You might have the best of intentions, but you're not really helping anyone.

The US appears to be mirroring China's missteps quite well, and we all know how things turned out there. Unfounded optimism is as dangerous as fearmongering.
That healthspan might be extended along with lifespan is tremendous news. I think people are afraid of living longer than 75 or so because they assume that the rest of their life will be a spent in senility. But if we can figure out how to keep minds and bodies useful as long as a person lives by influencing their epigenetics, we could make people productive and happy for decades longer.
Makes sense, I missed that link somehow.
Ok I’ll weigh in on the masks:

Everything I have read that says “don’t wear a mask” are predicated on the following arguments:

1. Most people don’t wear it right so it’s not worth it

2. Most people buy the wrong kind of mask

3. Most people won’t charge the mask often enough

4. You have to take the mask off to eat/ eventually anyway so it doesn’t matter.

5. Hospitals need the masks not you

...therefore don’t buy masks.

Ok...

But what if I wear it right, change it often, use the right kind and only wear it in a “high risk” situation, like riding a train or other enclosed space?

Every article that says “don’t buy masks because this expert said so” is basically admitting that they DO work. Ok, maybe not “on average” and maybe it’s not effective at “protecting an entire country”. Sure. But that doesn’t mean it won’t work to protect ME.

So bacially it boils down to no one wanting to recommend masks for the above reasons, and to prevent a run on masks. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t effective if you do it right. Anyway, that’s my two cents on all this mask/no mask malarkey. Would love to be proven wrong.
My sense of it was that they were used to having/using all that and so when it tallies to $227, it's not really worth arguing about.
Xiaomi Mi Mix Alpha first impressions [video]
Some context: browser vendors are working on a successor to WebGL, and there's been a debate over what shading language to use.

A text based language would be easier for beginners (since they wouldn't need to install a separate shader compiler) and would avoid sites that need dynamic shaders having to download and run a shader compiler in the browser.

Using SPIR-V bytecode would benefit from a large amount of work put into an existing standard and an open source compiler ecosystem that many companies are already using.

It looks like a decision has been made to accept a text based language, but one that is defined based on SPIR-V semantics and is easily convertible back and forth from SPIR-V. This seems like a great trade off since if it works out it should have the main advantages of both approaches.
Does anyone know what the implication for humans is? Do we know what might be activating these epigenetic regulators in humans and how we can reverse them?
Apple has to grope into the internals of your backend to allow an app that uses an API?

Edit: Thanks for the helpful responses, everyone.
I agree that our health care system is a mess in terms of incentives. The most vulnerable group (65+) is covered nearly universally. So the main issue will be to control the spreading and prevent overloading of the medical system. From that perspective while the younger people are not as vulnerable there is no way to stop the spreading unless they seek help at the earliest time. And they will be vastly cheaper to treat than someone on ventilator for weeks. So even from an economic point of view, making all transmissible respiratory diseases free to diagnose and treat has a very high ROI.

It took some time to train my family of gluten sources, and I am thankful they accommodate me. For the family members that have a difficult time understanding the gravity of celiac disease, I asked them why they don't serve rhubarb leaves. They quickly said they are poisonous. I said to them wheat is poison to me. This helped them to relate it to something that they can understand.

Try to bring food, like buns, with you to family events. Unfortunately, cross-contamination is your biggest enemy, so you might want to have a backup plan if you are not comfortable. I always respectfully decline food if I believe there is a risk.

I only eat at restaurants that I know that the chef is aware of preparation. The best ones have celiac disease themselves, or they like to talk about how they prepared the meal. If I ask someone at a restaurant about their GF options and they do not understand, I will not eat there.

Here in the States, the GF options are plentiful.

On the bright side, over the last 18 years, I found that wheat is not the worst thing that you might need to avoid. Treat yourself to an ice cream :)

I can see your point, but that does beg the question: what niche does a nonacademic nonprofit fill? It seems to me that's it's not filling a particular niche at all, but rather sitting somewhere between a corporate lab and a traditional academic lab. It's for those who are okay with trading off some of the freedom of academia for some of the resources afforded by industry.

How does having the ability to personally opt out of the walled garden prevent others from staying in the garden? You may not want to opt out of the garden but I don't see why you would want to deny that the others? Surely they can decide for themselves.
Sure, but in the end a phone by now is not like a console.

A console is a pure luxus good with many alternatives, one which is pretty open (the computer).

A phone is a by now pretty much necessary(1) equipment for the daily live majorly affecting it. With just two "viable" alternatives Android and iOs and a ecosystem+patent mess which make it close to impossible to create a 3 competitor (besides niche markets).

So it's ok if a game console is looked up, it's not if a phone is looked up. (EDIT: REMOVED misleading sentence)

---------------------------------

(1): Yes you can live with old style phones and I know even one person which does so. But it's a major impact onto your live making it hard in many often subtitle ways so not really viable for the general population. E.g. for Banks in the EU to buy anything over Credit Card which is not little risk (mid or higher amount, untrusted shop in Asia, etc.) it will enforce second factor authentication of the transaction. The gotcha is that for some (?many?most?) banks this can only be done through a phone app only available on iOs and _Unrooted_ Android, but not Windows or rooted Android or over a web interface or OS X or Desktop Linux. So basically you can't any longer properly use a credit card without a locked up smartphone with some (?many?most?) European banks...

But it is not really proven, that Assads troups did use it. (which was probablyop's point).
They knew, that chemical weapons could lead to an international intervention like in libya. So what would be the benefit, when they had air superiority anyway?

The rebel groups on the other hand would have profited very much from international intervention, so they could have an motive to stage it. And since ISIS and alike rose from the rebels, there surely were many cynical enough to do this "for the greater cause".
I think there's a good chunk of it that's just nerd-sniping.

Some it was just a sort of stand-alone complex, too; people started writing monad tutorials because people writing monad tutorials was the thing to do. In the Go community, there was a run for a couple of years of people making stupidly overoptimized HTTP routers, even though there's very few websites where that's actually the problem and even fewer where the answer was to create a fancy router. Why? Because other people were making stupidly overoptimized routers. It was a smaller instance of the same thing and ultimately damaged the community less than I think the overfocus on monad tutorials did for Haskell, but it was not the best thing for Go.

Monad tutorials did have a particular problem, though, which is that rather a lot of them were wrong, too. I made my own list of issues here: http://www.jerf.org/iri/post/2928 That particular post is in the context of people trying to implement "monads" out of Haskell, but the misconceptions I list tended to come from the lower quality Haskell tutorials in the first place. Then, as is the way of things, the wrongness spread around the world before the correction had its boots on, as the saying goes.
I'd be interested to see your disaster recovery plans for each choice you've made. When any of those fail what do you do for continuity? How do you back up your data?

Of course there won't be. I just watched Trump in a press conference say that (literal quote) "If bad things happen there after we leave we will be back with a huge force". You really can't make this stuff up.
One downside: you will probably need a bit more memory to do the same work. An unmentioned benefit: better ASLR, for what that's worth.

> A 64 bit system means that RAM can be accessed in 8 byte read/writes per instruction.

I mean...kind of but that's probably not really what's happening in this benchmark. Firstly, in that test `memset()` is surely using NEON instructions internally on both ARMv7 and AArch64, which can load/store up to 32 bytes in a single instruction. Further that test is really just showing the bandwidth of the memory controller. I'm not sure why AArch64 would matter there. It's possible that `memset` / `memcmp` are using smarter prefetching instructions in AArch64.
Leap seconds affect Unix time too, because leap seconds are excluded from "number of seconds since Unix epoch". You can't measure the length of time intervals spanning leap seconds with simple subtraction.

I understand you are worried about newbies misuse APIs. You remind me that I should add a warning to inform the sample code in this article should not use in programs. Thanks.

Also, I did not advocate a newbie should start and stop threads by themselves. I want to say I agree that we should use high-level APIs in most cases, but, in some cases, we may need to use low-level APIs to achieve our missions. I am unwilling to limit what kind of APIs should use. In my opinion, like you said: "you have just seriously over-architected the solution," we should be careful to use APIs. Even though high-level APIs are safer, programmers may misuse them.
In reality, yes - for purpose of illustration, I was thinking of idealized planets acting as point masses.

I've set up automated welding cells, and the "settings" excuse sounds totally reasonable to me haha. There are indeed a million settings (weld weave pitch and amplitude, wire feed speed, linear feed speed, gas flow rate, amperage, etc.) that are hard to tune 100% correctly and don't have "analytic solutions" (i.e. you tune some values like a monkey until it gives the result you want). Seems like this tank failure was their "destructive testing," although most people would probably have used smaller samples to save money. As someone else said: pressure vessels are hard!
Rhubarb leaf comparison is nice... but they don't stick to everything like gluten does. At family gatherings, we bring home-prepared meals and hope relatives don't pester us about it. It's a even harder challenge at professional dinners that are prepared by well-meaning colleagues. We've given up on eating out altogether, perhaps it's just the severity of the allergy. Activated charcoal helps control the symptoms from exposure, but it is not a treatment.

Sure, there's an imperfect competitive framework in place. It can be improved. Regardless, AMD failed to compete effectively in that framework over the last few years. The fact that AMD now has a superior offering attracting significant orders implies that competition is possible in spite of the unfairness. AMD probably would have done much better previously if they had produced better products.

> Ideally you would use a turntable to rotate the cylinder while welding the sections together with a sub-arc machine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-hfExEmGsE

Uh, at least in the video that steel is pretty thick. Starships skin is slightly less than 4mm thick... while in that video they have a 2cm deep groove, would the same technique actually work?

For what it's worth, ULA stainless steel (<1mm thickness) upper stages are resistance welded instead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0fG_lnVhHw&t=41m10s

That said, I think a lot of the decisions right now are based on "what can we quickly experiment with" not "what is a good long term plan". Building a 9m turntable (diameter of the rocket) would take a long time.
Thank you for the link. I suspected it went back further than 1959, but could not come up with a publication for it. I should have searched wikipedia. I had a great interest in the Ice Age in my youth. Most of the books I read on the subject were older than 1959. The idea that the Ice Ages were caused by the green house effect was quite prominent in most of them. They did not extrapolate it to industrial, Agriculture, and individual pollution. Though I do recall a theory I read that the Agricultural Revolution is what ended the last Ice Age.
Safety tension boils over at hearing on Autopilot
No, you didn't. Else you could stop "delegating".
My 13-year-old did it on his iPhone SE with a little help from me. Hardest part was getting the old battery free of the adhesive gluing it to the case. He wouldn't use the hair dryer long enough to make the adhesive more pliant and ended up twisting and yanking the battery free.

I put the old battery in a bucket on concrete overnight because he thought he might have punctured the envelope and I was worried about it catching on fire. No problem recycling it.

It was about $20 for an Amazon battery kit that came complete with tools. Had 20% more charging capacity than the original (when it was new) and my son is very happy with the result. Earphones worked fine, screen worked fine, etc.
It describes a part of the middle class that gets its income from the market and another part that gets its income from non-market sources such as universities and the government and I found it a useful lens through which to view current events.

I was taught about the problem in elementary school in The Netherlands at around the year of 1990. We had it as "theme week". Which means we had to, for example. make a collage about it. At another time (around same year) we had such about alternative energy as well ("alternatives to the status quo ie. coal").
10k for the ventilator is on the low side, but assuming you could buy one you still need an ICU or rough equivalent to take care of everything else and a massive autoclave for periodic sterilization or you're going to get a nice infection on top of your already very bad air supply situation. This is well outside of DIY territory, though there are people living in 'Iron lungs' for decades (but those are typically strong enough to survive for a while outside of them and can breathe independently if they have to, they use the iron lungs for relief).
Problem is they don't _only_ sell to law enforcement.

As far as I know, they sell to anyone which pays well and don't go public about using it.

I.e. I wouldn't be surprised if some questionable agencies focused around dodgy detective work or "discrediting" PR work. Heck I also wouldn't be surprised if he literally (but probably unknowingly) sold it to organized crime for which it quite valuable for tracking down witnesses which need to be pressured into keeping silent or some other bullshit usage.

I mean that is one of the major problems with the whole think: It's not a government/state controlled database only used by law enforcement. (Which still would be a problem but a bit less).

> He wasn't actually quoting from a research paper or anything there though, was he?

Unfortunately, most people get their information from the media. When a Climate Scientist, recognized as an expert, makes a declarative statement, that statement will be in the minds & discussions more than a scientific paper. Re: the science, there is plenty of criticism & the statements in the media by scientists, media, & politicians present more certainty than scientific papers.

> “Milder winter temperatures will decrease heavy snowstorms” – IPCC (2001)

> Are you arguing that there haven't been warmer winters and fewer cold spells in temperate countries?

The entire statement is the prognostication for milder winter temperatures AND a decrease in heavy snowstorms. I'm not aware of a decrease in heavy snowstorms or milder winter temperatures. I am aware of adjustments to measured temperatures, by the NOAA, which make the 1930s adjusted to be cooler and modern temperatures adjusted to be warmer.

What you're describing is how farm tractors are repaired, not how aerospace mfg. is conducted.

You can't "test out" bad metallurgy, welding or mfg. in rockets.
> The problem happens when you actually use it in practice.

I think it's fair for any code publisher to require that the freedoms he/she gives with his/her code never get taken away and it or its modified versions can never get locked up or used in opposition to the wishes and interests of the users (i.e. the users retain the ultimate control over modifying behavior by modifying the code).

> Due to this reason, many companies forbid the use of GPL licensed software as well as release anything under it (because then you can’t use your own code!)

It seems you have a misunderstanding here, and I think it's a common one. You can use your own code in any way you want. You own the copyright, you decide the rules. And you don't need any agreements with yourself. Further, you can release your code to multiple people, each with any license you want. You can also sell proprietary licenses to companies that prefer it, while also releasing the same code under a GPL license to the public.

> ... the US would remove the Taliban very quickly...

No, no, no. The Taliban were broadly distributed throughout Southern Afghanistan, and they had a cross border sanctuary in Pakistan.

For its own reasons (Kashmir and the regional rivalry with India), Pakistan didn’t want to alienate the Taliban, and their military and ISI thus had extensive relations with the Taliban.

The US did not have enough leverage to get Pakistan to shut down the Taliban on its side of the border, and likewise did not want the destabilization of a nuclear state with borders on China and India that would accompany violations of Pakistani sovereignty inherent in large scale bombing.

I will take going to market faster over saving a few dollars on server costs everytime I'm given the choice.

If you want a similar rabbit-hole, have a quick look at what the thyroid can do if its low. A fault in the amount of T4 / T3 the thyroid puts out can disturb your head, heart, sleep, exercise and a host of other aspects. Gluten has an effect.
