In light of the Ichioku Gyokusai, I would've done the exact same thing. If it was overkill they would've surrendered after the first one.
It's grift, all the way down.
There is in fact an entire small meme culture of "five feet eleven and a half inches vs six feet" based on the absurdity of this, yes. you can probably get away with being 5'10 or especially 5'11 and lie to say 6' without issue unless you are in fact dating a taller than average woman. But if you get to the point of meetting up that probably won't matter.

You can only lie to some extent, though. hard to pass off 5'8 as 6'.
I've used mini pcs as desktop machines. I didn't need a lot of performance, and wanted a small form factor to not clutter the desk. Recent cores, expandable memory, good enough storage, gigE, wifi if you need it. Don't really need anything more than that, although I did replace them with MiniITX desktops, as I wanted a bit more performance at a certain point. MiniPCs work well for HTPCs, too.

If you shop well, a mini PC can be cheaper than you can build a desktop from parts, and probably cheaper than a laptop, too.

I did breifly mount one to the back of a monitor and bring it to my garage to run some ODB-II software with my car, as I didn't have a laptop that could do it, but that felt pretty silly. Otherwise, these things aren't hard to move, but I didn't move them.
It was absolutely not aberrant. No-one had clean hands and this should not surprise us. But people want simple stories of good vs evil and can't possibly bear to admit that their side did some war crimes too.
No. Don't screw with nature, it doesn't end well.
Those people are ridiculous. You can have high fps but inconsistent frame timing which makes games feel terrible. I think that was the bigger issue with cod.
> This person has an argument but confuses so many basic terms that it gets lost. Revenues are not profits and profits don't include expenses.

No. I think you might be confused.

I laid it out clearly. The basic profit has to do with the cost of an MD, PA, medical assistant and front office people interacting with the patient. In other words, the most basic labor cost layer. This is easier to quantify because you can count the minutes each person devotes to that patient.

The other costs are different. These are the business, office, insurance and other general operating costs that apply to the entire practice. In a back of the napkin calculation it is much easier to first subtract basic labor costs from the income per patient and then apply the other stuff in bulk.

I just tried to run through a ridiculously basic calculation to illustrate the point. That was not intended to be a accurate accounting report.

This is a complex multivariate problem. A simple example can't do anything but glace at the problem and, hopefully, inspire people to research and understand. ACA, Medicare, Medicaid and other aspects of our medical system have made things worse over time, not better. Having more people covered isn't equivalent to more people having access to good healthcare.

There are so many issues, for example, the fact that Medicare isn't insurance at all after 55, it's a loan! ACA shoved millions of people into Medicare. In a few years, we might start hearing of states seizing people's estates to pay for the money they owe under Medicare. It's crazy --absolutely insane-- that nobody talks about this and the media did not do their job and educate people as to the realities of this horrid system.

This argument is similar to ones criticizing pro-lifers for sometimes getting abortions. Nobody denies that, in moments of suffering, people might depart from their moral stances. Humans are weak. But shouldn’t your moral stances be determined when you are clear-eyed, and are thinking about society as a whole rather than your personal situation?

Your argument is couched in the same form as the argument: “Someone needs to find people who are in favor of criminal’s rights and follow up when their child gets raped or murdered.”
> Does it cost money to run? Yes. Does Google deserve to have those costs covered? Yes

Those are not the terms of the implicit (and somewhat explicit) deal Google/YT originally offered.

Any and every net pundit and idiot pointed out at the start that any video hosting system that became as successful as YT said it wanted to be (and has become) would cost a fortune to provide.

YT could have said from the start "once this scales beyond <small scale> we'll need to charge <X> because the only alternative to that are ads". But they never said that, they just gave us ads even if we didn't want them.
Last paragraph is very scary. US president holds a button that can destroy the world. Great responsibility! It must be an intelligent person of highest personal integrity!

NYT in 2014, (personal experience too). https://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/20/technology/personaltech/s... this advocates for one monitor https://hackernoon.com/why-i-stopped-using-multiple-monitors... the tl;dr is that mutiple screens mean more distractions, and some tasks are better with 2 monitors but the studies don't indicate it's universal.
It makes sense that the fact you are making a big deal of it while you didn’t get to say anything about apple macos since it was never open source in the first place.
Totally agree this is the real problem.

Where do creators go if not YouTube!? Ideally they could self host videos which could be expensive AND not bring any revenue, neither do they are they discoverable - this is where the internet is broken these days.

And maybe this is where micro transactions would have a proper use case, i.e. if you had a browser extension where you add $5 and then you can dish out 1ct or 10ct for some content...
Nintendo died? Who's making these nice, popular hybrid portable/docked consoles then that I see all around my friends' living rooms and on public transit?
It had never really occurred to me before writing that comment. Now I think it's really curious that not only there is that stark difference, but also that it's common across all programming languages (I'm not counting Excel, sorry) I'm aware of.

It might be tempting to think it's procedural vs declarative, but it's not really, you could procedurally evaluate that y should now be maintained to have such value. Admittedly you can't really do it any other way on declarative terms. But what allows you to do computation like that? Datalog maybe?

I'm ignoring Matlab/Octave/etc. because I'm not that familiar and of course (I assume) they work more like math. What's interesting is that everything else seems to do it differently; I'm not sure why or how that happened. Is it as simple as an early limitation (in terms of early computation and compilers) that stuck?
Well, they will need to major in something--assuming they want to get a degree. It's not clear that hiring (and pay) in other engineering fields is necessarily a whole lot better, even today. And, while I don't think there's anything especially wrong with majoring in English or history, it's also not necessarily a better path if you can handle and at least somewhat enjoy CS.
This line of argument always seems weird to me. The Imperial Japanese Army was made up of conscripted _civilians_. Fathers, sons, brothers, uncles; ordinary folk from all walks of life were conscripted into the IJA and given training and sent off to invade other parts of Asia, where they committed various atrocities on a par with the Nazis. Civilians did do that.

As for why, IMO the strong militarism that was part of their culture in that era is probably a large part of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_militarism
I am curious if there are any decent and very affordable regular KVMs (to use locally, not over IP).

The cheapest one I found for a three monitor DP setup was ~$500 (Star Tech).

Maybe the tablets are too difficult.
Yes, thanks a lot.
Reminds me of Huberman.

Neither Hamas or Israel are correct in their aggression. I urge you to read about the formation of Israel and ask yourself what value colonialism has in the modern age.

Strange that favoring peaceful civilians, of any ethnicity btw, means hatred. People are so binary in their thought that they assume only two sides exist.
> First it was Jordan Peterson, then it i was Eric Weinstein, then Chamath, the list goes on. Most recently, it’s been Peter Zeihan.

These are not intellectuals, let alone public ones. They are all American and follow a 'clickbait' model to public discourse. Seems like you repeatedly fall for it and enjoy doing so. Nothing here reflects any form of intellect.
I remember modding osx Yosemite to run the swap in the ram when I had an SSD since I was so worried about it, not sure if it still does this but with the infrequently of negative problems and the fact that one of my friends used a 2gb MacBook air 2009 until 2017 made me realize it probably doesn't matter.
> Why do you include your undergraduate degree as part of your medical training?

Was the comment edited after you posted this? Because I don't see them saying this was part of their training at all. They wrote "12 years of school and training", and this is the school part.
Ignore. Reposted this under correct parent comment
I don't really see why Intel's opinion on this matters much.

The requirements for this are price and power efficiency, not any of the features that Intel likes to class as "server CPUs" (eg the remote management features). The only downside is the lack of ECC memory, but some Celerons support that, eg[1]. It's true this one doesn't but that seems the only downside.

I found that Dolphin uses OS sleeping to run the emulation roughly in sync with wall-clock time, and use a dynamic-rate audio resampler to output sound with a bit of added latency. This has the complication that frame delivery is no longer synchronized with monitor refresh, and requires VRR displays (unlike an actual Wii) for low-latency output. I had a draft PR to loosely couple the sleeps with "frame queuing delay", but it didn't get merged.

In the case of writing an audio synth, I think the usual approach is to "hurry to sleep", but synchronized with the audio device/OS mixer's 2-3 audio buffer periods/pages (rather than visual frames), and asynchronously update the UI. Are you planning to use wall-clock time, or the audio sample clock, as the source of truth for timing?
true. But the issue here is that if men start stating physical preferences for women they are seen as sleazy at best. This isn't an equal playing field socially, even if the sentiment of "no one is owed a relationship" is a technically correct one.

And it applies even to your metaphor. Man or woman, if you explicitly say "no blacks" you are going to be eviscerated. Even if older OkCupid profiles did in fact show that african americans, both male and female, had fewer matches there.

> And no, I won't pay for YouTube Premium — because that wasn't part of the deal either.

There's also the ridiculous fact it is literally impossible to pay to remove the ads without also getting the horrible Youtube Music service.
They're not eligible conditions. And yet of course when you have a law like this, some cases will slip through the cracks due to the slippery slope nature of the thing. They're not a high percentage but there are many anecdotes. Here is an AP article from the middle of last year:

https://apnews.com/article/covid-science-health-toronto-7c63...

"Equally troubling, advocates say, are instances in which people have sought to be killed because they weren’t getting adequate government support to live."

What is eligible is pretty broad according to the article. "The law was later amended to allow people who are not terminally ill to choose death, significantly broadening the number of eligible people. Critics say that change removed a key safeguard aimed at protecting people with potentially years or decades of life left.

Today, any adult with a serious illness, disease or disability can seek help in dying."

There are many shocking anecdotes in that article, including the one it opens with. They don't all speak to "loneliness" or "money" but when I first read it last year I found it pretty shocking. Maybe you won't, but I think it's worth a read. Especially troubling to me are all of the disability advocates who disagree with the law:

"Landry said she shares the “grave concern” voiced last year by three U.N. human rights experts, who wrote that Canada’s euthanasia law appeared to violate the agency’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights. They said the law had a “discriminatory impact” on disabled people and was inconsistent with Canada’s obligations to uphold international human rights standards.

Tim Stainton, director of the Canadian Institute for Inclusion and Citizenship at the University of British Columbia, described Canada’s law as “probably the biggest existential threat to disabled people since the Nazis’ program in Germany in the 1930s.”"
Demographics shows populations decreasing in mass anytime people urbanize as children become expensive instead of a necessity like on the farm. This is happening all over Europe, China, Japan, South Korea...etc. People are still having sex, but using protection and other means to not have babies.

Africa will eventually urbanize as well and as infant mortality goes down will be in the same boat as everywhere else. Religion will thwart this in some places (perhaps temporarily or maybe permanently).
Well yeah. That's the ultimate friction.

I don't know how common it is but I got rid of a (second) car a few years back that I wouldn't have trusted for a several hundred mile road trip into the mountains--and I could, if push came to shove, have paid for a long transport from the side of the road. But it could have been a real pain.

As it was I just drove it locally but I wasn't doing that enough to justify the cost given lack of commute even before pandemic.
The point of starting with physical intuition isn't to give students a crutch to rely on, it's to give them a sense of how to develop mathematical concepts themselves. They need to understand why we introduce the language of vector spaces at all - why these axioms, rather than some other set of equally arbitrary ones.

This is often called "motivation", but motivation shouldn't be given to provide students with a reason to care about the material - rather the point is to give them an understanding of why the material is developed in the way that it is.

To give a basic example, high school students struggle with concepts like the dot and cross products, because while it's easy to define them, and manipulate symbols using them, it's hard to truly understand why we use these concepts and not some other, e.g. the vector product of individual components a_1 * b_1 + a_2 * b_2 ...

While it is a useful skill to be adroit at symbol manipulation, students also need an intuition for deciding which way to talk about an unfamiliar or new concept, and this is an area in which I've found much of mathematics (and physics) education lacking.
> if they stay for 2 years

If it were "if you decide to stay for 2 years" bonus, I don't think there'd be an issue

The issue is that it's really a "if we decide to keep you longer than 2 years" bonus, improperly named a "signing bonus."

It is paired with a real "bonus" or perk of sorts, but it's just a weird 2 year 0% APR loan that must be repaid in full at the end of the term, which works out to maybe $10k in risk free returns.
Would they do worse?
Terry’s book is good, but it’s tedious and wordy. It takes a lot of pages to get anywhere interesting.
I have never heard the power law/normal distribution claim on social media and almost never anywhere else either. Do you have some links?

I don't know about solid research. The last time I was looking up research about this was around 15 years ago, when I was actually planning to publish a paper about the finding above.

I had some data about a series of speed-dating events. Men gave double the amount of +'s (if both give a +, then it is a match) as compared to women, and the distributions were what I claim above.

Then there was the OkCupid article and some other research articles on dating sites (no apps at that time) and speed-dating events. I don't remember any research mentioning the different distributions although it was obvious from the graphs on the research papers that all of these followed the same distributions.

I think one of the reasons why there is so little research is that there is some taboo around this subject. For example the OkCupid article mentioned was pulled off. I don't know what the taboo is. Perhaps these results hint too much about differences between sexes or our evoluationary past?
This, betterexplained, ritvikmath, SeeingTheory will give you a very solid math background(I think they are better than 90% of the intro math classes in colleges).
Agreed. Reading the GP’s comment it feels like it’s from bizzaro world. It’s the computer scientists who have been claiming that neural networks resemble the human brain - they even fucking named them neural networks for christ’s sake! That could be excused as naive hubris in the 1980s, it’s utter delusion now.

A surface review of neuroplasticity literature alone should free anyone of the illusion that “neural networks” have even a passing resemblance to biological neurons, something covered in neuroscience 101 and is widely internalized by its practitioners. The BS grant writing and PR scientists have to participate in is hardly reflect of state of the art science itself.

The irony is that machine learning methods are a perfect fit for neuroscience and biology in general which generates reams of data that is largely so multidimensional that manual analysis is intractable. What we’re seeing now is the crest of the academic hype cycle which - if the history of bioinformatics is anything to go by - means that ML will take years if not decades for the field to understand and filly utilize.
So, life saving medications should be illegal by that logic too?
Looking back jquery was probably the only frontend framework that wasn't obsolete in 18 months. There is also value in keeping things the same over a decade or more so the old farts can still be productive without having to relearn everything every couple of years.
One thing this doesn't touch on is that there are multiple meaningful definitions of pi-like constants for the p-norm unit circle that don't necessarily agree with each other in p != 2. Defining pi as the area of the unit circle gives an entirely different set of values that satisfying some wonderful properties - in particular, that definition of pi turns out to be the periodicity constant for a (arguably) natural set of trigonometric functions for the p-circle. Furthermore, pi(p) = 2 Beta(1/p,1/p)/p...

However, this (circumference/arc-length based) definition of pi does have a fascinating property for conjugate p,q: pi(p) = pi(q)

"Squigonometry: The Study of Imperfect Circles" is a very fun reference for this sort of stuff.

Dr. Alex Wellerstein has a lot of great writing on this subject on his blog and on the /r/askhistorians subreddit under the username 'restricteddata'.

The way I see the field these days is a lot of hovering around a "middle" position on the bombs, as opposed to the extreme "ends" of the spectrum ("totally justified, best decision ever" vs. "terrible war crime done just to look tough"). The authors you are quoting, like Zinn (and Kuznik, who is also quoted by another response), are I think pretty anomalous in that they still stake out a hard, confident position on one end of the spectrum. (There are a few who stake out the other end, too.) The "middle" position, what the historian J. Samuel Walker calls "the consensus view", basically says that the bombs were seen as a perfectly fine, if not a little unusual, military decision, that they might not have been solely responsible for the surrender of Japan, and that the use of the bombs in the way they were used (on cities, little spacing, early August) was a mixture of vaguely strategic thinking (no "grand plan" on anyone's part, but people did have some ideas about what you might get out of doing it that way) and complete happenstance (the spacing between the bombs, and the fact that they had two ready to go in early August, depended on external factors that had nothing to do with real strategy).

https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/3zuffw/some_... has a detailed discussion of the issue.
Yet they're not advocating for living with roommates, they're pushing a binding institution with legal and social consequences. Because they don't care about peoples' health at all, they care about pushing narratives of marriage being good.
I've known 3 people of my grandparents' generation to survive over a decade after their dementia had progressed to the point that they couldn't recognize their children, their spouse, etc., and life was a confusing, terrifying existence without being medicated into further oblivion. They were all highly religious and would not have considered MAID when they were lucid enough to do so. Folks of my parents' generation have seen enough similar cases, they don't want to put their children through that. So yes, I do believe the rate of MAID will continue to grow as the Silent Generation dies out and Boomers enter their twilight years.
Probably do-able using Pipewire/Pulseaudio.

I just tried, and I'm able to pair both my Macbook Pro and iPhone to my Linux desktop PC. The PC has Kensington Bluetooth USB dongle. Both the MBP and iPhone can simultaneously play audio over Bluetooth and I can route the incoming audio to a pair of wired headphones. The volume of each stream is independently adjustable via `pavucontrol`.

I also tried pairing a bluetooth headset, but the audio was choppy. Maybe too much bandwidth for 3 devices streaming audio at once? Maybe another dongle would work?

Note that at one point I was experimenting with receiving BT audio on my PC. I can't remember the exact set of configuration changes needed to make this work (if any -- it might've worked out of the box). But the stack is BlueZ + Pipewire on Archlinux.

Pipewire (and Pulse) have a lot of modules and config knobs. Might be possible to get auto-switch working too. They also expose a D-Bus interface, so control from some sort of e.g. Python webapp from your phone is likely.
I agree with this after a short while I turned off the romanization in many learning apps as it just messes with/undermines your actual learning.

What makes me really sad is that Google doesn't just not offer a "Music-less Youtube Premium" (due to a lack of attention or whatever) – no: They used to offer that product in some markets and have actively discontinued it.
