This is good advice if you plan to replace your phone on a regular basis. Else, buy a case. It's way too easy to shatter the screen and dent the outside. Yes, they are beautiful but once you dent them or crack the screen they look like crap. If you are lucky to keep on being able to use it without having to spend a bunch of money on repairs.

This was not considered to restrict aerial bombardment as early as the first world war, drawing on precedent based on naval bombardments which could target undefended facilities provided they were of a milirary nature.

Article 2
of the Hague Convention No. IX of 1907 on naval bombardments in
time of war allowed naval forces to fire on certain objects even when
the locality concerned was not defended.

[snip]

Generally speaking, it was possible to
observe a steady shift, for bombardment to be permissible under inter-
national law, from the requirement that a locality be defended to that
of the presence of a military objective. 5 By the time the First World
War ended, therefore, the law of air warfare had virtually lost its sole
codified basis: the prohibition on dropping explosives from aircraft had
become invalid and Article 25's field of application had turned out to
be extremely narrow. It had been replaced by the very imprecise prin-
ciple of the "military objective"

If you continue reading that document it becomes clear there were multiple attempts the codify the rules (eg the Washington Conference talks, the Hague Commission of Jurists) none of which were ratified.

However, the 1922/23 "Hague Rules of Air Warfare" (which were not ratified) are notable in that the discard the idea that defense makes any difference and switched entirely to the military objectives view, with carve-outs to try to protect civilians and monuments.

Why "unexplainable" and not "thus far unexplained"?
What are we supposed to glean from this as energy laymen? How do you provide data in a way that provides real meaning? All this data but no real insight.
> You do understand the logical error you just made, right?

> No. Help me out.

> You said "There does not appear to be a single non-ultra-biased source reporting this story. Which means, as far as we know, it could be entirely nonsense."

> Which means that since there are no sources you like, you choose to disbelieve it entirely.

You seem to know what sources I "like" (you have no idea at all), and that therefore I think they "must" be lying and I think it "never" happened, and I "choose to disbelieve it entirely" (you have no idea if I disbelieve it, and in fact I never said any such thing) -- you really like ad hominem, don't you? It's like your M.O. You've now hit me with like five ad hominem attacks. It's not a good look.

This isn't an opinion: there are literally no non-biased sources. This is a simple declaration of fact. By biased I don't mean conservative or even politically motivated. I mean a source with a high incentive to simply lie if necessary in order to promote their claim: that is, a legal team and their PR firm.

At present all we have is a claim made by a legal team and a single article which largely copied the legal team's claim verbatim. We have no independent verification of the story, no opportunity to hear the CPS's side of the story, no analysis or fact-checking, and in fact we don't even know if the case even has enough validity to avoid getting thrown out. All we have is a filing and a PR posting.

Claims require evidence before we get out the pitchforks, and extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

So to the logic error. I point out that the media has not covered the story (one opportunity for evidence). Your response is: "Shall I compile a list of stories that major media outlets have buried?", as if this excuses the need for evidence. Even if this were true, it's not relevant: the lack of independent media coverage, for whatever reason, is a primary reason we have no evidence for the claim. You can't excuse a lack of evidence by spinning conspiracy stories for why the evidence is missing

GCN put out a couple videos on the subject of erectile dysfunction, and according to them the research suggesting a link between the two is fairly rubbish [1]. In fact, the prevalence of erectile dysfunction and other men’s health issues is much lower than in the general population for the same age group. Reason being that erectile dysfunction is more commonly associated with heart disease, and cycling helps to reduce the risk of heart disease.

It’s just one study. And GCN is not the best source for science news, and is certainly going to be biased in favor of cycling. But I think at the very least the risk of erectile dysfunction from cycling is vastly overstated in general.

> Zoning is a tool that municipalities have at their disposal, but local government officials represent the people in their jurisdictions, often property owners--who pay significant taxes--so chances are they won't vote against their own interests.

One possible solution is for states to limit the zoning authority of high-demand municipalities that fail to produce housing. This is basically the idea of RHNA[1, 2] in California, although the process didn't have much teeth until recently.

This is an event called "fewest moves solving" [0]

Given 1 hour and the scramble, work out the fewest sequence of moves to solve. Competitors are allowed to use up to 3 cubes, pen, paper, stickers etc to come up with their solution.

It's an underappreciated event in my opinion, but 1 hour is also a long amount of time, which also scales time to practice.

Yes, landlords don't provide value. Rents capture most increases in wages while giving nothing of actual value back to the community. There was even a board member of a real estate investment firm discussing that it's a great time to press rents because they're at 97% capacity and people have nowhere else to go. That's disgusting behavior and not beneficial, it actively harms people.

Yes, in the July, 1945 issue of "The Atlantic", the editor prefixes "As We May Think" with this:

As Director of the Office of Scientific Research and Development, Dr. Vannevar Bush has coordinated the activities of some six thousand leading American scientists in the application of science to warfare. In this significant article he holds up an incentive for scientists when the fighting has ceased. He urges that men of science should then turn to the massive task of making more accessible our bewildering store of knowledge. For years inventions have extended man's physical powers rather than the powers of his mind. Trip hammers that multiply the fists, microscopes that sharpen the eye, and engines of destruction and detection are new results, but not the end results, of modern science. Now, says Dr. Bush, instruments are at hand which, if properly developed, will give man access to and command over the inherited knowledge of the ages. The perfection of these pacific instruments should be the first objective of our scientists as they emerge from their war work. Like Emerson's famous address of 1837 on "The American Scholar," this paper by Dr. Bush calls for a new relationship between thinking man and the sum of our knowledge. — THE EDITOR

Apple well knows that the primary market for their devices is bling, not functionality, but of course admitting that would be counterproductive to their marketing strategy.

Its no different than BMW touting how their cars are the ultimate driving machines, with all the tech inside, when in reality, BMW well knows that people buy their cars mostly for the badge.

I may be seeing this thorough a “sensitive” lens, but the language on the website feels like it’s bashing Project Gutenberg in order to show SE’s strengths.

> Ebook projects like Project Gutenberg transcribe ebooks and make them available for the widest number of reading devices. Standard Ebooks takes ebooks from sources like Project Gutenberg, formats and typesets them using a carefully designed and professional-grade style manual...

> Other free ebooks (which PG has already been highlighted as being in that category) don’t put much effort into professional-quality typography

It can be a very difficult task to compare without criticism. It’s clear that SE does put care and attention in to all the things mentioned with the goal of creating an excellent edition, I just think that PG has well-earned the respect they have for doing what they do well: getting so many books in to so many hands. As highlighted in the page and in your comments here: PG and SE fill different needs so there is room for both to stand tall.
One of the text forms is totally stack based while the second is quite lispy. And, according to the official grammar, you can mix the two forms willy-nilly — aside from the function header which needs to be in the lisp form IIRC.
The main thing is that it's never valuable to exactly replicate a study, from a commercial, career or publication perspective. Other studies may 'incidentally' cover the same ground, but then there are any number of variables which can explain why "this seemed to be different, but".

That being said, numerous papers have been published undermining the 'amyloid beta as primary disease driver' theory already. Or at least, finding no statistical correlation between AB and neuron death or that sort of thing. The most valid hypothesis that I've seen is that AB is just a supporting element for another amyloid, tau, which does correlate with toxicity.

Current Japan regime isn't anti-nuclear but they are the regime that encouraged nuclear plants. Now nuclear is unpopular for obvious reason so the regime is struggling about future energy plan. Thanks (/s) to putin, nuclear is now re-evaluating. I feel Germans are more anti-nuclear.

Why Japan encourages hydrogen is not very related to nuclear (except that the gov want to feed jobs to heavy industry companies that worked on nuclear), but related to lack of every local materials/fuels. I think hydrogen research should be encouraged, but Toyota should release more PHEV/BEVs early.
I was looking at the source code linked from dashboard, and surprised a bit that it's a gist, rather than a repository. Is it just to facilitate discussions on the code? Otherwise it feels a bit ad hoc that way, wouldn't consider a gist with this many files more ergonomic compared to a repository.

I work with POS hardware at my job. The “custom firmware” is likely just some settings, screens for the POS to display (so they’re McD branded instead of the POS maker), and some per payment-processor configuration so the terminals are using the expected encryption (differs per processor and customer).

Even if it was real firmware (I doubt it), it’s likely the firmware for the POS device interface. I don’t believe that firmware has any control over the actual payment processing bits of hardware, just the software intermediary.

Since that intermediary only has access to EMV tags (which anyone in the payment path has) there is no point. The secret encryption stuff that secures passwords is not controlled from any layer an attacker could touch, outside of documented configuration parameters.

I have issues with this video, not because of the idea of including inspection time - I think it should be included - but because if you have a fixed 15s window to look at something there is not necessarily any reason to rush to be faster than that. So the current WRs have inspection times that aren’t being raced.

What the video is doing is equivalent to going back to prior Olympic events and then including the time taken by participants to walk out to the starting positions and get into the starting position if appropriate. Then reordering the participants based on those new times. Similar for the other records, like typing I’m sure retiming including setup and sitting down time would impact positions as well.

So I do agree with the basic idea that the prep time here should be included, but I don’t think you can ever reorder existing record holders - they would have to remain in a second category, which is also interesting in its own right as a measurement of pure mechanics.

this must be why i see crazy shoves with seemingly turd hands on pokerstars but bad beats on there is roughly 4~5x greater than other places due to sheer volume of players.

I don't know I never bothered learning all these things because it felt like it was taking the fun out of it so I mostly just play on feelings/intuition.

After I stopped reading theories and books I started to improve massively although I never play on Pokerstars anymore.
A great read, thank you.
I sometimes stack retroactively. I work on something experimental, then realize it'll be easier to review if I break it down.

This often means first a code cleanup that doesn't change any functionality yet, but makes the later changes simpler - eg; removing dead code, removing unnecessary abstractions/interfaces/layers, upgrading external packages.

Sometimes I recognize this early, and will specifically make a branch for this. If there's changes from the review I'll rebase my next branch(es) on top.

Often I don't see this will be needed until later (or rather: I'm focused on the change itself and not the PR experience) and so I'll interactive rebase to put all the refactor commits first, and make a PR for those.

Both cases mean I already have a branch built off an unmerged PR. Sometimes even before the PR is published, actually. I don't see any particular problem with this. My development style and speed is independent of the speed PRs get merged; the ability to rebase makes this a total non-issue.
> Only dimension where cycling feels way more intense than walking and running are on the hill climbs

And even hill climbs can be made relatively easy with the right gear ratio. My endurance bike has a 33T chain ring in the front, and a 36T gear in the back - so less than one to one ratio. I can get over just about any climb in my area without much exertion. It’s definitely slow going, though!
I agree with all your points except:

> QM strongly suggests that it isn't

an argument over which is certainly out of scope here (however it did answer my question); and

> The Big Bang is not a single point. It's a spacelike line

which I think is wrong for the standard cosmology. See Davis & Lineweaver 2004 <https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2004PASA...21...97D/abstra...> notably fig. 1 and the expalanatory text scattered within.

Why would (cosmological) t=0 be a line rather than a point, a 3-volume, or some even weirder non-Lorentzian structure? I can't think of why it would be a line other than (reaching here) nonvanishing vorticity (in either the sense of the Raychaudhuri equation or because of ~axisymmetry with spin), and those aren't features of the standard cosmology.

Obviously I've seen Penrose diagrams with the BB drawn out to look like a horizontal line, but have never taken that to be anything other than for legibility or print-reproducibility reasons, similar to the dimensional reduction of the diagram itself. I would be grateful for a reference with explanatory text if you think this is wrong.

Absent published authority, I think you could also take this up with Pössel (Max-Planck-Inst. Astro. Haus der Astronomie) who by sheer coincidence ran a related twitter thread <https://twitter.com/mpoessel/status/1551119783315251200> in which he writes (among other things): " ... 23/ ... Let's forget about the hot Big Bang phase, pretend that 24/ all the galaxies taking part in cosmic expansion are point particles corresponding to galaxies we see in the observable universe today were at one and the same location. 25/". @johncarlosbaez has been all over that thread on Twitter too, and would probably engage with your it's-not-a-point-it's-a-line point. I am pretty certain that Pössel means we ignore the "hot Big Bang phase" to mean not just the first few minutes (up to the synthesis of helium) (which is a fairly common time frame for "hot Big Bang") but up to early structure formation, and that he'd clarify if asked.

I agree that in the standard cosmology there are an infinite number of causally disconnected points one "instant" after the Big Bang, but don't see how that can't follow from the standard BB singularity.

Of course a BC universe is not standard cosmology, so alternative final shapes don't raise my eyebrows at all, unless you wish to argue that in General Relativity, no BC universe can even in principle have a point wherein all other points are in its past light cone.

All that said, I'm not sure why you're objecting to slicing as having a dependency on choice of coordinates. I did write that \Sigma is not physical. I will now write that it is very convenient to calculate in some set of coordinates, and that it is possible not to fall into holes (pardon the pun) while doing so.

Finally, I'd like to turn on its head your second sentence. Relativity allows some physical distributions of stress-energy to pick out a meaningful set of coordinates. (as has been known in cosmology for many years. cf. <https://arxiv.org/abs/1211.6338> §2 notably p 4)

Obama would have appointed Sunstein no matter what book he wrote, because he was one of UChicago's superstar professors (and was at the same time being aggressively courted by schools around the country; he ended up, of course, at Harvard). His appointment was notable not so much for "nudges" as for the fact that Sunstein was probably one of the most conservative appointments Obama made.
