> And I defy you to find a mainstream film with a moment as horny and gay as the Sexy Saxophone Solo from The Lost Boys.

It was that, but strangely Tim Cappello is not gay.

FWIW, I don't care much about screen chemistry. But friend of mine and her husband are both huge film buffs. The last one which really got her worked up watching was Watchmen in 2009. The author seems to have a point.

On the other hand, my wife likes a good love story on screen where sex is not the focus, but emotions. She's a big fan of K-Dramas, and feels like the stories would be impaired by introducing sex (which inevitably would be part of it in American drama).

The scope of this complaint seems to mainly be blockbuster films, I suppose.
I'm in Canada and there is definitely a strong aspiration to top colleges. UBC, U of T, McGill are generally recognized as top schools, and kids definitely aspire to them. U of Alberta generally gets a lot of attention for engineering, esp. Oil & Gas.

Like a lot of things in Canada the bell curve is flatter -- but it doesn't mean there isn't a bell curve.
I'm bothered that it's still not open source, despite promises when it was first announced (it's been 6 years!)
That would result in less money flowing though
I don't get this figure: how can the average temperature be higher than that of all the years? If this is a model prediction, it's extremely misleading. And if each gray line represents a year, we can't tell if there is a steady increase year/year, all we see are clusters for different years. Also, it seems having wide fluctuations is not uncommon: I see a +2.6 degree increase in 2015. Climate changes can be serious, but it's hard to get straight facts anymore, it seems.
With smartphones you can sortof mitigte them but this really ruined non smart phones
Our last president went on live TV and said we should try cleaning people's lungs with bleach. The leading American news channel regularly aired anti-vaccine propaganda. People at protests were calling for the execution of officials at the CDC, FDA, and NIAID. Meanwhile the "deep state" saved lives.

If you aren't aware of those things, you are ignorant of some of the most important events in recent history. Covid-19 killed a million Americans, more than any war. Being clueless doesn't put you above the fray.
You understand that the negative consequences of changing propellants described in the top-level comment did not occur in other societies, right?

This guy paints.

Seriously though, if you use house drywall painting over existing paint as an example, the actual "paint on surface" step really is short. In my most recent paint adventure the procedure was:

o move furniture

o lay down canvas

o tape

o sand

o [prime, depends on base and final color]

o paint

o wait to dry

o sand

o paint

o undo the coverings.

o enjoy.

It is very difficult to get all that done in one day, but I see new house interiors get basically painted in one-two day by a crew of like 6 guys, followed by an unending series of touch-ups where the painters did a half-assed job on trim, ceilings, and large featureless wall sections where it's difficult to see where paint is lacking.

IME Painting is boring and very easy to get wrong so I have respect for painters that patiently do the job right the first time.
Do you deny that there are widely accepted traits that are associated with attractiveness?

You joined a conversation about promiscuity, sex, and marriage, and calling anyone with a perspective you disagree with an incel is extremely childish and against our guidelines.
One can dream that the solution here would be to have companies to start treating Florida university degrees as worthless. Want a job outside of Florida? Need to go to university and live outside of Florida. Want a job with a company that is based outside of Florida but has Florida offices? Gotta go to university outside of Florida as well.

Will that hurt a lot of people that live in Florida? Yeah, it absolutely will. But sometimes, pain is the best medicine. I know it's callous and heartless, but much like with cancer, sometimes you need to cut out healthy tissue to make sure you cut out all the cancer. At some point you do need to put the needs and betterment of society as a whole above the individual.

Plus I figure if we can manage to hold them off long enough, Florida's gonna turn into a bunch of archipelagos and politically irrelevant.
Different - the objective of EEE is to kill an opponent. The objective of PSS is to maximize the profitability of a product at the expense of the customer. It's really nothing new, this is how every business works - but this force is supposed to be tempered by the existence of competitors, who will take your customers away if you drop the quality of your products too low. In monopoly scenarios, there is nothing to stop a runaway squeeze.

All the corporations accused of acting this way are network-effect quasi-monopolies. That's the root cause.
Well, after my PhD I did get a postdoc right away, but after that it took 6 months to get a job.

In terms of creative stuff, start small I recommend:
* Create a YouTube channel explaining some highly-technical stuff and promote it. If it's unique content, it will get hits.
* Find some remote technical writing job, do it part time for some money
* Tutor -- you can tutor 2-3 days per week and make enough to live

As for some time without a salary, well, I got a job as a programmer, and saved up enough until I could quit. But that 6 months between postdoc and job was a harsh time in life indeed.

RISC-V AI Startup Tenstorrent Gets Another $100M Infusion from Samsung, Hyundai
I took a PTO day to see Oppenheimer mid-week. Another colleague did the same. We both have young kids, so getting to the movies is a heavy lift. We live pretty close to each other and there is a theater about a mile from my house. We decided that we'd definitely do it again for the right movies.
This is obviously a quickly produced paper to get the finding out but.... I find there to be so much missing and so many things poorly worded or posed about their process that would have taken zero time to expound upon, it's infuriating.

"All the reactions are carried out under 10^-2 Pa"

OK, I know they mean 10^-2 of vacuum. But why not say that? "10^-2 Pa" isn't enough. Was this a full vacuum oven? Done in sealed quartz vials? Was there a purge, like argon, or just air?

If you look at the oven temperature profiles, you can see the ramp up time (0-2hr, 0-2hr, and 0-4hrs respectively), and the hold time, but the ramp down time isn't specified! There is no cooling rate, it just shows... a line drop off, with no end time. No label. This can be very critical. Were these just pulled straight out and air quenched? And were they kept under vacuum until at room temp or not?

Like, adding extra experimental setup details would take no time whatsoever to include in a paper and yet these researchers just don't do it. It's either pure fucking laziness or some sorta holier-than-thou gatekeeping that comes from theoreticians, or a combination, and it is the reason that replication is so hard in science right now. I would hope that no journal would accept this shit.
Her methods were improvised and lacking, by her own admission. There are several world class labs working on this today. There's basically zero chance a junior researcher doing amateur chemistry in the kitchen is going to outperform the best groups in the world at figuring out how to synthesize this thing with decent yield, and then characterizing it.
I still don't understand why anyone cares "what number partner" they are... this reeks of old world "unclean woman" stigma. Unless someone is being dangerous and not using protection this is a non-issue, it doesn't physically matter how many partners someone has. Personally I find it more of an indication of how insecure many men are.
4 billion were to me though
I know several PhD pure mathematicians who have taught themselves data science/machine learning on the side during a postdoc and subsequently got jobs in those disciplines.
I see your point, and maybe I haven’t expressed myself clearly.
For sure web apps went from not being feasible to being widespread in a couple of decades or less. However, my point is whether they’ll replace native apps entirely.
There are still limitation to they can do today (as you also mentioned), but that is likely not to be the case in the future.
Honestly, my question behind all of this (which I maybe should face surfaced), is whether it’s today still a solid career direction to learn, say, iOS development compared to web FE.
It depends on the core. For example Furrtek decapped the Neo Geo chips to write that core, and thus is extremely accurate.

A high number of previous sexual partners is a proxy for 'highly attractive' - people who are hot get partners more easily. It's likely that someone who is hot is going to be more willing to leave a relationship that they're unhappy in because they'll be confident they can find a new partner. Someone who is less attractive (or considers themselves less attractive) will stay in a bad relationship so long as it's better than being on their own.

I would argue that means the person who has had more sexual partners makes a better spouse. No one wants to be stuck in a relationship with someone who's unhappy but unwilling to let go. That's toxic af.

Agreed, google and apple do a pretty good job flagging them.

You're also paying for the software they used to lock you out of the features.
But:

1) I meant damage to them, bots are beneficial for users (scrapping services) just like piracy (but this is a political point)

2) Even if the reason for these changes it to fight that "fraud", it does NOT mean it won't be used to further restrict the user freedom.

On Android, banking apps require hardware attestation and this can be seen as reasonable from the security perspective.

But Google abuses it to insert their Adware and Spyware into the system, just like other vendors.
Now if you root your device to remove that crap, then poof - you're no longer considered secure.
With WEI this is about the same thing.
I mean, "whoopsie" bad pins are the main reason that most headers that indicate caching have max enforced cache lifetimes. According to a previous draft of the Client Hints spec, Accept-CH's cache lifetime was supposed to only be 10 minutes, for exactly that reason! But apparently the only implementation so far (in Chromium) didn't have any internal TTL-based eviction logic for these entries at all...

That’s interesting, don’t you think? Wouldn’t that discount most practical research as “politics”?

It shouldn't be. For the same reasons you would shorten TCP/IP to TCP, you should shorten GNU/Linux to GNU. This avoids all of the confusion about what is "really Linux", because when people say that they actually mean GNU.
Maybe there is a backlash against the "obligatory sex scene".

I have always find them boring and it is not because of the lead couple bodies. First, they tend to feel out of place. When an epic battle is coming up, I want to see an epic battle, not a couple fucking. And then the fucking is often done in the least exciting way possible, as if the producers main goal was to minimize the number of erections in the audience. You don't want your movie to be mistaken as porn do you?

So yeah, ultimately, they removed the sex scene, and I think the movies are better for it. The alternative of making really good sex scenes would push the movies into 18+ territory, and I understand the reluctance. And looking and actors with great bodies and sexy outfits is enjoyable as it is, no need for a half assed sex scene that reveals nothing more.
I think you're underestimating the amount of very advanced stuff already done in PL theory, and overestimating how applicable pure maths is to that.

Afaik "category theory [as an] underpinning of type theory" is quite far from true: you can model some type theory with category theory, but it's mostly about modelling, the correspondence is very finicky once you get to the details, and it doesn't help _that much_ for practice.
Then, knowing the bit of CT that a typical mathematician knows is not going to amount to much or anything very helpful, in practice, and for the things it will help with (probably going to be quite theoretical cutting edge research), you'll have plenty of people that studied exactly that working on it…

I'd like it to be the case, but being able to describe Yoneda and knowing about assembler is, I think, a far cry from getting you anywhere near these jobs.

I did a cell biology post-doc for a couple of years, and then got a junior job working on data visualisation libraries, which I really enjoy. After two years my salary has doubled.

I had no experience of large projects, either. I followed the advice of someone in the industry, and made my CV more or less just about my hobby programming projects. Nobody cared that I hadn't contributed to open source projects, and they certainly didn't care about my previous career.

The tricky part was getting through the first phone screen. HR people didn't really understand the experience I had.

Level 4 is steering wheel mandatory. Level 5 is steering wheel optional.

Geofencing is part of the criteria, but a car that can only drive in the USA but can’t drive in Europe still qualifies as level 5.

Similarly a car that refuses to drive in a blizzard but can do everything else is level 5. Being able to drive at night or moderate rain is mandatory however.

That said, there is plenty of slightly different definitions thrown about. I am sure someone is going to argue a car needs to be able to drive in any country to qualify etc etc.

Edit: To be clear existing self driving taxi services aren’t level 5 services with existing restrictions, but the car is physically capable of much more than it’s being used for. It can operate at night and in the rain etc they are however being extremely cautious.
The opposite could also be true, that people avoid admitting regret over their promiscuous past by convincing themselves that the "experience" makes them better judges of the quality of their relationships
Then that's a problem with the dysfunctional laws and not the company, UNLESS the company is using those dysfunctional laws to enable their market capture. Do you know if Overdrive is doing this? If so then it's fair to criticize their market capture because it was done with the power of the state (point of a gun). If they are not it's obviously some sort of derangement.

I find the tendency to make private companies and people - those who are playing fair - the bad guys in these scenarios extremely abhorrent. Let's fix the laws.
Wait, can Linux not timestamp packets with the monotonic clock? Using wall time just feels wrong here.
You could have just requested more contexts then. You instead picked three particular phrases, which are actually least relevant parts of the linked article, and concluded (or appeared to conclude) that my article is not worthwhile to read. It might be, but I want it to be worthwhile to read and your reply had no hints to avoid that. Especially given that the very point of my article is about providing those contexts.
This is blatant whataboutism.

> My main advice then is to think about jobs OUTSIDE the technical sphere.

Here’s one second-hand data point to support that advice.

I do writing and translating (among other things), and in the past few years I have worked on a couple of projects with a former math Ph.D. candidate who is now an editor at an academic publishing company. I think his field was algebraic geometry. I met him only after he left academia and I don’t know exactly what led him to look for a job in publishing. He seems happy and motivated in his job, though, and has been a pleasure to work with. His first solo project was a book I had translated, and I occasionally had to advise him about the editing process. But he learned quickly and has since been promoted.
You know how "basilica" meant a public building in Roman times, and the word came to mean "Christian building"? This is what's going to happen to libraries. In 50 years people will use it meaning "homeless shelter". Some older guy will explain that a long time ago, people used to go there to read physical books.
According to yesterday's article on the same case, the FCC is claiming to also have done just that:

> “Armed with the facts [the FCC] gave phone companies permission to cut off this traffic before going one step further and directing them to block it outright. We got results.

I don't know if it's still the case but Verizon used to charge you to block spam calls - so if you didn't pay and they knew you were being called by a spam number, they would still let it go through. Absolutely insane. It was something like $4 a month.
To those complaining about getting constant calls. This is fixable if you want to fix it.

1. Set up voicemail

2. Set to ignore all calls from numbers not in your phone book.

3. Resist the FOMO that they count on you being suckered into.

This is just a form of “you may have already won!” The Ned Flanders moment of “but what if it’s an emergency?” Emergencies don’t come from random numbers. Random numbers with legit calls will leave messages.

Take back control of your time. You aren’t thrall to your phone.
> ... for upper middle class women like my wife, and they want access to systems that fit into their worlds. And their worlds revolve around mobile ...

I think this is actually one of the main causes / attack vectors for enshittification, and the reason it'll never be stopped. No one says "no" to upper middle class women, ever, in the U.S. at least. And why would you? They constitute most of consumer spending.

The Mozilla Corporation is a for profit company completely owned by the nonprofit the Mozilla Foundation. Originally there was just the nonprofit, but that caused tax issues with the money generated from the search deal, and after paying a few million to the IRS they switched to the current setup.

I don't think it's fair to claim the nonprofit side only exists to "claim legitimacy." All of their revenue goes back into the corporation or the foundation.
With myself it depends on the task and genre of music. I often turn to music without lyrics if I really need to focus as it drowns out distractions and doesn’t create one itself.
IMHO, it varies wildly from company to company. A portfolio is great and I'd expect some sort of general coding test. In general, if you can do the usual leet code tests (I know, but it's the world we live in...) can demonstrate a good knowledge of C/C++ and show you actually understand how pointers and memory work, you're probably hireable as a beginning embedded software engineer.

If you're looking for bare metal work (as opposed to embedded linux) being able to read and understand schematics is useful, though I've never had anyone ask for that in an interview.
