I thought the OP was being hyperbolic with the description of how comically bad this website is, until today when I tried it. Among other absurdities and mistakes that not even the most junior dev would make:

* Passwords require a mix of upper/lower and special characters, however when entering your password on the ALL UPPERCASE VIRTUAL KEYBOARD, you're informed that they're not case-sensitive.

* Any use of the back button gets you to an error page, from which there is no way to get back to your account. You're now logged out.

It's as if whoever built the site never even tested it.
And I've seen a system that did that. We had to predict what global aggregates we would need. Looking at a metric required finding the right instance to connect to if it wasn't in the bubbleup. Picking the right expressions to avoid double counts was hard. Want to do something fancy? No luck because of the lack of distributed querying.

As a parent of a newborn, none of the mothers we talk to actually want to breastfeed. Breastfeeding is a huge PITA for women, especially if they work. Despite the advice to breastfeed for 2 years it's rare if a mother lasts 6 months.

I guess you could argue that if formula wasn't an option then mothers would _have_ to breastfeed but then they couldn't work.

My point is that formula is a very attractive option for women so it's not like Nestle is holding a gun to their head. It's just a product they know people will buy.
Yeah, there are lots of foreign observers of the whole situation. Like it or not, Ukraine is probably the least credible source of this kind of story. It the UK, for example, backed the claim up, it would have much more weight.
> What's the quality of Russian medical research versus western?

Generally speaking - not great. There are some interesting Russian compounds out there that seem to do something, but they always fall way short of the miraculous effects shown in old Russian studies.

Old Russian pharmaceuticals have actually been a gold mine for supplement sellers in the past two decades because they're basically unregulated pharmaceuticals that can be marketed in the United States and other countries while pointing customers to questionable Russian studies to promote them.

If you browse Nootropics forums, you can find scores of people who tried the various compounds. Few people seem to continue any of them for very long either due to lack of primary effects or growing side effects. As I said, the Russian studies paint a very optimistic picture of the drugs.

Look at it this way: If any of these old compounds were really miracle drugs, the big pharmaceutical companies would be rushing to get them to market in the United States with some creative patented exclusivity. But none of them have taken any of these compounds past the early research phases. Similar story in other countries.

Some potentially interesting compounds, but you have to take the studies with a huge grain of salt.

True, but that's tunable, the bigger it is the less comes out.
It's hard not to be skeptical.

If only there was a way to solve climate change with carbon capture that was low tech, easy to do, simple to understand, didn't pose any long term side effects and pretty cheap to do.

Oh, and it can solve all the CO2 emissions you could ever want, so you know, you don't even have to make significant changes to your industry or way of life, because your emissions are pretty much flat out neutralized by this one simple thing.

Sounds perfect right?

Sounds like a silver bullet.

...but, silver bullets don't exist.

So, I can guarantee it's not that simple. Maybe it's another useful tool to help tackle climate change, probably with more research as to how to actually works. ...but, I think anyone who's excited by this needs to calllllmmm the F down, because this idea has been around for quite a while, and no one is using it; so I suspect there are some things that still need to be figured out like:

- do the benefits scale linearly, or is it a logarithmic curve (like most things)?

- can you actually measure the amount of carbon captured to prove its working?

- does it have any side effects on the ecosystem?

- does it have any impact on, you know, the farms you're putting it on?

- does their model (which is all they did, create a Matlab model) actually work in the real world?

- how often do you have to do it for it to stay effective?

It's complicated right.

I mean, sounds promising... but this:

> The simple act of sprinkling rock dust—an abundant byproduct of mining—on farmland could capture 45% percent of the carbon dioxide required to help the UK meet its 2050 net-zero targets.

Is just idle wishing the problem away. It might. It might not. There's a model that suggests it might.

I'm not convinced we should be sprinkling rock dust over the entire country quite yet.

Cram school culture, FOMO and dreams of children making it big.

These apps are just a part of the larger culture where IIT cram school tuitions are supposed to begin at age 11. Every one in India likes to diss on Engineering education, but it continues to remain the most predictable way of making an upper middle class living.

Parent obviously spend good money on education for this reason.
> i highly doubt not having benzos as part of one's pharmaceutical cocktail is the fundamental difference maker to one's life or death. so even to those who are now dependent on them, their long-term health will almost certainly be better served by getting to the root cause of their health issues. not saying that's an easy thing to do, but that's still the reality.

Dude, I've spent my entire 20s in therapy while trying various "safe" drugs to get ahold of my anxiety issues. Nothing worked. I was offered electroconvulsive therapy or daily benzos. I went with benzos. I've been taking them for years now and my life is infinitely better as a result. I've changed careers, gotten married, and traveled the world. Before benzos I was living with parents, too anxious to go across the street to get the mail.

I really don't think it's right to dismiss a whole class of highly effective and generally safe medication that can have life-altering benefits for some people. I'm okay with being slightly more retarded in my later years if it means I actually get to live a life outside my parents' basement.

Not really no. Plenty of things are much less regulated and just as consolidated (in fact, many examples that are also consolidated into exactly this same set of companies). So it may have some effect but clearly isn't the main one since we see this result for all kinds of products at every level of regulation.

I'm completely with you. In my personal experience doctors are extremely hesitant to prescribe these drugs.

I saw multiple doctors for years about anxiety issues and the most I got prescribed was an antihistamine. I also suffer from chronic back pain due to a genetic issue and it's been pretty much impossible for me to get a prescription that does anything for it.

I don't think people are lying about their experiences, I'm just baffled as to where this is going on because it's been totally opposite to my experiences.

Maybe, there's a theory that the 9th planet is a black hole, and that's why it's very hard to detect outside of the gravitational effects. Amusingly there's a diagram in the paper that's a 1:1 diagram (life size) in the paper.

Would be crazy if true, we could verify all kinds of things by tinkering with a live black hole.

Show HN: Simple Wave Function Collapse
The goal is to estimate the proportion of accounts that are bots. Let that number equal p. The variance of the proportion is p(1-p). The highest that can be is (0.5)0.5. Then, the standard deviation of that is the square root, which is 0.5.

Now, we want to know the standard error for our estimate of the bot proportion. That is sqrt(p(1-p)/n). Suppose 50% of accounts are bots (I assume that would be very high), then our estimate of p would be 0.5 and our standard error with a sample of 100 would be 0.05. Hence, our 95% confidence interval is roughly 0.4–0.6 in the worst case (with a sample of 100).

If the proportion is under 0.1 (let's assume 0.05), then the standard error would be sqrt(0.05(1-0.05)/100) = 0.022. Our 95% confidence interval in this case would be roughly 0.01–0.09.

These seem like large ranges to me. Hence, I would expect them to use a larger sample too.
Hi everyone, I finally got around to implement my version on the wave function collapse algorithm. WFC uses rules to define what tiles can be placed around each other. In order to achieve this rules, I wrote I simple tool that helped me to visualize every tile and all the tiles that can be placed around it (top, right, bottom and left sides).
My code is very simple, I haven't looked at the original WFC code at all, I just "learned" the concepts.

So, first I place a random tile at a random position, from that I grow the map chosing the neighbor with the lowest entropy (smallest number of possible tiles).

Hope you like it.

You say it's a myth, and yet I have direct knowledge of a case where it went that way. To be clear though, the stimulant response was not by itself the only diagnostic criteria. They we're engaged with a process of trying to determine a correct diagnosis. The child's response to a stimulant was one piece of data, and happened to be the one that made everything else click into place. If there is a myth here, it is only the idea that a response to a stimulant by itself is sufficient for a diagnosis. It's not.

Also, yes-- caffeine isn't a great treatment here either. With respect to ADHD there are more effective methods.

Sleep is a form of thinking. We basically "see a movie" when we dream. The entities we perceive interacting with each other in the dream, what are they? Like say there is a person I am am talking to in my dream. Or a crocodile? Or a car I drive in my dream. What are they?

I can think of no other answer than that they are "thoughts". They are thoughts I think in my dream. But they are visual, not verbal thoughts. And verbal thoughts? They are typically "audible" thoughts, I hear them in my head.

It's been reported that what people seldom dream about is reading some text, which is curious. Maybe there's no need for that because brain can dream words directly, as spoken words you hear in your head.

Oh man lol. Nitroglycerin most certainly has the power to initiate even a insensitive explosive like RDX, PETN, etc. It's detonation velocity is ~ 7700m/s. It's just very unstable which is why it isn't used raw. A jostle or turning the stopper on the bottle it's in can set it off. The less pure it is, the more dangerous it is. It's detonation velocity is twice as high as lead azide for instance.

Nitrocellulose can also be detonated with a properly brisant primary charge, which nitroglycerin is quite capable of being.

Typically Nitrocellulose (aka gun cotton, and the primary ingredient in most smokeless powders) won't detonate on it's own, but it's a very different beast from nitroglycerin.

The simplest way to manage pay equity is to at least match current engs salary to new hires for the same level. It baffles me that companies are ready to pay new hires market rates, but not try to retain existing talent by giving them the same $$.
This gives very little incentive to stay in the company for long time. Engs are most productive when they stay 2+ yrs in a team. We should incentivize folks to stay longer than that.

The nestle thing is referring to a specific set of events it sounds like you might not be aware fully of. "Thousands" is a dramatically conservative understatement and while they didn't literally hold a gun to anyone's head (that I'm aware of, in this case,,,) they did do things like have reps dress as nurses and advise impoverished illiterate mothers that they needed to use formula knowing it would be received as trustworthy medical advice.

I may not be representing it that well but if anything because I'm trying to carefully control my tone and am downplaying the harm knowingly caused.

There are lot of different pressures on people and a lot of reasons why they might choose not to breastfeed but the nestle thing is not really that and is as clear cut evil as it gets really go check it out.

Anything coming anywhere close to the event horizon would be removed, and some fraction of that mass would be converted into energy an irradiate the surrounding. So the best you could hope for is that it's moving fast, leaves a hole in you and leaves fast before you die.

I've been on multiple prescriptions for depression/anxiety/panic attacks (had a lot of traumatic events happen in close succession to one another). Combinations of different SSRIs and whatnot but the one thing that had an immediate and hugely beneficial effect was Xanax. I truly felt like my problems were solvable and I could see how to go about making the necessary changes. It was truly life changing for me because up until that point I could no longer believe that sich relief was possible. I haven't ever had a prescription though, and most doctors will refuse if asked. So I just have that one experience where it was given to me during a panic attack emergency, but knowing that it is even possible to feel like things can get better was a huge help to remember what to keep fighting for.
Mortar rounds are already the correct shape with fins to stabilize the flight path. Various irregular and insurgent forces have already weaponized the larger consumer drones with a rack that can release a single mortar round straight down. If the drone is hovering and there isn't much wind then the mortar round will fall straight down and detonate on impact. In some cases they may also have made minor modifications to the fuse mechanism in order to ensure reliable detonation when used in that mode. These weapons are very effective against lightly armored targets which lack effective air defenses or electronic countermeasures.
