Yeah but banks and credit bureaus also know.
I go to one of my local indie book shops most weekends and always grab something. Sometimes it's one (sometime two) new releases, sometimes fiction but more often then not non-fiction. Most often it's two or three used paperbacks, fiction 99% of the time. And sometimes still, it's half a dozen oddities from the clearance rack which is where I tempt fate and grab stuff I otherwise would never have looked at twice.
I always read the last page of every book, something I've done since I was a kid. It's not terribly informative as to whether it will be good read or not.
I was asked what software I needed and dumped the output of /usr/bin when they pressed me for an exact list. It was bizarre
I am, for better or worse, a "heavy user" of the McDonald's app. And unfortunately, all this architecture somehow still misses so many usability issues. The most annoying one, is that the app always defaults to the closest location "as the bird flies." Despite the fact that I have "favorited" a different store, and also my last 5 or 10 orders were placed at this favorite store, the app ALWAYS defaults to the first store, which may be a tenth of a mile closer but has three additional traffic lights and twice the traffic.

The app is also wildly inaccurate with store open/close times (in both directions -- sometimes it tells you a 24-hour store is "currently closed"), and the in-store employees are often confused how to ring up or serve a mobile order.

But the deals are good. BOGO QPCheese just about every day.
There is no ather scalable way but practice what you’re lacking.

Acting classes, YouTube channel, public speaking clubs etc.

Just do it until you’re satisfied.

There is no other way. Everything else is just redundant words around this basic idea.
People aspire to different things.

It's difficult to explain if you've never really gotten seriously into chess, but the game is, by far, one of the most satisfying and rewarding activities in existence. You can put infinite mental energy into the game and continue to get ever more out of it. It is extremely addictive, especially once one reaches a certain level in the game. If I had the choice of retiring to a life endless beaches and scantily clad ladies delivering me all the drinks and pleasures of life one could imagine, or retiring to a [safe] ghetto full of nothing but old highly skilled chess players - I would pick #2 in a heart beat.

There are plenty of chess player anecdotes along the lines of Gata Kamsky. He became frustrated with his progress in chess at some point (as one of the best in the world, but not the best in the world) and just casually decided to become a lawyer. So he did that and breezed through law school and set himself to a traditional path of money and even power. But, as is always the end of these stories, the game called him back. Today he streams himself playing chess for hours a day (on Twitch) to an audience of tens and is clearly more content and satisfied than ever.

You can't prove the validity of the ratio test for all sequences of real numbers, because you can't talk about all sequences of real numbers. But you could at least prove the validity of the ratio test for any computably enumerable sequence of computable real numbers, or such things. You could carry out the full argument of the ratio test, except for the tiny part at the beginning where it says "Let us quantify over the set of all sequences of reals...".
Hard not to feel nostalgic, as most of us on this forum probably associate the 747 with international air travel.

However time marches on, and it’s also nice to notice how much nicer and quieter the 787 and A350 are, not to mention more efficient.
For late model vehicles, they're also being partially killed by the vehicles themselves being more reliable and with longer warranties.
I keep a running list of books I want to pick up next, split into types of books and a separate list of hardcovers.

This is a list I keep separate from any one store, and I reorder it until it settles into a pretty good order. I have been really disappointed by cart functionality and have even lost some items etc.

I do tend to order in batches but mostly because I wait for sales and they usually cover more than one book I want.

Slow shipping is OK with me.

Some of the smaller sellers are fun. I like that Wayne's Books throws in a cool little business card. I like that Brett at Pigames.net remasters vintage game books.
If I'm ordering something less than $25 from Amazon, I'll add a book from my to-read list to get free shipping. Usually these are fiction or cheap math/history/science books. For fiction, these are either books I've already read in digital form and want a physical copy of or new releases from authors I'm already familiar with.

Technical books tend to be more expensive, so I usually buy them singly and try to order direct if possible. If I'm doing research on a specific topic I might buy many, but I usually do one at a time. I've found that having too many books in my "to-read" stack gives me a kind of anxiety that stops me from making progress.
> "Does foreign investment ... make workers better off?" ... "Yes, vastly."

This argument didn't survive the 2010s, the elephant graph argument has since been thoroughly trashed as the rentier-class propaganda it always was.

China is not some meek recipient of Western wealth but instead a canny operator to the benefit of their upper classes and rulers, outsmarting the rest of the world for not the first time in human history. The West is the tail, not the dog here; foreign investment was there for the taking in a shortsighted race to the bottom.

So if I understand what you're saying correctly, you view talking about suicide as something that's going to potentially spread suicide/suicidal ideation and therefor if you're going to talk about it that's got to be balanced by a real need for that discussion?

One man IT department here: eh? While the 1st time set up was a bit silly, involving digging up a duns number and having our CTO call for some reason, after that it was pretty smooth sailing. SimpleMDM handles the device onboarding, assigning software licenses basically boils down to purchasing them in the Apple business portal and then handing them out through MDM.
Calling “0.999… = 1” very unintuitive is a very strange thing to say, because that makes perfect sense to most children. I’d like to see a result that truly is unintuitive, like what we get with the axiom of choice.

> To me karaoke is just signing to music, which is exactly what this is. I found it very strange that they avoided that word.

Apple's footnote disclaimer says "does not fully remove vocals" and "kara" means "empty/void" so it kind of makes sense to avoid using such an absolute term to describe something that isn't.
It's still a life goal of mine to ride on a 747.

Former Mac admin here. I never locked Gatekeeper down that strict, but I did enforce the setting where if you just double clicked some nonsense, it would it let you open it. You had to right click and then open from the context menu and blow through the warning.
Ultimately I depended on our endpoint protection software and Jamf inventory to keep things clean. Jamf I could setup to alert me on known malware/bad shit, or in this case, specific versions of apps so I knew who I needed to reach out to, and then endpoint protection for everything else. Good enough for our HIPAA auditors.
That's not accurate, so many designs of cars are hard to see the side profile of even with lights. Even if it were, it's not bourne out in studies of paint colour and crash risk. Grey/silver represents an increased crash risk, especially at night.

Something I think hinders visibility is also that cars are often amongst dozens of other lights, especially at intersections where it matters most.
Just to preface this with: I don't try to convince you of anything, nor anyone else.

But there is a side of this conversation that I almost never see discussed:

What I want to add to this conversation is the following: it is a privilege (in the true sense that only a small group can afford to do this) for you to be able to decide not to have children and keep your conform. And this priviledge relies or borrows on the other people deciding to have children.

Because if nobody will have children then your retirement will be meaningless in the future. Nothing to invest in, no economical growth, no food, no products, no services.

Who will take care of you in the hospital when you will be old? As example? Who will pay for those (younger than you) doctors education?

Some parents, right?

So what you are exercising is a priviledge => available to a small group of people because the others are supporting the costs.

hot take: If the society will ever want to make this fair it should put higher taxes on people without children. As they need to spend money to buy good sleep and comfort in the future.

I even dare to say put a tax close to the estimated cost for having a children. Why? Just to make sure that the sleep is in the right balance when thinking about the future.

I repeat: this is not about the individual decision itself, everyone should do as they see it fit. But about the fact that we are part of a society and there are duties to that aswell.

I watched bits and pieces of this because my wife was into it, and it was absolutely infuriating. The catfisher went to increasingly ludicrous lengths to hide the sham, including getting their cousin to take a photo holding a piece of paper with their name or the current date or something like that. And the whole time, they KNEW they were in too deep but they couldn't help themselves. It wasn't a scam for money, it was just a multi-year cry for help.

I agree; ambiguous or poorly written questions are nothing new in high school academics. I suppose it's an interesting topic to argue over, but this question isn't anything special.
> There is so much corporate spyware out there that you never know if you can really trust your company or its employees not to snoop around your network. It's so easy to set up that it should be a no brainer even if you fully trust both your company and all its IT employees and their boss and boss' boss etc. And they don't even have to actively snoop now, just regular operating system auto discovery stuff that ends up in logs can be enough for 'later'.

True, the EDR product (one of the big names) has this feature where it explores the network environment around each laptop using nmap-style techniques.

This feature is also actively being used so I've decided to do the same at home, set my work computer on a locked down VLAN.

You're making a good argument against something no one has proposed.

The point of this effort is to be able to know the cost of something before you buy it.

That's it!

How this can "seem like another way to put blame on the patient" is pretty incomprehensible.

Caveat: I get that humans are a lot more complex than cars.

Medicine is one of the most well-documented, well-studied fields in human history. Every single thing a doctor does and charges for is stored and coded in an electronic system.

It blows my mind that my mechanic can give me an accurate estimate and they are legally bound to honor that estimate. However, my doctor can't even tell me how much my routine medications will cost.
Serious question though, is -- should I care?

I have trouble believing that VC money makes for a lot of stuff that helps the world. Not that it has to be pure charity or anything like that, but -- how worse off would be with only non-VC companies (e.g. capital raised by other methods, or just not at all?)

I have a flir as well and I've used it a lot while insulating my house, but the coolest thing I've done was find the exact location of a wasp nest between my walls and annihilating it by injecting a pesticide directly in the middle of the nest with a tiny drill hole. It seems gimmicky at first but it's been a real money-saver.

I don't blame the mayor too much, if someone high-profile is breaking a law, it makes sense to investigate, as otherwise it might inspire people to imitate. That said, I think it's ridiculous that a company office can't have beds. Lord knows silicon valley was founded on engineers sleeping under their desks (Amazon and Microsoft as well). THAT said, there is probably some reason that there are laws against in-office beds, and those reasons should be seriously taken into consideration.
My personal favorite is when they come around with their computer cart and have you sign on a 2x6 inch signature pad without showing you the documents. Growing up as the son of an attorney, I read documents before signing and get annoyed that this ever became the status quo.

It seems to be about 3 signatures. But if you don't insist they print the documents off and give you a copy, you could be signing away tons of rights you wish you had down the line.

Tangentially related to billing, the workflow to check in with one of my clinics requires me to give them permission for more aggressive collection practices than are legally required. I can revoke that permission anytime, but there's no option to turn it down while checking in. So every time I check the box, then immediately talk with the receptionist to add a flag on my account. She takes a screenshot and prints it off for me. From doing that interaction a couple times, I think I'm one of very few people who do it.
> Is the environmental impact actually significant enough to warrant consideration in this circumstance?

Abso-fucking-lutely! *Smack* The answer to that question is always a resounding yes when we're talking about massive industrial processes. The qualification "as long as a town isn't poisoned" is fantasy at these scales. Most mining facilities require tons of water so they're built near waterways and those are almost always populated downstream.

The tailing ponds contain very toxic waste that, if breached, will basically salt the earth around them and anything downstream. The tailings from a much less toxic processes like iron mining, for example, caused a massive ecological disaster in Brazil when the Mariana dam holding back millions of tons of mining waste broke [1]. It followed the Rio Doce to the Atlantic polluting over 600 kilometers of waterways along the way, affecting over a million people. Five years later people are still getting sick, fish stocks are way down, and farming along the river is crippled [2].

A few years later another dam in Brazil broke, once again contaminating hundreds of kilometers of waterways [3]. The Ok Tedi disaster in Papau New Guniea [4]. The Marcopper disaster in the Phillipines that still hasn't really been cleaned up decades later [5]. Aberfan in the UK [6]. History is full of these kinds of tailing disasters effecting millions of people, often the poorest with the least recourse.

Edit, forgot to add final point: Those Ganzhou tailing ponds are much more toxic than those above from lesser metals and coal. They're dangerous to approach without full PPE and much of the surrounding area has been polluted to the point where nothing will grow without remediation. Even assuming there's no accident, the environmental damage is already significant enough to cause political pressure in an authoritarian regime.

You really need to learn more about the world so you don't say such clueless things in public.

This is honest advice.
Are you sure we are getting contacted by the same recruiters? I'm pretty sure most recruiters are not like that; and we would be better without them. Recruiters exists because companies wants to save on $$ (it would make more sense to let developers do the recruiting, and not someone with no technical knowledge). Of course, this has the opposite result which is why the hiring market is such a sh*t-show.
Population demographics are one of the things archaeologists are most interested in. There's lots of independent methodologies that we've developed to tell us when people were present and in what numbers. Many don't even rely on finding artifacts. Things like genetic work directly tell us effective population sizes at various points in human history (low), charcoal analysis tells us how many fires were burning, hearth counts (indicated by rock or soil discoloration) tell us how many people were cooking, pollen analysis tells us what the plant landscape looked like in areas, etc. There's even an incredible technique based on eDNA analysis that can directly measure how many people were in the area when a soil sample was deposited by measuring the DNA from their shed cells. I've only seen that one used for results back to 30-40kya, but it's still pretty cool.

As you might have guessed from how I've written this, all these different lines of evidence consistently point to low population densities and overall populations, especially before the main human expansion out of Africa.

Advanced ice age societies aren't impossible, but there would need to be some pretty strong evidence and a good explanation to account for all the data we have against them.

This reads like run of the mill CCP propaganda. All the usual talking points are there - equating Chinese government with the Chinese people and implying that any criticism of the former is a criticism of the latter.

Quoting a survey from early 2020 is extremely disingenuous when trying to assess the people's satisfaction with the central government that has rapidly expanded their use of draconian authoritarian measures since the start of COVID pandemic.

The final clue lies in your suggestion that "the west is trying to crack 'unity' of the Chinese people" when the original comment is simply praising the Chinese people for their bravery as they try to get their freedoms back.
I agree that things don't move in one direction all the time. Iran, for instance has certainly de-liberalized (although they might be re-liberalizing, fingers crossed). The overall trend in the past couple centuries seems to be towards tolerance, though. As an example, in most countries at least a quarter of people think being gay is okay [1]. 100 years ago, where on Earth could you have gotten 25 out of a hundred people to say that being gay is okay? Perhaps in Berlin in the 1920s, but no where else as far as I know.

Yes and no.

When my wife had our first child, the hospital sent the placenta out for sampling without our permission. This "in network" hospital then billed us for an "out of network" expense on a decision they made without our consent. Same hospital also double charged us for anesthesia because they choose to have a CRNA and anesthesiologist in the room at the same time.

Thankfully, my wife works in healthcare so we called their BS. We suspect that this hospital is doing this to essentially birth.
1) WHAT IS THE DESIRED SAMPLE SIZE obviously it isn't 120, because only a moron desires a sample size of 120 and sends out 120 random spam requests

2) WHAT IS THE NECESSARY CONFIDENCE INTERVAL

4) WHAT IS THE POPULATION SIZE

But in general, a 75% response rate is likely fantastic, and should be sufficient if the original "120" sample size was rationally selected. So D strikes me as overwhelmingly the best answer.
My understanding is also that fabs can mostly re-use water. I don't know as much about AZ but in NV and CA most of the water is "wasted" on low-value agriculture and doesn't go to people.

Not being in the dataset maybe? There's many artists that hate that you can just write "in the style of" with their name.

So at least, if it does appear that it works with their name, they now either have been paid that amount, or they can sue for that amount of lost revenue. At least not everything would be lost.

I'm not a lawyer though, so really no idea whether this could even be possible as it's seems like currently it's fair use.

It's worth noting that while Houston does not have zoning in the strict sense (e.g. assigning land to be commercial only or single family home only), it does still have quite a few harmful restrictions on land use such as parking minimums and minimum lot sizes. These regulations enforce low-density construction and car-dependence, even in the absence of exclusive zoning.

As a result, while Houston has succeeded in keeping prices under control, it should be not looked at as an example of housing and land use perfection. It's also critically important to not look at Houston and get the impression that lax zoning creates suburban sprawl (something which California really doesn't need more of). Lax land-use regulation is, in fact, an excellent tool to decrease sprawl and increase density.
