> The 2FA nonsense does basically nothing in practice (vetting will not and should not magically go away), and only adds an undue burden on developers.

I don't understand this claim -- are you saying that 2FA adds no protection of value in the context of package maintainership, or that does nothing in general? I'd like to understand the reasoning behind either, whichever it is.

My 0.02c is that 2FA has empirically reduced the incidence of ATOs on major services, and eliminates entire systemic weaknesses in account systems (like ATO via password reset). It stands to reason (to me) that PyPI is a service like all others, and benefits similarly.
Hanford is a different situation from Fukushima in that the wastes have had a long time to decay at Hanford but Fukushima is still pretty fresh.

The trouble at Hanford was that the current methods for reprocessing produce a stream of fission product raffinates that they originally stored in liquid form in tanks. Later on the technology was developed to trap the fission products in glass which is not too hard to dispose of (and that decays mostly in 500 years) but the Hanford tanks had started to fail before then.

Future reprocessing plants will store liquid waste temporarily but like THORP in the UK and COGEMA in France they will plan on vitrification from day one.
I totally feel the amount of work comment, though I tried something totally different. I tried juicing - it was a ton of fun (I “cheated” by having more fruit juices than vegetables). I had more energy, thought clearly, slept better etc. Same with eating raw solid food (only fruits and veggies).

The thing that sucked, was the amount of work. Buying, cleaning, juicing, cleaning again… crap ton of work. Ah, it is also expensive.

If only fruits and veggies were as cheap as milk, eggs, chicken… life would be much better
Right, I might have been misconstruing the usage of the word. I’m just very sad of the quite common belief amongst neurotypical people that ADHD can be “cured” or treated with these “one simple trick” type of solutions.

Especially as the article in question only considers treatment of focus issues, when ADHD in actuality presents itself as a broad spectrum of difficulties that reach far deeper than simple focus issues in school.

What I meant by my reply is that PyPI is using "critical" as a label for packages that meet a specific criterion. I agree that "critical" as an English word can be rather vague, but it is not in this case.

PyPI's interest here is in the integrity of accounts that can publish PyPI's most widely downloaded packages. If you believe based on the chosen label that in the future, PyPI will come in and expand the criteria for criticality, then I guess that's possible? But it's not what's happening now.

The author of the article this thread is about is litterally pushing further down that particular slope:

> And if your package gets established and has people regularly using it, you have some responsibility not to mess with those users. If you want to make backwards-incompatible changes, for example, communicate them and bump the major version number. If you want to stop maintaining the package, post an announcement about it and be willing to hand over to someone else to continue work.
If they did, it would suddenly become that much more clear that the system is deeply antidemocratic, due to people not having any say in the institutions that govern them.

Who is flagging this extremely valid criticism of this photo release circus? I totally agree with this sentiment and it is something that science teams will have to reflect on for future communications. This was absolutely terrible.

interestica 5 minutes ago [flagged] [dead] | prev [–]

What a weirdly botched release. 90 min delay with nothing more than a title screen and a terrible repeating music track. (When it was at least an opportunity to display material related to the project for those stopping in due to media coverage). A labyrinth of a website with interlinking and crosslinking throughout. Web links that come up blank. And an unprepared accompanying statement for the image given off the cuff by the director. Weird press conference -- 'who is this for?'
All around, just strange and poorly executed from a communications/media standpoint. Completely inexcusable for an organization like this.
I wouldn't say you're wrong. It does look very similar to a Hubble deep field image because there isn't much of a difference visually between the different scales.
It's not arbitrarily because you've been told the criteria already. The problem you have is that you disagree with criteria which, well, not sure what to tell you except that there are no universal conditions everyone would agree to as clearly just demonstrated.

PyPI maintainers selected their own, as they have every right to and they are not obviously stupid as they seem to be a reasonably good proxy for which packages would afflict most developers.

Personally, as a developer who both publishes and uses packages from PyPI, I'd love to know who finds 2 minute 2FA set-up too burdensome (and if you save it in your password manager, that's all you'll every have to do) so I can avoid their packages. I have little faith in maintenance of packages for which a minimal one-time effort (per account, not even per package) is too big.
It's disappointing because community outreached/education is supposed to be a part of NASAs job. It was late, filled with cliches, bad image quality, and over far too quickly. A squandered opportunity to pay-off the excitement for this project to communicate why it's interesting and build excitement for what's still to come.

I guess we'll have to stick to Youtube channels with proper production and presentation skills to do that...

Egg Consumption Increases Risk for Diabetes

I wonder the ROI behind this. I mean it's server maintenance cost VS PR image cost.

Ok, servers are expensive, but Ubisoft manage to recover after some reputation hits (and Blizzard distracting everyone being the main enemy in the public eye for a few months) and then, they do this.

>> Put another way, what’s the most powerful force on earth? In the 1800s, God.

I mean... that's not merely a statement unsupported by evidence, that's a statement that's demonstrably wrong. If I were to come up with a list of powerful forces in the Long 19th Century, "God" and "religion" wouldn't even come close to making it. It's a century that opens with the Enlightenment and reactions to it. The salient political features of the 19th century are the unhinging of the concept of divine right to rule, the social upheaval brought about by the Industrial Revolution, and the mighty juggernaut of nationalism that aroused passions and drove the world to several bloody conflicts, even in excess of the greatest and bloodiest wars of religion.

Patotoes have a very round nutrients profile and relatively high complete proteins. Not the worst pick.

But to eat 2500kcals of potatoes a day is so hard. No wonder they loose weight. That's so much potatoes!

With 70-80 kcals per 100 grams an adult would need between 3-4 kilos. Every day

That's a mountain of potatoes twice the size of your stomach.

Some bake it with fat or oils I've read which makes it somewhat more manageable volume wise.

Since I'm a complete noob at astronomy, I wanted to ask a couple of basic questions about the image:

1. What causes the bright flares/flashes around some bright starts/galaxies?

2. What are the elongated traces that look as if the telescope moved/rotated while capturing the image?

3. Why do some of the smaller flares seem to be doubled (e.g. 3 stars in the top-right corner of the image)?

Thanks in advance to anybody patient enough to explain.

Are you taking literally something that I wrote just for rhetorical effect?

Let me try in another way: I don't think that wading through tens of comments saying "I like/love/dislike Costco" or "I prefer Wegmans/Kirkland/whatever" is the type of thing that hits the mark for being a place that "gratifies one's intellectual curiosity".

This would be for boring conversation already if the topic at hand was a discussion about retail stores, but it's made even worse because the post itself has so many more interesting things to be talked about, that engaging in this type of shallow talk becomes a nuisance to the ones that actually made just a bit of effort to read the piece and are ready for a more interesting conversation.

Where in Canada? Almost everything on the nat gas grid has furnace heating. In the sticks you’ll have wood biomass, propane or kerosene heat.

Anyone using electric baseboards is getting highly subsidized electricity because any other energy source is cheaper.

Only place I saw baseboard heating was in school portables.
Not much. Most peers and hiring managers stopped paying attention to these ratings when they got into college, so the market's perception of your degree is some blended average of the programs' ratings over the past ~40 years. By the time rankings after you matriculated represent a meaningful portion of the average, your alma mater is no longer a particularly relevant part of your resume.

Youth and timing! I dropped out of college after my 3rd semester. I read widely and kept seeing W&P cited as the greatest piece of literature ever. I read it and liked it -- in two weeks, which was about 100 pages a day. I read it during breakfasts, dinners, coffee breaks and lunch at work, and then at bedtime until 2 in the morning. So, I was able to concentrate on it and enjoy it; being young, I could slough off the lack of sleep.

I read AK next and it was great. A customer at work saw me carrying AK and suggested I read BK, so I did. I too found BK to be my favorite of FD's novels. I also read most of his other novels, except I only got part-way through The Idiot. When I returned to school, I took a Russian Literature course, for which I reread W&P, AK, BK, and Crime and Punishment (instead of using the Cliff's Notes).

(My professor pointed out the humor at the end of AK, something I had failed to see in two readings: the narrator is talking to what's-his-name, who has a horrific toothache and therefore doesn't really care that the most beautiful woman in Russia ... oops, no spoiler here! It was kind of funny when he explained it and he was a zillion times more knowledgeable than me about FD and FD's writings.)

Again, I had youth on my side and, as you noted is important, I had the time to concentrate on the books. Decades later, a few years ago, I finally read The Idiot all the way through -- it was a long slog; it being a weird story anyway didn't help.

I wasn't aware I was making an argument. I asked a question (which was apparently loaded) and gave my thoughts. It's my experience that American society in general disrespects working class people - it's pretty clear from the stagnant wages and multi-generational political movement to suppress unions, so I understand why parents would not want their children to join that class.

Your making the argument that nuclear is not a heating option because gas is cheaper.

If we’re going for the cheapest option, then why not fuck the planet completely and all burn coal?
A good start. It's obvious, for example, that if you call 911 because someone's having a heart attack, that they should dispatch paramedics, not police officers. If you call to report a house fire, they should dispatch firefighters. The purpose of the police is to threaten violence and to exercise violence. For any emergency that violence isn't equipped to solve, dispatch a specialist.
>Rogozin is not making a nazi salute.

i think you're disingenuous here. You'd not make that salute in a public place, in a company meeting or, God forbid, in a synagogue because everybody knows that it is a nazi salute and anybody doing it would do it only as a nazi salute. There is no other meaning conveyed by that salute.

> If it’s a small group, I can actually learn everybody’s names, get to know them, personalize the material more and spend big chunks of the class just answering your questions and starting discussions based on them.

I went to a relatively small private engineering school. It made a world of difference in my education knowing the professors, and having them know me, especially given that with small classes the professors offered office hours where I could come and discuss the material that was covered during class, as well as problems I encountered on midterms.

I still remember nearly all of my professors, fondly, precisely because of the dynamic small class sizes allowed for.
Looking at the photo I don't think the AI is going to realize eating the piece it is about to pick up and it will choke. I would actually like to see more reinforcement learning agents like that, the action space on infant movement is quite small so it's even really about "action space discovery" to some point. Things it discovers are way more interesting, like if food were not on the floor/level and it has to stand to get it, it will eventually get there after N attempts (over time), and then if you introduce another agent if learning to block the other agent will award more food, etc, then it discovers 50/50 and equilibriums (better to eat now than wait). PLATO seems like a step in that direction.

Right. "You have to tell yourself stories", as the late Prof. Patrick Winston said (you are intelligent because you can predict the unexperienced). Because you need concept development and critical thinking - an active process.
