> There are any number of tools that will generate me a pretty and useful database schema diagram if I point them at a relational database.
I'd even go so far as to design database schema with these ER diagram tools in mind: if the automatic diagram is messy then that's more-often-than-not a code-smell in need of refactoring (before being hit with production data).
So a typical 80db commercial drone flying at 300m (CAA minimum) would be 50db at ground level (closest point), or about a loud conversation (but less than quiet road traffic).
I'd corrupt the quote slightly to factor informational effects of propaganda:
"a wealth of [conflicting] information creates [an apathy] of attention and a need to [withdraw] that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it."
In this way, information sources can destroy attention rather than foster efficient allocation (which is hard work).
So the only hangover from bad parties is that the party ends?
The biggest, baddest parties will always draw the popular crowd, and the same DJs will know better when to quietly slip out the back door with bags full.
How does a well-regulated party compete against that without calling for more regulation?
Linux keeps track of "credit" for entrophy pool sources.
Anyone can write to /dev/random - this mixes data into the entrophy pool but it won't be "credited" as securely increasing /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail . https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Dev/Entropy
If the point of /dev/random is to provide crytographically secure random numbers, then some level of paranoia is needed for determining which sources are "credited" for initializing the pool. https://lwn.net/Articles/760121/
> Creating more money steals value from everyone who has traded their work for money, and creating less of it adds value.
Conversely, creating more debt (as is with QE) adds value to everyone who has borrowed to invest. At some point though (usually through bankrupcy) this becomes inflationary.
It is inflation that steals value from producers who trade work for money: remedied only by demanding more money this is a vicious cycle.
> Persistent inflation generally happens when an economy runs out of people.
While there is a short run tradeoff between unemployment and inflation, it has not been observed in the long run. The Phillips curve was contradicted the 1970's and flatlined in the 2010's.
Persistent inflation happens when central banks are no longer trusted to manage M2.
Indeed, maybe it's about time advertisers got back to sponsoring quality content their target audience enjoys, rather than direct marketing through the back door on the lowest common denominator.
> Drug tests generally produce false-positive results in 5% to 10% of cases and false negatives in 10% to 15% of cases, new research shows.
Most often, some tests have high sensitivity (no false negatives) whilst others have high specificity (no false positives). (Rarely both.)
So, for example, this is the reason why a positive RT-PCR test has more weight than a negative test because of the test’s high specificity but moderate sensitivity.
Lumping together false positive stats (for low-specificity tests) with false negative stats (for low-sensitivity tests) is misleading at best.
Perhaps I wasn't clear enough on this point: copyright of a derivative work is distinct (but not inseparable) to the copyright of the original work.
So portions of a derivative work are covered by the original copyright, and other portions may be under a distinct copyright as a derivative work, and several copyrights may apply to a work as a whole.
In the case of a Huffman transform, the transformed work does not meet the "creativity" requirements to be eligible for copyright, over that of the original works.
