I think the whole point of the study is exploratory. Looking for commonality in a search of a cause or suite of factors instead of making assumptions. Maybe it is a physical phenomenon like adrenal fatigue or brain injury, maybe it isnt; t

I am running the Pi from a solid state hdd as I don't trust the sd cards. ATAK/FreeTak does run well on it. Funny you mention LoRa as I am using exactly that. I have a bunch of the TTGO T-beams (915 MHz) that I have paired up w

I was originally trying to set it up as the Kiwix wifi hotspot. But after playing with that I decided I wanted the pc to have more than one function so I switched to regular Linux with Kiwix. So now instead of just Kiwix; I also have my ha

I have been tinkering with a cyberdeck for a while now for off-grid usage, so this is a nice find for the hardware side. My main battle lately has been building out the software side; primarily Kiwix ( https://www.kiwix.org ).

Purposeful mixing or mild randomization of search results also seems like a decent way to help obscure the ranking algorithms to help thwart reverse engineering.

YT now has channel "memberships" built in that mimic Patreon. Since it is integrated into YT you get a streamlined perks platform along with a special icon noting you are a "member" of the channel when commenting.

> academia is a reflection of how wealthy and educated the population is This is correct, but that doesn't mean causation. Look at any civilization and look at what came first wealth or academia. It seems to me that wealth creates

I agree. I wasn't using it as de-facto; rather as an idea that may calm the panic of "OMG They have more X than we do!" "They have more X than we do" only works to determine an outcome if all other things are perf

Not to sound like an anti-intellectual, but it could be a mistake to assume that innovation comes from academia. Nassim Nicholas Taleb has a convincing chapter (I think it is Chapter 13: Lecturing Birds to Fly) in his book "Antifragi

Think about what you just said there. Imagine you are talking about governmental regulatory agencies and banks and re-read the same sentence.

That seems to be the easiest scheme to implement. Most other systems will spin up a unique hyperlink and a require a passcode. By building in something that simple, Google could really have a winner on their hands with this.

He meant that you could have sold the iPhone on ebay for $500. You could have then bought a Nexus 5 for $400. You would then have an Nexus 5 and $100. By just smashing the iPhone (as they did here) you just get a Nexus 5.

As a former Recon Marine I can attest that there are two reasons that people would drop out or be dropped for selection. The first wave of drops is how you describe. It is people that don't have the basic physical performance to continue.
