How so? I didn't see any statements from Ellison cited in the article.

Some humans who are not trained that curiosity produces beneficial outcomes are often not all that curious. It is difficult to know what is truly innate vs. the result of conditioning. It is also difficult to know what is the result of an

Same. Around then, I requested MySQL and was told no for the same reasons you were. So I implemented my database as flat files and proceeded to use up all the inodes a few weeks later on a large call center server used for interviewing an

Wholeheartedly agreed w/@danShumway - wish I read this before typing my own response. I might have saved myself some time :)

That's not entirely true. In fact, the Sound-Harmony-Melody-Rhythm-Growth model for analysis explicitly calls it out as a critical building block of the music that we hear and experience. Like any subject, it takes some study to get

The issue is with how many will interpret that headline. People who already want to believe that 100% of the vaccine research is a sham will run with this. The burden is on BJM to be extremely clear if they don't want to add to the m

As best we can tell, no one has "permanent acquired immunity". 36% of those infected never develop antibodies. Of the remaining 64% that do, most lose their antibodies in less than a year.

I'm important, but my importance is fully decentralised. It means almost nothing :)

I think you spelled "AI Agents by DoorDash" incorrectly.

The solution, of course, is to give our virtual avatars virtual smartphones that they carry around in their virtual pocket, running virtual versions of Insta, FB, their text message apps, and even their calling app. You could do all of tho

Technically, that's only a HIPAA violation if you're a provider or are handling data given to you by a provider.

Remember that half the population loves the government, half hates it, and they think both one another are evil incarnate. Logic breaks down a bit when that kind of irrational vitriol enters the equation.

About 10-15% of the opinion addresses the issues of whether or not the university had "substantial control" over the vehicle for harassment and if it displayed "deliberate indifference" in not taking appropriate steps to

Hate speech that encourages violence is illegal in the US. General hate speech that doesn't include threats or incitement of illegal activity, on the other hand, seems to be celebrated these days.

If the speech in question was determined to be a true threat, blocking exposure to the speech could have serious unintended consequences. It could people unaware of specific threats and expose them to harm. Ignorance is bliss...until it g

I work with this type of data and I assure you that the results are quite plausible. The original hypothesis was tested against US census data. See "Experiment B" here: https://dataprivacylab.org/projects/id

Well, they've got the "failing" part right. It's the "over" that's taking a while ;)

I'd argue that both scales do indeed "start" and "end" on the same note - middle C. If I were playing an arpeggio that spanned both staves, I think I'd find your method harder than simply moving in thirds from

I wonder if they meant that you shouldn't pay providers until things are sorted out. I agree that you need to pay your premiums, but doctors and hospitals will just send you to collections. Still not a great option, but it does keep

Don't forget that PowerBI also has R embedded/integrated. There are some limitations in how you can use R to produce custom visualizations, but this tight integration is a real plus, in my opinion. Combined with the Excel-like f

Is it more prevalent because we have hard data showing it is, or do we think it is more prevalent because we typically speak with more people in tech because we're in tech and have more experience with them? I am now a few years post-d

It's a great question. I think it drops the barrier for individuals who don't want to spend time learning other languages or concepts. What's a Dispatcher and why is it important for the UI? Some of these developers may ne

Did you figure it out? If not, you may want to try choosing "All processes, hierarchically" from the View menu in Activity Monitor.

I second this. I'm writing this on a late 2011 MBP w/8GB RAM and an after-market 1TB SSD. I use it primarily for developing and testing data-driven applications (big data, medium data, small data). I occasionally run Windows an

Run a trace on your database and watch the queries Tableau actually runs while building your worksheets and dashboards. It's doing a lot more than you think.

Not to mention the fact that over fertilizing will often reduce crop yields. The idea that the runoff of fertilizer products into groundwater, streams, lakes and oceans must be the result of over fertilization is false. It's the re

Agreed, and it helps to have 2 backups of all your data using different techniques/products. I run a local backup to cheap disk, network backup to remote location, and I suppose my remotely hosted svn is my third backup of most assets I re

I wrote a very nearly identical letter. After closing my account, they continued to send mr marketing spam with a broken unsub link. I had to write another letter requesting to not receive their spam.
