Maybe you could be the one to raise it on the Slack channel and (even better) get some eyeballs with authority clued in on the matter.
Autokey.
Re: #2, my understanding from friends at the CDC is that lower life expectancy is due to lower incomes (meaning food, medicine, and doctor visits are unaffordable even with health insurance), suicides, and the opioid crisis.

Suicides and obesity can also be caused by low income and drug abuse, so it sounds like the author may be seeing causation where correlation is more accurate.
I agree there must be something that could be done to utilize the click farms elsewhere.

Arweave is doing great stuff but I think it'd still run into a similar situation as archive.org -- Check out the arweave discord dev community if you haven't though!
Are you starting from scratch or building on top of existing libraries? Curious to know because for text editors, there's systems built around CRDTs like automerge and yjs.

But that would be an edge case. I would have assumed that identical twins behave similarly. How do they find enough neglected twins to make a reliable conclusion.
Yes, this was incredibly sudden, and with not support for getting out. They gave 13 days notice of intention to shut down new additions to message archives (extended to 20 days after some commotion). That was October 21, I believe. They have offered a broken group downloader that produces incomplete results. Desperate group owners have been using a Windows piece of software called PGDownload, but Verizon has blocked that. Now the only organized effort is being actively interfered with. Dumbfounding is indeed the word.
I'm not sure the article addressed it, but it appears that we could improve the US healthcare system by making it cheaper without losing quality, simply by letting another country run it for us. If there's no gain from spending more, then there should be no loss from spending less, assuming that we get to restructure the system accordingly.

> We don't want wealthy people to have an outsized influence on politicians. And we want donations to be transparent so we can see how politicians might be influenced by certain donors.

As a pure thought experiment, let's just admit that the rich own our political process, and make it explicit:

- You ballot gets multipied by the amount of tax you choose to pay.

- All contributions have to go through the Treasury, and are public.

- If caught violating the "all your cash in the open" rule, the offender is disbarred from public service.

Again, this is not a complete thought, but the intent is to drive politics away from the current poker match, toward chess.
In my country we have to activate prepaid debit cards by SMS, meaning that the prepaid cards are tied to our real life identity via our phone numbers.

Prepaid SIM cards need to be registered and tied to your SSN here, so a prepaid SIM would not work to get around this problem.

You might think I live in some authoritarian state or something but I actually live in Norway. In general life is good but I find these things disconcerting :(

I guess it might be doable to use one of those online services that will send and receive SMS on your behalf without registering any personal information. But I didn’t try that and for all I know it could be that SMS from such numbers would be rejected or flagged by the bank.
Lots of deaths in the Star Trek world recently :(

Aron Eisenberg (Nog) died about a month ago. D. C. Fontana a week ago. The actor who played Charlie in the TOS episode "Charlie X", Robert Walker. And Marina Sirtis (Deanna Troi) posted that her husband died just today.

René Auberjonois who played Odo in DS9 is especially sad for me. One of the best characters on the best Star Trek show. You will be missed. Enjoy the Great Link.

Corporate DNA in the US seems to be build around two basic principles:

1) Use whatever means to get yourself forward

2) Do whatever you can to hold everyone else back

The Groups thing is a wonderful example of #2 in action. It’s not about preventing access to Groups in particular, just the general principle of preventing and hindering all and always
I always had good experiences with G1 generally.

ZGC and Shenandoah are Oracle and Redhat's respective projects with similar goals. I like the options and activies around GC all personally.
There also were some pretty great "relief programs" in the USSR at the time, where millions of people were relieved of their food and left to die of starvation. A government powerful enough to give you everything is also necessarily powerful enough to take everything.

And "class mobility" is a 100% capitalist concept. Under communism there's no "upper class" to be mobile to.

As of 2018, the US is experiencing the lowest poverty rate in history (considerably lower than e.g. UK, Germany, and France), and record low unemployment as well.

If Musk was a charlatan, we wouldn't have this problem. Musk would have failed to put spacelink satellites in orbit and we wouldn't have this problem.

The reason why we have this problem is precisely because Musk isn't a charlatan.

> I also know a lot of people directly involved in SSA and all of them are very concerned with how much these new constellations are going to increase the risk of collisions

Just because they are concerned doesn't mean they are against SpaceX or Musk. Every venture is open to concern.

Is NASA and the US government SpaceX cultists? You act like Musk just sent this satellites up there without any warning or government approval. He didn't.

All you've done is toss ad hominems at Musk, SpaceX and those who support this venture.
Many years ago I worked at a company that had built a janky version of GraphQL in-house. The model fit our use case perfectly: our customers were dealing with a complicated ontology of objects and it allowed us to build new UIs on top of that data without implementing new REST apis. Of course our implementation wasn't the best but for a certain class of applications the graph-query model is a godsend.
Peterson said many other things that are objectionable. If he only said what Zhukov said, Peterson would also be in a more favourable light.
I’m not sure what you’re getting at. Obviously, healthcare must be paid for somehow and it’s a fair assumption workers bear most of the incidence. However, the role of real incomes and relative prices are generally under appreciated here.ie. It’s not so much that health benefits are something extra as part of total remuneration (ultimately a reflection of rising productivity elsewhere which frees up spending to be allocated to health and other services)

For one thing I do not think you can implement allocator in Rust. This alone would disqualify it as a "low level"/"systems" language in my opinion.

Thanks for fighting the good fight!

I assumed I could help by going to a web page and solving a bunch of captchas for you, but when I read those instructions I found there's more involved (forging a Yahoo account, installing an extension) and it turned me off.

If captcha's are the bottleneck, maybe some generous soul here could figure out a way to automate the rest and just give me a page I can go solve captchas? Further reducing the friction might help get you some more uptick from the community - more monkeys like me banging at typewriters.

Sorry I wasn't more help, and best of luck with your efforts.
Wait but you can do that pattern in any language (java or cpp, both of which are static, and one which is unmanaged).
It wasn’t until World War One that the concept began to be considered again. In June 1918, Major Edward T. Moore and Saul Singer filed a patent for a centrifugal machine gun powered by an electrical motor (US #1,332,992). The motor spooled up the centrifugal barrel assembly to rotate extremely quickly and impart centrifugal force on projectiles. According to Julian Hatcher the gun could fire steel ball bearing projectiles at approximately 1,200 feet per second. Fire was controlled by a stop pin in the ammunition feed tube. Moore claimed the weapon could fire a projectile 1.5 miles with enough force to kill a man. He also suggested the weapon’s rate of fire approached 2,000 rounds per minute. It appears that Moore’s gun may have been tested in 1918 but Hatcher described its accuracy as ‘extremely poor’.
I'd like to see a comparison of what you can get with $3000 in Tuvalu vs. what you can get with $30000 in Mississippi.
It should be obvious, if you are a supporter of democracy, that the right to free speech, expression and the right to not be dragged out of your house in the middle of the night and sent off to the Siberian gulags should be indispensable in any developed society today. All of these values form the foundational core from which a healthy society can thrive and grow and love (according to his definition of it in the article). Yet all of these qualities are sorely void in the Russian state today. In their place is a corrupt apparatus put in place by Putin and his underlings, with the intent of efficiently plundering and exploiting the country's assets for their own personal gain. Any resistance to this on going robbery are put down by a brutal, organized network of thugs with the full backing of "the state". This klepocratic system have the Russian people locked into a vice grip while their futures and their childrens futures are slowly bled out of them like blood from a giant leech. The young man decided to take a stand against this system, to speak out against their blatant corruption, fully accepting that he might lose some of the brightest years of his life locked up in a Russian jail cell. And what's even more impressive to me is that his resistance may very well be for naught, besides adding a name to a long list of dissidents that have been imprisoned/murdered for daring to speak out against the regime. Even being fully aware of these facts, he has chosen to stand for something that he believe is worth fighting for, consequence be damned. This act had taken more courage than anything that I've ever done in my entire life, combined.

And yet your take away from this article is he's a Jordan Peterson fan. Fucking LMAO.

In their original FCC filing, they were estimating 386 kg per satellite. The ones launched in May were 227 kg each, and those last month 260 kg (they added the Ka-band antennas).

I am not sure how much heavier will the satellites be when they integrate the ISLs (if they do), but I believe that in any case they will be under 330 kg.
You can implement an allocator in Rust; it's unclear why you think this is not possible.

One example:

It was proposed and retracted, because m68k got ported to the new infrastructure.
Its far more likely Epstein was working with R Kelly than mossad.
After years of programming, I am convinced that complexity cannot be overcome. For any non-trivial application, complexity is inevitable.

In my view, we, as developers, should take up complexity, so that the user is unburdened from it. Ultimately, that is the value addition of software. Remove complexity and improve productivity.

Fundamentally, data is relational and hierarchical, no matter how we store it (Documents / SQL). The value added by GraphQL, and often touted in documentation, is that the client, has control over the shape of the data received from the server. Though packaged in a slightly easier to read syntax, GraphQL is essentially SQL. Sending a GQL query is fundamentally sending an SQL query set, with joins and where clauses, and having a layer of abstraction that understands the query and converts it into lower levels calls to data storage systems.

In my view, this is a more powerful syntax and more flexible than using a REST API. To achieve the same with REST calls, you would have to do something akin to multiple simpler SQL queries, with manual linking of relational data.

I am sure, there will be more innovation in this area, particularly with pairin GQL with Document databases.

Repo Blowup Was Fueled by Big Banks, Hedge Funds, BIS Says
There are probably really costs here. From their initial message in the post, it sounded like it would cost them “something” to allow all of the data to be archived. I could imagine that the data for these groups was expected to fall into a 80:20 distribution between cold data and hot data (Or 90:9:1 between archived data, read only, and read/write). If you start pulling data from the archive or cold tier, then you could disrupt that storage pattern. Moving the data around could end up causing some kind of monetary cost.

But it seems strange to me that they would actively try to thwart these efforts and remove the possibility for a great deal of good will.
Well frankly I did not read the article. But I am all too familiar with discussions of criticality in the context of neuroscience and it is always meant in the same way physicists use the word.

I'm afraid this may be a scenario where some deeper knowledge is needed to fully appreciate the discussion. You would be well rewarded for putting in the effort though, it's a fascinating notion. I'd recommend starting with the Ising model [0] which is the canonical system exhibiting critical phenomenon.

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ising_model

edit: if by 'this' you are referring the the wiki article on critical phenomenon, you're definitely missing the larger picture. The examples that wiki article lists aren't metaphorical, they're all essentially 'corollaries' (in a very loose sense) of the same underlying thing. Start with the Ising model.
Please stop posting misinformation about the AMA. It does not limit the number of doctors. The actual bottleneck is in residency slots, and the AMA is actually advocating to increase funding there.

Most patients are able to shop on price. The majority of insurers now provide web sites where their members can obtain estimates of out-of-pocket expenses for common treatments at network providers. There are still some gaps and room for improvement but most people are able to do price comparisons for non-emergency care if they want to.

The surrender came after Nagasaki (which is a plausible reason to surrender to the US), but it also came at a time when a Russian invasion was imminent (which is also a good reason to surrender to the US - in Europe, the US army had been much gentler to civilians than the Russian one had).

That is one hell of an analogy. I'm going to try to use it.

Do you have a public repo of your Advent code? I started out trying to use Zig but couldn’t find documentation on how to complete even basic tasks (like passing a filename as a command line arg, then opening and reading a file line by line), so I gave up. Maybe seeing a repo of good Zig code accomplishing these tasks would get me going.
Seems risky at this point, since they’ve already posted here. Probably better to wait quietly and report.
I think there are some old programming books in some archive can go with it. Just not tape or type in program I hope.

What is the state of GBA homebrew? I've been curious about learning how to make games with it, but I haven't had much luck finding information about the toolchains. I know for original Game Boy/Color, there is a C compiler, but it's not recommended over assembly. Is the GBA the same way?
They did when Rust was as mature as Zig is now. Language popularity is a reasonable deciding factor when one is starting a project that has a hiring component; personal projects not so much.
Each side has no goal to remove bias, but I think the overall process does. By allowing each side to exclude some people, the most biased outliers will likely be removed, and more middle of the road people will remain.
Me too. When I started reading, I realized that my cluelessness is what computer illiterate people probably feel when reading about IT stuff.

But on the whole, I felt that the article was rather trying to state that effect sizes matter, using the ego depletion theory as an example for that. The implications at the end of the article are particularly interesting, or at least, if I were to be more brazen, don't really deny commonly held prejudices on soft sciences...
Well, to some degree it is a liability. It just took this long and some accidents for them to finally figure it out.

That attitude will create a problem - a.k.a. opportunity - for others to come in and solve. Google got rich by scraping the internet and solving the headache of how to find decent content. If there's value in some of this data headed to the dump, it gives a chance for someone to do the same. Who knows, they might even find a way to do in a privacy-respecting manner.

TL;DR: the new framework uses multiple roundtrips to fetch content in different requests.

I think there is also an illusion of unresponsiveness at play here. With a traditional interface, the browser doesn't refresh until the main content is already ready, whereas with the new framework, the new page is eagerly displayed, before the content is retrieved. So you have a period of noticeable lack-of-content and this is perceived as slowness.

We too would read, sing and hum to my son in-womb. While doing so, we'd occasionally hear a loud click, the source of which we couldn't determine. But after he was born, we found out.

> Much like the journalist who use to work for Newsweek but left because of he’s not allowed to publish evidence that the gas attack in Syria never happened...

That's not what happened. Newsweek did not publish his story about a dissenting opinion/analysis that was leaked from OPCW. Just because someone has a dissenting opinion, doesn't make it "an evidence the gas attack never happened". The gas attack happened. At most people are disputing who did it.
The accompanying 'explanation' article suggests such a missile would kill anyone within 3.5 feet of landing.

I'd need to go measure, but it seems the driver of a car and a passenger seated in the back seat (opposite the driver) would not both be killed. So it should be aimed at maybe one or two people, while others in the car might live.

Pretty amazing. Reduced deaths are a good thing, and it diminishes the value of innocent 'human shield' usage.
We did a fun experiment in Chapter 5 of Classic Computer Science Problems in Python. We ran a genetic algorithm to find what order of a list (assuming the order doesn't matter) of names led to the best compression using one of the Python standard library's built-in compression algorithms. This article has made me interested in re-running the experiment with multiple compression algorithms.
