"In 2000, a French government report noted that vineyards used 3% of all agricultural land, but 20% of the total pesticides. In 2013, a study found traces of pesticides in 90% of wines available at French supermarkets."

Ok, that seems like legitimate concerns.

"Wine is regularly passed through electrical fields to prevent calcium and potassium crystals from forming, injected with various gases to aerate or protect it, or split into its constituent liquids by reverse osmosis and reconstituted with a more pleasing alcohol to juice ratio."

Pearl clutching nonsense. Does sound a lot like antivaxxer concerns right there.

> Most new features are edition-independent, and will be usable on new compilers even when an older edition is selected.

What happens when you have specified an older edition, but use a feature from a newer edition (possibly without realizing it's from a newer edition), it works fine on your newer edition compiler, then try and build it on a compiler supporting only the older edition? Is that a potential issue or am I interpreting it incorrectly? It kinda seems like maybe features should be edition dependent.

I know there's a lot of pooh-poohing of the blockchain here, and for good reason. However, I can think of an excellent use case for blockchain in government that couldn't (verifiably) be done with a normal database: tracking grants, contracts, misc spending, etc.

With a public blockchain, grants and other government spending (which are sometimes otherwise misspent or stolen) could be verifiably tracked and published. This could be a great asset to state and local governments that are prone to corruption.

It would seem that anyone who could consistently arbitrage a currency OR synthetically front run transactions would be able to capture a great deal of value extremely quickly. Further, they should have an easily identifiable and intelligible record of success. Have a pitch deck ready if you don't already.

It is not a currency, neither a store of value. The blockchain technology is also not really technologically relevant.

> other factors make it seem symbolic

I don't think this is actually true. A single no vote just means that it wasn't unanimous (but almost so).

As for not defining a crime, much of law (e.g. the constitution) does not define crimes, but regulations of government which may be enforced by courts. E.g. the government must not station troops in your house in peacetime (Third Amendment) or the government must appoint you legal counsel in a trial (Sixth Amendment).

I also wonder about this, particularly as a lot of the NSA's activities do have "legal" warrants issued by the secretive FISA court.
That's perhaps an excuse for having imperfect documentation. I don't think it's an excuse for it being in the state it's currently in.

Have you looked at that chapter recently? It starts by saying « A Rust program's memory consists of a static set of items and a heap », and literally two sentences later it's talking about «the stack» as if the reader is supposed to know what that is (and as if there's only one stack).
For these cards the giant heatsink is connected to the VRMs so cooling is a non issue. In OP's pictures, he seems to have replaced the heatsink of his card with one from the case without cooling the VRMs.

From personal experience, I tried to silent cool an RX 550 (50 watt vs 75 watt of 1050 ti) without VRM heatsink and the VRM temnperatures were up to 100-103C during a torture test. Adding a fan lowered the temperatures by 20C.

That definition of supernatural, as just the as-yet unknown natural, is a bit contentious and I've not seen it commonly (ever) espoused by anyone else. Most people who use the term really do seem to mean, on questioning, something beyond and different from the knowable natural world and it's forces. Sometimes they will even classify it as things by definition unknowable to science.

I do agree that many if not most 'supernatural' phenomena have been explained by science. However I don't think that it's all that useful to classify them as supernatural at a previous time and natural now. They haven't changed.

I'm highly sympathetic to reducing fingerprinting attack area, by the way; we should just be clear that providing sites less information does mean they can't do various performance optimizations, and in some cases can't even provide correct functionality. That tension is at the heart of all the anti-fingerprinting efforts browsers are involved in...

Asking users for permission isn't really a solution either, unfortunately: all the bad actors will just spam permission prompts continuously. I've browsed before in a "prompt for attempts to set cookies" mode, back when Firefox had this feature. It wasn't pretty, even in the mid-2000s.

> when will you enforce a no third party cookie by default?

When it can be done without breaking too many users' day-to-day browsing.

> Especially for website that don't comply with the do not track header

How does one go about determining that? This is an honest question; I'm not aware of any database of sites that classifies them along this dimension.

Dicslosure: I work on Firefox and various people including myself have been pushing for various anti-tracking bits for a while now. Some of them have shipped; others are in the works.

That's definitely not what a decentralized database is needed for. Any centralized SQL database could this much better and efficiently.

I see where you're coming from. I think I just don't like the "complain about it" angle.

I can't change the language itself. I feel like a lot of people stress about those issues and can talk about them at length. I'm usually like "This isn't optimal, here's the workaround, this other language does it better but it's got other issues that are even worse for what we're building. Problem solved, moving on." Like, it's just another problem to solve at my problem solving job. The answer is not elegant, but that's the case with so many things in the real world...but this is probably the stoic in me.

You'd have to specify the newer edition for it to work.

This is kind of a moot point given that there's only one real compiler right now, but it would fail to compile.
If you want to be serious about math you should get a feel for what mathematics means to mathematicians.

A common view is that mathematicians prove theorems. While true, a skill that is not emphasized enough is learning (by heart) and understanding definitions. Learning by heart here also means something slightly different than simply being able to recite definitions and theorems. You have to be able to compare the objects that you define and get a feel for how a definition is really a manipulation of a basic intuition.

A great book to start with is Rudin's Principles of mathematical analysis. You will get a much deeper appreciation of what calculus is. If you want any chance of understanding the mathematical tools used in theoretical physics (operators, Hilbert spaces, Fourier decompositions to get solutions to differential equations etc.) you will have to understand analysis.

Technically, Pablo Escobar was a good businessman.

And there's the rub. Economics are amoral. There's nothing inherent in capitalism that says "We only make money in ways that are legal and ethical". Corruption is part of the nature of the beast. This is why we need to regulate markets.

Make a desirable product illegal, and you've improved the profitability of that product's market, by increasing friction. (As an aside - as Peter Thiel points out, in a free market, profits are driven to zero. That's just math. All profitability is derived from friction, from failure of the free market.) Society winds up attracting the least ethical businesspeople this way - the Pablo Escobars, drawn by the incredible profits that illegal products can generate.

Corruption is a similar problem. Politicians, especially executives, wind up with massive monopoly leverage that can reward or punish businesses. This creates a strong incentive to offer personal financial gain to politicians in exchange for favor. The fact that this is illegal only increases the amount of reward that must be offered.

This makes "businessman" politicians exceedingly dangerous. If they're used to shortchanging ethics in the name of profit already, the power of office is far too potentially profitable to resist.

> the world is full of extremists
> Osama bin Laden could have been bombed

What you seem to be saying, in what we hear all the time, is spending money and doing work that increased the power and capabilities of the US military will makes us all better off.

You are also seem to be saying that Osama bin Laden is an extremist.

But in the 1970s, as Afghanistan was working towards becoming a more secular society, the US military and intelligence agencies were arming Osama bin Laden and his fellow jihadis, the proto Taliban and proto Al Qaeda. Who wanted, among other things, for the secularization of Afghanistan to stop, and for an Islamic dominated government to come in. An effort which the US succeeded in, along with their partner Osama bin Laden.

This being the case, I am not exactly sure when bin Laden and people like him became extremists. I suppose it was after the US began it's military occupation of Saudi Arabia. Osama bin Laden opposed the US military occupation of his country.

This may sound equivocal about bin Laden, but the US is more equivocal about bin Laden. I think he never should have been armed by the US. People of a like mind said as much then. Others disagreed.

In other words, if the US is making political errors (or is not making errors and is pursuing negative goals), more power and capability to carry out those erroneous policies will not help matters.

For example, Trump just escalated the conflict in the Middle East this week, which only satisfies religious fundamentalists. Handing him more power to do so will not help things, it will just mean more 9/11s in response to the blow he just landed against Arabs/Muslims.

There is a limited amount of total work that can be done by those people. Every low-level employee who refuses to work on this decreases the overall capacity. Every manager who has to deal with recruiting new people and getting them up to speed reduces capacity. Every company with reduced ability to compete for bids reduces capacity. Pushing the work to foreign companies and getting more red tape involved reduces capacity. It's not zero.
Cool! Has anyone shown that a subdermal sized RFID chip is able to adhere to that? Further, does any RFID chip on the market have a real security story? Ideally you'd have public/private key encryption with some programmability on the part of both the readers and the chips themselves (so readers can be told "here's the public key of ID#1234, so only trust that you've seen 1234 if you get something decryptable with this key", so they can't be easily spoofed, and RFID chips can be told "here's the public key of the reader(s) you should respond to; anyone else ignore").

Until that happens, I just don't see it being secure.
How hard is it to create a user for each of the system admins?

Agreed, I feel that "mesh" has been reduced to a buzzword akin to "web" 10+ years ago. In particular, this usage of it for EasyMesh begins to feel like a misappropriation. Unfortunately for anyone concerned with clarity, the term describes a topology, not which layer it is implemented on.

I constantly find myself using qualifiers like "hybrid mesh cellular" (doesn't exist due to hostile regulation), "link-layer optimization for mesh processing", & "app-layer mesh protocols for decentralized Directed Acyclic Graph consensus". "Mesh", "matrix", "net", & "web" are all terms which are virtually interchangeable in contexts outside the IT realm. "Star" most accurately describes the topology of most people's single-AP WiFi implementations, yet the term is deprecated due to association with a specific old protocol nobody's done much with in thirty years, as far as I know.

The whole thing is a linguistic nightmare, from anything but a marketing perspective (marketing loves conflation; it's one of the industry's primary tools).

EasyMesh protocol finalization looks like great news for installers & WiFi network admins, but I expect the new range extenders it enables to make the overcrowding situation worse, not better.

If it doesn't enable peer nodes to communicate without a centralized point of control, I'd vastly prefer the term "mesh" not be used at all.
