And what, if not religion, is driving abortion law in Germany, which has a 12-week limit and restrictions such as waiting periods which were illegal in the US under Roe?

It seems to me like the reason Germany doesn’t have a religiously charged debate on abortion is that no major party is pushing for abortion to 24 weeks or even later like in America.
Right, just like 'we' can avoid pollution and traffic from automobiles....

Except they dont even have an accelerator design? RISC-V is just now mulling over matrix extensions, and I don't think special CPU extensions are ever going to surpass dedicated designs... and POWER is ahead of them at the moment.

Also they have basically no presence in consumer PCs. Maybe they have potential in edge/embedded, but thats not really Nvidia's ballgame anyway.
Because only adults vote, you have to factor in the rate of religious retention for these communities. If 60% of the offspring in a religious community are areligious, the opposite effect will occur.

And this belief/concern presupposes that in democratic societies the political power is held by voters, which I feel is highly reductive even for the most effective democracies

FWIW: really the best example of that kind of thought was OSS's "Action!" language for the Atari computers. Unlike all the modern ideas in this space, this was actually a contemporary product (released in 1983). It's a little like K&R C in terms of semantics, with a bunch of concessions[1] to the limitations of the device.

Alas it came at a time in history where it couldn't make much impact. The Atari platform was being eclipsed by Commodore at the time, and the market for Serious Tool Development in the desktop world was swinging hard toward IBM (Turbo Pascal for MSDOS was arriving right about the same time).

[1] Like a more pascal-ish syntax. Atari didn't have curly braces on its keyboard! Also IIRC "POINTER" types were limited to being statically linked into the zero page, as that matched the operation of the hardware without requiring the runtime to move stuff around for you every time you wanted in do a load.

(not a biologist) One thing I find interesting, that while the earth was cooling off from the molten lava stage, there would have been a period where water temperatures were cooling from about 180 degrees F to 120. RNA based life can reproduce at those temperatures, DNA based cannot. As the Hadean slipped into the Archean era, it would have been heaven for bacteria.

Example of "racist reference" from article:

"Another altered scene features Bond visiting Harlem in New York, where a salacious strip tease at a nightclub makes the male crowd, including 007, increasingly agitated.

The original passage read: “Bond could hear the audience panting and grunting like pigs at the trough. He felt his own hands gripping the tablecloth. His mouth was dry.”

The revised section replaces the pigs reference with: “Bond could sense the electric tension in the room.”

Not exactly sure why would it have different description in any night club, no matter what location (which I didn't even noticed at first).
The binaries produced just for the engine itself (so exluding the game code and assets) is already several MB large when compressed with brotly or gzip [1].

I think this question will be answered better in a few months.

The article addresses that very concern:

> Another frequently used phrase is “putting a price on carbon,” as the president of the World Bank Group begged the world to do nearly a decade ago. This is a way of calling for taxes, which would require legislative action, and of course, many people don’t like the idea of taxes. But if carbon burn were taxed in a progressive way, dislike of a carbon tax might be mitigated. It might also be possible to funnel some of the taxed income directly back to citizens, also progressively.

Hi, I wrote this blog post about startup equity a couple of years ago that answers a lot of the questions you asked, I hope you find it helpful.

You negotiate around dilution by asking for additional equity grants, like you would for a raise / promotion. But in general dilution is a good problem to have because it means you are raising more money and growing.

For any real valued random variable,

E[Y^2]

always exists although it might be infinity.

You mentioned moments -- as I recall some writing in statistics uses that word, but I never have.

Your description of the Radon-Nikodym (R-N) result does not look right. Again, I don't want to write a lecture in graduate probability, but from memory the usual description of that result goes:

Given real valued, integrable function f and sigma algebra s, there exists real value function g measurable with respect to sigma algebra s so that g integrates like f over all sets in s. So, with real valued random variable Y in place of function f, we let

E[Y|s]

be the function g. If s is the sigma algebra generated by real random variable X, then we write

g(X) = E[Y|X] = E[Y|s]

So the R-N result makes immediate the definition of E[Y|X] and shows that it exists.

If you want a perfect, polished presentation, see the two references I gave, Rudin and Neveu.

My main contribution here remains:

f(X) = E[Y|X]

minimizes

E[ (Y - f(X))^2 ]

and is a minimum variance, unbiased estimator of Y. That's a generalization of the start of this thread and a bit amazing.

How I tell of increase in REM sleep (x):

1. Remembering some dreams in the morning. Especially that I dreamt right before waking up.

2. Calmer mood, less jittery, harder to irritate.

3. Easier to maintain focus on things that are not fun, easier to resist distractions.

How I tell the level of cannabinoids/alcohol in the body fell enough to allow good sleep with both deep and REM phases:
- The first night you sleep with a proper REM phase you get a REM sleep rebound. It's characterized by lot of vivid, intense, often rare dreams. Easy to notice after a period in which you pretty much don't remember any dreams. Happens because there is much pressure in the body to catch up for lost REM sleep, but rebounds are not enough to catch up.

The sad and deeply diabolical thing about cannabis is that it's half time in body is quite long (though adapted bodies metabolize it faster), so smoking/consuming chronicly (defined in Huberman Lab as 2 times per week or more often) is enough to pretty much completely rob you of REM sleep. You can't remember any dreams and even worse, you loose your everyday free emotional therapist that is REM sleep. If you add some other negative experiences or just a difficult period in life, you're in for depression or at least sad/tired/boring days. And what you might escape into in these days? Often more weed.

x: anecdotal, most likely influenced by huberman lab's episodes on marijuana and on sleep. They describe what roles both deep sleep and REM sleep perform. Episode on weed is a must - listen for people consuming cannabis in any form, even sporadically, because lot of things around cannabis are counter intuitive (f.ex. that it doesn't help with sleep). If you thing problems with sleep affect you or that your sleep quality suffers because of drug (including alcohol) use, consider listening to these Huberman Lab episodes or talking to a specialist if that's available to you.

Yeah that is a fair point, nothing new.
You literally kicked off this thread with the statement

Which is a much broader claim than just stating that traditional values increase fertility rate.

After being pressed to provide examples by multiple commenters, and failing to produce even one, you can't just sarcastically pretend that we were talking only about fertility rate all along.

Adams is a very successful book author as a well as being a syndicated cartoonist that has enticed a lot of people to buy newspaper subscriptions. The idea publishers would cancel him due to his blog and podcast opinions flies in the face of business logic.

Local California newspapers are already full of junk, out of date establishment syndicated news stories and woke oped pieces written by junior journalism graduates who have strong radical progressive activist views and agendas. Reader comments (if allowed) tell a story of dissatisfaction in these publications. There is less and less reason to buy them.

I think Dilbert is a terrific cartoon strip that punctures the pretense of large corporation human resources hubris. I don't care what the author of this cartoon strips views are. I'm not interested in what Charles Schultz (Peanuts) political views were either.

> There are no consistent interpretations!

Of course there are. You're confusing the "relativity" part in "General Relativity" with "anything goes" or "anyone can interpret things however they want, without any rules". I have elaborated on this in my other comment to you[0]:

> GR is concerned with objective, well-defined statements. Sometimes a statement might depend on the observer (this is relativity after all) but other observers will still be able to predict what that observer will say because there are clear rules to translate observer-dependent statements between observers. So subjective observer-dependent statements can still be objectively true in this sense.

Web Export for 4 is fine, just not with C#. That may be the same thing to some people, but there is a distinction.
I don't suspect we will get anywhere with this debate, but what I'm saying doesn't contradict any of what you're saying about General Relativity, and also I'm not suggesting the trivial fact that we observe events at the time that we observe them.

> This is simply not true. How do you think we know that they are actually not happening at the time we see them? Would you also say that it's impossible to prove that the events which cause thunder don't happen at the time you hear the thunder, but earlier, i.e. shortly before you see the lightning?

No, and this is exactly where the analogy between the speed of sound and speed of light breaks down, because they are fundamentally different. The speed of sound is not subject to (significant) relativistic effects.

You can easily prove the speed of sound by measuring the time between the lightning flash and when you hear the thunder. There is no analog with the speed of light.

I agree that this is the crux of the argument:

> For all intents and purposes this is happening in real time from our local frame of reference.

But you have not shown this to be false.
It's still only HMD, unfortunately. The original Nokia was killed by Microsoft in 2013.
Strong disagree with this. Merely increasing population doesn't mandate colonialist response. [It could have ended in internal revolts of hungry dispossesed mouths.] There was a socio-economic pathway open to these new people not available to their forefathers: participation in the capitalist economy and possibility for upward social mobility.

It was capitalism and accompanying political restructuring (from feudalism) that released and focused that demographic, intellectual, and technical 'potential'. Would a tiny "aristocratic" minority be able to scale up empire without making emerging (secular, technical including finance) social classes partners in the fruits of empire?

(Convince yourself: Consider demographic and socio-economic trends in China 1990 to 2010. Was it population growth or the socio-political change that catapulted its economic power?)

There is nobody with no gender, there are rarities with natural double gender features, but strictly speaking, nature assigns a gender during early pregnancy.

All the ideas about gender changes occur to people later on and based on personal feelings/factors. The mind is something that develops by education and experience, not genetic urges as far I am aware.

If schools and parents would educate kids saying theres no such thing like gender and you get to choose and society lets the promoters of such go rampant, I imagine this would not lead to a net positive outcome.
The technology behind mastodon is all well and good. In practice, the instances have a lot of sysop drama that results in a very poorly federated network.

Having a model like Usenet, where perhaps you could have some groups federated among a few instances, others that are global, and still others that are purely local, would likely improve upon the situation as it currently is.

Basically, everything social on the Internet is trying to find its way back to Usenet, which was the high point of electronic socialization.
Extradition agreements also exist with Iran, they are a member of interpol
It’s incredibly pathetic and speaks to the inanity of this movement in the publishing industry that they edit old ips instead of investing in new ip that exemplifies their newfound principles.

As a result it doesn't matter (for public opinion) if there are strictly moderated mastodon instances because they will be associated with the free-for-all ones by the Mastodon name alone. This is different from how the internet as a whole is interpreted, where both HN and 4chan can exist without impacting each others reputation
