> It's a joke that NZ would sell out its own citizens like that.

DotCom is not a NZ citizen, he's a resident.

I'd say a more important side effect that ought to be researched is possible thyroid tumors, including cancer.

> In studies with rodents, Ozempic® and medicines that work like Ozempic® caused thyroid tumors, including thyroid cancer. It is not known if Ozempic® will cause thyroid tumors or a type of thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) in people.

My cat didn't knew how to jump over the chain link fence until he saw a neighbor's cat do it.

But the point of this study is about extremely difficult problems that an animal couldn't solve by itself, unlike my fence that the cat would have probably solved by brute force given a certain time.

Some, but not all, precedents are absolutely legally binding in the French system, they have the same force as the law (unless a later law contradicts them).

If anything, learning jazz improved my notation reading skills by making me think faster.

Learning by ear is the best by far, and we live in a period where we can listen to every music every produced. When I learned music, music wasn't as available so you had to learn the pieces the hard way.

There is also the problem that human memory has limitations, and if I stop playing something, I will forget it after a couple of weeks, so again musical notation is very helpful.

> You're really looking for patterns on the staff rather than the exact pedantic notes that are present in the notation.

Exactly. Playing the exact tune becomes boring after a while; music is a fun creative exercise for me, so the notes and chords are a general direction, not a precise roadmap. If I wanted a perfect interpretation, I'd listen to the recorded piece instead of play it.

Wild speculation: some of the AI-generated headshots sold by the company were used for fraudulent activities.

Real outrage: how can a company take $80K of someone else's money ("I won't get back"). Decline to do business, sure, hold until an investigation is done, why not? But this is outrageous. Did they refund it to the buyers at least?

> the court should have a higher standard when determining legal standing for cases like this.

No, the court should have the same, identical standard for all cases. Equal access to the legal system and predictability are tenets of the rules of law.

> But what is the purpose of removing it?

The cache links had a near-zero click and that ruined the engagement metrics of a project manager?

If you really believe that you claims are legitimate, you should sue. And if the courts find that you are right, then they will remove him from the ballot. That's how it's supposed to work.

Google doesn't make Android phones beyond the niche Pixels. If they did, there would be a solid argument that they'd be the most successful phone company, because they'd own 80% of the market share.

There are many markets in Paris, they're open one day a week and most of them are over by 1 pm.

What if the mice isn't dead but barely?

More seriously, what happens if the company closes shop? Would the cat flap keep working? Will it keep detecting dead animals? What happens if the internet connection is down while I'm on a one-week vacation, will my cats still be able to enter the house or would they die of hunger outside? Because they won't eat the mice, they just hunt them for the fun of it, the little cruel beasts!

What is free will when my life depends on the actions of others? If the water that I drink is filled with nanoparticles that will result in cancer, why I am suffering from the free will of the others who decided to put them there? That means I'm not the subject under test, I'm a NPC.

So now we have established that there are perfect beings (angels), subjects under tests (those who have free will) and NPCs (those who suffer from the actions of the aforementioned subjects).

If you believe in an all-powerful God, it follows that he/she/it also created the conditions which allows cancer to exist and chose to do nothing to prevent it (because the opposite contradicts its/his/her all-powerfulness).

Ordered, thank you!

Thank god for procrastination!

I assume the parent was ironic since 4K/Dolby Vision versions of top Netflix shows are actually released by pirates on the very day they are available on the platform.

To break a habit, you have to replace it with a different habit. Willpower is one of the ways to do that, but others are more successful on more people.

The reason why so many people hire a coach for physical activities, diet or even life decisions isn't so much that these are extremely specialized domains that need high expertise; it's that having someone make the decision, i.e. not relying on willpower, is often more effective and easier. It also leads to accountability: you have to show results to someone else, not just to your brain. And for most people, that's also more effective and easier than willpower.

Telling people to get over themselves and take charge is generally a well-meaning, but often misleading call to action. And after a couple of failures, the lesson they'll learn is that they're weak and ineffective and there's nothing that can be done about it, which compounds the problem instead of solving it.

Ignition! is the book that reconciled me with chemistry.

From the accompanying article:

> Our guess is that this unknown hardware feature was most likely intended to be used for debugging or testing purposes by Apple engineers or the factory, or that it was included by mistake.

This screams backdoor by some powerful actors.

Assuming the code is written using English words. Here in France it's not rare to come across a codebase that uses French naming for variables and functions, or even a mix of English and French:

  void deleteCartes(Map[] cartes)

The engineers didn't invent the tech in their garage on their own, though. And I don't know if your narrative reflects the reality, but if it is, "creating" the same product for a different company even when you know that the product is patent-protected is ethically questionable. My position would be different if they launched a start-up based on the tech.

It's not more relevant.

Also, it's against the guidelines:

> please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.

> Once we have that, the others have a model to copy.

That is a bold expectation. Some schools will have an incentive to just have as much pupils pass the exam by lowering the bar, other will be incentivized to just teach the bare minimum, others won't have enough money if the model of excellence is expensive (and it probably will be).

And the model that applies to, say, a child who grew up with college-educated parents won't necessarily apply to the child from a blue collar family.

That is just to say that this is a hard problem. My intuition is that the only way to achieve the best education (excluding the case of hypergifted people) seems to be by throwing money at it through personalized education and tutoring and solving the child's other life problems, i.e. the wealthy kid model, but obviously that's not realistic when it comes to mass education. But maybe mass education (at the level we seem to expect from it) isn't realistic.

Or maybe we should reduce the number of subjects taught in school to math, language and physical education.

Has the title changed or was this submission title editorialized?

The title that I see is "How Much Vitamin D Do You Need to Stay Healthy?".

As someone much more effective at learning though text than by watching videos, I really appreciate the creators who do the additional effort of publishing a written version.

I take it prosecutors are far more lenient when you're faking a phone UI to always show a full signal or surreptitiously switch to a new phone before the previous one runs out of memory and needs a restart, rather than pretending a 20-ton killing machine can drive itself up a hill.

The law will apply on a case by case basis, it's not a decision to force all gig workers to be treated as employees. TFA gives the criteria by which each case will be evaluated.

Cats are very much social creatures. They can share activities (or, more often, lack thereof) with others. But they're not pack creatures like dogs.
