As a New Yorker currently living in California, this is something I've had to grapple with.

In New York, right of way is pretty unilaterally given to road traffic. Outside of otherwise controlled interactions (signaled crosswalks), pedestrians are expected to give way to vehicles. And vehicles (to borrow maritime terminology) have a stand-on duty--they are expected to maintain speed and direction.

So it doesn't matter what posture pedestrians adopt, even when they are standing a full lane into the road (people commonly queue to cross the street in the parking lane, rather than on the sidewalk, leaving the sidewalk clear for people traveling along the street). Cars are expected to proceed---and you can bet they will be reminded of that fact by those behind them if they slow unnecessarily. Furthermore, New York's robust jaywalking culture means that these people are all peering upstream, watching for a break in traffic.

In contrast, California has very much opposite expectations. Cars are expected to yield to pedestrians in pretty much all situations (and jaywalking is rare). It turns out if you exhibit really any of the above behaviors in California, drivers tend to interpret that as telegraphing an immediate intent and request to cross the street.

When I moved to California, I was initially perplexed and frustrated by how it seemed like cars would randomly stop anytime I happened to be standing by a crosswalk, even when I didn't have any intention to cross, or when I was happy to let them pass by first. Lots of awkward "no, no, please proceed" gestures ensued.

Eventually I realized the big cue I was giving them was that I was habitually watching traffic. I now take care to be visibly not looking upstream when standing at a crosswalk. That seems to have solved the problem.

So I submit to you that the difference you're picking up on between pedestrians who do and do not have an intent to cross is whether they are paying attention to traffic.
"Viner had lost a reported $1.50 on a bet" - that's truly insane to do this over less than the price of a king-sized Snickers bar.
Since it sounds like you've researched this, what are more sustainable alternatives that you've found? Or open to anyone else's findings, too.
Well you don't always get what you want, and I have a feeling that you're in a smallish minority on this.

They suspended almost immediately the public key common to the 750 000 flawed cards, disabling them, and they issued an update a few months later. That seems like a pretty good reaction. I don't see what they could have done better, apart from making the cards themselves.
You're going to be real surprised then when you find out what assisted living or memory care costs for your parents. Hint it's at least double what normal cost of living is. And many of these folks do need that level of care and supervision.

I'd love to read a similar explanation about surreal numbers. Are surreal numbers in N or not? How do we know? (In my limited understanding, they're not easily excluded.)
Soap is really tricky. The realistic alternatives at a commercial scale are coconut oil (but coconuts take twice the land to grow, compared to palm kernels) or animal fat (which you may not want in your soap). Sustainably sourced palm oil is probably the best option for soap making.

In this modern time, no one needs to know what the ASCII code for @ is, but I think it is logical to expect people to know that some encoding exists and that letters can be mapped to numbers.

Also, all the ASCII you need to know to solve the problem is explained at length in the problem description.
'Bethesda Softworks' is the publisher for both, but ESO was made by a different studio -- 'ZeniMax Online Studios'. 'Bethesda Game Studios' is responsible for the mainline Fallout and Elder Scrolls games, including now Fallout 76. I think this is their first multiplayer title.
And since everyone is unreasonable you think someone should be in charge of deciding what's reasonable at the barrel of a gun.

As best as I can recall, resistance training has been shown to spur testosterone production, but I believe the last study I saw showed that the effect is fairly short-lived. So while resistance training is absolutely advisable for many reasons, I'm not sure if it's sufficient for somebody who actually has a noticeable testosterone deficiency.

Outside of the T issue, exercise of various sorts has been shown to have a positive effect on mood.

Note that for men in particular, loss of muscle mass as you age is a big health issue, and regular resistance training directly combats that. For (type 2) diabetics, resistance training also seems to improve insulin sensitivity.

Pretty sure Belgian eID's are also by Gemalto, which prompts a bunch of questions:

1) are the private keys in Belgian eID's also similarily not randomly generated on-chip, and in whose hands does this happen?

2) if we face the same issue as Estonia, why is no one in Belgium discussing this?

3) if Belgium is not affected, why is Gemalto having 2 systems? doesn't it seem more efficient to use the same private key generation mechanism for both customer nations? why would Gemalto go out of its way to have separate codebases etc regarding "on chip" private key generation? this all seems to suggest that Belgium too is similarily affected

Both. Developers are end-users as well, and an ability to self-host (and protocol standardization and availability of alternate implementations) matters to non-developer end-users too, even though they don't ask for it.

Openness is in the same boah as privacy. Average user would buy just a "we pinky swear it respect your privacy" sticker on the product, but we know they want real privacy. Same with openness. And Firefox Account & friends is not an open system, it just happens to be partially documented and have a few FLOSS implementations of varying quality.

Kinto is a step in the right direction, though.

> I have been on TRT for several years as a result of a damaged pituitary from a tumor that was removed.

If that's the case, wouldn't it make more sense to take the hormones produced by the pituitary that stimulate the production of testosterone? I'm not a doctor, but I suppose that would take away some of the downsides of TRT.
I do not know of a testosterone formulation approved for IV or nasal. Only for IM which is into the muscle before absorption. Some doctors will allow Sub-Q (in the fat) because several studies have showed it also gets absorbed in fat but at a different rate.

Shrinkage is not as bad as you would think, in my case maybe 25%. However, my doctor also prescribes HCG to be injected IM bi-weekly. HCG is an analog to LH - the signaling hormone that tells the testes to produce testosterone. As a result mine are still producing a little bit of test to keep their size and prevent atrophy (I am still fertile as a result).

Acne pops up when dosage is going up or down but tends to go away if you maintain a stable dose and blood level concentrations (aka dose timing) for a long period of time.

Most people in my family suffer from depression, and I have in the past. I think most of mine was caused by anxiety though. SSRIs when I was a teen never did anything for me. I now am fine with no drugs for it though. If yours is based in anxiety I strongly believe it will help.

Oracle Standard Edition used to cost around $8k/core.

Now Standard Edition 2 costs $17k/core, but I believe it includes a license to use Real Application Clusters (RAC), justifying the price hike.

Not much justification if you're only running a single instance, though.

it talks about how ChromeOS runs Android, Linux, and ChromeOS apps natively, in a performant and secure manner, without emulation using a combination of containers and hardware virtualization.

This strikes me as very similar to Qubes' security model. Very interesting to see this architecture developed by a company like Google.

The Social Security Number wasn't created for census purposes, nor was it ever meant (and still isn't) to be fraud-proof. It was created, for _Social Security_ benefits. It wasn't meant to be truly secure, as the worst you can do with someone else's Social Security Number with the Social Security Administration is paying more into their Social Security account.

It is true the IRS used it for their own purposes too, and thus broke the original purpose, but it'd be ridiculous to make the Social Security card more secure and turn it into a national ID because of that. In most government applications anyway, your driver's license number has taken the place of the SSN. Your SSN isn't supposed to be sensitive.

Furthermore, it sounds like you're advocating for the creation of a "National ID" of sorts, which is quite the slippery slope.
When I learned about the CAESAR cypher, I wrote a program called ENIGMA that changed the number of places shifted with each iteration.

Consciously playing music seems nearly impossible to me. There's a whole world of physical technique that can be baffling.

This is a great idea, would love to use this in the future!
I also take HCG, but since I am already doing injections I opted to add TRT because even prior to the tumor my T was in a lower range (low 300s) in my early 20s.

I now keep it in the 700-900/dl range which I have found is where I feel the best. My energy levels in particular are much higher at this range than at 300 where I was frequently tired.

The distinction is basically none. Allowing tracking is a kin to state surveillance. If the data is tracked, you should assume the government has it and I’d cite Snowden and the political climate chipping away at privacy rights.

The reason they're hellbent on improving their existing engine is they have the biggest modder community out there. Their day 1 releases are always buggy as hell and crash to desktop bugs a year or three after release are still plenty, but I actually love their overall technology.

They do need to fix their physics and modernize frame rates and aspect ratios but other then that I hope they never change to some completely different engine. Loading in Bethesda games is always much faster than most other games too.

But FO76? I'm going to pretend it doesn't exist, they might as well have just released it as a DLC for FO4 because it seems completely pointless as is.
Brexit Central's assertion about coffee is completely untrue. Most coffee producers pay zero tariffs, and it's a matter of logistical difficulties at a local level that stops coffee producing nations exporting roast coffee. Not the EU.

> Sure, maybe you don't like what happens in version 1. But, if we never iterate on this problem, we'll never make progress on it and in a 100 years we'll still be talking about this same self imposed problem which is completely solvable.

I think the iteration already happened. The v1 was sometime at the XIX century and were currently and v1000 or something.

This is fine. Amazon is just redistributing OpenJDK according to the terms of its license, which is indisputably legal.

The problem with Android was that it was using, Harmony, a clean-room implementation of JDK whose license is incompatible with OpenJDK. It was believed at the time that APIs were not copyrightable, and thus that clean-room implementations were not derivative works. The courts disagreed. Now Google just uses OpenJDK for Android and they are back in the clear again.
This is insanely expensive indeed. And limited to one socket per node.
When Android started, they could have? J2ME and state of Java/JDKs was far different than their AOT and Harmony classlib, especially with licensing/freedom. If anything, being divorced from Sun/Oracle stewardship/runtime over the years helped them more than hurt them.
Did you fail somewhere before reaching the actual milestone? What would you do differently? And what was your biggest mistake/failure while founding ordermetrics?

I wonder if WebAssembly could help accomplish that.

Still, even Rust has a compile-and-execute web service call accessible from the rust-lang home page. If Rust people (who tend to emphasize security) feel it is possible to secure that web service, then I'm inclined to believe them. It may be difficult though.
I remember the main thing I learned after getting Oracle certified (15 years ago) is that I never want to work with Oracle again.

I got into programming because I want to make cool stuff, not because I want to contemplate the transcendent beauty of pure functions and elegant code.

JavaScript is what enables me to make stuff I couldn't make with the same amount of time/effort using any other tool I came across.

Do I wish I could do the same stuff using Racket? Sure, I guess. But in the world I live in, JS is the best tool I could find for doing what I want.

Also maybe it's just me, but I've been programming for 5 years, and I haven't actually ever felt that frustrated or inadequate when programming JS, I like it no less than python.

I got used to looking down on JavaScript as a "bad" language from reading snarky comments made by people who, I suspect, also jumped on the hate train because they've heard others talking shit about it. I'm not a computer scientist, maybe there are some legitemate reasons to dislike JS, but I don't think they're serious enough to warrant all the hate it gets in programming community, I'm guessing it's mostly a social phenomena.

At least personally I haven't run into things that make me dislike it, I have a lot of fun using it.

So do we still have to be in developer mode with new chromebooks to do this?

Currently, I have a semi-old chromebook with crouton, which means I have to be in developer mode, which means I risk deleting my entire disk at every boot.

I'm waiting on some academics that study multi-lateral trade agreements to send me the details of their mathematical models, since I think they'll share many of the same aspects.

1. Hard to quantify incentive structures.

2. Chaotic / cascading decisions and adaptations.

4. Uncertainty of future arrangements and options.

5. Uncertainty of deterrence efficacy.

6. Even some aspects of agency problems.

I don't give money to homeless people for the same reason. The occasional rude responses can absolutely be frustrating but I think it helps (and is very difficult) to try to put yourself in the shoes of someone suffering from addiction.

There's a homeless man in my neighborhood named Kevin that I chat with most mornings when I walk my dog. He goes to a methadone clinic to help treat his addiction. I usually see him when I'm walking towards the coffee shop, ask him for his coffee/breakfast order, and he hangs out with my dog while I go inside. Most days he's a nice, personable, friendly guy who tells me "dad jokes" and has a bag of dog treats for his neighborhood friends. Sober Kevin is appreciative and would never dream of asking me for a dime. Some days he's coming off a bender and looking for money to buy more drugs and is kind of a dick. A lot of the benders coincide with him being unable to get to the clinic for one reason or another.

Occasionally sober Kevin will apologize for the way he spoke to me when he was single mindedly focused on his next high. He once offered the analogy of when you really need to pee. The absolute only thing your brain is capable of focusing on is finding a bathroom. You're urgently trying to solve this one, desperate problem. You're walking around asking and asking where the bathroom is and people keep saying "I can't help you find the bathroom, but here's a vending machine."

It's by no means an excuse for someone to be rude to a stranger trying to help but it certainly helps me have a little bit more compassion for those dealing with addiction. I think it's frustrating for them, too.
As with most things, the topic is nuanced and making blanket statements without hard data as support is useless. There are no hard and fast rules and no "way you do it" when it comes to this.
The Air Quality Index / Cigarette equivalence is based on the increased number of deaths from each.

One cigarette is equivalent to an air pollution of 22 μg/m3 for one day. Thus, an AQI of Particles (PM2.5) of 160 (today in San Francisco) is equal to 160 / 22 = about 7 cigarettes.
Most of the world's palm oil is being produced in Indonesia and Malaysia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_oil#/media/File:2013palm_...

India, China, the EU, and Indonesia are among the largest global consumers of palm oil according to this: https://www.palmoilandfood.eu/en/palm-oil-consumption

Europe reducing their palm oil use at least makes an impact, and should be encouraged.

I'm figuring India, China, and Indonesia heavily use palm oil given their geographic proximity to the largest source of palm oil cultivation, which is why it's cheap. More pressure should be put on Malaysia and Indonesia to curb deforestation for the sake of planting oil palms. Further, more pressure should continue to be put on corporate supply chains to decrease their palm oil use. The farmers of these countries are slashing and burning forest land because palm oil is the crop that is in demand. The change has to flow from the top down in order to stop desperate and ignorant suppliers from burning away their own lands and contributing to deforestation and climate change for a few pennies on the dollar.
