As someone who plays a lot of online multiplayer, there's a few issues. A lot of games do have skill based matchmaking systems (aka SBMM) in place. Ideally, this would lead to people having a 50% win rate which is just unacceptable to

There's been enough follow-up on this case to come to the conclusion that he fabricated the data. The Hartford insurance company's statement contradicts his claim. The PNAS study was retracted after the Data Colada article and the

We never quite did enough in NYC. One gym in Williamsburg stayed open even during March and just kept paying the fine. There just hasn't been that much enforcement. We came to the conclusion that we experienced a real lockdown instead

+1 to pandering in mining/oil. The field really felt like a fraternity (House SPE), where ideas only moved as fast as the old guard felt like it. I also felt like a necessary skill as an academic in the field was vetting ideas early fo

Could be a reference to "geoengineering" patents like Myhrvold's StratoShield, but he is a huge patent troll so I doubt that development is far along.

Yeah I've seen this kind of pocket experimented with a lot in techwear. These Y-3 pants have a great side pocket: https://media.yoox.biz/items/36/36876259pl_14_d.jpg I've found it super useful.

Technically SA wouldn't be the only country in the area to be able to produce a bbl under $40, but as you and others have echoed, that's not the whole story.

9-10 years ago. Spanish Harlem during peak stop and frisk era/doctrine. What I remember most was how routine it all was for everyone involved. Driver would sometimes pull the car up on kids drug raid style, swerving into the sidewalk.

Grew up in Harlem though not black. While I'm sure there are good police out there, broken windows policies effectively act as a safe haven for a subset of cops to enforce arbitrary (usually racial) bias whenever they feel like it. The

Used to be in the oil and gas space. One of the biggest issues with orphaned wells is that local enforcement is so comically lax. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/05/11/orphaned-oil-wells-... For examp

I noticed that and I do think it is nice. I have to extract and transcribe long sequences, so it would be nice to have the audacity label track feature to bookmark/label a bunch of sections and then output them as individual files name

I would love the ability to label and extract sections like in audacity! That’s the only thing missing from my use case

Not sure about the Russia and China routes but the Busan-Shimonoseki ferry is pretty impractical. 13 hrs and about as expensive as a flight. More if you consider train costs from Shimonoseki.

What ever happened to the OpenAI/universe GTA sandbox? Is there any reason Rockstar shouldn’t support research using their game?

Thinking, Fast and Slow is good if you like pop-sci, but has aged like milk if you are into the science. I respect Kahneman for walking back some of his claims since but he needs to publish a revision.

My experience was similar to the author's in that I grew up around family members who were in advanced stages. The possibility of inheritance stares you in the face whenever they're around. If there was a conclusive test, I would

The parent states: > "no evidence of efficacy" does not imply evidence of no efficacy, and in fact the uncertainty in this study is quite large. The sample size is small enough that it would be very hard for this study to detec

I'm so sorry for your loss. Dementia and schizophrenia are present in my family as well and caring for those in the later stages has been really hard. I found myself torn by the same question of whether to test for genetic predispositi

You and the other commenter are correct. Just meant that temp ~120F as a reference. Have lived in a calcite water area, no fun.

When you get around to milling the buckwheat, see if you can get some coarse ground flour from both the kernel and husk. With it you can make inaka (country style) soba, which is really quite special. Buckwheat makgeoli is also easy and tas

Hot water encourages hydration of the flour and gluten development, resulting in a more elastic/homogeneous dough. IMHO, the hottest water from the tap should be good enough for that purpose.

The irony is that tar sands are abundant and can be seen on the surface but are comprised of the most pipe-clogging useless shit (bitumen) that nothing short of an extra large effort would make them viable.

Norway is an outlier in that the Government Pension Fund Global was founded explicitly to avoid rent-seeking behavior and corruption. Every other system to date was initially created to facilitate the opposite, US included. How many oil com
