Argh. Reading the announced paper on arxiv https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.06462 In the introduction:

"Most importantly, we will discuss how it may be possible to test this hypothesis in an (almost) model independent way."

Most. Importantly.

Then in the paper, under "Experimental Test":

"This means concretely that one should make measurements on states prepared as identically as possible with devices as small and cool as possible in time-increments as small as possible.

This consideration does not change much if one believes the hidden variables are properties of the particle after all. In this case, however, the problem is that preparing almost identical initial states is impossible since we do not know how to reproduce the particle’s hidden variables. One can then try to make repeated measurements of non-commuting observables on the same states, as previously laid out in [36]."

And finally:

"[36] S. Hossenfelder, “Testing super-deterministic hidden variables theories,” Found. Phys. 41, 1521 (2011) [arXiv:1105.4326 [quant-ph]]."

So after the "most" qualified introduction, eventually just a reference to her 2011 paper. "Most importantly" "good" ... joke?
This is assuming you can time travel. In reality, you have no idea what hospital your loved ones will end up at, nor whether they will (chances are they will not), nor what systems to protect in advance. On top of that, you would have to convince others that the investment is worth making.
A number of managed providers have multiple DCs within a region as well as DCs in multiple geographic locations.

Also, many have been in operation since before AWS was a thing, and some are larger. So I can't imagine what AWS knows about running a datacenter that others don't.

Now maybe in theory if you can build something to be fully one with the cloud, considering all edge cases, and limiting yourself to only cloud-zen tools (or building your own, or doing vendor lock in). In theory, with enough money, I guess the cloud lets you maybe achieve higher reliability.

The fundamentals of EC2 (lack of dual NICs, dual power supplies and BBU RAID + virtualization and general complexity) means that a single instance is way less reliable (let alone, much worse value) than a single dedicated box. The complexity you need to throw on top of that building block (in the shape of lock-in, compromise, money, latency, application complexity or a combination of these) is pretty significant.
North America Dominates the Global Lung Cancer Drugs Market
The global lung cancer drugs market will continue to grow owing to increasing diagnosis rate and increasing incidence of lung cancer cases across the globe mainly due to increasing tobacco consumption, increase in the lung cancer treatment rates, increasing rate of effective drug approvals as first line therapies, and strategic deals to develop new products. Rapid industrialization leading to increasing pollution is also expected to fuel the lung cancer drugs market during the forecast period 2019–2025.

The lung cancer drugs market by disease type is segmented into small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). NSCLC is the most prevalent lung cancer type and the NSCLC treatment therapies are expected to continue growing at a higher CAGR rate as compared to the SCLC treatment drugs and therapies during the forecast period 2019–2025. The increasing incidence and prevalence of NSCLC makes this cancer type as one of the leading cancers globally.

Oh very nice. I will check that out more later. Definitely love the concept and would be interested in hearing if you have any future plans. I thought it could be cool to define major and minor modes like emacs that you could also "autoload" based on application names or types or even use what monitors are plugged in/wifi/times of day to switch. I suppose you have major modes already with what application is focused.

Blaming the NRA is popular, but people leave out that the academic tide turned against the 1960s view as well: https://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/06/us/06firearms.html

> There used to be an almost complete scholarly and judicial consensus that the Second Amendment protects only a collective right of the states to maintain militias. That consensus no longer exists — thanks largely to the work over the last 20 years of several leading liberal law professors, who have come to embrace the view that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to own guns. See also: http://www2.law.ucla.edu/volokh/common.htm.

If you look at what the Framers contemporaneously wrote about guns and the militia, it’s almost impossible to deny that the purpose of the second amendment is to ensure that able-bodied men would have access to fire arms in order to form militias, to not only combat foreign enemies but potentially domestic ones. Any sort of gun control that undermines that purpose cannot be squared with the second amendment, and we are slowly but surely rediscovering that understanding.

Domains are not case sensitive, but email local parts are! There is no reason whatsoever to do case normalization on local parts of emails on any domain you do not own, as this is strictly incorrect and could lead to a totally different address that also exists (as happened here).

Of course, email providers are free to do whatever case folding or normalization they want, in which case the security burden of avoiding collisions is on the provider. If someone's email provider maps different case variants to the same mailbox, there's still no need whatsoever to do anything to the address, as the user will get it delivered to them regardless. If the provider doesn't do case folding, they will have to enter their local part case sensitively, but that's exactly the same as for any other use of their email address.

I can only imagine how this vulnerability came to be. Unicode is not to blame here. If security-critical password reset code was not audited carefully enough to catch a mistake like this, one wonders what other errors might remain.
In Superdeterminism the obvious line of research is to look for hidden variables when we find things that are seemingly probabilistic or random.

If we found hidden variables to control when a radioactive isotope will decay we could possibly have much safer handling of fission materials, depending on what these hypothetical hidden variables are.

I hear what you're saying, particularly about the author and her passion project. But there are some folks who aren't privileged by any stretch of the imagination who are probably going to experience some income loss or instability as legislation like this become more common. See [1] for an example, and also consider the situation for undocumented workers.

So it's complicated! This will probably be a good thing for most workers, but it'll likely have nasty side effects when it comes to the most marginalized and vulnerable workers

“ Colonial history contains many examples of firearm regulations in urban areas that imposed obstacles to their use for protection of the home. Boston, Philadelphia, and New York—the three largest cities in America at that time—all imposed restrictions on the firing of guns in the city limits. Boston enacted a law in 1746 prohibiting the “discharge” of any gun or pistol that was later revived in 1778; ”

“ Boston’s gunpowder law imposed a 10-pound fine on any person who took any loaded firearm into any dwelling house or barn within the town. Most, if not all, of those regulations would violate the Second Amendment as it was construed in the 5–4 decision that Justice Antonin Scalia ”

During colonial times we did not have a large standing army and relied on state militias.

Rest, relaxation are like sleep. If you're not waking up refreshed and in a good mood, it may be because you were unable to 'turn off the engine'.

Creativity doesn't come from thinking. Nor does enjoying what others have created (and letting them know). Nor does having a sense of humor (try not having one for a while ... see what that does for your social life). And trying to do 10 things at once leads to mistakes and doing far less of them to the best of your ability. Let the machines enjoy being a machine.

No worries.

Is there a mainstream company structure that aligns interests in this way? Or would this require a paradigm shift?
Superdeterminism is determinism, plus a radically different way of thinking about experimental results.

To continue with the coin flip analogy, consider a classical world where a coin flip is perfectly deterministic, given the initial conditions. In the usual way we think about determinism, it's still possible to test whether a coin is fair. Just flip it a bunch of times, a little differently each time, and see if you get a ratio close to 50/50. That's standard science.

In the superdeterministic view, you don't admit this kind of explanation. Instead you say that whatever outcome happened was determined by the initial conditions of the entire universe. If you get all heads, you can't say anything about the coin -- we merely conclude that your hands were predetermined to give it the kinds of initial conditions that would have led to that outcome.

Now imagine repeating an explanation like this for every experiment ever performed. It's on the level of answering "God did it" to every question. We don't do that in science because it kind of defeats the whole point.
Eugene Volokh has done a pretty thorough study of this: http://www2.law.ucla.edu/volokh/common.htm

> The Second Amendment is widely seen as quite unusual, because it has a justification clause as well as an operative clause. Professor Volokh points out that this structure was actually quite commonplace in American constitutions of the Framing era: State Bills of Rights contained justification clauses for many of the rights they secured. Looking at these state provisions, he suggests, can shed light on how the similarly structured Second Amendment should be interpreted. In particular, the provisions show that constitutional rights will often -- and for good reason -- be written in ways that are to some extent overinclusive and to some extent underinclusive with respect to their stated justifications.
Yes, it's a good thing, but of course you should know what you're doing. Reverse proxies and DMZs add a lot of complexity but have poor bang-for-the-buck in security.

But probably the main use of this is for dev setups. And you should pay attention to what you expose to the network there of course, but this is not v6 specific.
> Recently I saw a tweet where someone mentioned that you can include /dev/stdin in C code compiled with gcc. This is, to say the very least, surprising.

Why is this surprising? Do programmers not read books anymore? Almost, any decent C programming book explains that #include reads the specified file and substitutes itself with the content of that file. Any Unix/Linux book explains that /dev/stdin is a special device file that represents the standard input.
You comment just confirmed my thoughts that people in the US often can't afford a car and are forced to go through any insane measures possible to use one since it is a requirement for life in the US.
That does sound very similar. I know that in my interpretation Camus is one of the possible outcomes of Nietzsche's thoughts, and that his thoughts afford for many... I think that is something that resonated with me - that _my_ philosophy does not need to be yours, but that we can still find some common ground to survive with one another.

Untrusted code execution in a Docker container is not exactly safe. Even if the runtime and container are optimally configured for security purposes (uncommon), container runtimes are not designed or particularly thoroughly evaluated for use as a security solution.
> Is this more true for guns than any other object? Is there such a strong casual relationship between proximity and firearms and subsequent injuries and deaths to overcome the other aspects of the discussion?

What other aspect of the discussion do you feel undermines the point that owning a gun actually measurably reduces personal liberty via death? What hard hitting facts do you think are missing here?
The first thing I do when I install an editor is turn all auto-completion off. Especially the auto-closing brackets. Drives me NUTS!
For anyone reading along at home: Gun rights do not derive from the Constitution, they derive from the natural right of a being to protect itself. The second amendment is codifed there to attempt to limit the power of the government to take away that right. Despite what you may have been told it is not a collective right (there's no such thing), it is an individual right. Just like every other right enumerated in the Constitution.
The linked paper addresses this objection in a fun way: perhaps the tobacco company lawyers argue in court that "smoking doesn't cause cancer; every experiment was super-determined to assign those pre-disposed to cancer into the smoking group!"

The paper replies with the following argument: in super-determinism, statistical independence is an emergent property which holds at macro scales, so classical experiments do enjoy statistical independence. In your hypothesis - yeah, the game is rigged!

But superdeterminism comes into play at the quantum scale where we know things are already kind of fucked, which is why we're talking about this at all.

The idea is that God places Her thumb on the quantum scale alone. You might try to foil Her with an experiment exquisitely sensitive to a quantum measurement: the cat lives or dies according to the millionth decimal place of some measurement. But actually "cat lives" and "cat dies" might be very close in state-space - in the sense that two arbitrary real numbers might have some arithmetic relationship which cannot be proven (Chaitin's incompleteness theorem).

Publishing and subscribing are through SQL SELECT statements which can be called straight forward enough from most or all languages. Administering it does indeed require shell or ruby.
Better still in my opinion if possible, implement your business logic in PL/pgSQL procs with these SELECTs within them and call them from whatever client/frontend you are using. I know it's not cool right now but there's big advantages and a disadvantage to putting business logic in the DB is said to be vendor lock but when it comes to Postgres, lock me up and throw away the key.

It is a very good summary; matches a lot of my own notes on it. One thing to note though...

> Adler’s main point in the first section of his work about how to read a book is that it’s best to gain knowledge straight from the source. Instead of going through a teacher sharing the main points of a book, he considered it better to read the book yourself. He called this concept “original communication”—the idea that information coming directly from those who first discovered an idea is the best way of gaining an understanding.

Also worth checking out is Adler's "How to Mark a Book" : http://chuma.cas.usf.edu/~pinsky/mark_a_book.htm

Read though the first section thoroughly (I recommend attempting all the strategies presented in it on the book itself), and then skim through the "how to read this type of book" section - it's really not necessary and much less enjoyable of a read IMO.
By the time you hit IDNs, regexes for validation are no longer your biggest issue. Your real check for validity at that point becomes "can I actually contact the host" (or send an email, if validating an email address), and there is little point in aggressively validating a purported domain name instead of checking if it actually exists.
But it can't really be _fully_ solved. In any case there will be people who simply refuse the responsibility of being a proper adult and _choose_ to live under a bridge. In a city of a 700K+ people (Seattle) there will be hundreds of such folks. What do you do with them in a free country?

I wouldn't go that far. Parcel is fine for small stuff, but it doesn't allow nearly as much control as Webpack. In enterprise you're likely to run into limitations. Parcel 2 is supposed to get plugin support, but who knows if that'll be any better than Webpack.

The technologies you listed are message brokers, while Message DB is a message store. The former transport messages, and the latter is a database specialized for storing message data and sourcing system state from those messages. Kafka can, for example, move a lot of events around, but it isn't suitable for event sourcing for 2 key reasons.

The first is that one generally has a separate stream for each entity in an event-sourced system. Streams are sort of like topics in Kafka, but it would be quite challenging to, say, make a topic per user in Kafka. The second is Kafka's lack of optimistic concurrency support (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2260). The decision to not support expected offsets makes perfect sense for what Kafka is, but it does make it unsuitable for event sourcing.

Being built on top of Postgres, Message DB gives you access to event sourcing semantics using a familiar database technology.

We use Message DB in our production systems, and I'd be happy to talk more about it if you have other questions. We've found it very reliable.

As a disclaimer, I'm listed as a contributor at the Eventide Project, the project Message DB was extracted from, though I did not write any of the code behind Message DB.
Care to explain why? My point was that, the availability of a painless way to die was a very big blessing for that man at that time. Do you disagree?

But experiments already do use classical (i.e. macroscopic) sources of randomness. For example, to oversimplify a little, you might literally flip a coin to decide the specific measurements done in a run of a Bell test experiment. Such experiments still give puzzling results, so if superdeterminism is to work as an explanation of anything at all, it must hold all the way up. Superdeterministic explanations have to apply even to things like coin flips, which, again, leads to the end of science, wailing and gnashing of teeth, etc.
