I use 18k, with the normal ring design that has a thinner side towards the palm, counting on that thin part of the ring to break before a full degloving. I did ask about whether it was possible to get a 14k ring that came in two halves with 22k linkages between the halves (the idea being that it would split very easily in an emergency but most of the ring would be scratch resistant), but after looking at me like I had two heads one jeweller said it wasn't possible and the other jeweller quoted me some obscene price which, fair enough. Regardless, still remove the ring before you work with any tools that are a risk though, like a belt sander etc. If you use a workshop regularly, I would just build a designated container at a convenient height for your wedding ring, so you always know where it will be if it's not on your hand.
I wish I understood what "wordiness" means. Perhaps it's restating the same simple point three times in as many loose sentences.

People who harp on this point usually point to the writing of Hemingway and similar writers (Carver comes to mind). All of these men are better writers than I am, but I still prefer to read Nabokov. Could Nabokov have "made his point" in fewer words? Almost certainly, but I wouldn't have enjoyed them any more.
True, let me also include the ritual of shaving. It ain't fun.
Consider checking out your local UU (Unitarian Universalist) church if one exists. They're one of the few positioned to poach from the huge flock of "nones" without any change in belief.

UU is basically the church of be excellent to each other, yet whenever I go it's almost entirely old people. It's fun to chat and drink coffee with them, but I wonder where all the younger atheists/humanists are.
> So, you will effectively break your code if you try adding any of these.

I don't follow, isn't this just bringing in features from a later version of the language and complaining they don't work? Pattern matching doesn't work in Python 3.9, but I wouldn't say it "effectively breaks your code" just because you try them in python3.9

You also don't have to add them, they're optional.

As usual, the manuscript itself is a bit more discrete than the press release, but this sentence in the conclusion shows the potential benefits - scalable and practical resetting of somatic stem cells, which has been a barrier in translation to actual therapies:

- "Our work shows that TNT reprogramming is a practical and scalable approach to overcome these intrinsic characteristics of hiPS cells, which is important for the clinical delivery of this technology."

It seems as though the author is hinting at a spectrum of decreations from physical to mental. On one hand it suggests that, Weil equates the decreation of the self to be synonymous with physical decreation, while the author suggests that mental decreation to be an other valid interpretation.

Very cool research! The title is poorly worded, so the quick summary is that we've known how to create stem cells (induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPSCs) from non-stem human cells for a while, but they aren't as "good" at being stem cells as embryonic stem cells (ESCs). So this paper is not presenting a new way of making stem cells, but is very cool nonetheless.

Sidequest - epigenetics. You have your DNA that codes for the proteins and rnas that do lot sof important life things. But all your cells have the same DNA so how is a skin cell and a neuron both able to exist with the same DNA? There's a layer of regulation on top of the genes that determines what genes are expressed, how much, and what forms (you can get different proteins from the same DNA sequence, look up exons and introns if curious). If these forces of gene regulation are inherited across generations of cells (e.g. when a white blood cells divides, it makes another white blood cell with all those relevant regulatory factors set without having to start again from a stem cells), we call that "epigenetics"

This paper looked at the epigenetic factors that result in iPSCs not behaving like ESCs and identified differences/aberrations in how certain epigenetic patterns (some keywords to Google include DNA methylation and histones in epigenetics) develop through the process of becoming stem cells/reprogramming. The technique they developed resets the aberrations in the iPSCs to make them function better.

(Warning - opinion/speculation/I reserve the right to be wrong): This is very cool in terms of making better iPSCs for research purposes. I'm not sure what impact it would have in using iPSCs in medicine. iPSCs are essentially barely controlled cancer cells which is not great for putting inside people, and this paper doesn't provide a new way of creating stem cells. Maybe better reprogramming makes them easier to control and safer/more functiononal? But using them therapeutically is a different conversation and not every paper needs to solve all the things in the universe, even if that would make for a more clickable title.
Europe is also behind in tech, though I don't know that this could be a factor yet.
Stem cell research has a lot of controversy due to the fact some years ago you could only get stem cells from embryos.
For some people (like the Catholic Church) that was a huge ethical issue.
Now it is not.

That's just emotional reaction to something very in-your-face, in same vein some folks are terrified of flying planes, despite it being consistently safest method of travel but can hop on a car and drive day and night without much of a worry.

Long range artillery is the killer in Ukraine in terms of numbers, combatants consistently say so on both sides. But it doesn't have that wow effect of drone drop videos.

It has been the same say in WWI, anybody who read for example All Quiet on the Western Front would see it there. Not typical US wars against some poor fuckers with rusty AKs, but this one is very different and much more symmetrical. Something tells me that any symmetrical non-nuclear conflict these days wouldn't look that different to Ukraine.

>>> The fuck is wrong with people?

Its not people, its the predominant zeitgeist of the time.

Lack of duty starts at the top. It has spilled down for quite a long time. Since right before 9/11, at least. Now, its prevalent across all fields and at all levels.

- Most teachers shying away from stopping bullying in the classroom.

-Most big-city cops looking away from crime.

- District Attorneys not prosecuting criminals.

- Hospital Heads (HR?) giving ER + ICU doctors unlimited time off to "ponder" someone's murder.

- Leaders punishing their reports who are fighting crime, bullying, or laziness.

- Asset managers making ESG their duty, vs customer best interests.

- 2008 Banks failing duty to disclose CDOs/MBS garbage

- 2020-23 School districts failing the duty to educate kids

- 3-letter agency leaders (FBI, CDC, EPA, etc etc) failing to inform public.

- Presidents sending soldiers to die in neverending conflicts that do nothing for our defense.

Keep going up the chain, you keep seeing failure of duty.

It starts from the top, and percolates down.

No, he had answered your first question and then you came up with an absurd hypothetical as a rebuttal, so he responded with an extension of your hypothetical which demonstrates its absurdity.

> I rest my case that unions can actually be very harmful due to it being a power structure and particularly if they are not subjected to any check and balances.

Sure, but the topic was if having unions was better than not… anything can be harmful given some abnormal premises, so you’ve made no valid point.

As a side question, is your objective to ‘win’ the argument, or be correct? To me, it sounds like the former.
Fine and well until someone injects code to exploit some 0day in lynx. Correct me if I'm wrong, but lynx doesn't even have sandboxing the way Chrome & FF do, right? Sure, it's a much smaller attack surface than those presented by traditional browsers, but if I had to hazard a guess, I'd assume it's been far less targeted, and considerably less hardened over the years.

Note: this is NOT an endorsement of Chrome, FF, Webkit, Blink, Gecko, nor is it a suggestion to NOT use Lynx - just a reminder that there are no silver bullets in security.

If we're treating them as ordered containers then it really ought to be surprising and confusing that two dicts with the same elements in a different order are considered equal. Other ordered containers such as lists or tuples don't behave this way.

I'd use an `OrderedDict` in situations where I have a mapping where the order of elements is significant. `OrderedDict` signals intent much more clearly, and its `__eq__` method cares about order.

Absolutely, but emotion should come from a place of deep understanding. If something is extremely harmful, studying it and deeply understanding it will lead you to an intense desire to stop it, a very emotional response. A message trying to shortcut that process of deep understanding should always he viewed as suspicious, and upon learning you find that the anger is warranted, at the very least the tactic should be viewed with disdain. I personally resent being treated like a stupid child who must be managed.
> It's pretty morally dense (to put it politely) to view "hating Putin" as merely "the current thing".

It is, and is the result of politics around Trump. A decade ago the idea was a punchline. In 2012, Obama zinged Romney for having a “1980s foreign policy” for saying Russia was a threat. Did that change in 2014 after Russia annexed Crimea? Nope, it was still a punchline: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2014/03/....

Why do we suddenly care about Putin now, when China is still brutally occupying Tibet and rounding up Muslims in camps? Hint: it’s not because anyone can find Ukraine on a map.

The CIA rarely goes anywhere with guns. And this is way worse than drone strikes. Drone strikes kill some people, often terrorists. At least the US has a material self-interest in killing terrorists. Meddling with the internal affairs of a country with 241 million people has much greater consequences.
All progress bars lie https://austinhenley.com/blog/fixprogressbars.html

It's a challenging problem, because either attempts at a solution (being direct, or being indirect) causes a worse user experience due to expectations of linear progress. For example proposed solution 1 in the article would have you create some sort of animation or additional progress bar to let people know if something is actually stalled/dropped vs something just taking more time, you would still be lying to them, but it's for the benefit of user experience.

stem cells are pluripotent, meaning they have more than one developmental fate.
further on they become putative, meaning the possibilities are narrowed to a particular cell type.

stem cell therapies used to involve extensive selection processes, to harvest cells that develop according to therapeutic goals.

wiping out determined fate, means far less process required, and produces an effectively universal [or near so] stem cell that will be fate determined by surrounding tissue and diffusive signals.

This one’s technically foam, but it’s a very cardboardy foam. With a little bit of carbon fiber reinforcement (provided) it’s surprisingly durable and MUCH simpler and easier to build that a balsa or fiberglass airplane.

After building and flying one of these, I can certainly believe that cardboard/foam construction is great for a “disposable” (single use) airplane or even for a couple of missions - knowing that the life span will be short.
If 100% of the money is evenly distributed to every citizen, there is not a cent left to fund any corruption. Ideally the minimal administrative costs should not even come out of the carbon tax, of which fully one hundred percent should be evenly distributed to every citizen.

Presumably there would be some wrangling about how to measure CO2 emissions in certain harder to objectively measure contexts, but they're still not getting any of the money, they might just sneak in a way to not pay their full share. And we know with low variance how much CO2 is emitted by a unit of motor fuel or natural gas or coal, which represent the bulk of emissions.

Most companies outline what constitutes as support for organizations, especially ones like schools that have signed contracts with them for their offerings.

I know that consumers don't usually care about support for windows, as they just use random advice online to fix things, but technically if you were to talk to Microsoft for help and you are out of support, they will refuse to help you. Just like if you were to try to ask Apple for support on getting iOS 16 on your iPhone 5.

Unrelated, but windows update does use a supported device list, and they use it regularly for a variety of reasons one of them being to note when to release an update for users on X hardware. As they have multiple times for AMD processors. They also use it to prevent you from updating to a newer version of windows, and therefore ending your support window. Microsoft published lifecycle dates regularly so you can go check that out and see when you officially aren't supported anymore.
One-way travel also at least doubles effective range, which increases the targetable area by a the square.

For battery-powered craft, where there's no appreciable reduction in propellent mass over the course of the flight, this is a direct scaling. For fuel-based craft (which I'm surprised are not more heavily used), the fuel mass falls as it's consumed, such that the effective net mass is somewhat less than 1/2 the total launch fuel load (less fuel mass -> less lift and drag load).

In the extreme case, ballistic missiles consume virtually their entire fuel load early in the flight ("boost phase"). Cruise missiles / drones might fly to a higher altitude and glide to their targets. Even battery-powered drones might jettison their primary battery (retaining a small navigation power source) and glide to targets by first climbing to a high altitude.

Another option is solar-powered (or assisted) drones, which for small payloads (most especially surveillance, though directed weapons / shaped charges would be another option) could achieve long ranges, high loiter times, or both.
