What's disappointing about issues like this is I worked on a specific transfer of health information from a govenrment health system to a university, and the attitude of the school researchers to privacy was practically obnoxious. They absolutely exploited the pandemic to squeeze the toothpaste out of the tube and get their hands on data sets that we actually have privacy protecting technologies to facilitate access to, but they were using the emergency powers to do a wholesale seizure of the data sets themselves.

Among the risks I specifically identified were that access to the patient data was the decision of a research ethics board whose decisions were not covered under privacy and access to information laws, and that the research organizations outright refused to allow their researchers to be identified individually - as per privacy laws that require all access to PHI to be by named individuals. The greater concern was once the data was in the hands of the university, they had no way of formally separating clinical research and broader access by social scientists, or worse, administrators with similar agendas, and questioning the integrity of some of the truly demented individuals who inhabit those institutions is apparently just not done.

Govenrment health information systems have rigorous privacy logs that admins check on a weekly and monthly basis to see if their staff are trolling through records for people they know, but the universities have no such controls, and their IT organizations are not enterprise quality. Modern tools like differential privacy, tokenization, data synthesis, and other techniques are absolutely sufficient to test hypothesis before working on production data, but their skillsets appeared more in navigating bureaucracy and political leverage, so they used the tools they had. I say obnoxious because there is a certain archetype of person who spits and sneers when they hear words like "privacy," and their skillset often reduces to creating crisis' that always seem to have themselves in the middle, and it was well represented in the groups I dealt with. The NHS should take heed, as they are clearly being hustled.

My bigger worry about cryogenics is about the people on the "other side" of the freeze. Why do they want to wake you up? They won't look at the tag on the frozen toe and read "ALS" and figure they want to wake you up to administer the cure (which will cost US$3.5 million in 2020 dollars). They won't be that curious about life in the early 21st century. What they'll want is slave labor, mental or physical.

> Why do some people's bodies/minds insist so insistently that they eat more when they clearly are already overweight? That's the question I would love to have answered.

Pretty sure it's habit. Eating calorie all the time makes our brain want that food all the time. People are not used to being actually in empty stomach since their childhood. I did intermittent fasting and now I'm completely okay not eating during that time. For other times it becomes easy, after not eating like before.

The food doesn't have to be calorie heavy either. Replace with meat, nuts, vegetable, fruits (not juice).

Its still a fallacy because some people are just lucky instead of being skilled, and its entirely possible to confuse the two.

In the same way, an appeal to an authority is better than nothing, but its still a really weak argument. You can misunderstand authorities and authority can be mistaken or suborned. Its a reasonable argument if nobody knows much about the topic, but its never convincing if people are learned in the topic; the benefit of an expert is not that they are experts, its that they know how to defend their position with reasoning. As the motto of the royal society says "Nullius in verba".

Every mass has a corresponding Schwarzchild radius because mass is just a variable in the equation. Almost everything in the universe has an actual radius far far larger than it's Schwartzchild radius, hence most objects in the universe are not black holes.
I'm impressed (and a little confused) at the idea the explosive is essentially sitting untethered on the target. I would have thought the entire contraption would shoot up with the explosive force being reflected off the ground, but I suppose there's enough energy in the initial blast (before the reflection) to form the copper 'bullet'. =

This just triggered a crazy possibility in my mind. What if Stacy's Mom's name is Jenny? She's had guys longing for her for ~40 years.
In the US/Iraq war such contraptions were commonly referred to as EFPs (explosively formed penetrators). My platoon was once hit by a four-array EFP that was hung behind a cement wall (US forces would often line streets with barricades like this) so we couldn't see it. It went through the concrete wall, the humvee, and took some legs with it. Brutal things they were. We avoided prolonged truck excursions, but I remember we used to always sit with our arms and legs as staggered as possible--The thought being that if an EFP went through, you might get lucky and only lose one arm/leg instead of two. Of course it probably didn't help... but whatever.

There is probably a lot of leftover rock from extracting everyday things like aluminum, as well as rare earth elements, which electronics manufacturing needs for many components. If the generation of the stones that get crushed and used for dusting is an output of other essential mining projects, that could further offset the costs associated with generating rock dust. It could also potentially reduce the shortage of these rare earth minerals, and associated electronic components, by attracting more mining operations to operate in additional countries.

Note to anyone that might be tempted to get this as an audiobook: Don't!

It didn't occur to me that the subject matter would be incompatible with narration, but it (IMO) just doesn't work that way. Large portions of the book have equations and heavy notation. Here's an actual passage:

Yeah, I just couldn't keep listening to that. I need to get a print copy, because the subject matter is interesting.

True, but it's worth realizing a few things:

1. It's ok to eat some "junk food" as part of your diet. That's not going to automatically kill your diet, if you still control calories. It might not be as satiating as eating other foods though, so it's worth experimenting with this. (personally I would still eat "junk food" on my diet and I enjoyed the extra flexibility).

2. Just cause you're eating junk food, since calories is what ultimately matters, it's still worth not ordering the large. Saying " well it's junk food I'm already lost" and then eating a larger portion is just making the sustain much worse than it needs to be.

3. Similarly, just cause it's a junk food place, doesn't mean there aren't better or worse options. I love McDonald's, and still eat there even when dieting to lose weight. But I'll eat only chicken nuggets, and skip the fries. Not nearly as good or healthy as eating other sources of protein, but definitely better than including an extra 500 calories of non satiating carbs.

Benzodiazepine patents expired long ago. Same with most SSRIs.

If you're suggesting that pharma execs are conspiring to get rich by selling people their $4/month generic Prozac prescriptions, then I don't know what to tell you. I suspect your thinking is motivated more by narratives and conspiracy theories than facts and figures.

> You conveniently also forgot to mention that SSRIs, for example, actually increase the rate of suicide (along with suicidal ideation) - so you're more likely to kill yourself if you take them then if you didn't take them; that is from their clinical trials.

You have NO idea what you're talking about and you're spreading harmful misinformation. The black box suicide warning is for the startup period and is a rare side effect. SSRIs have a net reduction in suicidal ideation.

The patient population who has been prescribed SSRIs is more likely to be associated with suicidal ideation than the general public because SSRIs are prescribed to depressed patients, not the general public.

> Reality is more complex than you're currently aware of.

I'm very confident in my knowledge of these subjects and it's clear from your posts that you've been consuming some alternative medicine propaganda. I hope everyone reading this can see that you're pushing alternative medicine concepts mixed with conspiracy theories, not actual research.

To add to this, the Women's Olympic Ice Hockey teams of the US and Canada -- both professional and highly skilled teams, have been known to practice against high school level and/or high school aged boys teams and both national teams don't always win either.

I am not saying any of this to discredit the hard work and skill these women have accomplished, but at the end of the day biology is biology.

As an avid hockey fan, I think that the two sexes play a similar, but slightly different styled game (male professional leagues allow contact unlike female leagues), but I think we should celebrate and enjoy the differences each style that hockey or any game has to offer.

It will be interesting to see how many takers they get. A market-agreed-upon interest rate implies a default probability. 30% already implies a relatively high one, we'll see if the market supports it.
I am sure that is part of the motivation but I am totally unconvinced that is all of it.

Russia's independence from and defiance of the western law enforcement agencies, in things like money laundering, building a SWIFT alternative, cybercrime, piracy, and digital interference, among many others, are things that I think the US would like to do away with. Those aren't strictly security concerns but could still be defined that way. It would not surprise me at all if the US saw an opportunity for regime change that is more friendly to its own interests. Regime change seems to be a goal at present but has not been made official.

I stated in another post that I felt that a centralized internet under more or less the same western laws globally, with exceptions like China, was not good for the internet which is why I agreed with the parent comment. That was my main point: Russian defiance of copyright laws is good for the internet. I believe that is not a view shared by most governments. I am less interested in war specifics.
It's a very small effect in practice, but it indeed holds up. Although, "opposite effect" seems an overstatement when the most robustly replicated priming studies show a positive effect (subconscious cues aid recognition of semantically similar content).
I prefer "middle of the road" languages that are high-level AND readable AND have decent performance optimisation for bulk operations. Python with C libraries suffices for a lot of people, Julia similarly is getting popular.

Even the older Mathematica language blows both K and C out of the water for readability and performance:

m = Table[RandomReal[], 100, 100];
t = RepeatedTiming[MatrixPower[m, 2]];
First[t]*1000*1000

18.0245

You would have to know literally zero about Mathematica's Wolfram Language to be able to read that clearly! From a standing start you could understand what another person has created. For K, you'd have to have memorized the K-specific syntax. For C, if you hadn't seen the standard patterns for matrix multiplication you'd have to read the code carefully. A lot of it is just noise, like the verbose for loop syntax.

Oh, and Mathematica's matrix power function is:

- Parallel! If I use a 10K x 10K matrix as an input, it uses about 75% CPU on my 8-core laptop. It can complete a single multiplication in 5.3 seconds. For laughs, try that with either K or C and see what you get...

- Extends to negative or fraction powers.

- Has optimisations for applying the matrix power directly to a vector.

- Is extensively documented, unlike the terse K snippet or the hand-rolled C code: https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/MatrixPower.html....

Essentially what I'm trying to say is that terseness is an anti-pattern, and doesn't even begin to approach the utility of a well designed high-level language intended for teams of collaborating humans.
Luck eventually runs out. That's not to say you're wrong, only that I expect the distribution of the lucky amongst the skilled tends towards zero over sufficient time.

I don't think 100 is terribly reasonable. For a company with the size and resources of Twitter, it should be trivial to check several thousand.

I'm not sure why the standard deviation worse case is 5%. Presumably the accuracy of the bot decision plays into it. But I would imagine a couple thousand would get a far more accurate answer.

Well, working in a lab is one reason. I develop technology for scientific measurement equipment. I did OK during the lockdown by moving one of my experiments to a spare room in my basement, but whether that can work or not depends a lot on what facilities are needed for a specific project.

Sure I spend some time goofing off like you describe, but my work is neither measured nor paid by the hour.
I still use a VCR and TV. Although it is digital TV and needs to use a cable box that has their own software that does not work very well (there are many bugs in it) and cannot be made to do what you want it to do, it can still be connected to a VCR. It is without HDTV, but that is OK; I don't want HDTV; I want VCR. Together with public television, and captions (which HDMI does not have, but the composite video does have, so they can be recorded), we can have the recordings that we want to have easily enough.
Yes, crushing and distributing is one of the main drawbacks. Too far from a mine and the net emissions are positive.
> It's a similar case to cell phone providers: although there are hundreds in the U.S., all but four do not operate their own network, but rather resell the network of one of the big four.

Three mobile networks, since Sprint was merged into T-Mobile. It was also inevitable since it does not make much sense to have many different organizations install cell towers and run all that wiring all over a country the size of the US, and split a limited resource like wireless spectrum conducive to data transfer.
“Caught” is not a synonym for “unsupported anonymous allegations by immigration activists”.

He was almost funnier on weekend update with bad material, because he was also almost laughing at how dumb it was. Same as in e.g. Dirty Work, which was a throwaway movie but he still ends up being funny just because he's Norm Macdonald.
