What about the recent finding that the atmosphere of Venus seems to contain badger farts?

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/14/science/venus-life-clouds...
(read with a generous interpretation).

Badgers are known as hardy animals. They also like to dig, which could help with the terraforming.

Why aren't we talking about using badgers to colonize Venus?!? How do we know they haven't beat us to it?
TL;DR, Summer 2020: Development of QUIC and HTTP/3 within the IETF has reached a significant milestone as it nears completion. Most implementations are able to interoperate with each other and servers are ready to serve QUIC and HTTP/3. And, while clients are at various stages, client support is starting to roll out as well.
If I hadn't read the report, how could I have known that 1/3 of the students involved were designated as student athletes?

My point remains. Once you've opened the door to accepting students for non-academic reasons, you've opened it to accepting them for other non-academic reasons.

(In this case I don't care about the impact on "real athletes" because I don't think that athletic programs are important to the university's core mission.)
I’d be curious to hear a specific example of the toxic or self-centered behavior you’re referring to, since this is not at all my experience.
Thanks for linking to the report, it's interesting reading.

I think it largely confirms the point of my post though - we need independent certification labs in the US to make imported PPE usable. It is unclear what % of reported quality failures in that report were due to counterfeits. Now that the manufacturers have authenticity codes on their product we can hold manufacturers directly accountable for filtering performance.
But why racism specifically?
I've read a lot about community, or the sense of being part of a community, as being the most important factor in human happiness. Winning the lottery doesn't automatically put you into any community and I would argue it actually has the potential of separating you from a lot of your current peers.

The book has some pretty controversial opinions, but _Sex at Dawn_ has a lot of good insight about how important community and sharing are to a social species such as humans and how we might have lost that strong sense of community with the advent of agriculture and consequent abundance.
Cool idea, but the editor is not open source or at least not usable locally as far as I can tell, so that's a no go for me. IMO, I'd rather just use unity or godot.
I do this, but I live with people who don't.

Therein lies the rub...
Personally I would like to say yes!

Both of these issues, Human Trafficking and Drug Trafficking, have a history of being used to support attacks on racial minorities. In addition, once ICE has this level of power it is only a matter of time before it is turned to other issues like: Identifying foreign protestors and political dissidents, tracking down suspected communists, and identifying journalist sources. This is already happening through DHS inter-agency collaboration.

What little benefit that comes from reducing drug imports and human trafficking (Consensual and non-consensual) is offset by the damage caused by allowing a government agency to abuse and detain unpopular minority groups while invading the privacy of citizens and non-citizens alike.
The cropping issue is an unsolvable one for AI. It doesn’t matter how unbiased you want the model to be, if an algorithm has to chose between 2+ faces with no “correct” answer, it can’t win.

You might just think, why doesn’t it just identify the skin color and crop randomly based on that? Now what if there is two races of men and one woman in the image? Or vice versa? You quickly get into if/else hell.

The algorithm can be tuned to no end, but in the end, it’s dealing with an infinite amount of possibilities (not just faces) and it’s a problem that proves Twitter just needs to let the users adjust the crop or focus themselves.

Yes, that could be the reason. The authors of the paper I linked specifically call out censorship by journals, but maybe it's just them left with that impression. They did give citations[1],[2] to backup that claim.

I don't think there is some grand conspiracy going on, just that the experts early on decided it's a natural origin and completely unrelated to the lab, without any evidence I might point out, and now there's a very real and all too human tendency to dismiss anything else as quackery. Whether or not this is actually the case here is debatable, but we know know it's all too common in science and elsewhere.

I have yet to see a "good" EHR. The top dollar solutions are at best usability nightmares[1] and since every major vendor is based out of the US, they all optimize for billing/CYA over reducing clinician workload or increasing the standard of care.

Do healthcare organizations cheap out on critical software components or modifications? Absolutely, all the time. Do they also spend exorbitant amounts on these bad-for-everyone-but-administrator systems? Also yes. I agree with the point many folks have made about targeting the right audience: just consulting the C-suite is a surefire way to create software end users will hate.

You're completely mistaking me. Of course it's a symbiotic relationship. But if men choose not to be competitive, those men will just exclude themselves from procreation. The power is in women's hands to change it by being less avaricious. For example plenty of women have been conned by De Beers into thinking they need a diamond engagement ring worth x times monthly salary, else the prospective spouse isn't worth it. And plenty of them couldn't care less about the horrible circumstances behind their diamond. Let's not put either sex on a pedestal here.

Oh and thanks for your concern, but I'm doing just fine with my current cognitive path thanks. Mortgage, marriage, kids etc. all in hand.

Interesting that we've gone from "kicked our for actively opposing" to "kicked out for not supporting" in the span of just a few comments.
I wish you well in attaining the good life to which you intend.

I also reflect that the most significant choices are those which are within one's locus of control, the awareness of that is foundational to a life of virtue and money never seems un-constraining even if objectively one controls more of it.
From Wikipedia: "Many high-profile actors refused to join SAG initially. This changed when the producers made an agreement amongst themselves not to bid competitively for talent."

Tech companies have tried this in the past, now this would typically be met with an antitrust suit rather than creating a guild. Not sure which is preferable.
Something like that for me too when I was a toddler. It was a syncing issue.

In a theoretical sense, sure, but in a practical sense, my understanding is that GATs already exist in chalk, and so it's still a matter of putting in the work, not a question of "is this possible or not."

Those words would be that Carter was a leader who was looking for the American people. Regan reversed Carter's actions, got us more dependent on foreign oil, deepened our relationship with the Saudis. Rolled back efficiency standards and as a show of arrogant bravado, removed the solar panels that Carter had installed on the Whitehouse. Not sure what Bush the GP was referring to, but what kind of revisionism claims that either Bush moved us towards energy independence.

It is important to recognize how we got into this mess and who the literal and figurative actors are.

> Being against gay marriage makes you a homophobe as much as being against minors voting makes you a pedophobe. - nec4b

Except it 100% does not and your statement makes absolutely no sense. One is a right you taking away from a group of people you don't agree with and the other doesn't even follow. What? Being against letting minors vote somehow makes you /not/ want to have sex with children? What is that even suppose to mean other than to be an age-old dog-whistle trying to tie homosexuality to pedophilia?
I included that very matter in the order of magnitude flexibility, since I’m not sure what “31% capacity” actually means.

Even being as generous as I can imagine, that’s still each request consuming over 200ms of system resources, which for something like this would be terrible. It’s some years since I’ve done any Django, but I remember measuring a fairly simple django CMS installation (which is waaaay more complex than this) in 2013 taking 50–80ms to serve most pages, with the slowest page averaging something like 180ms; my recollection is that I took those measurements before doing any deliberate performance tuning (I don’t think I’d put the cached template loader in yet—it wasn’t in the default config back then—and I think it may have even not been doing connection pooling).

Given the scope of this app, I figure it should be doing one or two simple and well-indexed SELECT queries only, and maybe an INSERT or UPDATE for analytics, but nothing more with its database. I would think 20ms should be oodles of time to do everything even in Django.
That plus the ~500°C at the surface and we have a little paradise to explore
Submer is dunking servers in goo to save the planet
Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson is astounding, the benchmark.

The Space Merchants (Kornbluth/Pohl) is an oddball novel about a hyper-consumerist future, where the settlement of Venus is driven by marketing. It's all about an advertising executive.

Both highly recommended, for different reasons.
I’d actually go so far as to say that I’m not familiar with any legitimate therapeutic approach that is not concerned with how the patient treats others. I’ve definitely read self-help books that seemed to be advocating for narcissistic behavior, but they weren’t written by mainstream psychologists or therapists.
Is that such a bad thing, in an absolute sense? Sure it made a mess of code (well, early versions, at least) but it enabled people who don't/can't/won't code to put content on the web fairly easily. I know I used it as a tool in the early DIV/CSS days to shunt stuff around quickly, before diving in to clean up the code afterwards.
> the experts early on decided it's a natural origin and completely unrelated to the lab, without any evidence I might point out

No, that's BS. There is evidence, a quick Google search away, published in Nature back in March.

I was wondering about _exogeology?_
You still have to spin up the planet. An earth-like atomosphere would freeze solid on the dark side, and air from the light side would be rushing into the dark side, where it would freeze, until the light side was stripped of its atmosphere too. So the atmosphere would just be a mobile ice cap on the far side, rotating around the planet once per year, with the only gaseous atmosphere being a small, constantly-moving region of sublimation at the terminator betwen the light and dark sides.

Make the atmosphere thick enough to not freeze on the far side, and it'll be absolutely boiling on the near side. The slow rotation means that there is no happy medium: either you've got an atmosphere freezing solid, or you're cooking half the planet at any given moment.

So far on Firefox neither "Down them all!" nor "Download All Images" recognized the torrented images.
There are still plenty of MDs in the world, but these days it's mostly used in finance and consulting to represent the first layer of leadership below the c-suite.

A vending machine where you let it post sponsored content to your twitter in exchange for a "free" soda.
It doesn't, and that's a valid point that I didn't consider. Currently, if the site generates too much traffic (the limit's aren't very clear), access will be forbidden. In your opinion, will it suffice if I add an option for the user to change the map's tile layer to a provider like e.g. Mapbox, which requires an API key?

Thanks for your feedback.
And those people should perhaps listen to the episodes to see that it was far from uncritical, or they will ironically continue in the same ignorance they claim the show to have.

To me, "regulations" either means there is a regulator directly issuing rules and orders to the regulated industry, or a legislature manages the rule set through occasional legislation.

This is quite different from laws protecting property, where all the state does is settle property disputes.

In slogan form, one is "rule of man" vs "rule of law".
While a government can't necessarily provide these, it can certainly deny them.
Having an enormous DOM due to too much inline tags and CSS is something that site builders are plagued with. It bottles down to the fact that there's no dynamic elements to the site builders, they edit static HTML and that requires everything customized to be in-lined. It's not uncommon to see a single page have more than 2000 DOM elements, thus giving warnings in the browser console about performance issues..
Wasn’t IE6 a great browser? The best even?

The way I’ve heard the story is that by the time of firefox, IE6 was still a really good browser, it had just stayed stagnant for a little too long, and bundled got with Microsoft’s monopolistic behavior.

I think there are more parallels between late IE6 and present day Chrome then you give credit for.
Rarely do they release the assets with the open sourcing of the engine. If you want those they tend to want you to pay for the game and then pull the assets out to put in your build.

Thinking about this problem again kinda nerd-sniped me, so sharing a brain-dump here.

The first one: any type that fulfills the trait bounds set by the definer of the trait, makes sense here. If we want all associated types of ! uniformly to map a single type, the only possible choice would be !, because we are trying to define it here so that it fullfills all possible trait bounds. Another choice would be the "top" type: a generic T (module the trait bounds). Here, the type inference would give up, as it would have no information about the type, and user of the trait would need to fill in whatever type they desire in this specific type-level expression. Any other type would be kinda arbitrary, and not maximally expressive in either way.

That the user would need to select a type, is an interesting choice in the sense, that <! as Foo> would not be a valid expression in that case. It would need to be something like <! as Foo<AssocType=MyType>>, which is intriguing to me: the user of the trait would become basically an implementor of it, and passing ! to anywhere with a bounded generic type T: Foo, would instantiate
not only the type T with !, but also the trait Foo with <AssocType=MyType>!

The second and the third ones: these are even tougher, as they are expressions that produce values. Rust doesn't guarantee that someone who has a type can produce a value of that type just by the virtue of having the type. But mimicking the first case, one could either imagine that they are panicking expressions of type !, which, confortably is a subtype any type, and thus any associated expression! But panicking in such cases sounds a bit awful from resiliency perspective. Another one is that again, like with the second case, the user would instantiate the trait Foo itself with <ASSOC_CONST=CONST> or <assoc_fn=func>. This would be also maximally flexible.

However, instantiating traits by setting their "parameters" is not something that Rust currently has. To be able to do that in generic code, one must also have a way to propagate such instantiated traits (e.g. from output to input). One could maybe do this without introducing "trait variables" or anything like that, by just tracking where type variables go. Still, it's a whole new consept in the already complex and hard to understand trait system.
Not sarcasm perhaps but I sense a confusion between “having good life” and “feeling happy” - there’s a huge difference between those.
I don’t understand the sarcasm. Those resources cost Oracle money, and they give them for free to researchers. A mention in return is very reasonable.
The reason CEOs are paid well is because they have an important and risky job. And if they bring success by their actions, they totally deserve their millions.

But if the company/organization is doing poorly, the CEO doesn't deserve the high pay. And having the pay reduced, or even not being paid at all for a time if it can help the company is one of the risks CEO should be able to take. It is not unfair for their families if they planned for it in advance instead of taking their high pay for granted. You can save a lot when you are being paid millions.

I'm not rich, but I'm comfortable.

Most of my choices, and certainly all of my major life choices (like where to live, what car to drive, what job to take) are still based around money.

Edit: good points in the responses. I don't worry about eating out, what to order, what brand of sundry to buy. I do try to optimize but as others have said, that's more of a desire than a requirement.

Having said that, I think the only people who truly never worry about money are children. I've heard stories about international students at universities whose parents buy them luxury car after luxury car when they crash them, that kind of thing. But I suspect it's pretty rare.
>But why force his religious views on other people?

Because religion is also a theory about how society should live, what is sacred/holy/profane/immoral/etc, not just what someone believes for themselves.

Plus, in a sense, he doesn't force his religious views on other people. He asks other people not to step on his religious concept (the marriage as a specific sacred mystery / holy union with specific rules, etc).

Now his objection might be outdated, but it's not some outlandish idea the "beyond the pale" kind, like being in the KKK. Just a few decades ago (not in some ancient ages) most of the US (not to mention the global population) would have agreed with this, including many progressives otherwise. Heck, it wasn't even one of the major demands of gay activists themselves back in the day.
Absolutely this. I was a Nokia/Symbian fan back when it actually was the industry best. The real problem was that iPhone and Android came around and started executing like 100x faster than Symbian ever did. Nokia was too used to working with software on a Symbian timeline, and it took them too long to see that their only options were to learn to execute on Symbian improvements at that speed (probably not practical), give up Symbian and adopt Android (becoming essentially a vassal of Google), or get buried.

They dawdled and ignored the problem for too long, and were left with selling to Microsoft and adopting their mobile OS as the only semi-plausible way to maintain a strong market position. Both Nokia and Microsoft's efforts ended up being too little, too late.
Well in the context that we are living in a time when 'comedians' openly 'joke' about genociding white people on television without censure I don't think my comment is that bad.
Hey, thanks for checking it out!

Definitely planning to randomize the order. This is next on my todo list whenever I get back around to this site.

Adding your own choices is tricky UX-wise, because if person A votes, then person B votes and adds a new choice, person A's vote never took the new choice into account. When using this personally with friends, I've just aggressively solicited ideas beforehand to get around this. Definitely not a perfect solution though.

I really like the "I'm not voting for this" idea. Also, that would let you just click your votes in order, rather than having to sort a list. Will explore this idea!
