I agree with the OP a little. Central repository models have advantages but they've always seemed like short term benefits in exchange for long term costs. Things like the app store, in for profit scenarios, seem like…
Editor and former professor here. Pay to publish imho always seemed to have a perverse incentive structure to me. Reminds me of the "advertisement" journals you used to see. The way I see this headed is academic…
I agree but there are many varieties that could meet and have met the criteria for public sales, except for current trends in appearance or taste. It's really remarkable how canalized apple markets have become, when…
So sad to hear it's gone. There might have been some interest in propagating it, if for no other reason than cross breeding. Curious about the taste. Wolf River apples can be very large, but they're not dark, at least…
Speaking from personal experience, it's impossible to find anyone who wouldn't be labeled as unbiased in this area. There are too many turf wars, government sanctioned monopolies, and rent seekers for anything but that…
This standard sentiment seems to me to be a machiavellian justification for the status quo and for not trying to improve anything. The costs of the problems are the problem, not whether they are eventually resolved…
Interesting read that loops full circle to classic AI debates. I was frustrated a bit by the dismissal of probability theory, though, as if Bayes theory solved it, and by extension, and probability as a whole could be…
Isn't this basically what syncthing is (same functionality as wormhole, with gui)? I also thought I've used a gui dat protocol client to transfer files but maybe it was only in the terminal.
I came here to say something similar. You're right to point out baking powder, because it's a mess. Think it's all the same chemically? Nope. Different brands use very different chemicals that can affect lift, and it…
Plausible deniability must be assumed with morally controversial actions on the part of institutions, especially government security institutions. One way to deal with this is context. In this case the pattern of Russia…
As a native English speaker with Dutch colleagues, I've always thought Dutch was remarkably close. Once you kinda figure out pronunciation patterns a lot of it is very similar. Written Dutch is the only language I…
The untold story in these things is the role of forced EMR regulations. I've worked in healthcare for some time, as does my spouse and my family. These record systems used to all be developed in-house systems, fully…
Are you suggesting dd is about local minima sort of? Like if you extended the risk: parametrization curve out you'd start to see overfitting again?
My initial intuition is there's limitations in test samples that are used, in the sense they only have so much information. At some point overfitting is likely to manifest not in test risk per se, but in random…
The vaccination debate makes me sad and pessimistic. I am an avid proponent of vaccination in general but also of people's right to refuse them. It's remarkable that things like Tuskegee are so quickly forgotten, and…
But why phone? Why not something more specifically set up for the purpose, like Google authenticator or 2fa keys?
Another one in a similar situation. My wife is also very practical and socially conscious. We looked into moissanite really seriously and almost bought a custom ring with it made by a local artist/metalsmith we were…
This has been on my mind a lot lately. It's not just risk changes, it's also variety changes which are also important. Near us there's nice, challenging playgrounds, but their designs have become homogeneous. The older…
Or Briar or Ricochet, or something developed in house. Honestly, the thing that's so perplexing to me is why so many people in these roles would be using Whatsapp at all for these things. It's like SoS mentality (to use…
This extends everywhere, including licensing laws and so forth.
The title should read "Somehow, the messaging mess is about to get even worse." The mess isn't about Android. It's always mystified me why an open, cross platform messaging protocol hasn't become as widespread as SMS or…
So, I'm with you. But I'm also the person leaving the brand-new items at the thrift store. The thing is, I'm not the one buying the items usually. They're gifts. And it doesn't matter how many times I tell family not to…
Somewhere I saw a version of Inconsolata with the slashed zero. There was a site at one time that collected all the Inconsolata permutations in one place, but I don't have it offhand.
To experiment, find some chanterelles, lobster or porcini, and shitake mushrooms. These should be available fresh or dried in many large groceries in bigger cities. Make some dishes with each or try a taste. Huge huge…
Eh as a college professor something has changed, not just the population. My experiences parallel the GP. I noticed it first with filename conventions; it rapidly changed from there. This is in the same population of…
