I don't understand why it matters for the conclusion whether lower cholesterol (or specifically LDL) is caused by diet or statins or something else altogether (if the assumption is that high LDL affects mortality).

[Edit] I just read another one of your comments that answers my question, and I think you're right: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20138685
The thing about generators was the first thing on my mind as well.
There's Chromium build at Bromite repository, but they both might be not exactly reproducible.
Thinking about it some more, there must be a break even point. Having many configurations means a higher initial development, testing and tooling effort. This breaks even only if the savings per unit accumulate to offset that overhead. So Tesla might be big enough for serious automation, but not yet big enough for actual prodyct customization on the factory floor. Pure speculation, though.

Do you know the parable of the blind men and the elephant?

If you are going to use a metric you have to show that it is relevant. It also helps if one agrees on what we are measuring.
My gut feeling is that Google won't pull this stunt with chrome, this is some kind of scare mongering or a PR tactic, I dunno.

It doesn't make a logical sense because if they are banning the ad-blockers, it means they accept that chrome is largely used by power users who can install these blockers (otherwise, what's the need?). But they should realize that a power user who installs an addon can just as easily move to another browser like firefox/brave. And the PR repercussions will ensure that a lot of newbies will leave too (because they usually follow the power users on youtube) which will essentially kill the advertising income that they wanted in the first place?
How about you post the code first and then publish the paper?
Yes, that is a thing for which you can sue.
No. If you open the browser console and type `window`, you see:

ChromeWindow chrome://browser/content/browser.xul

Visiting this link is funny by the way.

Does this complicate having a standalone Gecko though? Surely browser authors could write their own UI and embed Gecko inside without touching XUL.
Yeah it's just fan fiction.
Jup, it's quite nice!
>nowawadays you can just get all of that information off your smart-phone

Nowadays you can get all of that information off you smart-phone, but what about people that have no Internet access, no cable, no smart phone, and no regular access to any information services other than broadcast media due to cost?

I have an aunt (by marriage) that can't afford a computer, can't afford a cell phone beyond a very basic feature phone, can't afford mobile data, couldn't afford the Internet even if she had a computer, and certainly can't afford a newspaper subscription. She listens to the local radio station for her small town to keep informed about what is going on, and occasionally goes to the local library to check her email to talk to her nieces and nephews who seem to be calling less and less lately because "everybody has a smartphone and Aunt Connie can see what they're doing on Facebook".

There is a significant section of the population that relies on broadcast media to get information about their community. The fact that you do not does not mean that locally-owned, locally-focused broadcasters are a waste.
Interesting. DDG for "blueprint build tool" doesn't get anything relevant, but "blueprint build system" works fine. Sigh.
On inspection, this article turns out to be based on a "report" [1] containing 11 pages of wide-spaced text, which break down as follows:

p. 1: Title.

p. 2: List of contents, blurbs about the authours.

p. 3: Foreword by retired admiral endorsing "this policy paper", same text as in [2].

p. 4: Overview and introduction (half page empty).

p. 5: Complaint about "scientific reticence" (2/3 empty).

p. 6: Explanation of the term "existential risk".

p. 7: Rumination about existential risk management.

p. 8-9: The "2050 Scenario" justifying the title. Turns out to be nothing more than the kind of synopsis a writer might jot down while planning a short story. No new research results are presented. It's just a story.

p. 10: Discussion and policy recommendations, and the obvious reason for the retired admiral's endorsement: the last point is "Urgently examine the role that the national security sector can play in providing leadership and capacity for a near-term, society-wide, emergency mobilization of labour and resources".

p. 11: Empty, except for a "BreakThrough" footer.

So what we have here is two elderly gentlemen suggesting that the task of leading Australia should be turned over to the military, a retired admiral enthusiastically endorsing this as a great idea (shocking, I know), and a chorus of (I'm willing to bet) mostly liberal, progressive young people chiming in on the basis of a "report" which they haven't read.

The fuzz is absolutely warranted.

Added: Monsanto licenses you seeds, you are not even allowed to grow them once (i. e. you are not allowed to use next-generation seeds). And GM plants might be more adapted, and start displace the “natural” ones. And they are all owned by Monsanto.
I went down a similar path with my "system" albeit hard to call it that but moreover an itch that needed scratched. I found both of these sites useful for bouncing ideas around with other like-minded individuals.

As far as I'm aware, that's the main point of having a regulated power utility. They have to deliver universal service.

Use a glass. Every time a manager asks you to implement a feature in an unrealistic timeframe, you drop one or more pebbles into the glass. When the glass is full, no more features can be added. When management gives you time to restructure your code, you remove some pebbles from the glass.
Worker protection isn't standardised. The countries with the lowest unemployment rates have relatively dynamic labour markets.

Try France: 8.7%, was 10% as recently as 2015. Italy: 10.2%

Of course, unemployment is much worse for young workers in these countries. If you can't fire anyone then hiring is risky, so jobs tend to end up taken by older workers who then "camp" in the jobs even if they suck. Reverse ageism at work!
Also, the problem is biologic : an human has a limited ability to receive, process and integrate new information for a given period of time.

The data centers and CPUs are able to process magnitude more "information" than a single human, the market cannot be a free flow of information between humans and machines.

We have to define what the quantity of information an human can reasonably receive and give attention to, and put some limit into the market to not overhelm people.
I guess Google could still be interested in being the default engine in Firefox even with ads and tracking blocked, since it would slow down alternatives from spreading.

I would be more comfortable in Mozilla not being founded by Google though.

How?
No, you are entirely wrong. There's no part of your "analysis" that has any relation to reality. I don't understand why you keep insisting.

(I worked for two of Google's competitors in the years where they grew from a student project to a huge business. I had the opportunity to take a peek of the code of two other competitors. Many of my former colleagues helped build Bing. I also worked at Google for a few years. I was there so I would know something about it)
If you use an Android browser that supports the Chrome Custom Tabs protocol [1] such as Lynket [2][3][4] it's possible replace the Chrome tab that appears when you click/tap a link with a completely differently browser such as Brave or Firefox (inc. Focus, Nightly or Preview). [5]

By doing this you inherit the features of the replacement browser like ad-blocking and tracking protection.

I don't understand the point of this post. It's full of fluff. Is he arguing that people should open source the add-ons they create for Blender?
I was assuming most people read news on a smartphone. You do have those in NL, don't you ;) As to nobody using MMS, my point was that we've been "educated" (brainwashed) to use HTTP for everything, when MMS and carrier billing actually used to be a decent and widely accepted alternative for distributing digital media with a natural micropayment mechanism. Though Telcos are greedy af and take a hefty markup for carrier billing (I know since I've worked for them), the regulatory framework around Telcos and 3/4/5G in the EU at least takes care of monopolies.

Is there a way to fix it? Underground lines would be prohibitively expensive.
It's an extremely crappy way of measuring costs, and I've never heard of anyone using it for estimates. (And people using it as a measure of productivity are fairly universally mocked for it: "Great, I'll copy-paste me a bonus this afternoon!")
The bigger reason is to avoid taxes. If it’s paid with card, taxes have to be paid, and with cash, the merchant can make an extra 30%+ by not declaring it.
I guess depending on how fast the camera is they could turn off the screen for a fraction of a second in between frames to take a picture. Not sure if that's feasible atm though.

In practice schemes based on cryptographic hash functions work just as well and are quantum resistant. 512-bit key length is safe from quantum computers. Use bcrypt, Argon2 if you are pessimistic.

Using side channel to share single 512-bit key that is used to generate other keys keys is enough.

If moving “high risk” patients to lower cholesterol levels does not decrease mortality, why bother with statins?
It would be even more efficient if people stopped being racist/agist/sexist and hired based on merit and potential. Until then, we have laws.
He explicitly says so in the comments section:

"Blender add-ons (Python scripts using the Blender API) have to be GPL license compatible. You pay for the service to download it, not for the software. Never feel bad about harming any GPL developer by sharing her/his code. Sharing is an act of love!"
>> All have been working on sensitive stories such as French arms sales to Saudi Arabia

I read in "La Tribune" that the main export industry now in France is the armament industry.

I tried to find a reference but did not find one. However my gut feeling is that it is true, not because the size of the armament industry, but because of the deficit of the export balance since decades.
And in fact some systems are only usable because of their security. A bank that gives all accounts the same password could hardly be considered usable, neither could many websites if they did the same.
because they had high cholesterol for decades and the damage is already done. Decreasing cholesterol helps them, but they are not as healthy as someone with naturally such low cholesterol.

iHeartRadio streams support both HLS and Shoutcast. You can find the stream info for each station embedded in a JSON object on the stream page. For example, for a iHeartRadio station that I listen to occasionally, there's the following:

}
Can someone provide some context for this post?

Are there calls to change Blender's license?

Are add-on developers violating GPL? The post mentions that a bridge between open source and proprietary needs to be open source but the add-on itself doesn't?

Is it just a "how dare you sell products closed source products on top of blender?"

The business model of providing support is all well and good but it's just one. If the software is super easy to use then why would you pay?
Many thanks, updated.
I am genuinely curious why in a rich country like the USA, wires aren't dug down. I realise using my own country - Denmark - is an unfair comparison, since it's much smaller, but all wires leading to houses are dug down here. Even out in the rural countryside.

However, even a small state like Rhode Island has plenty of overhead wires, despite being a tenth the size of Denmark.

But surely a rich state like California could dig down wires in areas where it would significant benefits. The benefits are everywhere, obviously, but some areas would gain more benefits than others.

Can a state/country really be considered rich, if it cannot afford to dig down electric wires?
>The barrier to entry to radio has never been lower, which is very much a mixed bag. A lot of people are doing really stupid, really illegal stuff with cheap radio hardware. Quite aside from the legalities, it's just bad manners to splatter all over the RF spectrum.

I get this, but despite it all, I'm going to be more interested at the end of the day, in principle, in solutions that would involve low cost antenna design/filtration techniques/etc, that make the cheap stuff better compared to the buy one component that's 2x amount of an entire system kind of solutions.

Because the reality is that this genie isn't going to go back into the bottle, legalities aside or not.
Caesar ciphers? I believe they are well defined, yes. Although ROT13 itself only dates back to maybe the 70's or 80's.

Besides, I was honestly just using this as an excuse to make a more general point. I've grown frustrated with bugs and security issues arising from "fixing" input to work in a domain which was not designed to handle that input.

But as I said, it doesn't really matter with ROT13 because it isn't a serious algorithm.

Do they though? If I build a new house in the middle of nowhere, is the utility required to spend tens of millions of dollars to build out new infrastructure to serve just me? My understanding is they aren't.
To maintain relationships as an adult you need regularly scheduled recurring events. Whether its a cookout every other Sunday, a Friday happy hour, Thursday night online gaming, or anything really.

But it must be a recurring event that does not need to be planned each time, but not going is still considered something you are cancelling.

This was common knowledge until we had a generation will cell phones which greatly reduced the amount of informal regularly scheduled events. In large part because coordination is not nearly as difficult so there is less push to just set something up that occurs once every two weeks as opposed to jus doing it last minute via group chat.

The Economist reported on the "techno-nationalism" driving fear of Huawei in their August 4, 2012 cover story. https://www.economist.com/leaders/2012/08/04/whos-afraid-of-... This has been a long time brewing, though there's been a significant uptick in recent months of worries about China, e.g., Bloomberg's October article where they made up lies about Supermicro.

It makes perfect sense to me that Huawei would prep its employees on how to deal with a raid, and being prepared for the police is not solely the action of the guilty. It tells us that Huawei is afraid of the FBI. It does not tell is that Huawei is afraid of the FBI because Huawei are bad guys.
This is my main concern as well. I've tried having some discussions on this with the /r/farming subreddit and I just get down-voted
The best known quantum attack against symmetric ciphers uses Grover's algorithm to effectively halve the key size. AES-128 is considered secure against classical attacks, so assuming you have a secure side channel for key distribution, AES-256 is sufficient to defeat quantum attacks.
Every programmer?

In our team, only like two, maybe three programmers are concerned about our AWS architecture at all. I don't really know why everyone in the team should know how much the individual components of AWS cost. They should just know how to not write performance-destroying code that mandates scaling instances up.
So old broken networking tech (Jini and Javaspaces) over a fast reliable local network (a grid) in 2001.

If you've ever sat in a hiring meeting, you'd know it's straightforward discrimination, but it's positive discrimination in favor of young people . It goes like this:

"Old guy here is a low/mid level person after 20 years, so he clearly isn't a superstar. Young guy here is low/mid level person, so he has potential to be a superstar."

Hiring committees, smothered by the legal ass covering around race and sex discrimination, never even think twice about making this discriminatory argument. It's even officially enshrined in hiring plans as "expectation of trajectory", a rule that only applies to old people.
And before you say "ok but that's a logical argument", it's exactly the same logically correct argument as the (illegal) "bases on my limited knowledge, a white/Chinese/male candidate I just met is more likely to be successful at this job than a black/Hispanic/female candidate".

There's a reason Lehman Brothers going under was "the death of a wall street institution" and not "shaky money scrubbers finally tip over".

I don't own one, but I rode quite a few and sold a lot of them (mainly powered by Bosch systems) in a previous job.

It obviously depends where you live, but most of the time, it's recommended to remove the battery for fear of theft, protection from the cold (part of the year), and (obviously) charging. Protection from theft because a battery generally represents a significant amount of the total cost of the bike. A 500 Wh Bosch battery runs around $1K, and I've seen more exotic ones run up to about $2.4k. Also, they're not that easy to steal, but someone with the intent of stealing could also damage the battery enough and compromise the weather sealing (for example) which could be a significant security risk.

edit: clarification
Imagine you're a VC. Meal prep kit investments are hot. Your investors, the people giving you the money, come and say "how come you don't have the a meal prep kit startup in your portfolio?"

Your choices are:

1. Don't invest, and lose your investors to a competing VC firm.

2. Invest, even if you think it's a bad idea. Worst case if it blows up you blew up in a popular way, "I didn't do any worse than our competitors, what do you want?"

Thus once something is hot, it gets lots of investments even if the people doing the investing think it's a bad investment.

This is the same reason most mutual funds and hedge funds invest in similar ways to index funds: incentives for the fund managers are to lose in a popular way.

(This is a variant on the "principal-agent problem".)
No, not at all. Do not lean to plant based foods or grains. Grains and plants contains antinutrients. Plants don't want to be eaten, same grains. They've contain not only toxins but also many antinutrients.

If anyone wants to have a healthy life, I recommend you to read the book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration from Weston Price. Basically, eat animal products, the more local based, the best. Grass feed cattle will be the best food source for your body. Cut all carbs (sugar), fruits (man made).

There are 15 nutrients that you can only get from animal products. You can get all minerals and vitamins from animal products you don't need plants at all.
