They called this "entrapment", but I don't think this really qualifies. A student searching in a way where the honeypot shows up was already attempting to cheat, they weren't tricked into it. It's not like the exam software subtly recommends going to these fake sites to students having difficulty. There may be ethical questions, but it doesn't seem to be creating "fake cheaters".

Hard-core/irrational environmentalists hate pumped hydro and really any large hydro projects.

Some of this likely stems from a massive gaffe some years ago when California regulators demanded a certain percentage of state generation come from environmentally-friendly sources. PG&E laughed because it already had the largest hydroelectric portfolio in the US and didn't have to change anything. Democrat leadership, angry because they didn't find a way to punish the largest utility in the state, promptly recategorized large hydro as Very Naughty.

Does hydro have an environmental cost? Sure, so does everything. Is it a great way to generate and store electricity? Yes. Does that matter to lawmakers? No.

>For that fusion budget you could develop very viable commercial molten salt (or molten salt cooled) nuclear reactors.

Could you, though? Look at the "Nuclear Energy" category. It is entirely devoted to fission reactor research and has a 1.85 Bn USD budget. That's a SPARC every year. Where are the LFTRs on the grid?
I have always been aghast at the destruction of Japanese history/culture/artifacts that occured due to this...

Japan is one of the most unique histories in the modern human civ timeline...

So much was destroyed during the fire bombing of Japan that humanity will never get back.

The fun part is that android.permission.INTERNET is something you have to declare in your app's manifest, otherwise any and all networking for your app will be blocked by the system. It has existed since the very first Android version. This permission is automatically granted by the system upon app installation. So the only thing missing is this permission being a runtime permission that the app has to request and user has to grant.
Also adding this next to my paletton bookmark, amazing work indeed!
They'll push it as an ad pop-up, is the problem.

Modern Firefox borders on being adware, like Opera was back when Phoenix was first released. And it's more aggressive about pushing ads than that ever was. At least those were constant and stayed in a little banner area, rather than interrupting you while you're trying to do stuff.
>You'd have to convince me (with references of supporting and opposing works) that this is the mainstream view for historians outside the US.

Thank you for speaking for me and most of the world. I assume you have "references of supporting and opposing works"?
Do you think the Soviet Union would've just stopped at pressure or do you think they would've steamrolled through Japan just like they did in Germany?
Hmm yeah I'm really not sure what the issue is here. Maybe try contacting support on their forums if you've not already. I never really used the right click menu and never needed to so far since the suggestions have always worked so maybe there's some other problem you're facing

> While any bombing is tragic, the atomic bombs are not worse than other.

Maybe I misunderstood, but I think atomic bombs are much worse because using atomic bombs you can destroy a whole country in a matter of minutes.
Thanks for taking a look. I have 3 points to emphasize.

(1) What it is isn't as important as how you get there. You get there by "unfolding" the inner trigrams, which is a big hint, artistically.

Artists care alot about working with internal meanings. If I wanted to describe something unfolding, I'd use this.

(2) It looks like a guideline for creating the blocktime universe. Each number corresponds to a major stage of the "unfolding" of the universe.

(3) The methodology is just "this looks like". There's no equations involved. Just ravensmatriceslike thinking. You have to dumb yourself down.

...

I'm excerpting away the less important details — just shooting the shit to see what interests you & going from there if you'd like.

...

— *** mathematically means that if you unfold the inner trigrams of 27䷚ 28䷛ 29䷜ 30䷝ & 55䷶ 56䷷ & 59䷺ 60䷻ & 61䷼ 62䷽ *** by 432 + 543 (& not by 543 + 432), you'll get back 61䷼ 62䷽ *** (& not 27䷚ 28䷛) — which is reminiscent of the inescapability of the singularity — once you're past the event horizon, you're gonna keep falling towards the singularity but you'll never reach it

— if you unfold the inner trigrams of the "children" (by 432 + 543) of the digit length 8 equivalents of 55䷶ 56䷷ & 59䷺ 60䷻, you'll get some of the children (by 543 + 432) of 37䷤ 38䷥ 53䷴ 54䷵ 39䷦ 40䷧ — which is reminiscent of hawkings radiation, quantum tunnelling, er = epr, etc.

— generally, when you unfold by (543 + 432) you get how things should develop in linearish time, but when you unfold by (432 + 543) you get extra information about how especially important phenomena (marked by repeating *s) lead into other especially important phenomena

...

— the glogs.zm file shows how 4 simple logic gate operations produce 4 sets of possible interpretations, (absolute beginning, absolute end, relative beginning, relative end), but it doesn't mark out any phenomena as particularly important except by oddity

...

— if you're ok with this methodology & you're interesting in seeing it totally fleshed out in more formal philosophicalish but not mathematical language, i'd be happy to write it all out just for you

but i have to make zeminary tensors first

— yeah it is hard to read, i think of this as a very crystallized cheatsheet or inspiration sheet, but now that i know what's up, i can expand each point linearly exegetically
The problem nuclear has is that if you build something that can last literally half a century and more, the operational environment has changed so much.

People consider 'nuclear' to be nuclear built many decades ago with technology principles from even a few decades earlier.

Building something that has such long term aspirations is inherently problematic.

At the same time, if you turn them off, how much of the replacement will be fossil?

If you actually had a carbon price, would they still not be competitive?

Nuclear is truly in a sad state. And those reactors if turned down can't easily be replaced with any next generation designs because they don't exist as a practical product right now.

I think in 100 years people will laugh at as saying things like 'They had all the technology needed back then, why did they use it so badly'? I think that future will be nuclear fission powered, and not sun and solar powered.

All this study has shown is that lots of very specific antibodies are produced via vaccination. We already know those antibodies aren't very robust (targeting just a few epitopes on the spike protein). Naturally produced antibodies, however, are robust and target epitopes across multiple proteins including the spike protein.

Additionally, this study isn't looking at any other aspect of our immune system, only antibody levels. We already know antibodies aren't the end-all-be-all of immunity.
That's fine. The alternative is the problem that authoritarian oligarchies have.

Frequency is measured in hertz (Hz), where 1 Hz means 1 cycle per second, 440 Hz means 440 cycles per second etc.

Periodic sounds above about 20 Hz are perceived is being `pitched'. Our perception of pitch is logarithmic. I.e. if you keep multiplying the frequency of a sound by the same number we perceive the pitch as going up in equal steps.

For example, to go up (an equally-tempered) semitone (aka half step or half tone) — which is usually the smallest pitch distance used in music — you multiply the frequency by 2^(1/12) (roughly 1.059463).

To go up an octave in pitch, you multiply the frequency by 2. But going from the pitch A3 (220 Hz) to the note an octave higher, A4 (440 Hz), sounds like the same `size' of increase in pitch as going up an octave from A4 (440 Hz) to A5 (880 Hz), even though you are now going up 440 Hz instead of 220 Hz for the previous octave.

The use of a fictional character deprives this of value. Of course Columbo gets a lot of benefit from his "Oh, just one more thing..." schtick. Columbo is the hero of a detective mystery series. If Columbo didn't solve the mystery in an hour (less commercials!), or if Columbo used the same methods as other contemporary TV detectives, the show wouldn't have been successful.

The question is, can you, an ordinary human, in ordinary circumstances where almost everything is beyond your control, gain benefit from this technique?

There's a similar problem with "$N business lessons of ${HISTORICAL_FIGURE}" - you're not going to invade Russia, or lay siege to Vienna, or conquer the Gauls. Your situation is entirely different. What Napoleon or Saladin or Boudicca are reputed to have done is almost certainly beyond you, and instead is being used to puff up an article containing entirely mundane and well-worn advice.

>Being married implies some marrying happen. You're just playing semantic games.

I'm not playing fucking semantic games. I'm telling you your sentence is straight up wrong. I already get what you mean. We can end it here. But your usage of the term marriage HEAVILY implies causation and that's what I thought your meaning was when I read your language.

Obviously you meant different. BUT my technical guideline will help you prevent future misunderstandings. If your logic and technical language is bulletproof then your entire argument will be as well.

>Sure, you can backtrack and it becomes a population observation rather than a racist rant about what white women will ONLY choose.

What's wrong with backtracking? I don't understand. You use imprecise language and you backtrack and I can't? All the fuck we're doing here is trying to communicate and clarify communication. When I attempt to clarify you accuse me of backtracking and try to paint me as a racist?

It is 100% true that as a generality white women are not interested in asian men due to status. Even Asian women in the US aren't as interested in Asian men as a result of the same perception. This is a VERY real phenomenon. It is not racist to describe reality.

Do you know who I am? I'm asian. I grew up facing some of the most racist white people in existence. Do not call me a racist, not after what the white race did to my people and others. Let me be absolutely clear. I am not racist. Neither are you, but if you choose to call me a racist EVEN though I clearly am not then you are no worse then them.

"Are you white? Why are you backtracking on all the people your race enslaved and killed?" It would be wrong if I used the previous sentence on you. I'm not. Just throwing it in here as an example to show you how ludicrous your backtracking bs is.
Me too but this can never be sold right
Please, take the first-hand account of the multi-trillion dollar company over the results of independent studies. Next up, you should ignore the UN's accusations of Apple abusing Uighur labor in China because they're primarily comprised of nations that are not the US, which gives them a vested interest in badmouthing a spotless domestic company like Apple.

It all makes so much sense now!
Maybe it should just align the incentives and get the users to pay for it? The Enterprise™ spends millions on very dubious security products. On the other hand, the browser is on the front line when it comes to online attacks - a paid browser with enterprise-level features such as ad, malware & phishing blocking or DLP could sell for decent money and actually provide tangible security benefits.

Also NY repealed a state law, 50-A, which is one of the major laws preventing scrutiny and review of police departments and officers. Still more to go on that front though as the newly elected cop mayor rides a minor crime spike as if it were major and attempts to bring back the very prejudice/racist stop and frisk.

Food, I think that Climate Change and population growth will put a ton of pressure on our food systems. There are solutions in place but I think a ton of work should still go into those systems. I am in fact working on that issue, just not full time. I'm also going to be focused on open sourcing any of the work I do, including design and hardware. It's a fairly recent start to the project but I've never been more sure or engaged in this work as I am now. I can't do it full time yet as I have to (and very much want to) support my family. I'm particularly interested in automation of aquaponics systems and using technology to advance agriculture on a individual scale, ie not on a commercial scale. Aside from climate change, social justice movements will require food security at the family and individual level. I hope I can contribute to that in a small way.

One of the issues is that we conflate "antibodies" with "immunity". Antibodies are something we can measure so that's why there's been so much emphasis on them. But they do naturally diminish over time.

Long term and durable disease immunity comes from B-cells and T-cells. They create antibodies when they run into an infection they've seen or even not seen before. Unfortunately those are difficult to measure.

Good recent podcast from Dr. Peter Attia discusses this (How B cells and T cells work together to defend against viruses [22:00])

Indeed, I don't think his comment makes sense either.
It's not the undecidability itself that is the problem though. The undecidability is just an indicator how horribly complicated C++ is to compile.

That's why I talked about implied reliance, as opposed to what people explicitly "know about". Surfacing the actual practical rules behind what practitioners are doing is arguably a theorist's job, but many theorists are not fully comfortable with the kind of thinking that this would require.

(The 'Rule of the Octave', which is the kind of rule I'm pointing to, was quite exceptional in being explicitly taught in actual published treatises about music - and even that was practically forgotten later on; it's not usually taught in "introductory music theory" classes even though it arguably should be!)
They're averaging 1x a week with Falcon 9 which requires throwing away an upper stage and Merlin engine each time. So yeah you "could easily say" whatever you want, but this hot take that SpaceX is just talking bullshit like any rando internet commentator is getting a bit old.
I've been doing a lot of programming in Unreal lately, and I agree: It is hard. The docs are shockingly terrible, and 99% of the time I just end up reading the source code of the engine for documentation.

It is also re-igniting my passion for software development and learning.

So far I have:

- Learned a LOT of linear algebra and vector math through "learning by doing" with 3d games

- Learned C++

- Made a bunch of dumb little games during "game jams"

- Built a particle system using Niagara, made it into a component, and attached it to my player character for a movement indicator

- Made a valiant attempt at developing a procedural animated suspension system for a little car. If you have a path for learning how to do this procedural animation stuff, please @ me!!

- Learned how to configure and implement the pathfinding and AI systems for Unreal

- Realized I need to do a bit of a deep dive into shader development, and picked up a book as an introduction to shaders and have been watching tutorials. Fun stuff!!

- Had to think a LOT about architecture for my game.

- Learned basic blender modeling and rigging, rigged a model

I have spent so much time and... I still do not have a functional game. But that is OK. If I was trying to do something simpler, I would have something. But I'm not, i want to learn and build something cool.

Overall I see my gamedev as a "punk rock" kind of thing: I don't do it for the money, I do it because I want to and it fills the time with intellectually stimulating work.
Well thats why i am asking the crypto-anarchists, maybe they have a great plan but so far they are keeping it secret!
A few pixels is a very big cost when all you have is 640x480 of them. UI clutter affects usability too.

I’ll grant that while Microsoft Office is the only place I can remember seeing save buttons over all those years, for most people throughout the 90s and 00s, Microsoft Office was all they ever used. It might as well have been synonymous with software to them.

I suppose there was a window of time when screens were large enough to support gratuitous toolbars, but before autosave had become the norm, where it may have made sense. But now I’d go as far as to say requiring users to click a button or lose their work to be an anti-pattern.
That's a nice thought in theory, but I can assure you that string quartets do not play 5:4 major thirds -- they're significantly sharper (but not quite equal tempered major thirds).

There's more to music than acoustics. Four-part harmony has a lot of moving parts (literally and figuratively), and you have to make concessions to acoustically pure intervals to make it sound like it's in tune through time.
Solar and wind are only the cheapest because we have dumped massive amounts of subsidies into them, and continue to do so at greater levels than nuclear.

No matter how much money we throw at them, though, they produce zero when the sun isnt shining or the wind isnt blowing.

Factor in the cost of batteries, and aside from a few exceptional locations, they aren't all that cheap anymore.
1. How does that make it any better? You didn't want to provide your location, you were strong armed into doing it once and that's okay?

2. If you are using an app for device management (e.g. Google Home, Samsung Wear) it will be started next time you connect and then it's permission-madness all over again.
(1) and (2) make no sense. The bomb is more likely to be recovered by the Japanese if it is dropped on a city.

(3) then you drop one demo and have two real ones if they don't surrender to the demo within a few days.

(4) that sucks but that's how it goes, you can't seriously be saying it's justified to kill 200k Japanese civilians to save a small handful of allied lives in the intervening days while we wait for their response to the demo bomb.
