Hey, I'm an epistemic anarchist, you don't have to convince me mysticism is a good idea. I'm just saying that "personal subjective spiritual revelation" is about as far as you can get from "objective or intersubjective repeatable results."

It's not "this guy is responsible for evaluating our AI work and also goes to church on Sunday", it's "this guy is responsible for evaluating our AI work and also thinks God is speaking to him personally and directly about the quality of that work." If you think your code reviews are bad now, imagine if the reviewer thought they only needed to answer to God.

Schools should have overlapping morning and evening periods and families should get to choose which one their student attends.
Coronavirus research was not "fast science" at all, there have been ongoing research for decades about coronaviruses before the pandemic hit.
It is also bounded in the other end by sports. If your school day goes too late, you won’t have time in the afternoon/evening for sports practices. So, if you still need X hours for classes, you’ll need to start early enough to get over in time for 1-1.5 hour practices.

(It also applies to other extracurricular sports, but I doubt anyone really worries about play practice schedules)
You may want to check with your carrier if hotspotting is allowed/supported. Some carriers don't allow it. I use my iPhone hotspot all the time with few issues. I'm usually using eSIMs from the Airalo app because I travel a lot. I do find if I let it my computer idle for awhile, the hotspot will automatically disconnect. It's a bit annoying, but I assume it's by design to prevent wasting hotspot data. I haven't looked into it.

The practice in England and Wales is summed up by the following (now rather famous) passage from Mr Justice Hedley in a 2007 case[0]:

> Basically it is the tradition of the United Kingdom, recognised in law, that children are best brought up within natural families. Lord Templeman, in Re: KD (a minor ward) (termination of access) [1988] 1 AC 806, at page 812 said this:

> > "The best person to bring up a child is the natural parent. It matters not whether the parent is wise or foolish, rich or poor, educated or illiterate, provided the child's moral and physical health are not in danger. Public authorities cannot improve on nature."

> There are those who may regard that last sentence as controversial but undoubtedly it represents the present state of the law in determining the starting point. It follows inexorably from that, that society must be willing to tolerate very diverse standards of parenting, including the eccentric, the barely adequate and the inconsistent. It follows too that children will inevitably have both very different experiences of parenting and very unequal consequences flowing from it. It means that some children will experience disadvantage and harm, whilst others flourish in atmospheres of loving security and emotional stability. These are the consequences of our fallible humanity and it is not the provenance of the State to spare children all the consequences of defective parenting. In any event, it simply could not be done.

(Emphasis mine). I'm not sure I like it, but I understand why this is where we are.

Of course, we haven't outlawed beating children in England yet, unlike Wales and Scotland, so there are still obvious improvements to be made...

I've used several projects (mostly libraries) that got abandoned, and only two I had to adopt and maintain myself, and those were pretty low maintenance. If there is a community around it, somebody (who isn't you) might step up, so you don't have to do it.

You can download music directly to the watch, at least with Apple Music. No idea if it works with a local library. However, other apps have the ability too, so chances are good that there are other apps as well.

It can connect to Bluetooth headphones just fine without an iPhone, I only carry the watch when I go for a run
I do not really believe in the radiation signature, but because photosynthesis preferentially fixes the unstable isotope of carbon, the smell of freshly cut grass would technically have a newer carbon date than plain air.
That’s their and/or their parent’s choice to make, the important point is that the system shouldn’t be set up in such a way that it’s impossible for them to live a healthy lifestyle.
The JVM allocates small objects by incrementing a pointer in the “young generation” region. The GC later moves all objects that are still alive from that region to a different region. The “young” region can then be reused from scratch. The moving of objects effectively defragments (compacts) that region of the heap. Modern GCs use multiple per-thread and/or per-core regions, i.e. there are generally multiple “young” regions, not just a single one. Memory is allocated from the OS in large chunks.

There is intermediate fragmentation due to dead-but-not-yet-collected objects. Together with the use of different generational regions, GC languages thus require more memory (a rule of thumb is twice the memory of a non-GC program), but memory is cheap, and not having to reference-count and deallocate each object individually can conversely have performance benefits.
With proprietary software:

- You might be forced into an "upgrade" which breaks something you rely on

GNOME devs are laughing at this very hard right now while they look at your maximize icon. As of today, half baked decisions are still being made and forced to users all around.

Like Gnome Terminal, where if you Select All, then Copy, it only copies the currently visible text, not the "All" you just selected. A conscious decision that was first made to work around some memory issue, and was later left as permanent behavior with no resort for users to revert back and absolutely no way to select and copy all text of a terminal. And it shipped for everybody to enjoy on the latest Ubuntu LTS. Nice.

EDIT to mention that indeed it's nice that Ubuntu themselves would be in a position where the change could be reverted for their users, if they wanted. So that's indeed a very positive property of Open Source. Albeit assuming everybody has the means, the time, or even the ability to make such changes is kind of naive. But the possibility, yeah, it is there after all, and that's a good thing.

Has it ever occurred to you that maybe you’re atypical in this way? I’ve done flights from the US to Europe, and not slept during the flight and landed in the morning in Europe. While I’m initially tired, I’m unable to fall asleep in this situation. I spend the day walking around outside and eating at local time. After going to bed just a little earlier (wall time) than usual the first day, I’m adjusted because of the sun (aka the number on the wall), food intake, etc.
For a startup like ours (great product, traction, everything, but we lack the funds to really get out there, sales wise) we would LOVE to let a reseller use a white label version in markets that we're not present yet (aka. including the US).

My high school got a large donation of corporate junked computers circa 1998 (was used for an after school technical program in computer repair), and I'm sure the corporations took a nice write off. Larger companies with enough computers to matter for this purpose likely have ways to get rid of capital equipment that aren't just throwing it away, and there's no reason computers wouldn't fit into that.

For those computers that did end up in landfills, I imagine they wouldn't be very salvageable, there's lots of crushing processes that happen on the way to the landfill, and while most of the other trash will get crushed first, cause metal boxes are pretty sturdy, it doesn't take much to crack a motherboard and then it's not nearly as useful.
>Fuel is not the dominant cost in general aviation. Electrification alone won’t make it cheap.

It's not about fuel efficiency. In fact, any electric aircraft with current battery tech is always going to be less efficient than a jet, because jets burn oxygen from the air.

It's about maintenance. The fixed hourly cost of aviation is almost entirely based on the cost of maintenance. And a fleet of electric aircraft will be orders of magnitude cheaper to maintain than turboprops and jets. That can unlock whole new business models of small scale commercial aviation that aren't possible today.
Dunno. Could be. I'd be a lot more sure of saying simply that Dell laptops are not fit for purpose and Dell dodge their responsibilities over selling you something that can't operate as generally expected also failing to tell you clearly and obviously in ways you can't miss before you buy it. Of course if they did tell you before you bought it nobody would.

Could be "doesn't reliably sleep" But that sort isn't the real problem even if it is closely related to some technical cause of the original issue that cascades to this total failure that is 100% Dell's responsibility whatever it's initial trigger.
Tha doesn’t always work. The school I was supposed to go to for high school (before moving prior to the year starting) did that by default. Grades 11-12 started early and got out early. Grades 9-10 started later and ended later. There were about 3 hours of overlap.

This is what annoyed me the first time I saw vector icons used in Linux desktop environments. I appreciate the attempt at making something that scales to any size, but in practice you need to custom design the smallest versions of an icon.

Even at the larger sizes, a vector won't always look great. If the renderer doesn't fudge vector edges to snap to pixel edges, you'll end up with blurry edges instead of clean, sharp ones.

> changing the number on the clock doesn't mean students will sleep more

They aren’t changing the number on the clock like Daylight Saving Time did. They’re changing when you are required to arrive. They number on the clocks are staying fixed and that’s why it’s more likely to help.
>What's the point of keeping children in the company of people that think of them as little more than chattel? That can't be good for a child's self-esteem or development.

What has to be considered is the alternative, there is not an infinite supply of good places to send children to if their parents are terrible.

The foster system has quite a lot of negative outcomes, to put it generously. Not very many people want to adopt a half grown child with behavior problems from earlier mistreatment, it is not at all an easy thing to do.

A family court has the unenviable position of picking lesser evils when surrounded by manipulations while attracting incompetent zealots.

Everyone wants to be upset about the mistreatment of children, few good competent people able to support a difficult child actually want to take on that responsibility from someone else.
Maybe your stayed up later because that was the time your body was at its peak awareness. It could be conditioned that way, or it could be built into your genes.

After all, somebody had to stay up and keep watch all night when we lived in caves.
I mean, I disagree...I think cryptocurrency is more analogous to packet routing than to some specific piece of media. CD-ROMs in particular were an evolution of physical media that had been around for a century (vinyl record, 8-track, tape, etc) and failed to anticipate the fact that the internet would render them all obsolete (or, to be fair, provided an important bridge between floppy disks and high-speed internet, CD-ROMs were the default for a decade). I'd say they're more analogous to the kludgy way we perform online transactions today, which is complex, country-specific, and crowded by intermediaries.

I do agree "I'll store value using my cryptocurrency wallet" will sound anachronistic, in the same way "I'm going to dial in and log on to my service provider so I can surf the internet superhighway!" sounds quaint today. It'll just be: duh, how else would you do it? With a visa card?
It really is appalling. It’s not just icons; if you switch Finder to gallery view and look at some photos, the previews aren’t scaled properly. The only way I can describe it is that it looks like it was downsampled without any blending—as if they just picked every fourth pixel or something. Really jaggedy.

I fully appreciate that it’s never gonna look anywhere near as good as a display with 4x as many pixels, but it’s really, really bad. The same monitor on a Windows machine looks great!

There are a few flying prototypes of various sizes, so clearly there's a big flaw in your argument.

In principle you can burn hydrogen in a jet or even in an internal combustion engine. Both have already been shown to work. Fuel cells are another possibility of course. As far as I understand it, most plane manufacturers are already designing planes with hyrdogen as a power source. Particularly for big Jets, the consensus seems to be that that is happening.

The main challenge in the market is similar with what we've seen with existing car manufacturers. Changing technology disrupts them and threatens their profitability. So, you see companies that are talking the talk but not really committing to much beyond that. E.g. Airbus and Boeing have lots of fancy concept planes but not much in the line of actual planes being designed and marketed yet.

As for battery, there are several battery powered planes flying and certified (or in the process of being certified). Most of the companies behind those are following up with longer range versions that they've already announced.

Maybe aviation fuel goes a bit further but it is very expensive. Especially for general aviation, the value proposition might look pretty good a few years down the line with better ranges and charging speeds and lower cost. That does not even require that much in terms of breakthroughs in energy density either. Anything certified today is using battery tech that is several years old and was probably picked conservatively to speed up the process. That's just the nature of the certification process. What's flying legally today was the state of the art about half a decade ago in terms of batteries. Probably not that impressive compared to the latest electrical cars.
> So, how come it sounds like the sound of the plane is behind the plane? It's got to do with sound attenuation in the atmosphere and your hearing threshold.

Wait, does it have to be that complicated?

A plane flying X feet above you ought to make the same noise as a plane flying X/2 feet above you, except at 1/4 of the volume, and lagging by something like twice as much (meh trigonometry was never my forte). What am I missing?

That's like saying that hardware should be only repairable by vendor because majority of humanity doesn't have skills to fix it themselves.
It has practical value, let say you have something that caches the result of a lambda

record Cache<T, U>(Function<T, U> function) {
U get(T value) { ... }
}

you can use it that way

var cache = new Cache<Integer, Integer>(v -> v + 1);
var result = cache.get(3);

with that settings, how do you specify a lambda which is recursive ? and how can you cache the intermediary steps if you can change the signature of get() ?
>This line of reasoning is also popular among flat earthers

Yes, has been for centuries!
One way to do it is to allow budgets to change monthly. And have piggybanks (sinking funds) to either save up for future known expenses, or for unexpected expenses.

But yeah, since it’s impossible to forecast all expenses, budgets can’t ever be correct. But individual correctness is IMO not the point. They are valuable even if you just calculate mean values over a certain time period. We use budgets to allow the following:

- Identify blind spots in our spending (“omg we are spending _this much_ on XY??”)

- Ensure sufficient room for error in total (= having enough cash around for “known unknowns”)

- Having to track expenses does really reduce them (that which is measured, improves). I scan every single receipt to iCloud, and the simple act of doing that makes me conscious of not buying unneeded BS. Which leaves more money for things we consciously desire.

- Ensure we can afford new fixed expenses. Just looking at bank reports wouldn’t give us this info because the accounts are not clean: They contain all kinds of buffers, accumulated savings (some of them set aside for certain things) etc.
The problem is exacerbated by the insane charge management. By default, once the battery drops to 99% it will start charging. Keeping the battery at this charge level is harmful.

Dell provides a way to configure this, but who does that? By changing the default charge management, the battery life could be usable many years down the road. My 2015 XPS 13 battery still holds > 4 hours because of that.
> But there's a lot of evidence that many of them were created near-instantly, and they always leave a unique radiation signature.

I’m not aware of any such evidence.

My mum loved all things supernatural, occult, and so on — she took it all very seriously, but all her sources were either anecdotal or literally conspiracy theorists, never, for example, a CCTV camera or a Geiger counter.

What even is a “unique radiation signature” in this context? Is this in the same sense that DHMO is “a deadly industrial solvent”?
What the…?

This fact will haunt me in my dreams :-p
Maybe you don't, but somebody else does.
Yes, using a lossy image format for pixel art or images with a small number of colors in general has always been a a bad idea. Many people do not see the artefacts, but they are there, and the fact that the file size is even bigger with lower quality does not make it better.

BTW, the images also contain a grid, so you would need at least three colors, which requires 2 bit per pixel before compression.

One of the most interesting things is that Sears shut down its catalog business in 1993, right before Amazon was started.

> in which case, ya need 1440p or better

You can’t really get 1440p monitors any smaller than 27” though. And I have a (really quite good) 27” 1440p monitor and it looks like dog shit on macOS. Same monitor under Windows looks great. Sure it doesn’t hold a candle to my MacBook’s own 220ppi screen but it handily outclasses whatever the hell macOS is doing at 1x scaling
There's less "stuff" in the mRNA vaccines than in any other.

So for example, the fatal blood clotting conditions with the adenovirus-vectored vaccines turns out to be due to the binding of PF4 onto the adenovirus capsid causing an autoimmune reaction to PF4 after it is "ingested" intracellularly. This doesn't happen with mRNA vaccines because there's no capsid or anything else.

You're getting exactly the same mRNA payload with those, but you're wrapping it with a pile of other crap that you can have autoimmune reactions to.

Similarly inactivated virus is not just the mRNA payload of the virus but all the rest of the viral machinery, surface proteins, nucleocapsid, etc. All of those get presented. Plus you probably need an additional adjuvant to stimulate your immune system. And the chemical makeup of the mRNA in the inactivated virus will trigger the innate immune system to kill the cells presenting it (the use of pseudouridine in the mRNA vaccines makes the mRNA look more host-like so that the cells don't get killed before presenting antigen on MHC). The risks of autoimmune conditions will stack based on how much more mRNA and proteins are present in the payload.

There's a benefit of the inactivated virus in that you also get antibodies and T-cells to other proteins, including nucleocapsid, etc, but we just haven't seen any clinical net benefit after triple-vaccination (and if anything the outcomes of inactivated virus are slightly worse -- although after triple-vaccination HK studies have shown that they're comparable and that inactivated virus isn't particularly worse).
A couple questions if you have a minute:

1. Did you load the example scenario and run that?

2. If not, try checking that the fields in the Market & Portfolio tab are all filled out, or set it to "Automatic Weights".

I see a few errors relating to validation on that page, so that seems like the most likely culprit.

I'll work on some better messaging for that particular error as well. In the meantime, I've updated the defaults to use the automatic weights, so that should be less common for new users.
