> So all of these groups choose to live in separate neighborhoods, because they all are racist to each other?

No, because the empowered class artificially created ghettos, and either forced racial separation directly or indirectly by removing access to societal resources, forcing communities to form to compensate. Of course Cuban refugees will form Spanish speaking communities in a hostile Florida - everything is in English (which they're still learning), many local whites don't want them there and sometimes make that very apparent, and the community is already filled with people with the same background that "made it work," so can offer useful advice and resources.

This doesn't change anything about diversity bringing power, when one can overcome societal biases and racism.

I was thinking of Hancock when I wrote the post.

One of the major problems with this particular idea is that the number of things that would have to be wrong is so large, we're essentially talking about rewriting everything from scratch. It's on roughly the same level as geocentrism at this point.

The advocates rarely if ever point out real evidence and instead claim things like gobekli tepe (or worse, yonaguni) support their argument based on very deep misunderstandings.
Here's a video that she made on the subject in mid-2019 [1]. I really love her other videos and her philosophical pragmatism [2][3], but honestly I don't know why she's been spending so much energy on this particular subject.

Regarding climate change, do we need more research? I don't know but it seems like if we're going to divert funds then maybe it should be toward action at this point.

Corporations think they have to protect people from themselves now because people are now required, even encouraged, to blindly run all remote code they're sent. It's because browsers have become the OS. And now it's standard to metaphorically open every email attachment you receive.
That would be old way of determining calories which is not used anymore. Also, the method of burning food in that specific test wont burn diamonds.
>How does the spent fuel get aerosolized and into the atmosphere?

I'm not an expert, but fuel reprocessing is generally done is an aqueous state. The widely used PUREX process, for example, starts with dissolving the spent fuel in nitric acid. Splashing or boiling the liquids involved will cause the formation of aerosols. In particular, concentrated nitric acid tends to react with things quite vigorously, generating a lot of heat. The process also uses flammable liquids like kerosene and hydrazine.

Some radioisotopes also have compounds that are volatile. Ruthenium, in particular can form Ruthenium Tetroxide which boils at only 40C.

I work at Mudita so I hope you find this information somewhat useful in terms of your concerns.

1. The reason we mention people sensitive to EMF exposure is because after attending the 2019 EMF Conference in California (https://emfconference.com/), one of the major issues those people were facing was that without technology, they completely isolated themselves from their friends and family.

A phone like Mudita Pure, which could be charged by their doctors, psychologists or care givers (in serious cases some people don't use any electricity at home) might mean the difference between being able to keep in touch with people they care about and being completely and utterly alone.

We have tried to approach the subject in a respectful manner, without judgement of those who may be dealing with this. As it's likely I wrote the site copy you're referring to, it was not my intention for it to come across as 'fearmongery'.

I’m thinking otherwise. If the payloads are small, DynamoDB is going to be cheaper and nothing will come close to the savings from Lambda compute.
I think one of the problems with public discourse right now is that we're failing to separate a number of important topics. This problem—the cumulative effect of racial attitudes on the lived experience of black people—deserves to be considered on its own, but is often conflated with police reform and the activity of explicitly racist groups. I think you're right that the best tool to combat this problem specifically is awareness.
I was surprised to see in recent years quite a lot of applications of neutrinos in imagery. E.g. in geology, to visualize the inside of monuments (e.g. pyramids) without opening them, etc.

And yet America managed two world wars just fine.

Speaking from the Netherlands, it seems clear that about 40% of Americans lost their marbles in this grand collective paranoid fantasy starting around Nixon, growing through Reagan, and then really taking off around the end of the W. Bush administration.

They started to believe these terrible and terribly false things about their fellow citizens, about science, about pretty well everything.

And they purchase hundreds of millions of weapons.

I can't see how it will possibly end well.
Yes and no — but my point is that any normal termination would have resulted in the 30-days notice. Yes, under a year-long or worse lease, you'd have to wait until the end of the lease period, but you'd still be serving such a notice.

(And in fact, we were on a year-long lease, and first transitioned it to a month-to-month for the purposes of being able to eventually serve that notice.)

Bank robbers don't rob banks because they enjoy robbing banks. Bullys don't bully because "omg wow have you tried bullying it so great".

I'm all with you that bullying sucks, but if you want bullying to stop, you better damn well understand the motivation. If you reach for "they are just evil people", you're not thinking hard enough.

This is however completely useless goal if you dont add those other requirements like "while staying reasonably healthy and functional".

The people who are trying to gain weight for sport really don't focus on calories. They focus on total amount of protein. They dont want sugar nearly as much and would not replace one with another.
> to something one could be guilty of merely by benefiting from when someone else betrayed the human tribe.

You may not be aware but this is a common alt-right strawman argument opposed to Black Lives Matter. The idea that all white people are vulnerable of being accused of racism simply because of their privilege. It's incorrect, and a strawman of the actual position, which is that silence aids the status quo.

"There comes a time when silence is betrayal."

""First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;"

I absolutely concur with this setup. Power supply and SD Card can make or break your RPi experience. I've been running a Pi 2 for ~5 years in this setup i.e. Sony 2A power + Toshiba SD Card + USB drives for Git (SD card and USB drives encrypted).

It's been used only as a git server 24*7 for substantial amount of code, I reboot it once a year. Using it as a Git server started out as an experiment, but worked out great until the code became large and hung-up occasionally during commit due to CPU/Memory bottleneck (in-spite of adjusting relevant Git flags).

Recently I've started putting it to other usages, so not sure whether the reliability would be the same. My RPi3 needed official power supply and better cooling to extract similar performance/reliability ; Although it officially supports booting via USB I didn't have much luck in getting it work and had to use SD Card for boot and USB SSD as Arch Linux ARM/Btrfs root[1].

Are you talking about the app you're migrating or micronaut?

I'm a go developer that is on a Java team; trying to use a framework that offers a similar experience to building HTTP services that I've seen in Go. Quarkus, micronaut and Spring boot all "look" similar to me; I went through the getting started for Quarkus and it feels pretty fast. Your comment makes me want to stick with it for now.
It's an incredibly powerful pattern, so much so that I'm surprised by how little you see it in the wild. We've also combined it with collaboration functionality so that cards can not only have multiple parents but can have different parents for different users. This aspect might be novel – I don't think I've seen it elsewhere, but obviously it's hard to know due to the sheer number of productivity tools that have existed (as evidenced by you pointing to Lotus Agenda, which I hadn't heard of til today, thanks!)

By 1989 RISC OS was awesome, but by 1995 it lacked the same features as other famous OSs (I will not name the other OS to avoid a flame war).

RISC OS used cooperative multitasking and it lacked virtual memory protection. By 1995 linux or BSD were better platforms. MS released Windows 95 and preemptive multitasking arrived to millions of homes.

I still have a 2002 PACE based RISC OS in the basement. It boots with bootp+NFS. It was part of a kiosk that was replaced by a BSD box. No booting or runtime issues anymore. We even designed a serial watchdog to ensure a reboot if the STB hanged, because riscos hanged even booting. No issues with the BSD.

In my humble opinion by the mid 1990s preemptive multitasking and memory protection was mandatory in a general purpose OS and RISC OS lacked it.

The CDC is an executive agency and therefore under the ultimate control of the presidency. There is no way that this was not orchestrated from the top by an ignorant president. This isn't stupidity. It's malice. Even if the CDC wanted to do better, they can't. They can't provide messaging or testing or anything against the wishes of the white house. Want to force everyone to wear masks? Can't because it'll embarrass the president. What is the point of even having such an institution when all of its actions can be overridden by a mad man determined to only advance his selfish agenda, an agenda that clearly does not include dealing with this virus in any way? The failure of the CDC has been catastrophic, but there's no way things would have turned out this way had they had free reign to implement proper policies based on science.

That depends which humans. We are not one monolithic gene pool. Human diversity means that more recent migrations of humans had less time to adjust to their new climates.

If you compare, say Inuit, Nordic, and native Siberian populations, to subsequent equatorial populations to higher latitudes, if you could find instances of low interbreeding, I wonder if we'd see certain genetic adaptations missing.
CA/B isn't a cartel, indeed it jumps through a bunch of hoops to ensure it isn't a cartel. Cartels are illegal in many countries (the one you're most likely thinking of right now, OPEC, doesn't need to care that cartels are illegal because its members are sovereign entities, and thus they decide what the law is)

Moreover, this didn't come from CA/B anyway, it was rejected there. CA/B agreed the previous 825 day limit, and the 39 month limit before that, but this new rule did not get support at CA/B so Apple imposed it unilaterally (and with some really poor communication but whatever).

Google and Mozilla have just decided that since they wanted this limit, and Apple has effectively imposed it anyway, they might as well go along for the ride.
Is this malicious? I'm honestly curious, as I don't have much experience still in the field. my answer to OPs question is NO , but I'd like to grow.

You were pre-conditioned to believe that it's a feature. Traditionally, datacenter itself is supposed to provide HA for both the power and the network.

"Availability zones" exist for AWS convenience, not for yours. It allows for cheaper and simpler DC ops, removes the need for redundant generators, simplifies network design, and makes "under-cloud" maintenance easier. It's a feature for them, a headache for you, and a (brilliantly addressed) challenge for AWS product marketing.

Indeed, big colliders are like the Space Shuttle of science.

The STS was an unmitigated disaster for everything associated with getting space-related things done. It sucked up all the money and gave net nothing back.

A big collider will be good at soaking up budget with not much detail oversight needed, but will not deliver new insight. For that you need one a hundred times bigger, say straddling the moon. Which we would be better-equipped to build today, if not for the Space Shuttle.

You're probably right that my statement about "indirect" applications was a bit strong. I agree that there are numerous applications some fairly direct (like medical physics) and some very indirect (like the WWW) that have come out of work in particle physics.

But I think my main point, that applications of particle physics itself (and not the human and technological advances made to support it) are essentially non-existent stands.
There is a key bit in this article that isn't expanded upon. It's something I only learned about after spending hundreds of hours controlling invasives and talking to other people.

Plants that are considered noxious weeds and plants that are harmful to our natural environment are pretty different things.

If you look at who has authority under the Federal Noxious Weed Act, you'll see it is the department of agriculture. They really don't care about natural areas much at all, they only care about how much agriculture you can get out of a piece of land. If a plant impacts this, it is considered noxious.

A prime example of this is the USDA noxious weeds list for my state, https://plants.usda.gov/java/noxious?rptType=State&statefips...

It doesn't even include truly heinous invasives like Privet, japanese/amur honeysuckle, or garlic mustard, but DOES include a couple of natives like grape vines and butterweed!!

It's pretty disheartening, because a lot of people don't realize this and it can cause some issues. I am friends with someone at a local nature center where they remove butterweed due to it being considered a noxious weed even though it is not at all invasive and is a native wildflower.
Humanity loses so much potential when discouraged by people that don't have an eye for the future.

This reminds me of all the people that think we should stop all nuclear energy research because we have Wind, Solar, and Hydro.

What if I want energy somewhere where those things are in short supply / don't exist at all (say, space?).

Ok I'm in favor of shorter cert times but one hour is ridiculous. If you need a key pair for that amount of time generate an ephemeral one! The cert can be valid for months and still be secure.
But it also makes it a little harder for the user to do what they want too because they have to click through a (correctly) scary-looking security warning.
I worked at a company where we did this. It was indeed fun, and we learned some things about our system that showed up some security issues. It also made everyone think more about what a curious attacker could do in a short amount of time.
This is one person's opinion vs. many other physicists in favour of building it.

Building it serves two purposes: if either demonstrates that there's no new physics (within easy reach), or there is new physics. Both will trigger research for decades, regardless.

I am not very technical. I don’t get it. Can someone explain in fairly simple terms how it works?
IMO it should be clear from the top of a for loop how many iterations it will run. A goto randomly inside the loop is akin to a side effect in a function. Sure it might be the easiest solution you can think of, and might even generate optimal code, but it's less readable and forces future maintainers to exert more effort to understand the code.
Case in point, when I’ve been in the Carolinas all the kudzu patches I’ve seen have been covering trees that were already growing. The trees were dying.

Let's get all the records from 2020-06-28T10:00:00.000Z to 2020-06-29T09:59:59.999Z and sum the quantity field. Or anywhere you would want to group_by. Or anywhere you might use something like an RDD that partitions the data to compute something for each chunk of data (in parallel) (also after a group_by).

Also, sparse vectors. You don't have a value to store for each index so you use a BTreeMap. I've done this using sentinel values in an array, but that's gross depending on how sparse and how large the vector is.

In Python I would just use a Dataframe (pandas), but in Rust I would use BTreeMap. I wouldn't wish for all languages to have a dataframe type in them since they're such complicated beasts with tricky APIs (pandas and R are such acquired tastes) so I think people can get quite far with B(+)Trees. So that's what I wish was in every stdlib.
