  1. As a tea obsessed person, here are some (small) corrections and misconceptions: * The porosity isn't important because of the oxygen content, but because this allows the tea to absorb some of the minirals from the clay and past teas. This improves and mellows the minerality (stone-like taste) of the tea as well as its structure (how long the taste remains in the mouth). * On preserving the flavour of the tea: In order to get the most "true" flavour of the tea, you would be using a porcelain gaiwan to brew, not a clay pot. A clay pot is designed to enhance the flavour of the tea by adding a kind of minirality which is unique to the clay. * Not an error, but a fun addendum: A lot of the artistry in a good pot comes from the perfection of its shape and the quality of the fit (how closely does the lid fit on) as well as the pour (how laminar is the flow which comes out). So sometimes you'll see "simple" pots with a high value. That's why.

  2. IMO syntax is the least important skill in programming, and your ability to quickly look up and understand documentation is one of the most important skills. (Being good at algorithms helps too) Sure, knowing all the syntax you need makes you faster, but most of the time I can't even remember the syntax of my own functions and objects. Yet if I remember the syntax of the, say, 20 things I use most, then there's no issue. Also, whenever I switch from something like Python to C or the other way around, I'm going to make mistakes in bracketing if statements or (not) ending in a semicolon. The way I see it, anyone trying to argue that this is a necessarily bad thing hasn't got enough experience with current day programming. All of this is to say that even though I agree with many of your points, the focus on syntax seems rather pointless to me.

  7. What she means is that we grow up with a very clear path for monogamy. This path is usually followed (kinda the default) in that you go on a few dates, have sex, define the relationship, move in together, get married and have kids. Dare I say every polyamorous person has gone through some form of struggle with this default; some have gone through it because no such thing exists (nor could ever exist) for polyamorous relationships, and others because they just feel uncomfortable at this idea. An example of the latter: Say I am monogamous and never want to live together with my partner (even if the relationship lasts 20+ years), what then? These abnormalities are often highlighted in polyamorous relationships, thus making them seem bigger than they are for most poly people. Conversely, because most monogamous people have never had to ask these questions, these "pre-defined terms" seem smaller than they are for most mono people.

  8.  @MrNitisharya  I mean, you say it's a waste of time, but when do you define time as wasted? The most "logical" answer would be any time wich is not spent producing economically productive goods or services; in which case you fail to take the human condition into account. For me, I prefer to think of anything that brings joy to my life and those around me is time well spent.
    57
  9.  @treatb09  There are a few questions here, which I'll try to answer. * The clay is unique to the area and noone has been able to replicate the unique minerality of it. However, there are more clays which are very popular, such as Jianshui Zitao, Chaozhou, Qin Zhou Nixing and Zini clay. This is certainly not an exhaustive list, and each has its own unique properties and effects. Some potteries also blend clays for a profile unique to the pottery. * The pour of a tea-pot is a refinement which is impossible to perfect. Especially with water being such a small molecule, bumps which are just a micron in size introduce some level of terbulence. So the artisan can only get asymptotically close to perfection, which means dealing with the law of diminishing returns, which skyrockets the price when you get to the very high-end. * Many of the best pots come completely void of engraving. Many people (myself included) prefer that and consider engraving to be unnecessary fluff. * The prices quoted in this video are a little misleading. China knows an "Elite" which spends inordinate amounts of money on tea (think $100 / gram --> $1k+ per session). The prices quoted here are specifically for tea pots catering to that particular group. For the more sensible amongst us, though (generally $0.15-$1 / gram), there are plenty master craftsman options around the $200 price range.

  11. I echo a lot of what you feel here, but I have to say that for me polyamory is not just about trying to have more partners but having the agency to do so. That said, I wholly believe you can be in one relationship and polyamorous, without having the desire to look for more.

  14. One argument I missed here is that vertical scaling has better customisability than horizontal scaling. For example, if your box has 4GB of RAM and 2 CPU cores, but you're only running out of RAM, you can just create a box with 8GB of RAM and 2 CPU cores. Applying horizontal scaling here would mean you'd have to pay for unnecessary cores.

  22. Please don't use the compliment sandwich. People see right through the BS of it and it has been shown to degrade trust. Instead, be direct and upfront with a primer. Loosely follow these steps: 1. "Hey, this may sound like I don't appreciate the sex we have" -- Important point here is to consider "What is the worst thing my partner could think?" and preemt this. This is scary but will prevent defensiveness. 2. Observe and wait a second for their initial panic to subside, indicating that they've been able to brace themselves for what you're about to say. 3. "I've been feeling like our sex life has turned quite monotone, and I'd love to switch it up by maybe including other kinds of sex." -- Important point here is to face your point head on. Don't beat around the bush, but be respectful. Keep what your say within your truth (refrain from "you (don't) do X"). This will show your partner both respect and thoughtfulness, and has been shown to increase trust. This same system applies to any tough news you may wish to share with anyone. (e.g. "I have bad news... The seller did not accept the offer you made").

For blacks, high quality unsmoked lapsang is a great start.

  27. Het idee van deze videos is goed. Maar je misbruikt cijfers hier op manieren die schadelijk zijn voor het begrip. Zo vergelijk je Franse doden door politie geweld (26) één op één met Amerikaanse doden door politie geweld, ondanks dat Amerika 4.7 maal zoveel inwoners heeft. Het beeld blijft hetzelfde, de cijfers worden gewoon 122 tegenover 1098. In het geval van dit voorbeeld maakt dit voor de conclusie vrij weinig uit: In Amerika vallen er ongeveer 10x zoveel doden door politie geweld dan in Frankrijk. Maar er wordt vaker op deze roekeloze manier met data omgegaan, en in bijvoorbeeld het geval van blanke/gekleurde doden lijdt dit tot conclusies die te snel door de bocht en je gewoon niet kunt maken als je claimt dat ze op deze data gebaseerd zijn. Jammer. Want dit soort videos, die proberen nuance en cijfers toe te voegen aan het gesprek, is precies wat we nodig hebben in deze tijd.

  28. Actually, according to the definition, monogamy is being with one person forever and never another. Culturally this has changed to the original definition of serial-monogamy which is being with one person at a time, and the serial-monogamy term changed to the same except in rapid succession. I'm aware of the definitions of the words, but I'm not quite sure how they are relevant here?

  29. Alisa Wilson If you're a sexologist you must be able to be open to and able to explain (almost) every part of sexuality. BDSM is something that many couples include in their sexuality and the SM part also deals with whips. That is why (almost) every sexoligist has at least one kind of whip.

  33. Prime still uses microservices, it's just the VQA (Video Quality Analysis) product that moved their product from multiple microservices to a larger microservice. They still maintain horizontal scalability, as there's a load balancer in front of the service (this scale cannot be achieved without horizontal scalability). I don't know why they decided to use the term monolith, probably to get more impressions.

  34.  @angelagladstone8863  Hi Angela! That's absolutely correct! These pots are not glazed, and in fact not treated at all on the inside (though they're sometimes polished on the outside). I'm not sure about the seepage question. My gut instinct is to say that there wouldn't be any seepage because the tea doesn't penetrate nearly that far. A lot of the flavour comes from surface and near-surface interaction, as well as the patina that forms from previous teas. Most people would also be unwilling to run the experiment, because it could negatively affect the taste of future tea. (This is why older tea pots get better, and why many people dedicate each tea pot to a specific kind of tea)

  36.  @marktrain9498  That "it's both" thing is a common misconception caused by the oversimplification of the cat-in-the-box thought experiment. In reality, you'd say that it's not heads, nor tails, nor neither, nor both. It is in fact in another state of being called a superposition. A spinning coin is actually a great analogy of a superposition: While spinning, it's neither heads nor tails nor neither, nor both. By careful observation you may be able to ascertain likelyhoods of the coin being observed as (landing on) heads or tails; and that stochastic distribution is what we call a superposition.

  37. Voor de duidelijkheid, en om even door alle bullshit in de comments heen te snijden: Dit is gewoon normaal en maakt deel uit van de gezonde ontwikkeling van kinderen. Het "doctortje spelen" gebeurt in de norm rond de leeftijd van 6 jaar. Dit heeft niks te maken met een overseksualisering van de maatschapij maar met de ontwikkelingsfase waar de kinderen zich op dat moment in bevinden. Ze zijn op die leeftijd bezig met het ontdekken van (de mogelijkheden van) hun lichaam en met de bijkomstigheid van een extra dosis cognitieve en sociale ontwikkeling gaan ze ook met elkaar op ontdekkingstocht. Het enige wat je hier als ouder mee hoeft te doen is een goed gesprek over privacy. Dit gebeurt al sinds we het in de gaten zijn gaan houden met de opkomst van (ontwikkelings) psychologie.

Essentially, a large part of the traffic from the east gets out here instead of Utrecht. This is one of the reasons why it's such a high-traffic station even though it's small in footprint.

  40. Using monorepo tooling like bazel it's trivial to declare visibility for your packages. This ensures you don't need to worry about random imports, as each package can declare the scope of responsibility, and service specific code is not reachable elsewhere. At scale, versioning of dependencies is a really bad idea. Versions get updated for a reason, and although backwards compatibility is important, if we're fixing a security vulnerability, we need it live on all repos immediately; this is incredibly hard to do across repos but near trivial in a monorepo.

What you're suggesting is a singularity that's smaller than the very resolution of the universe, which is preposterous.  An electron has no inherent size because it is a wave function. If you want to know the size of the electron you'd be better off finding the size of it's wave function which is inherently the same as the size of an atom.  Let me be very clear: There is NO singularity being made by electrons.

  53. Great points in this video! My experience has been that the best companies give very aggressive raises to top performers, and almost nothing to low performers. In the company I currently work for, 10-15% YoY is not uncommon, and if you're on a growth fast track your promo cycles can put that at 20-30% YoY. But you hit the nail on the head here, that's only for the top performers, and if people don't perform, they get nothing.

  55. Could be, but it has some potential simplifications. For example: In some scenarios (1:1), the quality may be requested by the client and the server-side transcoding can be omitted (almost) entirely. In most cases the number of necessary quality formats is lower and can be adjusted on the fly. Video calling also does not benefit from any CDN caching and can skip this step entirely. Basically: Video calling is just video streaming, but with a few potential optimisations due to the lower number of viewers.

  56. The point they were trying to make here is that microservices for startups have a high amount of boilerplate code and other requirements which do not directly affect the wellbeing of the customer. In most early stage startups, it is critical that resources are used in the most efficient way possible, so it's often worth making the tradeoff between scalability and faster feature velocity, with the knowledge that a migration will have to happen somewhere down the line.

  63.  @MsUltrafox  Uiteindelijk ben je op die manier duurder uit dan als je niks zou verhalen op de overtreder. Daar komt vervolgens ook de maatschappelijke schade nog eens bij kijken. Het gros van dit soort overtreders hebben niet het kapitaal om dit soort schades zomaar even te betalen. Als de overheid er dan alsnog op staat dat dit betaalt wordt, dan krijg je vaak te maken met grote schulden die lastig afbetaald worden. Hier zitten legale en mogelijke interventie kosten aan verbonden (zoals een deurwaarder). Dit laat de maatschappelijke kwesties buiten beschouwing. Stel je bijvoorbeeld de volgende situatie voor: Bob (overtreder) is getrouwd met Alice binnen gemeenschap van goederen, en zij hebben twee kinderen. Ze zijn een laag opgeleid gezin met een beneden modaal inkomen. Door te eisen dat Bob de schade betaalt, wordt Alice ook financieel aansprakelijk gesteld waardoor een al worstelend gezin nu nog minder te besteden heeft. Dit geeft een stressvolle thuis situatie aan de twee kinderen wiens academische carrière hier zeer waarschijnlijk onder zou leiden. Dit propageert zich door.

  64. Just chiming in with some context here: Anyone who's intimitely familiar with tech knows that incidents like this are unavoidable. That's why competent companies in the industry operate on a model of "maximum learning" from incidents like these, as opposed to "these things can never happen". The source code is, of course, written by engineers who are intimitely familiar with the code, and are specialist in their respective domains. As they design their software, they're actively looking for ways in which they themselves can crack it. If they can, that's something that needs to be fixed. The above are some of the reasons why breaches like this really aren't as big of a deal as they may seem, and why some of the most prestigious tech companies in the world, who consequently have some of the best security experts in the world, have no issues with using lastpass.

For people on a less exuberant income, the well established rule of thumbs are: * Save 15% of your take home pay * Your house payment should not be more than 25% of your income, your fixed costs should not be more than 50% * Don't let personal spending exceed 25% These are guidelines. They can be played around with. In the current economy 15/75/10 is not uncommon. Try to keep the 15% minimum, though. And always take your employer's retirement match.

  72. To the contrary; both doors are safe. Here's why: Let's name door 1 A, and door 2 B. We can then say denote "A is safe" as "A" and "A is deadly" as "!A" (this is logical notation). We'll use this to translate the statement given to: "If A, then !B". We'll differentiate all 4 cases of door options, and check whether the statement would be true or false. A and B: This is in conflict with "then !B", so the statement fails here. (Statement is False) A and !B: Nice! the exact statement. (Statement is True) !A and B: We only know "If A, then ...", but A is not the case here. (Statement is True) !A and !B: Same as above. (Statement is True) Now we are given the extra piece of information that the statement is false; hence the only option is "A and B"; or translating back to natural language: A is safe and B is safe.

  74. "Multithreading" is a very big word when it comes to plain python. You won't be getting any significant performance gain from doing it. If you want to achieve actual multi-threading in python, the best way I know of is to use Konrad Hinsen's modified Python interpreter together with his Bulk Synchronous Parallel (BSP) module included in his scientific python package: https://bitbucket.org/khinsen/scientificpython The problem is that Python's GIL will protest against any form of parallelisation. I tried to build a package that could deliver a Python based BSP package, but was unable to get the GIL to play nice in any generalised case. Hence, the project is currently on the backburner.

  75. That famous experiment you're talking about is called the double slit experiment and deals with light refraction. Light exist as a particle-wave duality. An electron does have some similarities to this but really can't be compared in such a direct way. A similar experiment has been done with electrons that did indeed show a particle-wave duality but you have to remember that all forms of matter show such a duality, even entire atoms.  There is a thing called an electron wave function, this wave function describes where in space the electron is most likely to reside, seeing as its actual location can't be known.
    2
  76. KC Sutherland Actually you can not. Because by observing the electron you change everything and it all goes to shit. It's called the observer effect. Also, you'd like to see a defence for "the idea" that atoms possess a particle-wave duality? How about bucket-loads of research, which you would've found with a 10 second google search. All matter has a particle-wave duality, that concept is one of the corner stones in quantum mechanics; and you can't disagree with facts. But hey if you'd like proof: http://www.nature.com/nnano/journal/v7/n5/full/nnano.2012.34.html http://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.101.083201 http://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.83.4229 http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10043-005-0363-9 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3104521/ As far as I'm concerned this discussion is over.

  77. Well, when you get so deep in to the science of elementary particles, things get fuzzy, fast. An elementary (also called a point particle) is a particle which has no internal structure, it's not made of anything in the way that protons are made of quarks, it's just that particle. We call a proton a composite particle, these composite particles are far from spatially localized due to the heisenberg uncertainty principle. The wavepacket of the particle always occupies a non-zero volume. With composite particle that isn't really a problem, seeing as that's when you get quantum superpositions of quantum states. An elementary particle however, doesn't have these superpositions or quantum states. Seeing as we describe the size of particles (composite and elementary alike) by the size of its structure, we can define the size of elementary particles to be exactly 0. It doesn't have such a structure because of it's elementary-ness. Experimentally we have found that the radius of an electron is lower than 10^-18 meters (http://cerncourier.com/cws/article/cern/29724 - ctrl+f for electron radius) which falls in line with the value we expect exactly 0 to be. It is extremely difficult to explain these concepts in laymans terms without having you take a course in quantum mechanics. A wave particle duality says nothing about what a particle actually is. All it says is that a particle has properties consistent with both. Wikipedia has a fine article on that concept. (Got to eat dinner so cutting it off)
    2
  78. KC Sutherland It's more to do with the concept of wave functions, really. You see, a particle doesn't have a defined place, seeing as in the quantum theory, everything exist of quanta; small little energy packets. This means that they exhibit a wave properties, and gets a wavepacket that has a non-zero volume in which a particle can exist. You can compare this to a drop of water you release in a can, the drop still exists somewhere in the water and you can define the can as being the region in which the drop can exist, but you can't actually know where it is. The wave packet is the can in this metaphor. The thing with wave packets is that you can calculate probabilities of where the drop of water resides. I'd recommend you to read up a bunch on Wikipedia to get a much clearer image of what's actually going on.

  83. Nobody Lurker Respect should in all cases be dependent on values and actions. Not on age, religion, sex, or any other factor. As we move away from the monarchical habits our ancestors set forth, we become more reliant on the wisdom of the common man. This wisdom however, is at times severely lacking, often due to no fault of the common man but instead due to the system in which they were born. Harlan Ellison said it best: "You are not entitled to your opinion, you are entitled to your informed opinion. No one is entitled to be ignorant." In our current day is becomes important to judge and respect people based on their thoughts, opinions and their arguments. Not based on their stature.

  87. So sad to hear this Gabi... If you think some form of polyamory might be for you, you'll probably really enjoy reading the book "more than two" which delves in to polyamory. It is okay to be (very) controlling, you're already miles ahead because you know this about yourself! The most important thing is to open dialogue and keep talking. If you do that, even very controlling people can have very happy and fruitful open relationships. PS: Be aware that it is not your job to protect others from hurt. If you treat people with dignity, respect and honesty you're doing all you need to. Anything else will often only prolong the pain.

  88. UnaisiFromFiji I totally feel like you're paraphrasing westworld here :P But I will gladly argue against this point. When I was a child, I wanted to live in a house made out of candy, but now, I'd rather not. Bending your standards and changing your wishes does not mean not staying true to yourself (I still LOVE candy!) it just means you're able to change perspective. In fact, I don't know about you, but when I think back to my personality 2 years back, I hardly recognise myself. I change all the time, and my values change with me. I don't think there's something wrong, or indeed untrue to myself about that. Of course it's a free world, and everyone has the right to want whatever they desire. But what people want isn't always what makes them happy or what they need. Of course that doesn't mean they don't have the right to want it; but it does mean that peoples wants should be open to thoughtful critique (otherwise known as well-meaning advice).

  95. This is the explanation I use for adults: When you're a child, your brain has one job; to be a sponge. It is specifically wired so that you take in as much information as possible and store it somewhere. This is achieved by specialized neurons, which will decay over time, leaving the brain more "rigid". Autism is a condition where this decay stops or slows prematurely, leaving the brain in a sponge-like state. As a result, people with autism suck up information around them in the same way a sponge sucks up water; it's an involuntary reflex that can't be helped. Most of the behaviours you've maybe seen from autists stem from an attempt to manage this influx of information.

  100. @ Joey Ruler Try Khan Academy. It's really quite good in its explanations and is designed to educate anyone anywhere so starts from counting sheep to multivariable calculus. @ Basile Saint-Martin The dimensions of the universe are not estimated to be between 7 and 14. That's just some weird thing coming out of the mouths of string theorists who have a very different way of thinking about dimensions than anyone else. @ Mike Jones No it could not. Mathematics doesn't deal with the "real world" but instead assumes a few principles (called axioms) and says: IF these are true THEN this is ALSO true. Example: If we postulate "When it rains, it rains cows." as an axiom, a mathematician will have no problem using this to say "Your car is outside, it will get damaged when it rains." and doesn't care about whether that's the truth. Only about the logic that follows.

  101. @ I am curious: Distance is still defined, just not very useful. @ Ganondorfchampin: It doesn't work in 0D because there exist no spheres in 0D. You see, any sphere needs to - per definition - have a finite radius r. That is to say 0 > r > infty. (This radius can explicitly not be 0 or infty.) Then since a sphere is defined as all points x such that d(0,x) = r, and d(x,x) = 0 for all x (and in specific d(0,0) = 0), no point lies on the sphere and thus the sphere does not exist.

  107. I think you're on very slippery ice when you have any sentence of the form "X is just Y"; it is bound to oversimplify the relation you're trying to establish. For example, I have been committed to the same partner for 6 years and haven't had any secondary relationships, yet strongly identify as poly. Why? Because I value my agency to the point where I feel uncomfortable in any setting where my actions are (implicitly) restricted. You do note a few statements in this discussion that I would like to also touch on: "sex should just be a perk in a relationship": I'm not fully sure how to interpret this, but what jumps out about this comment to me is the phrasing "should just be"; why should is be that way? Is there any physical reason for this, or is it something mental? If it is something mental, why would it be universal? This phrasing often (though not always) indicates that the exclaimer hasn't spent their time thinking about the implications and hence assumes the status quo. "And if it’s loving multiple people, then yes, being polyamorous is not wanting to commit.": I have to assume you mean romantic love here, because I find it hard to grasp that this includes the love one feels for friends. This sentence points to a very narrow definition of commit though, so I want to highlight this. If you mean commit as "committing to exactly one person", then you are right (though it would be rather crudely phrased). However, the way most people read the word commit is as "committing to a relationship", in which case there are a plethora of cases where people commit long term in poly relationships, marrying is not out of the ordinary, nor is having kids. If neither of those are clear commitments to a relationship, then nothing could be.

  108. To the contrary; both doors are safe. Here's why: Let's name door 1 A, and door 2 B. We can then say denote "A is safe" as "A" and "A is deadly" as "!A" (this is logical notation). We'll use this to translate the statement given to: "If A, then !B". We'll differentiate all 4 cases of door options, and check whether the statement would be true or false. A and B: This is in conflict with "then !B", so the statement fails here. (Statement is False) A and !B: Nice! the exact statement. (Statement is True) !A and B: We only know "If A, then ...", but A is not the case here. (Statement is True) !A and !B: Same as above. (Statement is True) Now we are given the extra piece of information that the statement is false; hence the only option is "A and B"; or translating back to natural language: A is safe and B is safe.

  114. B: The same counts for the acrylic ball as before, the cup gets as much extra mass as the mass of the water it displaces. On the left side, the same happens as with the acrylic ball. Except there are 2 differences:  1. the ping pong ball itself has a mass which drives the cup down. 2. The force that drove the acrylic ball upwards (and with it the water downwards) is still present, except now it does not take away from the Force of tention present in the string. Instead, it pushes against a hand which is pushing it down. Effectively increasing the mass of the beaker further. This is why I believe that the ping pong ball will be heavier this time.

  118. urafaget The thing you forget to take in to a count is that elders have gathered their knowledge and experience in a different time. Meaning that many of their decisions will be based upon the past. You might argue that elders have had a long time to obtain the intelligence to adapt to changing circumstances but in fact the opposite is the case, which is due to a diminishing level of neuro-plasticity. While the thing we need to take in to a count when making these decisions is the future. It's similar to the mistake all too many parents make: Namely teaching their children to live in the past, whilst they should be gearing them up for the future instead.

  124. ***** Yeah, I agree with most of your points (aside from the points you make on law related issues). But there's more to it than that. Trump is extremely good at promoting himself, and he's extremely good at campaigning. Saying things that live among primarily the working class (such as climate change is a hoax) gets him votes and controversy, which has eventually won him the presidency. But in the meanwhile, he has a track record of backing action against climate change. He even signed an open letter to Obama and Congress, which can be found here (He's way near the bottom): https://grist.files.wordpress.com/2016/06/nyt.jpg?w=1024&h=1836 So my hypothesis is just that; Trump great at campaigning and even better at controversy, but in the meanwhile he's got an agenda that is a lot more balanced than what he lets on. And Tim: No need to get personal.

  125. ***** Yeah, that's what I'm saying; I think it's all just an act to get people to vote for him, mostly anyway. And it works, because it works on peoples emotions instead of their logic. Appointing people from one of the largest petroleum businesses in the world to energy and environmental protection sounds like a great idea to me, what better way to reduce carbon emissions by these companies than to have them right in the debate to talk about realism. This is probably also a good time to point out that Charles Koch actually believes in climate change but is realistic about it. He believes CO2 should be reduced, but only in ways that make sense and not just methods that end up producing more.

  126. ***** Everyone's in it for the money, that's how the world works. If you have a solution to climate change that costs more than it gains in direct value, it's a bad one. After all, we see noone walking around telling people to not use cars, lights, computers, phones, electricity, heating etc. It's just not worth it. The challenge lies in researching and designing products and methods that are economically beneficial. If a company can spend 2 milion on fitting their roof with solar panels and they pay themselves off in 25 years, most large companies will want them. Decrease the cost to 1 milion and the time to pay themselves off to 10 years and almost all companies will want them. But if you get the panels for free, and only pay a yearly maintenance cost of 10 000 even though they only save you 8 000, you won't want them. I know I wouldn't want them. The key lies in designing solutions that are cheaper, more efficient and have no downsides. If you can't achieve that it's mainly a symbolic gesture. That philosophy is what makes Tesla such a big deal in combating climate change.

  146.  @mal2ksc  Ukraine is a term flowing from the 12th century and "the Ukraine" was used to describe a collection of states, mostly under Russian control. This changed when Ukraine became independent, becoming a United and sovereign nation henceforth known as "Ukraine". When you say that noone bat's an eye at "the United States", that's because although its the name of a country, its borders are well defined since all states live within it. The optics might be different when someone says "the americas" as a way of referring to the US. Similarly, when I'd say that I went to collorado, you'll likely assume the state; whereas when I say I went to "the colarado" you may assume the "unbounded" location of the colarado river instead.

  155. I watched the whole video, and I understand your argument, but it's also mute. Here's why: 1) You explicitly say that you shape recipes around "chunk" ingredients like how much pasta there is in a box of pasta. You then argue that the fluid ingredients change based upon this and make a song and dance about how rounding would screw with the proportions. What you forget to include in your analysis, is that you can just scale a pound to 500 grams and scale all the fluid ingredients by the same amount, without rounding. Suddenly, this argument is fixed. 2) At the end of your video, you mention that a tablespoon in different countries means something else. I'd like to point out two things here. First, this means that for anyone reading your recipe and following along in, say, Europe, who has imperial measuring tools, will still mess quantities like a tablespoon up. Second, these quantities (like the entire imperial system) is already defined in terms of the metric system. 3) Beyond point 2, a much more important argument against imperial recipes is that they are unreliable by virtue of being based on volume. Say we were making brownies and the recipe asks for 1 cup of cocoa powder. If my powder is ground finer than yours, I will be adding more cocoa to my brownies than you will. This also goes for things like rice and pasta, or anything which either has variable size, or variable density. Another example may be brown sugar: Do you just loosely pour it into the cup, or do you compress it? Both are exactly a cup, but both have wildly differing quantities. This is why even US bakers have standardized on the metric system: Expressing ingredients in grams ensures that your brownies and my brownies are exactly the same, even if our ingredients may differ.

  179. For toppling the dominoes I'd use a marble attached to a rigid string (stick) attached to a pivot point so that it may be released at a set point and gravity puts the same energy in the system. Actually, come to think of it it a simpler method would be to use a rigid object (like a strip of metal) to push several lines at once and only measure the difference between lines. The next step would be to find out when the terminal velocity is reached. The method here is probably more up your alley. To measure the actual speed difference I'd intuitively try to film marked dominoes from the top so that when the toppling of them causes the mark to disappear we can use that point for a precise definition of the "front" of the dominoes which should result in a more accurate measurement.

  180. Actually no it wasn't, consciousness is in fact probably energy and energy can interact with the world. In this video, Kaku focuses on resonating an entire brain. I can tell you right now that telepathy will never work that way. All information would be transfered over the strings. The only way it could work is if somehow you could adjust the resonating frequency of your own conscious mind you would be able to effectively tune in to someone. Also, bosonic points out that EVERYTHING is possible.

  182. @ Samuel An interval is not a circle, even in 1 dimension.
    1
  183. Which is why it's not an interval. An (open) interval (a,b) is a collection of points x such that a<x<b. S^0 just has 2 points, -1, and 1. Not the points in between. So he's not right as it is not an interval but the set {-1,1} (pick x = 0, then x does not lie in S^0 but x does lie in [-1,1]) The line segment you seem to have in mind would be the half open line segment [0, 2pi) (or (0, 2pi] ) which in topology may be glued together under an equivalence relation that equates in the following way: x and y are equivalent if and only if x mod 2pi = y mod 2pi. This would result in a space that is topologically equivalent to a circle. That said, it is not actually a circle, but just something that can be made to look like it. (You need distance for a sphere which is not a priori present in a topological space.)

  184. ganondorfchampin Any introductory text book on analysis, or geometry will give you those definitions. The proof is my own. Keep in mind that we're doing maths here, not wishing upon a star. We're not going to be changing the definitions because some other concept doesn't work. This formula is fine for all strictly positive numbers, so that's part of the conjecture.

  186. Ah, but you didn't read carefully here. I never said make definitions, I said change them. Interchanging definitions requires equivalence which in this case is not true. If you want to fight the definitions, be my guest: Give me a formal definition of a sphere and I'll probably be able to disprove it when it calls upon the 0-D case. Note that any useful definition is general: It should be defined in n-dimensions, whether n=0 or n=10. If you need exceptions you haven't got a definition.

  187. Usually, you have very strong arguments for things, but these sound fairly weak to me. Most of them seem to come from a fundamental disagreement: I believe that recipes exist to ensure repeatability. While it seems like you believe recipes exist to teach the cook a dish. In that light, I'd counter-argue the points you made like this: 1. Eye-balling, though great for everyday cooking, has no place in the "formal" system of a recipe; as it decreases reproducibility. 2. This is a valid argument towards the quality of life, but not one towards the quality of the recipe. 3. This is mostly a non-argument. Assuming the worst case of a mixing bowl to which you need to add extra wet and dry ingredients, you're still only left with 1 mixing bowl to wash up (which you'd need to do anyway), and one small measuring bowl. (Dry can be weighed before wet.) The difference in washing up is minimal. 4. You debunked this one yourself. Having 2 scales, one for heavy things, and one for light things, is not an objection when you're comparing the space it occupies to a bunch of measuring cups. Using 2 scales like that also ensures higher accuracy than volume; even in small quantities. 5. This is why I believe we have very different views of recipes. The recipes I write and maintain are after many iterations of trial and error, getting a little closer to perfection every time. They're made for me and my friends, not because I don't know how to make a creme brulee, but because this exact version of creme brulee is the best I have thus far managed to make.

  188.  @uziboozy4540  Unfortunately, a distributed database just improves the reliability of the single point of failure, but does not eliminate it. In situations like this, a startup is often better off using an off-the-shelf database like dynamoDB or even firebase that provides a high availability SLA, often around 99.999%. If, however, your usecase requires an in-house database, and you choose a monolithic database, there are still a plethora of issues that can occur which will hurt the availability of your entire application. Examples of this include network level authentication issues, failure in registering the database, failed upgrades, data corruption, access control failures, and if you're working with PII you're opening an entirely new can of worms which can make maintaining a monolithic database infeasible.

  197. In terms of how to land, I'm a big proponent of software-based landing. The algorithms we've designed since ~2016 till now in the field of reinforcement learning have shown an incredible aptitude at control tasks, way beyond the skill of humans. By writing solid simulation software and training these algorithms within a virtual environment, they can be exposed to many more (risky) situations than a human ever could; at least safely. This can make a landing vehicle piloted by software vastly safer than one piloted by humans. That said, like with any system that has the potential to risk human life, it is incredibly important that this software has appropriate sanity checks and bounds within which it is allowed to operate; and in the case of a descent vehicle, there should always be a way to override the system, and pilots need to be trained for this. A fun tangent: Not all computer operated safety systems should be over-rideable by humans. A glaring example of this exists in the Dutch delta works where storm barriers will close upon a signal of bad weather, and once that signal is passed, the construction (somewhat like a dam) will close. There exists no software or human override. It is designed to be closed by physics alone so that the emotional urge to safe that last boat of people doesn't inadvertently kill thousands.

What I do know is that since prehistoric drawings there have been reports of egg shaped things from the sky, throughout all cultures. I also know that there are some secrets the human race is just not jet ready for. For example; everyone can buy a nuclear bomb in their garage. I can even tell you where to find the schematics..

  203.  @Sanyu-Tumusiime  Nobody is claiming that it's easy. If it were, there wouldn't be so many people living in poverty. But in a world where companies like Google aren't looking at college degrees anymore, and with a massive lack of trades people (plumbing, electrician, etc), the jobs are there. You also don't need to 10x your income. Investing $200 every month will make you a millionaire in 40 years. Sure, 200 bucks is a lot of money when you're living in poverty. That used to be 2 months of food for me... But most people can get that kind of money by working a side hustle or diligently budgetting.

  204.  @freddymaster0057  It sounds like you're arguing that you're like a leaf in the wind; completely helpless and without say of the direction you're going. If you're learning a trade (whatever that might be), ask yourself: What differentiates you from the top earners in that trade? Example: Top welders make 6 figures, even though the average is closer to 35k.

  205.  @freddymaster0057  sure. I even agree with that. But sadly, the world doesn't bend to my whims, so you've got to play the hand you were dealt. Your original post suggested that it was hard to find a job that pays above minimum wage (it's not). Also, allow me to bust another misconception. I make 6 figures nowadays while working 30-40 hours/week. Earning money does not have to come at the cost of your personal life.

  208. ​Hmm, I suppose my job doesn't exist then. But look, screw the arguing on meaningless points. You're clearly in distress, and rightfully so. Having gone through personal bankruptcy myself, I know exactly what it's like to have no money; to the point of some asshat with their desk-job telling you exactly what you can and can't spend money on, and how much. The fact of the matter is that there's only one way out, and it's stressful, it's tiring, and it seems both impossible and pointless at the same time. The first step is to build a habit of budgeting and build an emergency fund. This seems pointless, but you do it to give yourself breathing room. From there it depends on your personal situation, and yes, sometimes that means you need to work on weekends to get extra cash. At $15/h, you'd need to work an extra 4 hours per week to reach $200/month. Are you telling me that's impossible? I can't give a lot of insight without knowing your exact situation, but if you want, I'd be happy to take a look at your exact situation with you and help make a plan to get out. Just pop me an email at a1350997 [at] gmail.

  221.  @Psych2go  Originally (afaik), the technique was suggested to be used with particularly volatile employees, as a way to reduce that volatility by obfuscating the critique while still providing it. I'm not sure why it became so popular, but in my experience, the compliment sandwich is more focussed around managing the emotional state of the critiquer than the person being critiqued. As noone wants to feel like the bad guy, it becomes a defense mechanism to obfuscate your message along the lines of "I really like X about you, though perhaps you could do Y better, but Z is also really great!". The rapid-fire barage of topics almost turns the critique into a "hot potato": The shorter it is and the less focus it gets, the less you have to feel like the bad guy. (And noone can blame you for not having given critique.) Unfortunately that also means the message is likely to get lost, or you come off as being deceptive / ingenuine. When it comes to managing the emotional state of the critiqued, I don't think I've heard anyone recount a situation in which the compliment sandwich was used on them, and they appreciated it. Though if this does not align with your experience, I'd love to learn about it! Particularly around what you appreciated about the technique being used.

Retro reflectors are simple, they effectively bounce the light back in exactly the same direction of which it came from. You can calculate exactly where to point your laser and you will get a response. I got to test this first hand in college. Also; research is derived from French meaning "to seek for things".

  233. The explanation I use (for adults) to explain what autism is, is this: When you're a child, your brain has one job; to be a sponge. It is specifically wired so that you take in as much information as possible and store it somewhere. This is achieved by specialized neurons, which will decay over time, leaving the brain more "rigid". Autism is a condition where this decay stops or slows prematurely, leaving the brain in a sponge-like state. As a result, people with autism suck up information around them in the same way a sponge sucks up water; it's an involuntary reflex that can't be helped. Most of the behaviours you've maybe seen from autists stem from an attempt to manage this influx of information.
