Kim is another good one - I've met several Korean men named Kim.

Though I'm not 100% sure they weren't using their family name as their everyday identity name (the Kims I met were not related).

  > Placebo doesn’t mean literally a sugar pill. It means something that has a positive effect based on perception.

It literally means "that which satisfies", from the same root as the word pleasure.

EDIT: Three downvotes in 54 minutes? Here's a source backing up my claim:

Are you an expert in the field?

After a broken foot, my mother was prescribed a vibrating Bone Healing machine. I thought it might be placebo, maybe not.

That's the code on my luggage.

Not really. One example image has Capella, Rigel, and Sirius clearly marked. But even with that, I can not make out Orion, probably the most recognizable constellation behind the big dipper.

I would absolutely love a terminal Stellarium alternative, but this isn't it.

I always try to convine my comments to the content of the article, but the captcha here has gone beyond all sense. It's presenting gen AI images of household items and asking me to identify e.g. the curtains... To prove that I'm human. It's literally a game of "guess what was in the prompt that generated this"... To prove that I'm human.

  > But the public also lost all interest in the process, some can't even be bothered to vote once every other year....

In the 1920s the German speaking world got a book whose first three chapters just hammer in how important it is for the average citizen to take an interest in his local politics. That book was subsequently banned by almost every European country in the decades since. I'm the only person I know who has personally read it, even though it is one of the most derided books in history.

I highly recommend the first three chapters to anybody who thinks they don't need to understand their local politics.

But you could identify them as ads and understand their purpose.

That will soon likely no longer be the case.

  > ... more Ads

And they will be so severely targeted to you that you won't be able to identify that they are designed to influence your purchasing or voting decisions. And they will be of production quality rivaling the highest budget films - rendered on your own hardware.

Most cutting edge technologies through history did not have near-peer widely-deployed open competitors. This technology does.

Deuteronomy 24:14-15 says not to oppress a poor hired worker and requires his wages to be paid the same day, before sunset.

No.

I answered one incorrect statement. Why try to pile the world on a single statement.

  > There is no reason we aren’t working seven days a week beyond people fighting not to.

Religious edict - most prominently the Sabbath in Western civilization - have mandated a day of rest every seventh day for at least 3000 years.

I would say they his theory is quite supported by my own experience - which is a form of ad hoc experiment.

  > It's clear that cyber is a touchy subject right now.

And that's why we need models that understand "cyber" or application and data security. The offensive models are powerful, and they are in the hands of script kiddies now. The models writing our software and designing our cloud infrastructure had better understand these issues as well, just to avoid coding in vulnerabilities.

Because it was there

None of the wealthy people I know had wealthy parents. Most of them had parents who didn't even have shoes for significant periods of time.

How about taking the full "do nothing" approach and leave the carbon under the seabed? Where it won't trap IR from escaping the atmosphere and adding energy to the atmosphere, driving ever-more energetic weather events.

How much oil would they have to burn for fuel to do that? Neither option sounds good for the environment.

Thank you! That was a delve into a topic I wasn't expecting.

  > the Bouba evokes curvature because it makes me think of a Baobab tree.

Or a bubble.

It's from a PIE root and found in one form or another in most European languages.

Thank you.

Would it need a standard bearing on only one side of the sprag clutch, or should I double them up on both sides?

Thank you

Is that why all politicians are suddenly turning to the left?

Squel the tires every few meters? Like an AC Cobra.

What is that one-way bearing TFA mentions. I understand its purpose, but where does one acquire such a bearing?

  > inability to bank to the right side is perfect.

That disadvantage is balanced by the advantage of not having to open the kickstand at every frequent stop.

Yes, exactly, signing the transmission is not enough.

You've just added a nontrivial amount of memory usage as well that will look a lot like a memory leak as it grows.
