Fentanyl and Opioids in general? sure. Which they get hooked on because physicians prescribe them with no related treatment for the underlying root causes. So you could kind-of say the fentanyl crisis is about the (non)public health crisis too, right?

And there is a huge meth problem in the industrialised world too. I guess I was too sweeping because 'the war on drugs' was for me, all about cocaine, heroin and marijuana. Ollie North, politicized interventions worldwide. The cocaine wars destroyed the structural integrity of central and southern America. Heroin caused such distortions it got mixed up in geopolitics and helped ferment the afghan situation, and marijuana is now de-facto (but federally, not de jure) legal in sufficient places it is clear that what damage it causes is significantly less than the damage of penalising users. Is even raising tax income!

But the opioid crisis is real. I don't want pretend there aren't bad drugs out there.

Thanks for reading. You may be thinking I took a wrong turn to end up here, but I figure it's worth a shot. For those interested, I'm a freelance creative writer looking for a steady source of income (aren't we all) and thought I'd poke my head in the forum I've been lurking in for the last five years.

Though I have 15 years of experience in title/real estate, my real passion is writing. To that end, I'm looking to start on the ground floor at a young and talented company in need of a creative writer with his finger on the pulse of American culture, memes, current events, politics, and trends.

Oh and don't let my Chutney Slushee-like name fool you -- I was born in this crazy place called America, where even a lurker on a techie message board can land himself a job if he's funny enough.

My thoughts exactly. Especially since it's much easier to simulate 1 gravity in space with rotating space stations. (You live long enough on Mars/Moon/etc., you are not coming back without being crushed).

The stations would need to be rather large, but that's just an engineering and motivation problem. But with a little extra shielding (lot's of water in the hull - could be obtained from asteroids) they'd be very useful as living space (especially after climate change ravages our home planet).

They'd also be much better staging places for solar system exploration and have an advantage in trade (refueling, low energy requirement to get anywhere, excellent target for asteroid refinement without having to bring stuff into a gravity well and back up).

Not having to fight the atmosphere for solar energy is also a plus.

But humanity still clings to traditional gravity wells like the images in the OP show. Old Italian land-house style dwellings in an orbital ring station..
Half the world history we spend time on reproducing for war or similar endavours. Not doing harm, is still quite a improvement. Not buying stuff while beeing alive, is even reducing the war on nature.

In the 70s - as a reaction to the club of rome, they had this insane idea to freeze part of humanity, until the imminent crisis was over. This is what the internet is- a freezer- it freezes social interaction, it freezes your desires, your plans - it freezes everything.

To become defrosted, does not by default improve the world. Its ultimatly a personal desicion.

5 Things I’ve learned working with a women-dominated engineering team
Orgs than blend people management with technical management seem suspect to me. You need to get elbow deep in problems to maintain the technical leadership and it doesn't happen often that you can do that if you're also in the middle of recruitment and communication and 1:1s and all the other machinery of management. Further, the authority of people management conflicts with technocratic leadership, which should be much more meritocratic.

People management requires a different set of skills to technical leadership. Looking to the same person to provide both is unlikely to be successful, IMO.
People don't have the right to vote, at least not unconditionally. That's not how this works, nor how it has ever worked.

If you register to vote in Georgia, then move to Ohio and register there, you might have the right to vote in Ohio. You don't have the right to vote in Georgia, nor does anybody else have the right to vote in Georgia with your identity.

If you register with "Hyphenated-Name" after having previously registered with "Hyphenated Name", that doesn't mean you get to vote twice! You don't have that right.

Mistakes are a big deal. An improper vote is a denial of the rights of the legitimate voters to have their votes properly counted.

Fixing all the issues is difficult, but there is one simple improvement: have the federal government, perhaps the social security administration, publish a mapping from human to voting district.
Do insulin index replace the Glycemic index of foods? What's the difference?
> Maybe me having grown up on American sugary substance, my palate has gotten worse. But my wife, inlaws definitely prefer the fresh one when I do a blind taste test. Me...I'm just like meh, no difference, just get me the box one (which is like 1/3rd the cost).

I'm an American and I can definitely taste the difference between box juice and fresh-squeezed juice. I think the former still had the "base" flavors; but the latter definitely has a more complicated and pleasant taste, with more "nasal" flavors are totally absent from box juice.
it's ending because we're approaching maximum transistor density. The market demands increasingly faster computers, if we're reaching the limits to how many transistors we can cram into a single CPU, ASICs seem to be a logical evolutionary step.
Right. You can get all the supposed advantages of each system, if you want.

Use a touchscreen, fill out a ballot, hit the print button, receive a paper printed ballot, inspect it for errors, drop it into a scanning system that scans and retains it. Importantly, the optical scan is done not by reading any sort of barcode printed on the paper but by reading the same English letters as the voter is inspecting.

All the convenience of electronic systems, hand recount is available and easy. Hand audit some of the machines after every election to ensure accuracy. Doesn't matter how messed up the touchscreens are, since the paper ballot can be inspected by the voter before being cast. No such thing as hanging chad or butterfly ballot problems. Zero bad ballots. Voters who skip races will be doing so intentionally. "LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR: NO VOTE". If they turn that in to be scanned, that's what they wanted.
Well, get to it. Give us the solution. Outright rejecting Brave isn't helpful. Newspapers financed themselves through ads for decades, but now because websites try to do the same (while abusing their position) and Brave tries to find a fair middle ground that still respects our privacy and rights, they're suddenly the bad guy.
> What is the benefit of Brave?

It is to have a chrome with adblocker on android. For all my desktop browsing I use firefox but on android some sites just don't work.

I haven't seen any Brave ads but if they start to appear, then I'm back on Firefox on android as well..
On Mobile i just see a white screen, is it normal?
Deep learning has nothing to do with Wayland and is pretty uninteresting in my opinion. It's a matter of perspective.

And fine: if you have a difference of opinion, just use X.
The Valencia orange is more like a family of several similar oranges currently. Citrus can "clonate itselves" via seeds, so a Valencia orange in California and other in Florida can be the same plant, or have almost equal (but not identical) genetics. Is complicated to explain.

When you talk about a Valencia orange in Florida now is often the clone SPB-1-14-19, sligtly hardier than the original tree from California and different also than the Hughes clone if I'm not wrong.

Producer on the other hand is not the same as hybridizer. The original tree was developed in California but is cultured in all suitable areas of the planet. Their patent has expired long time ago
This can be used as an argument against just about anything.

There’s an under appreciated problem with spinning space stations: they would be set off balance by uneven distribution of weight around the ring. This would make small scale rings a bit problematic because people and stuff need to move around. Rings the size of halo would have enough mass that the movement of people wouldn’t be enough to matter.
I am believer in promoting from within for the most part.

At the companies I have worked at, hiring people directly into principal roles hasn't worked well. Invariably, they struggle to fulfill that role because they don't have enough knowledge about the inner workings, code base, etc.

It usually takes them at least a year before they contribute at their level.
Seems a bit over-brief in some ways, hashing needs a little more. But overall, this is very useful. It gave me some confidence over slidepacks I've done as basic introductions, but rather then spin my own I'd like to point to words like this which are both curated and reviewed.

So. .. thanks!
Is it vote by mail only? California allows anyone to vote by mail, early vote, or vote in person.
Until Kennedy radically accelerated the schedule for the first moon landing and set that as a singular goal, the plans for the space program involved almost as much infrastructure building as exploration. Here's a 1955 television program where Wernher von Braun presents an earlier, more complicated plan for a Moon mission, complete with a nuclear-powered toroidal space station: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXIDFx74aSY
And never ever be able to seat on a standard chair or travel in a car? Probably not.

I would think about how to carry on common tasks with common items such as seating, sleeping, wearing clothes, etc. Perhaps 4 arms would be better than 3 given our symmetry but they're going to force the owner to use so many specially built stuff. I guess two are going to be optimal for a while.

Or attach the extra arms to a hexoscheleton and wear it only when needed.
It's not hard to imagine tobacco like lawsuits in the next decade or so that may well uncover how the likes of monsanto/bayer et al knew and hid that their products were killing too broadly, but that it was too costly to care.
People raised in Space are going to wonder what we found so enticing about living dirtside, "Fun to visit, but why anyone lives like that is beyond me. We have perfect weather, a beautiful environment, and we're already halfway to anywhere we want to go."
Android and ChromeOS show how any device support is abandoned as soon as it ships.

My phone is running kernel 3.10 (the same as rhel7, except without backported fixes), and it isn't going to get anything newer.
Very ambitious use of the word "sentient".... hubris much?
Yes, the report refers to the (US) Vietnam War and the Rolling Thunder campaign, which took place in the 1960s.
Can the OP change the title to refer to 1967?
Tiling is really in distant second place to cascade for window management IMO. Giving up overlaps and easy mouse window selection that you get from cascade seems a poor return vs forcing visible windows to be entirely visible.
Go further. Give away your entire code base as open source on github. If that will attract a community they will fix the bugs for you. And you can still sell your software to others.

The Brave ads are opt-in.

If you don't want to pay for content in some way then that is your problem and has nothing to do with Brave, Chrome, or FireFox.
Docker can help only if there is a single step in your project. In ML projects you usually have many steps - Preprocess, Train. Each of the steps can be divided: extract Evaluate step from Train etc.

Also, Docker has an overhead - copy of data needs to be created. While DVC just saves links (sym-links, hard-links or reflinks) with a minimum overhead. It is crucial when you work with multi-GB datasets.
different size, however. in servers and equipment racks, 1U = 1.75 inches.
Should be prefaced with, "I think".

Having done user research on this by speaking to data scientists, I can say that static typing is desired by a nonzero number of who practice what we would consider to be data science and machine learning. Much like how TypeScript is seen as a revelation to hordes of JavaScript programmers who have never used static types before, the ability to get some level of correctness verification at design-time matters.
A telnet game I made a while ago: telnet arin.ga 44444
Fentanyl is an easy problem to solve, let people have uncut heroin. Fentanyl and the monstrous Carfentanil are only desireable for black markets, which love the high relative potency:volume. The problem is that the ED50 and LD50 of something like Carfentanil both look like a roughly identical grain of sand. Heroin is only dangerous to the person snorting, smoking, or shooting it up, but god help you if you’re exposed to a similar amount of fentanyl, or get a single grain of carfentanil on your skin.

Legalize it, support people who use, support those who want to stop, and do it with money saved by downsizing LEO’s, CO’s and prisons. Support expanded mental healthcare with taxes from drugs (including alcohol). No black market, no piles of ultra-potent synthetic opioids shipped from China or Mexico. It’s the same thing with meth! Want to eliminate janky labs blowing up? Want to stop people dumping lab waste in the woods? Want to stop tweakers from robbing people for meth?

Legalize it. It won’t make the world paradise, it will be difficult, but it’s better than prohibition. Just like alcoholism is a scourge, but it’s still better than the same scourge PLUS Al Capone.

It shouldn't. It should use Brave since it's not Chrome.

I sort of am the target audience: I'm currently teaching C.

The lack of important standard features means I can't just say "this is C".

For teaching, normal data type sizes are important. Being able to have static data is important. Beginners need to see how these things work.

I do applaud the effort. I think it is a great idea.
Nvidia’s position seems to be that Linux needs to grow up and provide a stable driver API and ABI, and stop claiming anyone is a “bad actor” just because they don’t want to put their drivers under the GPL, make them part of the Linux kernel source tree, and essentially give up control of them.

I’m honestly surprised the major distros haven’t gotten together to do this, in a shared fork if necessary. It’s outright embarrassing that this attitude still infects the Linux project.
> In terms of sheer bang for your buck, Nvidia's cards have been on top for a while now

https://www.phoronix.com/ has a recent benchmarking of absolute card performance[1], and sometimes does performance-per-dollar, as here[2] last year with OpenCL (reporting AMD's FLOPS as cheaper... when ROCm satisfices). I've found the site helpful when tracking bleeding-edge linux support for high-end graphics cards.

You're right, and I'd agree with all of that.

Maybe one way of expressing my point of view that involves fewer potentially wrong predictions of the future is: I feel like the SIMD programming model is now becoming accepted as general purpose computing, rather than that GPUs are particularly specialized. The GPU model is different than CPU, but not that specialized anymore. I may be drawing a subjective line. I do expect GPU programming to continue getting easier both hardware and software wise, but I also feel like, for exactly all the reasons you mention, more and more people are aware of and accepting the GPU limitations in search of that performance.
Oh man - I feel a lot of history with these images - they actually inspired one of the first online businesses I tried to make.

I wanted to put one of these images on my wall, but they were niche enough that I couldn't find anybody selling them. I printed one myself using Zazzle, but then I started thinking that it would be cool to create a place where anybody could share cool niche images they found and have them automatically be available as a poster. I built my site - https://postercoop.com - over a couple of months at the beginning of last year.

Per probably the second-most common fate of hacker projects (after not getting finished at all), I lost interest before doing much marketing or figuring out any sort of product/market fit, but it definitely an empowering experience to at least see a project through to going live on the internet and learn for myself that "build it and they will come" is for the most part a wishful fantasy :D
Why am I reading this?
I'm curious, what sites don't work? Firefox on android has been fine for me.
Based solely on the title, I assumed this article was going to be about Jeff Bezos. We're entering a brave new world where all compute is rented from Bezos and can only be used for the furtherance of his agenda. The recent tabloid scandal kinda speaks to the underlying problem. When given documentary evidence of a tryst between Bezos and a married woman, these people did the right thing and tried to blackmail him. Bezos somehow managed to turn this into a story about his endless accomplishments and his courage in the face of adversity! Bezos isn't even competing against other companies anymore because that would be too easy. Bezos is actually competing against the rest of humanity now. We're entering the era of Bezos Purpose computing.
The technical meaning of "sentient" is "capable of feeling". It's opposed to "sapient", which means capable of thinking.

It's a reasonable adaptation of the term to have it mean "capable of transmitting touch signals to the wearers nervous system" in the context of prosthetics.
> You're confused in thinking republicans are the "political enemies of the clintons"

Surely you jest.
Just like assuming all animals with wings can fly. Yes, there are penguins. But in general, both assumptions are true in 99%+ of cases.
For now. If the rise of Google has taught us anything it’s to analyze a business in terms of its likely future, not its present spin and PR. If all it takes to make more money is to flip a switch, then it’s reasonable to worry that such a flip is just a matter of wider adoption and time.
Really, no. This is official:

A blog entry with an experience of one user is just a blog entry with an experience of one user, and has exactly that much relevance, no matter where it is hosted. Where do you see that it was "peer reviewed" or that it is somehow or somewhere claimed to be a "recommended way" for anything at all?

You surely can't interpret your own belief (which is wrong) and claim that it's an "official" recommendation for "the way" something is to be done "in general" when writing D. It is just your own belief. You can only claim that you have subjectively and personally got that impression (that the post is more relevant than it is) but nothing more.
Not true, they also come with hardware enablement updates (new kernel, graphics drivers, X and Wayland).

Seconding this. You seem to have great taste in technical reading material :)
That's cool, I hope it works out for you! I've thought about this kind of thing too.

I think for most mainstream programming languages, the market for books, blogs, tutorials, youtube channels is pretty much saturated. However, I have worked with several proprietary / vendor products over the years that have perfunctory documentation, not much in the way of a user community, where serious users end up having to experiment + reverse engineer things to get it working well.

I think it could be interesting to become a third party "expert" for such a product, blog about tips and tricks, offer training and consulting, write books, etc. I guess it's the same as what you're doing, just not for a "popular programming language", but for something slightly specialized but still actively used.
Wow, that is a crazy good article. I aspire to be able to write that clearly about such a complex and messy topic. And, it did its job as a promotional piece because TIL about Smallstep

The planet is going to be soon full of 9 billion humans, many desperately hungry and thirsty.

Africa and West Asia is the sole source of this increase. We need an urgent program to strip away food aid and replace it completely with education for women, family planning, and incentives for sterilisation and not having any or only one child.

Additionally the West needs to disallow all immigration and refugee settlement from poor countries. We should not provide a pressure release valve for overpopulation, nor harvest the few human resources that would otherwise help develop and modernise these countries.

I would rather have millions of insect, plant and animal species still alive than billions of excess humans clinging to life via destructive subsistence agriculture.
