I can't blame them picking what they picked for Gunma but I always think of Initial D when I think about Gunma in anime.

Although considering the Gunma pick, I'm surprised they slept on Zombie Land Saga for Saga.
The federal government is incapable of efficiently allocating resources at scale, it's just the reality. Take a look at the defense industry. I have a friend who worked for a 3 letter agency, left and joined a private contractor and was assigned to the same team and project again but at 2x the pay. In practice the actual cost to the government is likely 3x factoring in the profits the contractor makes. Government pay scales also make it so that it makes no sense to work for the government if you're in a high demand / high pay field. That means the government tends to get the bottom of the barrel talent & then they end up massively overpaying for "butts-in-seats" contractors who do the same exact job at a way higher cost.

That's why we have things like the FCC, FAA and DoD who oversee things like telecommunications and rocket launches hopefully without putting too much of a damper on innovation and progress while also protecting lives.
Prednisone helped me. I'm diabetic now so when it flares up i take more insulin. I don't know if that counts as permanent but it helps. The other thing is I stopped using ear buds. Only over ear headphones. Also I have a small quiet fan running.
> Magazines are mostly short form, cheap content (excluding periodical literary magazines, indie 'zines, etc.)

I'd disagree on this. If you compare magazine news reporting with newspaper reporting, the magazine is usually deeper, more capable of investigation and fact-checking. Ofc, this can be contested magazine to magazine but it's a general trend that magazine stories take more time to write (1-2 weeks to several months) than a newspaper story (1 day to 1 week max).

But the main reason I disagree is that magazine content is far from what I'd call cheap. Pick up an old magazine, like LIFE or even TIME or PCGamer from a decade or three ago, and it's like a page out of the past. It captures reality in a way books cannot, because of the ads, photos, reader letters and so on.

I love old magazines and they're some of the most priceless things I carry from my past. This includes a stack of Nat Geo from the 90s. Heavy as hell, but survived multiple house moves. That's a moment of nature, several hundred per issue, from a period long gone. How much of those moments are impossible to snap today, one could ask.

> In short: It's very difficult to replicate the experience of a book using technology (somehow books have survived the rise of e-readers), but social media optimized magazines down to their most fundamental elements

Totally agreed. Though I think what made a magazine special doesn't necessarily translate when you turn it into just another piece of content on the internet. A NewYorkPost and an Atlantic article occupy probably the same amount of space and attention time of a typical reader, though both have vastly different qualities of information
This is weirdly true. One of the reasons that I've stuck to doing a lot of my (semi-pro) photography work on film, even when the quality on digital got 'good enough' for me is that you shoot it, and you're largely done. Most of your planning and decisions are locked in when you shoot and...I kinda like that.

There are in fact 2 rebuttals here, one being the econ 101 answer: If I find out that a large company is gobbling up homes for any price I set on them, then I might as well build way more homes in that area because I've got a guaranteed buyer.

That argument can still be overruled in the short term by pointing at the current zoning laws of many countries worldwide, and the second rebuttal is more interesting anyway: Who said anything about a 'reasonable' price?

The proportionality constant between the tax levied and the listed sales price of the home is a precise instrument. We could just as easily set it to 0.1% per annum, so that people who list their homes for $1m/year still only pay $1000/year in tax and likely never see a serious purchaser, as we could set it to 10% per annum, where a $1m/year house accrues a whopping $100,000/year in Harberger taxes, which leads to people lowering the listed price, WLT many more sales and purchases, WLT considerably more housing liquidity. You could use either tactic to put the squeeze on bad actors, depending on your goals.

"A space or half-high dot is used to signify the multiplication of units."

The mugger is a deontologist, right? We're already assuming that he'll keep his promises.
But then they need to be confronted with the truth. Jews lived there too and they even bought large amounts of it. They also were persecuted and driven away in most of the Arab world. Look at a map of Isreal and the many Arab countries from that time. The tiny spec of Israel is responsible for the expulsions in that area? Of course the overall behavior doesn't justify any other instance, but it really doesn't sound too convincing.

This is a lie that too many, even supposedly educated westenerns, from expensive universities seem to start to believe. Israel isn't free from flaws but doesn't need to hide at all.
The authors have done the work for me? Hmmm. I don't think that's how it works. In order for me to evaluate any particular paper, I have to read it myself and evaluate it myself. I have to identify implicit premises, I have to ask, did they follow the scientific method? Does their data make sense? Are they missing alternative explanations? Does their conclusion match their initial hypothesis and/or their data? And many other questions. No one can do that for me. And as I said in another comment, there are too many corrupt incentives to produce predetermined outcomes.
Thanks for providing the links, I expect that they will be enlightening, in one way or another.
Please let me know how you determine the validity of scientific paper.

> Consumers do not know the amp-hour capacity of coin cells or AAA batteries. They don't know and they don't care. Consumers put a coin cell into an AirTag and come back a year later to replace it when their iPhone tells them to.

Then why label batteries with a capacity at all, if consumers don't care so much?

They care when they're buying batteries and they have a choice of different ones to buy.

> It is not more convenient, since consumers do not think about <1Ah values, virtually ever.

Even if that were true, it doesn't justify changing the customary unit.

> And I repeat: We could represent all distances in millimeters just in case, but we don't.

> LA is only 4506163000 millimeters from NYC. Very convenient.

And people could report their height in meters, yet they frequently use centimeters.

Among other things, we don't use millimeters for long distances because 10-digit numbers tend to be an awkward number of digits to work with, but 4 or 5 digits are still pretty easy and natural to work with. I wonder how many digits the LA to NYC distance is in kilometers? Well, wouldn't you know it, it's 4.

Anyway, this conversation isn't going anywhere. Batteries will continue to be labeled in mAh, even if you have a strong personal opinion that everyone else is using the wrong prefix thousands of companies and millions of people just need to switch to Ah now.

It’s obviously expensive, but it’s not a totally absurd price for an entry-level car from a luxury brand. I mean a boring BMW X5 SUV is $66k. A Lexus LS sedan is $77k.
I had it for years. It went away. My best guess is it was caused by medication.

It didn't go away suddenly. We had moved, and I went 6 months without getting a new Dr so I wasn't taking any prescriptions. It never came back (15 years), so if it was medication it was a different blood pressure medication than I take now or an antidepressant which I never went back on.

Hell yeah brother. Move fast and break things philosophy
That's not exactly what I want to say. What I am saying is that voters do not know what they are doing. At a glance that might suggest that they are the problem, but only if you think "knowing what they are doing" is a low bar that voters fail to clear. I disagree. The bar is very high. And that's the real problem.

Look, choosing a party requires you to figure out which economic policies best spur economic growth, which ones might make the climate crisis worse, what the long term consequences of increased immigration might be, and so on, and so forth. On your time. Through the distorting lens of media. Of course the average voter can't make heads or tails of this stuff. It's not their fault. Even if they could, they wouldn't have time because they work all day.

So the best strategy the voter has is not to understand the issues, but to delegate their choice to someone they trust who ostensibly knows the issues. That's media, scientists, influencers, church leaders, etc. Regardless of the voting system, the public opinion will be modulated by the landscape of influencers they trust. If that landscape is broken, the votes will go in the wrong direction regardless of how many choices there are, I'm afraid.
The mugger in the story is essentially contriving a situation that turns him into a utility monster. He is arranging that he will derive more benefit from the money than any other plausible application -- by imposing a massive harm on himself if he doesn't get the money. It's relatively straightforward to vary the threat to adjust incentives as necessary -- e.g. the binding deal with the thug later in the story.

Unlike previous hype cycles, the potential value of this one is extraordinary if it’s actually unlocked (I mean, what was the theoretical upper limit on the benefit of cryptocurrency for the world? Probably not that much.) Previous attempts at AI/AGI have been constrained by computational resources. It’s quite possible that we already have sufficient computational power and the necessary data for AGI—all we need are the right algorithms.

Even if for some bizarre reason we’ve already tapped the maximum potential of transformer architectures and all of this money goes nowhere, compared to all the other ways that society wastes money, I would be fine with calling this a big bet for humanity that didn’t pay off. It doesn’t mean that it wasn’t worth the attempt though.
Keycloak isn't very nice to work with in short. It's still not very cloud native and is just a big chunk of software that implements god and the world even if you don't need it to. It's weird to customize as well (thinking of theming and the SPIs).

Principles of Statistics by M.G. Bulmer is a nice introduction to the mathematical side of things. It's part of Dover's classic textbook series, so it's inexpensive compared to newer textbooks, and also concise and well-written.

It does assume you already have a solid understanding of calculus and combinatorics, though. Which I think is fair. Discrete statistics is arguably just applied combinatorics, and continuous statistics applied calculus, so if you have a strong foundation in those two subjects then you're already 90% of the way there. (And, if you don't, stop the cart and let the horse catch up.)
I hadn't heard about the mind state thing until I went onto Wikipedia just now, but I've known I was allergic to Yellow #5 since early childhood. It brings on rapid asthma type symptoms. Also discovered around Halloween time when I ate a large number of orange cookies from the grocery store, that I'll break out in hives all over my body if I ingest enough of the stuff. Have made a point not to do that again.
> but honestly... who cares? Words are just tools to communicate ideas

That's the problem. If definitions constantly shift, then the signal-to-noise ration is much higher. It means that we no longer have an efficient way of conveying meaning. In engineering and science, terminology has to have very specific meanings, or the words become unusable for reasoning.

The idea that "pffft... whatever... words... am-I-right?" seems to come from the angle of post-facto justification of using incorrect terminology, or as a mechanism for gas-lighting people into believing something that has little foundation in the real world. This is something advertisers and politicians are constantly striving to do. I really hate that this has leaked into technology discussions, but here we are.
What user data are you referring to?

One problem with comparing to social login providers is that their OAuth2 APIs tend to provide a lot more access than just OIDC, which greatly increases the risk of phishing and other attacks. Since a simple OIDC server like obligator only deals with identity, the worst case scenario of a phishing attack is that the user's email address is exposed to the attacker.

You can think of obligator as a server that responds to client app requests with a response of "I have verified that the user running this OIDC session has control of X email address as of Y time".
No, I mean the word USER in a statement like below

CREATE USER user_name

> The "cut" you're getting is dwelling in a building where you own near zero liability for its upkeep

No, the liability is rent. I'd happily take upkeep just to avoid a parasitic middleman that adds no value. People generally don't rent because they don't want to buy; they rent because banks withhold the mortgages necessary to own even though renting is a higher monthly commitment.
What is the Wh of a "12V" 1000 AH car battery with internal resistance of 20 milli-ohm?

Try that for starter engines that draw 50A, 100A or 200A

One may think that at 100A, the starter engine will be able to consume 1200W

However, if you pull 100A, the internal voltage used to overcome the internal resistance is 2V, so you really only generate 1000W, or 5/6 of the raw energy stored in the battery.

At 50A, the voltage loss is only 1V, so the start engine gets 550W, or 11/12 of the energy tapped from the battery.

Finally, at 200A, the voltage loss is 4V, meaning that the starter engine only gets 1600W, or 2/3 of the energy stored in the battery.

And this is under relatively good conditions. If the battery is freezing cold, the internal resistance can become much higher.

In all cases, the internal resistance leads to heat inside the battery.

Hopefully, it should be clear that for low resistance / high wattage loads, the Wh metric is not very accurate.

This is a terrible idea.

The biggest problem I see with the current system is that a small number of authors venue shop by repeatedly submitting the same paper without changes.

Allowing submissions to happen in parallel will benefit that group of bad actors to the detriment to pretty much everyone else.

Also, all submitting in parallel will do is increase the number of erroneously accepted submissions. For one thing, typical reviewers review for multiple conferences, so you'd just be sending the same manuscript to the same person multiple times. Also, most related conferences have a fairly similar bar.

In fact, most papers have pretty good alignment on reviews. Reviewers typically can't see each other's reviews or discuss the paper before submitting their review, so these are mostly independent samples. There are papers that have bimodal scores, but it's rare, and usually due to low confidence reviews or the very occasional controversial paper.

It is often detected when people just ignore previous reviews, and resubmit without revision. Typically, one reviewer will overlap between the two conferences and notice the resubmission. If the paper hasn't changed, that's an easy reject, even if the person wasn't assigned to review it. Allowing parallel submissions would normalize this class of denial of service attack against reviewers.

Also, far more often, the previous reviewer will take a look, and say that the authors did a good job addressing the previous group's concerns. Of course, that can't happen if the paper is submitted in parallel. Allowing parallel submissions would put people that actually improve their work between submissions at an unfair disadvantage.

I've been walking every day between 6-10 miles depending on weather for the last 3 months and I have gotten very good at walking, running, and sprinting. I am starting to do some basic agility training like parkour as well. I'll probably stop doing this every day in a month or so but it has helped me develop a good sense about the biomechanics of walking and greatly improved my cardiovascular health.

For anyone else that tries this I recommend starting small and then gradually working your way up. I got a bad injury early on from doing too many miles too early. If you don't consistently do cardiovascular exercise then walking a mile or two every few days is a good way to develop the habit.

Companies with massive valuations that have no product to sell or aren't making any profit. This is what I've heard anyway (not a stock guy). Some economic schools of thought say that when interest rates are low and money is practically free (historically speaking), you get a lot of bad/risky ideas (boom & bubble) and an inevitable correction of a bust. The bust is accelerated when all of a sudden you have to rise the interest rates to fight inflation and the money is no longer easy to get. All those companies being held afloat by the free money start collapsing.

Again, we should make statements on data and I'll just be upfront that I haven't done much research in this area, but considering the sheer amount of AI startups and jobs and conferences and so on with very few transformative products...I would eventually expect a market correction in the form of another AI winter like what happened in the 80s when all the massive government acts defense research dollars dried up. The difference is it'll be far less severe. You'll still have plenty of AI research at the universities and large companies, but maybe not hundreds of questionable startups. This is all just conjecture on my part though.
Personally, I'm wondering whether this will lead to an old style OTA TV adblocking scheme, where the adblocker "watches" the video for you, ads and all, and then clips out the ads and you watch the cleaned-up video later. Of course if they can make that client attestation thing stick, then the cleaner-upper would be denied service.
Firstly the time variance we're talking about is small and will only matter when milliseconds matter, secondly I addressed this - for scientific measures and scenarios where milliseconds matter a different time unit should be used.

If you want to prioritise ease of moving between the two systems, I'd suggest a normalised version of the new second. If you want to prioritise science, then something that makes a nice round number when giving the speed of light would be nice. If you want to prioritise ease of adoption, just keep the current SI second, just stop using it to measure times of day.

Either way the symbol for writing it should be different.

My understanding is that it started life as a fork(note: by same author) of openbsd's httpd. The author wanted to add reverse proxy capability to httpd and decided that the problem domain was complex enough that it would hurt httpd's simplicity and warranted it's own program.

So it's heart is a reverse http proxy. generalized to be a generic application layer proxy. and then integrated with the pf firewall to be a ip layer forwarder. note the distinction in the manual between redirections(ip forwarder) and relays(application proxy)

According to the manual it has application specific relays for http and dns. for other than that you have to use the generic tcp relay. if you are redirecting, it does not look at the internals of the packet at all.
