Usually yes, but it might shrink if dried in the dryer.
Wow, my experience could not be any different. In my experience, the business side of the house is the primary driver of adopting "shiny things", by a long shot. Engineers plead for empirically-supported, simple, robust, high-quality implementations. But they're overridden by the impulse to add complex whiz-bang buzzwords. It makes a great pitch - long term viability be damned.

I'm not blaming "managers" here. This applies to anyone who sticks their nose into an engineering process without the merit or to do so.
Redistribution from those with low FICO scores to those with high FICO scores is a stronger effect than re-distribution from low income to high income people.

We'll build our own internet! With blackjack and hookers!

More seriously, I see echoes of the gentrification cycle. At the end of the cycle nobody wants to live in the soulless corporate hellscape they've helped create, so they follow the cool kids to the next up-and-coming neighbourhood. It works for social media sites, so why not for an entire protocol?

If you can figure out a protocol where ads don't work, I'm in.
I've noticed eating more doesn't seem to delay the time period till being hungry the next time by all that much. Especially with anything containing sugar that seems to create more appetite. I usually aim to eat just enough to not be hungry.

We've got refrigerators now! Storing lots of energy can be a machines job!, eating a lot seems like the ultimate in not taking advantage of modern tech.

It's exactly this - a shorter line you can pay for under the guise of technology.
I guess you can technically test everything in a CRUD app as integration test. Doesn't mean you should.

Surely, you have a baseline of verification/validation logic for which unit tests are the best fit. And based on my experience of my last project, if you can't do proper unit testing you likely have the wrong granularity in your methods and classes.
I meant the comment you responded to for a different thread, but yes, there is a strong mapping between the kernel of an OS and the preferred C library of that OS, because what is the point of exposing functionality to programs in userspace, like more efficient methods, if you have to crack open kernel docs to figure out how to use it, instead of a nice wrapper in your C library. And both the kernel people and the clib people want you to have access to better methods.

But as their goals and timelines are different, they are out sync, which comes into play not only in the new functionality not being included, but variations of existing functionality where the function has additional flags or parameters that the clib function hasn't added. For example, you'll often see this in areas involving threading, starting processes, and sockets. Luckily for most people you'll often find a fork of the clib or just a 3rd party library that wraps the functionality, but if you are on cutting edge or using a feature that never really caught on because its applicability is very niche, you'll have to go back to syscalls.

Clearly you did not read the parent comment.

They work in Manhatten because of population density, the grand parent clearly said they do not work in "spread out neighborhoods"

So now we are shifting the goal posts from "walk-able neighborhoods" to walkbale high density neighborhoods. Not only do I oppose walkablity I also oppose High Density, I like my Single Family home on .75 acres of land or less.

Python is both an interpreter, and quite dynamic. Both of these lead to lower performance when compared to less dynamic, compiled solutions. All of Java, Go, and .NET are compiled and (much) less dynamic.

This is absolutely an expected outcome.
Obviously the government can stop issuing services to a certain ID, but being run on a decentralized computing platform (plan is an Ethereum layer 2 I believe) means that they cannot stop you from interacting with other governments or with third parties.

I can't speak for all people in the US but my family is not content with selection in a single store. We buy different kinds of items in different stores. And I mean big stores, with big parking lots and dozens of isles. It is also not very clear that you spend less time shopping: you cannot possibly live off 3-4kg of food for a week or two so you must shop very frequently.
The theorem assumes the function has identical domain and codomain. Eg f(x) = x^3 maps [0, 1] to itself.

So that's why they gave the glass stirring example, the domain here is the whole volume of water. So as long as it ends up in the same volume of water, the process of stirring is assumed to be continuous and therefore this theorem applies. Your example changes where it ends up (ie not back to the same domain) and so it cannot be applied.
I went through and vouched for the other comments. There is no way that they should be automatically dead.
What does your grandma think? Did anyone bother to ask her?
The article says a lot of things, some of which are even true. Debate judges are volunteers and there are tens or hundreds of thousands of people who've done it. I don't doubt there are judges who make bad decisions, but that ideological quote, if it's real, is definitely not representative of how debate is actually judged in most or prestigious tournaments.

(Also, even that isn't an instant-win button! Any decent debater can spin an actually-you're-the-imperialist argument in almost any circumstances, and sadly paying attention to judge biases is also routine. And FWIW at something like a state championship tournament there are a lot more normie judges who won't vote for a K, no matter how well argued, than there are Maoists.)
Is this an ADHD thing? When subtitles are present, they're all I can focus on. I visit folks regularly who need them (they probably just need hearing aids) and whatever we watch is a shitty book because my eyes focus on the words changing rather than the content.

But we don't understand the effect of Vitamin C, or D. Your analogy is deeply flawed. We understand engines well enough, but we don't truly understand the machinery of even a single cell of our body.

We have broad strokes - take C for a cold. Take D in winter. But there are trained scientists who disagree with even these statements! We have people making a mockery of Nobel Prize winners over it! Where have you ever seen such debate about combustion engines.
Hence the goal of forcing the powerful and wealthy to go through the same process as everyone else.

When we force the same process on the powerful and wealthy as are applied to everyone, suddenly these programs that inconvenienced tens of millions without any careful evaluation are put under close scrutiny to determine their value.
Tax breaks for donations only impact these kinds of schemes.

The majority of donations aren't conditioned on a tax write off from what research has been done.
I’d be the first to say I’m not a fan of the TSA but this is a bit of an extreme take.

Yes, you can bypass the measures, but there’s a fallacy in assuming they don’t still stop bad actors.

iirc the TSA failure rate is an abysmal 70%, but I’d wager that for determined, organized individuals a lock has the same failure rate. You can easily break past a lock but does that mean we should be leaving our doors, cars etc unlocked?

The solution is probably to replace them or improve them but not get rid of them altogether. Or perhaps the solution is to increase the purview of DHS here, which is generally more skilled and has comparatively stellar performance stopping domestic threats.
Upvote if you actually read the proposal in question.
My point is that the original argument made is not a kritik because it is still arguing against the policy of minimum wage, which is why it's a stronger argument, even if it wouldn't score you many points in a competition.

The pre-9/11 security screening itself was less invasive and faster than it is now. Luggage, bulky clothing, and anything that set off the metal detector still had to go through the X-ray.

A better alternative would be to let people keep their shoes on, stop worrying about liquids, and not scrutinize small objects in luggage that can't be identified, but obviously aren't guns or bombs large enough to crash a plane. Yes, people have tried to bomb aircraft using shoes and liquids, but those plots were not only ineffective but likely ineffectual.
Or, at least, a safer assumption: it's worth checking to see what they said about it before publicly speculating.

And indeed, it seems they did survey for sun exposure and include it in their analysis, and they caveat a lot of their references to other work in their introduction noting where other studies didn't.

IDK why people try so hard to cram metaphors in to things, especially when the metaphore is more confusing that the thing they are trying to explain. It's not at all like currency and fungibility.

It's like Android SafetyNet where apps can work out if the device is rooted and running custom software underneath the browser/app.
> Do you honestly think it would ever work to just let flyers board planes with no screening of them or their luggage?

One, Pre-Check rules for everyone. Shoes and jacket on, metal detector only. ID check or biometrics. Random subset of bags get X-rayed.

Arming cockpit doors went 90% of the way to preventing another 9/11.
As someone who pays for TSA precheck out of my own pocket, I can tell you my expert opinion: I absolutely pay for shorter line.
You can't donate money to dodge taxes.

You need to donate a good and have it be overvalued or maintain control over it.

Gates mostly donated shares who have a fair value (market value). Gates similarly has control over direction but isn't using the majority of the funds for self enrichment.

Air travel is a luxury. Basically everything else in the airport is private and for a huge fee except the airport itself - and even that's not universally true. If they want to charge for shorter lines why not? Government services charge expedite fees for basically everything else, why not here?

Seems a weird place to draw the line, eh, $30 burgers and $8 water - equally optional - are fine, but $179/yr for people who value their time disproportionately highly is a step too far? Despite the average ticket costing some ~$300? [2]

This whole thing is kind of silly - the identity and name of the passenger shouldn't even matter in the first place, the security checkpoint should remove anything dangerous no matter what their name is. They don't though, TSA fails over 90% of their own red team operations. That's where the focus should be. [1]

I still have considerable difficulty with interpersonal patience, but I feel I've learned something about the sort of personal patience the article is talking about.

Basically when I feel myself becoming inpatient (it's a feeling in my chest, kind of an anxious feeling) I will stop and take a little breath, and give myself a chance to "reframe" mentally a little bit.

I tend to be obsessive about thoroughness as well, and while I still struggle with this, I've learned to "8-bit" things, kind of mentally "zoom out", so to speak.

I've also learned to be okay with not taking the time for something if I don't feel like it (the rule of thumb is to push through minor pain, but to respect serious resistance).
Yet another edit, much more thinking later: isn't it the electromagnetic field then (that consists of photons) that moves the energy from source to sink because photons are capable of moving energy rather than the electric field between the wires? After all you'd need something moving energy and electromagnetism can transfer energy whereas an electric field (or even a moving charge) does not? (as in: current does not equal 'work', that all depends on the associated voltage). It also would explain the 'single electron' issue outlined above, that wouldn't apply, you get a magnetic fieldline or you don't and if you do that single photon can do useful work.

China has geographic and natural resource constraints which will make it quite difficult for them to ever surpass the USA regardless of population. They are deficient in most of the things necessary for a strong industrial economy including iron ore, fossil fuels, productive farmland, fertilizers, and navigable waterways.

The authoritarian dictatorship system they have adopted is also highly unstable. Dictatorships are only stable until some sort of catastrophic "black swan" event occurs, and then everything collapses faster than anyone expected. Their history is full of violent uprisings and civil wars. I wouldn't be surprised to see another one within our lifetimes. Even just maintaining the security apparatus necessary to control the populace is a huge drag on their economy.

1) Note that I indicated that the 20% increase was a real increase and not a nominal one. That means that to the extent that household expenses have increased, it's because households are using their newfound wealth to purchase more/better stuff! That's not a hollowing out of the middle class, that's a prospering one.

2) Household debt has declined significantly over the past 15 years:

People like the feeling of personal progress, mostly through accumulating material posessions, increasing social capital, and raising kids. Getting in the way of any of those is a good way to get thrown out of office. So any solution to the climate crisis has to work within these constraints. I don't understand why people don't grasp this.

We already made the sensible changes. X-raying bags, armored cockpit doors, and passengers who know to fight hijackers - the Flight 93 folks knew immediately the “be quiet, land, and everyone gets out alive” era was over.

I don't see an edit button for my comment anymore so I'm just going to add the following thought: remember that no one is immune to disability. One small slip-and-fall, one other careless driver on the road with you, one infection, etc is all it takes and suddenly you've got to struggle through life to make anything work. That is why this is important: it could be you or anyone you know, and happen at any time. Even if you feel invincible.
The article was written and published by the International Study of War. I would check your own anaylsis, specifically the dates.

That paragraph is a bit misleading/unclear in my opinion, and is further explained lower in the article. Basically the Clear enrollment process is this:

1. First, the prospective enrollee needs to be matched to their ID. The normal way to do this is to take the person's picture, and then facial recognition software matches that face with their ID. However, since facial recognition isn't perfect, there is a "manual override" process where a Clear employee manually checks your ID and says "yes, this is you." That's why I don't think the sentence about "Enrollment photos seen by Bloomberg in some cases didn’t show a face at all and instead, for example, a shoulder and ceiling" is really that big a deal, because in those cases the photo was just ignored, and the person's ID was manually verified (which is what TSA agents do anyways).

2. Once your ID has been verified, then the Clear system scans your retina and your fingerprints. For any flights then that you want to board, Clear just does a retina scan to look up your ID.

The problem is that if the original ID verification is wrong (e.g. the applicant had someone else's ID that just happens to look similar to them, think of the 20 year old trying to get into the bar with their older sibling's ID), it basically would allow the person to fly unlimited without their ID ever being checked again. That is, you only need to "sneak in" once.

I think a better solution is to just more periodically revalidate IDs, and pick some percentage for random additional verification.
I didn't. I said it's okay to own non-general-purpose computers. The article claims it's not.
The thing is, most styles don't have names, only artists using them. If you remove artist names from the training data, you lose the ability to describe those styles, including as combinations (so you can't even do "influenced by rutkowski" styles). This obviously sucks for the user, and I don't think artists should be able to deny control over style just because it makes imitation easy.

In this context, putting an artist back in the model is a pretty sensible form of disagreement/protest. I admit the "I'll take this down if they ask me to" is strange, but mostly because its too weak; the LoRA should just stay up, not demand another no from someone who already made their opinion clear.
