>It doesn't offer price

Aren't all train tickets the same price in NYC? In Tokyo, there's a bunch of different train companies, and every fare is different depending on the company, where you're going, if you're doing a transfer, etc.

>or which train car to board for efficient transfers

Because it would be useless: in America, there's absolutely no concept of a train stopping at the same place in a station every time. There could be a half-train-length difference between where one train stops, and where the next train stops on the same tracks in the same station, because the operators are so sloppy. Here in Tokyo, they stop at the exact same place every time: there's automated doors on the platform that have to line up with the train doors in many stations, and specific places to stand marked on the platform with markings for which car number will be there.
In the first generation of our tests, we’ll be basing our reports on already published studies. For example, we look at spermidine (a polyamine), which is not available as a routine blood test and is a metabolite that could be acted upon. Epidemiological studies have shown that spermidine-rich diets are protective against cardiovascular disease and reduce the risk of cardiac death in humans. See references here:

- https://www.nature.com/articles/nm.4222, Figure 5

- https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3271/9/2/22/htm

- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8750749/

Even though these studies have looked into metabolites in relation to chronic conditions, in the first generation of our reports, we’ll not be providing individuals with any diagnostic information and our tests right now are only intended for wellness purposes.

Regarding diagnostic predictive markers, I want to reiterate that we are not a diagnostics company at this stage and to quote from our post, “as our [longitudinal] metabolomics database grows [we will] look for new signatures of age-related diseases at earlier and earlier stages. (Such analysis will only be done on de-identified data, only with consent, and only for our work towards extending healthspan.) “.

With that being said, there are other groups that have done a great job of validating metabolite biomarkers that do provide relatively new predictive insights into chronic disease prediction and risk. One example is this paper where they looked at type 2 diabetes risk in individuals with *normal fasting glucose*
(https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00125-018-4599-x):

Nineteen metabolites were selected repeatedly in the training dataset for type 2 diabetes incidence classification and were found to improve type 2 diabetes risk prediction beyond conventional type 2 diabetes risk factors (AUC was 0.81 for risk factors vs 0.90 for risk factors + metabolites, p = 1.1 × 10-4).

In adjusted Cox proportional hazard models, the type 2 diabetes risk per 1 SD increase in glycine, taurine and phenylalanine was 0.65 (95% CI 0.54, 0.78), 0.73 (95% CI 0.59, 0.9) and 1.35 (95% CI 1.11, 1.65), respectively. Mendelian randomisation demonstrated a similar relationship for type 2 diabetes risk per 1 SD genetically increased glycine (OR 0.89 [95% CI 0.8, 0.99]) and phenylalanine (OR 1.6 [95% CI 1.08, 2.4]).

The same group also published on this topic before: https://www.nature.com/articles/nm.2307

Although we already measure these metabolites and others in our current panel and we are able to calculate these score, we will not be providing these score since we’re not a diagnostics company at our current stage.
Reading this caused the following factoid bubbled up in my mind: the leading cause of death for firefighters is now heart disease. The 98% of their time that’s not responding to calls is evidently spent napping and eating lasagna. I’m not naysaying this arrangement, it’s how it has to be. I don’t see why it should be too different at Google, for some employees anyways.
Exactly, the subsidy is meant as a "no household left behind" type program, so awarded companies need to prove they can cope with the best case scenario of 100% adoption, and StarLink probably wouldn't be able to cope with that many terminals in close proximity (typical rural community is sparsely populated, but not that sparsely).

I would imagine in the future they could narrow the scope of their bid just to really really really remote and unpopulated rural regions, where even a 100% adoption would fit comfortably in a satellite bandwidth, but then I don't know if such a smaller bid would be worth the hassle for them.

I've been cycling for 50 years. When I got a job where I could start riding to work, I carried an inordinate amount of stuff, including full rain gear, all the time. Gradually, I started leaving most of it behind. The reason was that I developed a better sense of the actual risks of breakdown, and the resources at my disposal should something happen, based strictly on my own circumstances. This is also kind of how I live my life.

The people I know who've had breakdowns tend to be physically a lot stronger than me, and more "adventuresome" in their choice of riding conditions. For instance I expect my mountain biking friend to have a new story of destruction every few weeks. In some cases, I suspect that neglect or lack of maintenance skills played a role.

I bring more spares and stuff when I go on really long rides, or if my family travels to some remote place with the bikes.
I like this stringbike, if I needed a bike currently I would consider it. However, the durability while minor is an issue. I have never had a chain-link snap. I have frequently had chains derail. So the metric in my mind is, how frequently does this method need maintenance, replacement or derailment.
I dunno, have you seen some of the other replies here? =)

Seems like lots of ppl still can’t fathom something better than an interesting, high paying, but still fulltime job as their “ideal”, or don’t have any passions they’d rather spend their time on.

IMO one reason why so many haven’t found any passions is precisely cause all their time has been spent working, which is sad, honestly.
I don't understand your point. You could say that about pretty much anything.

As you put the word Reasoning in quotation marks, I might misunderstand your bottom line here (I am Autistic, so please do not get quirky on natural language semantics), but the bare statement: "Reasoning can be added to any conventional database" is just not right. Reasoning is a well-defined notion from logic, that is based on formal languages, semantics and a relation called entailment (inference in proof theory) respectively. None of that does natively exist in a database. In the literature, there are two well-known ways for integrating a notion of reasoning into a database. Firstly, Datalogic was invented to create recursive queries. Datalogic's relation to reasoning was a side-effect, and it only covers a fragment based on horn clauses. On the other hand there's OWL-DL a (limited) fragment of OWL, that encodes some kind of reasoning via query expansion on vanilla SQL-Queries. So maybe you can elaborate on the notion of "using views, and sometimes custom indices to add reasoning to a conventional database".
Many politicians in Europe also take that position—legalized abortion is a delicate compromise in most EU countries. Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, who briefly succeeded Merkel as leader of the CDU, also staunchly opposed abortion, as did many in her party. In fact, in Germany’s high court has recognized a right to life under the Basic Law that begins at conception. Abortion is legalized in the country under the theory that the constitutional violation doesn’t necessarily need to be punished.

A national abortion ban can’t get 60 votes in the Senate. We’ll end up with a mix of laws at the state level, just like the EU. Public polling shows that Americans favor similar laws to Europe—abortions being illegal after the first trimester except under various exceptions. https://www.vox.com/2022/7/13/23204957/roe-wade-abortion-dob... (“At least three national surveys have shown majorities of Americans favor banning abortion after 15 weeks, even as those same respondents said they wanted to see Roe upheld.”).

This Pavel Kroupa guy is popping up a lot across the futurist and credulous science fandom forums. To cut to the chase, his theory only applies to galactic dynamics and it doesn't even do a very good job at it. There are many other aspects that MOND doesn't address. Kroupa doesn't even bring interesting critiques of DM to the table, just claims about his theories and then concluding DM doesn't exist.

I’d avoid using the gray zone as a source they are effectively just used to relabel RT and other Russian propaganda.

And unless you seriously believe that Ukraine has genetically engineered super soldiers and black magic battalions you’d be a bit of a fool to believe what RT says.

But if your fine to use the gray zone I’ll be happy to use RFERL and they are reporting that hundreds of people are being recruited from Russian prisons[0].

Vice is also reporting that Russian conscripts are being forced into contract soldiers because you cannot send conscripts to Ukraine[1].

Doesn’t sound like a couple isolated cases to me, sounds like a country in a meat grinder that’s desperate for soldiers.

Currently a manager, you wrote exactly what I would say, only in a much more robust manner. "Meeting standards" should not be cause for alarm. If it is, there are many things wrong with the company.
As a general principle it's fine. The issue is a combination of:

* Providing infrastructure and services for rural areas like this is inherently monumentally expensive.

* For most people, rural living is some kind of choice: most could likely move to a cheap suburb that could be served much more easily, but don't want to.

* Far from having more money to fund things like this, rural areas are actually much less economically productive per person, on average. Of course you need some people to farm, but in practice you have many more people than that.

Essentially, society is providing a heavy subsidy for a lifestyle choice for most people, with no compelling government interest there.

While I do think we should make a goal of hooking everyone up to decent internet, any sensible plan has to look at how we can do this efficiently. Absolutely bare minimum, we should be superceding local zoning laws and similar that often make it illegal for people to build more densely in these areas (small town city centers), such that people can individually choose to live in a more efficient way in the same general area if they want. Not talking about skyscrapers obviously, but traditional, walkable downtowns with townhomes or duplexes would be a great thing.

Some Americans may scoff at this, but you don't need large numbers of people to get walkable neighborhoods. I've been through Bavarian villages of a few hundred people that were more walkable than US cities 100x their size.

It's especially nonsensical that we'd heavily subsidize super low density living when that's basically always gonna be worse for the environment. It means you need much more land per person, obviously, so you gotta cut into nature more, plus higher energy requirements.
That is an epic pun.
On the other hand, my experience is that the smartest people I know are very effective at simplifying / formalizing poorly defined problems and then solving the resultant well-defined problems.
There's no such thing as bad publishing. If people don't like or want it, they won't consume it. Let people make their own choices about what to read or watch.

If ISIS propaganda can be decentralized and widely available, that means western propaganda (as well as western hard facts and reporting) are decentralized and widely available as well.

Unless you think that all ideologies are equally desirable to end users, this results in a net win for "your side".

> ...could yield more vibrant computer displays, TVs, printed materials, textiles and more

I'm sorry, how exactly? From the paper's abstract:

> Consequences of this apply to color metrics that are currently used in image and video processing, color mapping, and the paint and textile industries.

At best, I could imagine how computer-selected colors might be chosen differently, i.e. adding to the many ways in which gradients between two colors are computed.

But I can't for the life of me imagine how computer displays might become more vibrant -- this isn't going to affect the spectrum of backlights or LCD color filters or OLED phosphors or anything as far as I can tell? E.g. in the way that Macs shifted from sRGB screens to P3 screens for their color gamuts?

Similarly with paints and textiles -- this isn't going to lead to new paints or dyes.

At the end of the day, colors -- whether in a movie scene or a paint chip -- are ultimately chosen by eye, not by math. So seems like the headline is making claims that can't be substantiated?

Would love to know if I'm missing something here.
But the small states are the ones who voted for Trump's populist revolution and who keep talking up secession because they believe it's impossible for their culture to coexist with that of "city-dwellers" and progressives (in other words, the culture of most of the country by actual population.)

American culture is only homogeneous in their terms because they reject every American cultural framework but their own as illegitimate, a cancer to be burned out, a corruption of the true ideals which they believe they alone uphold. Talk to me about cultural unity when they stop talking about killing liberals for sport or calling LGBT people "groomers" or passing laws forcing women to flee from their states for fear of their own safety.

I don't want to fulminate - I'm getting angry just thinking about this - but if there's been a running theme in American politics in the last decade, it's been the destruction of the facade of cultural homogeneity by right-wing rural culture, and that's with a system designed to pander to them as much as possible, because apparently 245 years of shared history and heritage and citizenship in the world's last superpower isn't incentive enough to keep them in the union. At this point I almost welcome civil war just so we can just get it over with already.

Pieter Wuille pointed out to me that you can:

def coeffs_from_roots(roots):
coefs=[1]
for r in roots:
coefs=[-r*coefs[0]] + [coefs[i]-r*coefs[i+1] for i in range(len(coefs)-1)] + [1]
coefs.reverse()
return coefs

That's merely quadratic, rather than taking exponentially many multiplications.

I like the question 'Does "cause" exist?' because it exposes the fact that basic terms haven't been defined and axioms haven't been made clear.

This kind of discussion can (and definitely has, in my opinion) devolved into meaningless rambling as a result of vague or missing definitions. I didn't read the whole article either, obviously (way too long), so I may have missed the author defining things.

Even the question "Why does anything exist?" is never really broken down and defined. What kind of answers are we looking for?

When dealing with philosophical stuff it's crucial to define terms very carefully. If you can't make clear definitions, you're in the realm of nonsense.
I think it's a great quote in context.
The spot size is proportional to the phased array antenna size, right? Could SpaceX just keep scaling up their phased array antennas on the satellites as Starship reduces launch cost?
Yeah, right. Though one consolation in my case (had it been necessary), single density 8" floppies only carried a tiny 128k despite their large size!

My-my how thing have changed, nowadays I can buy a micro-SDXC with 1TB storage and it's so small that if I drop it I'll likely lose it. The next generation micro-SDUC has a
whopping capacity limit of several orders of magnitude more -128TB. Sending all that down a 600-ohm copper line would be somewhat tedious methinks.

Ironic that Mandela was so loved because he chose not hit the Soviet-style button.

Unfortunately for South Africa, he (and every subsequent ANC leader) just coasted, and here we are.

I was so angry I nearly lost my composure with the lady on the phone who clearly wasn't responsible for such an asinine setup.
