That's essentially it.

China made it a strategic goal to become globally dominant in rare earths. It was a position the US held previously. China's share of the market eventually climbed into the high 90% range. It's now back down to closer to 70% to 75% depending on the source. Between their state subsidies for the sector, meant to maintain their position, and their willingness to ignore the environmental disaster that the rare earth metals industry often is, they can simply do it cheaper than everyone else.

Japan's moves after China used rare earths against them a decade ago, were extremely successful. They were largely responsible for the drop in China's market share.

The US has been very irresponsible about this. It's pretty wild that the military industrial complex has not been forcing the issue extremely aggressively. It would not be difficult for the US to be entirely self-sufficient on rare earths.

If the US were not so circus-like on matters of strategic importance (too many clowns focused on everything that isn't actually important), it would immediately put $10-$20 billion to work with the Army Corp of Engineers and whatever US mining companies were necessary (the US has several of the world's largest miners), and it'd nationalize the Mountain Pass mine as an issue of extreme national security. There would be no niceness, no pleasantries. All environmental reviews would be ignored as a matter of national security, it would be a violent rush to production no matter the initial cost. It would then ramp up production enough to deflate China's position down toward 50% globally (through a combination of domestic production and working with foreign partners eg in Australia and elsewhere to boost their production further asap), and ensure the US has a lever it can always use if China tries to pull this again. It's simply taking the club out of China's hands on this issue. And as far as stupid spending goes, this would not be all that expensive.

The US would further use the nationalized mine (ideally do this with multiple mines) - in a modestly subsidized fashion over time - to build up an enormous stockpile of rare earths, exactly like and for the same reason as the strategic petroleum reserve. The US has a small version of this now, it should increase that drastically.
Micro-ops aren't RISC. Instructions like VFMADD132PS perform a dozen of math operations, combined with RAM access, yet decode into a single micro-op.

Fighting Malaria will presumably enable humans to settle in more areas than before, which will in itself do a lot of ecological damage.

Once you have more than about 150mm (6”) of insulation a typical building will be losing more energy through air leakage than through conduction. CLT in particular is excellent for airtightness because it is pretty airtight in of itself and it comes in big accurately machined panels which minimises the number of joints that need to be sealed up.
It's a great idea. If you additionally also like working with chroots you might find containers an interesting topic.

Basically a container let's you wrap a part of your filesystem, network, process space in a separate world of its own. And in that world you have only the context related stuff like history, processes, libs etc. Additionally most container environments come with tooling that enables you to make everything reproducable, so that you can share your container with others.

The great thing is you can always live in global space, while switching between what that global space means.
Not really sure how that is considered as verification. Sistrunk is spending effort that does not give confidence that the reviews are based on factual events and reviewers are accountable, but that is a tough ask even for established new sites.

Revolut just released Apple Pay in multiple countries
I've hired US citizens to the Netherlands frequently. Basically, only needs for work permit & visa are A) company is whitelisted by the immigration services and B) the pay for the job meets a certain threshold (which is the main proof it's a 'highly-skilled' job). This threshold is a bit different in different cases, but in most cases anything 60K and up is sufficient. If the netherlands/amsterdam would be an option, connect with me and I'm happy to help. (I know most companies that can & will hire from non-EU). https://nl.linkedin.com/in/janbernhart
I think you should consider the differences between types of extremism.

The difference between Stallman and Fox News is that Stallman's extremism is well reasoned and consistent while Fox News is only consistent in serving the interests of "the man behind the curtain". Stallman offers a base for logical reasoning while Fox News offers a bunch of positions only good for uncritical acceptance.

Those "pools" are already man-made ecological systems. Not much to upset there. And you really don't want to live in a swamp, so any swamps that occupy desirable real estate are pretty much f*ed anyway.

I know that certain species of Killifish in Africa can survive and reproduce in pools left behind by foot-prints. So, yes, quite interesting micro-ecosystems can exist.

Yes indeed almost 100% is an exaggeration, nuts are in general mostly fat, typically 70% to 80%. I think they are an awesome food by the way, shown to be very healthy, unlike oil.

Its very different eating nuts from eating oil, because nuts are whole foods, you are getting a lot more than the fat when you eat a nut, as you mention.

But they are to be eaten in moderation, not by the bags.

The quote about olive oil I heard in one of Dr McDougall videos on oil on YouTube, although which video I cannot tell.

Probably in this video he will talk about it, it's his longest video on oil - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptF0KuF8xHU&t=74s

Anyway, my bottom line is that oil is not a health food, unlike popular belief.

Reasons being: it's almost only liquid fat with little nutritional content (those vitamins can be easily obtained elsewhere), and it's the number one source of hidden calories in food and one of the multiple causes for the obesity epidemic in the west.

Easting olives is healthy, but eating olive oil is not. Eating an extract of a food is very different from eating the whole food.
Akismet is a third party service that works really well. You send data there with a HTTP POST and it will reply with a yes or no, it is spam or not spam. It is not that hard to implement. You do have to be aware that you are sending user data to that service, which you have to mention in your privacy policy.

Stop Forum Spam is a similar third party service. You send it an ip address and an email address. It will reply on both items if it is spam, together with a confidence level. Quite interesting way to reply :) It is originally intended to fight registration spam, but you can use it for comment spam or contact forms as well.

JavaScript spamfilters can be very usefull. Most spambots do a HTTP GET for a page with a form. They fill in all the fields and submit it with a HTTP POST. They don't run any JavaScript on that page. You can have honeypot and timeout fields on a form that get manipulated by JavaScript, and spambots will not validate. Works really well, and all transparent to the user. The only "risk" is that in the future spammers might start using more sophisticated spambots, like using Electron or Chromium. I implemented spamfilters like this in a WordPress plugin and it works really well for me: https://wordpress.org/plugins/la-sentinelle-antispam/
Surely that's pretty much valid regardless of how you store them?
I felt probably like a Hikikomori when I moved to the other side of the country for my now ex and worked remote for two years. I basically never left the house except for walking the dog and doing grocery shopping. I had no friends and no real social life except when my ex and I visited her friends and family or if I flew back to my hometown.

Even as an introvert I felt fucking miserable for the entire time. I enjoy solitude but that shit wasn't it, it was isolation.

It depends on the subject. If you believe that climate change doesn't exist, that we never went to the moon or that the earth is flat, you are just plain wrong and I am right.

Predictable negativity from the comments here ignores that over one million people die of malaria per year.

Not using what we can against something this horrible is a choice, too. And one that has the greater of consequences.

It's easy to poke holes in things from the sidelines. That action is actively causing us to drag our feet and kill a lot of people.

It should also be noted that mosquitoes are not depended on as a basis for any known food chain.

> Is this a roundabout way of describing stakeholders and developers?

Maybe, but not the way I skim read it.

The chord it strikes for me is nearer Agile vs Waterfall, between those who would rather quickly get a thin slice put together and those who (at the extreme opposite) would endlessly design, document and polish before producing it.

On a current project I'm the developer who wants to build the features out quickly and the stakeholder is a government client who wants to go very slowly with all the design and documentation upfront.

The fungus they use is already widespread in nature. Their "version" is probably less well adapted to nature than the "original", and should be out-competed by the wildtype at worst.

But if I understand the article correctly, the fungus is quite deadly to mosquitos, achieving "local" extinction quickly, which also stops further spreading of the fungus.
It's okay to ask.

If the answer contains personal information, it's not okay to expose it to everybody in the world.
If you hate people, why do you care to remove a weak seed from the gene pool? In any case, that would also be accomplished by simply not procreating.

My own recipe against suicidal thoughts is that life is very short anyway. There is little point in shortening it artificially (unless you are in significant pain because of health problems, perhaps).

There are two parts to terrorism: doing something terrible, and spreading the word to upset and frighten lots of people.

It's one of the oddities of modern Western societies that you can end up in jail for donating to what you think is a liberation movement in another country, but when the New York Times and The Guardian are making money by doing the second part of terrorism in their home countries, nothing happens.

A really interesting proposal to unify stream processing and relational querying and to extend SQL with a semantics over time-varying relations.

In particular, the authors (from the Apache Beam/Flink/Calcite projects) stress on the need to:

* smooth the frontier between streams and tables by using a single concept of time-varying relations;

* make explicit the difference between the event and processing times, using monotonic watermarks to tie the two;

* control when these continuously varying relations are materialized, avoiding unnecessary work and producing only timely outcomes.

These ideas are not new per se, but there are here pushed further and nicely combined.

However, I'm wondering if SQL is the right tool for the task. For instance, the listing 2 seems complex when compared to the query expressed in plain English. In particular, I disagree that "anyone who understands enough SQL to solve a problem in a non-streaming context still has the knowledge required to solve the problem in a streaming context as well.

A must read paper by who is keen on stream processing, Spark, Flink, Beam, Kafka Stream ...
Cloudflare must be mentioned when talking about recaptcha and cancer. They are the ones locking people out from whole websites and forcing you to fill out these recaptchas. They are also the ones who have almost destroyed browsing the internet using TOR due to these recaptchas.
It's not a truism if "text" includes bytes that are not UTF-8. A program would probably naturally model a filename as being text, but if that means "sequence of Unicode scalar values", it's arguably incorrect on some obscure systems, such as Linux and git.

What happens here in the background?

I can imagine at the frontend you have some JavaScript, where an input field gets filled in or something. There has to be some server side checking as well, otherwise a simple HTTP POST would submit fine.

I do like the idea, but if you need JavaScript anyway, why not have some invisible inputs. They work for now.
You are right on this one :-) I hope to see it next month and take some stunning photos.
They did have support docs stating the limitations. The agent also seemed to be well aware of the reasons for the limitations, but it sounded very much like there was a policy preventing him from confirming that when I directly asked whether it's due to DRM requirements.

It also seems that on Linux, you can't officially get more than 720p. Looks like Netflix still doesn't want my money.

(I know that there are hacks and extensions that allow some additional resolutions on some setups, but given that it's a DRM thing and not a "we don't believe the browser can handle it", I expect those to break more often than I'm willing to tolerate for a service I'm paying for.)
Telling someone with mental issues to take strong psychotropic drugs for the first time, without anyone to keep an eye of them is one of the most retarded things I've heard in a long time.

#1 Geo Personalization Software for Websites – Geo Targetly
Super interesting!
It seems like it is effective.

We were getting a lot of automated requests, and right when we put the waterwall on our page, it did a good job of picking out those users and not impacting others.

After a few days though, those users were able to start getting through again, but based on the timing between requests, it looks like they might have had to start operating the page manually.
Sure, but the first step of achieving an actual effect is to aim to achieve it, then think about how to achieve that aim.

I know that it's frustrating when even scientists sometimes act with naive recklessness. A prime example is when people in the social sciences or economics don't think about individuals' incentives enough. But in this case I doubt that the people in question are unaware of the risk of overshooting their target.
Such as switching their browser to be based on Chromium, which is controlled by Google?

The WWII Mosquito was made from plywood. Some of them sent to the tropics had problems with the moisture weakening the glue.

But AFAIK those used different glue than what is used today in plywood production, not to mention 1797.
Everybody has blind spots or moments of weakness. Scammers get a lot of practice and everyone could fall for a specific scam.

Assuming people aren't smart because they fall for a scam doesn't do them justice and it shows a lack of empathy on your part.
DNS analytics are pretty much useless for web analytics due to wildcard records, multi layer caching,etc.
I think it is best to design your own captcha around your use case. All you need to do is make the amount of work for spammers too high for targeting your site.

Just recently, I added the idea of a captcha that might actually be enjoyable for users to my list of "things that should exist":

http://www.gibney.de/things_that_should_exist

The idea is to show the user a random image and ask what is on it. If the image is beautiful, that might even be fun. And there are many sites that offer beautiful public domain images. And have tags for everything in them.

There probably are many other funny and enjoyable captcha ideas one could implement.
Read my comment again. You are restating exactly what I said.

Apple designs processors that implement the arm64 instruction set. They do NOT use processors designed by ARM (the company).
Because it's highly relevant to the article/topic?
It strikes me as odd that you'd spend the time to read an article on something you don't find interesting, and then go on to write a comment about how uninterested you are. When I come across uninteresting things online I tend to just skip them and carry on with my day.

There was a good podcast about this [0] just a couple weeks ago. They interviewed the guy who invented CAPTCHA as well as the head engineer on ReCaptcha v3.

The gist of it was that in a few years, all Captchas will be useless because machine learning is too easy and cheap. The only way to defeat spam will be to use reCaptcha v3 or something like it, because those services will use what they know about you to determine if you're a bot or not, plus their own machine learning of what "normal" behavior is for your website. It sounds like ReCaptcha v3 is basically an app level IDS.

Yes, this does seem like a bit of an edge case and I think it's probably served to highlight that people who need to protect their privacy need to take extra steps to preserve their anonymity... in this case telling sources to obfuscate her identity in their phones.

The reality is that phone databases like this are an invaluable tool in the war on robo & spam callers. I think that there should be an option in these databases to be able to tag numbers as spammers without the need to have their identity preserved. I don't use TrueCaller (I'm a YouMail user) but see numbers flagged all the time as "Real estate scam" or "Probably a Canadian Pharmacy" come up without revealing a name or affiliated company.
> Testing more than one class at the same time doesn't make it an integration test. Arbitrarily restricting a unit to map to a single method or a class is a good way to ensure that your test code is tightly coupled to the implementation.

But at least if you restrict your units to a single method, you have a chance of getting somewhat complete tests. If you're testing multiple classes with several methods each as a unit, the number of possible code paths is so huge that you know you cannot possibly test more than a small part of the possibilities.
