I think this is really the issue when addressing these kinds of pollution problems. It's hard for people to prioritise their actions because they don't understand the relative importance of the consequences. When they hear "problem X is mitigated by Y" they think the issue has been solved, even though there are several other much more serious problems that they didn't know about. Quite frequently I have found that well meaning environmentalists complicate matters by focusing attention on issues that are less important. Being motivated to make a positive difference and being educated on the best courses of action is not necessarily correlated unfortunately. When you throw bad actors into that mix, it gets so confusing that even the most determined and educated can get muddled.
If your nodes have direct network access to each other, no.

But if two nodes that have added each other's keys cannot reach each other directly (e.g. are in separate private networks/behind firewalls/etc) but both can reach an external relay server, it may act as a dumb pipe bouncing encrypted traffic between them.

https://docs.syncthing.net/users/relaying.html

There is a public pool of such relay servers (https://relays.syncthing.net/), and by default syncthing will reach out and connect/announce its itself there so other nodes looking for it could contact it via a relay.

You can host your own relay server and configure your clients to use it exclusively: https://docs.syncthing.net/users/strelaysrv.html#client-conf... or if you only want syncing when your nodes are on the same local network you should be able to just not configure any relays at all.
Beautiful app. Do you have a blog post about the development details like tech stack, etc?
It's too small. /56 should be the minimum unless there are hard technical reasons why you can't do that. My point was that a lot of ISPs seem to think that even /63 is too big, and that's in a 128-bit address space. Surely they would be even more miserly than they currently are if you removed 99.9999..% of the address space?

I was primarily thinking of residential ISPs; business ISPs tend to be a little bit better. That said, datacenters (or rather server/VPS providers) are absolutely terrible. Most of them give you no v6 allocation of your own at all. If you're lucky they let you use as many addresses as you like on your WAN segment, but good luck if you wanted to do a VPN or routed VM subnet.
In Switzerland the citizens can vote about such businesses and still they decided last to pay for a new stadium last year.
Jeepers what a cruel and ill-informed person you are. As someone who works in a public library in some places the public library is the only institution left to be available for the benefit of the underrepresented folks like homeless.

Our print book circulation remains strong regardless of other electronic services we provide. There are millions of books that never get e-book versions.

Most museums and public libraries are indeed operated with non-profit organizations responsible to the local government authority (including mine).

You should get yourself into a library as soon as possible.

Cellulose acetate degrades in between 18 months and 10 years depending on environmental conditions. A plastic bag can be there in 100 years.

> While it was initially believed that CA was virtually non-biodegradable, it has been shown that after initial partial deacetylization the polymer's cellulose backbone is readily biodegraded by cellulase enzymes. In biologically highly active soil, CA fibers are completely destroyed after 4–9 months.
I am not sure how this would work in a production database but the problem of concurrent reads and writes are pretty well solved in Clojure. https://clojure.org/reference/refs

I was also wondering if the Datomic approach is better.
I found http://www.sparkjava.com to be better than Play framework personally if you want to work with Java. Play seems to be more Scala focussed when I tried it.

It’s rather minimal though, just providing the HTTP stack for you, so you have to do your own DB connections and the like.
> Anyways, most of this is moot without real code.

Agreed, I hesitated answering because of this, but oh well.

> What is locally global supposed to mean?

It means within this local context, we have 7 global variables. Just because they aren't global to the entire program doesn't make them magically exempt from the problems of shared data. Specifically, it's too difficult to reason about logic and control flow, even in this small example. You cannot have strong confidence the code is bug-free just by inspecting it.
Yes, and that marginal revenue from a single taxpayer isn't enough to do anything of consequence. It's too simple-minded a model to treat government capabilities as a function of revenue as continuous. This is exacerbated by the fact that voluntary donations would be a highly volatile revenue source, correlated with economic growth in ways that are much more complicated than an income tax covering the entire population in a well-defined way does. That uncertainty around revenue is costly, further reducing the utility of the marginal revenue.

For an overly reductive example: a rich person could support higher taxes (including his own) to be raised to a level that could feasibly fund a social safety net on par with a UBI. If he were to unilaterally provide his portion of higher tax revenues, the government wouldn't instantly implement a minuscule, partial increase in the safety net. OTOH, a consistent tax regime based around a consistently higher revenue base is a fiscal environment in which we could move further towards this person's preferred policies.

(Note that I'm making no endorsement or rejection of the specific policy described above, just using it as an example to point out how nonsensical the complaint in this thread is).

I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has been successful in this. I haven't tried educating again after a couple signal failures, concluding that people willing to harm themselves also don't mind harming others, or oceans. Probably what I should do is ask every smoker whether, out of curiousity, they know the butts are not biodegradable, since they're plastic. That sounds less like a lecture.

One browser that does phone home is UC Browser[0]. I agree with you though, you don't truly know what will happen when you install any application on your desktop without proper inspection. With so many security researchers out there I'm surprised they don't inspect software for that kind of thing and do public reviews, and showcase evidence of phoning home without consent / notifying the end-user in an obvious fashion.

Getting rid of public funding for libraries because homeless people seek shelter there only deprives the homeless of shelter (which they have a right to, however badly they smell) and it deprives the public of the amenities public libraries provide. It doesn't solve any problems.

If so many people have such a problem with homeless people in libraries, maybe their city needs more homeless shelters that serve the same needs. I mean, they camp out under bridges and overpasses as well, should we demolish the roads too?
This is not true. Many suffer depression for no identifiable lifestyle reason.
I lived there then; as I remember it was put to the ballot two or three times -and when it kept getting voted down they basically just said "screw it" and built it anyway.
“isomorph” is just Greek for “same form”.

I don’t think mathematics should get a monopoly on this one. Though it can probably keep “isomorphism” to itself, since “morphism” is as far as I know a made up math term.
Your point (and reply) about memorization was good. Yes, I'm not constantly remembering "210.40.138.43" but enough tech people need to remember some of these things - for debugging, support, etc - that IPv6 is painful. Asking someone to verify an IPv4 in a dialog setting is doable - an IPv6 is not.

I've maintained for 2 decades that simply adding another 2 slots for 0-255 would have opened up a greatly usable amount. Every current v4 - 210.40.134.34 - would also be 0.0.210.40.134.34, but we'd have another 65000 groupings of 4 billion addresses to allocate as needed, and a transition would have been far easier (smaller space, less processing, easier to think about, etc).
Stadiums should be public as well as the teams.
That's one way to look at it, but are "they" (as a group, not individually) really paid more? I think the total amount of money spent on medical services far exceeds the total amount spent on professional sports or even entertainment as a whole.
I didn't know Syncthing and after installing it on a couple of machines I'm very impressed!

However, I'm surprised too see that by default the whole interface is available on 127.0.0.1:8384. It is possible to set a password but it's a bit hidden in the settings and the documentation does not insist on it.

This makes me wonder, how bad is it for a malicious program running locally to have access to this API?

By and large IPv6 is very similar to IPv4, but of course without NAT.

For example, at my home I get a /48 prefix from my ISP over DHCPv6 (over PPPoE). Then I assign /64 prefixes to my subnets. After that, hosts pick up addresses using SLAAC.

Obviously, VPNs are more complex, but that's not the fault of IPv6.

Why would you want undefined behavior?
I think this partly comes down to what country you live in - If I lived in a Scandinavian country where it seems like people get pretty good value for their tax dollars I would be ok with paying a higher tax rate. If I lived in the USA where tax dollars are wasted on wars in the Middle East and building useless walls I would want to pay as little as possible.
Compliance with medication regimes and followup care can affect outcomes in cardiology, as in other areas. Understanding a patient's psychiatric illness, psychosocial functioning, and other factors can help predict treatment compliance. That in turn may influence the treatment regime the cardiologist recommends.

Medications that are prone to abuse, ones that may be more complex to take, ones that can be dangerous if someone takes too many... all are things the cardiologist should be aware of which takes some basic psychiatric knowledge.

There are few in cardiology, but many physical health meds can definitely create psychiatric side effects. How do you differentiate those from an existing psychiatric illness?

There's a large body of literature that recognizes the links between cardiac care and mental health, resulting in poorer outcomes, increased system utilization and costs, etc. Saying "this is my area, that's yours" exacerbates this problem.
It's effectively a tastier version of the ORS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_rehydration_therapy), although I've started adding a little bit of salt to my daily water intake to counteract the effects of the Dutch working culture (or what comes after 5 PM...)

An essential part of civility is pointing out acts of incivility.

In contrast, many moderns seem to believe that merely acknowledging the possibility of incivility, is itself the height of incivility. But that's nihilism, not civility.
> Most people who understand how this works will think "okay, so this is broken, but how can I profit from this?" rather than focus their energies on how the system can be fixed. The former is much easier to accomplish.

Taking that cynicism one step further: I don't think it is about ease or difficulty of either approach. Rather, those who understand the system also typically understand the human nature, particularly its lust for power, which prohibits any system from being truly fixed. Because any system is going to be gamed by someone to accumulate power for themselves (or their inner circles). So why not apply your insights for your own benefits?
I only need one reason why taxpayers should never fund stadiums:

Stadiums are not politics.
" Stadiums add little or nothing to the local economy."

I think that AT&T Stadium (Arlington, TX) may be a good example of one that's helped.
One article from 2015 says "WrestleMania — the Super Bowl of pro wrestling — is coming to Arlington’s AT&T Stadium in April, and it could pack a financial wallop for local businesses."

The new Rangers stadium nearby has benefited, and so has nearby Six Flags & Hurricane Harbor. The new Arlington entertainment district and local businesses have been picked up as well. It feels like the whole area has improved.
And you think the solution is drugs instead of reasonable working hours?

This article is extremely out-of-date, referring to numerous problems that were solved many years ago. Notice the repeated references to MySQL 5.5, and one reference to how "5.6 is due out soon" -- this indicates the article is 6 years old.

Additionally, a number of things in that article are misleadingly worded, and/or show a blatant disregard for information in MySQL's documentation. And a few things are just completely misstated or outright false. I would not consider it a "good article" on this subject.
q: could this affect the Drake equation, i.e. if supernovae happen every X years could this partly account for the absence of life?
Or you could make teams pay for their own stadiums. They take the revenue so why shouldn't they? The equivalent is Amazon requiring local government to provide them with automated warehouses for them to relocate to (or remain in) that locality.
You can’t quantify love or sentiment unless you accept brand loyalty and subjective measures. It seems like a silly thing to request but perhaps that is your point. If these were ballot initiatives for funding similar to public transport you would see a bit more rejections from anyone outside of the city centers. If we go by popular vote you will likely see most cities vote to keep their teams because we’ve all been raised to think of them as ours despite owning nothing.

I'm confused as to why blanket "antidepressants" are being treated as performance enhancing drugs in the same line as stimulants (as u/ravenstine has posited in a sibling comment). Med school is psychologically taxing which can cause or exacerbate depression. People that have clinical depression should get some sort of treatment for their depression.

Yes, I agree with you that the environment needs to be changed so that it is more hospitable from a mental health standpoint. But this doesn't change the fact that you have medical students right now that are not being treated for the clinical depression from which they are suffering.

One of the absolute issues with the statement "75% of med students are on antidepressants or stimulants" is that it conflates appropriate medication for diagnosed disorders with illegal misuse of Schedule II stimulants for competition. Your typical first-line antidepressants (eg, sertraline, escitalopram) aren't scheduled and are pretty easy to obtain via a PCP visit. They don't offer a "competitive advantage" unless people consider stuff like "being happy" or "not wanting to kill oneself" as an unfair competitive advantage in medical school.

> keep raising the bar based on entrants and dropout rate..

Dropout rates in med school are actually extremely low, at least in the US. Burnout rates as physicians, however...
It's not as unlimited as you might hope.

For a typical provider, a large proportion of their traffic is going to go to a limited number of properties (e.g. facebook, google, youtube).

Each of those properties is only going to return a limited number of IP addresses, and all of the traffic is going to be to a very small number of ports (i.e. 443/80). I can well believe that clients connects via a single ISP to a single remote port a large multiple of times.

Depression and anxiety can result in a rather wide range of cognitive symptoms. For many people, that's what eventually convinces them to seriously pursue treatment.

> Nothing should be subsidized

There went universal healthcare in all nations that have it. If you think the yellow vests rioting in France over a gasoline tax (among other things) are bad, just wait until you see how Europe burns to the ground over that one. In the US, Social Security has no actual lockbox ("trust fund"), it's a fraud in terms of funding; without perpetual vast subsidies, Social Security would immediately begin to collapse. Medicaid would go away instantly as an entirely subsidized program. About half the US would lose health coverage. The 44 million people in the US receiving food benefits via SNAP would lose that.

The argument is always going to be over what should be subsidized, between conflicting factions. The number of people willing to see all subsidies eliminated is practically zero for political purposes.
The two main reasons imo why Grin is important are not only the privacy, which is well covered here, but also the on-chain scaling implications.

We won't know till it's actually used, but there could be orders of magnitude greater on chain scalability for this BTC while retaining proof of work...

This is a major accomplishment and both Grin and Beam are major steps forward for crypto.

I imagine that this would be related to separating your GUI code from your “business logic”/“effects”.

You can make a rule that code should only ever invoke widget code if it “owns” that widget. Then, have the code “owning” your widget be responsible for both showing and hiding the widget. That code then always knows when to invoke cleanup for related resources.
