After having researched this topic some, I decided to fast prior to my chemotherapy infusions. I cannot comment on its effectiveness as I haven't experienced chemotherapy without fasting, nor long fasts without chemotherapy. I haven't experienced nausea, but have encountered most of the other expected side effects. Maybe their severity is lessened, but I wouldn't know. In any case, it's been thus far endurable. I haven't decided if I'll continue or try not fasting. (Based on the information I found, I've been fasting for a total of ~2.5 days before each 2-week infusion cycle begins and then another ~2.5 days after the first infusion day.)

Here is one of the articles I'd found in my research:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4494906/

I only found preclinical studies. And anecdotal results from others who have tried it. I've been unable to find any good evidence that the efficacy of the chemotherapy is enhanced, only that side effects can be mitigated.

Two oncologists I've seen are not supportive of my fasting but haven't strenuously objected to my decision either.

FWIW, a third oncologist opposed my undergoing chemotherapy at all. I've found, in general, a lack of consensus as to proper treatment, at least in my situation. I've now consulted with seven specialists (four oncologists and three surgeons) and the recommendations haven't been consistent. And most of them decline to give definitive directions, leaving the major decisions to me. My point being that, at least in some situations, following the directions of doctors isn't necessarily an option.

Go into this with an open mind, but it shows a number of ways that nuclear is superior to renewables, coming from someone who was staunchly against nuclear:

The research clearly indicates that there is a benefit to fasting, yet you say the research is wrong because of the opinions of several oncologists.

I'm biased because several oncologists told me something that wasn't true.

I use tui (well I just hit `<C-x>a`) but there's more I want, like color (because we aren't living in 1970!). Maybe this vi more does the other part I want, which is code exploration and allow me to select lines for break points instead of typing as much. But I'm not sure what `M-C-j` is (I'm sure this is a dumb question). Both of these things are pretty standard in modern gui debuggers. The other thing I kinda want but isn't necessary is my display variables to be in a different pane and to have a nerdtree like file structure.

Frankly a lot of times I know where I need to investigate my in my code. But it is annoying to switch to vim, find the file and line number, go back to gdb then do `b my/file/structure/is/long:1825`. That gets hectic in large projects.

edit: My current setup I used vim+zsh+tmux. So I don't mind having gdb in a new pane that isn't a vim pane, but I just want colors and some of the basic features. I don't need everything that the IDEs do, just the basics.

I understand someone struggling who needs to buy the no name soup made in China but your 1,000 dollar cell phone only costs 250 to make. If the price went up to 400 your phone would still be a 1,000. That's what people will pay for it. If people cannot afford more the price will stay the same or go lower until Apple can't make a profit.

The jobs and spinoff businesses and increased security better environmental conditions worldwide vs Apple adding more money into a bank account. Cellphones are a bad example.

I wouldn't say it's censorship per se, since in that case the US isn't trying to suppress the speech of Germany, though it is similar. It also involves two countries whereas in this case we're talking between a company and a country. I think the power balance is different between the two. Particularly with a relatively large economy like Germany. Embargoing Germany would affect the US materially, whereas ceasing business with a company will not affect a country unless it is extremely large and strategically important.

A better theoretical might be if say the US were to force a company to choose between speech supporting a political dissident (maybe Snowden?) and doing business with the US. Not too hard to imagine really, and it would be censorship.
Sounds like discrimination by race. Try this with white instead of black and watch all hell breaking loose.

"Culture in China is about unity. If you look at Chinese history, and if you watch Chinese movies, this is a recurrent theme."

This is because the governments (ROC and PRC) deliberately construct and promote this ideology. The idea of Chinese nation 中华民族 did not exists until roughly 100 years ago.

I'm all for them as well. Forced me to reconsider some of the apps I have installed having not previously known what they were doing. Example, bartender needs screen recording. While Im sure it's 100% safe, I still don't trust giving an app that permission if its going to be running all the time. Just seems like an unnecessary attack vector.

Seeing some people say 'if you were fine with it before...' - well that's the thing, I wouldn't have been fine with it before if I had known.

> Virtually the entire security industry agrees that using phone numbers for account security is an antipattern because of sim-jacking, and yet swaths of the biggest tech companies in the industry do it anyway.

From the security side, this is incredibly frustrating. Very often there's someone in product management who insists that users love SMS-factor. That it's great because users don't have to use a special app or transfer it when they change phones. They will be backed up by an engineer who swears that SMS is great because using a TOTP app is an unacceptable corporate imposition on their personal device.

Meanwhile, someone in finance quietly sobs as they pay the Authy or Twilio bill, but nobody seems to care about the opex budget.
"US was already shown to be behind in 5g, China is already caught up."

So the mainstream media and politicians would have us believe.

"Heck they even helped AMD catch up to Intel, and see what sort of major success that was ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD%E2%80%93Chinese_joint_vent.... ) "

All I see here is an agreement for AMD to transfer technology to China, for x86 chips destined for chinese-only server market. Further, that agreement appears stalled, since AMD will NOT transfer their Zen2 technologies in this agreement. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-zen-china-x86-ip-licen...

"And yet China's manufacturing edge is not going anywhere. They can clone any US product anyone else is producing and sell it to their trading bloc."

Its been the norm for a long time now. I've always wondered why printer manufacturers could get away with universally exempting themselves from security audits. People just admitted they were bad and said: "don't even look at it wrong or it'll dump all its paper and toner on the floor"
They can do both.

Given the enormity of their population, one would expect they would have managed to come up with something. Honestly the world would be a far, far better place if the entire Chinese nation were to disappear off the surface of the earth.

That was the last actual update, but I think the last time they said anything about the game was this "Towards a Better Artifact" post on March 29: https://playartifact.com/news/1819924505115920089

It says they were going to focus on addressing the larger issues instead of continuing to update it, but it's just been complete silence for over 6 months since then. Like Zvi says at the end of the article, at this point there's no longer any significant time pressure, because everyone's already given up on it. If they do plan to try and re-launch it (and I don't think that's a certainty), they might as well take as long as they need to make sure it's done right the second time.

Yeah it's entirely possible but Tig makes it easy and I can do it in a fraction of the time.
In general I agree with you, but some things to note about full employment:

People who have given up and are not looking for work, but instead (for example) move back in with their parents and live a lower quality of life -- not counted in employment figures.

Also these numbers don't take into account underemployment. If you got a 30 hour a week job that pays a quarter of what your old job paid, you're still considered "employed", even though your financial situation is much worse. Ditto for if, to make ends meet, you now have to work three jobs, 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. Yes, those people are "employed", but might be much better off if there were mid- and low-skill manufacturing jobs that have often been the staple of the middle class and working class.
This is one of those cases where 99%+ of people reading this wished they had the same type of problem. The Shulmans have a close to 7 million dollar home. Why aren't they celebrating?

>the world would be a far, far better place if the entire Chinese nation were to disappear off the surface of the earth.

Really? I find this argument hard to believe.

Also this is what I worry about. The US China conflict has a real likelihood of becoming a full on race war against Chinese people in America, thanks to sentiments like the one above.
Not really. If a wealth tax is implemented, you'll be amazed at how soon everyone moves their wealth outside of the US. You'd be very hard pressed to tax wealth outside the US.

Distributing the tax across property, a progressive capital gains tax, a progressive corporate tax, and a small wealth tax is a much better option than a flat and high wealth tax.

The thing is about forward secrecy it's only really useful in situations where the communication is real time. Email is not.

If you're concerned about that storing it on a hardware key (like a Yubikey) is the way to go.
I enjoyed the point about tutorials. As far as tutorials go, it was maybe the best I've seen. At some point though, no matter if I know I can take 1 of 10 actions, I still have to make a decision and I had no idea which one to make or how to model my thinking to help me.

I think if you look at a comparison like Dota or League, whenever a new player is being given an explanation of the game, they are told to just "last-hit" the minions for gold. This is sort of mini-game within the game and allows players to feel like they are achieving something while also improving their skills. It creates simple gameplay in a complex game. Without simple actions or choices to improve at the game starts complex and remains that way throughout. This creates a high barrier to an intuitive understanding of the game, and I think intuitively people understand whether a game is fun or not.
It seems to me that for the sake of user experience they should really, really try to automatically coalesce multiple system messages and notifications that appear while others have not yet been dismissed. For example, automatically grow the first alert into a list with checkboxes or something if another alert shows up, so that the user can reply to all of them in a sane way.

Ah yes, taking a comment not about you and making it about you. This feels like a productive way to handle online conversations. I'm sure you're going to be a productive person to engage with...

It's never a quick script for a big company.

I'd hate to be the engineer who has to talk to all people and ask them about how they are processing user data, where are they storing logs, what happens to it.... it's the most boring work you can imagine for a programmer.

At the same time it's great that people can learn about these things.
I’d really like a CLI tool which solves this problem using a syntax I already know. I struggle with jq because I use it quite infrequently.

IMO the ideal solution is something using pure JavaScript syntax, possibly with a library resembling jQuery for tree traversal.

Arctic Sea Ice Minimum 2019
Thanks. Only had time to really briefly skim it.

A bit all over the place. For one, they linked it directly with weight. But then they mentioned regen and decided to model it at 0 brake wear on EVs. Then they talked about EVs being made of lightweight materials such as aluminum, and the difference would be even larger if they WEREN'T. (what?)

It also models particular resuspension in the air as a function of vehicle weight, arguing that heavier vehicles are typically less aerodynamic -- which is probably not the case with EVs.

Anyway, interesting.

With things like MTA-STS and DANE we're only gonna get metadata leaks really to the mail servers themselves.

> Don't use email for secure communications, period. Use a secure messaging app like Signal, instead.

This assumes you're okay in giving everyone your phone number. What if you do that and then one of your contacts starts calling you all the time?

So then it's suggested to have two SIM cards. Here in my country that either means post paid paying a monthly bill or pre paid, and having to recharge it or lose it.

It's not like we haven't seem SIM jacking related attacks either.

Phone numbers are a really terrible identifier.

I am also curious to know what will happen if the US/UK ever passes laws like Australia did. Signal LLC is American, and therefore would have to comply with the laws there if they ever passed something like Australia did.

Realistically if we're going to throw PGP out, we shouldn't be suggesting centralized systems as an alternative. Has anyone forgotten about William Barr? He's been trying all year to get backdoor in Whatsapp E2EE, the same E2EE used by Signal.
Someone's got to actually implement the design, and if they're doing that well and at speed, they don't usually have time to absorb the full context of why, and that's okay.

Well that's a fun idea. A little tedious over time maybe. Make it an app and automagic based on context/location/sensors and we're in business.
You may be right, or you may be wrong. Much of the world population continues to lead a terribly harsh life, who's to say Chinese dominance for sure won't finally change that? I for one don't buy the story that we've been doing our very best to raise the living standards of everyone within reason.
it sounds like we've been tracking this asteroid for a long time, and know it's trajectory well. this article is trying to make it a bigger deal than it really is, perhaps as click bait?
I disagree. SMS 2FA is much worse than nothing, unless a service has no password reset option via SMS alone. I believe many services do allow this, including Gmail. Barring password re-use (which admittedly is common), it's way, way easier and faster to spend 15 minutes discovering someone's phone number and calling their provider to request a SIM swap than trying to bruteforce their password via the service's login page/API.

If it's truly always 2FA, including two-factor password reset (need SMS verification code in addition to email verification code), than it's probably better than nothing. But otherwise, it's actually a major exposure you're opening up for yourself, especially if you otherwise have good password practices (no re-use, and ideally pseudo-randomly generated from a password manager).
Probably not. The Obama approach was a much softer touch.

Trump is certainly following up on his threats, but that approach carries some big risks as China can retaliate. It will come down to who blinks first.
The notification is thrown at the point of need. Some will appear when the application is first started, but some will only appear if the app is directed to a specific state by the user.
