Meh. Any group has their wacky extremist. Their existence is nothing new.

I just listened to a Vox Conversation where the guest said fat phobia wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for black people or slavery. It was insane and I felt like I lost IQ listening to it; but it would be naive to think the other ends of the political spectrum isn’t also crazy. That’d be like saying Alex Jones represents the Republican Party.

Elon describes himself as a moderate, the closer to the center you are the easier it is to go back and forth over the party line. Don’t read too much into it.
Historically 90% of families will lose their wealth within 3 generations. How does that jive with "people will save too much" when it seems rather intuitive monetary policy has nothing to do with how a grandkid who has never worked a day in their life, spends money?
I believe there's some misunderstanding. I meant letting them know who you are, but giving incorrect information about your beliefs and thoughts. I still believe that giving incorrect information can be very effective.

Even if Google/NSA knows your name, they can only see the online activity that you choose to do. You can intentionally choose to give them very incorrect online activity.

For example, intentionally visit websites (manually or automated) that you don't believe it. This will trip up their algorithm. How are they supposed to know what you actually think or believe in?
Laws are a political thing not a justice system thing. The justice system enforces the laws and penalties. I guess they can choose not to enforce laws, but again, politics....
You clearly have strong opinions about things you don’t understand or have any experience with.
Besides being too much for me, I'm not sure it's a good thing. I'm not sure if making random (or all) actions in random apps 'satisfying' (or maybe rewarding and thus causing a dependency and a distraction at the same time) is a good thing. Despite the obvious good intentions of the post.

Like the obsession around inbox zero, if it's still a thing. (I remember, my then-business-partner discovered it during the early days of our first startup. He freaked out that I had tens of thousands of unread emails. I saw inbox zero-ing as an unproductive obsession. Though we had very different roles, me working mostly on the technology.)
It's Roboto Mono with a mostly-transparent layer drawing the "scanlines" on top of the whole page using CSS linear-gradient.
You are arguing that the weight difference between the containers (not the contents, which usually--rationally!--far outweigh their container) is going to wear more rubber off the tires and into the environment than the truckload of plastic containers themselves. That is ridiculous.
Lawmakers urge Google to tackle misleading abortion search results
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. There was another tool called something like "noisify". It intentionally visited random websites or clicked on random links to trip up any algorithm tracking you. That idea was fascinating.
iirc lots of Japanese manga artists are also anonymous. Like the author of the recently popular Jujutsu Kaisen series [1], who appeared on TV wearing a mask of one of his characters [2]

Upper class needs more organs? Make more death penalty crimes ;)
ELI5? The ideas are interesting but I need help understanding.
And their revenue is dollar denominated. Even if the volume of coins traded remained the same, if the dollar-denominated value of those coins drop then so does revenue.
You can never really write an e2e test that's guaranteed to leave the system in a known state at the end, especially if you're relying on these "low-level" APIs that themselves may well have bugs introduced into them, but even if you just rely on O/S commands to delete files and SQL commands (issued via some command-line tool) to clean up data, things can and do go wrong.
I would think it's simpler just to have the test scripts start with the necessary commands to initialize a "clean slate", and don't worry about whether resources get cleaned up as expected as the tests run (that's certainly the method I've used over the last few years). It's often very useful to leave resources in place at the end of an e2e test run to help troubleshoot problems that might occur anyway.
Of course you may well also need e2e tests to test DB migration etc. of an existing set of resources, but I'd think that's best handled separately, and to be honest those sorts of problems usually get found out quickly by just running deployments to existing non-prod environments.
you can walk on the floats between the panels, see: https://www.dynamicslr.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/floati...
How about an example? I still don't see how it's possible in a decentralized system but go ahead prove me wrong. I'm not trying to be offensive I'm genuinely curious.
Hey! That’s cool!

Thanks!
We may currently be in a recession. The second quarter GDP numbers aren't out.

Any idea how it would expect you to handle negative demand shock first, then inflation driven by a subsequent supply shock (instead of or in addition to increased money supply)?
> Historically 90% of families will lose their wealth within 3 generations.

Wait, that's really interesting! Where did you read that?
Mechanical Turk proves the business model, you just need to gamify the experience for people.
You can because when you say 100% faster, it is referring to speed, and so you convert to speed than calculate time from that. Language matters :)
> might reduce the time they can spread it to more at risk people or possibly reduce the viral load

That the vaccines could do this (especially for the new variants) was never demonstrated in any rigorous randomized controlled trials whatsoever, and if anything the experience of highly vaxxed countries and jurisdictions (hello, Bay Area!) suggests that they are actually increasing the rate of infection. It's possible that the main effect of the vaccines is to suppress immune response, which helps prevent the immune-induced cytokine storm which leads to severe disease, but also allows for higher asymptomatic viral loads.

The reference to "inconvenience" shows you are really either unfamiliar or obtusely dismissive of the skeptics' reasons for declining COVID vaccines.
So you’re not even willing to give up more than 5% of your income and redistribute if yet you think everyone else should and you justify it by the fact that you work on open source audio software? I’m sure people struggling really appreciate that

So let’s say we redistribute the entire economy to each working age person (even though you are personally not willing to), how do we fund health care, infrastructure, education, people who need more than that from the government, etc? Who is going to invest in business? Do you suggest we tax everyone so that they have equal income? Should the fry cook make as much as the brain surgeon? Who is going to pay for the education needed for the more skilled jobs and what motivation does the doctor have to put in 8 additional years of school if they could make just as much money as the fry cook?

My children are grown, should my wife and I get the same income that someone with two special needs children get?

My parents are retired and doing pretty well for themselves with two pensions and two social security checks. Should we also tax them enough to make things more equal and tell them that they don’t deserve to keep their income after working 30 years?

That $66K might be enough for someone living in the MiddleOfNowhere Nebraska. But it won’t be enough for someone living in Seattle. Do we also redistribute people across the United States to make the cost of living equal?

What’s to stop me from just moving overseas where I can take my talents and make more money and then you have a brain drain?
A gotcha that I think's lurking here is that there's no opportunity to appeal the classifications you're bucketed into. Meaning that even if you give 'it' incorrect data, the way you get bucketed could still have a negative impact on your life.

Hypothetical, imagine your fake profile indicates you are a minority in some demographic dimension that is now out of favor politically. The dragnet would not really care if it happens to be true for you or not.

I'm recalling the Turkish cleansing of a local religious sect from all government jobs when its two leaders had a falling-out. This could happen in any country, imo.
There are not significant limitations to scale other than the usual economic reasons. There are competing uses of many reservoirs, however - likely recreational boaters would strongly oppose taking over large sections of reservoirs, so floating solar is more likely going to be located in practice near to the dams / in existing keep-out zones.

Yes, those claims are technically correct, in the same way that the claims we could power all of humanity's needs with a fraction of the sahara desert are also technically correct. In practice, competing needs for the water bodies and especially the cost of transmission lines / the lower cost of nearby desert land for many of the sites means that it's certainly an oversimplification.
Nobody is denying advertising works. But most of the time ads are trying to win you over vs competitors in the market. Most of it is predicated on the fact that you are in the market for something, and they want you to choose them over someone else. I doubt coca-cola is targeting non-soda drinkers in their advertisements. But they want you to pick coke over Pepsi.

Even if you create an open source drug that cures cancer and give it away for free, you’re gonna need a marketing campaign so that doctors know about it, or that patients know to ask their doctor about it. Not because you’re malicious and trying to manipulate people but because otherwise people who would benefit from your product won’t know it exists.
As someone with an inbox-zero obsession, I don't pretend to have any logical justification for it, I just really don't like seeing those unread markers. Same for any app that shows any kind of "look here" marker.

For my personal email, inbox-zero generally means actually reading most emails I get, because I aggressively unsubscribe/mark spam/auto-delete emails I don't want to get. My work email gets a lot more emails I don't need to look at, so there is a lot of automatic filtering and "mark all as read".

My main practical use-case is that I will leave emails unread intentionally if I can't deal with them at the moment. If I had thousands (or even dozens) of unread emails I'd have to track those separately.
really, the competition against cheap desert land is what makes the difference - that is why it really makes sense in places with limited land (Japan, South Korea, eastern China, coastal California, etc)
Yes, wasted resources, propagation delays, overhead... the future. There is a reason web based forums ate usenet's lunch, and email is a largely unusable mess.
That hit home. Ouch.
It's not common, but it does sometimes. My initial opinion was formed on what the media said. Then a couple years later that I read it for myself and saw that it did not align with the narrative.
Like Greg I'm also a circa 60 year old W.Australian STEM arena coder/weddings/parties/anything person.

It's a bit of a state wide trait to be general while leaving a semi challenging last mile problem.

Having a capital city described by early US personnal in orbit as "the most remote city in the world" leads to a mild village syndrome when outsiders come asking for <insert specific name> .. who wants to know & how come you don't know already?

As for gender, roughly a third of the math | physics | comp sci staff were female in the early 1980s (Cheryl E Praeger and others) and a number spent the early Usenet days with nome de guerra to sidestep the complications.
> I’ve also seen instances of people mortgaging their house and using their life's saving to buy monkey pictures

Really? Really? I really want to meet these people. I feel like it will be the new beanie baby documentary (there's actually a really interesting one about how the craze started called Beanie Mania). Just blows my mind. But I wonder how many of these cases are real, and how many are just memes? Hard to tell these days on the internet.
> BUT, you have to account for 50% of it being lost to waste heat in an internal combustion engine

What's the efficiency of a battery-powered system in flight? E.g. disregarding ground charging and grid supply.

(edit) Wikipedia says ~95% for a generic electric motor and ~85% for a generic lithium-ion battery for a very rough estimate of about 80% efficiency in toto.
Interesting point. I guess one way to avoid that could be making them believe that you are on their (govts) side? Intentionally click on pro-govt websites, etc.

If there is a conflict and you don't know who will come out on top, either support both of them (one actual support and one fake) or don't support either of them.

Either way, I believe that this topic of giving incorrect information is worth looking more into.
Is your middle ground the same as what you listed in basic things? You always surf in incognito mode?
The problem is they will be present AFTER the accident for the investigation and then find out what shortcuts were taken and who was at fault/irresponsible.
2009 seems to be the start of what I'd call the iPhone era. 2011 would be the latest.
Agrivoltaics are far more expensive, and farmers have to change their behavior significantly. Floating solar doesn't require any of that partnership and ongoing behavioral change, just slightly more expensive up-front costs.

Also - in SB county, there is an ordinance banning utility-scale solar within the county (thanks local zoning laws....). We get exempted because the reservoir is federal land.
culi was not engaging in vague doom-and-gloom, he was referring to the specific phenomenon where highly committed minority interests tend to win out over apathetic majorities. If you want to avoid this outcome, you need to come up with a solution specifically designed to combat this tendency.
I just Googled "get abortion", and the top two links are to Planned Parenthood, and the 3rd link is to a hospital that offers abortions through the 2nd trimester. I live near Boston. Are the results different in other parts of the country?

I don't think it's a bad thing for a woman considering abortion to come across places that will try to dissuade her. It is a grave and irrevocable decision.

This paper seems like it’s drawing awfully strong conclusions for such thin data. In particular, there’s one (to me) obvious link which the authors don’t seem to have considered: both mental health care (seeing a therapist, diagnoses of a mental illness, etc) and unusual hair coloration are generally the result of self-introspection.

It seems like the Occam’s Razor explanation of this correlation is not “hair might be a means of scaring or at least confusing potential threats” (????), it’s that people who think more about what they want out of life are both more likely to see a therapist (“hm, I feel terrible a lot, what can I do about that?”) and a stylist (“hm, I need a splash of color, what can I do about that?”).

(The initial part of the discussion section has some interesting hypotheses, including one regarding strong expression of identity as a tool to cope with feeling a lack of control, but the third paragraph seems confused, very speculative, and likely to be contraindicated by the statistical controls.)

[Edit: this comment was reworded and expanded significantly after posting, as I realized I had more thoughts to say.]
It's nothing new. Body modifications (tattoos, piercings, colored hairs, etc.) have long been correlated with mental illness.
I recently found out that authors in the literary world often know each other's "pen names" -- it's a mutal professional respect that stops people from outing each other, not "opsec".

I'd try to take reasonable precautions, maybe cloud things a little.

I used to "post like a Canadian" sometimes -- include little references to Ottawa or poutine or whatever, throw in a few OUs... looks like you could do the opposite and be careful to write more "American" on your next project.

Also if you really want to go insane, start looking into styleometry, then styleometry as applied to code, here's two good starting points:

https://www1.icsi.berkeley.edu/~sadia/papers/anonymouth.pdf

https://oar.princeton.edu/bitstream/88435/pr1q24c/1/Deanonym...

Just small things, like writing a script that swaps tabs for spaces, single quotes for double quotes... anything that automates changing some very human part of your writing style, similar to how a handwritten note often has specific ways people cross a T or dot an i, will get you far, since your adversary will probably not assume you've been clouding your data since the 2000s or whatever.
Sorry to hear. Binary trees and related concepts (binary search, for example) are super useful and relatively basic, so they can usually be found in any introduction to algorithm and data structures. If you want to try again, do some studying of that. It will definitely help your programming skills in general!

This, by the way, can easily be the kind of concept that you don't think you need until you learn about it, suddenly figuring out that you've been writing very inefficient code before.
I feel like the repo is a better starting point. Mobile support is pretty cool! I also saw some demo of it running over the web in-browser, Blazor style, but I'm not sure where that's at these days.

The red button is also lacking some really subtle queues if the press is cancelled. On mobile, touch the button and drag-scroll, and the button should not remain down. On desktop, ctrl-click and the button should not press, or click down on your mouse and press [ESC], and the button should cancel (I think - I am not on my desktop).

Most controls have a bunch of really subtle and unobvious platform dependant behaviour. Often control replacements/skins lose subtle behaviours.

In my opinion the timing of a very quick tap on the button feels off on my iPad - although I’m unsure if that could be improved with CSS or JavaScript.
I've been looking for something similar too, an explanation of the financial system written out in code so that I can try understand it.
Couldn't have said it better. Pain is a critical sense for example, but lingering and debilitating pain is not useful, pain killers exist for a reson as do anxiety medications.

What i meant in the original comment was that anxiety and fear don't just go away they have a tendency to develop an addiction (for lack of a better word)
And yes! I agree it's a no-brainer.
Big barriers:
1) Getting all the stakeholders to agree (US Bureau of Reclamation, the local reservoir joint-powers authority, the Santa Barbara city council, the local utility, etc)
2) Avoiding NIMBYs and those that might be worried about ecosystem effects (e.g. Audubon society). While the evidence suggests it's not an issue for wildlife, those folks tend to be very conservative (even if they are missing the forest for the trees, IMO)
So to start, we can agree then that Tesla isn't the first car company to scale in a "long time", right?

I disagree that Tesla has done better on a global scale. Tesla requires 10x more subsidies per vehicle, doesn't own their battery supply chain, took longer to be profitable, made significant amounts of money from reservations they are yet to fulfill, etc...

For all the talk of gigantic governmental pushes, the US still supports Tesla far more than China supports BYD simply by offering 5-7x more in subsidies per vehicle.

I think, on the global scale, that BYD has done better and is doing better, as far as scale - they make almost as many cars as Tesla but also make far more than cars, such as buses, trucks, industrial equipment, various electronics - markets that Tesla has been unsuccessful in. The fact that they do so on lower revenue is a sign to me that they can simply produce more efficiently, ie, better at scaling.
OSHA has 2200 employees. They're not a large agency.

That being said, they're like the SEC (which only has around 4800) in that they heavily rely on employees (and incidental bystanders) to report unsafe worksites. The fact that you haven't had to interact with them is either a really good or really bad thing.
One minor suggestion: Make the Up and Down div "buttons" return false when clicked, so that their text is not highlighted when they're clicked.

Also, if you make them <button> elements instead of <div>, your page will be more accessible to users who depend on their user-agent to know what type of controls they are.
> The Fed has updated its approach to monetary policy, and the changes are not readily accommodated within the existing structure of the game. As of June 1, 2021, the game is no longer available.

Honestly, that's incredibly lame. Just stop promoting it and put up a message explaining why you believe it's inaccurate. That would actually be interesting.
Via ferratas are almost always embedded into pure rock, generally limestone, right? Brick and mortar is quite a bit different.

It's statistically unsound bullshit by a far right eugenicist. Can we please move on?
I used to subscribe to Newsweek when it was marketed and printed in India and at non-USD prices. Tried New Yorker as well. Slowly it started becoming apparent they’re just American magazines mostly only about America somehow or the other and Newsweek stopped India print operations anyway.

Now it’s just Caravan monthly, Outlook weekly (Indian magazines). Biblio (Indian book review magazine).

I only read printed news. It’d be nice to subscribe to a few (better) International printed magazines. The ones that really covers the globe.
I might be a little closer? I'm in-game but it clearly doesn't work properly. https://web.archive.org/web/20160914125342/http://sffed-educ...
I don't know, I've been on flights with webcams on the nose/tail/belly and found those to be pretty entertaining. And it's available to every passenger, not just the window seats. If an airplane design really leaned in to the webcams, I think it could be fantastic!
Maybe I'm missing a key detail here. Let's say Alice, Bob and Carol (and no one else) are all mining bitcoin. For simplicity, one block is mined per day, the block reward is worth $300, and so the system is in equilibrium when they all spend $100 a day on electricity. Difficulty adjusts every 10 blocks.

Now the value of bitcoin drops precipitously - let's say they wake up one day and the block reward is worth $3. Let's say they all shut off their machines. Dave wakes up and sees no one is mining bitcoin, and thinks "I can be the last one standing". He now has to spend $300 * 10 = $3000 (in the worst case where the drop is right after the last adjustment) to mine ten blocks, for which he receives $30 worth of rewards.

But how does this help him? If the difficulty adjusts downward, Alice, Bob and Carol can all just start mining again. It's not like they're permanently locked out of the system because they turned off their mining rigs. So Dave has spent net $2970 for...what exactly? The ability to run a 51% attack and double spend to recoup his cost? To run the double-spend, he has to re-mine a second side chain at the way-too-high difficulty! I'm skeptical that this is an attractive proposition for Dave.
