    1. The OmniStudio Tracking Service is an event-tracking service that captures details of actions that users perform

      All actions? Does it require configuration to be useful?

    1. The problem is not Explicit TLS but rather the opportunistic use of TLS for the sake of backward compatibility

      If one's email service did not require TLS, would one be unable to email with another who's service did not support TLS?

    1. Kornell, Klein, and Rawson (2015), however, found that it was the retrieval attempt and not the correct production of information that produced the retrieval practice benefit – as long as the correct answer was provided after an unsuccessful attempt, the benefit was the same as for a successful retrieval attempt in this set of studies.

      One fires the same neural pathways in reading the answer, maybe, as one fired in attempting to retrieve the answer. The knowledge that the answer is correct then strengthens that pathway's connection to the answer in "memory"?

    2. Thus, it is important to balance success of retrieval with overall difficulty in retrieving the information (Smith & Karpicke, 2014; Weinstein, Nunes, & Karpicke, 2016)

      I guess you must find a way to make flashcards more difficult, but not too difficult, to make them as effective as possible.

    1. sedition for someone to use a computer system to circulate messages deemed to excite or attempt to excite disaffection towards the Government

      "Disaffection" is a very broad term.

    1. A VPN tunnel is the specific encrypted connection within a VPN

      So a VPN tunnel requires a VPN be active on the machine at the start of the tunnel?

    1. women have often been socialized to display more positive emotions and internalize feelings that some perceive as negative, like anger

      I feel like I try to do the same. Am I socialized to do so? By whom? Lisa?

    2. a distress signal used to summon help and provoke helping behaviors in others.

      Maybe Lisa's comments after my outburst were upsetting because I did not understand they were meant to be helpful.

    1. would like to see like step files I'm sure there's a reason they're not releasing those because then you kind of have like all the files you need to kind 00:08:41 of Clone this thing if you wanted to

      Isn't that the point of making it open source? Do you have to pay for the step files?

    1. Republicans mostly in the countryside and Democrats mostly in big cities

      I wonder if that means PPP is Guyana's Republican party, and PNC is Guyana's Democratic party.

    1. Nelson Mandela once praised him, saying, “He is one of those men who have become famous because, in their fight for human justice, they have chosen the whole world as their theatre.”

      Did he know Nelson Mandela?

    1. you'd still move through time  at the speed of light

      I'm beginning to feel like "speed of light" is a bad name for the universal constant.

    1. if retrieval-based learning situations are constructed in such a way that ensures high levels of success, the act of bringing the information to mind may be undermined

      So cheating hampers learning.

    2. Importantly, both overt and covert retrieval practice improved memory over control groups without retrieval practice, even when feedback was not provided.

      So even just re-taking an exam could assist with learning. Interesting.

    3. retrieval practice may be more beneficial for higher-order learning if it includes more scaffolding (Fiechter & Benjamin, 2017; but see Smith, Blunt, et al., 2016)

      What is scaffolding?

    4. Retrieval practice effects on higher-order learning may be more sensitive than fact learning to encoding factors, such as the way material is presented during study (Eglington & Kang, 2016).

      I'm having a hard time understanding the meaning here.

    5. the effectiveness of retrieval-based learning has been extended beyond simple testing to other activities in which retrieval practice can be integrated, such as concept mapping

      What exactly is concept mapping?

    6. may seem surprising that retrieval (which happens when we take a test) improves memory

      The brain is a muscle, after all. Expercising that muscle strengthens it.

    7. Students tend to cram for exams rather than space out their learning.

      I wonder whether a memory's good storage strength would be undone by increasing it's recall strength through cramming. The research seems to suggest it would.

    1. Covert Retrieval is a cognitive process in which individuals recall information from their memory without demonstrating this process through observable actions. It occurs internally and silently.

      Normal flashcards are covert.

    1. the ranking of sushi over Pizza   should not be affected by the new option

      I think I disagree here. What if the new candidate is excellent? I must assume that Mr. Arrow is smarter than I am.

    2. ranking someone first gives that candidate Four  Points ranking them second would give them three   and so on with zero points being awarded for last  place

      So with n candidates, first place gets n - 1 points?

    3. the last 100 years there were 21 times a  single party held a majority of the seats in the   British Parliament but only two of those times  did the majority of the voters actually vote for   that party

      I cannot recall the last time I heard Brits were satisfied with their government. Guyana, too.

    1. educators believe that if a learning task is interrupted and resumed later, then the information learned during that task is more likely to be remembered.

      Maybe because that interpretation provides an opportunity to actively recall the study material.

    1. Music is rhythm, rhythm is structure, and structure is soothing to an ADHD brain struggling to regulate itself to stay on a linear path

      This makes perfect sense.

    2. “extremely geeky” autistic hyperfixations

      Like attempting to come up with math-like definitions for each genre, and subgenre, of music.

    3. Heavy music makes me feel like I’m expressing my emotions in a way that wouldn’t be possible otherwise

      The music kind of speaks FOR me, instead of TO me. It probably does both, at times.

    4. lost inside my own head, and with so much going on inside, the outside world can appear hazy

      The music kind of quiets that noise for me. Maybe it simply distracts me from the noise?

    1. Ask the Minister…who would read it? Glenn Lall? I can’t even go through that. You need technical people. A Field Development Plan for an oil and gas sector you need specialized people. They would put Glenn Lall, the specialist to read it. Who in your agency would read it if you see it?

      I think this justification is bullshit.

    1. Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) - supports service data flow detection, policy enforcement and flow-based charging

      Is this the CCS??

    2. Authentication Center (AUC) - Provides a protected database that stores a copy of the secret key stored in each subscriber's SIM card

      A users table?

    3. Equipment Identity Register (EIR) - A database that contains a list of all valid equipment on the network. Equipment is then marked as allowed, denied or restricted.

      What's the difference between denied, and restricted?

    4. Visitor Location Register (VLR) - Temporary database which is updated via the HLR whenever a new MS enters its area.

      So this handles switching devices between towers?

    5. Home Location Register (HLR) - Database used for storage and management of subscriptions. Such as subscribers service profile, location, and activity status.

      Isn't this what an HSS does?

    6. The BSC is the connection between the mobile and the Mobile Switching Center (MSC).[

      We have something called an "SMSC" -- is that similar to an "SMC"?

      I don't think so; SMSC seems to stand for "short message service center", where SMC here stands for "message switching service".

    7. In addition, 2G allowed for the digital encryption of phone conversations and greater wireless penetration levels thanks to greater spectrum efficiency.

      What does penetration mean here? I guess it's something to do with the wireless signal's ability to penetrate physical barriers?

    1. Note that the SNAPSHOT changes constantly. Whenever an agent deploys the artifact, it is updated in the shared repository

      Does this mean I can update an existing snapshot version multiple times? That could be very useful.

    1. Many games have seen less than 1,000 fans in stadiums

      What happened to Arab's love for the sport? There was a lot of that sentiment going around for the Quatar WC.

    1. Cold War concerns about another Communist Cuba in Latin America drove President John F. Kennedy to approve a covert CIA political campaign to rig national elections in British Guiana, then a British colony but soon to be independent, according to declassified documents posted today by the National Security Archive

      Link??

    1. In June the Clinton Administration prepared to send a new Ambassador to the little country -- apparently unaware that the prospective nominee had helped to undermine the restored leader

      Is Weiner allergic to citations, and sources?

    2. But State Department and C.I.A. officials refuse to release them, saying it is not worth the embarrassment

      Then there should be some record of them saying so, no?

    1. Feeling frustrated or upset is a natural response that occurs when the outcome of a situation turns out differently than expected.

      Expectation are resentments waiting to happen, remember?

    1. Markdown is an excellent language to use for doc files stored next to code

      There are markdown documentation frameworks, but I still want to try sphinx.

    2. I didn’t mention tl;dr here, because it’s the opposite of what is desired. tl;dr is what journalists would call “burying the lede” when the important parts appear at the end of a document

      Implying that a tl;dr only appears at the end?

    1. he's Elite at getting the ball into the box from set pieces same as James brous 00:03:00 Kevin De bruyne Alexander Arnold

      Why don't we run Trent on the right of a midfield 4?

    1. he believed that people didn't ever want to do the wrong thing instead when people did the wrong thing it was simply out of ignorance

      I agree to a point: I think people do the wrong thing when it's the easier thing.

    1. The response contains just a status code of 201 Created, which indicates that Salesforce successfully received the job data.

      What happens if I hit the endpoint multiple times?

    1. He discovered that patients would often try to avoid pain—but that that avoidance would lead to deeper distress

      Reminds me of me trying to avoid stress, and regret, only to be met with stress and regret. Do not avoid pain -- accept it, identify it, and... push through it?

    1. Try to choose something that you find soothing and enjoyable

      I can think of nothing I do that I find soothing. I guess gaming is enjoyable, though. I have this nagging feeling that escapism is bad, though.

    1. certain neuron populations in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) exhibit coordinated reactivations during awake ripple events

      Is the PFC in the hippocampus? The neocortex? Neither? What are awake-ripple-events?

    1. Wonder if it's possible to have inline DQL in the properties of a file. If so, I wonder if it's possible to query for/against those properties.

    1. the text or other graphics you are editing or viewing

      So emacs can display non-textual graphics -- I know it can display images, but they are just rendered in the text line, and the line is expanded to fit the image, which isn't great.

    1. I used to use emacs org mode and actually for a certain kind of delicate nerd I recommend it more 00:00:35 highly than obsidian

      What kind of "delicate nerd", sir?

    1. Lack of empathy on the other person’s part is often unintentional and may stem from their problems, traumas, or experiences.

      Maybe because of school?

    1. we have to have a policy where people, at the technical level particularly, who engage with the oil and gas companies and executives, that they must seek the explicit clearance from the ministry and they must report back on the nature of every engagement

      So exxon mobile spent 214 million USD on the word of a random technician/engineer?
