I've always known protons to do things like no other particle.

I agree that H+ in solution is going to make temporary friends with whatever it finds in abundance until it comes in contact with something it can react less irreversibly with.

To build from fundamentals, what do we know?

Naked protons really are aggressive. Yikes. H+.

Water is just protonated OH-, it's neutral. pH 7 by definition.

The more the H+ outnumbers the OH-, the more aggressive the proton action.

If you water down HCl enough the solution strength will eventually fall into the narrow band known as "measurable pH", from pH 1 (quite acidic) to pH 7 (neutral).

pH numbers higher than 7 (all the way up to 14) are alkaline, not within reach for HCl in plain water.

It's good to have NIST-traceable pH measurements from precision electrochemical readings using pH-sensitive glass electrodes with temperature compensation. This is a type of glass that has a slight change in electrical properties according to the type and strength of ions it is exposed to, highly sensitive to aqueous H+ in particular. The range of readings is highly amplified by the instrument which is then calibrated logarithmically to the pH scale using known solutions. The known pH solutions correspond to the reference H+ concentrations according to the fundamental pH equations, without dependence on electrochemical measurement themselves.

Not quite so good using the proper pH-sensitive dyes which have been discovered useful or invented over the ages. These are strong enough pigments at visible wavelengths such that they can still be detected by eye (or spectrometer) at very low concentrations, while also possessing the property of noticeably changing color wavelength in response to degree of protonation of the dye molecules. These have been around since before electrochemistry.

In non-aqueous solutions, neither the electrodes nor the dyes behave exactly like they do with aqueous work, and I don't think the protons do either. The electrodes can be extremely useful non-aqueously, but it's not actually pH we're measuring any more. Plus different solvents are naturally going to have different water contents, sometimes whether intended or not.

And there are other things besides dyes which have visible indications of aggressiveness, like polyurethane and metals of many types. Some may take longer to notice than others, but eventually you conclude, yup, this stuff has been attacked by acid.

You will find the same number of molecules of HCl per liter of water will not be nearly as aggressive as the same number of molecules per liter in some non-aqueous solvents.

At other times it will be the water itself that is required for acid behavior to be fully as expected.

The best non-aqueous mixtures for any one purpose are probably not the ones commercially available. So you should be capable of coming up with your own.

Don't try this at home.
In Finland we have 220v outlets at every parking spot, since the batteries of ICEs just die during the -20C winter nights without being hooked up.

We all charge our EVs on those same outlets, and I never heard of anybody not having a full charge the next morning.

The main reason why we have so many EVs here -> they are more reliable in the cold. People stopped freezing to death in their Diesels that got stranded on the roadside.

I remember reading about this idea over a decade ago, and it comes to mind whenever I observe that I am becoming more like my father, despite living in a different country and culture, and less like other people who had an impact on me. The effects of education slowly give way to genetics in the absence of continued training.
Any US city. Waymo depends on GPS style maps not high resolution LiDAR maps, so they already have maps of every city on the planet. The software however isn’t setup for non US road signs and laws for every country on the planet.

PS: I am ignoring sanity checks that would need to be removed. They are setup to be geofenced so it’s going to reject any destination outside of those until someone updates a confit file. That’s just good engineering not some abstract limitation.
Do you know any games similar to “The game”?
I've been recently trying to find games to pass the time with colleagues similar to
"The game" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_(mind_game),
"Yellow car" http://www.yellowcargame.co.uk/pages/officialrules.htm
or "Mariah Carey challenge" https://www.unibetcommunity.com/forums/topic/20669-christmas-quotno-mariah-careyquot-challenge/

The main principle is that the game should be offline, is always on and you should need as little equipment as possible in order to play.

Does something comes to your mind?

Just a note for future visitors, this is actually very accessible now, the land owners have (in conjunction with the government) created a fenced off walkway the whole way down to the arch.

Another point is that SES has been available as granular data for a lot longer than micro data regarding what are probably (?) drivers of SES. (I once graduated on micro data.) You’d want micro data on health, education, social relations and jobs in order to bring understanding to a new level. Those as time series are only now beginning to take form.
Are Exxon, Mobil, and others responsible for my car’s emissions because they extracted and refined the fuel? Or perhaps it’s Honda because they built it?

If you don't want the power, or don't need the tool, fine. I get that.

But calling vi terrible, is like complaining that a sledgehammer is terrible, because you want to hang a picture, and that's all you have.

I'm not a mathematician, but what you're asking is a valid question in philosophy of mathematics. Generally, mathematical realism sees mathematical objects as existing independently of the human mind while anti-realist schools of thought don't.
My experience is that goods from before mass manufacturing are objectively higher-quality and more repairable. That's before cheap consumer goods of 1970, though.

There are at least two issues at play:

1) If I build something, I can do it again. I won't use ultra-thin metal which is likely to be damaged being welded, injection molding, or similar sorts of processes which require a factory.

2) I'll do a bit of overengineering. Modern consumer goods use the absolute minimum in materials possible. If you take things apart, it's pretty magical.

I'll also take care of it (and know how). If something costs me a week's salary, I'll buy fewer things, and I won't want them to break. If a gizmo costs a few minutes' salary, I'm better off replacing it. Maintenance is a nice hobby for some of us, but far from economically rational.
I dont have to speak to "imigrants who grew up in poor countries", we have enough simple people in rural areas who never developed any kind of critical thinking, still, they all went through the same school system. After all, we have mandatory schooling since roughly 150 years.

Cybersecurity Ecommerce website looking for Marketing Advise
I have the product and making it live next year to the general public. I want to create a digital marketing strategy to help me fight against giant competitors spending a fortune on Google Advertisements. Unfortunately, I have a very limited budget for most of my funding and bootstrap startup. Is there any good alternative for a cyber security startup that sells products online to market them without spending a fortune on Google Ads? I am looking for some really good suggestions as my budget is around $2000 per month.

Please help me with your ideas and thoughts about this.
I'm on my second year in a project where I'm nominally a "front-end developer", but actually doing all types of stuff.

I'm not really a wildcard person - my friend is and he arranged for me to take his place in this project.

Honestly I'm having fun. Front-end is generally low in the corporate hierarchy and it feels good not to be talked down by anyone for a change.

Certainly I do not doubt that they have recently started enjoying romantic comedies, human interest stories, sewing, cooking and not getting into arguments about racism, but I am skeptical that these are caused by externally-induced hormonal changes, rather than correlating as part of a broader set of intentional gender-transitional changes.
cfiresim basically confirms the 4% rule over 30 years. That said, if you mix in state benefits things are a lot more favorable for higher withdrawal rates.
I feel like it is the biggest drop. A young, productive population is one of a country’s biggest advantage. The US has natural resources, a relatively stable political system and high trust society (at least for day to day interactions), but the biggest weakness going forward is a smaller proportion of young workers.

Why would any country not want the fruits of 40+ years of labor from the examples of the people in the article?
You're comparing two situation with different wealth. In the first example, wealth used for schooling could have been better used. In the second example, wealth needs to be produced first.

IMO, being able to vote in the country you live and pay taxes in is basically a fundamental human right.

The idea that you should deprive immigrants who are living somewhere permanently of the right of self determination based on some sort of nationalistic idea of how countries should function just seems extremely misguided to me.

If you don't want to let them in that's one thing but once they're living there and paying taxes beyond maybe a few years they're entitled to vote.

I'd say kids are both malleable and at the same time grow to be incredibly resilient.

Realistically, when such systems roll out they happen to easily regulatable entites (shops) and not to private people. So every costco or bank would have a machine to track the bills by number and it would go from there. Not that I want this to happen, but it's perfectly imaginable.

Yeah, the floodgates of information into surveillance, they are just completely open and people are way past caring. It's just too much to understand. And like Snowden says, of all that "metadata", you don't need much of it to do the meaningful tracking you need.

> No, one is a form of natural experiment (changing the hormone profile of a single person who can compare the causal effects).

But this is subject to placebo effect, as the OP said, so you can't directly infer a casual influence on behaviour.

> The other is an assumption that someone's observed characteristics are caused by one particular hormone level, with no evidence to support that.

The OP did not say the lack of maternal instincts was caused by lower than normal testosterone, they simply noted that she had both characteristics.
When it was announced by apple they said the 30-pin connector has lasted a decade, and lightning was the connector for the next decade. That was September 2012.

The decade is up.

Personally I would be happy to keep lightning. It’s simple, it works. I have many lightning cables. If I see I lightning cable I know exactly what it’s for. With USB-C you can’t know the capability of the cable by looking at it.

But I suppose lightning has had it’s term in office and it’s time to move on.

> Children that told they are smart from tests tend to have higher confidence ... Confidence also has secondary effects in other aspects of life from dating

My experience, annecdata at best - kids who do good in tests have 0 confidence when it comes to dating. If there is a correlation there it is negative, at absolute best 0.
In any normal resistor, which is made from a conductive material, the resistance increases with the temperature, because the "friction" between the electricity carriers and the atomic lattice increases.

Only in resistors made of semiconductors, i.e. in NTC thermistors, the resistance decreases with the temperature.

The difference between a conductor and a semiconductor is that in the former the concentration of the carriers is constant, while in the latter the concentration of the carriers can be changed by various means, e.g. by temperature, by light, by impurities, by corpuscular radiation, by electrical fields, by contact with other materials, and by other means.

In most intrinsic semiconductors, the carrier concentration increases with the temperature, therefore the resistance decreases with the temperature.

This is a valid method to determine that a material is a semiconductor, even if false negatives are possible, when a material is a semiconductor though its resistance increases with the temperature.
Denmark by any chance?

When I lived there, I was amused how the Danish government was forced to provide free education and a $1,000 a month stipend to foreign EU university students, and then did such a bad job integrating them they all went home.

Doesn't sound so different.
>Norah Vincent wasn't transgender

That's what I said. "Women going incognito".

>Please back up your statements with evidence.

Spend a few days in online circles reading experiences of transmen, then do yourself another solid and spend another few days wading through online circles for men specifically. It's not too hard to see a few transitioners go "well X kinda sucked as a woman but Y definitely sucks now that I am a man".

>The fact that you liken HRT to "picking your poison" is ignorant and disingenuous

What's disingenuous is your extremely uncharitable interpretation, and I would urge you to take a step back and read with a little more favor towards the writer.

Think for a moment by bringing it back to its basis. As a woman with gender dysphoria, you have to pick between undergoing HRT and potentially having disastrous effects on your psyche, or suffering harsher consequences from your dysphoria for living as a woman.

To claim there are 'no downsides' when even the people for who the procedure exists have to pick between the lesser of two evils rather than a straight up boost, is completely off the mark. Vincent's example at least suggests women without dysphoria can't just 'live as a man for a bit' without it having downsides. Transitioners experiencing the same despite a net gain due to their unique circumstances would confirm it, more than deny it.

You fail to see that the laser focus on trans people is exactly why GP's comment doesn't mesh for the average person, as 'people who seriously desire to do this' are not necessarily people who feel uncomfortable or less comfortable with their own gender.

So please, stop making this seem like an attack on trans people. It isn't. It is merely a rebuttal against the idea that men living as women and women living as men, no further qualifiers given, only out of some 'desire to try it', has no downsides.
Some call it a minimal viable product :)

I think the outrage might be a part of the plan, yes.
> Children are especially malleable to school indoctrination and easily give up their (not yet formed) ethnicity.

I'm not sure why you're saying that like it's a good thing. That sounds horrible.

But I do agree with you. If by "southern Europe", GP meant Italy, I can definitely confirm what you're saying. Like many Romanians, I have family members in Italy and the children either don't speak Romanian at all or speak it quite badly.

I'd like some kind of dumb USB-C which is somewhat compatible with USB-C but has two or 4 wires only and simpler connector. MicroUSB is used in many devices because it's dirt cheap. USB-C is much more complex mechanically and probably will never be as dirt cheap.

Of course it should be visually different. Like cable with two contacts on each side so you would understand that this cable is not going to provide full speed, but still will work and charge.
No, but in my particular situation (which predates the Southwest issue), had I been in Japan, Korea, a decent European, etc I could have managed to get a train ride from a city the size of Charlotte to a city the size of my hometown.
18 months ago I purchased a 17" Lenovo Legion with RTX3070, R7 5800H, 1TB SSD, and 32GB ram for $1500 - brand new. It's a bit heavy, but works just fine - I use it for smaller DL projects, too. $5k for the equivalent Tensorbook seems a bit steep, no?
