Neurosurgeons have been using hypothermia (cooling down the body) and circulatory arrest (stopping the heart) to treat complicated brain aneurysms since the 1980's. Some of the outcomes have been very good.

When a person is in that state, they have no signs of life - no heartbeat and no blood to the brain, yet a significant portion of the time, they do well.

From the article, it looks like they have done this for up to 50 minutes.
"
The median duration of complete arrest in our series
was 11 minutes; the range was 7 to 53 minutes. This
is consistent with reports from other neurological surgeons who have employed extracorporeal circulation for
intracranial vascular surgery

That's pretty cool! I was thinking about this for a while, and just started converting my dotfiles repo to Ansible which would be a step forward.
I also have repeatedly used AirBnB in the past to try to make life easier with children. After getting burned repeatedly, I gave up. You can book a place like Embassy Suites for a similar amount of money and have a bit more space than a standard hotel room. It just isn't worth the hassle of researching AirBnB listings and dealing with the fallout from the bad ones to me anymore.
I think the thing a lot of content creators object to is the lack of equity in the system and the sieving process that happens to content.

All else being equal, content that can be paired with ads is preferred over other content to the extent that equal access to the base service is impaired. IE, Youtube is not a fair place where anyone can upload a video and become a sort of "star", it's just another extension of the existing Media corporations, where advertising dollars rule and the standard for what content is "ok" is based on the complaints of the most easily offended segment of the population.
At this point the claim that he committed suicide seems more like an unconfirmed conspiracy theory.

Not that I'm dissing Signal (it is my preferred platform, sadly not most used), but don't both WA and Signal use Open Whispers systems? So isn't there the potential that the same exploit might work on Signal?
A backup is a coherent copy of data on independent media. Seems that what you're doing is that.
The one thing with this is that you have to be consciously careful of who you view as an authority on different subjects, or whose opinion on something is relevant. For a simple, everyday example, it's easy to follow a friend's recommendation to eat at a particular restaurant, even if that friend has completely different tastes in food than you do (which, in all likelihood, will result in a poor dining experience for you). Likewise, I think even smart, educated people often make the mistake of treating the word of powerful individuals as fact even if those individuals have absolutely no experience with or authority on the matter.
Yes, it does, I'm upping my meds.
>It was a reasonable request.

Was it though?

Let's break down what happened.

A: Claim X.
B: Can you support X? Claim not X.
C: Can you support not X. You should provide support for not X before asking for support of X.

Is it really reasonable to call out B for not providing support and not call out A for the same? B was the first to ask for sources, but A made the claim without sources. It also seems like if B only made the claim not X and didn't ask for sources, they would have been less likely to be called out themself.

So is asking people who ask for sources to provide sources really reasonable when we don't make the same request of people who are making claims without any sources? It seems to give a first move advantage and thus wouldn't be reasonable.
By having a lot of money.
uuhm well yeah i could, thank you for the suggestion haha
No, I am not worried at all. This is fine.
Arguably, they shouldn't be using a smartphone or any computer at all, if they really want to be secure.
you could always mount the entire backup, using

restic mount backup/

and pick the file(s) you are looking for from the `backup/snapshots/latest/` directory.
> Wouldn't it be possible to, with a really strange number format for integers, define SIZE_MAX as INFINITY?

That's a very interesting question that got me thinking for quite a while and the only conclusion I reached is that you deserve an upvote.
This stuff, for example:

https://docs.rs/http/0.1.19/http/request/index.html

"standard library" is probably not the correct term for this in Rust-world because it is under the "http" namespace rather than the "std" namespace. I just meant, "the stuff you use via typing `use http`".
A buddy of mine is Special Forces (U.S.). He said JSOC recently banned use of WhatsApp and encouraged everyone to switch to the open-source Signal (another encrypted messaging app). Allegedly WhatsApp uses Signal's encryption (OpenWhisper) but I stopped trusting it the second Facebook bought them out.

> worst outcome is high bandwidth use + the image doesn't load for everyone. Hardly the end of the world.

No, the worst outcome is that your home internet connection is being effectively DDoSed.

You could probably apply some QoS on your router to minimize the effect, of course.
> Secondly, I've set up an "append only" system, where my various hosts can append to their own backups, but not overwrite or delete them.

To my knowledge that's not possible with restic. You can either have append only (using for example restic/rest-server) or pruning. But not both.

My solution so far is to use a backend like rsync.net. The backup uses the normal backup + prune routine. And rsync on their server side creates daily undeleteable snapshots of all files and deduplicates the encrypted files in the process without the need to look into them. For me that's seems like a reasonable compromise for now.
The Facebook app came pre-installed on my Android phone, and I couldn't get rid of it without rooting my phone (which would make it less secure).
WhatsApp allegedly uses an implementation of the OpenWhisper encryption system that Signal created (and still uses). However as there is no source code available unlike Signal, there's no way to verify if WhatsApp "really" is using it (or using it correctly).
there's a hack to getting around the bloomberg paywall. If you scroll down quickly before the page can bring up the pay us to read dialog you can get a greyed out version of the text. Then use ublock to zap the top modal out of the way. If you need to read the rest of the text reload again and scroll down faster.

Cruise missiles aren't trying to survive the landing.
My point is that everyone else, even people who aren't related to me, are now paying the price too.

Take the park example. A group is protesting against my business decisions, so they follow me to the park where I run at 6 every evening. All the other park patrons now have to endure with your protest even though my business has nothing to do with my run at this park. Or the patrons at a restaurant. Or at a sports/concert venue.

You might be protesting me to change my business decision, but other patrons are the collateral damage caught in the cross fire. You might be suffering for what I have done. Why do these other people who are away from my place of work have to as well?
With Go 1 there was of course go get. With this it became a no-brainer to install code from arbitrary Github repositories. At least the social barrier is really high to properly put in a package at npm or PyPi. But they kind of democratized that.

Also when Go was quite new, many projects had no dependencies or at best a handful. I think that was a learning from other languages with large package repositories, namely Rubygems. People would create gems put them on Github and Rubygems with useful functionalities but abandon them after a few months. So many larger code bases were sometimes rendered unusable because the package became incompatible with new language releases or did even get removed from Rubygems.

Nowadays, since Go has risen so much in popularity and adopted habits from other Programming ecosystems, there are now Go modules which are on par or even better than solutions from other languages.
PostgreSQL database with 25k Java/Spring codebase locked into Stripe APIs.

I guess it will fit some people's use cases, but my impression of Java is that refactoring anything, like changing from Stripe to some other payment provider, will take months.
Two absolutely adorable and friendly kittens in my life, both got snatched, probably by a neighborhood dog. Both times we were looking and calling out all day. Even mom and dad were in tears. I don't think it's a good adaption for cats to be friendly, at least for outdoor cats. The distant ones always got to live longer (at least the females, tomcats tend to roam and disappear after a few years).
Call it what you want, but the alternative is living in a society with extreme wealth/income disparities.
I'll second this. There is nothing like teaching to get your ability to publicly speak built up.

I was garbage at public speaking until I had to teach an ed. law course in graduate school. Now I'm exceptional at it.

It also helps if it's a subject you're super knowledgeable about. That helps.

It's a much better app, user experience-wise. I prefer Signal for obvious reasons, but WhatsApp is easier to use (and has a much better web interface).

Oversimplification: WhatsApp is based on Signal, but repurposed for Facebook.

I also don't have any facebook apps on my phone - but from what I understand there are countries where whatsapp is how a lot of business is done. If you can't afford the time and opportunity cost of avoiding those businesses you have to install it.
Well yeah, because being pro-LGBT is one of their explicitly stated principles. If they act according to their stated principles, why would there be an outrage.

But if they go against their stated principles, like "oh yeah, let's erase all traces of our pro-LGBT stances we care sooo much about in games for Chinese and Russian markets, because uuuuuuuuh... reasons", you bet people would get upset.
The server already has to do a full 3D simulation for each client. The server just doesn't send updates for players that are not visible to another player. So yes the server has to do a bit more work, on the other hand it reduces server bandwidth.
Why would it be harassment? I imagine they're going to have to deal with protests. They're going to have to deal with how to manage the many people who show up to the event who are visibly pro-Hong Kong without damaging their Chinese interests. They will have to deal with difficult questions, interrupted talks and a hostile audience.

None of this is harassment. You can't just use the word "harassment" any time someone challenges you or says something you don't like.
A useful thought experiment is to consider a machine that first duplicates a person and then drops the original into a meat grinder.

The duplicate that steps out would be identical to the original and have no memory of having been ground.

Would you step into such a machine, safe in the knowledge that from the point of view of the universe and all other living beings, you would emerge unharmed?

It makes me think of Socrates's old thing about how static writing is, and how the back and forth of dialogue is so important

>Writing is unfortunately like painting; for the creations of the painter have the attitude of life, and yet if you ask them a question they preserve a solemn silence. And the same may be said of speeches. You would imagine that they had intelligence, but if you want to know anything and put a question to one of them, the speaker always gives one unvarying answer. And when they have been once written down they are tumbled about anywhere among those who may or may not understand them, and know not to whom they should reply, to whom not: and, if they are maltreated or abused, they have no parent to protect them; and they cannot protect or defend themselves.

I think a lot of what we're learning in this new era is that the pub/sub model of talking to each other has some real weaknesses compared to immediate dialogue (which has its own weaknesses). Unfortunately, twitter, facebook, blogs, reddit, the news, and really all social media I'm aware of is more pub/sub than dialogue. Without dialogue, you have to interpret and assume. With what I'll define as "real" dialogue here, you'd just ask for clarification until you're on the same page.

Most times you can just attend a local chapter speech for free, and if you like it, you can sign up for a membership. There have been plenty of great tips on giving great speeches, and more importantly, this is all hands on!

And you can speak freely without worrying about sounding imperfect, and nobody judges you, because everyone out there want to learn and improve themselves.
I often find this problem hard to detect. Are things less interesting? Are films worse? Or am I just less interested.

ON the flip side when I was a child, we had no internet and I remember long boring weeks of Summer (In a rural area, meant I spent a lot of time alone). But as an adult I basically am never bored. Is this because of having more stuff to do? Or because of being older?

There's a difference between arrogance and actually having a lot of power. Zuckerberg is dodging accountability and pretending FB isn't responsible for the ads it's running. And it doesn't have to be a majority - the last election was decided by a margin of 0.09% of all votes cast, and ad platforms let advertisers target people pretty finely.
It comes mainly from mapping the subdomains over time and analysis of the ASNs. This is key. You will often see a company with perhaps 200 or so subdomains, that only does business in the United States.

But then you will see one subdomain that maps to ASN 4803 or whatever, which then leads to “China Telecom xinjiang”. In fact I encourage you to type:

org:”China Telecom xinjiang” “NSFOCUS” into Shodan.

Also look at the capital expenditures psychz.net claims on their about page. There is no IaaS company in the world that can afford to lay down as much hardware as they are claiming.

Another thing btw is these sites never seem to have job openings. That is common pattern that applies to perhaps 60% of the firms listed.

Netflix: "Living with yourself"
The x86 decoder is both simpler and more complex than it appears. I've played with the idea of creating the "worst" x86 decoder, which I classify as worst because its goal would not be to reproduce an assembly string but instead represent an oversimplified view of the instruction that makes sense semantically.

So the simple part of the decoding is that x86 instructions generally consist of an "opcode", a register number, and a third parameter which is either a register number, immediate, or memory operand. Occasionally, there is also another immediate operand tacked onto the instruction, based on the opcode. The REX prefix tacks on extra bits for the register number, the VEX prefix adds a third register number and provides a way to add some opcode bytes without spending extra bytes to do so, and the EVEX prefix has a few more extra operand types.

It's worth noting that if you're mapping semantics, some opcodes have the Mod/RM byte, but use fields in this parameter to add more bits to the opcode instead of as register numbers. If your semantics is prepared to handle per-register special cases (which it probably should, since x86 has per-register semantics in some cases), this isn't actually an issue.

The really difficult part, though, is managing prefixes. The new REX, VEX, and EVEX prefixes all have much tighter requirements on how they interact with each other: you can use exactly one of these prefixes, and the functionality in the older ones is completely subsumed by the newer ones. But the legacy prefixes don't have any such restrictions, and thus you can do annoying things like specify several of them at once or tack them on to instructions that don't need them.

The sanest way to handle prefixes, especially F0, F2, F3, 66, and 67, is to treat them instead as part of the opcode rather than an optional prefix, albeit ones that can float around a bit (although 66 is required to be the last prefix in a few cases). This also handles issues where the operand size override prefix doesn't actually override operand size. libbfd's hilariously bad results seem almost entirely due to doing the exact opposite of this rule, and not realizing that 66 and F0 actually create illegal instructions if not used correctly.

(Another thing you can do with weird prefixes is to just flag the result as "probably attempting to break a disassembler").

Unless you're interested in playing around with writing x86 decoders yourself, just use XED. It's maintained by Intel, and is up-to-date with all known instructions, and it should be capable of handling even most of the weirdest edge cases in handling unusual prefix combinations correctly. That said, it doesn't warn you of the few cases where the AMD x86 decoder and the Intel x86 decoder give inconsistent results.
If Chinese netizens want to boycott it let them. They can find an alternative or create their own.
On some level you can think of it as a consequence of over sensitive pattern matching, which is something that I believe we can attribute to evolution.

It's also quite convenient for increasing local societal cohesion (though generally to the detriment of inclusiveness) which could conceivably provide a group advantage.
That's true, but, we also accept a certain risk as GA pilots being non-commercial. The risk we accept is translated into a larger GA industry that makes flying as a hobby "affordable" to mere mortals (read: wealthy non-millonaires and not career pilots.)

We can require more training for GA, but the training burden is already pretty high, and the GA industry is still shrinking last time I checked. Boosting safety requirements in the form of additional training for GA may save a few lives, but also those gains could be simply because there will be fewer hobby pilots.

The fact is that GA planes falling out of the sky just doesn't kill very many people. It obviously feels terrible to the families involved in a crash, but relative to automotive deaths, lung cancer, murders, etc, it is a tiny tiny blip in the numbers. Obviously being a GA pilot boosts your chance of dying in a small airplane crash, in the same way that learning to ride a motorcycle boosts your chance of dying in a motorcycle crash. The alternative of killing off recreational flying, is worse.

All good, I get it. Like I said before, it makes sense and sometimes drugs is the solution. For ex. (since I've been watching a lot of baseball recently), Roman could be the go-to solution to ED. I just find it amusing that there is a drug to help with anything/everything.
