It's not "a couple", there's been about 105 child deaths, and 4600 child hospitalizations. It's not as bad as adults, but you can't say little Johnny is magically immune, nor can you say that Brad the football star at the local college is either. I don't think it's currently clear why some apparently healthy people develop severe reactions.
Even better, if you load custom firmware[1] on it, you don't need the special cartridge at all, and you can dump your game cartridges right to the system's SD card (this only works for GameBoy Advance and 3DS games, but not original DS games). If you buy digital games from the eShop, this also gives you an effective way to back them up, including save files.

Obviously. But it should be understood that "is not being replaced by" is always a time-windowed statement. In the grand scheme of things, everything new replaces everything old eventually.
Right, I would say there's a difference between a low-effort joke/meme/pun vs a biting critique done as a joke.

It this case, the criticism was, Apple products will narrowly optimize for something pleasant (well-restedness) at the cost of what you really want (getting to work on time). This is a very common complaint[1], and it's kind of witty to joke about them doing it by accident here, when it's what they deliberately do in other contexts.

[1] Examples: making the URL bar look nice and minimal at the cost of you knowing where you are in a site, removing the scroll bar at the cost of knowing where you are in a page or how to move it, making the mouse unusuable when charging just so you don't have a hole on the top.
Autodesk's behaior in this is no different, morally, from metal theft: an act that gives a trivial benefit a very small number of people at a massive cost to many victims.

The amount of money Autodesk's multi-mansion & yacht class of managers will make from attempting to force hobbyists into paid software rental is trivial compared to both Autodesk's existing profits and the amount of damage this will do to the creative capacity of society.

It's a problem that government continues to allow extractive companies, such as Autodesk, to offer one-sided consumer "contracts" that are binding on consumers but can be unilaterally and arbitrarily revoked by the issuer.
I want to see how safe is this underground graveyard in case of a volcanic eruption... I'm sorry but I don't believe in nuclear, I think at the pace renewable and batteries are evolving now, they will be better alternative before a new nuclear plant is planned and constructed which takes many years.
The "how it works" video shows a geological repository dug into a cement cave in the ground. Waste is stored there to minimize exposure.

They at least didn't try to hide it and in fact did mention it.
The misunderstanding is that freedoms exist without constraint due to the damage that their exercise does to others. I have freedom to act in any way I choose, but I am not allowed to smash my neighbors windows or set a fire in their garden. The harm that I would do necessarily defines the parameters of my freedom.

Likewise screaming Fire! in a crowded space is not allowed as free speech. People could die, you could die, you are not allowed to do that.

Social media and the internet have permitted people to scream Fire! loudly for many years. The harms that this has done are very evident, society is buckling under the pressure it has created.
we are actually doing precisely the same thing at instacart (breaking our 1+ million lines of code monolith into discrete components, which we call "domains"), and typing the boundaries and as much of the internals of these domains as possible with sorbet types.

this has the benefit of ruby dynamicism (fast development within domains, you can use all the nice railsy tooling, activerecord, and all the libraries we've built over the years), with type safety at the boundaries (we've also put in timeouts, thread separation, and error handling at the boundaries).

the additional benefit for using sorbet is that it makes making typed RPC calls (over twirp or graphql) much easier as you can introspect the boundaries trivially.

really cool to see other companies evolving similarly given the same starting conditions!
I don't know, and I have been wondering whether much of the evident pro-nuclear lobbying recently (it seems apparent on many threads here related to energy generation) might be due to the nuclear industry being in serious threat of becoming obsolete.

I've harped on about this many times before, but the levelized cost of energy[1] for renewables like solar and wind power is substantially cheaper than nuclear power nowadays.

That, combined with the problems of long construction times, population unease with nuclear, and nuclear waste as you mention, seem like they should limit nuclear power in the near-term, and perhaps eliminate it in the mid-to-long-term.

There seems to be a valid question around how to store energy from renewable sources given that they have a tendency to fluctuate in terms of generation output - but it seems to me that storage is a safer, more tractable problem to solve than the issues surrounding nuclear (fission) energy.

[1] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levelized_cost_of_energy
True; I think the rational stems from the following research questions:

R1 - Is the entity a projection of the participant or manifestation of a separate entity?

R2 - If the entity is a manifestation, can it process information that is not presented by the participant?

R3 - Can that information be presented to another participant with the entity acting as an intermediary? This would expand on your idea of "if the same entity revealed itself to two participants", then perhaps having Person 1 receive musical input, describe the entity's reaction, Person 2 does not receive the musical input and describes the entity's behavior. If there is are common reaction behaviors between the entities, it wouldn't prove they are separate from the host, but could lead to additional types of studies.
In my opinion, I've taken no route. I've pointed out the dismissals in their stance. I agree that the route we've taken is bad, I agree things should change and this study should inform those changes. However, I'm not going to minimize the death nor avoid the suffering. I'm at least explicit in my belief that we should be minimizing death as much as possible, fairness to the owners be damned.
I'm not a doctor or anything, but there's also reports that a "vitamin D hammer" has dropped death rate from 86% intubated patients to 36%, and vitamin D triggers a huge immune response. So my guess is that it's either NOT an immune response, or a bad one, until you add the Vit. D.

Or the kind that is presented with absolutely 0 context.

Most of those tweets are pretty funny, but I can't help but think that a lot of them wouldn't be so hard to read if we knew the context in which they were said.
Official CLI tools make it much easier to build automation with shell scripts.

One example that comes to mind - we used hub to hack together a quick security feature that errors out our CI/CD pipeline (which runs shell scripts) if there are any open PRs that are labeled "security" (i.e. Dependabot opening a PR to update a vulnerable library), which forces developers to keep their dependencies up-to-date in order to deploy into production.

GUI tools don't work as part of CI/CD pipelines.

Libraries in higher-level languages (e.g. Python) force you to make sure that there's a library for every tool that you work with - if a specific tool is missing a Python library, then you have to deal with that yourself. Shell scripting is much more productive for gluing multiple sets of tooling together, as long as the shell scripts remain of a maintainable length.
In addition to the comments/links:

Regarding music and the mind, the synchronisation/entrainment method of audio driving/sonic driving has been addressed in the book 'Music, Science and the Rhythmic Mind' by Berger and Turow. Research that looks at aligning not just the rate (tempo) of the music to brainwaves, but varieties of rhythm has been done by Jeff Strong, founder of Rhythmic Entrainment Intervention (some of his YouTube videos talk about specifics). Jeff has studies Vodou music AFAIK.

Regarding altering states of mind through meditation, Jeff Tarrent's NeuroMeditation Institute has some interesting work and regarding altering states with psychedelics, the work of Andrew Gallimore's (Alien Insect's) work is also very interesting. Andrew in his YouTube video series talks about how connections in the brain change when exposed to psychedelics - I would be interested to see correlation between the way 'trance' music (without drugs) and 'psychedelics' (drugs:) create these states.

Besides, you could get prosecuted for obscenity or blasphemy in many countries (including the US), never mind J. Edgar Hoover's FBI persecuting everyone deemed "too red".

The past really wasn't all that rosy.
Nice animation but but...
I think nuclear is bad because the technology to make it is in the hands of a few big corps. That's the major downside, and of course, toxic waste.
I'd assume there's probably only one line producing (at a single factory) as all the other ones have retooled to something else.
I found Youtube recommendations are much better than recommendations at other places. Eg. Netflix. When I say recommendation, I mean - "Helping me with discovery of new stuff". They also have a problem - they keep showing what I already have seen - I don't know - whether this is by design or a bug.
Just a reminder: Cloudflare with its standard settings is breaking the second and third world countries internet with their captchas on websites. This is discrimination in my opinion. As long as you are only in a first world country you will never notice.
You can also add &search=N95 KN95 to find and highlight search terms. There might be other parameters but I do not know them off the back of my head. It's a great and totally under-used feature. Almost like the timestamped, searchable transcripts on Youtube...

Edit: there's at least "zoom" available as well. I think it takes a percentage value as parameter.
It is worth noting that living in a sunny country does not guarantee the larger population receiving adequate Vitamin D through sun exposure, as many such populations somewhat paradoxically avoid sun exposure, as there are legitimate health reasons for doing so (extreme heat, concerns about skin cancer, etc.).
There are safe nuclear reactors like below that have been built and tested and proven to be commercially viable, but not of this specific design.

While Cloudflare actions have been mostly positive, the sheer size of their network is a concern for decentralization.

We can’t trust that they’ll always make good decisions.

I’m glad that the Internet Archive is independent and hope it always remains that way.
One of her kids works for one of the big consulting companies she loved to hire.

But more importantly, the people working for her on the government side were often super close to the consultants they hired. As the minister, she takes responsibility for what is going on in her ministry - and that was full of friends giving contracts to friends.
>We can capture 1/5th of its output per square meter. For free!

except you know, the solar panels. by the same logic you can you can capture fission power for free, all you need is set up the reactor.
As a PhD student my main topic was the period of time just after the disclosure of a vulnerability. This is the most threatening stage of its life cycle as mitigations are not disseminated in the community yet (a patch may be available but nobody installed it yet, etc.).

We struggled to find a commonly accepted term for vulnerabilities at this stage of their life cycle, but we finally settled on n-day vulnerability. This term have been relatively well accepted by the vulnerability research community.

The exact length of this period is completely dependent on the velocity of the community to adopt a mitigation such as a patch. Heartbleed and Shellshock had been massively mitigated in a matter of days or weeks, but EternalBlue based-attacks still caught a lot of production systems off-guard more than a year after its disclosure.
Enforcement of this will be ... interesting. Is labeling someone gay considered hate speech? Would buying 'famous person'.gay and having it display the word 'yes' be considered defamation?
In my area, as in Sweden, cases have been declining for many weeks now. Lockdown didn't become stricter. People didn't become more compliant; rather the opposite. Why aren't cases skyrocketing the way they were a couple of months ago? What explanation is there other than the herd immunity thresholds being wrong?
That said, it was a very cool form factor.
> In my opinion “founder” is not a word someone should be unilaterally conferring upon themselves, but is more meaningfully applied only by others.

Simply not true. It is a legal definition with someone leeway at the edge cases.

> Leave the identification of “founders” to people like the Wall Street Journal if you wish for the word to retain any meaning at all.

What? Since when did Wall Street Journal decide who are the founders? The founders tell the WSJ who the founders are, not the other way around.

Pretty much founders are those who weren't hired. Early employees are those hired by the "founders".
I'd worry about hallucinations when applying a GAN to a pixellated image. You'll get out a face, but who's to say that it's the correct face? Lots of people look similar.
Best way to stop crime is to have the state execute anyone found guilty, right? Because the justice system never makes mistakes and is always on our side!

Tell me, in this utopia, is there a world government carrying out these executions? Or is it just our great country who is purging it's security experts?
Why establish a false dichotomy? One can be just as mad about them abusing their position to attack free speech in a censorious way, as one is about their other efforts to create a monopoly over a large swathe of internet traffic.

I get it, nobody wants to defend badthink, but it's a hell of a lot easier philosophically to defend all political speech regardless of content than it is to try to pick and choose and make some moral case.
Under this approach, we would have to burn all of our natural forests down to the ground because of climate change. It will soon be too dry for any forest to be in it’s natural state. Plus I don’t see how this is strictly a California problem, federal funds are required to manage federal lands. Especially since the current federal administration is fueling the onset of climate change like no other. I’ve witnessed the billions spent by PG&E in trimming trees away from these poles, but they should have spent a little more and gone the distance to just bury these lines underground. PG&E is a failed experiment. They have shown when confronted with the challenge of what’s best for the public and what’s best for the shareholders, they always choose the latter
A few hints:

- read about CIGEO

- nuclear waste, once it has decayed, becomes metal in glass

- nuclear waste is _small_, see [1], the nuclear fuel waste is the tiny red cube.

- wind turbines have a 20 years lifespan, after which the blades are buried and forgotten, and will stay there forever [2]

- renewables are more CO2 intensive than nuclear, fuel cycle included, see IPCC reports (there is a debate for nuclear vs wind depending on where nuclear is deployed. in France nuclear is 6gCO2eq/kWh, vs 12 for wind)

- mercury however, will be buried in Germany, and will stay there until the end of times (unlike nuclear, which will disapear), and that doesn't seem to bother anybody

I grew up in an underground house, though not one as elaborate as this sounds.

It was mostly just a concrete house built into the side of a hill so that only the southern face is exposed.

When my parents moved in it had four feet of earth on the roof as well.

The roof would be dry the day it rained, but would start leaking two or three days after the rain was done.

They got tired of that. So they removed all the dirt and exposed the concrete, then just built a second story onto the house.

The main peculiar thing about that house from a broader perspective is that we treated the upstairs like most people treat a basement.

The main room in the upstairs was I think 20 feet wide by 60 feet long. And it had a concrete floor. Made for a good adolescent play area.
> Countries do it all the time and there are conflicts because it all the time everywhere. UK is slightly different because EU is much stronger than UK, withdrawal agreement is important to keep food, medicine and skills flowing between borders.

Plus, the government's argument (today at least) is that the EU broke the agreement first, so it's nil and invalid.

Similarly, on the iPhone, there's that switch on the side that silences it, but I've been burned by not realizing it that hides the existence of a phone call and sends it straight to voicemail, and only later alerts me that it happened at all.

Edit: it doesn't seem to do that anymore, but it definitely did at least twice, when I didn't have DND on.
"...nor for identifying it as a double helix..."

I think you're wrong about this part. Maybe someone else had speculated that it might be a double helix (I don't know), but to take such a speculation seriously one has to work out the details, and see that they are compatible with the X-ray crystallography data.
Being a security person myself, I've found plenty of value in reading SOC2 reports. They're one of the few relatively standardized ways to address the laundry list of vendor due diligence questions.

Is it a good experience for small companies? No. Does it make it easy for your vendors to use cool new technologies? No.

Do I, someone advising on whether or not we should buy something, care about either of those in the moment? Also no. And I spend a rather distressingly large amount of my time trying to talk engineers out of using cool new technology for novelty's sake anyway.

You're absolutely right. SOC2 can, and I assume often does, go quite badly awry and waste literally everyone's time and money. I just know that I've found some value in it. And it helps provide a sound basis for making the vendor agree to assume liability for when they screw up due to grifting.

Puzzling why they didn’t include inside pics with some of the damage.
The expensive bit about nuclear is not the fuel. It's making sure that the fuel stays where it is supposed to be. A different design might change the cost of that dramatically.

1. How long does it need to be kept safe?

2. How to find a storage facility that can keep it safe that long?

3. How to ensure that a facility does not contamine other stuff in X years?

4. if it is recycable why does nobody do it?

5. if it is so easy to store it safe, why does not country have a TRUE final depot?

yeah coal is bad, but why compare it to coal in the first place when we want to reduce such things anyway?!
This puzzles me as well. Win32 is fine. If you download Dolphin Smalltalk or Corman Lisp or Free Pascal/Lazarus, they're still targeting Win32 for GUIs. Especially since, with Wine, Win32 GUIs are effectively cross platform.

The way I see it is it's not free speech that is the problem, as such, it's that people who used to gossip to a small audience down the pub now have equal platforms to newspapers.

The internet has levelled the playing field and now everyone is a politician with an agenda to push. The 'truth' has been revealed to mean whatever the audience is persuaded and agrees to believe.

We are all subject to various cargo cults. What was once limited to political think tanks to guide a nation (propaganda and lies in all) is now in the hands of everyone who can build a significant social following.

Free speech needs to be defended to avoid thought police mentality, but it comes with the understanding that we all determine our own realities and without critical thinking one is subject to subversive influence.

The internet as a platform is a good candidate for the undoing of our civilization. Popular individualism that is enabled by echo chambers drives polarization and therefore a govt. that is increasingly under threat of irrelevance. As such they must identify and nullify an enemy that has no head to cut off. And so legislation is proposed to cut the means to communicate which drives the dialog underground and toward violence.

Humans are starting to lose definition, falling into chaos and struggles for control where there really can be none. Two extremes I can see this going in the direction of are urban guerrilla wars or 1984 Orwellian dystopia. Maybe both, one following the other.
"a very unpopular ideal"

I thought it is still very popular. But it just have very unpleasant experience when it was practiced according to its literal sense.
It's unclear how creating a what-sounds-like a rather expensive open source VR system could possibly put Facebook "out of business", considering probably 99 out of 100 people have no idea FB even owns Oculus.

Also, FB's core business is ads sold to businesses trying to reach users doing social networking stuff...how does this even touch that revenue?

At this point, I don't think FB will ever be put out of business given how old their core user base is, knowing that older people loath tech changes.
Flu is harder to transmit and there is vaccine infrastructure available every year, despite that, it can still be very severe. Let's add a coronavirus with potentially greater severity than a flu, which has no vaccine, and has easier transmission, with a severe flu season this year and just watch the bodies pile up.
