I have a friend studying Ayurveda in India. He is in his 5th year. Learned Sanskrit in order to be able to read the texts in original, because translating them into English is extremely reductionist by the very nature of the two languages.

So, Ayurvedic texts in English, carry only extremely narrow interpretation of the translator who may or may not have been aware of the context. When reading these translations, the readers don’t even know of the difference in thinking and language.

This is only one of the aspects: the literature’s content has been severely reduced and detextualized by translation.

Another aspect: his English-only speaking colleagues started opening YouTube channels trying to establish themselves as Ayurveda experts from the first semester of the first year. So there’s that.

In short, what do we mean by the word Ayurveda?

Appropriation of the word and confidently spreading ignorance?

The “alternative medicine” industrial complex which builds upon that and is satisfied as long as it can add its tolls and collect $$?

Or do you mean the nearly obscure medical practice which requires years of education and refinement of one’s abilities, senses and knowledge, putting in thousands of hours seeing patients under supervision etc.?

Some of it is legit and some of it is complete new age bs, just like “yoga.”
I really like Google Maps, but it's not enabled for CarPlay, so having Apple Maps upgrade to a near 1:1 feature set with Google would be welcome.
Reddit’s problem is not that it censors too much — in fact, quite the opposite, and I wish all the people trying to build ‘a better reddit’ would realize that.
With this you can do 0.5mm pitch BGA although that is pushing it.

If you have actually figured out how to consistently make boards with BGA-256/512 0.5mm pitch parts with just a toaster, I'd love to learn more about your technique. Even with professional inspection equipment and a pick and place, it's rarely worth the effort unless I have an imminent deadline.

For a beginner, I doubt the cost of trial and error would be cheaper than just having someone else do it. He could go with a larger pitch [edit: and smaller pin count] but I have never successfully introduced someone to FPGAs without a relatively huge chip capable of running a soft core closer to what they're used to with in general purpose computing.
As someone still trying to understand the essence of quantum computing, your analogy to me can be summed up as coherence only comes from coherence. Which to me is too general, and describes computing as a whole. How coherence is determined in the particular case of quantum computing as opposed to classical computing is the meat and potatoes that I'm looking for.
It should be noted that Andreas Olofsson used to run Adapteva and close to singlehandedly designed the Parallella processor.

I wonder if the decline of Moore’s Law will eventually lead to the commotidization of ASIC fabrication?

Of course fabricating a chip will never be as cheap as writing a bit of software, but maybe it will eventually be as cheap as, say, injection molding a piece of plastic?
My role at our agency recently has been implementing a data layer for one of our clients and I found our current documentation combo of Google Doc/Sheet so frustrating. The times I find things to be inconsistent between pages and the lack of examples really pushes back my productivities on the project, and I can see the lack of good documentations will cause many troubles down the road. I am almost tempted to stop the project for the moment and recommend to my manager that we should revise the documentation workflows first before any kind of implementations. My only struggle is to find any good software/examples that can help me convince the manager that this is worth the time and a good practice to carry out throughout the company
>As far as I know, there are no such entities who are willing or able to provide such a service.

Kraken offer such a service, this article is about kraken and it specifically mentions USD/usdt trading on the exchange.
Re WebGL, I gather that canvas fingerprints are based on graphics hardware and drivers. So all browsers on a given machine have the same canvas fingerprint. I've used https://browserleaks.com/webgl for testing. And with VMs, it's even worse. I found that all Debian-family VMs on a given host have the same canvas fingerprint. But Windows, macOS, CentOS, Arch and TrueOS (aka PC-BSD) VMs each have distinct fingerprints.

About cached resources, it's my impression that adversaries can exploit XSS vulnerabilities for detection. Most simply, you just measure load time.
Its more that it allows communities to interact negatively with each other too much. Generally speaking nobody in the "toxic" communities is worried about the speech there or they would unsubscribe. The problem is when they brigade on other subreddits, or people not OK with what is said in one community decide to impose their morals there. The net result is large communities at war with each other.

Yes of course I agree and we should be wary; it's bonkers that the US does not have clear and definitive rules for how the rules/constitution applies to non-residents etc..
That's true. I wonder what the energy use would be in comparison to chemical rockets. And if it would be inherently safer since it wouldn't be moving via a controlled explosion.

The stories were spun (imagine the telephone game with malicious actors), allegedly by Kiwi Farms users, to maximize the harm to their victims.

.....not exactly.

Most exchanges use NBBO-like mechanisms.

"National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO) is a regulation by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission that requires brokers to execute customer trades at the best available ask price when buying securities, and the best available bid price when selling securities."

So even if you wanted to sell your Tether for $0.50 each, it'll execute at ~$1.
Sure, you could shake off the idea (if you haven't already...) that quantum entanglement means communication faster than light. This is, interestingly, exactly the same kind of error as the one that says that a quantum computer is just like a classical computer but with exponential parallelism. Namely, you look at the resources that would be needed to simulate a quantum system using a classical system (faster-than-light communication in the one case, exponential parallelism in the other). You then confuse those with the resources that the quantum system itself provides you.

In reality, quantum mechanics is carving out a third profile of abilities, which is neither as weak as the classical profile, nor as strong as the thing that people mistakenly overcorrect to once you tell them that the classical profile is inadequate. E.g., you can violate the Bell inequality but NOT send instantaneous signals; you can solve factoring in polynomial time but probably NOT NP-complete problems. As I like to say (someone already quoted it elsewhere), it's a sufficiently strange state of affairs that no science-fiction writer would have had the imagination to invent it.
Sorry, don't think I can do more at this point; I once managed to understand the Shor's algorithm from some book; but I didn't reinforce it, and now I'm left only with a vague recollection of the main a-ha moment... Though I actually don't really get what do you mean by coherence here (esp. in the area of classical computing).
Competence might be a better label than mastery, which is a blue sky or a bottomless pit, depending on your point of view.

Maybe add something to cover graph theory. But it's hard to think of a tool as useful on a small scale (one person, not big data) as the ones you've named.
Everyone in here is caught up in the physical harm of smoking. Celebrating moving from cigarettes to eCigs. I'll admit that's important. But for me, most of the harm cigarettes have (and also eCigs) is not how bad is it on your physical health.

I think the biggest problem with the news aggregator model is that up- and down-voting encourage groupthink and low-brow, visceral content that's easy to digest quickly.
If the statistical claim is true, that morality rates don't increase after 105, then it is "suggestive of the idea" that there isn't a structural limit to age, even if this doesn't in any way yield some immediate immortality (notice how weakly I phrase that). If the chance of dying is the same at 105 and 115, then maybe the things killing one at 105 and at 115 have the same root cause and heading them off could significantly increase lifespans. The alternative scenario is new things appear that would kill one at 115 but not at 105 but one would naively assume that the mortality increases (it may be old things retreat and new things appear however).

Obviously, there are a lot of "ifs" here but the result seems interesting and suggestive.

I get that, but how does this suspicious trading do anything? What does it do? It just seems suspicious at this point, but I can't actually find the math to work out the purpose, even though some people in the thread are claiming its alternatively making someone money or supporting the peg, but doesn't say how.
Does this seem to mirror European politics or culture? Where does the tolerance for this come from? As an American, it is baffling to have that much uncertainty introduced by external entities.
The most important aspect of software development is getting the requirements right. I suppose this is where Readmes can help. However, I'm astonished that many existing projects don't even document their underlying requirements properly!
Why? There’s no way nicotine inhalers are as harmful as drinking alcohol. The research on nicotine’s health effects qua nicotine is about as strong as that for caffeine. The long term health effects are small and ambiguous.

The negative health effects from smoking are from inhaling burning plant matter, overwhelmingly. If we go from the current rate of smoking to 100% of adults vaping the health effects on a population level would still look good. Smoking is really bad, vaping is new, stupid and may in the long run have some negative effects on your health but we don’t have any strong evidence it does.

Bullshit, clickbait title: from the article- "It was self-funded, with about $350 or so worth of Bitcoin"

Pretty small change to compete with motherfcking reddit, one of the biggest sites on the web....and then to whine about it too? It would take $million$ to have a hope, i mean, come on, bro...

And regarding reddit's "censorship" that you speak of, ummm...have you seen what they still allow even now? That was token censorship of stuff like kiddie porn and people dying graphic deaths, and some stuff actually promoting the killing of homos and jews, and lynching blacks. You want that stuff??????

If you just want to take that kind of stuff, you could probably do alright with a site that focusses on just those areas!!! L M A O...have fun. :-\

No matter what, you'll need to clear a certain volume floor. Masks are expensive [0] especially for nicer process nodes.

Once you have a mask set and fab time, it's off to the races. IMO $1M really isn't bad for a simple chip run.

they really allow anything at all?? are you aware of the kind of extreme nastiness that reddit actually finally censored? i think the feds would seize their servers eventually.

Do you think Milo is a white nationalist? Or that he's homophobic?

Since you know he fabricated the screenshots, have you contacted a journalist? This is a huge scoop and hasn't been reported yet.
Almost everything I've ever done with networking was much closer to applied computer science than pure CS, but writing an HTTP client (open socket, construct and parse headers, deal with character encoding) was one of the more eye-opening experiences when I was getting started.
"'To understand someone, we should not imagine their point of view but make the effort to “get” their perspective. True insight into the minds of others is not likely to come from honing your powers of intuition,' Epley wrote, 'but rather by learning to stop guessing about what’s on the mind of another person and learning to listen instead.'”

It took me a while to learn this with my SO, but now that we try this more often we've definitely noticed an improvement in our disagreements. Of course, I had to be open to listening in the first place, which is something that probably prevents empathizing with a stranger of an opposite mindset.

Years ago the freeway maintainers were applying rubberized asphalt to the freeways in the metropolitan Phoenix area. The newly-rubberized freeways were very, very black. "Brilliant, just brilliant", I thought.

Some time later I read that while rubberized pavement gets hotter than plain asphalt during the day, it cools much, much quicker at night. The article had infrared aerial photos of the Phoenix metro area pre-rubberized freeways and post-rubberized freeways. Before the project the freeways were all lit up. After the rubberized surface was applied, the freeways were entirely black on the infrared photos.

Rubberized asphalt, applied to Valley freeways to
minimize noise, has an unintended benefit: It's cooler
at night than other pavement, according to the Arizona
Republic.

That's because air holes constitute 20 % of rubberized
asphalt, said Kamil Kaloush, an assistant professor of
civil and environmental engineering. Those pockets of
air allow heat to escape, something that dense concrete
can't do.

Because I assume that the Russians, when they armed it (In Soviet times), and then disarmed it (In post-Soviet times), could count up to, and back down from twenty.

If they still have weapons, they sure as hell haven't been using their existence as a deterrent. The whole point of having nukes is letting potential aggressors know that you have them, and that, if attacked, you may be crazy enough to use them.
Never got an email about it, so, my point still stands. I don't look back to blog posts expecting updates.
Gary was superfluous and needlessly impressive, he owned it, confessed it, and wrote its marvelous onthogenesis (la promesse de l'aube), it seems strange to blame him for the lack of depth - it's his point.

Also, could you please advise me some deep french novels, written after WWII? I've read and loved plenty of Camus and l'ecume des jours, but can't stand stalinists, so wouldn't touch Gide, Sartre etc.

If only a finite amount of bandwidth is available to the world, then yes, the rich will be able to spend more to take bandwidth from us.

However more cable can always be added, so what would actually happen is that the pie would grow.

I've been playing the game for several years and that still describes me :-). Although, he uses a custom font -- normally it would be only characters in codepage 473. He's modified it so that some of the items in the game look closer to what you might expect. Quite a lot of people like his font for the game, but personally I prefer to have just normal characters.
The dose makes the poison and tablets are about the only way you could overdose on caffeine. Your stomach will be telling you to stop long before you get to 40 cups, which isn’t enough for a healthy adult to overdose on.

I think Venus might have an economic edge in the early days of the trans-Solar System economy, because the whole of its civilization will be floating at high altitude. Even without orbital rings and space elevators, everything will have very cheap access to space through skyhooks.
There is little reason to sell tether at a discount if you have significant amounts. You'd usually be better off just buying ether/bitcoin on Polo/BFX/etc and transferring to GDAX to sell directly for USD.

Same goes for buying it. In my experience, it only rises above $1.03 when liquidity is low and the BTC/USDT price diverges from BTC/USD enough to make arbitrage possible.
Imagine all the money being wasted in cases like this. There would be enough to solve poverty, hunger, homelessness and expensive healthcare in just the US alone.
The entire structure doesn't have to be visited.

It says nothing about anything, really. There may be specific jurisdictions where Apple maps or Google maps falls over because that is an area they happen to have some bad data for - we can't really tell.

Strategically, Apple maps is in a good spot for Apple - Google's offering isn't the major choice of users for a piece of critical functionality.
Because the entire human experience shouldn't be an exercise in neurotic min/maxing and risk avoidance. I'd rather live in a world where people occasionally smoke or gamble or have unprotected sex than one where everyone is driven by Type A obsession with health and money and living forever.

If a kid picks up a nagging but ultimately harmless nicotine habit, is that really the end of the world? Given what we know so far about vaping and its safety, I'd say you could make an argument for the pleasure of flavored nicotine outweighing the annoyance of addiction.
If drivers are involved, then it would follow that updating changes your fingerprint? Still bad, but mitigated by being time-fenced.

That's very true, but it's still infinitely better than never making an effort to see anything from the POV of others. Most things in life that are worth doing fall into the category of things where you're constantly trying to attain some unattainable ideal, like always being rational or ethical or having a healthy lifestyle. Making the effort is far more important than scoring 100% on it.

Also, if someone never makes that effort, they will never even begin to understand and internalize the degree to which they're biased by their own perspective and experiences.

I think the primary focus / value here would be if they can somehow dramatically reduce the cost of making masks and IC's. Lets say these researchers make the actual process of converting C code to silicon super easy, then you go to make the chip and they are like, "cool, the mask / fab cost is like 500k USD for samples" -- then basically the exact same people who currently make chips will keep making chips. What would be awesome would be if DARPA funded somebody converting an old 90nm fab into a low cost foundry that was basically fully automated and subsidized it to allow people to make a chip design for $1000 USD, then you would have a flood of people just being like, "well, its $1000 bucks, why the hell not try to make this chip even if its wrong.." most businesses would happily roll the dice on stuff for that kind of price, and some individuals would as well.

Is there a real solution
to combat
the hate filled and violent cesspool
the internet has become today?

A possible solution is to outlaw what fundamentally makes the Internet "free" and "open", destroying much of the good (and bad) things that were built on those foundations.

Now that the technological Pandora's Box has been open, even such wanton destruction would require a delicate balance between restricting the tech and letting its benefits continue to shine through for the continuation of the state and the society under its umbrella; after all, all states (even allied ones) exist in competition with each other, and to weaken one's tech could mean to weaken that state or even ease its death.

I hope someone knows another way to solve the problem or to satisfactorily ameliorate it.

That's why I believe it was a mistake for Facebook, Twitter and Google to require people to use their real identities. How can trollhunters effectively fight trolls without fear of retaliation in the real world?
There's a difference between censoring and curating.

Popular subreddits don't seem to to curate for meaningful discussion. So jokes, memes, and other low-effort comments often make discussion on reddit close to worthless.

The exceptions are always either small niche subreddits where a common deep interest focuses the discussion, or they're curated subreddits e.g. the neutral politics subreddit.

And as for censoring, moderators are often accused of selectively enforcing rules to favour their agendas etc. I must admit I'm not sure how much that actually happens though.
I wonder whether this includes all of the times where I tap an address link from Messages, Apple Maps opens as the default (which you cannot change[1]), I realize the horror of what I've done, and then I copy/paste the address explicitly into Google Maps. Count one map-related request for each!
