What's the dramatic difference? It's like USA, worst quality of life, inequality and a bunch of idiots whom for decades stole from workers and avoided taxes, and try to sell that "model" to the rest of the world.
That’s the tail end of the problem. Drug companies claimed that newer versions of opioids weren’t addictive, and produced bogus research that backed those claims.

So the protocols changed, and doctors in many areas of practice started treating opioids like ibuprofen. Hydrocodone or oxy isn’t the best choice for chronic pain, and as chronic users take it, their tolerance increases and their ability to get an effective, legal prescription slowly goes away.

The black market offered cheaper, but more dangerous alternatives.
No. There is something wrong with that headline, but the apostrophe is not it.
What will happen is that all EV manufacturers will move to a common charging standard and that will make more chargers available for EV drivers. CCS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_Charging_System) is the obvious candidate for that.
Their ios support isn’t great.

I’m using ExpressVPN and while they cost more (as much as 3 times as these budget services) they so far seem to offer a fast product.

Great. Now let's work on standardizing a footprint description language for components so we don't have to create a new footprint library for every new tool on the planet. (And maybe even so manufacturers will just release their footprints using that format, so we don't have to struggle there either).
I disagree - to me, it _is_ a huge deal. It's an overstep of a boundary that definitely should not have been crossed.

Yoast has always been borderline spammy with their upgrade nags, but at least historically they followed the WordPress guidelines and kept them inside of the Yoast pages. But flat-out injecting ads into every admin page with not much context is a step too far in my opinion.

As far as I'm concerned, automattic should revoke their wordpress.org plugin hosting until this has been addressed (as this clearly violates their hosting guidelines) and a public apology is issued.

No. "It's my weekend with my kids" is well understood to mean divorce. It was clearly a lie. Good on OP to recognize it.
How Secure Is Your Face?
Pricing people out of their own homes they used to be able to afford is "fair"?
They were illegimate and didn't enjoy the same rights as full blooded spaniards for sure. But the illegimate male children of spaniards had better mating privileges as nearly two thirds of mexican males have european Y chromosomes. That can't happen without the illegimate male offprings of spaniards having privileges that allowed them to mate at a much higher rate than native males since the full blooded spaniard population was never great enough to produce such drastic genetic disparity. What the privileges and rights were, who knows?
I understand it Canada but if this were the US, it wouldn’t matter how far out into nowhere in nature you try to build. The Sierra Club and similar orgs, will be in the nearest federal/state court at each step of the way.
This was taken at the end of Thanksgiving weekend and isn't representative of typical supercharger stations.
It may be trying to estimate something like the "real value" (difficult to measure as it's very subjective) versus cost.

In that case, the question at hand is: "Are consumers getting more real benefits per dollar spent?"

I'd argue that there's another dimension to the conversation which is granularity. Most of the streaming services don't allow purchasing a single show (except for YouTube, Amazon Prime and a few others), and for the services that do let you buy a single show it's way too expensive for a series.

If you try to buy an entire season of a single show it'll often cost you the price of 6 months of the streaming service.

But can you renew with Bitcoin etc?
I drive long distances in my model 3. 1000 mile road trips throughout the Midwest. I have already seen some changes. There are several traditional gas stations that are also installing chargers and superchargers. These tend to have a restaurant attached. Works incredibly well for my needs. These new charging speeds can pretty much fill my battery to 80% in 20-25 minutes. Perfect for a bite to eat and a bathroom break.

I suspect more and more gas stations will switch over when it more vehicles get on the road that need electrons over gas.

Besides Tesla’s network there are quite a few places that have chargers. More and more businesses and hotels are installing them.

That’s mainly because you’re comparing to the insane prices Americans pay for cable. For me, the basic HD package (over fiber) is €15,95 and if I want the full ‘entertainment’ HD package that’s €21,95.
I considered Virgil to be a good friend of mine for a very long time, and the last few years have been deeply saddening for me due to his increasingly bizarre beliefs and his irresponsible and inexcusable behavior, especially towards his female friends and colleagues. This is not the Virgil I knew when I first met him.

I cannot speak for other people, but for me personally, the pseudoscientific reactionary ideas you mention were very appealing to me at one point in time because I had, and still have, a very difficult time attracting women. There was a period of time in my life when I spent a lot of time reading pickup artist/RedPill/men's rights content on the Internet until I managed to escape it, mostly via the help of supportive friends. I think that there are a lot of misguided nerdy young men who fall into this frightening rabbit hole, where one bad ideology leads to another.

No. My dad’s understanding was that Doug was selling larger quantities to low level dealers who people would buy from. And it was known that if you came over to Dougs house you could meet these low level dealers.
>why do I have to pay for 250 channels when I only watch 5 of them? Let me pay only for what I watch.

But that is still the case. If I could only pay for the shows I watch, I would not complain. But if I watch one Netflix show, I can't just subscribe to that show, I must pay for a ton of stuff I'm not remotely interested in.

You still have Netflix, Disney+ and all the cable channels you need to subscribe to if you want their shows, how is this better for the consumer ?

An actual 'A la carte' situation is that of the consumer being able to actually handpick the shows they want and only pay for those. This will never happen due to the industry being absolutely hostile to the idea, second best from a consumer standpoint is a single huge distributor like Netflix where you would pay larger fee but have access to practically everything you want, that is now pretty much a pipe dream since every major player wants to run their own streaming platform. This is not the way to beat piracy.
And I think you're a liberal biased man...
Cool.

Boiled wool blankets are also great. Very warm. And very durable. Much like felt.
How Do Quantum Computers Work?
Right, so your argument would work if you allow the layer widths to tend to infinity sequentially (so this corresponds to finite networks where each previous layer is much bigger than the next layer). This is the argument presented by Lee et al. But note it's nontrivial to argue that this limit holds when the widths of all layers tend to infinity at the same time (arguably the more natural limit), which is one of the main contributions of Matthews et al. In my paper here, I also consider this limit where the widths tend to infinity at the same time.

In any case, I'll update the paper to reflect our discussion here. Thanks, Radford!

I have the RAVPower 61W GaN USB-C charger for my backpack. No UL, but no noise and no issues. It's currently five stars on Amazon, for whatever that's worth. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TC53ZYD/
Disappointed. I've been with PIA for a few years now and I always recommended them and loved their support. I just cancelled my annual subscription which was due to expire in 100 days. Vote with your wallet. Any recommendations for a new VPN provider?
Not current generation ones. USB4 is supposed to combine the two.
Usually nothing. Sometimes, laundry, cleaning etc.
> [citation needed]

You don't need a citation for a personal doubt, wtf. Maybe someone will do it. Maybe they won't. But a person is reasonably able to doubt something when there's no evidence one way or another. Nobody's done this before.

Adding emphasis to the "no evidence" part, because apparently that's not evident enough.
You are the only one talking about it. MSM means mainstream (aka mockingbird) news. It's not like IW invented the acronym.
Yeah exactly. I'm not familiar enough with STORM to say if it already provides something close enough to a random projection simply by the acquisition process.
As a young American, this is probably true for older generations, but I can't see this remaining true for very long. I make sure to get internet only packages from Comcast, since I have absolutely no desire or need for cable.
Efficiency improvements lead to an overall increase in the amount of goods produced given a fixed amount of input. The benefit devolves onto both the producer and the consumer (this is called "surplus"), each according to their elasticity of demand. That's the econ 101 model, in any case.

In the televised video market, this "efficiency" might manifest as higher quality shows, or a wider selection of shows available to watch. You only need to look back to the early days of TV to see that what we have today is much better (more entertaining, more interesting, has higher technical quality). We also have a vastly expanded selection of shows to watch. This is the result of competition. The sum is positive, because the overall utility produced has increased.

> What's the point of efficiency improvements to a business without a consumer?

I am not sure what in my comment this is referring to. To a first approximation, there are no firms without customers. At least, none that are both legal and last very long.
It really is about companies like Purdue that pushed these drugs and worked to change the protocols around pain management. Even generic manufacturers of cheap generics were making a fortune due to volume.

My mom ran different units in busy NYC hospitals in the 80s. At that time, the protocols for most pain events were Tylenol and/or Motrin. Getting more than 600mg of Motrin was unusual.

When I had back problems in the early 2000s, the protocols were totally different. If you had back pain, once the newer NSAIDS like Vioxx and Celebrex were mostly removed from the market, the substitute was an opioid. In my case, physical therapy, motrin/aleve, etc helped until surgery was required. I know a few people who went to opioid route, and a couple of them have struggled with dependency.
The merger agreement includes a written guarantee to never log. I don't think there is any other VPN that has that, and I _know_ that many other VPNs will not sign that with us.
My anecdotal data says the opposite. I've been prescribed opioid pain killers (Codeine/acetaminophen and Tramadol) a few different times (post regular and oral surgery, after a particularly nasty wrist and ankle sprain, and most recently after getting some second degree burns from a cooking accident). The first couple of times I was prescribed them I remember thinking how bad the pain must have been to have still felt so intense after taking opioids- but eventually I realized that the prescribed opioid pain killers were just not doing much to help at all, and Ibuprofen was far more effective for me. These days I don't even bother filling the prescription and just go straight to advil to manage pain.

I'm certainly not well educated in medicine, so it's hard to say whether my experiences can be generalized to the broader population, but if my experiences are at all common it does make me wonder why the are so broadly prescribed, and why I was never advised to even try NSAIDs before escalating to opioids with their associated side effects and addiction risk.
Isn't that the crack smoking mayor of Toronto? Selling weed is almost quaint by comparison.
This is missing the point.

The point is that your house or car would be outrageously expensive too if the engineering cost of the design was amortized over very few units.
It could be that this is the long-term efficient price after demand from early adopters goes down. Or maybe they underestimated demand altogether and it's too late to raise prices now.
This is fantastic work and you've presented it very well. Thanks for the writeup.
Generalized coordinates and their "conjugate" momenta. These are the basic dynamical variables used to describe mechanical systems in Hamiltonian mechanics:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamiltonian_mechanics

For certain systems (e.g., particles in euclidean space interacting via conservative forces dependent only on position), the momenta coincide with velocity, but mathematically they are different objects: velocities are vectors, and momenta are covectors. They transform differently under coordinate transformations.

I wish I knew a concise self-contained exposition off the top of my head, but I don't. You can probably find something on-line. I think there's likely a discussion in Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics (Sussman & Wisdom):

https://mitpress.mit.edu/sites/default/files/titles/content/...

Try looking up "cotangent bundles" (mathematical name for the type of spaces appropriate for Hamiltonian mechanics, formulated in terms of generlized coordinates and momenta) and "tangent bundles" (more appropriate for Lagrangian mechanics, formulated in terms of generalized coordinates and velocities).
Sounds great, until you realize that there are >200M opioid prescriptions filled every year. The numbers are large in absolute terms.

Something like 6% of american adults abuse alcohol -- and alcohol is less "addictive" than an opioid for most of the population.
I think there was a link last friday of Ryzen being top seller for like 6 of the top spots on Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Computers-Accessories-Co...

It looks like today the top 10 are all Ryzen. This is crazy.
So, isn't this a strong argument against Go? At the point that you need to start devising clever workarounds to stop bad behavior from your runtime, it's time to find a new language.

Not a bad piece of writing for your first year work. You should include something about quantum annealers (D-Wave) for completeness purposes.
Nitpick from the article: it suggests kdb underpins most algorithmic trading systems. This is simply not true. I've worked in a number of banks and hedge funds, and most have their own home-brew storage and analysis engines (I've helped build a few myself).
Thank you for your recommendations. We are working on and hope to go beyond the world of trust. We are now, the most transparent VPN as there are requirements to be transparent when you are a public company.

We don't want people to be stuck with having to blindly believe in and trust us like other VPNs.

Don't trust. Verify.
None of these 3rd party VPNs are really meant to be hardened against state sponsored attacks, at least I wouldn't think myself secure from that level of sophistication. They're basically most valuable to mess around against adversaries that have little to no access to security resources, like your average ISP or forum moderator.
Codeine+Paracetomol was available OTC here in Australia until addicts ruined the fun. It was great to have for non-everyday pain like that once a year killer headache.
As an uninformed person, I'm curious why parent might have been down voted. Is what they said wrong or misleading? The parent's post seems equal to other ones here. It's not obvious to me, and I think it would be useful if detractors would explain their disagreement when they downvote.
If you're using a third-party VPN service as the single way in which you are protecting your privacy, you're already in such a sorry state that it doesn't matter whether or not your VPN provider is compromised.

If your threat model is such that you're concerned about TLAs or state-level actors targeting you, you're already in a world of hurt.

If you are under the mistaken belief that the VPN provider is anywhere near as conscious of your security as you are, you're already living a bit of a fantasy.

So the answer to your question is that it's not really possible to think that they're ultra-secure, but that ultra-security was never what they were selling.
The idea of suing a shell corp of an intelligence agency for breach of contract seems laughable.

Maybe they aren't that, but why should anybody without personal knowledge of the situation trust that they aren't? This is the sort of scenario where 'better safe than sorry' overrules giving the benifit of the doubt.
There's a lot of anecdotes in this thread about people being prescribed "too much".

What would your anecdote be if your child was in severe pain after the surgery, occurring in the middle of the night, and you needed to get the meds after hours?

What if you had to drive back in to get a paper script?

What if you had to wait 2 days?

I rarely (almost never as a radiologist now) write outpatient narcotic prescriptions anymore, but when I did, I often prescribed in a pattern so I could avoid people becoming uncomfortably symptomatic in an inconvenient time for them (and us). I'm not sure what the best situation here is, other than giving you the RX and telling you to not fill it?
Whether this is true or not isn’t really the point. The fact that it it’s even possible is a huge red flag for my use case / threat model.

It’s relatively easy, not to mention cheap (less than $10 per month) to spin up a streisand (0) instance and protect myself that way. As long as I keep my traffic encrypted, I can keep most / all of the vultures away that I’m concerned about.

Happy to walk anyone through it. Takes less than 30 minutes and it just works.

I just did this and added the reason why. They very quickly emailed me a canned response to this issue. Apparently it's a big deal and lots of people are leaving.
Sold out on Newegg and Amazon too, as far as I can tell. Looks like AMD did not quite expect this kind of uptake on what is now their "top of the line but reasonably priced" CPU.
If they're supply-limited, they can increase price all the way until demand falls to meet supply. Selling widgets priced below the equilibrium point achieves nothing for capturing market share, it just loses potential revenue.

I.e. if they can only manufacture 1000 widgets, but 10,000 people want to buy one at the given price point, the gained market share is still only 1000 individuals. The number of people who want one but can't get one due to lack of supply is not market share.

Temporary under-pricing might be a valid strategy if AMD is planning to ramp up manufacturing capacity, but comments further down in this thread suggest they lack the fabs to do that.
There is no difference between singing up and renewing. It's just a balance on some anonymous account number.
I said they sold it as that, not that it was that and that was the source of the issue.

“Delayed absorption as provided by OxyContin tablets, is believed to reduce the abuse liability of a drug.”

That's what the FDA allowed them to publish. Possibly the most dangerous single sentence in the history of medicines.
All variables in Forth are local variables. They're just, traditionally, statically allocated, like a static variable in a C program. Their scope extends from their declaration to wherever the wordlist they're defined in stops being visible, or until another variable of the same name is defined, which means their scope usually does not extend to the end of your program.

I think the spec's choice to term stack-allocated variables "locals" (for what we call "automatic" variables in C) is a bad choice, because it confuses the issue further. When we refer to "local" or "global" variables, normally we are referring to scope, which is a question of over what part of a program a name maps to a particular location (or, in functional languages, sometimes a value). But what we're talking about here is extent or lifetime: during what period of time is a particular location allocated. These are clearly not unrelated concerns, since a name cannot usefully map to an unallocated location, and the same static occurrence of a name can map to multiple different locations when that name is bound on different binding contours, which cannot happen when the name is bound in the global scope; but these two concerns are also not identical, and I think it is important to distinguish them.

In Scheme, for example, the scoping rules are the same block-scoping rules we're familiar with from Pascal and C; but the extent of all Scheme values is unlimited — they can continue to exist until the end of the program, regardless of which subroutines have returned. This is also true in the ML family (OCaml, Haskell) and the abundant crop of modern Scheme-descended languages, including JS, Perl5, Python, Lua, and Ruby, but not in C++ or Rust. (Most, though, don't follow Scheme's mind-bending lead in having first-class continuations with unlimited extent, though Ruby does.)

So, what the Forth-2012 locals word set provides is names with dynamic or automatic extent: they refer to values that exist during a particular activation of a particular function. It also provides local scoping for names for them, but this is a much less significant change.
There are only so many $10-15/month services one can sign up for before you’re paying just as much as you would for cable, but now the UX is splintered and shit.

I’m still on an i5 4670k and 16 gigs of ram. I built this system in 2013. I secured a day one 3950x and it arrived this weekend - the rest of the components are getting here throughout next week - and the speed up of compiles and ability to run multiple VMs at once for testing distributed apps is what I’m most excited about! It’s basically a workstation and a gaming rig in one. Gaming is fun but man I can’t wait for some faster feedback loops when I’m developing.
