Epic reddit-tier contribution. I was hoping for a lame pun, but a low effort reference without explanation is just as good. Bacon.
I sleep in a light room wearing a mask. So my eyes are dark, but skin gets some light. My understanding is that melatonin is regulated by light through the eyes, so that should count as dark for circadian rhythm purposes. But I’d appreciate any corrections.

Seems like this study measured it with a wristwatch, which is a poor proxy for either light on the eyes or skin.

The cost is the whole point. Any 30-year mortgage that might be on offer in the UK (turns out, actually none at all available to the average homebuyer) would be a far worse deal, even given the interest rate changes we've seen.
Real Brexiteers were bankers.

There were rumors that because UK is leaving many banks from London City will move to Germany or Belgium or the Netherlands.

They did not because they actually did not want to be regulated by EU and UK can serve rich people better while poor people got it worse.

Under the guise that poor less educated people wanted brexit… where they were brainwashed.

I am torn on that argument we see a rather high drop in quality of almost everything. It seems that corps go for lowering the quality of their products which they can produce with less skilled labor. The opposite is true for luxury goods were the skilled labor is still in high demand.

I have found being tired makes me unapt to plow through mundane things that need to be done. I have found I was snoring and doing sleep apnea, got a dentition apparatus (€800 in France, mostly reimbursed) to move the lower mandibula forward, and bahm, motivation is back. However my teeth don’t align anymore and I’m quite upset about that part.

But at least I plow through normal difficulties, which helps me organize holidays and house maintenance better, which helps me find much better fulfillment in life.

The thing is that these fairy stories at a pre school level give children some tools to use when they experience the real horrors you are talking about. If kids go into rape and shootings blind then it can be really disturbing, and leads to mental health issues and suicides. If they have experience of internalising trauma through the safety of stories then these experiences have been proven to be processed much more effectively.
The typical canary contains a signed timestamp. Generally, the US does differentiate between forbidding an action (“do not remove your canary”) and compelling an action (“update your canary with a new timestamp” or “disclose the pass phrase for the signing key”).

I’m no expert, and I’m sure there are nuances, but the broad strokes behind the design of these canaries are that it’s harder for the government to compel an action than to forbid one.

Unfortunately the UK public doesn't seem to buy into that sort of thing. Sure, a large, vocal minority does, but enough to win an election against the hoards of basically-tory-supporting middle-englanders?

Not as far as I can see. Labour has to claim the middle ground to win, at least if it wants to win more than once. The next session is probably in the bag either way.
ironically the push for recycling, which won't solve any of the plastic issues but might make the cost of plastic bottles cheaper for the manufacturer (because now the state provide service or monetary incentives to what is ultimately plastic production) not only cause more plastic but lower quality plastic that leaches more micro plastic into the water.

I actually switched to store a lot of food related products in those wax-cloths. They are great! They are reusable, are breathable so that no moisture builds up but not breathable enough that, lets say bread for example, goes dry in it. And of course completely compostable as they are made of cotton and bees wax.
If they get dirty you can just scrub them under warm running water.

Of course they are way more expensive than buying a roll of plastic bags, but I bought them one by one and made plastic bags basically obsolete (other than for freezing bread, as that does not fit in my freezer containers) in my house hold over the course of a year or so. And I expect them, based on experience over the last year, to hold for at least another 2 years without needing to reapply the wax layer or buying new ones.
Straight from wikipedia[1]:

During the US bull market of the 1920s, there were numerous private investment vehicles available to wealthy investors. Of that period, the best known today is the Graham-Newman Partnership, founded by Benjamin Graham and his long-time business partner Jerry Newman. This was cited by Warren Buffett in a 2006 letter to the Museum of American Finance as an early hedge fund, and based on other comments from Buffett, Janet Tavakoli deems Graham's investment firm the first hedge fund.

The sociologist Alfred W. Jones is credited with coining the phrase "hedged fund" and is credited with creating the first hedge fund structure in 1949. Jones referred to his fund as being "hedged", a term then commonly used on Wall Street to describe the management of investment risk due to changes in the financial markets.

In other words, it depends on who you ask and what your exact understanding is of what defines a hedge(d) fund.

Exceptionally well written, and easy to follow. The impact of a textual encoding capable of being sent over almost any channel cannot be ignored. How well I recall the obsessional coding efficiency discussions of those days when bandwidth was so constrained. Now, we barely blink if an attachment in mail is 25MB but back then it could take 2 days to send that much data on a 1200baud link.
The BBC has a laudable goal of trying to be "balanced" which unfortunately is often poorly implemented as giving equal credence to both sides of an argument, even when doing so paints a wildly innaccurate picture.

If you look at the totality of the BBC's coverage, it's clear that the general consensus is that he did a good thing for humanity that hurt some powerful people, and he's been unjustly punished for it, but that there is a small cohort of people (including some very vocal, powerful ones who get headlines) who disagree with that opinion and think that he did something negative and was justly punished for it.

The trouble is that when you summarise that argument, you lose the "general consensus" and "small cohort" bits and you just get the two points, which together make a rather different story.

Bioplastics already exist, but the name is misleading says Blennow. While today's bioplastics are made of bio-derived materials, only a limited part of them is actually degradable, and only under special conditions in industrial composting plants.

I don't find the name suitable because the most common types of bioplastics don't break down that easily if tossed into nature. The process can take many years and some of it continues to pollute as microplastic. Specialized facilities are needed to break down bioplastics. And even then, a very limited part of them can be recycled, with the rest ending up as waste," says the researcher.

I think being able to sound "the same as their albums" while playing live is a great gesture about how good they are, and how the albums they put out are processed.

Pink Martini can pull off the same trick. They can reproduce their albums live, and without any playback. It shows how unedited their albums are, and how good they are with their instruments and voice.
Swedish courts have sent investigators to interview suspects abroad before, and yet the Swedish prosecutor waited for years to do so. Swedish prosecutors have brought cases to court in absentia before, and yet she chose not to for those years. He didn't make it easy for them, but the prosecutor in this case also refused to make any of the moves available to her, and at least with respect to interviews outright lied and claimed it was impossible at a point where Swedish police had literally just done that in another case.
Unfortunately the Python 3 debacle kind of ruined standalone Python scripts. At least for a while. Have distros gone back to having "/usr/bin/python" available (as opposed to "python3" or something else)? I bet there's still loads of system in the wild without a "/usr/bin/python", though.

Yes precisely. I’m also frankly shocked at the condescension. If you weren’t making that typical mistake then please explain the uses you meant. I would rarely use a box plot for a CLT distribution. Why? I would most often use it with a population sample I want to get the distribution of. Yes the mean of those would be a Gaussian under the CLT but it’s not useful useful as such.

Most natural distributions are not Gaussian upon sampling even if they’re bell shaped. They often have fatter tails, model some complex process, etc. The box plot is sometimes deceptive as is demonstrated in the original link. I don’t think that’s easy to argue against as they provide a totally reasonable and common sample distribution and show it failing to be descriptive of the most important features.

I fail to see how the CLT even remotely addresses the concerns or obviates them in any useful sense. The CLT and box plots aren’t very often applied together for these reasons.

As an Indonesian working as a software developer, I can say that integration is more akin to a jargon than something actually planned and properly implemented here in Indonesia. The apps number continue to grow because almost every time the head of an institution changes (on whatever level it is), the new one would be more likely to create a new app from scratch as a form of achievement.
Older versions of PDF files and readers don't know or care about what happened later. PDFs also did shady shit like being able to embed JavaScript actions and other files. They also became Turing complete when they adopted Type 4 functions in PDF 1.3 that still aren't deprecated in 2.0.

Sweden was not used as a black site.

The US promised to not torture three guys who were handed over to them, and then started torturing them, illegally at Bromma airport, but this was restricted to things that they did not regard as torture, such as drugging people, putting things into their colons, use of 'restraints', etc.

There were no black sites in Sweden. There was torture here, but only for one afternoon, on an airplane that soon left our territory.

> What I don't remember was any reasoning on why he thought it more likely that he'd be extradited from Sweden to the US rather than from the UK, who are particularly close?

Not long before the Assange case ended, Swedish police kidnapped two asylum seekers (and yes, kidnapped is the right term - it was not an arrest, and has since been found to violate Swedish law) and handed them over to the CIA who handed them over to the regime they fled, which subsequently tortured them. The kidnapping and rendition was both a violation of Swedish law, and a violation of international treaties, and yet nothing happened to the people responsible to my knowledge.

You might see why someone who believed - rightfully, as it turned out years later - the US wanted to file charges and get their hands on him, might worry that the Swedish government would turn a blind eye to him being handed over to the US.

Whether or not he was right to fear that, it seems reasonable to believe his fear was genuine, not least because he chose to put himself in a situation that has kept him imprisoned in inhumane conditions far longer than he would've ever served if he was convicted of what he was accused of in Sweden.
I really hate this line of thinking. Your blatently encorauging politicians to lie to voters.

Campaign on a platform of comprimise and sensible polices to attract moderate voters... And then just completely ignore everything you said you would do...

This is the exact opposite of what we should encourage from politics.
I'd encourage people to read this excellent piece in the London Review of Books by someone who was contracted to ghostwrite Assange's autobiography, and who initially felt very sympathetic towards the aims of Assange and Wikileaks: https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v36/n05/andrew-o-hagan/ghost... I found it very insightful and nuanced when it comes to Assange and his motivations, presenting him as neither hero nor villain, but someone who started something that he couldn't really handle.

Some of them. There are not enough bankers in the UK to produce the turnout for leave that we saw. There were also a lot of people whose main motivation was "f*** the system", and they sort of succeeded, even if they ended up worse off as a result.

It makes me think that the academic left should be a bit more careful with their regular calls to "burn down the evil capitalist system". It turns out a mob with torches might also set fire to the parts you like.

The article discusses the controversial handling of the rape allegations against Julian Assange by Swedish authorities, highlighting the investigative work of Nils Melzer, the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture. Melzer's findings suggest that the Swedish police may have manipulated the statements of the women involved to construct a narrative of rape where none existed. This narrative was then used to issue an international arrest warrant for Assange, complicating his legal situation and contributing to his long confinement in the Ecuadorian embassy in London.

Key points include the revelation that one of the women did not accuse Assange of rape but had her statement altered by the police. This alteration occurred under instructions from higher authorities, as evidenced by an email directing the change. The case against Assange was further complicated by the involvement of a second woman, whose testimony was also questionable and possibly influenced by external influences, including a friend in the police force.
Pleading guilty under the threat of either continued incarceration in inhuman conditions or extradition somewhere that could potentially murder you says nothing about guilt in anything but strict legal terms. It's a coerced plea.
