Of course they’re viable - millions of apps use them. The way you’re using "relations" here is not the same meaning as "relational database". You mean something more akin to "relationships" which you can do in document databases, though they may look different than in an RDBMS.

Depends on the movie, and it is not always smooth. Also, it leads to higher piracy in countries where cuts are made because people do want the raunchier scenes. Like Oppenheimer had a bunch of cuts in India but it is still doing well, but it is by no means guaranteed.
Don't think so. Friction, at least, is still unavoidable
In the case of my library, using Overdrive you can still checkout a book as an ePub. It has to clear the Adobe DRM solution, but you get an ePub you can read on virtually any eReader made in the last 20 years. Libby is a specific App, and I think Overdrive as a company really really wants you to use that, instead of just downloading the ePub, but you do have an option.
It takes a lot of cognitive dissonance to be pro USSR in the first place, so a little more shouldn't hurt.

Is there a way to identify a school/dept as a diploma mill?
The piece of paper is the nub. You really need that to convert it to some other ID, cos no-one really checks.

Ideally, it needs to be signed off by an institution that your local passport office accepts. For my latest UK passport, I had to send off the real PhD certificate and it came back within 10 days. My friend (also UK citizen) got his PhD from University of Warsaw and it took months to verify. I am not sure what that process was but the issuer of the PhD is important if you want it legit.

Only my first ever job out of uni checked that I did a PhD there, nowhere else has.

In the UK, the passport appears to be the root ID, so all other renewals check that (driving license is the only other one I've done recently).

I think @edent's answer is best: PhD by publication is best - then bind them together with intro (which can be a survey paper), conclusion and any additional references. I know a Comp Sci PhD did this recently (2016?) at UK uni. Cracking PhD it was too.
None of these are helpful at all. Maybe they're requirements, but none are sufficient, alone or all together, to help anyone who is looking and not finding a mate.

What most adults discover, after college, is that there are few places to find a mate. The only place they will visit with any regularity is work... and even if we ignore the good advice of "don't shit where you eat", work is often a poor environment in which to search for potential mates (maybe especially true at the ages that most are concerned about doing that).

In previous eras, where mates were found more quickly, high school and then college were always the best places. High concentrations of other unmarried people your own age or close enough. But that's discouraged today and often impossible anyway given economic reality. It's definitely unwise according to popular opinion.

Church might have been another place, but not really for generations at this point. Most aren't religious, and becoming religious isn't easy even if you can somehow set aside any philosophical objections to the dogma or worries at the quality of mates available there. A young man or woman who joins a church for the purpose of finding a mate will often be looked at with disdain and suspicion... anyone eligible at those places probably already has candidates in mind. Courtships tend to be a quick thing, so even if you go there and find a woman or man the right age not yet married, someone else already had them in mind and they were probably less than 12 months away from marriage anyway. You showing up and interfering isn't going to win you any friends.

In the 1980s, this might have been solved with bar-hopping. But the AIDS crisis and the end of the sexual revolution hammered the nails into that coffin. It was never a good strategy anyway.

And all of this is just one issue that makes it difficult. There are others.

Our society isn't currently arranged in a way that is conducive to pairing people up for the long term. And likely, societies that are bad at this don't get to remain societies forever. I suspect rather strongly that they die.
This is awesome! One, it reinforces the ongoing maturing of Clojure, the language as a team project. Two, it portends cool new things to come; the kind that can only come from a place of personal liberty. Three, BDFL is retiring from an employer, headlong into his life's work. I for one am cheering.

This is sort of begging the question why? There must be an interesting story behind the need.
Someone posted a link to a more complete transcript in one of the sibling threads here. I think it is ambiguous whether or who thought they were being recorded. They do in a couple instances talk about some things (people they think or know have isotopes or something like that (I don’t know anything about the physics), and some patents) that they don’t want to reveal to their captors. So, I think I’m the very least they weren’t all on the page of “let’s do a big counterintelligence type ruse.”

Of course there are also layers of intrigue going on; they are all colleagues but they must know that they’ll ultimately be interviewed to determine who was really loyal to the Nazi party, so to some extent they are probably trying to convince each other. Meanwhile the guy writing the transcript seems generally to have opinions about their personalities, and a genuine concern for their well-being to some extent, so I’m sure that colors his analysis too.

I appreciated the article.

I'm probably an outlier, compared to others in this thread but I've recently started engaging more with my public library...both physically and digitally (using the apps / websites referenced in the article). Since Reddit and other social media companies did their thing, I started to use my time to read books and magazines...so I have really started to appreciate my public library as a source for gaining knowledge.

Maybe I'm just in an unfortunate area of the US but I've noticed a lack of desire to support public libraries from 'leaders'. Recently, one of my county's council members suggested we should close public library locations as a means to save money to give more money to our police departments. Then the county mayor signed some memorandum saying that public libraries couldn't prevent people from bring loaded weapons in to the library. The latter is especially egregious considering his own office building forbids people from entering with loaded weapons.

I kind of disagree with your premise here, at least in some specifics. MoMA and The Met in NYC absolutely do have a draw for foreign tourists, and are full of them. Both require tourists to pay the full ticket price to get in. LA too has serious museums that attract international tourists.

DC similarly has a huge number of museums that draw in foreign tourists, it's just that they're almost all Smithsonian museums, which are free to everyone.

That and updates are going to be the time where computers stop working. If you don't change anything, it will generally continue to work fine for years. My experience with MacOS at work was that I could expect to spend at least a day fixing whatever broke after each major OS version update, so naturally I'd put off doing it for as long as possible.

Even if things continue to work, updates may come with UI changes that disrupt the user's workflow (and the trend tends to be to remove or hide functionality and make things less useful/information dense as time goes by). Unless there's something you specifically want, modern software updates tend to be high risk low reward from the user's perspective.

Incidentally this is why I prefer desktop Linux. With the exception of Firefox turning into Chrome over the years, FOSS software tends to be remarkably stable. My home computer feels like it hasn't changed at all in almost a decade. I never have to fiddle with it.

There are basically accredited online institutions in the US that are one step above diploma mills. A tell-tale sign is that the university has a tie in with the federal government / DoD (e.g., Northern Arizona University) — advanced degrees with little or no learning are quite common in some career paths.

For these schools, admissions standards are low — focus is on ability to pay.

If you have academic talent, you can breeze through the coursework and papers. The biggest challenge will be convincing your committee, who probably know very little about your research topic, that your topic is valid.

If you’re not academically inclined, I’m pretty sure you can get someone to take your classes for you and/or write your papers for a relatively low fee (probably lower than tuition).
I certainly would not mind similar provisions in law in the US.

As per the Soviets, Stalin had set things straight back in 1931 when he had said that the USSR had 10 years in order to industrialise, because that's when they would get involved in the next big war.

He was correct on that, had it not been for the big inter-war industrialisation push the Soviets couldn't have handled the German offensive in 1941-42. And had the Germans won, which they would have done absent Soviet heavy industry, any talk of Soviet human capital would have become moot as a result of Generalplan Ost getting implemented. Even so, I agree that the big losses suffered by the Soviets during the war were a big drag on their post-WW2 economy and on their society as a whole, it is my belief that the Brezhnev stagnation can partially be attributed to that.

As per Japan, I was thinking more about the political regime when I was mentioning "liberal", or at least that's what I thought the OP had in mind. I know that, on paper, Japan was a liberal democracy post-WW2 (again, from a political pov), but they were a de facto one-party government a good few decades after MacArthur's imposed constitution came into being.

Take a lesson from the American Rockies, where forests are being decimated by a similar beetle blight:

issue prescribed fires, institute managed but aggressive proactive logging on public lands, institute maintenance of fire roads, and spring cleanup of deadfall... _now_.

Unfortunately, 'environmentalists' thumbed their nose to a lot of these practices and the result was half of Rocky Mountain National Park burning down.
There is just one real working prediction market: Polymarket. However, it is currently illegal to use in the US, because of old laws. This can be circumvented with cryptocurrency, but most Americans still won't use such a hack. Which strongly limits the popularity of Polymarket, as US Americans happen to be the people who are most interested in prediction markets.

There are also the prediction ... platforms Metaculus and Manifold, which are legal in the US, since they only use made-up internet points instead of real money. I'm not sure whether this even hurts their accuracy compared to Polymarket though.
Yes, good points though the money angle is debatable.

The USA and Europe are 'on average' also more pro-science than the rest of the world, but I think the East has the edge in education and comes across as more focused on progress. Probably this is underpinned in part because they have a ton of very hard problems that need solving and in the 'rich West' people are much less driven because their lives and the lives of their families are on average already quite plushy.

It makes you wonder what could happen in Africa and Latin America once they embrace education and science.

Of course they should have been changed!

They caused massive damage to the planet. And they continue to do so, the CFCs they emitted will be in the atmosphere for decades.

https://downloads.hindawi.com/journals/crj/1998/137198.pdf In 1991 metered inhalers were responsible for 1% of all CFCs. Since then production has gone down 30-fold https://i0.wp.com/research.csiro.au/acc/wp-content/uploads/s...

Had we done nothing, CFCs from inhalers would be something like 1/3rd of total emissions right now (simply because of the drop). But it's far worse. The world population is much higher now, and healthcare is much more accessible around the world. India, China, the Philippines, many countries with hundreds of millions of people can now prescribe them; they were never included in any 1991 numbers because their healthcare systems weren't that well developed back then. If you factor all of those people in, the majority of CFCs would be emitted by inhalers.

CFCs and Inhalers are a significant problem. No one deserves to get skin cancer because of CFCs.

You should blame manufacturers and the insane patent system, not the scientists working hard to keep the planet from dying.

> Any male preferences get demonized, while female preferences get revered.

Let's preface with the fact that I am a male.

What I have seen is the complete opposite. We males aren't "demonized" for being promiscuous, quite the opposite in fact. Females are outright called "sluts".

What you see on the internet is a drop in the bucket. Social media will default to exaggerated points of view, because they generate engagement. Kids will outgrow these fake trends at some point.
> In the US to market a generic you need to show that it’s the same as an existing approved product currently on the market.

On a related note, you don't need to show that it's actually the same, just that it's close enough. And that doesn't always work out for the best. An easy example being anticonvulsants. My younger brother died from an epileptic seizure and post-death examination determined the active ingredient of the anticonvulsant he was taking wasn't present in his blood. He had just been switched from brand-name to generic. Come to find out that this is/was a known issue that the FDA hadn't figured out how to solve. The generics aren't made using the same process and the end result isn't identical to the real drug.

It is very much true. You are talking about anecdotes of villagers going to neighboring villages which sounds more of being religiously excommunicated than free travel.

Why 1800s? Why not Roman times? All you had to do is state you were a roman citizen, and you could travel - Unimpaired “ Civis Romanus sum”

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civis_Romanus_sum

Borders existed but travel was not impaired, how else do you think trade and commerce worked? Do you think supply chains are a new thing?

It very much sounds like you are conflating serfdom, as an impairment to free travel - it is a different exercise. Because you did have a king, and you were a farmer in that land and in many ways you had lesser rights than a slave.

And yet researchers in other countries managed to find the money this week. That would seem to point to a real relative weakness that's worth thinking about.

Whether it is the result of gatekeeping, bureaucracy, academic squabbling, or something else, a cranky (and hilarious) Russian did better, faster work in her kitchen. Even putting aside professional scientific dysfunction, that seems to indicate a strategic cranky kitchen chemist gap.

I tried to give some advice, for what it is worth coming from me, in some other posts.

And yes, I insist, not being an ass is a great basis. Which requires knowing what makes someone an ass, true. If people fail at knowing that, well, issues at dating are more of a sympthom and not the root cause.

Also, yes, at the end there is only so much others can do for you and help you with. Being able to be self-reliant, and being able to ask for, and accept, help are actually rather attractive traits. As is taking responsibility, first for yourself and then for others.
The superconducting wave function can have different symmetry, e.g. most/all low-temperature superconductors have s-wave symmetry (meaning the wave function amplitude is the same in all directions), whereas high-temperature superconductors have d-wave symmetry, which means the wave function amplitude has lobes and drops to zero along the diagonal axes. There are no p-wave superconductors to my knowledge (which I guess is meant when they talk about a 1D superconductor, i.e. the wave function has p-symmetry, but not even sure if that's what they mean).

I know the main researcher has brought forward a modified BCS theory that combines insulator-metal transition physics with superconductivity, no idea though what to make of that.

You've said or implied this twice, but haven't put forward even a plausible mechanism why this would be a crumbling downfall.
