The deep question:

> In the market for electronically traded equities, we require exchanges to provide traders with fair access to data and speed, we identify and manage intermediary conflicts of interest, and we require trading disclosures to help police the market. Because ads now trade on electronic trading venues too, should we borrow these three competition principles to protect the integrity of advertising?

It boils down to: should we regulate ad exchanges like we regulate equity exchanges, such that the exchange operator (e.g. Alphabet, NYSE) cannot also be a participant in the traded assets.

If you believe the answer is yes, alphabet's ad exchange should not be in the same parent company as youtube and google.

Unbundling the ad exchange from alphabet's other services sounds like it would be a herculean technical nightmare!

You'd have to place both cores within the same reactor pressure vessel, which isn't possible.
The UK is more complicated than that.

In the end, democracy refers to who hold power. In the UK, it's very possible for a minority to have the majority of the power or even worse due to various details, and a lot of power is just not accountable to the people. So depending on where you draw the line it makes sense.
The Guardian is super biased and narrative driven - most outlets in the UK are. The BBC less so, and oddly, the FT's coverage tends to be very demure.
I think you're screwed either way.

The odds that a concentrated site has an event are much higher with colocation. But the changes of having an event at multiple locations are higher if they're spread out.

Some things that I believe would matter for colocation would be:

- chance of cascading failures

- economies of scale/safety in numbers (1 large team vs many small)

- plant-to-home efficiency (n fewer reactors due to smaller transmission losses)
That book is phenomenal, highly recommend.

> nearly overweight according to BMI while very fit, with low fat and high muscle

Not knowing you personally, it seems statistically more likely to me that your idea of "fit, low fat, high muscle" is what's at fault here (as opposed to BMI). Sure, you could be an exception. But all things being equal, you probably aren't. (Also maybe I misunderstand - if you mean that BMI was saying you were at the high end of normal then ... isn't that just saying that you're fine?)

(Of course if a medical professional or academic specializing in such matters also thought BMI was inaccurate in your case then I would tend to view things differently.)
As a current Android user, this was one of the driving reasons I was considering coming back to Apple. Maybe I'll switch "early next year".

Terrifyingly, the census: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/24/us/census-bureau.html:

> The count faces two crushing deadlines — to compile an accurate tally by Sept. 30, and to process and double-check the numbers in time to deliver population totals to the president by Dec. 31. The Census Bureau earlier had told Congress it needed to push the delivery of population totals to April 2021 because of the pandemic.

> The Trump administration ordered the speedup, critics say, because it wants to subtract undocumented immigrants from the totals before sending them in January to Congress to reapportion the House. That plan — which faces multiple court challenges — would reshuffle House seats to give a modest advantage to the Republican Party.

> It comes as the administration has installed political appointees in the Census Bureau’s top ranks — two in June and a third named last week to a new post: deputy director for data. Critics say the administration wants to change crucial statistical methodologies to give Republicans an even greater edge.
Maybe so, but it encourages employers to find ways to circumvent minimum wage laws. An sufficiently creative employer could find ways to have employees on-site for 8 hours per day, but only classify 4 of those 8 hours as paid work and find excuses why the remaining 4 hours are off the clock. E.g. setting things up, putting tools away, doing paperwork, etc.

This is neat! However I’m concerned it will embolden some people to carry more risk. I say that because I input the riskiest thing I’ve been doing regularly (hanging out at an outdoor park with a few friends with masks off, 6+ feet away) and the calculator told me it was less risky than I expected so I thought, “cool, I can do riskier things.” And then I slapped myself. But lots of people won’t slap themself, they’ll just do it.
They made it all they could control it. Before this the advertisers were sneaking out other data like the Mac address etc. The advertiser I'd had always been opt in so it was progress for privacy.

fail2ban works by tailing authentication logs and matching regexes to find failed attempts and the IP address of the source. So if nothing is listening on the port, there won't be anything to spit out logs that fail2ban can read.

You could potentially create a fake daemon that listens on port 22 and just logs every access attempt, and set up fail2ban to block any IP that even opens a connection to the port, regardless of what they try to send over it.

Actually, I think iptables has a LOG target that can log connection attempts even without something listening, so that could work too and be much simpler.
I'm surveying people with similar experiences to you. I have three questions if you don't mind answering them:

Some of your complaints stem from the cat(s) not having learnt what is and is not acceptable. They love to manipulate things with their paws and naturally many will try to swipe/push things and sometimes off ledges, shelves etc.

You can teach them that that is not acceptable and they will learn. It is even easier to discourage such things from a young age.

Also, it's good to never give them your food and make them learn that they never get food from you at any time other than their feeding time (barring the occasional treat) and always only in their food bowls.

A lot of it is consistency and discipline. I've had multiple cats start the behaviour of swiping/pushing things off surfaces but it wasn't hard at all to curtail that. While I've raised a non-trivial number of them, I've never had a cat which considered that s/he got food when humans are eating.
Eh, my comment is people do conflate and it helps reinforce selfish world views.

Do you prefer the word fraud for that?

In principle, imagine your government wrecking your business doing the exact same thing. Hey why not the IRS! Equality before the law.

No consequences. No restitution. The algorithm has spoken. Because your principle has been established and you have to stick to it.

Lower respiratory infections cause myocarditis extremely often. Subclinical myocarditis may well be universal in lower respiratory (lung) infections. Its one of the larger risk factors for heart attack- a flu vaccine can reduce your risk of heart attack for the entire year by 10-20%. Thats an insane return on investment.

When the lungs are infected, the heart works harder to pump blood through them. Virus-bearing blood flows directly from the lungs to the heart, and even if it isn't infected there will be a large local immune response. That means inflammation. Its nearly unavoidable once your lungs are infected. Even in young people, theres a huge difference between throat strep and lung strep (or flu)! It just isn't apparent until 20/30/40/50 years down the road.
Lead that is alloyed to other metals for ease of machining isn't going to get into anyone in meaningful quantity since it's alloyed into something strong and wear resistant. Even lead in potable water plumbing is a non-issue so long as you don't pull a Flint and let it dissolve. Paint is a far bigger issue since it wears much faster releasing much more lead. But as long as you weren't raised in house full of it you're probably fine.

Modern plastics of various varieties contain far more suspicious molecules IMO.

Just the USA? Humanity has differences on the purposes of education. For example, should education only be for men? In some parts of the world, yes.

>The whole thing is a mess.

Then let's use different terms to refer to the reality of these differences. Here's a first crack:

Educating includes broadening minds and encouraging thinking.

Training includes the dictation of knowledge and application of specific skills.

Learning "life-skills" is a specific but important part of training.

All educating includes training, but not all training includes education.

The terms "education" and "training" are often conflated and should not be.
Maybe we just need to put those solar panels between train tracks, then?

Why is this? It took a rich silicon valley dude to care about polio. But every layperson wants to destroy the current economy for future people.

Being from the future they are super rich compared to us, like every new generation now, so perhaps they just are better at writing Twitter hash tags?
San Francisco in the summer :D

I kid! AFAIK you most want this kind of immense baselines power for heavy industrial activities.

Also AFAIK, if these are simple/easy/small enough, you could co-locate the heavy consumption with the generation which'd cut power consumption (due to transmission) by something like 30% (on top of infrastructure maintenance savings). Kinda like Netflix putting boxes in local switches (if I have those terms correct).
CI pricing (gitlab, github actions, circleci etc.) is all extortionate. When they price by 'user seat' (gitlab) or 'credit' (circleci), comparing pricing is like trying to pick a cell phone plan.

AWS Code Build will always be an order of magnitude cheaper, it's just slightly harder to set up but it works very well. It's unclear how all these other services will ever compete with that.

For example, to run a CI server on Gitlab for a team of 8 that never spun down, it would cost $492 per month on their 'shared' runners. On AWS Code Build, you get a DEDICATED ec2 instance for $223 per month and only pay for what you use when it's running.
I was replying to someone who asserted that adtech pays for "the modern web". I dispute that statement. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and nobody has ever provided evidence that adtech actually pays for what we know as the Web today. We get lots of assertions as to such, but never proof.
I personally view it as a duty. Part of being a citizen in a (kind of) functioning democracy is understanding the nuances of the stuff that is screwed up around you to the best of your ability so that when the time comes to vote or have a meaningful discussion with others around you, you can be a voice of reason. Ignoring the world around them is how so many Americans still think Iraq had something to do with 9/11. I may not know everything, but I'm trying and putting an honest effort into learning as much as I can every single day. Reading NYT, WaPo, etc. is my version of putting an American flag out front, or a Support the Troops sticker on my car, or singing the National Anthem or whatever people do to feel like they're doing their part.

That being said, your approach is probably a lot healthier in the long-run. I always get really depressed after reading the papers. Usually I just call a buddy after and we both rant about things and afterwards everyone feels ok.
Cool it (pun intended) with the accusations of bad faith. Unless you have enough data to prove it, don't accuse it.

Hacker news is so bipolar on this. I've seen calls on this site for immediate antitrust law cases against google, and now that the Trump DOJ is doing it, immediately, there's a rush to defend Google. It's getting nauseating really.

Something being 'political' is not bad, especially when it being 'political' enforces the will of the people against those who ought to be subject to the will of the people. In particular, many Americans believe Google to be engaging in anti-competitive practices, so being political by following what the American populace wants cannot and should not be used as an insult.
The amount used as an interventional or short term treatment can greatly exceed what is a prudent amount to take daily. Taking 50k/day long term is probably a bad idea.
Here is a (1984, hah!) book on the topic that I found interesting

https://libcom.org/files/thats_funny.pdf
"You have mass leakage of internal discussions, with career ending consequences. You can't have any greater signal that something is very wrong, and that people believe the chain of reporting is compromised."

Leaks from DOJ is SOP; Trump or not the place is a hot bed of political grifters posing as law enforcement officials and playing footsies with their media contacts.

And I don't share your alarm over the potential consequences. The political class won't hurt Alphabet. At worst there will be a shakedown, some new toothless minders will emerge (captured on inception,) and then they'll throw the fish back, just like they did with Microsoft.
I am not any kind of lawyer, but here's my interpretation:

The usage of "legal" in this thread is highly misleading: partly erroneous and partly just a red herring. You are right about the USA national law, but that's the red herring part, because it is irrelevant in this international context with sovereign states and the ICC as parties. As far as the ICC is concerned (or rather international law and the treaty, the Rome Statute, which established the ICC) the suspected crimes were committed on party territory (Afghanistan; but also Poland, Romania and Lithuania; the latter three hosted the CIA black sites where prisoners were taken) and the USA government is not willing to prosecute themselves; so the ICC's purpose is to prosecute them.

That's why I called Llimos' position pseudo-legalist. (And also because the ICC is not a "private court" any more than the SCOTUS is a "private court".)

On the other hand, the USA is a sovereign state and its government is presumably in a position to ignore the international tribunal. This is the might part, which some are equating with a legally nonexistent right.

I don't know what exactly makes the USA different in this regard to some other relatively democratic state that finds its military and government under investigation by an international tribunal. It's surely got to do something with USA's might (power the US government is able to project across the world, e.g. sanctions) and worldwide reputation; but I think public opinion within the (democratic) country in conflict with the ICC is also hugely relevant in such cases, thus I'd say the US voters don't care about democracy or justice enough (otherwise the US politicians wouldn't dare do this, or pass the relevant laws).

For a comparison, I doubt there is currently an European internationally recognized state besides Russia and, maybe, Belarus whose governing politicians would dare defy something like the ICC; and sanctions by any state other than the USA would also carry much less weight.

Taking another look at the top-level comment, another thing that is visible in it apart from fake legalism is the "if it is legal, it is right", or, alternatively, "if it is within my might, it is right" point of view. That, too, is horrible; I guess I just didn't notice it consciously before.
I hope it does help people change their behavior to more accurately reflect the actual risks they face.
Assuming you're male, 140 is the lower bound, so, you know, much lower than that might be considered anorexic, but in the 140s is not necessarily unhealthy per se. That's why it's the lower bound.

I am your height and when I was in my 20s, I think I was in the 140s, later I was a little over 200, and now I am just about 185. So the range makes sense to me, but I've never been far from completely sedentary. I know a pro sports player at ~200 would be very skinny. I think Mariano Rivera was an example.

True, but if you look in the literature, you will find both of these compounds referred to as having some anti-viral effects, and their hypothesized mechanism(s) against Covid-19 may involve those effects.

For example, in <https://www.clinicalmicrobiologyandinfection.com/article/S11..., even though the study concludes other anti-virals are better, we see the footnoted, uncontroversial claim: "The antiviral properties of CQ were first explored against viral hepatitis as far back as 1963 [1]. Since then many observations from in vitro and animal experiments have suggested a beneficial role of HCQ and CQ in viral infections [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13]." There are of course hundreds more such authoritative references to observed anti-viral activity.

Or regarding Azithromycin (AZM) in <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7290142/>, we see: "It has been shown that AZM has significant antiviral properties. In contrast with CQ or HCQ, its antiviral activity has been shown in vitro and/or in vivo on a large panel of viruses: Ebola, Zika, respiratory syncytial virus, influenzae H1N1 virus, enterovirus, and rhinovirus [4–13]. Its activity against respiratory syncytial virus has been demonstrated in a randomized study in infants [10]. Azithromycin exhibited a synergistic antiviral effect against SARS-CoV-2 when combined with HCQ both in vitro [11] and in a clinical setting [13]."

That HCQ is mainly known as an antimalarial doesn't refute that it has, and is often tried for, antiviral effects. That AZM is mainly known as an antibiotic doesn't refute that it has shown broad antiviral effects as well.

(If you're stuck on 'antiviral' as some binary category, or mutually-exclusive with other categories, you're going to miss all the interesting incremental effects in real chemistry/biology. That sort of "sharply-bounded categories" thinking has killed a lot of people recently, as with those insistent on 'droplets vs aerosols' instead of a continuum including every size/variant of both.)
