an issue where we care. There are extremist views like white supremacy or similar violent ideology that are a bit further outside the scope of discussion but are another example of why we care that enough everyones agree.
> Do you really think that if you were to look at most research done between 1897 and 1922, the overall quality would be higher?

I suspect yes, because the poor research was simply not be being done. Science was not a career, there was no pressure to publish, it was the pastime of an elite few.
That sounds wonderfully pleasant! Thank you for the kind reply.

From all the other stories on TMC, TeslaLounge etc., I think the more notable detail is that you got a loaner at all.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with a full on coupe attempting to end our democracy by capturing the VP and Congress. There has always been civil unrest in the USA since the beginning. However never has a President attempted to overthrow and subvert the will of the people in a Presidential election through a violent mob. The two things only share one thing in common "two groups of people doing violence"

YAML stands for “YAML Ain’t Markup Language”, (originally “Yet Another Markup Language”).

It it a way of storing the same kind of thing that JSON can store.

Though, unlike JSON, it supports comments, uses a python-like significant indentation, and has a few uh, things not in quotes sometimes being taken as strings, but if it is `NO` then instead, if there are no quotes, it will be interpreted as the constant false .
So how do you think this gets solved? What do you think some of the root causes are?

I've always joked that maybe G-d gave us the computer as he felt pity on us for it took 4000 years for man to calculate several hundred digits of Pi, and who knows how many great minds dedicated to hand calculating only a more "perfect circle". Didn't even Archimedes die calculating Pi?

"Nōlī turbāre circulōs meōs!" a Latin phrase, "Do not disturb my circles!". It is said to have been uttered by Archimedes—in reference to a geometric figure he had outlined on the sand—when he was confronted by a Roman soldier during the Siege of Syracuse prior to being killed.

Okay, but that comes back to the point that some scientific fields are more relevant to technological progress than others.

Getting physics and chemistry right is really essential to technological progress. How can technology advance if your physics and chemistry are wrong?

But, what about "softer" sciences, such as psychology or the social sciences? It seems you could be moving in the complete wrong direction with them, and yet still be advancing technologically – because technology largely doesn't depend on them.

And even for the "hard sciences", technology generally only depends on certain areas of them. How much of the Standard Model of physics is actually technologically relevant? Technological progress is strong evidence you've got the technologically-relevant parts of physics right, but is compatible with serious error in low technological-relevance areas. What is the technological relevance of electroweak unification, for example?

We also don't know what we are missing out on. Neuroscience is an area of biological research in which many promises of clinical translation have thus far failed to deliver. Is that because this the brain is very complicated, and we just have to wait longer and invest more before we see more results? Or could it be that we are doing the science wrong, and we'd clinically be in a much better situation now if we were doing it right? How can one tell which of those two possible situations we are actually in?

> One trick corps did for unions was to have the established union workers "sell out" the incoming workers. So the old guard gets to keep sweet benefits, pay, seniority, while new hires did not. The people in charge of the unions and the existing base would drop that negotiation, but the management knew that attrition and age would phase out the union.

I've wondered about such trends, and wondered why I as a new employee didn't get the same healthcare and retirement benefits that older "grandfathered-in" employees got. Thank you for clarifying. Finally, I understand.
Thats just not true. I found the study you're referencing and it says in 2013 mean ICU occupancy was 68%. If you zoom out on the map you'll see the US avg is 83%. Did you even look at it? Some states are like 9/10 at 100% capacity.

Staffed beds are not in decline, and of course hospitals are trying to get more workers, they are offering crazy pay incentives right now.

Disclosure: I used to work on Google Cloud (but never on Workspaces née GSuite itself).

There are plenty of companies with tens of thousands of employees using GSuite [1]. Also various governments, agencies, regulated industries and so on.

A few years ago, GSuite added improvements to Office importing (primarily Excel and PPT, IIRC) that assuaged a lot of folks. Companies still might have departments using Office (e.g., Legal still using Word for its redlining or Finance using Excel) but because you can shove them all in Drive or import them into the GSuite equivalent, most of the company happily uses GSuite for everything else.

Thanks, great answer. So it's not that sediments in the ocean can't be found so much as they don't stay around that long you'd find enough of it to be able to account for that massive glacial erosion event, due to tectonic movement?
I prefer a dial that clicks into place, that way you can feel how high or low you're adjusting the dial without looking at a display.
I’d be willing to bet that most people with the gall to do their own research will look beyond the first result that appears on the SERP...

It’s fundamentally an epistemological question: what is the ontological basis for thinking we know something?
Moon landing deniers won't read, nevermind believe, legitimate scientific journal investigations. What's needed is Buzzfeed-esque, at that level of writing, top ten reasons why moon landing hoaxers are wrong.
I have a 2016 F-150 that I only use for getting around and recreation (software eng that works from home that likes to fish/hunt/camp/hike/paddle/snowshoe). It has the 36 gallon tank and has a range of around 650 miles (+- 40 based on weather and type of driving). I use it in the north woods of New England and the Adirondacks. It's not uncommon for me to wake up at 5am, drive 200 miles, top off at the last gas station before entering the woods, and then drive 50+ miles on logging roads to wherever I'm going for a couple of days.

Having that number on the dash saying 600 miles left as I enter into remote-ish areas is so comforting. So much so that I've already ruled out upgrading to the Lightning and instead am targeting the Powerboost, which keeps my range, increases my fuel efficiency (though not by a ton) and has a world of possibilities for utilizing the battery for heating a camper or a toy hauler -- I don't have one of those but if I had a Powerboost I might consider one for snowmobile camping or ATV camping.
Or, such narratives are created, just as narratives that all politicians are corrupt, that meritocracy is wrong, as an attempt to weaken western democracies.

This is not a fact, it's a claim (may even by a hyperbole, we don't know for sure). But even at that, you're overlooking a very important perspective: there are more important and less important discoveries (results) and thus the effect of them being wrong should also be weighted. I'd also be inclined to think that the more important ones are scrutinized more and thus are likely to be right more often.

The great and unique thing with science, not ignoring the issues you've raised, is that it can correct itself. And it's better at it than everyday people are. So yep, the issues mentioned by you and others should be corrected (and some of these, like the replication issues and the publication bias, etc. are well known which means that I'm sure they are being worked on). But the general public also has to learn that science is still our best chance to understand reality.

Because most science (and thus reality) deniers usually just look at it as if it was a simple choice between "do I believe them or not" as in "do I let myself be lied to/mislead or not". Whereas the real choice is who do I rather believe? The science guy or myself (without knowing much about anything, basically). Which will give me the better results? Because when I have to make a decision (e.g. vaccinate or not) then it will be a decision between these too. (Just like "vaccinate or not" is really a decision of "contract the virus with or without being pre-immunized by the vaccine". And not "do I want to risk the side effects or not".)
> I work in a FAANG-like company. Talent shortage is real - we are having to hire entry level grads where we originally wanted experienced candidates. We are even going out of the way to hire candidates from non-traditional backgrounds and train them.

I am currently applying for an entry-level position at a FAANG company. I had "in-person" remote interviews a few weeks ago. I was told that I passed, and I should expect some "team fit" interviews the following week.

Except over the intervening weeks, I've had zero team fit interviews, because - as far as I can tell - the recruiter handling me hasn't been able to persuade even a single manager to agree to an interview. This is not a situation that screams "we are experiencing a worker shortage, and we will even lower ourselves to hire inexperienced workers that we have to train". It would tend to suggest that the company is swimming in far more applicants than it wants for every role.
I am saying Amazon is not in a position to try to rule the world, and is not evidently seeking that.

Long Refrigeration.

With the planet heating up, refrigeration will be brisk business.

I read somewhere that the is a max temperature (perhaps 50C), at which the life cannot be sustained, because the natural evaporation cooling of the body does not work anymore. Rising temperatures will make some regions uninhabitable.
The EU didn't pay the highest prices to buy all available vaccines and requested higher accountability ( https://www.politico.eu/article/europe-coronavirus-vaccine-s... )

They secured the lowest prices and have a higher vaccination rate and overtook the US by now.

But it's also comparing apples and peers. It should be more reasonable to compare it with the UK. Where the US was indeed also faster.

I think the rollout in Europe ( and others ) was actually delayed because of Operation Warp Speed. Buying all vaccines at premium prices.

Let's not forget the access to moving image culture that the network now provides. It used to be that life in a rural community doomed you if you were interested in seeing the most current and/or off-beat, international cinema, and at one point, even TV. That's just no longer the case. And the effect extends to all the "new" culture that appears on e.g. YouTube ... given reasonable internet service, you can be just as connected with all this as you would have been in NYC.

It's a change along only one particular metric, but it's a big change, nevertheless.
Perhaps you are imagining less imperfect, less egotistical, less insecure scientists in a past Golden Age of Science. I for one have stopped believing such an era ever existed, or will ever exist. But I continue to believe that the scientific process will continue to serve humanity well despite the terrible flaws of us humans attempting to apply it. Yes, I believe in the scientific process , that it will self-correct, that the attacks by bad actors and self-deluded participants will come out in the wash.

As a doctoral student I had a paper rejected because I didn't toe the dogmatic line of one prestigious reviewer (seriously, the review feedback lacked only the word "dogma"). Terrible, right? But this is a common theme over centuries as near as I can tell, and here we are, living in a magnificent future!

We will continue to benefit from the scientific process, despite all our individual flaws, and despite how easily we each fool ourselves (and sometimes others).
Of course some of us did a better job than others, but enough lived that Humanity (collectively singular) is still here, and to me it seems the only way for anyone to learn anything is via the negative image formed by all the ideas that didn’t work.

Sorry I know this sounds a little woo-woo fruity, but that’s Humanity’s godlike power to transcend the limitations of our bodies’ material dimension where energy can’t be created or destroyed.

Collectively we’re like a blockchain holding a mirror-image dimension of all the best ideas just by virtue of the other nodes not making it, growing over time as our new embodiments get to start at what from their point of view is “zero” despite being unknowably old and full of patches and bug fixes. Storage and retrieval are the same operation!

Fructose in fruit is trapped in the fibrous flesh and takes longer to digest. As it progresses through your system, a good portion is consumed by the gut microbiota so it doesn't have the same impact on your body.

It made me think of Apple's strategy with the first M1 computers; put ARM in proven, already beloved designs.
In the case of superscripts, the issue is that Markdown doesn't have a concept of nested elements.

In HTML superscript and subscript tags may simply be nested:

10<sup>10<sup>10</sup></sup>

Markdown implementations ... vary, but typically either a ^<text><whitespace> or ^<text>^ block indicates superscript. That .. doesn't permit nesting:

10^10^10

or:

10^10^10^^

... either way is ... ambiguous or undefined. HTML's start/end tag syntax wins.

More generally, where simply writing text, the notion of having bounded blocks and pairs can become confusing, especially where <div>, <section>, or <article> tags are used. I'll frequently find myself unbalanced in those. To the extent that Markdown allows me to Just F*cking Write and not worry about markup ... that's a win. Ironically, for all its reputation for fiddlyness, LaTeX's use of a double carriage return as a paragraph delimiter affords a similar simplicity to much straight prose.

Markdown extension of course vary, but my point remains that using Pandoc (my usual approach), I have as first-class ready-at-hand elements tables of contents and footnotes, both of which I use extensively. I don't have a good formula-entry capability, for which I'd turn instead to LaTeX. I'd also argue that basic table entry in Markdown beats HTML, and is moreover very easy to script given structured input, e.g., with a sed or awk one-liner.

The fact that you seem to be focusing on short content rather than longer pieces may explain some of our differences of views. My typical focus is essay-to-book-length text-heavy documents. If I'm kicking out a short HTML fragment, sure, just code it up directly. Where I'm writing a work which is not specifically intended for the Web, but which could include HTML among other formats, Markdown and LaTeX start making far more sense.

I find complaining about hypertext references to streamline discussion and avoid duplicate content a ... curious gripe in the context of hypertext-authoring tools, but power to you.
