I don't entirely disagree. There may be negative changes in brain structure associated with early onset use - though there may also be positive changes that will go unnoticed because of stigma.
I've been trying to figure out how much is specifically allocated to this "Space Force".

Is it just a notional change, or is new money going to into this, increasing the (already large) U.S. military spending?
I do not see how that follows. What damage does CAB do to the country that the British and 70 years of Congress/Samajwadi Party/Bahujan Samajwadi Party and other assorted liberals have not already done?

It has been useful for me.

Recently I moved to Sweden and some Swedish girl told me she doesn't like that East Europeans come to her country and that East European women (she's probably refering to me) are seen as low class and not cherrished in Sweden.

When I got DNA test from 23andme and it says I am 80% Scandinavian despite parents were living in East Europe and that I am from the original Viking linage.

So it had positive effects on my self esteem.
It would be cool if anyone has a source for the improved trucker safety record. It is just common sense, though. I don't know how this no-sleep system ever got traction.
Hm, thank you. I checked a few sources when adding this one but will go back and double-check the specifics/qualifiers.

Wikipedia, incidentally, seems to support the shorter timeline:

“The official start of construction took place on March 8, 1942, after hundreds of pieces of construction equipment were moved on priority trains by the Northern Alberta Railways to the northeastern part of British Columbia near Mile 0 at Dawson Creek. Construction accelerated through the spring as the winter weather faded away and crews were able to work from both the northern and southern ends; they were spurred on after reports of the Japanese invasion of Kiska Island and Attu Island in the Aleutians. During construction the road was nicknamed the "oil can highway" by the work crews due to the large number of discarded oil cans and fuel drums that marked the road's progress.[9] On September 24, 1942, crews from both directions met at Mile 588 at what became named Contact Creek,[10] at the British Columbia-Yukon border at the 60th parallel; the entire route was completed October 28, 1942, with the northern linkup at Mile 1202, Beaver Creek, and the highway was dedicated on November 20, 1942, at Soldier's Summit.”

While I agree, that we need a Community's browser (one, that fully supports XML, ideally bringing back the original Seamonkey/Firefox way to do things), rather than a Corporation's browser, I doubt it could be made more simple. Today's technologies are here for a reason. It's always what you use your kitchen knife for. Change will not happen. But what we can do, is to keep "our" web alive and active, and communicate and socialise outside of the big corps wet dreams.

Just create your part of the web the way you want it to be, and as long as we keep up, we will not vanish. We need to understand, that we must support non-profits, like Archive.org, with our money, though.

You're right and I wish I could afford it. Real Estate prices are validation that cities are a better way to live. I bought a car 8 months ago and I've only driven 1500 miles but I'd love to drive less. We have inherited a legacy of feeble foresight and racism, built into our cities and roads, but we're going to build something better in our time.

> there's still zero indication that vaping is harmful, so at the very least it's not as bad as smoking since it's been around for a decade at least now and nothing obvious has come up

Do you know how long smoking was around before we had actual evidence that it was harmful?

(Hint: The rough order of magnitude of the time is centuries.)
I just got a settlement check in Lovelace v Global Payments Inc (http://lovelacesettlement.com/). The grand total? 20 cents. Read the FAQ, it's fascinating:
$540,000 total from the company
-$135,000 lawyers fees
-$2,500 settlement representative (whatever that is)
-$164,224 to distribute the payment
-----
$233,276 for clients.

I have no idea how much the company made by charging transaction fees on credit card payments for student loans (that's what they're accused of) but they got off with a slap on the wrist. They should have been required to give back ALL the money they made. Fucking scammers.

I don't disagree about the part that lawyers enriched ourselves, but like the librarians eating cake in Tallahassee, I don't really care about that, personally. I do disagree with the part about spending $800M on lawyers - if that came out of Equifax's own pocket, that would be ten times more effective at B than spending $80M. If you made them spend $8B on lawyers, Equifax might well shut down, and scare the other credit reporting agencies into behaving. That is valuable to me.

I'll be honest, as a victim, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with $125, either. I expect most people will spend it on themselves, but even spending it on credit monitoring doesn't actually fix the problem, it just makes the problem a little less bad, maybe, at the cost of enriching other companies that depend on this ecosystem of profiting off other people's data. I would genuinely prefer a settlement that cost Equifax $800M and got me nothing to one that cost $80M and got me $125.
That is still the same order of magnitude.

$5T would be "wildly off"...

And you must concede that even "only" a $170B reduction in medical costs could change the entire market.
Right... the argument that “that isn’t the original Hebrew” is moot. People read their versions of the Bible and most versions are explicit in their aversion to gays.
>This is bullshit think of the children scaremongering. Even among teens smoking rates are dropping.

Yeah, but your source also says that vaping rates are up, outstripping any decreases in smoking rates.

>It showed that 27.5% of high schoolers had vaped in the past 30 days in 2019, up from 20.8% the year before. Meanwhile, teen cigarette-smoking rates dropped from 8.1% to 5.8% in the same time period.

This seems to support what the parent post is saying:

> E.g. instead of fewer people having very expensive cancer care, vaping could still cause some damage and incur costs across more people.
Assuming you aren't going to be gaming on Linux directly (only in the Windows VM), PCI-E bifurcation can do this. Going down to x8 from x16 only loses you a few FPS, generally speaking, and something like Sliger's SM560 (http://sliger.com/products/cases/sm560/ - no relationship but I have a SM550 and am pretty happy with it) would allow you to fit a 2-slot Nvidia card for the Windows VM (recommended over AMD; Vega & Navi AMD cards cannot don't do pcie FLR or full reset properly so you'll have to do full machine reboot per VM restart if you're using one of those for Windows), and a 1 slot AMD workstation card for desktop usage. Note that you'll need a motherboard with BIOS that supports bifurcation; Gigabyte & ASrock tend to, ASUS rarely if ever does, other brands YMMV, but regardless you should check mobo manual before purchasing and see if the settings are there.

In purely financial terms, it's negative; premature deaths from tobacco (even with the health care costs of tobacco-related disease) actually significantly reduce health and net social welfare costs.

The benefit is in years and quality of life (mostly in the after-working-career years), not financial returns.

It's controversial merely because it doesn't belong in a security tool that's intended to warn users about malware.

I say this as a non-management, rank-and-file employee: I don't like the idea of activists (whether I agree with their cause or not) hijacking the company's internal tools to broadcast their message. There are plenty of ways to communicate with your colleagues, there's just need to resort to that.

The worst part is that when the activists abuse the company's open tools, the likely response will be to put more restrictions down the tools. In the end, everyone loses because of one individual's thoughtless, narcissistic actions.

One thing I've wondered about with this sort of language fuzzing is how well the fuzz inputs cover the program under test. They had all the tools in place to measure that, but I didn't see them report how well they did.

Ideally, one would like to adjust the fuzzer based on that information to steer executions to lesser covered parts of the code (or, possibly, toward parts you want to focus your testing on.)
If you can use Google, you can use LexisNexis or Westlaw (and they both, IIRC, have excellent online help.)
I don’t see this as a game changer. It may be revolutionary in terms of technological achievement, but what’s the “killer app” for this? SMS is ok, because it is already unreliable on traditional cellular networks and there’s no saying how long a message would take to reach. Voice and data seems to be a fantasy, especially if it has to scale. Latency and packet loss (presuming it’s all going to be IP based) would make this almost as good as existing satellite Internet services or somewhat better than them. What’s new here that would make it work significantly better than current technology for voice and data, and how are the limits of physics being tested or worked around?

If Apple wants to launch satellites that can communicate with phones directly, I’d prefer that the work go into better maps and better real time navigation (though I’m not sure how the latter could be helped much with satellites). Apple users need this more than anything novel and fancy if Google’s lead on this needs to be narrowed.

Depends on where marijuana products end up on the regulatory spectrum. Vitamin E acetate is added to thicken the THC + solvent solution, because to users, a thicker solution appears to mean that the THC is less diluted than it actually is.

If marijuana products are regulated like supplements are today, there's really no reason why less than scrupulous vape cartridge manufacturers wouldn't do exactly what they're doing today. There's no regulatory oversight when it comes to supplements.
Somebody who plays the games GP thinks are good, obviously.
I think that's still true, it's just that the internet + social media let a lot of people become publishers at once, and we haven't yet decided to whom we should listen.

There are a lot of mistakes being made for which consequences have not yet occurred. Journalists of previous generations on whom we could rely had built up lifetimes-worth of reputation. On whom can you rely today? It's an open problem which I think is solvable in spite of today's difficulties.
Many products which contain THC have Vitamin E (acetate) added to them. I understand the desire to not have "THC" and "carcinogen" in the same headline, but the headline is factually accurate.
You forgot Banting and Best[1]. They went from coming up with the idea for synthetic insulin, developing the treatment, testing it on animals, then themselves, then testing it on patients, then developing and releasing a commercial product and winning the nobel prize in medicine in 3 years! This was of course long before the FDA was around and if they tried to do the same thing at that pace today we'd throw them in prison.

3 Galatians is largely a deprecation notice for all the Old Testament laws (at least in the context of Christianity). But yeah, some people like to ignore that and use Leviticus to bolster their twisted political views, and if you take it in isolation, it does come across as pretty clear-cut.

Well, if you imagine some prefix method syntax -- let's say, foo[a](b, c, d) instead of a.foo(b, c, d) -- it misses out on one of the advantages, in that method chaining is easier to read. I mean this is a nice feature for function call syntax in general and the benefits of infix syntax is not specific to methods. This is one reason why some new languages make f(a, b, c) and a.f(b, c) produce the same AST. Anyway, I wanted to separate the effects of infix positioning of the method name from those of having distinguished syntax for method invocations, which with static dispatch still carries other advantages.

The funny thing is that the local burgh paper needs that subscription or it will not be there in a couple of years. They need it a lot more than NYtimes, perhaps who has a bigger global base.

My answer to this is yes, absolutely, I will log in and pay for good local news coverage, and I do every day.

If you don’t live there but the story explodes for some reason, why not try to get some new subscribers? Asking for money is not a big deal in my opinion. Asking for it by compromising your UX or user privacy, however (“only paid subscribers can view in incognito”) is terrible.

I dispute that the data doesn't belong to you, even if it was collected by someone else. That's the crux of the matter, isn't it?

Vitamin E dilutions have only found in blackmarket THC vapes. There's simply no need for legitimate vendors to dilute product with vit E Acetate.

THC Distillate which is the base for most THC cartridges is made from any and all cannabis biomass or 'leftovers' from other processes. Since it's a highly pure (~94%) extraction, in terms of cannabis extracts, there is no worry about the starting products' quality/looks/smell as is the case with most cannabis products. All this results in this high-purity substance being much cheaper, and very high value for the customer.

The legitimate cannabis industry has dabbled with other diluents though (such as PG/PEG/VG and most commonly terpenes), mostly to help the very viscous THC distillate work with the cartridge hardware. However, nowadays, cartridge technology has improved so much that it is possible to use very viscous THC distillate in most cartridges. These legit vendors have known about various issues related to health concerns, due to health-savvy cannabis users. PG/PEG/VG are almost completely phased out for terpenes, which are currently seen as the better alternative (compared to PG/PEG/VG, not that it's safe). I've never come across legal cannabis vendors discussing Vitamin E as a dilutant in my research.
That’s verbatim the title of the NPR article.
The road existed after 9 months, but it was unpaved and only open to military convoys, as it often needed repairs and was single track in places. This was fine for its purpose (a land route to get materiel to Alaska in case the Japanese attacked), but isn't what most people think of when they think of a highway.

It's a huge achievement - something like 10,000 soldiers were involved in its construction.

But I worry that when most people think highway they think of the interstate system - straight lines, gentle grades, paved, multiple lanes.

This is more akin to the army setting up camp and building accomodations for thousands - we wouldn't say they built 1000 houses, they put up tents. Still an impressive logistical feat, but... different.

I think there is more to it.

For Internet company, user is what generates value. So it make since for those companies to grab their user as tight as possible especially when the competitors are doing the same.

On the same note, if a user just don't want to login or use the app, then the user is no value or even a negative value for the company. For that, a company can intentionally annoy (the actual word used is Convince) those users until they give in.

With all that been said, what I wanted to point out is, sometime, parasite can be successful. This is why we have many types of parasites in the real world. Automatically assuming "'parasites' will just die" is not going to help if the end goal is to kill all the parasites.
