That's what we learned in our history lessons.
The roman empire was not build upon military, technological or social achievements, but on a strong organizational and legal structural framework, the res publica. A rational framework.

Which was based on philosophical and political advantages (still a monarchic slave economy), but mostly it was a stable and written groundwork. Different to the US legal system btw, which bends fore-, backwards and even more backwards all the time, depending on your social and economical status.

The allowance and then even the adoption of Christianity allowed the Christians to refuse to pay the Fiscus Judaicus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edict_of_Milan
Before, their refusal with their continuous insurgencies led to drastic persecutions, and now this principal to honor the res publica was just abolished, the roman state gave up on the martyrs. Monotheism led to sanctioning of completely irrational stories as told in the bible and various other lunatics, in contrast to the more rational polytheist societies.
He has scaled up thrillers like a startup. Hence his personal wealth is crazy.
As usual, some Americans are basically lampooning this policy (although some complaints especially on data collection is legitimate and worthy of discussion), but as many pointed out the US Dollar is in the minority when it comes to perpetual acceptance. Whether perpetual acceptance or time-to-time demonetisation is the correct one is not in my ballpark, but it is common to demonetise old designs few years after the release of superseding designs.

As for the English pounds specifically, this practice is dated back to medieval times (even before the incorporation of BoE), especially to control state-sponsored (or equivalent) counterfeiting (like Nazi Germany's Operation Bernhard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Bernhard) and to replace the monarch on the banknote.

Scottish pounds are interesting though. While older designs ceased to be widely-accepted (I should note that they are never legal tender), all notes are still accepted for exchange (well until an authorised bank that printed your specific note, which currently are three*, became bankrupt).

* These are the Bank of Scotland, the Royal Bank of Scotland, and Clydesdale Bank. Despite the names of the first two banks, none of those banks are currently owned by Scottish or British governments.
This feels like a complete farce. Farmers abandon their crops because it is too hot and their land has poor water retention only to expose the bare soil to the direct sun which makes the problem even worse. They are insane enough to set their mulching material on fire instead of spreading it on the soil to prevent it from drying out.

Californian farming practices have always been extremely paradoxical.
Apple actually recently added support for high-quality crash reports (the kind you'd get from their tooling, more or less) in MetricKit: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/metrickit/mxcrashd....
For an individual woman they might have the luxury of being able to do this but it doesn't really scale because (the subtext is) that the men who would need this (versus the body-carousel you get on tinder) have the issue that most of the women who could actually articulate an interesting questionaire aren't dating online IME.

Also women do already do this in a sense on tinder - "Don't swipe if you're under six foot, here are my red flags, guys with hayfever aren't real men" blah blah.

I also think the whole idea of a romantic checklist is very narrow minded. Inferring people's beliefs from their actions would be interesting but just letting people basically only pick and extremely specific type of person seems like a route to nothing good socially.
Literally don't even know who that is.
Hmm, that would be interesting, except it seems they only considered 14 studies. They find in 11 of these observational studies match the results of RCTs.

Im sure this will be different in areas where there is no public awareness of a risk factor vs ones where there are. Eg healthy diets select for people who care about their health, so it's not so infomative, vs something where the link is not publicly known (so that the observational study is already somewhat blind/randomized).
Rooting is used correctly in the article, as evidenced by sudo dockerd --iptables=false . You need to be able to run commands as sudo.
The Ontario page shows a graph comparing death rates for various states of vaccination search for "Deaths involving COVID-19 by vaccination status".
All of the apps have that. Some openly stop users who hit the limit, some shadowban them.

And they all penalize indiscriminate swiping by giving spammers lower priority.

Sometimes I swear that the advice that men should swipe on everybody is put out there by successful users to trick others into getting hidden and deranked.
Ironically, the opposite pill for me is Adderall. I take stimulants for idiopathic hypersomnia and if I take too high of a dose I have a hard time concentrating on just one thing.

I don’t think it gets as bad as ADHD but I definitely get a taste of it.

What kind of issues and crashes did they see in rust code?

The article is very vague about the details, which could be of interest to people in as similar situation.
What I understand is in the 1950's there was a theory that women would miscarry because of a lack of estrogen. So women who had had miscarriages would be given DES when pregnant. By the 1960's I think there was a realization that a) didn't work. b) miscarriages are often due to issues with the fetus. c) Common.

So use was stopped 50 years ago. And mostly stopped 10 years before that. Was a commonly discussed thing in the 1970's and 80's. But less after that.
The fundamental nested misunderstanding is that the wealth vs income misunderstanding doesn't matter unless you're making a finicky point about the way equities work.
And AFAIK, people don't eat mostly almonds or wheat anyway.

I'd bet a lot of unused almond and wheat meal goes to animal feed which is far less efficient than either of the inputs.

So the end effect or almonds vs another crop is diminished anyway.
100% this. Outdated documentation is worse than no documentation. „Tell me you don’t care about your product without telling me you don’t care about it“.

What I like to do is write a rough, high-level description of some core concepts that I don’t expect to change (they do, eventually). Just to get the ball rolling, and as a form of validation - if you can’t explain how something works, you either don’t understand it well enough or it‘s to complicated/convoluted.
It’s because people lie for many reasons. To get out of work, get disability, make a claim, to get opioids because they’re addicted to them etc. As a doctor, you’re probably going to become cynical after a while.

This is very different from a baby because they have little motivation to lie and you can see them reacting to simple painful situations like bumping their head.
> I always suspected something similar. Is this documented anywhere though that I could look?

The book Dataclysm and the OkCupid blog have a lot of analysis about things like this. Both are about a decade old now and were written by one of the guys who founded OkCupid, so it focuses on dating sites instead of apps, but I would assume the trends are the same (or even amplified).

It's been a while since I've read either, so I don't remember exact data, but it's true that women get way more men reaching out to them than the reverse.

Here's a random OkCupid blog post that focuses on it a little bit: https://theblog.okcupid.com/a-womans-advantage-82d5074dde2d. I think the book has more detailed data though.
You can't do randomized studies for things like nutrition if the question is "does eating red meat for a decade increase the risk of cancer". Nobody's going to comply with it.
Also safety deposit boxes tend to disappear as a service all too frequently, without adequate warning. Make sure if you do get one to visit it often.

Most hydro is already consumed. Where do you think this extra power comes from?

Yeah, at times there may be water spilled/wasted instead of used for generation, just like excess wind can make electricity prices zero/negative in Germany or Texas. But I am guessing it is a small percentage of generation time (single digit I would guess) so it doesn’t affect my argument.
Well no, I’m not wrong. That article you linked is a review of reviews comparing RCTs and observational studies for medical interventions, primarily surgical studies or pharmacological treatments with well characterised effects. Observational studies of supplements and nutritional interventions on the other hand have a very poor track record of RCT validation.
It is absolutely perfectly fine to be interested in dating a particular race. Because if you really break down what that statement actually means, it means that the person is attracted to certain physical characteristics that are more pronounced in that particular ethnicity.

We are attracted to what we're attracted to - no justification needed.
"You can't see all of the issues and all of the problems and how your design really doesn't work until you actually try to build it." - assuming you build something, nobody has tried to build before.

In the 95% of other cases, use a library solutions, read about solutions that exist, try to learn from similar solutions. Don't reinvent the wheel.

It's not wrong to do experiments, learn from that and apply the know-how to production code.
Low-code and no-code tools are still waiting for a breakout moment
It's at the point where women don't benefit either though. Getting 1000x matches just leaves most women overwhelmed.

Plus a lot of those matches end up being low-quality even despite trying to be picky, because the apps are so surface level. Plenty of men manage to get great pics and quotes but turn out to be complete douches.
> The Linux desktop can't even run applications in a consistent style.

Now that I'm actually using Windows again on a regular basis, it really baffles me that people say this. Like, turn dark mode on and have fun getting blinded when random parts of the builtin Settings app are actually links to Control Panel, which just doesn't support dark mode at all and uses totally different widgets. Or try to fight a headache when some Java app has really blurry font rendering for some reason, even though the toolkit looks semi-native for Windows apps from 10 years ago. And have fun with all the Electron apps that completely ignore the native look and feel.

There is no OS where all apps have visual consistency. Idk why people pretend this is uniquely a freedesktop problem.
Yeah, I won't name names but a well-known firewall provider also interecpts MX records (apparently to prevent spam mails sent from the firewalled network, but blocking port 25 would be much better if that's your goal).
My opinion is this post romanticizes the idea of planning before building anything a little too much. As with anything, the devil is in the details.

I agree that some type of high-level planning is needed before you do significant coding or design. However, just how much really depends on what you're building.

I don't really buy into the notion that writing a lot first will get to the heart of what you want to build. There are far too many unknowns up front. You'll have to start prototyping and experimenting to really know if what you've planned has any merit in terms of a real product. What you've written will give you a map of where you're trying to go, but you'll need to be flexible enough to change some of those initial plans if reality doesn't match your expectations.
This repo contains a tool for generating physical Shamir shares relatively easily and with reasonable opsec: https://github.com/sowbug/b39tools

Mining activites for hundreds of years dumped toxic chemicals into the lake that nobody cared about. Now that the water is gone, those chemicals are airborne.
OkCupid effectively used to do this, multiple ways. Before it turned into a blatant photo gallery (to maximize revenue from straight men paying for advantage, I suspect).

One of the ways was that OkCupid let anyone add their own multi-choice (plus optional freeform) questions, to the database from which people would answer. You could rate what each answer meant to you, and you could (IIRC) make answering a particular question mandatory before messaging you. Good for litmus tests.
Such a review is necessarily limited to topics which have both an RCT and an observational study.

As such, the general bias against publishing non-significant results could mean the conditions for being able to even try such a review risk biasing the review towards exaggerating agreement.

(It also seems the Cochrane review here may itself only be considering other reviews - a metameta analysis of sorts – which might also be influenced by a selection bias, if there’s any chance at all that researchers choosing work, & then publication decisions, prefer to address questions where there’s more agreement, rather than less-attention-catching mixed results.)

The most convincing evidence here would be how strongly preregistered RCT results, whether ever published or not, tend to match earlier observational studies. It doesn’t appear to me that this Cochrane review is focused on that.
Actually, mulching is mostly about preventing soil erosion and increasing water retention. When you consider that the original reason for abandoning the orchards is expensive water you may think that burning your orchard residue is setting money on fire.

It is the same with tillage. Conventional farming sprays synthetic fertilizers, only to do tillage which resets the soil and basically throws all the money they put into their fertilizers away, necessitating even more fertilizer usage.
It's actually the opposite, it is really humbling to think of oneself as just random lucky phenomena.
Regardless of what you think or whether humans are purely physical, we all create our own meaning and values you can't take that away from anyone. Who cares if it's physical or something else.

I also think it's your human ego to think we are "beyond" any machine. Like cmon do you not believe in evolution? We came from fish it is a fact.

I think as scientists it is more responsible to assume humans are not special, then prove things from there.

Yes but things can break less with a robust type system. This is categorically true.

For example ELM is a programming language that cannot crash due to it's type system. I mean it can crash off of exceeding system resources or through the FFI, but it cannot crash any other way.

The argument the OP is making is that the difference achieved by a type system is negligible, but I would argue that in some cases this is true, but ELM is a case where it's not.
I think you write about people who mention that they can get 2-3 hours of actual work, which in turn they count as "actually writing code in editor".

I can easily imagine how it goes - because pushing tickets over takes time, bunch of meetings during the day takes time, explaining stuff to junior devs takes time, reviewing pull requests and answering to comments takes time, clarifying things with QA/BA/PO, figuring out which libraries to use by googling takes time.

I saw devs that think these things that I have listed don't feel like "real work" but it is. There is also no way to automate meetings or discussions over PRs.
Spancat: a new approach for span labeling
> You can see this all the time right now. People always talk about dogs as though they are philosophical zombies that merely learned to imitate the emotional displays we see from them. I see people talking about animals frequently caveat their intuition by saying things like "I'm sure he's just learned that if he does that he'll get food" or the like.

Dogs are a little bit different from other animals, though. I've always kept dogs and cats (currently have 3x dogs, 3x cats) and every single dog I've had over the years has been able to look at my face to see what I am looking at.

In other words, by looking at my face, they know where to turn their heads to look at what I am looking at, and by my expression, they know when to do it.

This is obviously not a "do action = get treat" type of scenario, and I don't know of any other animal that are in tune enough with humans to do that. To me, that's a very strong indication of higher-order thinking.

> Like she won't even eat it in a neutral context. But in the jealousy eliciting context, she will take it and bring it somewhere and guard it.

All my dogs have done the same; many of them will just bury it somewhere on the property and then forget about it.
I think it is that parents are expecting perfect kids like these are normalized product you can buy from factory. They are panicking when their kids deviate from their perceived norms, and seek medication to fix the "problem".

ADHD, hyperactivity etc were non problems 40 years ago and got no treatment.
Recently learned that pigs are smarter than dogs and even 3-year olds. They're also very social, which makes them humanlike. For this reason I don't ever eat pork. It would be like eating dog or human meat.
> Why should humans who behave indistinguishably from dangerous wild animals be treated any differently?

Because they aren't dangerous wild animals, while dangerous wild animals are. In humans dangerous wild behaviour is a (hopefully, and ususally) more or less temporary and fixable aberration, while in many kinds of animals it's the immutable default.

That difference shouldn't be too difficult to grasp, or is it?

> Is immediate and severe escalation of violence in response to aggression ineffective?

Not at fixing the immediate danger, but yes, as a means of maintaining a human(e) society it seems rather ineffective.

Then make it price adjusted for that to some extent. Use medians.

And being forced to sell to some degree is by design. One elderly lady hogging the land that could house 100 apartment dwellings in the middle of a city for example.

“Owning Land” is a human construct.

And it would be no worse than compulsory purchases by government for infrastructure.

It's an unexplained phenomenon. I know of a Russian author, Dontsova [1] that is the same: hundreds of shitty detective novels, immensely popular.

The title is misleading. Patterson is not the living author to have sold the most books. JK Rowling has sold more, and perhaps others (Akira Toriyama, Danielle Steel). [1] I think the claim is that he is currently selling the most per year.

Oddly, I had never heard of Patterson. How is that possible given his apparent cultural dominance?

Both Danielle Steel and J.K. Rowling appear to have sold more books. Steel’s numbers in the wiki entry are from 2010, and Rowling’s from 2018; I assume they have only increased since then. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_fiction...
Detroit going bust is bad if all of your property is in Detroit, but if you have property in 100s or 1000s of cities then the individual booms and busts become less relevant.
If men are the ones paying and women getting in for free, this is no different to the nightclub cover charge model. In both cases, men are the real customers (big spenders) and women are the product. It's the same as the social media business. Advertisers are the customers and users are the product.
How would an ineffective, totalitarian and corrupt goverment manage to supplant all the existing ones? I think that if a world government manages to form, it cannot be any of those things. To unite all the peoples of Earth it has to be efficient, democratic, and just.

I would put the files on a S3-like service (scaleway, backblaze...) and setup a small VPS to serve the files.

By using Scaleway you would pay ~12€/m for 1TB of storage and ~7€/m for the smallest instance (can go even cheaper if you manage to get a stardust instance at ~1.5€/m). Also, Scaleway does not charge for egress (bandwidth) so it seems the perfect solution to your problem :)

Alternatively, you could enable the website feature[0] on the bucket to save you from setting up a web server, but then you would pay for the egress.

> I eat meat whenever my local supermarket has a piece of organic meat on sale because it would otherwise get thrown away.

I don't think that really works any more than the "look I'm killing the cows" argument. If they have to throw away packages each week, they'll buy less in the future, which in turn leads to lower production.
Type checking is a form of proof. It proves your system is type safe. You would need billions or trillions of tests to achieve type safety equivalent to a type checker.

A successful test only proves something for a single test case. In fact it is impossible to do the equivalent of type checking in the runtime code of your program unless the runtime code has the ability to self "reflect" on it's own source code.

There are also complex type systems that can prove correctness and completely eliminate the need for tests all together but this style of programming is really challenging and time consuming.
