Not all autistic kids have food intolerance. But food intolerance is such a common thing in kids on the spectrum that it's part of the evaluation. Autism is a loose definition! My wife and I have had this discussion many times, with therapists, teachers, etc. If you look into it, being diagnosed with ASD, means that you answered yes to enough questions on a long list. That's basically it.

The fact that the definition is so broad leads you to conclude they don't know why it is, or how to change it, or even cause it. Even the definitions of ASD, and or Aspergers has changed. Many who would not have qualified for the diagnosis 30 years ago would qualify now. Money is involved, at the schools, and the schools are the ones doing the testing. But, there is a real need for it. These kids are smart, but the environment is blocking them from learning or expressing.

What is needed is some kind of scientific, measurable, and conclusive understanding of the condition. Until then we are all just grasping in the dark, without even a brain scan.

I think we are the early days of Neuroscience.
I'm torn on this, because on one hand I think keeping a record of everything you spend, sorting through it all to tally it up, and generally tracking one's life with spreadsheets is a horrible way to live. So the tax code de facto requiring that is oppressive.

But on the second hand (and this was my main point here), these are deductions that businesses already get to take. Get routinely paid on a 1099, and see all the deductions you can take essentially by virtue of now "running your own business". It's obscene. Perhaps set up an LLC+S-corp for even more.

But on the third hand, I get the argument that if we just eliminated business deductions in general, that "thin businesses" would be impractical.

I think, in general, we spend too much time allocating resources to punishing people (for it is punishment - the prison system does not reform) rather than resolving the actual issues that lead them to behave the way that they do. Obviously, we need a balance between enforcement and abatement - I'm not saying we should stop enforcing laws - but I think the balance is way off.

One of the things that I don't see discussed very often is how most criminals, aside from those who have mental illnesses that compel them to action, act rationally in the moment when they commit a crime while that logic is foreign to someone not in their situation.
Answer: They aren't. The article doesn't mention a single instance of anyone actually ingesting borax, just "some TikTok users are encouraging viewers to add borax to their water"

After I moved states, I discovered a pretty effective anti-spam call heuristic. If the call is coming from the same area code as my phone number, it is most likely spam.

It seems spam callers assume most calls will likely be from a local number and so they initiate calls from the same area code as the target. However, since the area code in my local area is completely different from mine (since I moved), this tactic actually backfires and acts as a pretty good spam signal.

Don't even start me on diagnostic imaging.

The big DI manufacturers have consulting arms that will help physicians with financing to buy CTs, MRI, PET, that will help them obtain Certificates of Need.

Make it a paid service. It's the only way it will work.

Your example is not relative to the points being made about current work. So irrelevant and unnecessary commentary.
I’m a systems engineer, not a LiDAR expert, so forgive me if this is not that useful, but…

Active-gated systems may be helpful in improving range resolution. It’s an old technology (Ball Aerospace was doing it in the 90’s) but it could find application today with improved and lower cost components.

Chirping or encoding the LiDAR could also be a solution for enhanced resolution?

Noted! We’ve messed this up in the past and I have a vague recollection of this same confusion. Hasn’t helped that others (possibly also partly due to us) have made the same mistake. We’ll work to correct this usage.

Just to check that I understand, do you mean changing the text manually when it gets it wrong? If so, sure - I can look into it.
I'll second wishing I could see the raw transcript vs the cleaned up version (perhaps vertically over one another in different colors?), and also how fantastically magical it is at allowing me to come right in and converse naturally.

Great job!
As someone whose grandfather was fighting in the Pacific, looking back sure seems easy to judge but there are no guarantees and in the horror that was WWII you don't really take risks 'because'. You ensure victory. My grandfather was forced to call in flamethrowers on other human beings that would not come out of tunnels. He never forgave himself for that. Was he a monster? Should he have told his supperiors to stall out their plans, maybe wait the guys out instead? He was part of the occupation and saw the damage the bombs did first hand, helped cleanup the damage, but he never doubted the need to end the war or the way it was done. But glad you looking back figured out a better way by volunteering to let my grandfather 'bottle them up'.
Interesting -- I read the Commonwealth books and really enjoyed them but still prefer his earlier Night's Dawn series.
You still end up beholden to a service. They have human beings now, but they might not in the future. Or they could vanish. Even running everything on your own systems is risky because you still end up being reliant on domain registrars.

You are conflating two separate things. The Japanese were willing to stop hostilities before Nagasaki and Hiroshima, but only if they kept large chunks of China, the mandates, and Korea. In other words, only if their war gains and goals were recognized. After the bombing they were willing to surrender. Period. Contrary to popular myth, United States never made any formal guarantee that the emperor would stay in power. In fact, it was only because of MacArthur that he did so. All they committed to that allowed the Japanese to surrender with any minimal amount of face saving was re-iterating the long-held American position that people should choose their own government.

Meta says to imagine you can: "Imagine a professional musician being able to explore new compositions without having to play a single note on an instrument.

Just wanted to say, you have benefitted a lot from the last 10%.

In the future, when you're bootstrapping a project and building scaffolding, you know what the 100% looks like and feels like, which means you're going to do a much higher quality job on the first 80-90%.

The first 80-90% of your future projects will be smoother, faster, and more likely to bring you success.

Sports analogy: by practicing your swings 100 times instead of "until I got my first on-base", you're investing in your future RBI and OBP, which is more valuable than any individual hit today.

I don't really understand how "stateless" fits in here. As in it's HTTP-based? As in it doesn't need a database behind it? What does stateless mean in this case?

In general, I think the readme's not bad. I think the example is eye-catching, and I can imagine this would be really nice to make a prototype with. Whether or not it would scale well etc, yes, it would be good to have some of that detail. But I can see a really good use for it already.
This is harsh, but I agree. It's baffling to me that he doesn't seem to understand this point. WTF.

An unlimited amount because your advise does not scale.

Society has rapidly digitized. We now have billions of people using big tech account systems to access things. And the things are no longer toys, they represent things of real value.

We need legislation. It should be illegal to randomly deny service, to not disclose a reason, to not have a sane appeal process.
The best thing about the NileRed superconductor video is it shows him initially failing to reproduce a YBCO superconductor after having already succeeded once before!

It goes to show how difficult manufacture, or in the case of the LK-99 news cycle “reproduction”, of these materials really is, and YBCO was a well documented area of superconductor manufacture.
No. They actually train dogs to alert on cash, specifically. The scent they train on is the scent of the special ink used to print US currency. They do this because large amounts of cash moving between cities/states is often a hallmark of organized crime.

This is a good point. Fascism is made up and has never existed, and it certainly has never been created or perpetuated by police. It is a mystery why anyone would make a statement otherwise when the better option of discussing theoretical incremental change is on the table.
My problem isn't just with the royalty rates, it's making the default rate so low and using it as leverage to push authors into exclusivity contracts.

Imagine if Apple started telling companies "You have to pay us a 60% cut, unless you agree to not have an Android app in which case we'll do 30% instead."

You could argue that Apple is entitled to make that arrangement because they essentially created the mobile app software market, but I have a hard time imagining that people would be OK with it.
What about business deductions, or are you okay with low-margin businesses being forced to evaporate overnight? And what about all the charities that suddenly get vastly less donations because they're no longer deductible? Also as the other comment notes, that's either a drastic cut to revenue, or incredibly regressive on lower-income earners.

Taxes are more complicated than they need to be, but they're also complicated because the world is complicated.
So you are claiming that not wanting to do one thing means you are forced to do some other thing? It is a choice, nothing is "forced".

More importantly, you don't have to "pay a bribe to a rent-seeking company" (talk about gross misrepresentation!), the IRS offers free online filing to everyone (and I'm not talking about the "Free file alliance" with tax software vendors, but a direct service from the IRS).

My point is that the metric totally ignores P. An austere country of 100 million people on a tiny plot of land is seen as more acceptable than a few million people on a huge area. This promotes wrong answers.
This wouldn’t be any of that though; you absolutely can “contract away” your Apple account and everything attached to it.

This revenge fantasy is not in any way real; Apple can for sure do what they did here.

Worse than that (but way more telling), sometimes it's the same area code AND prefix. C'mon, man.
Ads suck. But you know what's worse than Ads? Selfish people. If Google, YouTube and everywhere else starts asking you to pay high subscription fees for using their services, are you willing/going to pay? You looked up information for work, for life, for leisure, you spend hours online each day, gorging information and content for free. You even learned valuable things and made money using their services and information. And yet all you have to say is don't bother me while I'm leeching off your free content.

You can't be fired from Linux, and if you contribute to the codebase, you do own it under the terms of the GPLv2. (Idk if Linux does copyright assignment but even if they do, it's still GPL).

Whereas a company can tell you to fuck off for literally no reason, give you nothing, and shove you out onto the street with no healthcare and no salary, and then sue you if you if you try to do anything about it.
You miss my point.

My interpretation of the evidence is that 41% happily admit it. And another 50 plus pretend they don't. A few are unlucky as you say.

If this were not the case, those 50ish percent would stop doing it. The fact they keep paying these fees tells us one of 2 things is true: EITHER they are honestly not capable of managing a current account OR they (like the 41%) choosing not to but are conditioned not to admit it.

Personally I find the second option much more likely.

The same is true in a lot of other pieces of evidence: people routinely vote against their own interests for instance. And they knowingly eat food that's bad for them despite being offered alternatives.

This is a fundamental part of human nature no one wants to address: people are not logical, dispassionate, long term thinking, selfless, analytical, strategic entities. They do dumb shit that is bad for them. And then they lie about it.

"Lie" might not be the right word, people will claim passionately they want X then do Not X without a moments hesitation.
Yeah, they stay in the working set but files are marked for different commits. Ideally git could do it at the line level instead of by file.
Does anyone else hear a kind of background static in these samples? It almost sounds like part of the track is more compressed in terms of dynamic range than other parts, which doesn't make any sense to me. I'm trying to decide if this is my own confirmation bias at work or not.
A pretty sentence, but since the courts have upheld both qualified immunity and civil asset forfeiture, it appears the people have granted the power to do so.

Does that mean men get to have more sex when they get older? Maybe it's because they know what they're doing. But, they'r also better at eliminating less-experienced younger competition. Coincidentally, aging more brings us closer to death, which can't be right.
Almost certainly. I can't think of any other reason you'd take $100k on a plane.

But there are plenty of stories out there of people having very large amounts taken from them on their way to buy cars or whatever. The story probably picked a bad example but the police are definitely just taking whatever they can get without any regard for justice.
Why publish this graph without running the measurements again though? Serious question since I’ve no idea about the effort needed to get this data.

> but we forbid (like most companies) GPL software.

Er, what? GPL is completely fine for corporate use; it doesn't even trigger until you distribute to third parties.

> but GPL is a disease that plagues the technology world. There’s a reason we convert our code (and release most code) under Apache and that’s because it’s true FOSS. GPL has strings attached just like BSL.

It really doesn't. And if you're at a point where you're arguing that BSL is Open Source but GPL isn't... on the bright side, there's no point in arguing after that; you're clearly in a different world than the rest of us.

> Clearly we hurt your feelings somewhere on the past, but let’s not go around spreading falsehoods.

Let's also not go around making unhelpful ad hominems.
Still intermittent for me.
And yet, so many times you ask cops to help with a crime they say "oh, that's a civil matter, we can't do anything".
Nobody is happy with the relationship between employee and employer being adversarial.

It's just a consequence of what each person wants out of the relationship. The employer wants to extract as much labor as possible for the minimum price. The employee wants to extract the maximum price for minimum labor.

Many employers have an unrealistic expectation that their employees will have the same passion as they do about the product/company. What makes it especially heinous is that the employer will become wealthy off the labor of the employees, and then be upset when the employees want a piece of the pie.
This is just a sound bite.

Police has lots of problems in USA. But go live in the country without effective police force first, and then talk about how police isn’t here to enforce laws and justice.
Or kept for themselves. One sheriff recorded himself driving through an upscale neighborhood and going car shopping. He found a car that he liked and said he was going to seize it and keep it for himself.
