the public needs something on par with Administrative Law Judges (ALJs)

(for the uninitiated, many state corporations and agencies have judges on staff and inhouse that can hear an agency’s case the same day, getting emergency injunctions done at a moment’s notice.)

it would be cool if this was like a perk with unions or something that wouldnt get too bogged down by the general public immediately, but for the general public.
Why not season 6 or 7? Season 8 is the one that fell off the cliff. Episode S6.E9 is one of the best in all of television history.
I'll add that intermittent fasting (16/8) has also conditioned my brain (and stomach likely) to eat less during the non-fasting window. In 6 months I'm down 20 pounds (198 to 178), I've also removed alcohol consumption except for in-person social events. My main concerns with 16/8 are:
1. I drink coffee in the morning, it helps with hunger, but im also wondering if this will have long-term affect to my stomach
2. I'm losing weight, but I'm wondering what to do to stop losing it, I'll soon reach a healthy level.
3. It gets annoying being told 'you shouldnt skip the most important meal of the day' by people all the time.
What income level would you say is upper class?
The scenario you're describing is already the status quo.
Thanks, that's faster than I realized.
Same. I try to rent exclusively on the top-floor (next to impossible in a big city) because of a memorable experience I had with a an overweight upstairs neighbor who favored jumping jacks as his primary form of exercise.
I'm getting all this from a Patrick Boyle video [1], but it doesn't appear that SoftBank did anything even approaching "due diligence" when handing out tons of money to WeWork; the way Boyle describes it, it almost seems like the SoftBank president was having something akin to a manic episode but it's tough to tell without context.

Honestly -- not really! Several people encouraged me to go to a specialist or PT but I was stubborn so I never got a diagnosis (my GP was clueless).

My self-diagnosis was some kind of muscle and/or tendon strain in my psoas / hip flexors. I squat very wide and deep so it wasn't a huge shock.

Net result was I couldn't squat properly for 4-6 weeks. I've added "prehab" stretches and it's mostly managed now, although if I go too crazy with volume I can feel it flare up.
I read through the CLANG code back in the early days of its existence and found it to be quite elegant in its structure.

devilish, I once came across where someone had accidentally written a FSM that used http redirects as the transitions between nodes. All to animate a progress bar for a job queue. It was so ridiculous it honestly took me longer than I care to admit to understand what I was seeing, who the hell expects to see that?

OTOH, we have a codebase at my current employer that opens up a TCP socket to a service and passes pipe delimited strings. And you know what? I give the thumbs up to that. Why? The service it's communicating with is an old C++ service that was written around the time that XML started coming onto the scene. That's how you did things back then and it works perfectly fine, albeit it's probably not the most familiar to younger developers.
Especially given that anyone can be an author.
5-over-1, 5-over-2, 4-over-1, and 3-over-1 are all often used terminology and they're referring to the number of floors in a podium-constructed building, not different sections of IBC. All of these podium construction styles are a product of section 510.2 of the IBC which allows for these to be treated as two separate buildings for fire purposes.

> I tend to not like stoicism and similar ideologies that have a component of "suffering is noble."

Do you have a reference for this? This is the first time I’ve heard of the idea.
> You will *profit more* from good soft skills than from good technical skills

The rest of the truths I'm more or less okay with. But this one, no: in large orgs, people with good "soft skills" will profit more *to the detriment of the projects*.
I lived in the Leith colonies for twenty years, and while I never heard my neighbours from above, or the sides, I would always hear people running up and down the stairwell, and the maindoor slamming shut.

No, this is a person who tried to arrange a murder of their own volition. They were aware that’s illegal and took (idiotic) steps to hide that fact.

There are definitely incidents where law enforcement led people into committing crimes they wouldn’t otherwise have, and this ain’t one of those.
Oh my Hassio has no open ports to the internet, but I sleep better knowing no one can open my garage from another country.
I was never under the impression that there were any trials specifically about transmission.

I can believe some people said or published articles saying that it would reduce transmission, I'm not sure they'd all claim it was from evidence that it did, as opposed to just inference that it would.

I'm interested where you feel you were led to believe it would?

I also find the word "truth" in your sentence a bit confusing, do you mean that you actually read from "official" publications that trials about transmissions had been conducted even when they hadn't? Or do you just feel like there were claims of reducing transmission made, and you later realized their rationale didn't even include trials specific to transmission?

I feel this is important. Because someone could have claimed it will reduce transmission, and based their reasoning on how pior vaccines typically have that effect, or how logically if it prevents infection or major infection, it should lower re-transmission. Or other rationales.

This wouldn't really be a lie, even though it could turned out to be wrong.
Should we expect more useful websites in the next 10 years? Should we expect them to rot and need replacement in the decade after that? Should the Fed add "make the Internet a nice place" as a fourth mission?
Side question:

Is your pricing in line with the norms in this sector?
It seems really cheap to me.
I guess if your definition of monopoly is just "has basically all the marketshare," you're right. But there are a lot of verticals they've monopolized within the population of phone users, and it makes people feel as though they have a monopoly (and they kind of do because those users don't feel like they have a viable alternative option).

Their US market share is >50% now and most people who can afford it are using iPhone. If you have enough friends who can afford iPhones, chances are most of your friends are using iPhones. This is enough to produce a network effect that is also now a weird exclusivity effect further dividing haves and have-nots (e.g. happening in US schools between kids from different social strata).
> your work will be so compelling your mind will keep working on it after hours

Do you think for most people, fixing little bugs is very compelling, or do you think it could be that people are stressed and don't want to get fired.
I believed that "more effective at loosing weight" would be self-evident in that context.
> MS lost (or rather, made essentially zero head way in) everything except desktop computers.

Microsoft's booming business numbers would like to have a discussion.

$26 billion in quarterly operating income, about to overtake Apple in profit, and practically none of their growth over the past decade has come from desktop computers.

They have an extremely lucrative business across cloud everything these days and it has very little to do with Windows on the desktop.

Over the past decade that Windows desktop has largely been stagnant as a business, their total sales have gone from $78 billion to $218 billion. Operating income was stuck for 6-7 years in the ~$14-$22 billion range (the later Ballmer stagnation years), until after 2015. They'll cross $100+ billion in operating income over the next four quarters. All of that leap has happened from 2016 to now and basically none of it has to do with consumer Windows.
Haha yes, webpack breaking or a test failing is equivalent to having a heart attack or a meteor hitting your kitchen.
It’s possible to minimize the loss by consuming large amounts of protein, but some amount of it will be converted to glucose unfortunately. The difference is very drastic, you can preserve a lot of muscle mass by doing proper diet vs IF. It all adds up when you so it for 6 months.
The idea that Ayn Rand is a philosopher in any meaningful sense is very debatable.

She was an author of fiction, like Terry Pratchett. Lots of people draw philosophical inspiration from Pratchett, but that doesn't make him a philosopher.

Sorry to burst some bubble here, but most of the philosophical content of her writings is just rehashed Nietzsche, sometimes near-verbatim. All the while she claimed, she never read any philosopher but Aristotle. For anyone who has read Nietzsche and then opens a Rand book, this is laughable.
If that really happens you can factory reset a garage door opener which will unpair all existing remotes.

Re-keying the front door is arguably a bigger pain in the ass, and many Airbnbs just lend you the front door keys.
This really depends on the build.

I have lived/stayed in places in the middle of dense urban areas where you essentially never hear anything (occasionally sirens if the windows are open, that sort of thing), and others where you can tell when your neighbor is stirring tea.

One of the factors is cost, yes, but also age of the building and materials/techniques matter. I suppose it also matters if any of your neighbors are 23 and like powerful stereos - but that holds pretty much anywhere that isn't very rural.

Oh, and in dense urban/busy areas, height matters too. Living on the first 5 floors is far different than say 15+, in terms of how much street noise etc. you will hear with an open window (or even without).
The parent comment only claimed that the ads were deceptive (which they are), not that they are deceptive __like Google's__. That is entirely a straw man which you added to conveniently knock down.

Wikipedia ads are frequently phrased in a way to suggest that the funds are vital for keeping the site up when in reality, the majority of the funding goes to various social "justice" orgs.

It does a bunch of really useful things, though.

It improves general camera performance by having an accurate depth scan. Things like portrait mode and object recognition benefit.

The Measure app is quietly one of the most amazing apps in existence. You can get an accurate measurement of anything anytime! The lidar sensor makes it far more accurate and less finnicky than on the non-Pro phones.

Obviously on its own it’s not worth an upgrade but it’s a great sensor to have on a phone.
AI to Interpret Your Mind
Of course it's true. Most of congress doesn't even have security clearance to know what exactly the NSA is doing, and the ones that do technically have the clearance can really only questions things they are already aware of - there is no onus on the NSA to report anything themselves. Just look at the response by congress and the whitehouse to the Snowden leaks - they all claimed to be completely unaware of what was going on. If you actually read Snowden's book and leaks you will see very clearly that the NSA can launch a program that is classified from congress, that they literally do not need to report on to anyone including the president.

> my own reservations against using "robust" as a descriptor

I thought for a few minutes about what word to use there. Perhaps "direct" on its own would have been better; but I wanted connotations of "assertive" and "strong".

I used to participate in certain political mailing lists that had a much higher proportion of women participants than, say, Usenet (and I knew many of the participants in these lists IRL). My experience was that it was predominantly women that objected to the style of discussion that inline replies often led to. Inline replies being the Usenet norm, perhaps that explains why Usenet was such a male-dominated environment.

FWIW, I don't think it's misogynistic to say that on the whole, women have different attitudes from men, or behave differently. To what extent that's the effect of hormones or socialization, I don't care to speculate.

I gradually came round to the view that the objectors had a point, and I toned down my use of inline replies a lot.

This bothers me a lot.

What humans consider food has changed more in the last 100 years than it did in the preceding 10,000. Eat what your great-great grandmother would consider food, not what a scientist in a lab is trying to sell you as food.
I like that they're up front about it. They also didn't pollute their own content with indistinguishable ads.

Also I've been using adblocks for so long, the only ads I see are ones that pollute the content. So yay wikipedia.
Okay, but the adoption rate of "let me create a code for my packages and give it to the Amazon person" is perhaps two or three orders of magnitude lower than if Amazon shows a bunch of call-to-actions for "link your myQ account for secure deliveries".

I live in Helsinki, Finland, and there are often clusters of buildings arranged around a garden - with space for parking, and childrens play-areas.

Snow happens every year, and it is often pushed away by mini-tractors, into giant heaps, that the children love to climb and play on.

Some parts of the ground are just left covered in ice/show for a few months though.
I'm honestly surprised there aren't more cases of violence against Insurance companies and employees.
Yes, because humans have a reference to the world and they can, in some cases check the claim. The examples you give are not facts we can directly check, we take it on authority that they are true or not based on individual conceptions about the validity of the authority. Even the cases you mention provide another example of what this "AI" cannot do: it cannot dispute facts, because "the world" is not in it's domain of reference. It's domain of reference is text previously produced by humans and all it can do it manipulate that to produce something hopefully useful to us. Even there it is not very good, otherwise it would be producing new mathematical theorems, since you don't need a reference to the world for that, but it doesn't "understand" logic well enough (if you can say it understands anything) and it doesn't have the concepts to do it.

I may have oversimplified it. There were certainly other factors at play in the boss's mind.

The other part of it was to not do extra work for the third-party when that work wasn't specified in the contract. If you do extra work every time you're asked then it'll quickly be abused. You don't want to seem like a contract stickler, but you also don't want to bend over backwards either. It's something to keep in mind.

How was the outcome negative in France?

There were failures in ensuring the new high rising estates don't become ghettos due to lack of opportunities and self-reinforcing vicious cycles, which have been in large part corrected and have been taken into account for any new high rise / housing (re)developments. And there has been a lack of enough developments in the big cities for a variety of reasons. But overall I wouldn't say the outcome wss negative. Millions of people have somewhere to live which is more often than not with decent quality and availability of opportunities.
JSweet – A Java to JavaScript Transpiler
One of the missing features which keeps me using Chrome on Android is Firefox's inability to simply download a copy of a page's HTML. Mozilla engineers removed that feature because they didn't want the interface to be "too cluttered". (Yes, sometimes I can print a PDF, however for many sites that results in something unreadable.) Hoping that there will be an extension to re-enable downloading of HTML or full pages.
It's an artifact of their consensus-based decision-making process (they have lots of process).

Meetings are a crucial part of obtaining and expressing consensus.

It can get pretty crazy, but they get things done.

Whenever we look at the way that another culture does stuff (not just other nations -other companies, as well), we tend to look at it through the lens of "That's not something I could do!". We need to remember that their culture is acclimated to doing things the way they do it; for better or for worse. They actually can have a difficult time, adjusting to the way we do things in the US.

We had a liaison that wanted to help things be more "agile," so our infrastructure/process guy suggested daily morning standups (you know, informal, 15-minute meetings in the morning).

He turned that into once-a-week 1-hour sit-down meetings before lunch on Fridays, with a rigorous format.

I'm still in favor of absolute recording rights despite all that. You're quite right to point out chilling effects of active recording, but you have to also consider that bad police behavior is chilling in and of itself. People don't want to make reports when the police might make things worse or neglect things they're supposed to help with. Recording can help with that and will become less common as bad police are held to better account. Another thing that can balance that would be for police stations to have a reception desk with a transparent, soundproof box for citizens to make reports with some privacy and safety regardless of recording.
I don't have any context for other funds, but I have a really hard time believing that it's hard to do better than break even at that scale of capital.
With MBR (master boot record) partitioning, Windows had to be on a primary partition, and it was only possible to have four of them. Linux could be installed to a primary or extended partition, of which there could be more.

As far as I know the order never actually mattered as long as Windows could have a primary partition. The newer GPT system doesn't have such a distinction or low limits (Windows is limited to 128 partitions per disk; I think Linux can handle more).

The 'techno' prefix in 'technocrat' does not refer to information technology, or even science. It instead refers to a technical specialist in the exercising of governmental or managerial authority.

I can't think of a single instance in which a technocracy has produced a good outcome.

Take this passage from the vaccination page for example:

> Some studies have claimed to show that current vaccine schedules increase infant mortality and hospitalization rates;[103][104] those studies, however, are correlational in nature and therefore cannot demonstrate causal effects, and the studies have also been criticized for cherry picking the comparisons they report, for ignoring historical trends that support an opposing conclusion, and for counting vaccines in a manner that is "completely arbitrary and riddled with mistakes".[105][106]

If you go to the vaccination page and look at the cited studies, you'll see they are peer-reviewed studies in real scientific journals. But a Wikipedia editor went in and modified the language to cast doubt on it (see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vaccination&diff=...).

All statistical analyses are "correlational in nature", so there's no reason why that should weaken the findings of this study, and the source used to accuse the study of "cherry-picking" is a blog post from 2011. In my estimation this kind of spin happens all the time on Wikipedia.
You don't seem to be.
That article makes the same unstated assumption, attempting to treat `random()`'s output (and transformations thereof) as true random variables. But it just changes the rounding mode and bin size in a manner that _happens_ to work better for some transforms like log.

It changes the fundamental property of the distribution — the cdf — without stating it.

With floating point realizations of [0, 1) intervals:

cdf(p) = P(random() < p) := p

With (0, 1] intervals:

cdf(p) = P(random() <= p) := p

I think I agree that it's akin to organized crime, it's a case of "the goal justifies the means".

You see the goal of forcing union usage as a noble thing so you agree with these means. If the goal was one that you don't see as noble you'd definitely agree that it's very organized crime like.
