> I FOIA requested a lot of universities

FOIA only applies to federal government agencies, universities (other than ones operates by the federal government, like the service academies) aren't subject to it.

State universities might be covered by state sunshine laws that are similar to FOIA, and generally the laws and policies around those only require a request from the public and aren't too particular about form or citing a completely wrong and irrelevant legal basis, so in that case an “FOIA” request might actually have some legal effect. But most private universities would just see it as a particularly pompously written discretionary request.
This infographic does a nice job showing which are from the struts and which from the mirrors: https://webbtelescope.org/contents/media/images/01G529MX46J7...

Of course, the JWST without its struts and its mirrors wouldn't be much of a telescope! So the diffraction spikes are a part of doing business and also have the helpful side effect of allowing us to quickly know which objects are stars vs galaxies, since only the former have the really prominent spikes.
That's an entirely separate concern. By all means, if paramedics don't feel safe going somewhere, then give them police escorts. The point is not to say "the police cannot come", it's to say "the police should not come unless someone asks for the police".
No. It's been decades since I read the book but the concept is simple and quickly in understood and doesn't need a book-length treatment. He doesn't give any guidance on how to achieve the flow state which is what I was looking for.
Well thanks: I haven't paid any attention to that ‘feature’ before, but now I will inevitably notice it sometime.

Hopefully I can kill it with CSS via Stylish.
Reality is much crazier than that. Some of the distant galaxies are causally disconnected from us: they're receding faster than the speed of light (by one out of the several definitions), and will (probably) continue to do so, so no information can travel between us. No causal interaction is possible. It's as if they were practically no longer a part of this universe -- they can't affect anything here, and nothing here can affect them.

(I'm not certain on this point, but I think some of the high-redshift galaxies we can see in deep field images are now causally disconnected. We're receiving some of their old light, but we can't send anything back anymore -- they've faded out into infinite redshift).

edit: Here's an article about this idea by Ethan Siegel, and its HN discussion thread (thanks 'petilon for helping me remember the author):

If one is innocent until proven guilty, then using violence against them before their trial is by definition an extrajudicial punishment, even if they ultimately deserve it.

This is why we should strongly advocate for non-violent apprehension pretty much across the board. There must be better strategies than shooting at or even killing someone before they get a trial.
Imperial Japan was arguably worse than Nazi Germany. Unbelievably bad.
It's more likely they'd target him because he's unwilling/unable to defend himself. I've read a lot about the US prison system and culture, giving stuff away doesn't get you respect or friendship.

Also to note most commissary stores have monthly purchase limits. Doesn't matter how much money your account has, you still have the same access to commissary as everyone else.
Like the Goldman Rep says in The Big Short, "If you offer us free money, we ARE going to take it..."
Kotlin. Its compatibility story with Java is great (although you obviously will lose some benefits such as guaranteed null-safety when interfacing with Java code). It's multi-paradigm and supports FP well, as well as DSLs. You probably can't (or shouldn't) go as crazy with your types as in Haskell or Scala, but you do get more or less concise sum (sealed classes) and product (data classes) types, as well as generics. Plus, if you use IntelliJ, the tooling is great.

In Firefox (102.0.1), I see only the bottom-left 25% of the playfield.

This assumes that the sample of murders over the population is uniformly distributed. But I think it's very obvious this is not the case!

Would you please read up on the kinds and degrees of relationships between perpetrator and victim in the statistics? You will find that the vast majority of cases involve two people who already have a prior relationship, and typically a close relationship either in a social or business sense.

Random murders happen so rarely, you can be confident in the assumption that your family is safe unless you get involved with some sketchy people. But then, it's your responsibility to avoid those people, not the city's job to do that work for you.

Yup, we are at the center because we are the observer. Presumably everyone anywhere would appear to be at the center, just as you appear to be the center of your world and I appear to be the center of mine.
To add to what the others said, I think it was mentioned previously that one of the things being released tomorrow is spectra of an exoplanet's atmosphere.

We get paid by the electric company to power our farm with our 80kw diesel generator on hot afternoons in Kansas, precisely because of the high demand during that time.

We've run the numbers, and it actually does pay for us to do it.

This afternoon was one of those days.
You can also just have dispatch send both, but just have the cops there nearby for backup vs. being the first person into the situation. Hell, I'm reasonably mentally stable, but if I got a knock at the door and there's a uniformed police officer outside, I'm immediately in "oh god something awful has happened/will happen" stress and more likely to shut down or do something odd.
Huh? 3D printed guns work very well and are super common among criminals in Europe.

I feel like I just got rick-rolled. I love it; brudgers, you are a mad genius.
A good example of this is the Black Legend [1]. A lot of the anti-Spanish colonialism sentiment we see, even today, is due to the war between England and the Spanish empire and anti-Catholicism. For example, even some of the accusations against Columbus are not the product of 'wokeness', but old polemics reasserted in a modern context. Non-English accounts tend to be less critical, which makes sense, since England had everything to gain from painting Spanish colonial efforts in this way. Contrary to popular belief today, many of Columbus's contemporaneous regular citizens would have been appalled at some of the allegations levied against him.

Yes, but it's irrelevant.

> My 1000 years number is a rough guess, and it could be shorter or even longer than that. I was thinking since physics breaks down that you would have to endure being spaghettified whilst still being able to feel and have nerves intact and thinking capacity.

A lot of bulk purchasers of crypto already do this via dark pools, at a discount, to avoid tanking the spot price.
Yeah I guess I've just never been in a situation where making the definition of error type take ~1 minute vs ~5 minutes (for example) was a difference maker. Firstly because the frequency of defining new error types is so low. And secondly because it often takes me longer to even figure out what the error type should look like. The savings from 'thiserror' is basically just in the noise for me.

I would use it if it were in 'std' though. I would also use it in a project that already had a lot of dependencies, since it's likely such a project is probably already bringing in the proc-macro stuff.
Yep, all on it together. But governments in China and Russia don’t have to care about their populations’ wellbeing. They can do bad things and then violently repress dissent.

Western democracies can do that only to a very limited degree. That’s why economic interdependence doesn’t work with autocracies.
Nice idea. I like that there is gravity as acceleration, so there is an advantage to keeping it low (but also a danger!)
As someone with formerly a connection to the astronomy world, I am certainly glad to see attention on this achievement.

But I also know that the science + research community should also be grateful for the general public's complete lack of memory or understanding of the science, that keeps them coming back and fawning over press releases like this and in a way keeps the field funded. (The cynic in me says thank the lord for the new people each year who get to rediscover the beauty of old images for the first time.)

For all they know, the image released today could've been a snapshot from WFPC2 HDF 20 years ago or ACS UDF from 10 years ago -- the images look basically the same to the outsider's eye! Very little about the image itself visually tells you that it's in the IR. Much like some medical research "breakthrough" that gets touted that could've been the same announcement from 20 years ago, no lay person really knows the difference.

Still, sincere congratulations on decades of waiting.

edit: No, I am not saying that the images are a repost... obviously. Read my message more carefully.
Did you live out in the wilderness that whole time or travel around out of a backpack? The two are obviously very different so am curious your experience. I have had friends who have backpacked along the PCT, CDT, AT, etc. and they all returned different people.
> Could be bad intuition.

This actually does seem to be bad intuition to me, because your intuitive explanation isn't being expressed in terms of strategies. You wouldn't want to "attack this frontline unit" but would want to have a probability distribution over your potential options. This is similar how you wouldn't want to "play rock" in RPS, but would instead want to play {R: 1/3, P: 1/3, S: 1/3}.

In a certain sense the thing that is "different" about imperfect information is that you shouldn't play as if you are making only one decision. You should play as if you are in multiple different game states at the same time.

FWIW, I don't think detracts from your point about it being possible to simplify the game, just your reasoning explaining the "why" we ought to seems off to me.
So the evidence proved their case for the main charges - as demonstrated by the jury’s guilty verdict. The government then provides a sentencing recommendation and Ross’s lawyers can dispute anything the government claims. The bar for the sentencing enhancements is “a preponderance of evidence” which is something akin to 51% vs guilty / not-guilty which requires the jury to be convinced “beyond a reasonable doubt” or closer to 100%.

The judge weighed the evidence, weighed Ulbricht’s lawyers’ responses and found a preponderance of evidence that he did indeed order the hits which enhanced (extended) the sentence he was given.

It’s been awhile since I looked at the transcripts but at the time I couldn’t believe how bad his lawyers were. They offered almost no reply to damning accusation after damning accusation.

Cynical question: does TrackerDetect also participate in AirTag tracking and location reporting? By installing their app in an effort to protect myself from bad actors on their system, am I extending their system into a previously inaccessible platform?

Or is that being saved for the v2 release when they respond to the demand that it be an always-on service and not require manual scans?

Why not? Intuition says that it should. So I think that’s what GP is trying to understand.

It seems like you’ve substituted their model with yours but haven’t explained how yours works.
The test was to see which had a longer range: the new GMC Sierra (24 gallon tank) or the Ford Lightning.

But it wasn't a test of comparable vehicles. The Sierra has the EV equivalent of an 808 kWh battery vs 131 kwh in the Lightning. And the starting range of the GMC (when not towing) is theoretically more than double that of the Lighting.

So the Lightning could never have won this test. Which, based on scrolling through the types of stories that website posts, was kind of the point.
Yes, but we need to change how we treat each other.

I for once don't care about Nato or trading oil in USD, but nevertheless the US government thinks it has the right to make everybodys life miserable if people don't care enough about those things. Same goes for the trade war between China and the US. Nobody except some corporations and greedy politicians really care.

This shit needs to end. It is literally killing us all. And we must stop buying and producing crap we don't really need.

I think that Dish doesn't want to sell the rights, at least not for a small sum. In the documentary "The Last Blockbuster", they discuss how the rights to continue to use the name for the store are renegotiated every X amount of years (I think it's 3?) and that if the deal doesn't go through that it's essentially the end of the store.
Definitely. But it won't matter.
The two above rules are true regardless of hours on your storage, make, model, or technology. ;)
3 grams of protein per potato isn't much. If you're using this diet to lose weight you'll be eating say 1500 kcal per day of potatoes (leaving some allowance for oils), which will only give you ~39g of protein.

That's definitely below what most people need as a healthy minimum (RDA is 0.8g per kg of bodyweight), let alone if you want to build muscle while dieting which is a good idea for improving health. At the very least you want to maintain muscle mass, which requires protein if you're exercising.

If I was going to try this diet I would definitely supplement some protein shakes.
AOE2 is wonky, but that's what makes it good.

Villagers collide with each other, forcing you to find new tree-lines (compared to Starcraft/Starcraft2 SCVs/workers which "stack" on each other for maximum mineral collecting at all times).

Units in AOE2 move terribly, minimizing what you can do with micro (sure, micro is still possible, but this ain't no "magic box Psi Storm", nor a 11-muta harass here). AOE2 "micro" is largely delegated to patrol-shennanigans and "zvzvzvz" (staggered formation / flank-formation) for dodging magonel shots.

-------

SC2 had units deathball too easily with perfect flocking behavior. The 90s-style crappy flocking behavior / collisions (aka: idiotic Dragoons from SC:Brood War or AOE2 pathing issues) somehow balances the game for the better.

Once units "deathball" too easily, you end up with well... deathball-style combat. By making units get less-efficient the bigger the group (ie: Dragoons going the wrong direction or getting stuck in paths, or AOE2 units running around not understanding how to attack the damn enemy cause the group is too big), it forces the players into controling smaller groups and more strategically using them.

Which seems like more fun? Its annoying because the "units don't do what you want them to do" (and SC2 units really "do what you want them to do"). But... somehow its less balanced with the SC2 approach.

-------

The key to a good strategy game is to accept and recognize the duality of Lanchester's Linear Law (ie: Risk rules), and Lanchester's Quadratic Law (ie: Axis and Allies).

If you overly focus on the Quadratic law, you end up with death-balls.

If you overly focus on the linear law, it feels like additional units don't support each other and the game feels very flat (ie: Risk-like).

But if you have a rich continuum between the two laws, you end up with great gameplay (Starcraft: Brood War, AOE2, and Hearts of Iron 3).

Let units get quadratically stronger as they flock together... but only to a point. (IE; the size of the front in Hearts of Iron 3. Or until the "Magic Box size" in Starcraft:Brood War). Once the units grow beyond that, they need to be hampered and grow more linearly, encouraging a more diverse set of combat situations.
I watched Battleship Potemkin the other day. Sure, some of it is a bit pokey compared to modern films, but the editing doesn't drag and there aren't many films in history with better shot composition.
They’re the #1 best rankings company.
I totally agree with you, but there are people who refuse to see it that way. If there was an ice cream cart at the bottom of the Grand Canyon selling a scoop of ice cream for $10, some people would be outraged. Never mind that it's a remote location, it's very difficult to supply ice cream there, it's incredibly convenient to be able to buy ice cream there, etc.

For Blockbuster selling snacks, no one is under any pressure to buy snacks there. If you're really pressed for time or don't want to drive to another store for snacks, then maybe the ludicrously high price is worth it. If it's not worth it to you at that moment, then don't buy there.

It's only bad if there's a monopoly or some other form of coercion involved, which is clearly not the case for Blockbuster selling snacks. And yet, to some people, it proves that Blockbuster is the devil...
Wrong all over.

Check the other comments, they are def not the same.

The condescending and cynical tone also destroys any inquisitiveness. "Lay" people can absolutely tell the difference.
First, why assume "subpar education"? One of the corollaries from my uncle's hypothesis is that there really isn't any secret held by some elite, nor there are special resources to be distributed to students during class. Simply put, the more a group is segmented, the more the class will be appropriate to them as a whole. If anything, you are increasing "utilization" of resources.

Second, there can be individual mobility. A poor performing student with otherwise potential to improve might receive help to overcome whatever is bringing them down, and get them to thrive again. Even in that case, it would help them to be in a smaller class, as it's much easier to identify who among the low performers who want to be helped, and those lost causes who are a drag for everyone else.

> Assuming you are seeing in network providers, which for a top tier platinum PPO should be almost all doctors, and a BCBS plan would be nationwide, then your premiums would be say $500 per month for a family of four, and out of pocket max will be $5k per year at most.

You're wrong. I'm not speculating here, I'm talking about the real numbers.

My monthly premiums for a Platinum PPO plan through my employer (in Silicon Valley) is slightly over $2K/month (for a family of 3). Same plan at my previous employer, same price (a bit cheaper but that's because it goes up every year). This is also very similar to what an ACA plan would cost. Your guess of $500/mo is way off.

So out of pocket is ~$25K on premiums alone (pre-tax though).

> Why would it cost more than the “so called max out of pocket”?

You can easily go above what the insurance company calls "max out of pocket". Again, I'm not speculating here but telling real experiences.

That's because if you get a bill for, say, $10K, the insurance company can decide they will only pay $8K so you're stuck with $2K. But not all of that $2K is counted against the out-of-pocket max. The insurance company will say only some smaller amount, say $500, will count as credit towards the out of pocket. So I get to write a check for $2K but in the eyes of the insurance company I've only paid $500 this year. Repeat a handful of times and I can easily go over the so-called max out of pocket in real money.

CSIS does foreign work. They are responsible for anything related to national security. Internal and external.

From Wiki:

“There is no restriction in the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act on where CSIS may collect "security intelligence" or information relating to threats to the security of Canada.[31] The agency may collect information on threats to Canada or Canadians from anywhere in the world. While CSIS is often viewed as a defensive security intelligence agency, it is not a strictly domestic agency. CSIS officers work partly domestically and often internationally in their efforts to monitor and counter threats to Canadian security”
Case in point: OJ Simpson. It’s widely believed he did murder his wife, but the recent death of Rodney King and the whole glove affair in court allowed him to be found “not guilty”.
The size difference between our galaxy and our planet is ~14 orders of magnitude. For a planet to have the same dimensions as in the picture, it must be proportionally closer. That means if these galaxies from the image are 1e10..1e11 light years away (whether you guess to ignore the expansion or not), a planet must be 1e-3..1e-4 light years away, which barely covers the distance to Pluto.

Of course the above doesn’t account for lensing and who knows what else, but you get the idea. (If my math is correct)
iirc, that's not quite right. All dietary B12 originates in/on plant sources, you just have to avoid processing that removes it, and include plant sources with good sources. If you try and eat vegan from a typical north american grocery store though, you may have trouble and need to supplement it. On the other hand, selections are pretty good these days, and if you incorporate some nori or legume sprouts (from memory) you'll be fine.
It doesn't take any weight of responsibility from women. She can't afford to assume anything differently just because the guy says he's on the pill.

Guys get to worry even less than they do now, and then they'll think they don't need a condom because they're on the pill.

That's not a healthy dynamic for a sexual revolution.
