Right, and like the article says, that's at least partially a patriarchal society drilling into them what "a real man" should look like and also that they should only date such men.

But even 40 years ago counter cultural hippies were doing fine. Maybe there was a dry spell of that in the 90s but certainly modern women are open to "nontraditional" men, especially once you look outside the west. E.g. what a westerner would consider "effeminate" is usually considered attractive in men in South Korea.

In the west there's certainly a large portion of women that find "nontraditional" men attractive.
Yeah, but the doses are way different for different substances, as are the side effects.

Edit: Haha, speaking about whooshing, use your brain or someone else will.
Or consider the commuter that is obliged to pay hundreds a week for gas, and is assaulted by ads at obnoxious volumes while they fill up. Or the jet passenger that endures ads on what should be the PA that is reserved for emergency communications, after they’ve been gouged on ticket prices, because hey, why not monetize a captive audience for all they are worth? Does a first class ticket buy the right to avoid harassment? Everything points to “not for long”..

> seeing how 2GW of nuclear cost $34B in Georgia

Vogtle 4 was (IIRC) 30% cheaper than Vogtle 3.

The problem with nuclear in Georgia, and in the US, was that no one remembers/ed how to do it, and so all the lessons of yore had to be relearned, and the supply chain had to be stood up.

If you put in an order for several reactors, the very first one (especially of a new model, like Vogtle 3 was) will be expensive AF. The second will be expensive. All models after that will be at a more 'reasonable' cost.

Nuclear reactors are just like any other widget: the cost goes down with economies of scale. If you order 4 or 8 reactors at one sites they'll get progressively get cheaper (there is a floor of course). If you then put in an order at a second site, and move the workforce (or a portion) there, the lower costs will still be present.

If you start and stop construction, or order a whole bunch of different models/types, then there economies of scale goes out the window.
Well, if you see someone launching a browser, visiting website, then quitting it, and then later launching it again to visit another webpage, you'd tell them it ain't right, no?
How do you "repurpose" a 2m repeater for that?
No mention or comparison with phi-3 seems odd. Isn't phi-3 leading the other models by a bit?
I had the exact same thing happen to a house I owned in Utah. I had purchased a house that had a mother-in-law apartment in it, which I could offer my parents to live in, as my Dad was in bad health waiting for a transplant.

At one point, after about 5 years of me living there, there had been a leak under the sink in the bathroom and at the same time the stove also went out (within the same month). We were doing better financially so we decided to take this as an opportunity to renovate the mother-in-law suite as it was starting to show its' age. We wanted to improve the bathroom significantly (remove the tub and add a walk-in shower), update the very dated materials, and add a gas-line to the stove (since the main kitchen upstairs had a gas stove already, and the gas water heater was on the opposite side of a wall where the mother-in-law stove goes).

Anyway, we had a plumber come out and quote the work and he wanted to get a permit for the work. That was fine, I wasn't intending to do anything shady, so we requested a build permit and the inspector came out and told us we weren't supposed to have anything in the basement at all. No kitchen, no side entry doorway, no bathroom, no two bedrooms, no kitchen. The entire mother-in-law suite was around 1,000 sqft, it wasn't insignificant, and he was saying the previous owner never permitted it.

We basically got notice from the city that our house was illegal and could be condemned if we didn't first pay permitting and get inspections on the current home, before we do any new work. Keep in mind, I had owned this home for over 5 years when this was happening, I never did the original work, and the original work was now so old it needed to be replaced and updated. The plumber estimated by the plumbing work and code it was built to that it had to have been built at least 20 years prior. Based on the materials and designs of things like vanities, tilework, trim, kitchen finishes, etc I would have estimated that it was also about 20 years old.

So yeah we basically got extorted to pay the permitting for work that was so old it was now being replaced. Then we had to do the same thing again for the replacement work. Then on top of that, then next year our house was assessed at $180k more money, increasing property taxes significantly. This was in ~2016.

Aside from this, a lot of medical professionals, particularly the PA’s, seem to be very low knowledge on how to identify the veracity of blood pressure readings. I’ve multiple times had to ask them to retake the blood pressure when the reading was very high or low. It was really surprising the first time it happened and made me wonder what else is getting misreported

I obviously understand it's not a 100% solar system. If it was you would need to be able to deal with at least 2 weeks of bad weather, not two days, and you would have to take into account winter (dropping to about 5 hours instead of 8).

Additionally, mixing solar and wind is not as easy as it seems, because the two are correlated. If you have a major storm that makes wind energy impossible due to wind speeds above ~100km/h, you will also have clouds making solar energy unworkable. I'm not aware of any simulations modelling a 95+% solar/wind grid for storage needs, taking into account extreme weather patterns, grid topology, and equipment damage, but if you do then please link it.

I don't see any article linked in the comment I replied to. Perhaps you're mixing up two comment chains.
I just put Windows 11 on its own little VLAN/WiFi island called "RebootRift." It lives alone, endlessly restarting, hoping one day it will be trustworthy enough to join the others—but deep down, it knows it never will.
That surprises me. I thought motion planning and motor control would be harder - old memories of Asimo falling helplessly trying to climb stairs, the clunkiness of a robot aligning itself perfectly with a drawer before executing a scripted-looking action to pull the handle, the obvious recorded sequence Atlas uses to get up from a fall. I know Boston Dynamics does impressive acrobatics, but it's all legs and no arms.

Are kinematics and planning solved now? I want to move into the field so I'm trying to learn.
I remember that my HTC Desire Z Android phone, and possible also the iteration of a Nexus Android phone that I later owned, had FM Radio. It was relatively common back then, and I made use of it almost every day on my bike commute and such.

They used the (wired) earphones plugged into them as an FM antenna, worked well enough.

> are the studies always really done with far more accurate blood pressure readings, where the patient sits still for 5 min beforehand, keeps their legs uncrossed, is totally free of stress and anxiety, didn't exercise beforehand, etc.?

In situations where blood pressure really matters, we aren't playing around with the cuff and hand positioning. The patient gets an art line.
Ditto.

Caveat. I did pencil in data centres using nuclear as highly probable some years ago (I worked in geophysical energy+mineral exploration for decades then moved to resource intelligence presentation).

Won't I don't see is the "inadvertently saves us from catastrophic climate change" part .. sure, that might happen but it doesn't follow that it will - the more probable outcome is that overall we humans just consume even more energy with some of that addditional energy coming from nuclear.

After watching the old murder on the orient express I too was fascinated by the dining aspect and looked at what was available today to relive the experience the movie depicted (minus the murder, hopefully)

"ancient Roman ruins" You might find that the Roman presence was built upon an even earlier site. That happens very often - the Romans were very good at colonizing, whilst fitting in. They would often embrace the local religions and simply add them to their pantheon.

I've just read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_St._Donatus and there are no notes about pre-Roman ie iron age archaeology.

The church looks stunning and the acoustics will probably be amazing.

Nobody is "forced" to get health care in the United States, [except once you're unconscious, insane, or incarcerated, and the ambulance arrives] but what are the penalties if we don't? A PCP is the only one who can route me to a specialist if I really needed one. If I broke my leg again, or had some other emergency, it'd be nice to have a followup with someone who already has us on file, rather than trying to get past all the gatekeepers for an initial visit.

Every insurance company will urge their customers to establish and visit the PCP on the regular. Every social services agency simply assumes... demands... that citizens have a relationship with medicine and that we dutifully visit the doctor to keep up on health issues. It's outright heresy and treason to say that you won't participate at all.

A physician is the only one who can keep records relating to disability cases. A physician is the only one who can write me a note if I'm unable to work. Eventually you'll need to release medical records to a third party in order to access benefits or qualify for something, so those records had better pre-exist! A physician is the only one who can diagnose or treat any disease, so what else would we do if we got truly sick?

Can you though? And if so, for how much longer?

Matt is already not letting developers log into wordpress.org without disclaiming any relationship with WPEngine. He is 100% going to demand the same from people mirroring that repo as soon as he thinks of it.

Doctors recognize that non-invasive BP measurement is an imperfect screening tool. Anybody worth their salt isn't getting worked up about these level of details, because it's largely a waste of time and effort. The solution to an error prone screening tool is not to repeatedly use the screening tool. You move on to more accurate and focused methods of testing.

It’s this type of foolishness that has turned me so trigger-happy with that “X” button. I close tabs so quickly nowadays that I sometimes forget why I even visited a website in the first place, and I usually end up having to right-click and click “Reopen closed tab” to go back once I remember why.

As a class of problems, I'd say the combinatorial game theory ones are my favorites. There are a lot of impartial game theory problems - look for problems mentioning Nim or stone games. They build on each other nicely, from the mid 300s on. The site has been getting into partisan game theory problems in the past year, which finally got me to buy "Winning Ways For Your Mathematical Plays", vol 1, and "Lessons In Play". I find pretty much any problem with John Conway's influence fun to do.

As for a single problem, I'm fond of PE589, "Poohsticks Marathon". That was my 501st solution, two years after first attempting it (solved 5 years ago, yikes). I like it because it's a problem with a 95% difficulty rating, so very tough, but the development team slotted it in as an easy problem (problems normally get scheduled in batches of 6 with a cadence of medium/easy/medium/easy/medium/hard). Once I solved it, I agreed that it was relatively easy, in that it uses techniques introduced by early PE problems, but something about it makes using those techniques unexpectedly difficult.

This is all about the revival of pebble-bed reactors, which were attemped several decades ago but had problems with the graphite pebbles breaking down and releasing graphite fragments that clogged the pipes, basically. China is way ahead on this with helium-cooled versions. The big deal is that in the event of complete power loss (see Fukushima) they go into shutdown without melting down, although if the coolant lost and replaced with air you would get a nasty Chernobyl-style graphite fire. Still an improvement in safety. See:

> "Several high-temperature thermal neutron–spectrum pebble bed reactors are being commercialized. China has started up two helium-cooled pebble bed high-temperature reactors. In the United States, the X-Energy helium-cooled and the Kairos Power salt-cooled pebble bed high-temperature reactors will produce spent nuclear fuel (SNF) with burnups exceeding 150 000 MWd per tonne. The reactor fuel in each case consists of small spherical graphite pebbles (4 to 6 cm in diameter) containing thousands of small TRISO (microspheric tri-structural isotropic) fuel particles embedded in the fuel of zone these pebbles."

Yes, CRLF is dumb. Trying to justify the problem seems unnecessary, it's widely acknowledged. A productive inquiry looks at why fixing it didn't happen yet. Don't confuse that line of thought for calling for more failure.

This is unrealistic, though:

> I don't believe in Postel's Law

All the systems around us that work properly do believe in it, and they will continue to do so. No-one who writes MTAs or reverse proxies &c is gonna listen to the wolves howling at the moon for change when there's no better plan that "ram it through unilaterally". Irrespective of what any individual may believe, Postel's Law remains axiomatic in protocol design & implementation.

More constructively, it may be that line-oriented protocols will only move towards change when they can explicitly negotiate line termination preferences during the opening handshake/banner/key exchange etc, which inevitably means a protocol revision in every case and very careful consideration of when CRLF is passed through anyway (e.g. email body).
I think most private dentists charge about £20/$25 for a radiography in the UK. In the US, this pricing seems also available - https://www.teethtalkgirl.com/dental-health/cost-for-dental-....

Interestingly, I lived in Central Europe for a while and all my private dentists just used visual inspection for teeth. I never had an issue with that, all decay was spotted in time and in many cases earlier than with the x-ray only method, because more attention was paid to how the teeth look up-close, at all angles.

However, the visual inspection takes more time and skill. One might argue x-ray is the cheaper and quicker option. Though it costs more to the patient in many cases. Ah, the world of dentistry.
So fun fact, if you compile

int sum(int n) {
int sum = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
sum +=i;
}
return sum;
}

clang, with -O2, will turn this into the polynomial (n+1)*n//2. It can also do similar transformations for multiple loops.

https://godbolt.org/z/so6neac33

So if you do a brute force solution which could have been reduced to a polyomial, clang has a shot of doing just that.

I'm calling it content because that's what it is. And it's the term that we use for it today.. I don't call it that because of Google, I call it that because that's what it's called. Language evolves.

Content creator is a blanket term for the writers, videographers, researchers, comedians, speakers, musicians, scientists, programmers, artists, architects, singers and every other profession making a living uploading videos to YouTube.

I certainly didn't want to type all of those, so I used the common shorthand. Even you knew what it meant. Not everything is sinister or evil. Sometimes it's just words.

99% (probably more) of people who use YT have never heard of PeerTube. I've heard of it and I've never once tried to use it, and I'm quite technical (I've built a video distribution platform).

You're delusional (sorry) if you think anything out there even comes close to the reach or ease of use of YouTube for the average person.

Look I'm not saying it's perfect either, or that there aren't problems with Google and the rest of big tech, and some of their products have drawbacks and downsides..

Anyways, I just realized I'm trying to have practical conversation and you're having an ideological one.. So maybe that's where this ends, we'll agree to disagree and move on...
I know very little about antenna technology, but physics might play a role. 2m/70cm is pretty far away from the few-cm-wavelengths of somewhat modern cellphones (70cm a bit less so). For FM radio, the common workaround was to use the cable of plugged in wired earphones as antenna, but I don't know how well that would work for bands where the transmitters aren't as unbelievably strong as they are for FM radio.

And then there's of course the fact that almost nobody is asking for that, so the engineering and maintenance effort behind it would be insane in comparison.
> Is the blood pressure really being measured "correctly" in all those studies? Or not?

Probably incorrect in most studies, especially large population ones that influence treatment guidelines.

It’s academic and doesn’t practically matter though.

The pathogenesis of hypertension related disorders (kidney failure, heart failure, stroke etc) is well known.

It’s not in doubt that sustained hypertension is bad, that there is increased risk with higher blood pressure and that patients with high blood pressure undergoing treatment suffer less of these bad outcomes.
Well said, that is always how I saw it as well. The sort of math problem solving we did for fun in school but all the problems require programmatic thinking and usually eventually an algorithm. I learned so much from doing Eulers. Even basic stuff I thought I would know like the best way to get GCD

Most XML experience I had was ejabberd and XMPP. Was thoroughly pissed off by the end of it.

Had to split the elements to make it work. 0/10 would not recommend.
