Stable is subjective. It's also common for non-state hospitals to say "outside our expertise; transfer to state run-hospital".

Thing is the state hospitals will actually try to cure you; and they are fairly good at it. Harborview (part of University of Washington) is the only L1 trauma center in the region.

For-profit hospitals stick it to the taxpayers by doing this. It's a good argument for some form of universal healthcare, since we're paying one way or another.
Could it be that longer books are almost a natural spaced repetition system for ingesting content?

While I agree many 300-page books can be compressed into 10-20 pages of high density summary, I can't help but wonder if the length of a book almost ensures we spend a minimum length of time playing with/thinking about/considering the idea being presented. And that for certain books, the typical time it would take to read through 10-20 pages wouldn't be enough to really let the ideas sink in.

In other words, when I take a 300-page book (or a 10-hour audiobook) and spread it out over 7 or so days, I'm going to spend a lot more time thinking about it (each reading/listening session + some length of time after each session) compared with if I read a highly-condensed blog post and was done with it. Unless I took the initiative and made flash cards or something to review it later on - which I am not in a habit of doing.
So what actually makes the "registry lock" robust against social engineering.

Reading CIRA's page it just says that to make changes the Registrar will talk to CIRA to have to lock removed on their behalf. Doesn't sound like there's any mandatory OOB check from CIRA back to the actual client.
> I wonder if it's even available in libraries anymore.

I just checked my local library, and they currently have a copy on the shelves that I could check out. It doesn't even seem to be "adults only".

I've never actually seen a physical copy before (only photocopies of some pages that my friend asked me to "hold onto for him" and PDFs). Now you've inspired me to check it out next time I'm at the library.

I know for sure that the PDF of the 2000 version by the Jolly Roger is still available online though.
Do what works for you. I absolutely love email. I'll pick up the phone and call someone too, but most things I do aren't so urgent I need to call you and interrupt whatever you're doing right this second so that you can give me your full, undivided attention.

I use email to remind myself of things I need to follow up on, coordinate events, and keep new engagements in a single stream of consciousness. It works well for me.

I don't typically get to 0-inbox, I usually have maybe 10-30 emails in my inbox which are all read and are all there for a reason (listed above and more). I religiously unsubscribe from things (or don't subscribe in the first place) and I will admit it takes some work to keep organized.

I also have all notifications turned off and my email only fetches once/hour anyway. I actually get excited when I get new emails because typically there's something in progress and it's some sort of update or new information I can use to do something I want to do.

So there's nothing wrong with a no-email policy. But I there's also nothing wrong with email. Everything comes down to the processes YOU like and find the most beneficial.
Alternatively, use it as continuous motivation to improve the relative position of the worker and consumer so they are closer to having the ability to give free and fully-informed consent.

the only way I figure it's gonna work is to charge $20 / month for an 'instance' maybe two of them... this way a group of friends can have a private one and a family can have another private one.. at 20 per month for the group they can all chip in, or one person can pay for the whole group.

It's fascinatingly broad...how can Congress make a law, for instance, restricting someone reading aloud top secret classified documents? I suppose they had their own hand-wringing with it, since they shortly after passed the sedition act, which was also let to expire.
Small Team of Dispatchers Saves Lives via Satellite (2019)
Here’s my problem with the approach: it’s a compiler warning. Nobody looks at those so it’s configured to be treated as an error. Now you have to deal with false positives and differences between implementations across compilers. I’d rather have this be part of the language with string guarantees and an obligation for compilers to adhere to the spec. Of course that isn’t possible in C++ without breaking existing code, which is why this ended up where it is.
Vittorio Romeo has been proposing[0] an "epochs" feature for C++ which would enable modes like "strict." This would let them define things like const-by-default, requiring nulltpr instead of 0, etc. He's facing some resistance by other WG21 members.

How much is the battery cell temperature deviating?
At first I thought this was a disappointing scandal and then I realized it wasn't.

What confused me was the word kickback by the Wirecutter business team. If they'd said affiliate fee, which is what they really meant, then it would have fit perfectly with my model of what they do. That model is review products as best as they can and make money through affiliate fees.

I'd never thought through the edge cases of that affiliate model before since almost everything I look up on the WireCutter has an Amazon link. If the product they recommend is on Amazon, then getting the affiliate payment is straightforward. But if the product they end up recommending isn't on Amazon, then, yeah, I guess they have to approach the company about setting up an affiliate payment. The problem there though is that The Wirecutter has no leverage if they actually do practice editorial independence. If you were NextDesk, why would you say yes?

What bothers me is that NextDesk is using a PR pattern that I find predatory. It's preying on the fact that I wouldn't have time to think critically. So NextDesk has jumped on this word "kickback" which obscures that the actual accusation is not airtight. But because kickback sounds so bad, I'm inclined to believe NextDesk. In other words, I find that post manipulative and I don't like it.

The meat of the scandal though has two sides with a much less clear cut answer:
A) On one hand, the NextDesk got downgraded. Possibly as punishment.
B) On the other hand, as explained by The WireCutter, it was downgraded because of a new option that was half as much.

I tend to believe B because I find that The Wirecutter is consistently price sensitive. Overly so in my mind.
Someone should start a company called "Google 2010".
Also don't forget "... and at the salary we are prepared to pay".

I have no idea what the salary was these people were offering but often companies seem to moan about there being "no talent" or a "skills shortage" when they're actually just offering unrealistically low salaries/total comp for a highly-skilled and in-demand job so either don't get much interest, or only get applications from chancers and charlatans trying their luck

Especially in the days when these games came out -- the machines they were built to run on were absurdly under-powered by today's standards. When MOO1 came out in 1993, a high-end desktop PC would have had a single-core 80386 CPU running at a blazing 25MHz, and a whopping 4 megabytes of RAM. DOS was a single-tasking operating system, so at least your program didn't have to share those limited resources[1], but still your entire program had to fit within those constraints. That didn't leave a lot of room for AI.

[1] Well, technically it was a single-tasking operating system, but there were hacks like TSR programs (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminate_and_stay_resident_pr...) that people used to run multiple programs at once. So that was an additional wrinkle you had to deal with.
Obviously this article isn't written for the technically-oriented, for those who might say "well duh".

I do find it surprising you can still find computers that come with just a spinning rust drive, let alone in a "premium" machine like the Mac is advertised as.

It's interesting because I've always perceived Mormonism (at least the dogmatic kind) as being intolerant given its history of racism and sexism. I suppose a lot has changed over the years, although I've

This is not how persistent data structures are used in practice. There is no "the" new version of a persistent structure. The best analogy I can think of is to compare it to a VCS (e.g. git). There is no need to lock any existing commit in order to create a new commit (which together with prior commits, represents a new version of the code).

Exmormon here who has spent significant time with relatively larger names in that org. No, Clay was pretty unique in my view. With due respect to him, the tolerance of conflicting belief often portrayed by his co-adherents is typically extended as a proselytizing or marketing tactic and isn't offered to former Mormon congregants terribly often (see reddit.com/r/exmormon for thousands of documented experiences, or the treatment of John Dehlin, Juanita Brooks, or Sam Young).
I did not find Christensen to be especially humble. I recall thinking his response to Jill Lepore's story [1] to be ... not humble.

How does mirage help with data differences with the real back end? I can't see how it isn't just as vulnerable to getting out of sync.

I have another question. Mirage is installed as a dev dependency. But all the examples show it being used in the application code. Do you maintain a separate branch without the import of Server, etc? Or is webpack smart enough to remove all imports/usage of dev dependencies in the prod build? I don't think I've ever imported dev dependencies into app code before.

For that matter, how does it provide a sanity check between what the back end delivers and the front end expects? Do you mean compared to coding to a spec with no mocking? Like when the back end doesn't exist yet?

Clearly I'm missing something. Could be the sleep deprivation.

> With dynamic typing you can easily manipulate types as objects

There are statically typed languages like Agda in which types themselves are "first-class objects" whose types are "kinds" whose types are "sorts" and so on. They form a hierarchy of Russel universes where functions can be defined at every level of the hierarchy. Typical ambiguity even allows to define implicitly universe-polymorphic functions that work on terms of every universe, i.e. you can write a function that can be applied to values _or_ types _or_ kinds just the same.

This doesn’t work. I have blocked over 26k accounts and I still see ads. I don’t have blocked Apple or DuckDuckGo and most of the time I see those, but every single day I’m blocking more and more sponsored accounts because they keep appearing. You can’t block all of them.

Yep, similarly here. eNom successfully "extorted" $300 from me due to it. My fault ultimately in the end though. But it was a stressful couple days, and eNom and Google partnership soured my view of both of them. I no longer do business with eNom.
It is a questionable cause, as low UK-EU business optimism will not result in international sanctions. It is generally considered good etiquette to have cited something credible in the first instance, before blithely demanding proof of others.
I'm impressed you were able to accomplish some specific thing you wanted to do using the FB settings.
I guess it depends on whether you really like music. I find it very nice to just open up the Sonos app and I can play whatever I want wherever I want- and can even play different things in different rooms.

Its not just a holiday thing, its a friday/saturday night thing, or a Saturday/Sunday day thing, or a work from home thing, if I want some instrumental stuff, and its also going outside.

I had a receiver in my old place in my living room, and we were gifted a sonos:1, and the sheer convenience of sonos made us not use our expensive home theater set up in lieu of the $199 bookshelf speaker- and it sounded pretty darn good as well. It integrates with my music library, Pandora, sonos, and a bunch of other stuff I don't use.

I now have Sonos amps that connect to speakers in the ceiling. I am not quite as F'ed as others, but those amps are $600 a piece to upgrade, and I have 6 in the house. I really enjoy it, and its better and cheaper than a receiver in each room, and sounds great. Another benefit to Sonos is that its hidden away- the speakers are in the walls, the amps run down to a central cabinet, and in a townhouse that is not small, but still every sq ft counts, this is a big win.

It may not be for you, but I really enjoy it. This was not a pleasant email to read- especially because I don't really want anything more out of the system, particularly the amps- they need to accept a stream and play it, that's it. I bet this has to do with alexa/google assistant/siri integration that is being forced down our throats in all new devices.
Recently there's been cases where searching for a company name will actually return an ad for a competitor. Companies are being forced into a bidding war to win back the top position for exact searches on their own name.

While one would agree with your list of desirable non-equilibrium phenomena, the need for more power or less people is non con-sequitur, as you fail to show how the listed things require more energy than our current world consumption.

AFAIK, more than enough food and clothing for all people is currently produced, shelter and cleaning probably isn't far, refrigeration for medicine and required food wouldn't take much of industrial output and problems with access to clean water is often caused by "progress" and could be solved with more strategy rather than energy.

Either way, I think most of current energy consumption is for things like heating / cooling inefficient homes, manufacturing things people don't really need, inefficient transportation, brain-dead things like making oil from tar sands etc.
Not in any of the usual meanings of "particle" (an "excitation of a quantum field", which of course is not a particularly elucidating explanation if you are lacking context).
Some twenty years ago, while playing Master of Orion, I asked the Humans to ally with me and go to war against the most powerful race. They replied something like: "Yes, we will be your allies. We fondly remember when you gave us +10 Terraforming."... which had happened scores of turns earlier, when in desperation I bribed them with tech so they wouldn't attack me!
Do you really need them ‘anywhere’ though? I just got a pair of really nice speakers, a mini amp and plugged them into an old Apple TV. They sit happily in the lounge and sound great. They’re not as pretty as a Sonos but they’ll last ages and I can just replace any part of them that goes out of date.

I do like the look of Sonos but the price tag just seemed way too steep
My assumption is that is only for the particular ad or company and that they will just show you ads from other places instead. More of a way to nudge the system into showing you more "relevant" promoted tweets than actually removing them.
Search: DDG is the obvious answer. But also reducing usage of general search is a major life improvement. Wikipedia and Stack Overflow have reasonable built-in searches, as do most sites I view as reasonable sources of information. Most discoverability comes from feeds (blogs, HN, Reddit)--searching limits you to terms you've already thought of. General search seems to lead either to the places already mentioned in good cases, and to low-quality results that waste time and mislead you in bad cases. You can save time and improve thought process by going more directly to sources.

Email: Fastmail. But again, just using email less is helpful. My most common form of communication is using text messages to set up meeting in person.

Facebook: Does this even need a replacement? I haven't made any intentional effort to replace Facebook since I stopped using it, and don't feel any sense of loss. The same goes for Twitter/Instagram. The only thing these services ever did for me was make me feel angry, lonely, or inadequate.

Random side note: Stack Overflow has a serious content quality and up-to-date-ness issue. An alternative is using documentation, reading code, and mastering debuggers/REPLs. This gives you a much better understanding of your tools, and gives you much better solutions as a result.
I think they might have seen this when they implemented this feature in their software.
We aren't being given even the prospect of a trading relationship like Canada, Switzerland or Norway as they would require flexibility on one or other of the UK's immovable points. That's been clearly shown for years now, ever since Michel Barnier put out his very simple slide showing the trading relationship options.

Both the USA and Australia already have trade deals with the EU. The UK does not, and will not for probably years. International negotiation isn't a simple weekend thing like the Tory party keep trying to persuade the ever-gullible UK electorate.

So that's potentially years with nothing. WTO rules. Effectively self-sanctioning to a position far worse than now, and placing a severe cap on potential. Businesses with sense, or heavy EU dependency will leave, in droves. I would expect Toyota and possibly BMW to be probable early exits.

We could, I suppose, get a miracle of a fast agreement, but 26 nations have power of veto, and GB's negotiating team has not shown anything resembling flexibility or any apparent clue how negotiating works.
I’m not sure why you start in the 90s; plenty of people were using C and Pascal in the 80s.

Are you sure there was a big rise in dynamic languages at any particular point? I’m not so sure there really was (but I’m interested in documentary evidence if you know of any).

I always figured dynamic languages became more popular as computers got bigger and faster, so efficiency became less important in most scenarios. But that’s not the only trend -- plenty of people programmed in BASIC in the 80s, on tiny 8-bit computers! It was slow as hell, but P-code can be very memory efficient, so even on a tiny slow computer dynamic languages can make sense.

(I count BASIC as dynamic even though it lacks useful abstraction mechanisms because most dialects manage memory for you automatically.)

Edit to add: maybe Forth is a better example (and a much better language!) although I don’t think it was ever as popular as BASIC.
Why not take down books too? What if Alex Jones publishes a book with the exact same content? Why does the video get zapped, but the book doesn't?
As with many religions, "tolerance" is a sensitive issue: blacks, women, LGBT.

Ok, but isn't the whole point of these cashless businesses that handling cash is expensive?

It requires larger, more complex registers. It requires training and auditing for employees. It increases the chance of employee theft and fraud. It requires paid time for someone to drive to a bank to deposit. It requires better external security, and increases your loss in the case of robbery.

Basically - there are businesses who are clearly able to cut operating costs and keep sales by eliminating cash transactions.

I'm not entirely sure we should stop them from doing so.

---

So let me pose a different question - Can I simply refuse to make change? There are clear and obvious costs associated with that. Why is that different than choosing not to break 100s?

Can I choose to only accept $20s? There are also clear costs with having to handle multiple denominations, not even getting into the actual worthlessness of dealing with pennies/nickels, just from a training and error standpoint.

Can I choose to only accept 20s and also not make change? Where are you drawing the line here?
I’ve found it to be fairly true/common with LDS people. A lot of the foundational beliefs and programs in the church around the family, and about having balance. Last year the Sabbath day service was shortened an hour from 3 to 2, with one of the purposes to reduce the time away from family.
