Yip. Can concur. Went in once during the first emergency episode and woke up feeling strangely tranquil. Happy is the only word I’d use during a time of my life riddled with chaos and uncertainty.

I went under a second time for the removal of the stent and used this second experience to confirm that it was indeed the anesthetic that confers this happy feeling post op.

I wouldn’t wish kidney stones for my worst enemies though. That pain is horrible.
The EU seems to work fine without the sort of litigation culture the US has. Punitive damages aren’t a thing here either, and not all menber countries even have class action lawsuits in their legislation.

Speaking of legal responsibility, there is also a legal responsibility to not discriminate (even if inadvertantly) against the disabled. This seems like a pot of gold style quick fix, which is why I have strong reservations about its viability.
The most amusing part is that Huawei developed 5G tech on its own - nokia has shit and e/// is not better.
Even in regards of 4G massive MIMO tech - Huawei is years ahead of other, they couldn't steal this tech from anyone - because one one had it.
Yes it is, which is the main issue because apart from impact on land, corn-fed cows do excrete(?) more methane than grass-fed.
I mean -- timestamp your files in ProDOS? Control your sweet X10 home automation setup? Clock your employees in and out? Run your BBS?
It does exist in single user environments. What about a desktop/phone that runs untrusted code? e.g. every browser that supports JavaScript.
Why the mitigations are even on by default, if the problem doesn’t exist for dedicated single user environments? (desktops/laptops/dedicated server hardware with no code from other users running).

Most desktops and laptops run a boatload of untrusted code in the form of JavaScript.

This is a fascinating approach and would actually solve a lot of the problems I've had with trying this before. I would love to hear more if you had anything additional to add because this method has become the top of my list after trying several software packages mentioned thus far.
I'd say most people were probably more hopeful that the world had moved past that modus operandi for bootstrapping growth. There are many things that might have been considered par for the course decades ago that we think of as beyond the pale today.

Not an intruding party?! Well who the heck invited them to the conversation!!

I was assuming it would be thrown out because they only collected metadata and if they didn’t pull full audio that they didn’t meet a required element.

Luckily the wording implies that it’s not that the judge found from the evidence that they were an invited party, just that the claim failed to properly lay the foundation in their briefs?

I hope they refile.
Hilarious how the one guy who understands math is way at the bottom.

Yes, population is the core problem, and there's no avoiding that fact. There's no easy solution to it--increased education and wealth slowly reduce the birth rate, but that takes generations and is far from certain. Absolutely critical--and very easy--would be dropping immigration from countries with net-positive birth rates to zero. Good luck finding support for that among people concerned with climate change.
No, didn't have flash or java installed before XP; and as I said below - gifs sure, no don't remember any popups on czech sites i visited.
Which is why this trope about China ruling the world is crap. Generally speaking they are good at copying, reverse engineering, and cheap labor. The country's MO is to steal designs and process and implement better. When the west finally figures out how to stop letting China steal/copy - then the West will continue innovating, and China won't have anything to make.
Or, it’s logic. Instead of blanket dismissal of everyone that doesn’t agree with you, why don’t you engage individually and help them understand your point of view. You may even find that you need to update your thinking rather than just claiming an entire group of people are deluded.
I worked for OnDeck for almost four years. I really like their business model/product.

You hit the nail on the head with regards to why banks don't like "small" loans. It costs them almost as much to underwrite a $10 mil loan as a $100k loan, so they know which of the two they prefer.
This must have been happening while he was alive
Sometimes I dream like that. It's the oddest bthing to dream something with the fidelity of, or even above, ones default conscious experience.

Clear enough to afterwards, even years later, be able to recall the exact color and texture of the floor tile glazing, just how a doorway arched, and precisely how a distinctly non human entity looked and acted.

Curiously, at least to me, it's primarily a profoundly visual experience. Sound, touch, and smell is rarely, if ever, prominent in those dreams. Maybe the clarity of vision somehow drowns them out, or maybe I simply don't dream much in sound, but it only becomes apparent when the visual experience is almost jarringly clear.
"Starting in 1990s, the growth in global methane levels began to slow down, and global methane became relatively stable over the period of 2000-2006. A resurgence of global methane was not anticipated and came as a surprise."

If it's been rising for centuries and is continuing to rise now, shouldn't the six year period of stability be the anomaly, not the fact that it's continuing to increase?
what a disgusting and disturbing idea.
We need both. The majority of homeless could be rehabilitated. But there's a significant fraction that are too dangerous for "community care", to themselves and others. Care for both categories is underfunded.

> Given that Facebook already takes a full copy of all of my contacts (I use WhatsApp)

I recommend using web apps, not native apps, for things like Facebook. Your browser will not hand over your contacts list to the world, so preferring your browser is often a good move. Won't work for everyone, but it works for me.

You can also choose apps from orgs that care more about privacy. Signal works just fine instead of Whatsapp.
Except the same empty arguments were made against Japan, and were levelled against the nations producing the imported cotton cloth that people were starting to buy in preference to long established Lancashire cotton mills.

"Don't buy Japanese electronics or motorcycles, they only make poor cheap copies" would be commonly heard in the seventies and early eighties. They easily - and quickly - moved past that phase, as will China. They mostly already have.

In each case the complaining nations have been happy to supply tooling and equipment to enable this.

Psychology and physics are two independent and different fields. Physics wasn't built on top of psychology and vice versa. What language of psychology do you need to talk about physics and vice versa? Newtonian physics and einstein physics or quantum physics may be better examples? Or psychology with developmental psychology, behavioral psychology, etc.

Are you saying Turing, the world famous mathematician, didn't use any mathematical ideas? Are you talking about "On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem" where he laid out the algorithm to the Turing machine? Are you saying there was no logic behind the Halting Problem? You do realize that his 1936 was filled with mathematical proofs? The paper you referenced is one of the world's most famous mathematical papers. Just because it isn't full of numbers doesn't mean it's not mathematics. Do you think Euclid's elements is part of mathematics?
It’s all about ownership and agency. If a company gathers this data, does this analysis, and uses it for their own reasons without giving the monitored people a say - that’s a distopian nightmare. BUT as GP describes, it’s a tool within your control, helping you improve your life. That’s ok with me.
Instagram does this in several ways. You can't post 'stories' unless you give camera and microphone permission - even for existing videos and photos, when you have no desire to use their app to record. At first you could, now it's more restrictive.

Same for adding location to photos. On iOS you can deny the permission and still enter location manually. On Android, you can't enter a location manually unless you give the app location permission. Totally not useful, either - location info is already embedded in the photo and I really don't need the help of GPS to determine my current location.
Heh I remember that. Pretty sure it used the classic “force an army of grad students to manually review everything “ approach
This is clearly very subjective and open to interpretation, because my reading of that very article shows it’s in agreement with my earlier post:

> These rules are exactly the kind of "further restrictions" that are prohibited by the GPL

I guess the middle ground is this line:

> That's the problem in a nutshell: Apple's Terms of Service impose restrictive limits on use and distribution for any software distributed through the App Store, AND the GPL doesn't allow that.

(emphasis mine)

Note that BSD licensed code is perfectly fine on the Appstore, because the BSD license is a permissive license.
From a purely non-scientific standpoint my Latitude E7470 performance is below an acceptable threshold now.

FWIW: I haven't done any benchmarks - This is purely anecdotal!

I use VS 2017 / 2019 and the performance is definitely taken a noticeable hit since the last BIOS update.

Opening projects is slow but once they're open the processor is pegged for longer and when using intellisense the process is pegged for longer now too. It's at the point where I looked to replace it even though it was fine up until Jan/Feb this year.

I tried backing out the BIOS update but it failed so I am stuck with it now.

I even bought a NVMe SSD which helped with IO a bit, and upped the RAM to 16GB but the processor is a huge bottleneck now.

It is bad enough that I even had a Surface Book 2 15" for a week to test it and its performance is rotten as well so I returned it

My desktop with an 8700K O/C to 5GHz hasn't had a BIOS update since early 2018 (I think) and is instantaneous for most things: needless to say, I have no intention of updating it.

This is bad for Intel... really bad imo.

Edit: Added the NVMe and RAM bit.
Just the inconsistency makes it very unusable.
It hasn’t been useful for the past 2-years since they’ve stopped making firmware updates for that device.

> Nice. DNS has grown notoriously complex over the years and it is hard work to run a standards compliant service. Congratulations.

Running your own private recursive resolver is very easy.

Edit: I believe people are confusing running a DNS nameserver with running a DNS resolver. The former might be hard, the latter is very easy.
Yeah, with just a XOR checksum this would be pretty dangerous even for reads. Of course, in those days you could probably sell someone a $50 FIFO buffer to work around the disk controller problems :)

How about enabling mitigations in Javascript engines?
No, it means drastically reduce the population size; the implementation of this is orthogonal to the point.
It's a fascinating article. What can we make of students who look at China's history, and conclude the answer is more communism rather than less?

Are they unaware of the history of other communist regimes, unaware that the only thing that sets China apart from everywhere else Marxism was tried is that they went much further with getting economic growth back via free market reforms? What does Qiu Zhanxuan think would be different if "real Marxism" and "not dog meat passed off as lamb" were to be implemented in China? Is he totally unaware of how China was under Mao? It's easy to believe his understanding of Chinese history is garbled beyond recognition, but obviously he understands some of it at least.

It's of course also interesting that this is happening at the most 'elite' university in the Chinese system. In England during the cold war, the intelligence agencies were repeatedly penetrated by Soviet moles - something that was possible because these agencies only recruited from Oxford and Cambridge, both hotbeds of communist sympathy. It seems that the most selective universities in any society end up breeding communist students. My guess is it's because communist societies tend to be run by academics, and implicitly or explicitly are based on the belief that democratic societies are bad because the academic elite don't get to make decisions alone.
Yes, and this code is contained within the Javascript engine. Mitigations could be enabled only there.
Fun things happen if you do this and run your hardware outside the US: most countries use 50hz mains AC.
From Wikipedia:

In 2011, Bose donated a majority of the company's non-voting shares to MIT on the condition that the shares never be sold. Because these shares are non-voting, MIT does not participate in operations or governance of Bose Corporation.

What the heck is the point of owning shares if you can't sell them and you can't influence the direction of the company? That sounds like an accountant's joke.

(Presumably the benefit comes from the fact that Bose Corporation pays dividends, but nothing stops the other shareholders from deciding to cut or stop dividend payments. MIT certainly has no way to stop them.)
On iOS location access is a workaround for being able to kinda stay awake in the background. Some photo sync apps do that so they can (near) constantly sync your photos.

On that subject, I really wish Apple would allow me to use photos app to sync with a network share.
Yes but you consented to that.
This works with this service. You can associate your public IP (your router's WAN) with a custom blocking configuration. Then you put their AnyCast IP address in your DHCP server's DNS server list. The local devices will use that address, be seen from your public IP, and get the custom config you want.
> Obviously that only applies to grass-fed cattle.

There is simply not enough land to replace all meat supply with grass-fed cattle meat. So if we all want to eat meat from grass-fed cattle only, that would mean exactly radical reduction in meat consumption.

How to Ruin a Perfectly Good Container

It does. I am talking about technology in its broadest interpretation. Fundamental physics is a very different market than the on established on top of microchips.
Some numbers and sources would be nice.

I suspect that the availability of contraception is being over estimated.

Even in Poland I had Catholic hardliner pharmacists refuse to sell me morning after pills, and in some cases, regular birth control pills.

In any case, availability of contraceptives just gives people choices, and what people choose depends on lots of things, economic and otherwise.

Spreadsheetfs: FUSE Virtual Filesystem in a Google Sheet
I've been curious about this for a while. Seems like it is a lot of work but could be useful in small sustained bursts of effort (maybe 2 months) - much like diet logging. Will yield some insights and benefits and you don't have to keep it up forever.

Anyone have suggestions for software or other tools? The article explained motivations but was pretty light on the methods. To stretch the analogy above, is there a MyFitnessPal for this or do people's aims vary enough the everyone just rolls their own spreadsheets?
Interesting, I believed that propofol alone is enough to not feel pain, I wasn't aware that opioids are also used at the same time.
Another alternative, I used this years ago (only works with FB):

I absolutely love the transition of propofol sedation. It's like the moment you dive into your pillow after a very, very long tiresome day. Where sleepiness feels more than justified, and you're allowed to follow.

Weird thing, I always start to talk English (German native speaker) while drifting away. Since I was a little ashamed of that, I once told the technician beforehand and he replied it's quite common and a known observation.
I live in th UK, I’d suggest transporting it from Australia to the other side of the world would have some ethical implications
I am amazed we somehow found out about all these concoctions. They seem to go so far from the norm without killing you. How are they engineered in the first place?

My moment was not propofol but another medicine for nausea/vomit - it worked in seconds just when I had resigned myself to throw up. I was shocked. How?
The title sounds like an SCP entry on a K-class scenario.
> "I need people that can learn things at least as complicated as git, because they’re gonna have to keep up."

Not to get off topic, but it's your #1 job as team leader to put your people in the best position to succeed. Pounding you fist on desk and shouting "keep up" doesn't cut it.

The question here isn't what is or isn't learnable. The question is, why so much tension and friction (i.e., using the CL) when a visual representation is actually the far better representation of the model / data?

Keep up? Why are we tossing rocks in their toolbox?

There aren't such mitigations to enable. There aren't even purely software kernel-level mitiations.
The colonies were entirely dependent upon Britain until the Declaration of Independence was signed, a bold and surely terrifying act that seems to have worked out ok for the US.

The author dismisses the 'remote control' of the UK by Brussels and the fact that UK citizens can't even vote for their own laws or rulers, saying he "gets all that." I don't think so. If he did, he would understand why self determination is, to many people, more important than self protection. IMHO, this is the issue at the heart of Brexit.
I increasingly feel that this is what it must have been like with the rise of Nazi Germany - I have frequently asked myself "how come people still supported Germany as it was heading in that direction? Why didn't other countries oppose it harder?". Well, I think I know how now - because it's invisible from the outside. I'm not saying that China wants to attack its neighbours and take over the world - but fuck, there's estimated to be over a million people in "reeducation" camps in China. The survailance apparatus judges you if you are being a "good" citizen with harsh consequences for doing anything that the party doesn't approve of. Censorship is widespread. And yet, people don't seem to have hugely negative feelings towards China. Most people I know wouldn't even object to going there on holiday. I honestly feel that in 20-30 years we're going to look back and say "how did we not see this? Or how did we ignore this?".
