Medically, anaesthesia is a "balanced triad" of three elements: analgesia (pain relief), narcosis (sleepiness), and muscle relaxation. It's a spectrum: we talk about having various "planes" of anaesthesia that are in principle relatively woolily defined but in practice oddly specific. An example would be the difference between a "light" form of general anaesthesia for a relatively non-invasive procedure -- such as a broncoscopy, which can be performed under heavy sedation; and something where unexpected movement can have catastrophic effects, such as surgery on the spine. It is rare, but not terribly so, for some surgical stimuli to cause local responses or motion, even when the patient is "completely under", ignoring local reflex arcs which may (or may not!) be affected by the anaesthetic agent.

A good, modern anaesthetist in a western hospital has access to an incredible array of information about their patient, ranging from their complete physiological state to the partial pressures of anaesthetic gasses going into, and out of, their lungs (and thus in their blood stream). This largely means that the horror stories of the past about people "waking up and being unable to move" -- the triad becoming unbalanced and muscle relaxation ± analgesia being (barely) adequate, but narcosis clearly not -- remain in the past.

I've probably waffled incoherently enough, but it's worth reiterating that anaesthesia is a _field of medicine_ in its own right. There are literally thousands of approaches, drug combinations, and "gotchas" to deal with, in all sorts of situations -- right the way from the straightforward and simple to patients with massive facial injuries where it is very difficult to know how to intubate them without causing further damage. Drug combinations are prescribed on the basis of the patient, the indication, and local rules and availability (including toxicity to the operator and cost -- many anaesthetic gasses are carcinogenic if you're exposed to them for a long period of time in trace amounts, which occasionally becomes an issue).

Leave Google, use separate services. I solved it by purchasing my own domain address, moving from Gmail to Fastmail, replaced Android with iOS, replaced Chrome with Firefox, moved my passwords to 1Password, moved from Google Photos to iCloud (it automatically downloads all your pictures to your desktop as backup. There is no such thing for Google Photos).
WW2 is a special event in human history on its own. Taking that as a reference point to evaluate our sense of peace, is pretty damning.

Industrial and technological development prior to WW1 and WW2 enabled mass killing at an unprecedented level.

You might say, if we don't take it as a reference point to avoid in our spectrum of peace. But then again, I am not sure there will be much of human history to talk about with another WW level conflict. So that makes the whole point of using that as a reference pretty mute. Because then it is just accepting we are living in verge of armageddon. Pretty low standards of peace if you ask me.

I would say it's the inverse - PS3 had unique HW that's hard to emulate on new consoles, PS4 -> PS5 should be straightforward and can probably be done on system level, I suspect this trend will continue to next gen cloud gaming.

> The pure electric car market still feels like the hybrid market, which is to say, there was the big-selling Prius, and then pretty much nothing else that sold well.

That's not a very up-to-date view. If you go to a car dealer and look at new cars, most of them are hybrid now in some shape. Even the Corolla is now a hybrid car.

Sure, it's not about signalling green hipness anymore. For hybrids it's just economics. You fill your tank half as often, that's it. Not sexy, but wallet.

It will be similar with electric. Once you just conveniently charge at home, you don't need this periodic stop at a gas station anymore. And people will go on with their lives, eventually accepting it as the new norm, without thinking about it.
I knew a translator who worked for the EU high commission as a live translator. I asked her about translating books: "Knowing two cultures and languages in such intimate detail that you can know a book and translate it in any meaningful way for the princely sum of ten thousand pounds...no".

She compared it to poetry, you agonise over certain phrases and the thousands of years of history that phrase has and all its cultural meaning and all you've got is "he bonked him on the head".

She conceded that any translation was better than none as there are ideas out there, hidden, that need to spread and are limited only by language and time.

I just discovered Mullvad (just a VPN provider) and for some reason, they don't have "English" in the list of languages available for their site.

So they redirected me to the Dutch version because I'm in a nominally Dutch-speaking region, and I had no option to get it in English. I had to go with half-translated French until I noticed that I could replace the "fr" in the URL with "en", and actually get to an English-language website.

The region-based redirection was annoying enough, and the half-assed translation job was expected, but not even providing an easy way to get back to English is really idiotic.

I still wish I had some kind of system that would automatically use a connection in the right country for geoblocked content. For now I just use SSH proxies to (my own) strategically located servers combined with Firefox Containers and Container Proxies, but it's all manual.

Probably local phlebitis. Propofol is a milky emulsion and is very lipid soluble (that's what makes it a good, blood-brain-barrier crossing agent!) but occasionally does cause side effects [1] --- I understand, particularly if it gets outside of the vessel at all.

I similarly purchased my own domain (an absolutely crucial step for everyone), moved to Fastmail (which I like much better than Gmail, it's just so much faster!), use BitWarden, replaced Chrome with Firefox, and use Nextcloud for photo backup.

While fasting can be very beneficial, be careful if you're going to do it for long periods. A few days is ok but I wouldn't recommend anyone fasting longer without supervision.

David Blaine almost dies after 44 days of fasting. Not because of the fasting but because of how they fed him afterwards. He also say he hasn't recovered and his body sometimes acts weird. There's a clip of him talking about this on Joe Rogan Podcast.
Been my experience that these vary widely depending on hydration levels. Also I’ve heard/read, and I’m not sure how accurate this is, you can think of ketones in urine as ‘overflow’ and thus aren’t always an accurate portrayal of how much your body is producing.

On top of that, your body gets more efficient at using ketones as an energy source over time so your urine ‘overflow’ can spike at various points just because your body consumes less ketones for it’s energy needs. All of that is latent knowledge from random reading over the last 4 or so years, so grain of salt and all that.

> It’s a physiological state that’s objectively quite hard to enter.

No, it isn't. The human body developed to bounce in and out of ketosis all the time. It's only hard to enter if you are always in a fed state and rarely in a fasted state. When you're fasting, it's not particularly hard to get back into ketosis in the same day, although it can take 24 to 48 hours for someone who isn't getting even light exercise. That's still way, way faster than the weeks it can take to get into ketosis on keto. (unless maybe you want to eat mostly protein and little fat, which is miserable)

I speak from extensive experience. A few weeks ago, after a 72 hour fast, I chowed on a pile of salmon sushi, measured my ketones throughout the day with ketone test strips, and was back in dark purple by the end of the night. Though normally it takes until the next morning for ketones to start showing up in my urine again, I believe it happened much faster because I was walking a lot that day. That was impossible to do back when I was just eating strict keto macros.

Anyone who doesn't believe me should try themselves by doing a few 72 hour fasts and refeeding on high protein, moderate carbs. They'd be surprised that it doesn't take an unreasonable amount of time to get back into ketosis. It's a perspective changer because it shows that occasionally eating carbs socially isn't the end of the world, because you'll be back in fat burning mode within a day or so.
Of course everyone's body is different so you may be fine but 5~8 l for an average person migt be too much. For me personally it might seem crazy looking back to my high school years where I reguralry drank less than 1 litre on days with no physical activities, but I know I was fine back then and was not thirsty.

General advice I have seen is to drink when thirsty and more on hot days, or drink so much that your urine is slightly yellow but not all transparent. Drinking too much water flushes out more minerals from your body. A woman have died after drinking too much water for a contest [0], but that is of course an extremen example. It can happend though.

I'm unclear if you're imagining here a scholarly article about a heart surgery, or a press release from the university hospital saying it was done.

Research happens all the time without formal publication - it makes sense that there are different standards. I am proposing that there it would be beneficial for science to have journals with a modestly higher standard.

The Marshall plan was largely an economic stimulus package not a military strategy. Regarding military strategy the current US military policy objectives (wikipedia) are:
to (1) assure allies and friends; (2) dissuade future military competition, (3) deter threats and coercion against U.S. interests, and (4) if deterrence fails, decisively defeat any adversary.

Now you could argue that these objectives are meant ensure global piece, but then you need to show that. In particular do you need to show how US starting several wars (including the ones that were not called wars for political reasons), largely based on economic reasons, does maintain global peace.
Excellent idea. I've bookmarked your comment so I know how to bookmark other comments in the future. Thanks :)
And the Swiss railways operate high-speed trains for those links with neighbouring countries- their routes to Milan, Venice and Frankfurt use trains capable of 250 km/h (ETR610 or Giruno), though they only travel at 200 km/h within Switzerland.

You should never have a single backup of anything. Google storage is nice, but you should duplicate everything you put there (also true for any other storage service).
Apparently, still not going in the direction of OpenID where the end-user specifies (in an open-ended way) his authorization provider instead of choosing from a handful of big well-known providers (Google/Facebook/Github) handpicked by the relying party.

Not surprised, but still disappointed.
Because your spaceship has to generate heat for various systems - at the very least, to keep its occupants alive. That heat, unlike on Earth, really stands out against the cold of space. You can hide the emissions of many vehicles on Earth, because Earth and its atmosphere is pretty warm compared to space in the first place. But in space all you need to do is look for heat signatures(infrared and others) and you will spot any vessel immediately.

Some Sci-Fi has tried addressing it with plausible ideas - like for instance dumping all heat into shielded internal tanks, which have to eventually be vented(so that stealth cannot be infinite because you run out of heat storage capacity on board).

We do this with C#. Layers upon layers of abstractions that ultimately wind up in data-driven points of control that align perfectly with the business questions. This allows for someone to reconfigure their business workflow application by logging into a web portal and adjusting a few settings. For instance, if our application were used in a retail environment, we would have a way to add and remove products from inventory using a web-based workflow as opposed to sending a change request to developers each time.

Ultimately, the key to producing a low code solution for us is to identify all of those points of change across business owners and contexts, and then to expose them in a way that the business owners are able to understand and manage themselves. This is never a perfect solution but you can usually get very close to no-code after a while.

Also, you can never start with a low/no-code solution. You have to start with the option of full-custom and slowly work your way into low/no-code. Developing Data-driven contracts which implement the various aspects of the business processes are the key to moving the slider down the spectrum.

I've seen those with AWS certifications be unable to put anything together on AWS and I've seen exceptional engineers with plenty of production AWS experience fail the certifications.

Security experts fail to get CISSP qualifications, while those who can barely use a computer pass. The security industry considers CISSP to be a bit of a joke for this reason.

This sort of certification is in my experience, sought out by those who don't have much else to show, and therefore is often correlated with not being very good. You can learn by rote and pass with no understanding to tick an easy box.

I think it's a shame GitHub is getting into this, but cynically it makes sense for them.
Money. A new walled garden is a new opportunity for developers to make money, with little competition (at first). Then when it gets big and there’s tons of competition, the company can stop caring about the developers and still make a pile of money.

It’s going to keep happening because walled gardens appeal to human nature. Everyone (users, developers) wants the immediate benefits, but only the company reaps long-term. The only solution is to fix human nature.
Who chose to move to the US when it was time build something great (as is true for several founders of great 'American' companies). America's (historic) greatness didn't come from Americans necessarily being the best and the brightest, but from convincing the best and the brightest from all over the world that America was the country where they wanted to build their dream.
Even if they did, for such a big service there would be a long transition period. E.g. 2 years, so you could move somewhere else.
'Society' is not a real thing, even if people treat it as one. Society does not like or dislike, cannot be informed or uninformed. It is just a collective term. Like government. Its a figment in people's imagination, a term, or an idea - brought to life only because we in aggregate believe it to be true and act as if it is. Personally, I don't consider these ideas to have substance in the way they are presented.

The reality, is that 'society' is made up of individuals. Individuals are substantially real. Individuals need to choose for themselves whether they want to be informed or not, according to their conscience.

Individuals should also step out of other people's business, ie stop trying to manage 'society'! But that's another story.

Don't know about the "lubricant and cleanser", but it has two relevant scientifically verifiable properties:

1. It's fat, which helps get fat soluble vitamins (if you take them while fasting) digested and metabolized.

2. Butter at least (likely ghee too, but I'm not sure) is full of butyrate, the metabolites of which are heavily involved in ketosis in humans (and is hypothesized to promote ketosis, though I don't know if that was conclusively demonstrated)

The additional mandatory fees are around 30% https://sv.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbetsgivaravgifter_i_Sverig...

So with 4 kEUR gross salary you end up at 5.2 kEUR cash costs. Then there are also non-cash costs, like 5 weeks of paid holidays (or did unions actually achieve the 6th one? It's 30 years I lived in Sweden...)

And you might need an office, equipment, and what not. So the cost can easily be 6-7 kEUR even if the developer sees only 4 kEUR on their payslip.

A few might earn (significantly) more. But that's more likely in corporations higher levels than for open source related development work.
You have a vote on how the corporation or REIT is run. You can also sell your shares, and buy shares in an outfit more aligned with your interests. There are lots of companies to choose from.
This is a perfect analogy.

HTTP/2 over cleartext uses an HTTP/1.1 Upgrade header field, yes, so that it’s an extra request. But HTTP/2 over TLS can use application-layer protocol negotiation (ALPN) so that the HTTP/2 negotiation piggybacks on the TLS handshake: the TLS ClientHello includes “I speak h2”, and the ServerHello response includes “OK, let’s do h2”.

HTTP/3 negotiation I’m not certain about. Its existence can be broadcast with an Alt-Svc header on an HTTP response, but that means that the browser won’t use HTTP/3 for the first request. I think that might be what browsers are doing now (rather than racing TCP and UDP). But I think the direction things are heading is to optionally advertise this stuff over DNS as well, which would allow browsers to go straight to HTTP/3 if the relevant DNS records say it’s OK to: https://blog.cloudflare.com/speeding-up-https-and-http-3-neg....
