Yea the theory was not really much before this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fission#History).

There really couldn't be much theory on this before 1900's anyway because of our understanding of the atom/nucleus.

Here is the arxiv paper for those interested: https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.05428

NIST Cybersecurity Framework is a good collection of resources.

If you have a math/physics/chem background this is a good book [0]. I used it in my grad course on spectroscopy, it does a decent job walking through the concepts step by step. Spectroscopy is fascinating though, I used Raman Spectroscopy for my research, the amount of information you can get out of some lasers, mirrors, and gratings is amazing.

This game has come up twice now in my online reading in the last few days. Smithsonian Magazine covered this game and some others. Worth a read through if you are interested in Senet. [0]

This one is really slick, I wonder how it works with larger data sets. I'll check it out later. Geojson.io is a nice one but I second your comment, anything on the larger side it just crashes for me. I end up just using QGIS with a text editor open for the geojson editing. It ends up being a game of trial and error that gets very tedious.

I think part of the issue is that it is on the OS level rather than browser level on a specific website but I agree, they are all shady.

I don't think it solves everything but it is why I like the concept of B-Corps. I think the growth at all costs concept is at odds often with other important factors but we can adjust. I think B-Corps are a good start at re-aligning our evolving needs and our existing systems.

Yea it seems like this person has a history of potentially controversial claims and not always the best science [0][1]

I don't know if the density part is really relevant. One the whole, they are comparable. Country to US it varies, and States (US) to other countries it varies even more [0]. I have lived in several very densely populated cities and they all still do porch drop off. I think this may just fall down to a cultural difference than anything else.

I was looking into Wyze right about the time the server leak happened [0] so I moved on. But they do have good prices.

I agree entirely with how you described the search experience. I would often try three or four ways to get a website I wanted back in the day. I am finding myself learning what search engines I like more for specific types of searches. Some times that means google, some times DDG, and who knows throw Bing int here.

There is a good Tech Crunch overview of the payloads [0]

Ah, should have just linked right to the announcement but it is posted now: https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/identity-security/int...

It is a concern that they also hold. They are working on some sort of fix [0] (I warn you their website is annoying). One quote from their website:

"The LEGO Group aims to send zero waste to landfill by 2025, and in 2018 recycled 93% of all waste from our operations. Additionally, 100% of all plastic waste produced during the moulding of LEGO® bricks was recycled. This includes reusing some of the plastic resin in our own processes, as well as sending some of the waste to suppliers to be recycled and turned into other plastic products."

This is just an overview of their plans but I also remember seeing an interview with their CEO talking about how many different types of materials are trying to address the waste.

Places like that do exist but I agree they should be more common. DC food halls often double as market places, but other cities do seem to lack that side of the hall.

I think that there is for sure an aspect of underdeveloped skills. That could come from lack of interest, background/culture/environment, or any other number of reasons sure. But I think a bigger aspect is how psychologists often phrase it (sure it is wishy washy) but where do you get your energy. Some people are going to be more comfortable with people around and others feel more relaxed alone. That can and most likely will change over any individuals life but it is important to recognize what environments to go to when you need a recharge. And yes, people love to self-diagnose and take surface level quizzes, but this also does seem to be a real phenomenon different personalities have and understanding your own and others personalities will improve everyone's social interactions. So I agree, we should all work on being with ourselves as well as how to interact with others. But we also need to know, when feeling stressed, if we should retreat to a quiet room or a crowed get together.

And just a last point is that it seems like this silent book club is doing what you suggest, it is an introvert going to a place they feel more comfortable which will in time develop their social skills.

Two articles discussing this:

Thank you for this, this makes me happy. I always forget to occasionally explore the about:config after a few updates.

Not OP but I think some people think that Microsoft might make it more difficult to use other services with GitHub rather than just streamline it for Microsoft. I don't think strengthening Microsoft + GitHub integration is a problem and is probably smart for them to do. They just should not and probably won't make it prohibitively difficult to integrate with say AWS or GCP.

I agree with this, both are great books to read and interesting perspectives. I am sure most people have seen this but those who haven't you should check out (https://io9.gizmodo.com/5890861/read-aldous-huxleys-review-o...). Orwell sent a copy of 1984 to Huxley and the response to the book is an interesting read.

I find WSJ's coverage of physics is generally bad. I don't have super concrete examples, but most WSJ quantum articles I read jump right into misconceptions or generalizations to the point of false statements, or are so vague and unnecessary there are not false (or true) statements to be found because it just uses the word quantum a lot and doesn't say anything.

Yea, I agree. I like my S8 and I have hopped back and forth between nexus style and Samsung S# phones but with the amount of bloat I get, having to force google launcher, and slower update roll-outs I think I am done with Samsung for awhile.

Carbs and sugars are (almost, but obviously with nuances) interchangeable in the way I am using them, from the bio-chem sense. I do see what you are saying and see where this back and forth is coming in. No, there is absolutely no reason to eat a big 250g spoon of table sugar. As for Alzheimer's you are seeing more work around diet in general and the link to aging. It just takes awhile, I don't think it has to be a conspiracy(of course it could be, there is a lot of money in carbs). You are seeing some of these findings move from academia into public consumption reporting [1] https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2018/01/the-start... [2] https://www.aarp.org/health/brain-health/info-2017/foods-dec...

Either way, I think this thread has run its' course. I will probably not respond anymore but I'll leave with this: I agree sugars should also be talked about, we generally consume way too many in a day but I take issue with ranking basic nutritional building blocks because they are all important and we would be in trouble if we took one out. But have a great day, always good to have a little internet back and forth.

Nutrition is a field, from the science perspective, that does not work in absolutes. It is too complex of a field for us to really pin anything down for populations or individuals. That is why we as individuals have to find a way to tune it, ideally with expert input. That is why I take issue with statements like "objectively worse," which is really the only reason I commented in the first place. But I would like to see where you are getting 30g because everything I have seen (we'll include [1] link but my quick googling brought up comparable results) puts sugars, combined complex and simple, at ~40% to 65% of your daily diet. It is often quoted at about ~200g to 300g. Yes, people over-do their sugars, yes people think that eating all the fruit is healthy when in fact it is still a bunch of sugar, but in the end a body with moderate activity needs carbs to break down for quick energy. It would be inefficient for our bodies to go into fat stores or slow-burn protein every time we need energy.

You can (and should) say the exact same thing about sugars as you did about fats. There is a healthy way to eat sugars, fats, and proteins. They are all important and what it usually comes down to is the age old saying "all things in moderation."

I actually think that is pretty solid variable naming. dependentVariable_flatTax_agree_wave1 isn't the worst but also the researchers are looking at this so long it makes sense for them to shorten. I think pretty vs usable code is one of the reasons researchers don't publish their code as frequently as they should. Writing a paper is already a huge time sink, then having the need to clean up variable names, comment, all of that stuff would be great but they also are trying to publish in a timely fashion. No matter what, I'm not really agreeing or disagreeing with you, just a thought. I do agree with you though, I am glad there is more and more of a trend to publish everything involved in the research process.

The Art of Electronics is a great reference guide and there is also a workbook(https://www.amazon.com/Learning-Art-Electronics-Hands-Course...) and student guide (https://www.amazon.com/Art-Electronics-Student-Manual/dp/052...) that you can buy as a companion books. It can be dense at times though.

Here is a link to the paper they reference (https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/employment/automation-skills-u...)

It is interesting that one of their findings is that the risk of automation as it relates to age is U-shaped. They state that teenage jobs are at more risk than more senior jobs but they believe that this could be helpful transition younger workers into more senior jobs more smoothly.
