Part of the issue for me is that what I’ve learned from searching with google for so long might not translate to DDG very well.

A real-world example from work recently is the query “vertical flexbox animation css”. In DDG, 0/5 of the top results are about animations and flexbox. They are just generic flexbox documentation. If I search the same phrase with google, 4/5 of the top results are about animations and flexbox. And I would think that CSS is a relatively popular technology compared to some things I could be thinking about!

This happens to me with so many queries throughout the day, that I often end up using !g whenever I have a technical-ish query because the top results are usually a lot more relevant.

Maybe you are right, and I just need to phrase that better, but most permutations of that string don’t return much clearer results.

They do only as far as whatever the contract they signed with Rogan stipulates. Since some of his old shows are being censored, it seems that the contract allows for censorship, though to my knowledge the contract has not been made public yet. Seems likely we'll find out.

I was a high care Parkinson's nurse for 5 years.

Whilst I'd love to see a viable treatment/cure for this devastating disease, I don't think brain implants are a high potential research vector for what is a cellular disease characterised by mitochondrial dysfunction.

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) requires invasive, expensive surgery and doesn't deliver consistent or lasting outcomes because candidate selection is haphazard, and the procedure doesn't alter the disease trajectory. The dopaminergic cells in the striatum continue to die.

I'm surprised to see this NIR trial proceed without a clear hypothesis for how it might work. It sounds like the group is well funded, but even if NIR gets similar results to electro DBS, it would only likely be a niche symptom alleviator for those who can afford it.

I found this part of the article disturbing.

In 2017, together with research fellow Cécile Moro, they injected 20 macaques with a neurotoxin known to cause Parkinson’s symptoms. In nine of them, they also delivered NIR to the midbrain area through an implanted device. Mitrofanis recalls how the first NIR-treated monkey behaved after a 3-week recovery period: “He was moving around like there was nothing wrong. We looked at each other and just hugged. … It was euphoric.”
PGPs trust levels are what made PGP never take off: even laypersons could see this is theater, not security.

For reasons unclear to me Thunderbird chose not to go with something like autocrypt.org, but stick with standard PGP and implement parts of their attempt to simplify, which isn't nearly enough to get regular users on board, never mind implement things like forward security, which autocrypt does.

A missed chance from Mozilla, secure email would fit in well with their mission.
Looks promising, except I'm having a devil of a time getting it installed :/
> Serious question: what happens when you take one of these fuel pellets and blow it up and disperse it in the atmosphere / water supply, either accidentally or on purpose?

Hmm, nothing? There are already billions of tons of uranium dissolved in seawater (there are actually efforts to try to "mine" uranium from seawater), why would a few grams more matter?

As for fission products, humanity has made hundreds of atmospheric nuclear tests, as well as the Chernobyl disaster that spewed lots of fission products into the atmoshpere. Unfortunate and stupid, yes, but not the end of humanity either. And fortunately, fission products decay away relatively quickly. So yes, a few grams of fission products from a spent fuel pellet will not make any impact if it's dispersed enough.
You can run Linux like a unikernel by limiting it to just one core at launch, and giving the other cores 100% to your app. No TLB thrashing, context switches, nothing. Just your code running without any interference whatsoever by the kernel or other processes...

And you can still SSH into your machine, run top, gdb, etc. :-)
Indeed. The combination of the class system and the war rationing absolutely wrecked British cooking in the 20th century, but from about the 1980s the middle class became interested in improving this, largely by importing cuisine.

Nowadays the top end is a bit self-parodic with too much emphasis on weird visual presentation, culminating in Heston Blumenthal, but the middle rank of available restaurants are great.
With a perspective looking on a global world, free speech should even be extended.
You might be using a VPN that is blocked by Namecheap. Try turning off the VPN and then logging in. If this is inconvenient, you can transfer the domain to a registrar that does not block VPNs. As far as I am aware, Namecheap is the only one that does.
I'm generally of that opinion, but I have read that it seems to be more complex then that.

First off, there's a trust factor. If people start to hear about all these vaccines with side effects and misbehaving, it can cause people to fear and not trust the vaccines themselves, even when some that do work and are safe come out.

Second, and this I am not sure of the validity, but I've seen claims that a bad vaccine could actually make it more difficult to later make a good vaccine. For example, it seems certain type of vaccine can only be used once, so if you've got a bad vaccine, the good vaccine wouldn't work on you anymore, etc.
No idea why, I reread your post a few times and see nothing wrong with it. Likely some people see Mozilla different to others based on their perceived view on "Philosophy". Which they might disagree on.

And I dont see any of your comment about diverging into other product market a bad thing at all.
Yes, I was offered a manual export of my domain list. By "dodged", I mean that the request for an export feature in the same ticket was ignored, sort of a passive-aggressive "wontfix". I would have just scraped the HTML table, but at the time it just didn't work in Firefox/Chrome, and there was a weird interaction between filtering and showing more than 25 domains on a page. This might be fixed now, but was very frustrating at the time. I felt like support ignored all of that and just offered a manual export, without understanding how much more time it takes for me to write up a ticket (and wait for response) vs implementing a proper export feature.
It's kinda silly, but that's also the point. People who think nuclear power is dangerous are silly. Solar power is more dangerous simply from the number of people falling off of roofs!
Just a quick plug for DNSimple. If you need a blazing fast tool to register domains, they’ve got it. Beats GoDaddy 1000x, no exaggeration.

I think that it is good overall to support this project. CAD software that runs on most Operating Systems unlike AutoCAD.

But, Training Users to use FreeCAD also matters. Also,it would be nice if FreeCAD can read/write AutoCAD files.
The parent comment had a good point, though: trust. If you run a public file sharing service, trusting a link shared through it becomes hard if it's overfilled with phishing and virus-laden fakes pretending to be legitimate things. Often you don't want the risk as a user, and definitely you don't want an association with a cesspool as a brand.

Until trust is solved, running and using such a service remains problematic. It needs not be solved via content inspection, though; if I could verify the sender, I won't care about phishing links (and such links would cease to be useful for scammers and disappear). But this is a separate significant undertaking.
That might be right or wrong, but I don't see how it's transphobic. If I said Catholic people have an ideological agenda to make more people Catholic, they want to make their kids Catholic, they want to make your kids Catholic, they want to make YOU Catholic - that might be right or wrong, depending on the Catholics, but I don't see how saying it would demonstrate a prejudice against Catholics.

Correct if i'm wrong: The general conclusion is Vectors are faster and pattern matching is slower in observable way when generating vectors.

I wonder if it changes when vec items becomes bigger structs and size goes to millions.

Rust dosc says with LinkedLists that you should better use Vec for speed. I think just raw array of bytes is always faster than linked pointers. But LinkedList will probably have less of a memory pressure in cases where you have to maintain large list and remove elements at random while keeping coherency.

from Rust docs:
Vector = "A contiguous growable array type, written Vec<T> but pronounced 'vector'."

LinkedList = "A doubly-linked list with owned nodes.

The LinkedList allows pushing and popping elements at either end in constant time.

NOTE: It is almost always better to use Vec or VecDeque because array-based containers are generally faster, more memory efficient, and make better use of CPU cache."
Receiving food stamps are correlated with obesity. Very few countries have food stamps except USA. Poor people who don't get food stamps are healthier than poor people who do get them. So the problem isn't lack of money, it is that food stamps incentivise them to buy junk food instead of cooking on their own.

My favorite part of FreeCAD is that it is scriptable. It's very satisfying to define shapes via some math (or I/O) in python, then turn them into a solid in FreeCAD, then export for 3D printing.

As an engineering tool, though, it still feels rudimentary (and sometimes buggy) compared to e.g. Solidworks. Keep going, guys!
Thanks, I really appreciate that.

I do my best, but the sad reality is that I made an insanely large amount of mistakes in my development life, I didn't reach these conclusions without doing damage myself.

I try to give back by training developers and making sure the business gain awareness so they don't have to experience the complete halt of feature development when the software becomes unsuited for changes.
There are a few decent youtube videos, but I agree - it's a very steep learning curve.

> They only work well at small percentage of generation when you have enough hydropower backup

What do you see as a small percentage? A country like The Netherlands is generating between 10% and 50% renewable energy without significant storage capacity (it's summer so a lot of that energy comes from solar, but in winter the yields from wind will be higher), and we are one of the worst countries in the EU when it comes to renewables. I thought the need for storage is mostly a problem if you want to reach a high percentage of generation using renewables. Anyway, energy storage also seems beneficial if you want to build a nuclear infrastructure, so it seems like a problem that has to be tackled regardless.

> They are cheapest because they are subsidised on one hand, and on the other hand, nuclear is penalized by lawsuits and regulartions and inspections

I don't think subsidies are really a problem. Weren't the nuclear power infrastructures of France and Ukraine mostly build using state subsidies? The amount of subsidies needed to build renewables is also decreasing. Some might argue subsidies aren't necessary anymore, but we still need massive infrastructure investments to create a smart grid, more interconnectors, etc. Also, nuclear energy might be regulated too much, but I'm not sure how much can be saved without hurting safety.
> Either volcanic and geothermal activity or meteoric activity are the only likely culprits.

Another possibility is abrupt changes in the flow of large bodies of waters affecting ocean circulation causing climate changes. One hypotheses is as the glaciers retreated the waters of the Missisppi river switched to flowing out of the St Lawrence river affecting North Atlantic currents.
Frankly I find this completely disgusting and predatory. The marketing is clearly trying to appeal to a popularity contest individual. It specifically targets Gen-Z and wants to offer them 4x their average credit given out today. The references[0] linked to where they get these stats say that in demographics are higher credits are granted, the lower the average score is.

Gen-Z listed in the reference is average score of 667 (the lowest of all the others) and average total credit was $8k. Compared to Milennials and Gen X etc all being over 20k.

So they want to 4x a Gen-Z'ers credit. They're targeting "flare" popular marketing. They even have an element that lets you hear what it sounds like for the metal credit card to drop.

It has an unboxing tout to appeal to the unboxing fad, like unboxing a credit card is a thing to appreciate it.

This is disgusting. It's predatory. The incentive and motivation is to capture a generation struggling into debt slavery.

This is abhorrent.

This is great, but I’m still going to wipe down my groceries.
Yeah and just imagine how the anti-vax conspiracy crowd would respond in that situation. Things would get really crazy really fast. Even in a pandemic we can't rush this.
Not one of the linked questions from that survey measured whether the respondents wanted more integration between EU countries, only how favorably they viewed the EU. So just to be clear: Those two things are very different. There's a world of difference between wanting more international cooperation (or actually, just liking the current amount of international cooperation) and wanting to give up more sovereignty. I'm not arguing against the EU being viewed favorably by the citizens of the EU - that is indeed generally the case. Case in point, I myself view the EU favorably, yet I'm also very concerned that about the push toward making it more of a supra-national organization (above its member states legally, who have given it sovereignty, and are forced into new deals, even ones its citizens disagree fiercely with) and less of an international organization (a forum for discussion and facilitator of agreements between its member states, who maintain their sovereignty, and are able to opt out of deals they don't want to be in). The people driving this push are indeed politicians and bureaucrats, not the general electorate. And why wouldn't it be - if you asked a normal person on the street "would you prefer that the laws governing your country are made by the politicians in your parliament that you know the names of, and have a say in electing, or primarily by hundreds of politicians from other countries, that might have a completetely different culture than you, and that you have no say in electing?" what do you think the response would be?

“ You cannot reason a man out of what he never reasoned himself into.” Attributed to Jonathan Swift

The issue is that these elites did not come to their conclusion through science. They came to their conclusion because they are trying to push a certain narrative. Thus, no matter what data you show them, they will always find a way to cling to their narrative. Even worse, you might get cancelled for promulgating data and interpretations that does not fit the narrative.

This is not science!

Autocrypt is the middle ground Thunderbird should have implemented (and which Enigmail used to offer). Email is here to stay, so encryption by default won't happen as long as the PGP standard is used as designed (trust levels and all). Autocrypt improves all that horrible UX, including secure key transfer or rotation, where you can keep doing your own key management if you wish, but you have to do nothing more than enable Autocrypt if you don't. It's a mystery why Mozilla didn't push this, seems a perfect fit for them to empower regular web users.

Every fact is theory-laden. There are no theory-neutral facts. What usually happens in natural sciences is that one theory wins over others; therefore, there is no dispute about facts such as "2 + 2 = 4" or "the speed of sound is ...".
The results are interesting but the article muddles the issue by confusing terminology.

At the time, "Viking" did not denote certain people or ethnic groups, it denoted an activity - traveling (and raiding) by boat. So a person might be described as "in viking" for the summer.

Only later have the people who did this activity been called "vikings". So nobody "self identified" as viking at the time.

The article muddles this by talking about "ethnic vikings" whatever that means, and "viking ancestry". Probably "Scandinavian" is meant. But the article at one hand talks about "Viking DNA" and at the same time claims vikings are not an ethnic group.

Edit: This criticism applies to the article, not the underlying paper which seem to be much more careful with terminology. It defines a "viking culture" existing outside of Scandinavia (e.g. in Scotland) with Scandinavian cultural links but where members of this culture were not necessarily of Scandinavian descent. It also examines remains of an ill-fated raiding party in Estonia which were Swedish vikings in the traditional definition. And then it examines DNA from viking-age burial sites inside Scandinavia.

I ... don't think that's true?

I mean, I just did a search for "burn Mein Kampf" and found videos of people doing just that - do you categorize them as all having conservative, limited views?

A check of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_book-burning_incidents says "On September 20, 2010 the Pentagon bought[271] and burned[272] 9,500 copies of Operation Dark Heart, nearly all the first run copies for supposedly containing classified information." - I don't think you can easily categorize that as conservative or liberal.

The same list says "During the Libyan Civil War, copies of Muammar Gaddafi's Green Book were burned by anti-Gaddafi demonstrators" - again, does that mark them as having conservative, limited views?

On the topic of "freedom of speech" - it's well established in the US that free speech includes the right to buy a US flag and burn it as form of protest (bearing in mind burn bans and other general restrictions on burning). Surely it's also free speech to buy your own copy of a book and set it on fire, yes?

If you want to buy and burn 10,000 copies of a book which is currently in print, where there's no cultural or historical destruction, and where you aren't taking the books from other people, then ... what exactly is the infringement of free speech? You might even get a wholesale discount from the publisher.

Personally, I see this as a man-bits-dog story. Book burning stories are not rare. I easily found https://time.com/5698850/jennine-crucet-book-burning-georgia... from last year:

> On Wednesday night, students at Georgia Southern University (GSU) ripped and burned copies of a Latina author’s book about a woman of color navigating life at a predominately white university. The burning happened after Jennine Capó Crucet, author of Make Your Home Among Strangers and a professor at the University of Nebraska, spoke at the university about the book and her personal experiences. ... The university decided to relocate Crucet to a different hotel outside of town after a crowd began to form outside her original lodging.

Now ask why one story made it to HN and the other one didn't.
