I'm also wondering this. I got sick with a stomach bug a few months ago (not covid) and since then i have a tremendous amount of gas (from both ends). It starts about 5min after i start eating and gradually gets less as the hours go on until i eat again, although it picks up again when i haven't eaten anything in a while too. I can't figure it out. I haven't changed my diet at all from before and after i got stick to start it. I've tried cutting out dairy and also just going straight fruits and veggies with at least a week between each change but no luck. I also tried going on a probiotic diet for a while to try and cycle through and replenish good bacteria. I'm noticeably tired too which is probably because i'm not properly digesting the food to get the required energy from it.
Ah, well. I think I can make this circular. It is perhaps exploitative to demand these laws. It's unfair treatment of Uber/Lyft employees to imposing regulatory regimes against their wishes (claiming it actually benefits them) to satisfy the political benefits/desires of an outside group. Society should not allow that exploitation to exist whether or not the outside group realizes it is exploitation.
While I upvoted your native insight regarding present-day language and I agree that the name is stupid, I can nitpickingly Ctrl+F "дроворуб", explained already in the 19th century as an obsolete or Siberian word, in the "ДРОВА" entry of Dahl's dictionary: http://slovardalja.net/word.php?wordid=7571
I have an FFC version of that product and it works very well. Whatever data rate reduction I might see from the additional length is overtaken in a really big way by my ability to use full-size SD cards instead of the micro-SD card slots my development boards usually come with.

You definitely don't need a shielded cable. SD is very robust. Hell, I've seen people run SPI or I2C over similar lengths and types of cable and those two protocols are much less robust than SD.
The biggest issue I run into when investigating something like this is the community centric lingo. Go over to any one of the forums around a specific topic - you'll spend days just attempting to figure the language. I'm still attempting to decipher all the android rooting/flashing terms the community uses over on the XDA forum.
There are lots of people who fit the description of "a Palantir shareholder", and of course faking a screenshot is trivial. What has TechCrunch done to confirm the reliability of their source or otherwise verify the leak?

I think there's a chance I started using that term when I read some thing written him or another commentator years ago, which caused me to research the history of the organization.
Another advantage of digital is search. Not that I use it regularly, but it can be useful in the future.

In defense of paper, I can say that with OCR technologies developing more and more in the future it will be no problem to move all hand written notes to a digital system.

It is very disturbing that Nucleus ignored and stiffed the security researcher who pointed out their obvious issue with AWS keys. They should not expect cooperation from the security community in the future and I hope this will have a severe impact on their ability to attract and retain customers.

> Probably the worst part was that the expectation was that always had one eye on Slack instead of, you know, focusing on programming

Haha, yes, my job is exactly like this. If I turn off Slack for an hour to write some code, I get a lot of angry emails from management about why I'm OoO without notice.

Co-workers love to complain to management if you don't respond to them immediately as well. One guy slacked me 6 times in the morning asking for help, I gave him a clear next step of adding a certain formatted section at the bottom of his spec for legal to review privacy concerns, then he never even did that work and Slacked me 13 more times that day which I ignored to get some work done, and management went ape shit.

Now I just double all my coding estimates because I know my real job is to be on Slack 8-5 answering questions.
Why we decided against GraphQL for local state management
This is a big problem and not just in neuroscience. Reproducible science is inherently hard and there aren't a lot of great tools that make it easy. The key to solving it is having a way to track data lineage and a reproducible way to run the processing. I've been building a system that implements those ideas for the past several years called Pachyderm [0]. We've helped many scientists across different fields run their pipelines in a reproducible way. If you're suffering from this problem we'd love to chat with you.

What it has to do with Slack and every other social media platform is that (vs. break-room trash-talk) it magnifies the harassment - it's instantly amplified, spread more broadly, and is more durable.

It also reduces the dampening influences of people's emotional responses in meatspace.

Slack may or may not be better/worse than FB, Twitter, etc. in this regard, but all can definitely magnify divisions in any group of people, from a clique to a nation.

It is just the dark side of reducing the communication friction that helps people work together better (kind of like a hammer is better than a rock for both setting nails and breaking skulls).
Ask HN: Distributed Bootstrapping?
Maybe this won't work and you can tell me why, but...

Would it be possible to launch a bootstrapped start-up using a crowdfunding model where the first N employees sign on to contributed $X in exchange for Y% equity, such that sum_N(XY/100) is the needed capitalization? $X might be at least $S/mo M months, where M is the amount of runway needed, and $S/mo is an employee's salary.

The logistics might be challenging (the more employees you need, the longer it will take to sign everyone on). Also, finding folks who are in need of a job but also willing to invest upfront might narrow the pool significantly.

The reason for proposing this was that the initial N employees have the same incentives as cofounders.

For me, yes. The label pasture raised could still imply corn finished (and a feedlot or CAFO). Knowing the farmer, seeing the fields, and building a relationship with them holds emotional value to me.

It cuts out the middle man too -- my money is going to a local farmer and a local butcher, I can specify exactly which cuts I want, how I want them prepared, etc.
Is each of us? Is the truth that it depends on context? You're about 10% human by cell count but 97% human by weight, as am I. The microflora and microfauna of the gut, mouth, and skin are amazingly deep topics we as a species have so far only shallowly investigated.

On another level and somewhat figuatively, is the Internet a society of its own or simply a bridge among societies? Is it a bunch of communities (definitely yes at some level) or one big community with several sub-communities and cliques? Is it a culture, a subculture, a counterculture, a blending of cultures, a point of contact between distinct cultures? Yes, it's all that, and in certain contexts more one than another.

I grew up in a small town in the Lafayette area and I concur with all of your points. I would also add that traditional Cajun food is poor man's food. They're made from low cost ingredients. In some cases, there could be some no-cost ingredients (e.g., if neighbor gives you fresh ducks from their morning hunt).

Probably one of the most divisive ingredients for gumbo is okra. Some will tell you that it's not a real gumbo if it doesn't have okra. The other camp won't eat it if it does contain okra.

On the use of file, I could probably count on 1 hand the number of times I've seen it used. Everyone knows about it, but I've never witnessed it being commonly used.

The two biggest challenges (IMO) of gumbo are the roux (making it without burning/scorching it, in which case you have to throw it out and start over) and the sausage. My family stopped making roux decades ago. They all buy pre-made roux. You can buy it with and without oil. I prefer using the roux without the oil because the jar doesn't need to be refrigerated after opening and it doesn't spoil (plus it's healthier). My family always has used smoked sausage for all gumbo (whether it's chicken, seafood, duck, etc.). Finding fresh smoked sausage to impart the desired flavor is very difficult. The very best (IMO) is the smoked sausage made by Teet's Food Store in Ville Platte.

I'll add on to your comment about the slow cooking. Not only the food should be cooked slow, but the chef should not be in a hurry. In my experience, my best gumbo and jambalaya comes from having plenty of time to cook it at a leisurely pace. Also, my jambalaya is only cooked in big cast iron pots. One of my Cajun cookbooks gives the admonition "Qui va doucettement va surement" (He who goes slowly goes surely).

Dang it, now I'm craving some.

I doubt town and village are used consistently in the Anglosphere either. They tend to be used fairly consistently in New England (though I can think of exceptions) where it's not so much about absolute size but whether they have a town government or are part of a larger entity.
I just had an idea: to install an extension require authentication by a one time random password, show the password in a modal window without ability to copy, the user will have to remember the password and type it into a field. The password length is equal to the number of installed extensions, so to install 50th extension, you need to type 50 character password.
Holy shit... anyone reading that doesn't understand, follow that link and follow along. That was... terrifying when you think of the ramifications. What's more interesting with glasses, my blindspot is larger than without my glasses.

I come from a town of (then) about 350 people in California. After living in Europe for a while I started calling it a village. Americans always look at me funny... but there's a town of 3,000 nearby that calls itself a "small town" and the town next to that, with 13,000, also calls itself a "small town," so how are we supposed to differentiate?

So hunch is that some people think of "town" as covering anything from 1-250,000 people (arbitrary upper bound mine) and think "village" is something foreigners have instead of towns.

That said, it's absurd to call Wuppertal a village, the pictures are obviously not of a village, and Schweben is not Fliegen! :-)
The contrast is a problem of eink screens. There is not much besides grayscale. That is why even if it's 1080 it looks like crap compared to an LCD at 720.
Exactly! We think ourselves as a single thing but we're more like a megalopolis inhabited mostly by bacteria with infrastructure provided by a clone army.

Of course in our dystopian internal society any unsanctioned individuality is quashed by the militarised police... unless of course it isn't at which point it metastatizes and everyone dies.

(The question about shared DNA is really interesting - so much of our individual drive for survival is a result of our K-strategist genetics and the resultant selection pressures over the years. If we spawned like octopi or grew from spores like orks, how much different would our worldview be?)
Yeah. I did find that with lots of friends it's possible to split an animal. I generally keep half of the beef and coordinate friends to split the other half. It definitely takes some time, which is a privilege in itself, but it's definitely possible to get a group of families together to group buy.

Say you're the president of Elbonia, and you get a report that an unidentified aircraft is in your airspace.

Without a human pilot in a fast jet, how do you get up there to take a closer look at the situation to decide what to do?

Modern warfare is limited in nature, with rules of engagement, etc.

Iran just shot down an airliner because they had poor ROE and control of their systems.

Just because something looks like a threat on sensors does not mean it is a threat. It could be that natural phenomena are masking things. It could be a ruse, such as an adversary is disguising a civilian aircraft to look military, or vice versa.

This result with dogfighting is interesting, but is only a very small part of what fast jets are useful for.
This is clearly not ideal and reflects poorly on Adobe's QA process but this is about items that are not backed up. Of course most of these users probably had their iOS device "backed up" to Apple's servers but this backup is just replication. It helps if you lose your phone, but it doesn't help if an app has a bug or you make a mistake.

It would be very cool of Apple or Google device backups supported a point-in-time restore. (Ideally a per-app point-in-time restore).

No you don't understand, they didn't use that money, they used different money! Nevermind that money is fungible.

Unless they set money in the budget every year for "Ransomware Insurance Shortfall" this is 100% "tuition, grant, donation, state or taxpayer funds" at some point in the chain.
Null does not pertain to primitive types in java and in C - it'd be zero when applied to a 'double'. (note: you want double[] as backing storage in java and you absolutely do not indirections). Aside that I have quite a good idea how NaN is represented internally and what it does, e.g. you can have several different NaNs that have different representation bitwise. Baring that - NaNs are pretty decent to represent lack of value as all operations with them result into a NaN. In the end NaN is just a composition of bits that the hardware can optimize for.

Yes, and democracy hurts the top aristocrats. But we don't tend to view antidemocratic aristocrats very kindly, even if maintaining antidemocratic systems are good for them.

Some people experience less optimal outcomes in a union. Those people are free to resist unionization. What I don't like is the claim that, because some specific high performers can no longer negotiate as well, everybody else should shut up about unionization.
As I recall there are some important differences between LPC and LambdaMOO. More philosophical differences showing the background of the people who worked on them. Original LambdaMOO inspiration from the TinyM* world (if I vaguely recall Stephen White aka ghond the original MOO author came out of that community) plus was worked on by some Lisp and Smalltalk/Self inspired people (Pavel Curtis the maintainer worked at Xerox PARC and one of the key authors/wizard yduJ/Judy had some Lisp background if I recall) -- while the background with LPMUD was more RPG/gaming oriented.

LPMUD/LPC worked on editing class files and compiling them, while in LambdaMOO you edited your objects and verbs right in the environment. LambdaMOO had an object database and code was part of the database, while in LPMUD the code itself was in a separate filesystem. As an analogy: LambdaMOO was more like Smalltalk (live editing objects inside an image/object database) while LPMUD was more like editing a filesystem you dynamically recompiled. Now I believe LPMUD had an editor etc. right in the environment but you were editing a filesystem, not the objects themselves.

LambdaMOO was prototype oriented not class-based, so encouraged a lot more one-off authoring without messing up class hierarchies and the like. You could just dynamically throw together a new thing by parenting from an old thing and adding methods and props right on it and then later you could formalize that into something other people could use. Or not.

If I recall LPC didn't have the same kind of granular permissions system that MOO did and so there was more restrictions on who was allowed to program and who not. There was little risk in giving a MOO user a "programmer bit" on LambdaMOO as the environment was very sandboxed and capable of handling lots of amateurish programmers without stepping on each other. "Wizards" had the ability to modify shared common prototypes, but people who were "just" programmers could run off and create their own things and other people could borrow from them, etc. I suspect most LambdaMOO users ended up as programmers.

I think the LPMUD model makes more sense for building a game and iterating on it. LambdaMOO was about a shared authoring environment where people built things all day long (and chatted) rather than played a game.

Finally, LPC (or dialects of it...) I believe executed quite a bit faster than LambdaMOO. So much so that I believe at one point some people I knew of actually wrote a LambdaMOO compiler/environment in LPC -- maybe the DGD driver? -- and it outperformed LambdaMOO itself.
In 1999 the Schwebebahn had the first fatal accident when a train ran into a claw that was fixed to the rail by a repair crew and was forgotten to be removed again.

It was considered to be so safe that when someone reported the accident, the personnel at the emergency central didn't take them seriously first.

I wish university PR teams will stop peddling "cutting edge" science to the masses. I know people in the field know that fmri is problematic, but when the masses don't.
We need to stop confusing the public with PR pieces and silly Ted talks. The public are not idiots, they just end up not trusting science, and rightly so because they are exposed to it mainly through half assed puff pieces that peddles half baked science. This ends up as an incoherent and wrong narrative. Thus causing mistrust.

There have been large problems with fMRI studies for a long time, even leaving aside the potentially sketchy coupling between the BOLD signal and actual neural activity and the difficulties accounting for movement artifact.

This paper published in 2016 suggests that commonly used statistical packages for analysis of fMRI data can have a false discovery rate of up to 70%: https://www.pnas.org/content/113/28/7900

statements like this really need to be put into context. Maybe that's true for his games, but it's not necessarily true for all games. His latest game, The Witness, is a first-person puzzle game with zero non-player characters, no kinematics, and a variety of puzzles based around light and rendering. He designs games that don't have much to simulate and do have complicated rendering situations.

Thinking about it more, trying to recall conversations with my father and actually reading the story I linked above, I feel that the difference between drovosek and drovorub is that drovosek's job is in the beginning of the process of turning trees into firewood, and drovorub is in the end. So drovosek turns trees into the firewood, and drovorub makes firewood into a proper size.
Unions have largely been crushed in the US so if you keep asking for more examples eventually things will run dry.

yeah, roxen the company missed a window of opportunity there to promote pike when they hired the wrong type of management and fired hubbe, pikes creator. but i don't want to get into politics.

what's your trouble with installing pike? i have pike running on most of my machines and don't remember any serious issues. i do install from source usually though.

i am not using roxen but a different platform also written in pike called sTeam or open-steam, which incidently is a web development and object storage platform designed like a MUD.
How many incoming bombs, cruise missiles, and other threats can a modern SAM system engage at once? According to wikipedia, a SA-20 carries 4 missiles per TEL, and each command vehicle can control up to 12 TELs. That gives the command vehicle 48 missiles to play with. There is a 0.7 chance of intercepting a "tactical ballistic missile," which is the equivalent to a SCUD, and is probably the easiest thing to intercept. If you fire two missiles at each TBM, you have about a 91% chance of intercepting each missile, meaning you only need to fire 7 TBMs at a site in order to have a fifty chance of one of the missiles making it through, if they fire two missiles at each one. In the meantime, the SAM sight has expended 14 very expensive surface to air missiles. BTW, the .7 figure is likely under favorable conditions, which most battlefields would not be, as there would be jamming, decoys, cyber attacks, and lots of other clutter. This is also for ballistic missiles. Terrain following cruise missiles and precision guided munitions would likely be more difficult to target. [1]

In modern warfare, the offense still has the advantage, if you don't run out of ammunition.
