> Paramedics were called and injected McClain with ketamine, but they incorrectly estimated his weight, giving him more than 1.5 times the dose he should have received. He got 500 milligrams because they thought he weighed 220 pounds, but he was only 140 pounds and should have received 315 milligrams.

That’s 7.9mg/kg, not nearly enough ketamine to cause cardiac arrest in someone that size. LD50 in humans is at least 5-10x that.

Those officers that had him in a chokehold killed him, and are trying to scapegoat the EMS.

There is a name for this behavior: a lynching.

Erica Marrero, Kyle Dittrich, Jason Rosenblatt, and Jaron Jones, white cops, murdered an unarmed black man.

The entirety of the consequences they suffered? They lost their jobs. The police who declined to enforce the law against them are complicit.

Abolish the police.
Arguably Apple should have nothing to do with this. Someone buys a phone from Apple, and now owns that phone. He wants to use his property to run some software. What should Apple have to do with this decision any more than Chevy should tell me what neighborhoods I should drive my car into?
Maybe it's just chronological order. Though the absorbent plastic gel in a disposable diaper should be first, then.
To be honest, this sounds more like a >/dev/null solution to me. The underlying issue is that debian packages are out of date, and that the repos (ppas) containing them are heavily unmaintained up to the point were decades old libraries are required even when upstream has moved on.

Why not go with the approach to try and fix it upstream where it belongs instead of maintaining a set of fixers downstream - which will likely not work anymore in the forseeable future?

I mean, if you start building an auto-fixer pipeline for an auto-linted error... then is that error actually valid in the first place? Probably not.

The reason why a lot of developers these days have moved to Arch's/AUR's ecosystem is not the amount of available packages (they probably are around the same) - It's integration of packaging with upstream.

Every time a package upstream is out-of-date or not working, you'll likely find an Arch user trying to fix it with a pull request in the git repos.

The debian janitor should've tried to automate pull requests rather than trying to automate self-hosted fixes downstream without letting upstream even know that their packages are wrongly formatted.

But that's just my two cents, maintained a lot of PPAs in the past for both Debian and Ubuntu and have moved on to Arch/Manjaro, because I ain't got no time for that anymore.

I wasn't talking about mobile, although given that article is about mobile, my bad I didn't clarify.

I meant about wired Internet access. Running 10 wires to your house to have access to 10 ISPs is expensive and it's also a nightmare for the city. It is extremely wasteful because most people will only use one of them at the time.

That's why requirement to lease is essential (ideally it should be a different entity that does this, like it's typically done in data centers). Currently the incumbents won't lease, because that will open door to competition, so this needs to be mandated.

Going back to mobile providers, actually I believe they are under Title II and this is mandated. Though, because wireless bandwidth is limited, they are in their right to prioritize their own consumers. So if you use providers that lease other towers usually your coverage is worse than if you were direct consumer, but at least it is possible, unlike wired ISPs.

There seems to be two camps amongst my tech friends when it comes to block chain. The first thinks it's going to change the world and are fully invested in the whole block chain ecosystem, from Bitcoin to Decentralized Finance systems, Identity etc.... Most of them got into Bitcoin early and made some money and have been chasing that success ever since.

The second camp believes that block chain is cool technically but has very little real world use. I'm in the second camp.

The tricky part about this is that every new technology looks this way at first - cool but of limited utility - until it's not. I think at this point tho that block chain has had it's chance to be useful and has mostly failed.
A nuclear powered probe could catch it assuming of course that it continues on a passive trajectory and doesn't change course. Obviously the longer we wait the harder it will get though.
This is rough, and honestly the only hope is probably something like starlink. They’re not going to invest in 5g in places where 3g isn’t even profitable.

It’s a shame that there’s not “right to use” in the 900mhz or other cell frequencies if no spectrum usage exists in the area. It seems a few people could put together a small, internet-only cell provider.
I wish this game launched with xCloud. I understand that simulation enthusiast won't be interested in that but for many people like me who don't want to worry about streaming and storing all that world data, as well as people not having enough resources to run the game it would be the perfect opportunity to try game streaming.

I'm gonna be honest, some years ago morbid curiosity lead me to visit the most prominent incel forum - this was before "incel" simply became the alias for "angry misogynistic males".

The forum regulars were mostly self-proclaimed incels. They'd analyze "chads" to the most microscopic detail, and draw conclusions - to them, if there was a correlation, then that implied causation, because in the end, they were desperately looking for answers which they had no control over.

Things they could change, such as social skills, attire, and what not were usually the laughing stock. No way were women interested in any of those aspects - women were, in their eyes, attracted to some male because his inherent facial features - again, often to the microscopic details.

These guys were obsessed with the immutable (or near immutable), and would daydream about spending hundreds of thousands to alter their faces and bodies, to meet their own perceived beauty standards - which was always a beauty typical to masculine male models.

But, yes, it became too much. These guys would practically do nothing but post sob stories, detailed analysis of male faces, and rants on women. It became one nasty echo-chamber where top posters were just feeding each others misery.

If you were an incel, you were so simply because of your genes. There was nothing that could be done, other than very expensive and extensive surgeries.

And then you had the extremists. Those that would idolize mass murderers, perceived or self-confessed incels. They'd start catfishing girls on dating apps, stalk people, all that. It was extremely toxic.

Truly a bizarre, but sad community. I can def. see some normal kids joining just for the laughs, then slowly get normalized and radicalized, starting to both doubt themselves, and believing the propaganda.

Maybe StackOverflow should be decentralized and community governed. Maybe we should be demanding more open hardware. Maybe we do need to re-evaluate who's maintaining our packages and make sure their interests are aligned with community interests. We can vote with our attention and money and what software we choose to run.

Personally, do what you're comfortable with, but you shouldn't mock others for trying to make privacy possible. You never know, some day you might need it.
I consider Block Chain to be analogous to the first Linked-List. It's obviously a powerful and interesting thing, and has useful purposes. But the culture around Block Chain is an entirely different thing, and it's incredibly disconnected from any fundamental usefulness of the chain itself.

Hmm... ECS is for running docker containers.

If they don't work the same on local computer than on ECS perhaps docker failed to deliver what promised?

BTW: I absolutely hate debugging in AWS, it's such a nightmare, docker was the first thing that made thing hard even on premises, but AWS pushed things to 11.

I think the key to sanity if you have to use public cloud is to put extra effort so you discover all bugs locally before you deploy to public cloud. Which probably is not a bad thing.
A nuclear pulse vehicle could catch it easily even if we waited 50 years to launch. Its slow speed is actually the best argument against it really being an active spacecraft because even we could do better. Much better. It could be part of a swarm of millions of low tech ships assembled from local resources though.
And the top comment - that blockchains resist financial censorship - is still extremely insightful. Blockchains are truthful in a way like no other ledger (all of which are ultimately mutable at an individual entities whim). Bank transfers mean 2 transactors, 2 banks and at least one government think the transaction is appropriate. Blockchain cuts most of that out.

This is clearly transformative. Governments are one of the least reliable organisations I deal with. There are few entities more fickle, less reasonable, less governed and more prone to random fits of violence. Having a mechanism to transact online while cutting them out is a big deal. The implications are still unclear but the idea is amazing. I don't think Bitcoin is going to realise this potential but the technology is really quite something.
gold standard was a solution for almost nothing but what it were useful for had transformative for a lot of other things. Blockchain is the same.
Still charging a king's ransom, too. Looking on Amazon right now, the i9-9900K (which reached 32.3 FPS) costs 422.59 USD, compared to R7 3700X (which reached 28.0 FPS), which costs 329.99 USD.

That's a nearly 2:1 ratio for performance/price scaling.

This is awesome! Some background for those not familiar with the space. A BMS is used to keep Lithium Ion batteries charged property.

When building a large Lion battery, you typically do it by stringing a bunch of small ones together. You can do this easily at home. But chaining lithium ion in series is dangerous without a battery controller. Overcharged cells especially.

This limitation has really hampered the DIY solar and EV communities. Solar equipment and EV parts for small vehicles like scooters are readily available. But there's no affordable BMS for using lithium batteries. The cheapest ones are around $1000. That's why this project is so important.

Used lithium ion batteries with plenty of life left are becoming common on the grey market as EV market penetration increases. The battery packs from hybrids are the perfect size for solar backup power in vans and RVs. Tesla packs are also great because they're built subdivided into conveniently sized modules that run about 24V. This is a great voltage for using existing RV power equipment.

The problem is, these battery modules have BMS integrated with the vehicle electronics. They won't work without one, so until now the only option is to pay $1000 for a commercial unit. Since the packs themselves cost less than that, it's not viable to reuse EV batteries.

Automotive batteries are otherwise perfect for solar and RV use. They're about 5 kilowatt hours for hybrid packs and tesla modules. This is enough power that you can throw a bunch of panels on the roof and run your whole RV solar 24/7 in sunny places. Even the AC. Car modules also support extremely high charge/discharge rates. So you can run big stuff like toasters without worrying about damaging the batteries. Tesla EV modules are about 6X lighter than the equivalent traditional RV batteries, and can handle maybe 30X the current. And they're half the cost.

100% solar RV's are finally realistic with used EV cells. Heat pump, AC, induction cooking. You can supply all needs except food and water with solar. An affordable BMS is the last barrier for me to use EV cells, so it looks like I'm going to have a fun project coming up :)

The author of this video is a brilliant guy with a ton of other videos on off grid power.

It's interesting the parallels between us. I'm about 40 and sleep 5-6 hours a night. Never tired during the day, never drink caffeine (ironically, I sometimes drink it in the morning in hopes I'll crash and fall asleep). I do an enormous amount of cardio, on bikes!

It's 1:17am for me. I will be awake for another hour most likely. I'll get up before 8am and ride for a few hours. Never a yawn. It's really fascinating and I have no idea how to explain it.
I've found I trust people less who are staring at the camera, because they are prioritizing building psuedo-webcam empathy over actually looking at and following along with/understanding our shared screen.

I dunno. But at some point you can tell who's faking it. Sort of like someone who read How to Win Friends and Influence People and follows it to the letter- they use your name too often shoehorned into conversations and ask about your dog a little too early and enthusiastically with feigned interest.

Perhaps this is a cynical viewpoint brought on negatively from too many zoom webcam meetings!

Sure!

Apple is a bit of an exception because they created a completely new market -- the smartphone. Japanese companies move slowly, and are hobbled by design-by-committee, so their response to new market entrants is... leisurely.

I'm not sure how that will play out long-term. We'll see where Apple is in twenty years. And Macs are very uncommon, compared to Windows PCs.

SV tech tends to show up at startups, often started by Westerners that have moved here.

That's a common pattern, and if you're in the foreigner bubble, it can be hard to notice.

But in the rest of Japan?

Slack? I'm not sure I actually know any Japanese companies that use it, and the market statistics don't show a lot of grip outside of the US/EU.

Uber Eats is doing well! Especially with COVID-19.

But that's after Uber fell totally flat launching here in Japan. And it remains to be seen if they can hold on to their lead.

It took Uber years of flailing around when they first arrived here, during which they ignored advice like "Japanese taxis are super safe" and "Thumbing your nose at regulators here isn't going to work like it does in the US."

Line totally dominates Japanese instant messaging. It's the WeChat of Japan. Facebook didn't really understand Japanese privacy needs until recently, and I don't see them un-seating Line.

Apple Pay is a second-rate payment system in Japan, and doesn't work if you have a foreign credit card. Japanese banking is... complicated. I once had a gym that outright refused to take my monthly payment on a credit card -- until they realized that my bank and their bank didn't have a "relationship".

Never in the US was I told that, in order to pay for a service, Wells Fargo first needed to take USAA out for dinner and a movie.

Anyhow, Meetup never caught on here, because they didn't understand the market. Gap is around, but they never felt like a major player in the fashion space. None of the education offerings in the US have any traction here.

OpenTable? Nope. You use TableCheck if you want a reservation somewhere.

Overall, I don't see any of the companies on this list[1] having any traction at all here, outside of major players which (a) have invested billions; and (b) took years to understand the local market well enough to adapt their offerings.

And even then... Google still has to to advertise in Japan, and I strongly suspect that Google Maps plays second fiddle to Norikae.

I hope I'm not not regurgitating false information (I'm finding it difficult to find a reputable primary source, since there's a lot of clearly pro-ketamine sites), but I was under the impression that one of the reasons that ketamine has been used both in people and in applications like as a horse tranquilizer is that it's safe dosage range is considerably wide, presenting some margin of error over similar drugs.

Obviously it's more than he should have been given (and tbh am pretty uncomfortable with it being given here at all), but my decidedly non-expert opinion (and the official autopsy statement that the "ketamine in McClain's blood was at 'tolerable levels' ") is that there's all sorts of red flags about this situation.

Because when the feedback loops on his 140lb musculature are blocked and he will keep going to the point of permanent damage... and when his ability to feel pain is decreased... and there's a very real concern for hyperthermia, rhabdomyolysis with an extended struggle, dysrhythmia, then maybe ketamine becomes the better option.

That being said, ketamine should be an EMS decision to minimize risk to patient and others, not "at LE direction".
