In many cases, probably nothing. But here's what I'd do:

Stay away from places where a lot of different people touch a lot of different things - and if you have to touch those things, wipe them down first with antiseptic wipes or similar.

In addition to this - take care not to let (or get, if possible - not always easy, depending on what you do for a living, your hobbies, and just life itself) wounds happen on your skin or mouth. If you do get a wound (cut, scratch, bite, etc) - try to take care of it properly immediately; clean it, apply dressing, etc. In the case of mouth wounds (ie - you bite your tongue or lip hard enough to draw blood), about all you can do is a salt rinse and keep your teeth brushed.

Stay away from hospitals and care homes and the like - seriously, one of the best places to get an infection is in a hospital or doctor's office. It seems counterintuitive, but when you have a place where sick people congregate, not everything is going to be "squeaky clean" even when they are regularly cleaned.

You might take the extreme step of wearing some kind of mask to reduce the inhalation of bacteria and/or viruses. It won't completely stop it, but it will reduce it a little.

Don't hang around sick people? If a coworker shows up to work sick, you might want to go home yourself (explain to your boss why, first - and let them make a decision as to who should go home - likely, they'll send the coworker home first). Unfortunately, so many people have kids, and are "carriers" of stuff that don't affect them much because they do have kids, but if you don't have kids and/or don't hang around kids much - you can pick up things that way easily.

Always wash your hands thoroughly after using the bathroom. Elbow out the door if possible (or use a paper towel to open the door).

Avoid stress (easier said than done for some people) - ultimately, though, stress does weaken the immune system; this is known. Better is to understand when you are stressed, and what forms stress can take, so you can know when you are under it. Some kinds of stress aren't always easily apparent. Note that this might also apply to "good stress"; I'm not sure. If you are tired and "stressed" from an extreme workout, I am not sure if that helps or hinders your immune system during your recovery...

Ultimately, though, you can't control everything, and you have to live your life. There's probably no way to trace back to where this guy picked up his infection. If I had to make a guess, maybe the gym? It could have easily have been during a run or a walk outside as well. Or just some door he pushed open to go into a room or building. The bacteria/viruses that cause these kinds of infections and issues are all around us, and our bodies do a fairly good job of keeping them at bay. But sometimes, bad luck happens.

It's not as though this assumption hasn't been incredibly off base in the past. The entire earnings gap started off at women earning 77 cents on the male dollar, until we controlled for field, and then specific profession, and then hours worked, and seniority. Controlling for each of these things has moved the earnings gap to less than 5%, and people still will claim that the last 5% must be due to sexism. My question is, why? It's been the wrong hypothesis so far.
That's sad, because it's trivially curable, supposedly. Man, if they'd snip those male dogs' with a vasectomy, what an improvement it would be...same here north of the mexico-us border.
Did you put it in a loop to eliminate startup time?
No, this closer to the HeLa cell line. Initially it took significant effort to grow these cancer cells, but after evolution in a research environment now they easily contaminate other experiments. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HeLa

Similarly, a cancer that started in a specific dog ended up evolving to survive in different animals.

> but there's not really a substantive benefit to writing your entire app with it.

Amendment: Perhaps it's debatable what "substantive benefit" would be, but writing the whole app in it is a huge benefit if you really want to do that. That is to say, for years people wanted to write Web UI stuff in various languages, this also allows for that.

So while the concrete performance boost may not be meaningful in writing an entire web app in C, Rust, Go, Python or w/e - to the developer happiness the boost may be huge for those devs that want it.
The article addresses this:

>To clarify, several cancers can be caused by infectious entities; cervical cancer, for example, is the work of HPV, a sexually transmitted virus. But in those cases, the cancer itself is not infectious and cannot spread. CTVT is different: Each cancer cell is a free-living parasite that can set up another tumor on another dog.

HPV can also (rarely) cause cancers of the throat and penis.
Can't say I know the guy so well but the impression I've gotten is that he:
a) has a disproportionate number of right leaning types one who...
b) tend to be more likely to make absolute statements which he tends to let pass by without much argument

Now (b) is pretty subjective on my end so it's not worth discussing, but I wonder if there's been any kind of attempt to cover what way his guests tend to skew? Does it lean right because more left leaning types are unwilling to go on (out of a perception that he's right leaning) or does Joe/whoever picks the guests unintentionally skew the show by the kind of guests they find most appealing to talk to (not necessarily agree with).
Human cancers aren't contagious, at least not the way the cancer in the article is. Some risk factors for cancer, like HPV, are contagious in humans, but those aren't cancers themselves.

The "lie" (which was not a lie at all) that you were told actually meant that you can't get cancer from being around someone with cancer. That's still true.
From those I know who have sold their side projects, the buyers usually came to them. I'm not aware of a marketplace for this.

I doubt it. You're probably being downvoted because you quoted the answers from the article, and then typed those questions immediately below.

Bots, shills and morons "steering the sentiment" to confuse, befuddle and seed doubt in people's minds. We have to take decisive action now and be undeterred by BS or games.

I remember looking into this package when I was trying to find a way to organize all my commands in emacs, but found that what I'd actually wanted was to be able to make any key a modifier key.

Like, if bn takes me to the next buffer, I wanted bnnn to take me three buffers over. I didn't expect it to be a dealbreaker, but over time it got more and more irritating to me.

I wonder how hard it would be to modify the package to work that way. I guess you'd have to make it so it doesn't actually insert a letter until you release a key to establish it's not being used as a modifier, which I'm not sure if emacs is in control of

I think this is generally true (the distinction between innate and conscious bias). Still, I am curious what kind of experiment might be able to reveal such innate biases (perhaps if an applicant worked remotely and their name and sex were hidden, but that is not easy to setup in many circumstances).
What do you think of what we are building @ https://github.com/nanovms/nanos ? We are all about taking things away from the general purpose operating system and only focusing on what is needed to run a given service in prod.
My general impression is the Media Lab is sort of framed as the successor to the old AI lab, a kind of research crown jewel of MIT. Ito is its director and thus shares in its glory and builds on it. I've seen a variety of press releases over the years polishing and building that glory up. I've seen a lot of smart names associated with it over the years.

I'm not, professionally, interested in its research direction so I don't pay attention to its research really. :: spreads hands ::
Speaking to your second point, the faculty's political leanings depend a lot on the department, and even then you can be surprised at the varied political views within a single department. Some of my profs in my dept. seemed very liberal, but that doesn't mean they won't sexually harrass people. I've overheard my old profs talk about women's breasts in their offices across from mine (this was a former job).

And there are some profs who will straight up leer at their students. It only takes one or two like this to cause a lot of tension in a workplace.
Short answer: no.

There are a variety of apps that _assist_ you with becoming fit, wealthy, and more productive. But the app itself isn't the golden ticket. It still takes dedication, commitment, and perseverance.

I agree with most of your comment except that installing a bed in a private jet is pretty normal.
If only user tracking was limited to product ads. Behaviour control and propaganda are a thing, as evidenced many times over with Rohingya genocide, US elections, Brexit, and the Hong Kong pro-democracy protests to name but a few.

Super happy to see WebAssembly Interface Types in development!

At Wasmer (disclaimer, I'm the founder!) we've been creating integrations with a lot different languages (C, C++, Rust, Python, Ruby, PHP, C# and R) and we agree that this is a pain point and an important problem to solve. We're excited that Mozilla is also pushing this forward.

If you want to start using WebAssembly anywhere: https://wasmer.io/

Keep up the good work! Let's bring WebAssembly everywhere!
It seems like they've offered this same bundle a couple of times now. I bought it years ago, and one or two books may be different but I've seen a roughly similar bundle a number of times.
Officially underlisting the volume, even if the state privately responds in an appropriate manner[1], ends up being misleading to the public and downplaying the environmental damage that's on-going. During the Keystone protests it was often repeated how small most spills are - now I'm curious if these small spills are just being under-reported.

1. Which I have extreme doubts about, but I'll just ignore that for a moment.
> There's a reason why coal is hauled to power station, instead of being burned near mines.

Not really.

Power stations need a ready and ample supply of water for power generation and cooling. This is why they can often be a long way from mines and oil/gas fields.
I would be inclined to reply with the suggestion that they might begin to consider whether they might perhaps benefit from some assertiveness training.
Bell Labs can just show up in this competition, say 'the transistor', drop the mic and walk out. Media Lab has always been, by design, about outreach and demos and fundraising as much as (if not more than?) about research. Comparing it to real research institutions on the basis of research is never going to come out flattering.
Research Retrospectives
Ha - I did exactly this a decade ago in my Hypnocube products to avoid the tight bands on HSL color space. When animating colors along a hue cycle, the cyan and yellow would go by too fast. So I implemented piece-wise splines through the hue component, and I tune the parameter for each LED type we use to make them perceptually pleasing.

Nothing new under the sun and all...
This work is about the very early steps of the primate visual pathway -- retina to LGC to the input layer of V1. Marr's opus is meant to be a much more wholistic view of the visual system. A more appropriate context for this article is perhaps David Hubel's (very accessible) Eye, Brain, Vision.

(The book used to be freely available on a website hosted by Harvard Med, but I can't seem to find it anymore.)

FWIW, I work a little bit in computational neuroscience. While I think "ground breaking" is an exaggeration, and I wish the article spent more time explaining the general thinking in the field and why it matters, the content is not terribly written for an article of this type and length. And it should be emphasized that the point of this modeling is really understanding the biology of the primate visual system; what it says about the general problem of vision is a separate question.

Disclaimer: I was not involved in this work, but did collaborate with one of the scientists extensively in the past.

Not really. I don't know about non-nuclear subs, but this is several orders of magnitude too low to be space effective for use on subs. I cant find any official public info, but suffice it to say subs run closer to 2MWs than 2KWs
I'm not sure that condensate is the same thing as "oil" - if I am thinking correctly, it's probably closer in appearance to lighter fluid than anything else. Still nasty in large quantities, but not a great loss of monetary value.
Yes, just like downstream and upstream for rivers.

I wonder what's the best way to handle company emails. Like support _at_ serpapi.com or contact _at_ serpapi.com.

We've tried a couple of ticket systems. ZenDesk and Intercom. However I feel it's making email a 2nd class citizen. Like native emails feels better for ourselves and I would believe customers.

Germany for First Time Sells 30-Year Bonds Offering Negative Yields
Bagehot's dictum: During a financial panic, the central bank should lend freely against good collateral to solvent firms at a penalty rate. The moral hazard arises because as the lender of last resort, the central bank is inevitably providing funds at a below market rate. This could encourage investment by those who can hope for a bailout and not face the full negative effects of the risk they've undertaken. However, so long as there's a penalty rate, this should control (if not completely overcome) the relevant moral hazard that might arise from the loans and (if you look at the system as a whole and the costs of the panic), the moral hazard is often worth enduring.

I disagree. I could quite easily see this resulting in companies using old browser versions, or hacking in a potentially exploitable way to get MITM access. An enterprise CA is at least a fairly well-known and understood risk.

I also don't see why I shouldn't be able to have an internal CA for my internal services.

He’s hilarious. He’s a big blowhard dummy, and if someone can’t watch his show for the entertainment value of laughing at him, then I very seriously doubt they have the mental defenses to watch mainstream political commentary without blindly downloading the opinions of the commentator into their own head.
It's largely true, and teaching it that way to school kids is important so they don't avoid friends/family who may have cancer of some sort. My son's friend has cancer and it was one of his first questions - "can I catch it?"

The rare human cancers that are transmissible like cervical cancer get covered in sex-ed, and interventions like condoms are effective.
To those less wealthy than you, you are part of the category "those more wealthy than me" - that is, part of the enemy. They aren't joining with you to fight against the people richer than you. They're intending to fight against you. (At least, I believe that's chasd00's point.)
I have no "position", what are you even talking about? You introduced a claim in this conversation. It would be nice to have the data to back it up, but sure, you can feel or think whatever you want. If you don't care to defend your opinion or views, then it doesn't matter at all, and this thread is not really going to be productive for either of us.
What Albert Einstein Owes to David Hume’s Notion of Time
Blessed sanity. Thank you.
The leaking of sensitive data due to DCE'd memset is an interesting one. Generally, compilers are free to temporarily move data around to a lot of places, such as on the stack for register spilling. Is there any programming language at all which allows sensitive data to be annotated in such a way that the compiler will promise not to leak it to memory indefinitely in some sense? (E.g. all places that the data may be written to are cleaned up before reaching some sort of security boundary)
The power generation potential given is in units which make it almost useless. A kWh is a unit of energy, converted into a frame of reference more useful than the joule. Saying that a device can generate 2 kWh doesn't really tell you much - it could generate that in 10 seconds (good) or 10 years (bad).

I think the quoted figure was meant to be in kW - a unit of power, which is a much more useful piece of information. I looked at the original paper (here: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1907.13170.pdf) but couldn't find any reference to the 2kWh quoted from the researchers.

If the suggestion is correct, and a 10mx10m panel can generate 2kW, then there's some really interesting potential applications. History has shown that the path towards robust technology is normally by making things solid state - vacuum tubes to transistors, solar collectors to solar panels, even helicopters to drones all benefited from a huge decrease in mechanical complexity.
Particularly if one is citing Gladstone as a candidate for greatest Victorian. Gladstone caused quite an uproar in saying that Jefferson Davis was making a nation--this was very much the opinion of much of the British ruling class, but Gladstone was in the Cabinet.

I don't know if you followed the whole "Trump is a Russian Spy" narrative over the past two years, but I see little difference between MSNBC & CNN vs. FOX, except that they play for different teams. I do regret the rise of yellow journalism, but it seems to have occurred as a result of: 1) increased competition for American attention and segmentation of American public 2) 24/7 cable news format and 3) competition with alternative media like YouTube. Ultimately it's the segmentation and the complete fracturing of dialog between the different segments that has led to a breakdown in civility, interesting debate, and moderation.

Join Haiku Project / Write lots of code to make a / Unified OS
Probably an unpopular opinion but I've noticed when labeling the reasons for something as being due to systematic sexism, or racism, the statement implies something greater and beyond an individuals control is holding them back, rather than personal choice, or maybe a multitude of variables.

This creates and easy explanation/scapegoat for a problem rather than trying to actually figure out all variables involved.

It very well could be that when taking into account all the variables, it is systematic sexism/racism or whatever the claim may be. However one should be careful to jump on the ship that claims sexism/racism first without looking at all the other reasons and factors that could be at work. (Biological differences, family vs career importance, instances of sexism/racism, instances of reverse sexism/racism [helping an individual solely based on their race/sex], subjective influence, personal upbringing etc.)

I did say that there is short-term variation in ROI, in particular based on risk. However all economic ventures in a competitive market do tend toward zero expected economic return, i.e. an expected ROI (including factors like risk) commiserate with their opportunity cost. Corporations obviously try to maximize their profits but they don't operate in a vacuum. If they consistently earn higher-than-normal profits then that will attract competition, pushing prices (and profits) back down toward the margin.
> The source of wealth is creativity, which requires diversity (not optimization).

Creativity requires diversity? Optimization does not create wealth? Could you share where you learned this?

> Present globalization does not prevent competition between different parts, with competing levels of homogenity.

Well sure, you can literally try to compete with companies paying their employees a few dollars an hour, and operating in environments with little environmental or workplace safety standards if you'd like. You will obviously lose, but you are not technically prevented from competing.

> For a dsytopian total globalization that controls everything (like The Matrix)... I think it's literally impossible long term, because (1) people are smart (including every one of the masses); and (2) reality is open and infinitely complex and textured.

Of the new wealth created in the world, how is it distributed? From everything I've read, it mostly goes to the top <10% of people. Do the "smart" masses not desire wealth?

> not all facts about reality can be

There's no need to conceal all facts.

> because reality and intelligence cannot be controlled totally, and they inevitably cause change

Is that so? What's your sample size?

Lots of things have been declared impossible over time, until suddenly they weren't. As the saying goes, past performance is no guarantee of future results.
