There are loads of foxes and bats in big cities in Germany already. There are tons of insects as well.

Humans are already not allowed to build anywhere because of environmental regulations (unless you are a corrupt politician) and to keep the rents high.

Germany is getting more and more ridiculous. People must use energy saving bulbs to increase the profit for Philips, but one can legally burn 100l of fuel per day in a car.

Noise laws are lagging behind but insects need to be protected.

Everyone who is quasi-technical should be using uMatrix. I'm a privacy nut, but I don't think you even have to be much of one to appreciate the value that something like uMatrix provides.

On the other hand, everyone keeps saying that it speeds up their browsing experience, but anecdotally, I'm not sure I experience the same thing.

I do have a couple of other addons that are likely clouding this judgment. Not to mention my specific machine, network connection, sites I typically browse, etc, etc.

But is it possible that processing the requests for things to strip, and then updating uMatrix's UI elements is causing more overhead than just letting the assets load (which may even be cached)?

Not to mention that if I do encounter a broken site and I decide to try to make it work, I end up refreshing it 5 or so times before getting it minimally functional. The time spent doing that surely outweighs the time of just letting it load.

But I'm not saying to abandon uMatrix. Just that I use it for privacy, not performance or convenience.

Mencius vs. AllConcur
Hi all,

Just wanted to ask if any one has had any thoughts on the similarities and differences between the Mencius and AllConcur consensus protocols?

At first glance these algorithms are presented very differently but I have a gut feeling that there are many connections between the two. My reason for thinking this is that they both seem to use a mechanism for reducing the number of messages each process handles as well as another mechanism for quick termination of instances based on failure detection. For Mencius is achieved by allowing no-op values for instances of consensus to be learnt without a quorum (majority) and by giving each process ownership of some subset of instances that only they can propose non-no-op values to. The other processes can only propose no-ops to instances they don't own when they suspect the owner has failed. Meanwhile in AllConcur each process appears to attempt to maintain a graph of the path each message takes. From my understanding when enough of the servers are known to have a message, a process can consider there to be consensus on that message. Otherwise if enough suspicions of a failure is received then a process can disregard certain messages from that suspected failed process.

Any clarifications on the operation of these two algorithms or takes on their relation to one another would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
That’s not really “more than”, is it? You need to weigh the size of the benefit with the amount of convenience.
> Both of those are mostly examples of errors made during engineering (apply Hanlon's razor when in doubt - it's not always malice like people often assume), and might be preventable if there were more different samples and interactions available during development.

When I see these types of examples brought up, I don't see malice being assumed. Rather, these are good illustrations of structural bias. "Structural" (or "systemic") is often used in contrast to overt bigotry or malice. It's sometimes the result of a certain workforce or industry being substantially skewed with respect to the wider population. You're right, Hanlon and his razor do work here to show that it's a naive error rather than intentional harm. But the result is still traceable to the disparities between the designers and the population at large.

As for the soap dispenser: If the team of engineers designing the module had a mix of skin colors, then they would have quickly seen that their product failed sometimes. They would, at the outset, have known that they needed to tune the photoreceptor better, or switch to a different method of detection.

Though it is funny that Nikon, a Japanese company, made cameras with an blink detector that falsely triggered on Asian eyes. That either refutes my own point above, or it indicates they imported that functionality.
Wow.

If I had to wager money, I'd say it was a blight introduced by another insect. Around the same year I saw an invasion of Asian lady bugs, the firefly memories stop. There were literally millions and millions of those Asian lady bugs released or hatched one year.

The problem is they destroy the original data.

If they want rawdata="01/02" to display as "Jan-02" (or whatever), that's annoying but I can fix it. But they also delete the raw data and replace it with "43862". Reformatting cannot fix that and it is Excel that has chosen to actively break it.

They're not even self consistent with this: If I carefully make sure the data is correct (use "'01/02"), then save as csv and load the same file, it breaks. What sort of program can't save\load without losing data!?

That's without touching why they need to interfere or whether the US standard is the correct one to use or that fact excel is no where near this aggressive with any other data format.

Properly mixed ANFO doesn't contain a huge amount of FO; ideally it's supposed to be 6% by mass. Good enough for a quick HN estimate, although I'd hope an actual after action report does better. A better calculation is that 2750 tonnes of AN would yield 2864 tonnes of ANFO, which is 2,291 tonnes of TNT equivalent.

However, we know that the explosion wasn't stoichiometrically perfect, because of the brown NO2 clouds that were hanging over Beirut. Properly mixed ANFO should release only H2O, CO2, and N2. So we know that there was some level of explosive power that wasn't fully consumed. This is why I put the ANFO yield as the absolute theoretical max, I think in reality the actual yield was much much lower.

Some other people have speculated that the fireworks like mini explosions between the first and second big explosions was actually ammonium nitrate decomposing, which would imply that this was a pure ammonium nitrate explosion and not one accelerated by some sort of oil or other fuel. If that's true, various manufacturers give the AN to TNT equivalent of poorly handled AN at 15-40% of TNT, giving a yield somewhere in the 412-1,100 tonne range.

Not just social movements; I sat in a free career webinar and they posted a Google Sheet link in the chat for all the participants to share LinkedIn profile links.

I sat there thinking "I can't believe there isn't a better option for this sort of thing." Kind of surprised Zoom does not have a native feature for meeting participants to share contact info with each other during the meeting.
The "thousands" of SELF-REPORTED long haulers.

Can you show us any evidence of this happening to "thousands" of people besides the article in the Atlantic? The article that only speculates that there are thousands?

AFIAK the Atlantic article said there were thousands in a Facebook group but the Atlantic did not dig into how many in the group had symptoms or were just there for support.

Besides 1 off "dog bites man" stories the Atlantic article I see little reason to continue to suppress regular day to day life for something like this.

You and others can howl all you want but the reality is the numbers are not on your side. The EMOTIONAL argument is on your side ("think about the children!") but you have almost no imperial evidence and continuing this lifestyle due to what possibly might happen or what happen to less than one one hundredth of a percent of the population is pure madness.

Suppress the many to save the the .00001% from long term complications. Pure, weapons grade insanity.

I would say the number of biologists who actually understand programming is extremely small. I've been programming for fun for ~15 years, and I'm about to finish a PhD in chemical biology (e.g. I started programming in C far before I started learning biology).

You might occasionally run into someone who is passable - at best - with R or Python. But most of the code they might write is going to be extremely linear, and I doubt they understand software architecture or control flow at all.

I don't know any biologists who program for fun like me (currently writing a compiler in Rust).

You can't compare landmass versus landmass but only the behaviour of people in different places. It makes no difference if you live in a big city in China or in the middle of nowhere in the US on how big a polluter you are when driving your car. The same car is the same car everywhere. It is the same earth we are all on and we share the same air so how much uninhabited land there are is completely irrelevant. Borders doesn't contain pollution. So yes, driving a big SUV is most definitely a sign of not caring about pollution and not "but X is different than Y". Even those who "need a big 4x4" mostly don't. A small 4x4 is often way better in terrain while polluting less.

Speaking of the lady bug explosion, this year they are incredibly rare [2]. Not sure why, but they went from being a massive nuisance to being a very rare sight (of any variety).

Humans are absolutely having a calamitous effect on insect life in a variety of dimensions, however on the flip side it does seem like insect populations massively fluctuate for entirely natural reasons. A bit of an early summer, or more rain in April, etc, and one insect type explodes and another wanes.
