This isn't true. Banning is _per-subreddit_, done by the respective mod teams. Your behaviour would need to be especially egregious for it to be picked up by the admins.

I think it’s more about perceived safety than about actual risks.

A design that is safe, but makes “the people” think it is dangerous is a failed design, as fewer people would use it.
You can reduce the number of cars without reducing the number of people. Human beings can, in fact, exist without a car. We can also reduce the amount of livestock we keep without reducing the number of people, by consuming less of it.

This seems really obvious. How is it manipulation?
As far as daily life goes, I do my reps in the morning and don’t really use SuperMemo much throughout the day.

Conservatives didn't spend anything close to all of their political capital, rather they have more now than they ever had, and getting rid of Roe has always been a pretext to banning abortions entirely. This isn't merely a political issue for them, it's religious and existential. Conservatives aren't just going to stop at Roe on principle, even though they have a lock on the Supreme Court. Clarence Thomas suggested they consider rolling back contraceptive rights and gay marriage as well. Of course he conveniently forgot about Loving v. Virginia but realistically that's on the table now too, because he seems to have forgotten the true nature of American politics and the ideology now in control of the Court. This isn't over by a long shot.
I disagree with what the article says.

If you follow no news or politics related subreddits, its a wholesome and friendly place (mostly) like it always was.

The mistake is thinking news and politics make good talking topics on the internet, on massive platforms like that. Headlines are the only thing people read, theres no genuine discussion, just people screaming as loud as they can, hoping their opinion ends up being the loudest.
I agree: it cannot be answered with certainty.

This is probably a good time to agree to disagree about the rest of it.

Yeah. In fairness someone did link a method that I think could my lock (and this one). Basically you attach a laser to it so you can very accurately tell how far the key turned. That gives you a way to test the pins even though you can't directly manipulate them.

Very very tedious though and I never tried it.
Imagine you ordered something from Amazon. It will take about 24 hours till it is at your doorstep. If all that time was spent travelling at 30 km/h, it could have come from 720 km or 450 miles.

In Switzerland, the distance from Geneva to St. Gall is around 360 km.

Container ships travel typically at 16 to 25 knots (between 30 and 36 km/h), and they do this traveling very long distances.

In other words, low speed does not really matter for many goods, especially in small countries.

And like the Old Confederacy, the New Confederacy also sees nothing wrong with forcing women to give birth only to take the baby away. Oh, sure, giving the baby up for adoption is “voluntary,” but how voluntary can it be in a country that doesn’t pay maternity leave and doesn’t effectively subsidize daycare? I, a married and well-paid IT worker, got 1800 EUR/mo for a year away from work and pay a bit over 400 EUR/mo for daycare from 7am-4pm (not quite enough to really work full time, but that’s another discussion).

Until the US is at least there, adoption is not really a free, uncompelled choice in forced-birth states like Texas.

I have a dear childhood friend whose birth mother was a college student who went through with the results of a foolish accident. I’m glad she did, because I love my friend, but I’m also glad that it was her choice to make; in late 70s Austin, she could have easily gotten an abortion. She was able to choose the adoptive parents, and got what she wanted for her baby: a well-off but childless Catholic family just far enough away to be unlikely to accidentally meet.
If you use —-link it uses the existing data files instead of copying, which is significantly faster (though I’m not sure what your definition of relatively small is).
I found it well written and easy to read. Was a little disappointed there didn't seem to be any conclusion or lesson "I'll try to get out more and talk to people". Perhaps the lack of a lesson was the main lesson.

Agreed, fructose combined with overeating will lead likely to problems, fructose alone often not.

But what do you make of this passage in the abstract of the linked paper?

> Thus, fructose can exert detrimental health effects beyond its calories and in ways that mimic those of ethanol, its metabolic cousin. Indeed, the only distinction is that because fructose is not metabolized in the central nervous system, it does not exert the acute neuronal depression experienced by those imbibing ethanol. These metabolic and hedonic analogies argue that fructose should be thought of as “alcohol without the buzz.”

As to your knowledge these claims about fructose and ethanol being "metabolic cousins" are false?
Do you have any references for this?

Please stop defending HFCS. If you've ever lived outside of the US for more than a week you'll realise what an offence to the pallet it is, let alone what it must be doing to your body.

Plus didn't we recently realise that fructose genuinely causes the gut to stop digesting good properly?... Overly processed sugar is also bad yes, but govt subsidised HFCS and corn bio-fuel are an affront to common sense.

It's not necessarily a pain for the users. It's a cultural thing. If you can change the culture, it's easy to do it with humans at the source. I'm in South Korea now and they sort all the garbage before even throwing it out. Different bins for different types of plastic, styrofoam, tetra pak containers, cardboard, glass, organic waste, etc. My brother-in-law, his kids, and I will take the garbage down and put it all into the right bin. No complaining, everyone thinks it's the proper thing to do. Makes it super easy to process each type of garbage correctly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recycling_in_South_Korea

South Korea didn't do it this way in the beginning. When I was in China a couple of years ago, they were just starting to process their garbage this way, though it'll take a while for them to really do it well. The interesting question is why it's so hard to get the west to handle things this way. I don't know Europe, they might be better, but I know North America, and wow, the people in North America really don't care about this kind of stuff in general.
What If Elden Ring Was Released on the SNES?
The total throughout (in cars/hour) is given by speed divided by effective length.

Effective length is the length of a carriage plus its share of the distance between trains, which is something like quadratic in speed (since kinetic energy also is)

So the total result is something (caution, probably there are other factors here, such as non-carrying cars like locomotives) like:

v
TP = ----------
Kv^2
L + ----
N

Where TP is throughput, v is speed, L is car length, N is cars per train and K is some constant that determines the head between trains.

To maximise throughput, you can't just crank up speed as you start to dominate the line with space between trains (as kV^2 grows). There will be a sweet spot when it is optimum. This applies as long as the braking distance of a train is super-linear, actually, so even if the distance is not quadratic in speed, say it was Kv^1.5, it still holds.

You can make trains longer (increase N) to reduce the number of spaces between trains. But this has its own practical issues.

You can also decrease K with better brakes or sensors that allow to brake earlier. But I imagine there's either a practical limit like forces on the tracks or trains, cost too much, or trains have what they have and can't be upgraded.

You can also make cars hold more per unit length, but that's also difficult in a fixed guage in tunnels.

Finally, if you're running trains as close as you can, there's no point running faster then the slowest train in the system. If a train at any point has to slow to 30kph, say for a corner or climb, that's the speed of the whole line.
That's pretty disingenuous, considering that the House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack is currently headline news.
I’m of two minds about this:

- On the one hand, for GitHub, 500k is nothing, just a PR move. For maintainers, $500 might make the difference between struggling to pay rent and having enough money to leave it in the bank, or having a nice dinner at the end of the month.

- On the other hand, for GitHub, 500k is nothing, just a PR move! If they really wanted to show appreciation for the maintainers that power a billion dollar business, more than a drop in the bucket would be great.

So, I guess it boils down to: that’s a great start, don’t stop there!

Wait, are you kidding? I thought you were talking about using it on desktop. New reddit is literally unusable on mobile. This is what it looks like for me (https://imgur.com/a/pa07d2c). New reddit isn’t just unusable, it is literally nonfunctional. I can only imagine it’s been deliberately destroyed to drive people away from the web over to the app. They do something similar with links. All links from new reddit have their underscores "escaped" with \. Basically they corrupt the URL. If you’re on old reddit, you get these bad links and have to fix them yourself, but new reddit does it for you, of course.
Romanticism, that sweet youthful foolishness. Living tragically can be beautiful, and lead to deep despair.
A separate function requires a mental "push/pop context" when reading the code to find and read the called function and then returning to the caller function, a simple scope block doesn't require such mental stack gynmastics (yes, some IDEs can help by visually inlining the called function back into the caller function, but that's just undoing an action that probably shouldn't have happened in the first place).
Meet your average Millennial American office worker: generalizing, but it's a prevalent pattern: they tend to be 25 to 35, either party like they're 17 or are un-social hermits, mouth-off risking trouble in the real world, and are self-absorbed. It's the result of failures in education and parenting with extended adolescence, absentee parenting punctuated by helicopter parenting, and not enough challenges.

Education needs to practically instill theory of mind, The Golden Rule, teamwork, cooperation, conflict resolution, life skills, and a foundation of knowledge and curiosity. If it can't do all of that and is going to obsess over standardized tests rather than excellence, then it's going to produce dysfunctional adults.
Why does everyone assume when you say "traditional" you mean go back to the horse and cart. Is this an American thing? I...

Progress has been made on improving the efficiency of small farms of diversified crop types. It's what most of farming in Europe was until the 90s and we didn't have "slaves". I get it your past is coloured by greed and hubris but please don't let it be clouding common sense.

Unfortunately the larger EU nations started to adopt more mega farming practices which just led to problems, food reserve mountains and now they're reaping the bad decisions.

It's hilarious how actual research in the area keeps saying smaller fields, let ground go back to wild every few years as part of a rotation and growing rapeseed is probably better than directly dumping chemicals into the soil for altering the soil content.
Based on how the EU and UN worked out a world government sounds like a disaster.
That's no different than saying I believe we need world peace. It's not a very interesting thing to say. If you have an idea how to bring this about then that would interesting to read - a probable process of creating a world government.
Anyone aware of userspace application firewalls that be run for a process from cli? No requiring system level configs/packages or root privileges.

Something like this:

app_firewall --block all --allow www.google.com ./my_untrusted_application

Or like this:

app_firewall --rules my_employer_network.conf ./untrusted_employer_application

Then you can do cool stuff like:

app_firewall --block microsoft.com qemu my_dirty_windows_virtual_machine.qcow
Because Microsoft is incapable of doing both. They will keep taking more than they give back. I'd rather have someone keep $500 than give it to me so they can go around and brag about it and then later find out they've been using my stuff without my permission because they felt like I owed it to them.

Ive seen my share of drunks....but aside from coomuters actively avoiding them...no cops ever got involved.

In my experience, its fairly common to see an avg salaryman drunk after work drinks. Usually the tell is a very red blush and borderline falling asleep or just acting drunk, but not loud.

That being said, i dont think i saw teenagers. Or groups of drunks.

Are you saying in cases of group of drunks people, cops got involved?
This is what I'm talking about. Are we commenting on a news report of someone actually doing what you're describing - filling a suit or legal action of any kind against MS for this?

No, we're not. Further, Amazon just announced a similar product and Salesforce has literally _released weights_ for their code models. You can't put the genie back in the bottle.

Actually enforcing any action when the representations are learned rather than hard-coded just seems impossible to me. They have a check box that removes any predictions matching existing code - that basically makes it impossible to discern the source since this will be based on some subjective "semantic closeness" BS.
In my case. We have an internal REST like api. It mostly is just a wrapper around our python ORM but returns JSON.

> Clarence Thomas suggested they consider rolling back contraceptive rights and gay marriage as well.

No, he flat out stated that all substantive due process precedent, including but not limited to the cases establishing the right to same sex marriage, marital contraception, and freedom against sodomy laws, are “demonstrably erroneous” and that it is obligatory for the Court to “correct the error” that they represent.

Substantive due process, though, effects far more than the examples he pointed to, and he is very clear that he means the entire body needs to be reversed, not just those examples.
Other than validation, I can imagine several good reasons why one might want to wrap a primitive inside a class.

For example, you may have a function:

group_by_age() -> Dict[int, List[str]]

which might be perfectly good for your use case, but I can see why one might instead prefer:

group_by_age() -> Dict[Age, List[CustomerId]]

for self-documentation and expressiveness.

Your test assertions may also become easier to read:

assert group_by_age() == {
Age(23): [
CustomerId("0471"),
CustomerId("3390"),
],
Age(42): [
CustomerId("2334"),
],
}

No good deed goes unpunished. They didn’t have to do this, and now that they did, not surprisingly people (who probably aren’t even the recipients) are complaining that the amount is too tiny, the donation isn’t ongoing, etc.

Maybe because it can be read as if I were arguing in favor of eating more meat.

I am not. I am just pointing out why primitive advice such as "Just replace the meat in your diet with grain" might lead to new problems.

As far as I know people who eat too little protein, overeat on stuff like grains for this very reason. The body wants the protein.

Climate change etc. should be handled by international agreements.

If there is no competition between countries, governments tend to turn their despotic energies on their own citizens. There would be nowhere for Snowden or Assange to go. If your social credit score is ruined, it is ruined worldwide.
