The way (these) continuous glucose monitors work is that there's an adhesive patch with the needle, sensor, some storage/processing and comms module. Attaching the patch is done via a spring-loaded module and the data is read by waving the reading over the patch. The patch itself lasts a couple of weeks before it deactivates itself and you need to apply a new one.

The patch/sensor doesn't hurt going in but depending on where it's attached and how you move it can sometimes pinch a bit when you move around. And you'll definitely feel it when you jostle it.
Similar for me. From the 732745 login attempts last month, 52% were from China, followed by US with 13%. Here is a graph: https://i.imgur.com/YPAuTXO.png

The sheer volume of bot traffic surprised me at first, especially since my website has zero human visitors as far as I can tell, but the numbers are consistent month after month.

Nevertheless, my $1/month VPS can handle the traffic without a problem, so I see no need to ban or rate limit any IPs, especially since I hate captchas with a passion.
I remember reading an article about Ben Underwood[1]. It was headlined with something like a blind boy can play video games using an echolocation. It turned out he just remembers the right succession of moves after a lot of try and fails. On the one hand, I should blame the author, not the boy for the title. But when I tried to research the topic, all I was able to find is only a couple articles using similar gimmicks, so I became quite skeptical.

About 'information access', I think the new barrier to socioeconomic mobility is going to be misinformation and regulation.

Those who have power will do anything to keep that power; with abundant and free information, fake news and misinformation will be used to control the masses.

Probably the world will be in such a state that:

1. Most of the rules in society will not make sense but you will accept them anyway simply because everyone else accepts them and there will be a lot of myths and misinformation to justify the rules.

2. Not believing the myths and not following the rules will get you imprisoned or killed (as has typically been the case throughout human history).

I think 'government regulation' is increasingly taking the place of religious doctrine when it comes to protecting the interests of the rich and powerful. There are a lot of arbitrary laws which were introduced under some vague pretext whose real purpose is to create a moat to protect corporate interests.

This sounds like it would suck big time for musicians and the like who have to transport gear to bars and whatnot, which I've done plenty of times since high school (I live just outside the city in NJ). Having to carry all my gear like 10 NYC blocks (or more) after having to pay tens of dollars to park in a garage (what would availability even be?) would definitely make me think twice about trying to get gigs there. My girlfriend's an artist and does shows there occasionally, and she'd be in the same boat.

Obviously I'm not saying "there'll be no art or live music in NYC if this happens!" I have a car and unless I have a damn good reason I don't drive into the city, especially during the crazy traffic hours (the PATH trains run all night). I think we need to consider what other damn good reasons people have for driving into Manhattan before we consider something as radical as this.

I have normal eyesight but I have practiced echolocation for fun. I can gain some situational awareness and navigate familiar spaces with eyes closed.

What you should hear is similar to tweaking a reverb effect in an audio software. With repeated practice you will learn the difference in the tone of a hard object and a soft object or an object near or far. In audio engineering terms, you're trying to measure the impulse response of the room around you.

The important bit is generating sharp impulse clicks to listen to. You can make clicks with your mouth but your tongue will get tired soon. You can also try a handheld clicker like used in behavioral conditioning for dogs. I try to make a directional sound pointed left or right.

I saw a documentary about echolocation training, and they started with an assistant holding a glass piece around the student and the student trying to guess where it is.

Other things you could try is navigating a familiar space with white noise from a sound system to understand how you subconsciously listen to echoes of your feet, etc.

This is absolutely something you can learn by simple practice, there is no magic to it.

> Traffic to the sites (all legitimate)

How do you know it was all legitimate?

I don't understand how cloudflare can stay in business if they cause a 75% drop in legitimate traffic to any website.
Sorry, but I am afraid you are ill informed on the ammount of complexity that this document cover.

Please note that never ever in the history of mankind a project so ambitious has even be thought. Already the amount of complexity in LHC is considered far greater than the complexity of the Apollo mission. FCC is a different order of magnitude than LHC already.

Then if you just skim the report you will notice how wide are the topic covered.

Leaving aside the physics, the document talk about the magnets, how to detect quenches, how to discharge magnets that hold 37MJ of energy, how to monitor the beam of particle, how to dump the beam, how to inject the beam into FCC, how to accelerate the beam,how to keep 100km of magnets at 1.9k when particles at 100TeV are running inside and doing it not for a bit, but continuosly for months and months.

And then other points more pragmatic, where to get the electric energy to run the whole machine?

And this just skimming the document and looking at pictures.

Honestly, how many would you expect to write such a document?

> my $1/month VPS can handle the traffic without a problem, so I see no need to ban or rate limit any IPs, especially since I hate captchas with a passion.

I run a company that routinely scrapes government run, public domain websites. Sadly, many of these sites come with captchas. We can easily bypass these captchas by paying roughly $1.50/1000 captchas, but when scraping millions of pages a month, these costs become significant.

As far as I can tell, adding a captcha to a site does nothing to prevent bots, it just alters the economics of any business that relies on the data. I understand that bots can potentially slow down servers and cause disruptions for human users, but for the handful of government agencies that actually talk to us, we happily restrict scraping to certain hours of the day or limit overall traffic to a reasonable level. I would go further and happily give the money we're spending on solving captchas back to the government so they can upgrade their servers and make the system better for everyone.

For those that are conducting nefarious activities, captchas likely do nothing. For individuals, they are annoying. For legitimate scraping companies, they are a needless expense. Captchas are pretty obsolete.

I don't get what the relevance of the ISP ad page is. Wouldn't it be a similar problem if the any DNS server just cached the NXDOMAIN for too long? Seems to me that the problem is either the ISP's DNS server is using a higher TTL than specified, or the user specifying a higher TTL than necessary?

Exactly. I'm wary because it would be very easy for this to be a clever Hans situation. There are many signals blind and low vision people use to help themselves that it's very hard not to conflate them.

A Problem with accelerator physics particularly is that there is a large scientific industry around the actual experiments that depend on these experiments continuing. The engineers just get told what to build and they get going, without having a deep understanding why this particular experiment is really necessary.
I worked in accelerator physics for 5 years and on all the conferences, meetings etc. I had yet to meet anyone who understands, why we are doing this (with an understanding that goes deeper than Wikipedia).
This is the primary concern and barrier to most realizations of quantum computers including Google’s most recent efforts, though there are exceptions like linear optical quantum computing which have different problems. So for people working in QC this is in fact the perspective, though they are mostly optimistic that we can continue to engineer/discover better solutions to this problem.
(i) it's a very interesting point that you put forth. Yes, robots will compensate for the _working population_ ; However, I think the OP wants to direct the attention towards the economic impact of a changing demographic.

A shift in demographic has a massive impact on that.

> Single Malt Whisky starts out at a high price point. I do not think that anyone that normally would spend $ on this is going to care.

Many high quality single malts are $40-50. Expensive for a daily drink, but within reach as an indulgence. The new tariffs will raise the price of the bottle by $10. That's not terribly significant on it's own, but knowing that buying a bottle contributes $10 on a needless trade war to feed a maniac's ego is pretty irritating.
It's very frustrating to discuss this topic with you because you keep editing your comments after I've replied to them. This makes it appear as though I've ignored points you made, when in fact they simply weren't in the version of the comment that I read.

Of all the links you added, most are criminals shooting each other or cops shooting criminals. Neither of those are likely to affect me, as I don't rob places or brandish firearms. Also, you had to go back 5 years to find some of those results. In that same time BART had thousands of thefts, around a thousand robberies, hundreds of violent assaults, and around a half dozen homicides. Considering how much lower the ridership of BART is compared to all commuters in the bay area, those aren't great odds.

Again, this is obvious to anyone who rides BART and isn't a fit male. If you're old, or a woman, or just a small/weak guy, people on BART will fuck with you. The problem has gotten much worse in the past few years.[1] It's caused ridership and approval ratings to decrease.[2]

The question is not whether people can infer some information from their environment using sound. That is very clearly the case. As most people will know from personal experience by detecting the presence or absence of nearby walls due to the presence or absence of ambient echo.

The question is whether the claims of "expert" echo locators can be verified and whether it would be a worthwhile pursuit to standardize and teach this technique to blind and low vision persons.

I could attempt to learn this technique but I have enough vision that I'm generally not in need of it especially with the application of current compensations. I could attempt to learn it for personal verification reasons but I would then be just another anecdote and that's not really what I consider suitable evidence for validation.

In a sense, this function isn't that interesting; It's just a way of encoding the prime numbers into a real number.

However, one interesting aspect is how efficiently this particular function works for the prime numbers. The function doesn't work for Fibonacci numbers, for example.

Still, it takes 113 bits to encode the primes up to 100, which can trivially be encoded with 100 bits so...

Try to see if you can find a more interesting domain to apply your skills in. For me, moving to a senior role offered a more interesting scope and facing more design work and advising mixed with some coding, mentoring, etc.
