If we are so small as compared to our sun, and these exoplanets may be so much larger - and we have the idea of a “habitable zone” for planets: is there a “habitable gravity” level for planet size that we should consider for harboring life?

There are indeed people who closely study the process of forming a black hole from collapsing matter, hoping to understand things like the singularity and event horizon. I have not ever heard of any good results that show that a black hole for some reason cannot be formed, but I'm sure people are investigating. This would be very surprising if found, and there doesn't seem to be any evidence against black holes actually forming. So the mainstream, and as far as we can tell, correct, view is that black holes can, do, and have formed.
You are right. I didn't notice that before.
The Space Shuttle drawing is so common that I have to believe it must have been a sample image distributed with some software suite or plotter. It comes up everywhere! Especially in old plotter ads.

This is quite a ridiculous comment, which, sorry, isn’t surprising coming from an Amazon employee.

I too sell on Amazon, and I registered my brand with Amazon. I also have a design patent for the main object I’m selling.

Direct counterfeits can get blocked, although you have to send an email to each marketplace (I’m in Europe), and then Amazon stops the sales but doesn’t remove the listing.

But listing hijacking is hard/impossible to get rid of. I have a hijacker who sells a different product (different shape, material, color, and quantities) who’s been sitting on my listing for over 2 weeks, and Amazon won’t do anything about it. « Seller performance » wrtites back canned emails saying that they don’t communicate the result of their investigations... one doubts there’s much investigation going on.

Brand registry is absolutely useless.

The main problem is, Amazon thinks about its marketplace as something where multiple sellers compete on price selling the same items. It doesn’t want unique listing for unique products by unique sellers/manufacturers. It doesn’t like the idea, and it will never spend ressources to enforce it.
TL;DR in quotes:

> an announcement from the World Health Organization that “processed meats” were now classified as a group 1 carcinogen, meaning scientists were certain that there was “sufficient” evidence that they caused cancer, particularly colon cancer. The warning applied not just to British bacon but to Italian salami, Spanish chorizo, German bratwurst and myriad other foods.

> The WHO announcement came on advice from 22 cancer experts from 10 countries, who reviewed more than 400 studies on processed meat covering epidemiological data from hundreds of thousands of people.

> The part of the story we haven’t been told – including by the WHO – is that there were always other ways to manufacture these products that would make them significantly less carcinogenic.

> The pinkness of bacon – or cooked ham, or salami – is a sign that it has been treated with chemicals, more specifically with nitrates and nitrites. It is the use of these chemicals that is widely believed to be the reason why “processed meat” is much more carcinogenic than unprocessed meat.

> The health risk of bacon is largely to do with two food additives: potassium nitrate (also known as saltpetre) and sodium nitrite. It is these that give salamis, bacons and cooked hams their alluring pink colour. Saltpetre – sometimes called sal prunella – has been used in some recipes for salted meats since ancient times.

The idea that nitrates are the reason processed meats are carcinogenic seems to be mainly taken from a recent book by a French journalist; not much in the way of links to scientific research. Would be nice to see some links along this line. The WHO recommendations are pretty incontrovertible however.

It can target everything that C89 can target, but it may require some additional steps like writing the Nim interface code for target specific system libraries etc. There are also tools to help with this, but I prefer to write the Nim interface to existing C code myself.

Please study food addictions¹²³⁴. Addiction is a disease⁵. Going cold turkey may work for some, but for many, this option is infeasible with drugs. With food, it's infeasible for everyone.

Food addiction is especially difficult to combat without medical intervention⁶. Denying victims access to said care will only exacerbate the problem.

I use Mr Money Mustache's figuring that each mile costs $1.55, then convert it to Canadian. $1.19 per km. Even a 2000 Camry will depreciate if you put enough mileage on it - if I was shopping for one I'd pay $5000 for under 120,000km, but not even a thousand for over 280,000km. But yes, you can get away with a bucket for food delivery. I'd say the best way to do it is on a scooter, but then you're really putting your life on the line every night.
I have the same feeling, although it is going on for more than a year. More like three. Sometimes it feels like I had a small stroke or something like that (just as a comparison, I don't want to insult anyone who had a stroke which is a thousand times worse than what I have).

Just three years ago it was so easy to learn new things, to discover... now it feels like my brain is failing me. I have to say, I feel disabled. And I hope it will get better again. Because right now it sometimes feels hard to even hold a conversation and not forgetting what other people told me ten seconds ago. And my whole train of thought feels so... scatty, if that's the right word for it. Scatterbrained. There is a psychological term for it - thought disorder, and it's a symptom of depression, but I do not feel depressed in a clinical sense. Also my grades are still ok, at a US college it would be around an A- or B+.

I miss my "old" brain though. I'll definitely try meditation.

While I agree in principle, I have my trouble with politicians deciding what's healthy and what's not. With sugar it seems to be a clear cut case by now. But just imagine your policy implemented in the 90s. They would have heavily taxed fat and eggs. The obesity epidemic would have been even worse, because poor people would have substituted with carbs.

Nutritional "science" is less science than advice. And it's often wrong.

Just look at the number of bs studies on chocolate is healthy, wine is healthy etc. They're famous because everybody likes chocolate and wine. My best guess is that having a glass of wine in the evening is correlated with people who are a) more well-off, b) cook at home and c) have enough moderation not to drink a whole bottle of wine. Having moderation is generally good for you. People who eat dark chocolate? Well they probably aren't people with such a sweet tooth (otherwise they'd eat milk chocolate), and that is in general a healthy thing to have.

Nutritional science is 99% bunk, and filtering through that noise is nigh impossible. I'm wary of politicians calling shots on this basis.
Put simply, matter certainly falls into a black hole in finite time. Black holes merge, as LIGO recently observed gravitational waves from, if that helps give some "direct" evidence.

Yes, studying the exact formation for a black hole is a subject under investigation. From what little I've heard in the past, there is nothing surprising happening, but I guess people are hoping that could lead to some understanding. Not sure what they do, numerical GR I suppose, maybe compare to alternative gravity theories to see if any differences are predicted.
This is highly interesting, and long overdue.

Canada has a lot of "oil sands" that would benefit greatly from atomic process heat, reducing carbon footprint, turning feedstock losses into salable product, and increasing production rates. Canadas mineral resources, engineering capabilities, and regulatory mindset are highly favorable to becoming a technological leader in an important sector.

Just wanted to say thank you to the TS team. It's an incredible IDE, one that I enjoy using. And so cool that it was written in TS!
Also, did we forget of LIGO's recent observations of black hole mergers, in perfect agreement with the GR calculations? Nothing else (known, or proposed) can match that.

> SQL is fine, most of the quirky way of stating things is because it's declarative

No, it's quirky because of its semantics.

To quote Erik Meijer "SQL is rife with noncompositional features. For example, the semantics of NULL is a big mess: why does adding the number 13 to a NULL value, 13+NULL, return NULL, but summing the same two values, SUM(13, NULL), returns 13?"

SQL also has no means of abstraction, i.e. defining parameterizable queries. This is one reason that LINQ exists.
That's probably possible, but you may have better luck on non-trivial circuits using the plotter with a knife blade to cut or a pen to draw masks, and then do photoresist etching. Or maybe you could draw with a Sharpie directly on the photoresist paint and then expose it, without masking material. It's worth a shot anyway.

Plotter-printed photoresist masks were actually a fairly common way of doing PCBs in lab settings, back in the 80s and early 90s. Later, it became easier just to run acetate sheets through laser printers, but for a while a Rapidograph filled with India ink was the cleanest, darkest line you could get.

Perhaps more usefully today, quite a lot of people use vinyl cutters to cut thin plastic (mylar usually) to make solder masks. Even the cheaper cutters can do a surprisingly good job of this, enough to make solder masks for many SMCs.

That said, surviving without large deals is likely good advice for small startups; just don't confuse the message with the medium here.

Having dealt with years of clinical depression and not getting much done beyond basic 'just in time' survival I want to say the following:

Meditation may unlock or bring you closer to the bad stuff you've been avoiding dealing with that has been making you depressed or feel bad. You need to put in a lot of work and plow through it with persistence, even if in that moment you don't feel like it. It may be difficult if you feel like you're covered in mud and darkness but there is light at the end of the tunnel even if you can't see it at the moment.

Next Generations Will Shortage Out with Usernames
At work I once needed to write a program that as part of its workload would backup a lot of images to CD. We only had 2x writers available at the time, so I spent a lot of time creating a distributed system which could write e.g. 8-16 CD's at the same time.

Of course right after write speed increased dramatically and we went up to 16/32 writers...and the distributed component became totally unnecessary. But it remained in the code for a long time just complicating things for no apparent reason (to those who later took over).
For the user.js bit, I prefer pyllyukko's relaxed branch[1]. I've got a setup quite close to it[2] and it works very well with next to no breakage.

Also, using both uBlock Origin and uMatrix is somewhat redundant. Gorhill himself has advocated using per-domain permissions in uMatrix and not having different settings for each element type in uMatrix (if I remember correctly, I can't be bothered to look up the source right now) which is easily done in uBlock Origin using Advanced Mode. One can also replace Neat URL and Skip Redirect with Request Control[3], which is a more flexible solution, imo, though it requires one make their own rules.

From my own experiences, and the various answers available on Amazon forums, Brand Gating is a black box. There is no one you can talk to in order to request it, and for now it seems to be an invite-only program.

Somewhat perversely, someone claimed on the forums (I’ll try to add the link if I find the topic), that one way to get brand gated is to buy up the counterfeit products being sold under your listing/ASIN, and document and/or send them into Amazon. It seems that until you’re being widely counterfeited, there really is nothing you can do proactively.

Amazon has been an overall net positive for our company, but the difficulties of trying to get a knowledgeable person to answer pressing questions usually create headaches for me at least once a month. Even as a large volume seller through Amazon Vendor Central, we’ve been given boilerplate legalese about needing to provide photocopies of the certificate of our trademarks in order to initiate DMCA takedowns of stolen or copied images and text. As great as Amazon is for consumers, the vendor support can often make you feel like you’re howling at the wind.

No idea where you live but that's definitely not how it works in my country.

Real estate agents here do a lot. They decorate your apartment, take professional photos, create marketing campaigns on Facebook and all the big listing sites. You set a date and they handle the showings. After that there's one bidding.

The only way they would be able to sell it before the bidding is if someone makes an offer before the showings.
I see this sort of complaint ("I can barely buy from Amazon because of all the scam copies and fake reviews") somewhat often online, and I don't understand.
