I have astigmatism and toric lenses never worked well for me. I could feel them rotate in my eye and they would never settle perfectly. This was back in 2006, though. And they weren't bad contacts either, they were ordered from Switzerland, allegedly custom made etc. I tried for a few weeks, they never worked well. Every ten blinks or so I'd get blurry vision.

Strangers have access to hotel rooms at all times, but the expectation is that they'll only enter for agreed-upon reasons (like daily housekeeping, if you don't put up the do-not-disturb sign), and emergencies.

The safe is there because they acknowledge that quite a few people have access to the room and they can't be 100% sure that all their employees are good people who wouldn't steal, even if they expect them not to. Not because they intend to send randos into your room at all hours of the day.

(And it's not clear how many employees have access to override the locks on the in-room safes... I've always thought of those safes as borderline security theater.)

I wouldn't call a hotel stay "home" either, but I expect the privacy situation to be only slightly weaker than an apartment rental.

Hell, I own a unit in a condo building, and our building insurance requires annual inspections of the sprinklers and fire alarm horns. I know someone who owns a condo in another city, and the building does (required) quarterly spraying for cockroaches, and replacements of the air conditioning filters.

She's saying that a different model -- one of the three disagreeing methods for distance ladder measurements -- must be wrong, because they disagree with each other. But if one or more of those models are wrong, then there's not much evidence that the LambdaCDM model is wrong.

Conversely, the hypothesis that LambdaCDM is wrong does nothing to explain why the distance ladder methods disagree.

She clearly isn't saying that any model is infallible, she's just saying that clear flaws with one set of models throw into question some specific accusations that a different model is wrong.

Does it have to be old to be a "classic"?

If not, by far, One Hundred Years of Solitude by Marquez is my favorite novel by a Nobel winner. It's great, epic, and lovely to read.

If you include epics, Mahabharata is actually a grand, epic book with war, friendship, love, sex, politics, realpolitik, strategy, and has a reach story line with scores of great side-stories.

I also genuinely enjoyed Iliad and Aenied.

I was also surprised at how good Candide by Voltaire was to read. Had a ton of fun reading it.

How much is the subscription for the Garmin device? I'm curious because I bought my parents a personal locator beacon, since they are retired and hike constantly. It costs more up front but has no subscription, and I didn't want to gift something with a high recurring cost. There's no communication option, it's all or nothing - if it's activated they send the helicopters. On the plus side, it has a fixed 7 year battery life, so no need to worry about charging or it dying when you need it (if you remember the expiration date). I'm curious what Google will charge for their SOS feature and how it will compare to PLV or a satellite communicator.

Well, I think the standard explanation for this case was something this:

Being male (X) causes you psychologically to prefer STEM departments, which are more economically useful, which means they are better funded, which means they are larger, which means they can admit more people, which means you are more likely to be admitted (Y). So X is positively correlated with Y.

However, being male (X) also causes you to be less likely to be admitted in each individual department (parts of Y), e.g. because people in admissions offices have some degree of anti-male bias, known in psychology as women-are-wonderful effect [1]. So X is negatively correlated with the parts of Y (being admitted to individual departments).

So in this case, X does cause both Y, via the male psychological preference for STEM, and not-y_n (for {y_1, y_2, ..., y_n} = Y, for an n-partition of Y), via anti-male admissions bias like women-are-wonderful. So the previously most plausible initial explanation for why X causes Y (university being biased again women) is indeed false.

I guess the lesson is that detecting a case of Simpson's paradox (when partitions of a variable like Y have different direction of correlation with some other variable X than the entire variable Y) can point to causal explanations being different than what they would naively seem to be.

It's a sphere, the height is equal to the diameter that you plainly see on the picture.
Glasses are also absurdly expensive for what they are (maybe this is a US thing). Contacts are also expensive, but you can sort of appreciate the manufacturing challenge.

No, my prescription is for astigmatism, and my contacts are contacts specifically for astigmatism. In my experience, they orient themselves (and indeed I have never had to worry about their orientation).

I have never previously thought about this in terms of rotation (as I was not even aware that the contact lenses were asymmetrical), but I do normally have to blink a few times after inserting the contact lens before I have sharp vision. But in my experience it takes a few seconds for this to happen and does not depend on inserting the lens at any particular orientation.

I have glasses too, so I would notice if the contact lenses were giving me significantly worse vision!

The brand is '1 Day Acuvue Moist for Astigmatism'.
You said "You can’t ban what emerges naturally" and stated "this was shown" in the research, but the research does not show that.

It shows that cartels can emerge naturally rather than via deliberate collusion. That's all. It says nothing about being able to ban them.
Sure, it's nice in that regard.

But honestly running poetry install for python is not bad either.

I think this is a spot where YouTube fails to give a "fully valid" option as a platform. As a user right now I can have YouTube Premium, be a Patreon, and leave a Super Thanks on a video but still get served a sponsored segment. At the same time on the creator side I have no way to target YouTube Premium users or people paying directly to the channel with different content while keeping it as the same posting on the same platform (i.e. all as one video post on YouTube). As a result, no matter how you slice it, there is no way to have things be "right" even given ideal and fully willing creators and viewers.

This leaves the only realistic way for a channel to make reasonable money to be via ads and sponsored segments targeting the majority of non paying users at the expense of the rest.

That's not even remotely the same thing at all. In the US, a landlord (or their agent) cannot legally enter a tenant's unit without 24 hours notice (or more, depending on local laws), unless there is an emergency. And for the non-emergency visits, the tenant has the option to be present for the visit. That is completely unlike a hotel doing random daily room inspections without your knowledge or presence.

I wish we had syntax like

meaning that

- the getUser and getSession calls occur concurrently (it desugars to Promise.all)

- user and session are available for use after the block

- user and session appear directly next to the calls that give them their values, unlike with Promise.all

Firstly, GPLed programs with proprietary modifications can easily be trapped inside single organizations.

The original MIT-licensed program continues to exist and be available regardless of the proprietary versions and embeddings.

A copyleft license just asserts, using copyright power, that such things should not exist.

MIT and BSD licenses just allow certain works to legally exist that copyleft advocates think should not exist. The copyleft is concerned with squelching the existence of things, whereas the MIT and BSD licenses mostly promote existence.

(They are concerned with squelching the existence of plagiarism: an author's name and copyright notice removed from the source code work, and possibly replaced with another. Also, squelching the situation where the compiled work is accompanied by documentation which neglect to give attribution to the presence of that BSD-licensed code.)

I've used RGPs for 45 years (now -6.5) because I've been told multiple times that they provide the clearest vision. They only times I have any issues with comfort is grass allergy season but antihistamine drops work great. They tend to be a bit more expensive up front but they also last for years.

My understanding is that even non-toric RGP lenses can correct some degree of astigmatism.

Once thing that you can do with contacts is so-called Monovision [0], where one lens is slightly under-corrected and your brain figures out which to use. I'll put on reading glasses for close detail work but otherwise go from driving to working at a computer without any focus troubles.

This is also not helpful.

Can you imagine why someone else might spend $1000 on a phone? If the answer is no you have a shockingly poor ability to empathize and see things from a different perspective.

I totally understand why some people spend $1500 on a new phone. And I also understand why some people want to spend the bare minimum! These perspectives are not difficult to grasp.

I think they are pretty much all the same (I've tried almost every brand of them over the years), but will orient themselves... however at least for me it can take a long time, and vision is pretty bad while that is happening. I can't imagine skipping the extra few seconds required to have them perfectly aligned from the beginning.

> How do you implement `memoize`?

> I think that you basically can’t, in JavaScript. Or, more accurately: I can’t think of a way to do it.[1]

Oh, this is a case for WeakMaps right?

const MemoCache = new WeakMap();
function memoize(f, x) {
const cache = MemoCache.get(f) || new Map()
MemoCache.set(f, cache)
if (!cache.has(x)) {
cache.set(x, f(x))
}
return cache.get(x);
}

Oh wait:

> 1. You could create a global memoization map keyed on the function that you’re calling, but this would actually have different semantics than I’m imagining. If I said `memoize(f, 1) + memoize(f, 1)` I would expect those to each invoke `f`, because instances of `memoize` shouldn’t share results. Why not? Because this is a fake example, and a global memoization is a different (easier!) thing than per-call-site memoization.

Like I get what you're saying but you could just cache the call site too?

const MemoCache2 = new WeakMap();
function memoize2(f, x) {
const callsite = new Error().stack
const macro_cache = MemoCache2.get(f) || {};
const micro_cache = macro_cache[callsite] || new Map();
macro_cache[callsite] = micro_cache;
MemoCache2.set(f, macro_cache)

if (!micro_cache.has(x)) {
micro_cache.set(x, f(x))
}
return micro_cache.get(x);
}

I admit that this is something of a trickery though, but I mean, it's trickery specifically to work around that this person doesn't want to write `const my_f1 = memoize(f), my_f2 = memoize(f)` in some location on the screen. Precisely because people who write JavaScript are not accustomed to macros, they are not expecting `memoize(f, 1) + memoize(f, 1)` to be a proper memoization expression, they aren't expecting weird stuff with weakmaps and inspecting stack traces to identify call sites and all that.
