There's a plausible story that is told here about spontaneous interactions producing new and interesting ideas, but what I don't know is if there is any actual evidence to believe this is the case. As contrasted to having regular planning meetings over zoom and then mulling over ideas in private (which I find to be a very fruitful way of coming up with solutions to problems, much more than "brainstorming" or whatever in a group)

I'm not talking about social skills. I'm talking about public relations skills. They are different skill sets.

I'm not saying boys have it easy. I'm saying boys generally get expected to have a real career and they are shaped accordingly. Women are generally not expected to have a real career. We are expected to be defined by being a wife and mom. And we get shaped accordingly.

That doesn't mean men have it better. It does mean the topmost positions of power in the world are male dominated and that pattern gets reinforced by the way we teach women to interact with other people and continue to expect them to interact with other people at every step of the way.

The Holy Mountain (La montaña sagrada)(1973) by Alejandro Jodorowsky, is perhaps one of my favorite mind bending movies. It takes awhile before you realize that there is an actual plot, but the last scene is profound.

Tampopo (1985) is perhaps my favorite Japanese movie, all about the beauty of food. A noodle western of sorts that is immensely entertaining.
Another note: there is no such thing as “toxins” in food. Barring things like heavy metals, and actual poison. You won’t see any research about nutrition and food talk about “toxins” in a context like this.

FIPS 140-2 is often used in the private sector as a source of security process inspiration even when there are no legal or contractual requirements to follow it.

Having a good security architecture is not obstruction of justice. Doubly so if the data is still accessible to you after the failsafe is tripped. All you've done is prevent their ability to access the data before informing you of the existence of the warrant, using access mechanisms that - to you - are indistinguishable from an unauthorized access attempts.

> "I did not even know it came with this feature".

A documented threat model and security policy that justifies physical tamper protection and pulls inspiration from FIPS is a much smarter legal strategy than perjury. Consult a lawyer.
Can killing cookies save journalism?
Personally I agree with that statement (for oatly), having tried every alternative milk including cashew nut. If there’s a specific brand you recommend I’m happy to try.
I'll second this. From the original article:

> This is only a piece of the 8086's complex instruction handling. Other latches hold pieces of the instruction indicating register usage and the ALU operation, while a separate circuit controls the microcode engine...

I've always been amazed at how complex the 8086 instruction encoding is, especially compared to, say, the 6502 (which admittedly is a much less sophisticated microprocessor). I especially think this whenever I play around with a toy 8086 emulator I've written. :) It's never struck me as being greatly elegant from a software perspective, but I assume there are some good electrical engineering reasons. (And I'm intrigued about the mention of microcode... I always assumed that came later in the x86 series.)
>I liked chocolate milk because who doesn't, but after someone for the first time pointed out that it's kinda weird for humans to drink milk intended for calves (maybe I was 13 or 14?) I pretty much just stopped drinking it because it just wasn't that good anyway and now I had an excuse. My brother and mother are both lactose intolerant, it turns out.

Is it weird? Weird is completely abstract. Is eating the female component of a chickens reproductive output (aka an egg) weird? Is it weird to harvest oats and then harvest/extract enzymes, digest oats and mix them with processed rapeseed oil so we can avoid drinking cows milk?

At least if you drink -freshly- pasteurised cows milk you know there are fewer moving parts in the process of getting ingredient into your system.

Food wise everything is weird when you look at it under the right setting. Tofu is like the cheese of a soybean. Burgers are random bits of animal ground up flattened and fried. Mushrooms and fungi are weird almost alien growths. Fish are weird and slimy. Prawns are almost like giant insects from the sea.

When I think about attitudes towards food, I find it weirder that when we eat pork but are happy to throw away all the offal, cheeks, neck, knuckle, ears, ribs(!!!) and just keep the chops and some back for bacon because it is "weird" to eat all those other bits. Or with a chicken we eat just the breast and dump the rest. And look at Chinese people as weird for eating chickens feet. At least they don't waste the animals they eat!
Oats have a lot of carbs
People here are just as bad as those on Reddit. The article title is clickbait and the actual content describes alerts that Nest speakers could send you when they detect beeping smoke detectors or breaking glass. The top comment in this thread right now talking about presence detection to disable Netflix account sharing is so frustratingly ignorant. You can have privacy concerns all you want, but the bottom line is that Google has seen that people care about privacy and any funny business would surely tank their reputation.

I don't know who did the analysis on that, but this is easily fixed: Solar farming on top of the vertical farming. This pays for the electricity needs for the lighting, and any excess power pays off the solar panel prices over about 8 years.

I have heard that dentistry and veterinary are the two most depressed vocations because people generally dislike having to visit them, and patient anxiety / pain adversity leads to less positive feedback. Reddit accepts a high level of cynicism which could easily amplify negative or alarmed perceptions. ("Kill it with fire!")

To counter this, a lot of dentists use phrases like "pain free" in their ad collateral, and include all kinds of joyful imagery in their offices.

The only problem I've had with my dentist, and it is such a minor quibble that is hardly worth mentioning (except that it is on-topic), is that after every appointment they try to sign me up for wisdom tooth extraction. I'm over 50 and have never had problems with my wisdoms - even the x-rays show them as being perfectly fine. Maybe harder to reach, but they're still clean and healthy anyway. So I just say "No thanks" and schedule my next appointment.

I think my hygienist has an awesome personality, so I don't give her any flack for trying to bring more money into the clinic.
> An explosion of work created doesn’t mean popularity.

100% agree. I like the indie genre better than pop, though even that's somewhat manufactured by labels as you say.

I recently found some incredibly underrated Zelda remixes that are jaw dropping and have barely been heard at all: https://youtu.be/4r9S2yEiuME

So I agree with your argument.

A new factor in the equation, however, is how much cheaper and less labor intensive it becomes to create new music. If you make it so that anybody can produce vocals, that changes the game for a lot of genres (eg. EDM).

But these techniques won't just be viable on vocals. Everything is going to be easier to create. Melodies, instrumentals, the full stack.

That's going to have a profound effect and definitely rock the boat the incumbents are riding.
I was about to reply that stacks is a new feature, but I googled it and found it's been a feature since 2007. I could have sworn it was announced a year or two ago. Anyone know if there was an improvement announced recently that I seem to be recalling?

Neat! With real writing it’s nice to be able to use the random variations and patterns in writing as landmarks.

I always thought that would be useful on a screen.
Would Harry Potter still have been written if copyright was only 20 years? Is there any book written where the author is thinking "Hmm, copyright. It's not worth it for me to write this where I only get paid for 20 years. But 70 years' royalties? Yeah, that's enough to make it worth the effort."

Does anyone think that way? They shouldn't, because for almost all books, the income past 20 years is zero.

Now, corporations are a bit different, and if you're Disney making a movie, the revenue past 20 years is actually something you consider. Still... would the Avengers movies, say, not get made without 95 year copyright? I doubt it. They made enough money in the first year that they would still have been made even if copyright was quite short.

So I can't buy this argument that "almost-forever" copyright incentivizes creation. I mean, it does, to some degree. But with the current duration, we are ridiculously far past the law of diminishing returns.
This is cool!

According to a fairly recent article (Feb 2020):

> It's a common myth that you can't server side render Web Components. Turns out you can if you look in the right place.

https://dev.to/steveblue/server-side-rendering-web-component...

The article mentions a few libraries for this purpose.

- Vaadin Router - https://vaadin.com/router

- SkateJS - https://skatejs.netlify.app/

- SkateJS: Web component server-side rendering - https://github.com/skatejs/skatejs/tree/master/packages/ssr

This latter looks good, I hadn't seen that before.

As a possible successor to React, Vue, et al, there's a wide range of functionality expected of Web Components. Server-side rendering of shadow DOM (I don't know what that really means, but) seems to be one of the tough questions yet to find a definitive answer.
>> The average number of people who die of influenza in the US is about 35,000.

What Covid-19 made me realise is that there are tens of thousands of lives we could be saving each year by adopting some simple behavioural rules that definitely do not need to harm the economy. For example, stay home when you have flu-like symptoms, don't touch your face, wash your hands thoroughly, sneeze into your elbow or a handkerchief and get rid of it immediately and so on. No need for lockdowns or anything- just keep in the front of peoples' minds the fact that diseases can be carried around, are carried around, by people doing normal people things all together in a big place with lots of people.

In fact, I believe I've seen signs advising such measures to curb the spread of disease around the London Underground and I think also the Paris Metró, but I've always, until now, ignored them. When I had flu-like symptoms I've always soldiered on and went to work because that was expected of me and that's what my coleagues also did- and more than once I actually got sick after noticing someone sick at work [1].

Well, no more. Not for me anyway. I had no idea. But now I do.

[1] And one time I got a real nasty stomach bug after I used the toilets after a coleague who had just recovered from a similar infection. I do always wash my bloody hands after, but it seems he didn't and well, there was one door handle in the loo. Yeeew dude. Yeew.
> creating works they are likely to enjoy

This! This is the future I want to live in and help create.

People are going to have all sorts of media tweaked to their interests. The system will have to be smart enough to introduce novel changes in interest so that it never gets boring, or so that people's interests can be expanded.

If we're careful, we can characterize and destroy the filter bubble while we're at it.
Really enjoyed this piece. Quite poignant and has enough self reflection to conventuals the writers experience without being self indulgent.
The claim isn’t that brakes and tires contribute the most pollutants, but the most particulate pollutants.

Specifically, PM10, hard particles below 10 micrometers. CO2, Nox, etc from a car are hot gasses which expand relatively quickly, so dumping kilograms and kilograms of them is required to raise ambient air measurements above unsafe zones (measured in ppbs usually, see [0] for the EPA standards for NOx, PM, lead, etc).

Particulate matter, being solid, doesn’t spread as quickly as gasses. Small enough particulate emissions can be ingested into the lungs, and from there into the bloodstream. Once there, they can scrape blood vessels, eventually leading to plague and various heart conditions. Very trace amounts of PM10, and specifically smaller PM2.5 that can slip through the lungs easier, can have terrible health outcomes. In the EPA standards I linked, ug/m^3 is roughly equal to ppb, so the standard for PM2.5 is about 1/5 the level of NO2.

ICE engines generally only develop PM10 particles from insufficiently high temp combustion. For modern cars it isn’t absurd to suspect that brakes and tires produce more PM10. Here’s a summary of research done on the matter [1].

If you live in Europe, the US, or Canada, indoor and outdoor PM2.5 emissions will shave a few months off lifespans. China’s lifespans may be cut by as much as 5 years from particulate matter. [2] (not a scholarly source but links to them)

I agree that the uncertainty over whether works are actually copyrighted is a major concern, and one that I wish we could fix independent of the issue of copyright duration.

However, concentration of valuable IP in the hands of the few is also a problem. Limited duration copyright provides the greatest benefit to individual authors (by maximizing their bargaining power while limiting the bargaining power of IP-hoarders through erosion) and the public domain.

The quest to liberate $300k of Bitcoin from an old ZIP file
Good to know. My 25% numbers were from an announcement by Cuomo where the report claimed that the sample collection and data processing (corrections) were statistically sound.

Even at 14% seropositivity the true number of people that had the virus is likely larger. There are reports that some (many?) people that recover do so without needed antibodies.

Working backwards, taking the fairly accepted value of 0.6% fatality rate, the 30K deaths in NYC would indicate around 5 million infections. Now the the NYC fatality rate is likely higher due to Cuomo's mind boggling order regarding nursing homes.

Regardless I think it is fair to estimate that the true number of cases in NYC is likely to fall between the reported 400k and the upper limit of 5 million. At 25% seropositivity would be around 2 million, to me sounds believable.

And the reasons people ask for citations is what you are saying is very misleading. The CDC estimates that 45% of US Adults fall into these increased risk categories. So no, it's not just people fighting off cancer it's almost half the country.

Rates increased by age, from 19.8% for persons 18–29 years of age to 80.7% for persons >80 years of age, and varied by state, race/ethnicity, health insurance status, and employment.

What is it bound to? This reminds me of anaphoric macros in Lisp.

(If you don't know what that means, it's just a fancy name for automatically binding the variable "it" to some expression, which makes for lighter code in simple situations. Usually these are combined with some other operation like a boolean test, so they save you two lines of code instead of one. Some people hate them, but let's not go there.)
