Cost of a colonoscopy is roughly $3000 in the US, and many insurance providers won't cover the costs of this procedure prior to 50 if not recommended by a doctor. Your doctor will need a reason to prescribe before 50.

Colonoscopy is an entire "line of business". And my insurance provider, CareFirst, balks at Cologuard as an alternative, even though it is less than 1/3 the cost of a standard colonoscopy.

Well, it was originally intended as satire (hence the reference to Jonathan Swift in the subject line) - even though its logic makes some kind of sense, it is completely impractical :-) I do have a bit of sketchy software that compares various times (local apparent solar time, local mean solar time, standard/daylight time, smoothed sunrise-based time, times of sunrise/noon/sunset) but I have never found a good enough reference for the astronomical calculations to be happy with it.
Sunk cost fallacy writ large.
Laptops have key advantage over ultra small form factor PCs (e.g. NUC) that they are fully self-contained computers that could be used anywhere without any other component. For many people, such advantage can be more important than other disadvantages.

This is clearly not true for this kind of keyboard computers, they require monitor a and power like ultra small form factor PCs or other desktop PCs. So my point is that i do not see any advantage for them to outweight disadvantages of such setup.
A lot of people are still using that part of a regex no matter what - I still run into this regularly (and have been, for two decades now).

"There is some danger that common usage and widespread sloppy coding will establish a de facto standard for e-mail addresses that is more restrictive than the recorded formal standard."

This is EXACTLY it. Both in the local part, and in TLDs - nothing clever about people being too clever by half, and generating false negatives on their input side.
It doesn't even succeed in showing readers how not to be a jerk: "Present facts and evidence neutrally, the experts say."

A god may have facts, but we mortals have only evidence, and theories that explain the evidence more or less well. Is this not the central principle of science?

But following scientific explanations requires certain skills, such as mathematics. And the mass media, including even Scientific American, do not print equations. So popular journalists treat scientists as, in effect, alternative gods, whose opinions may be weighted according to prestige, or by how well they flatter reader's prejudices, but cannot be otherwise tested or analyzed.

Conspiracy theorists merely take more or less this same dysfunction to its extreme: a circle of Youtube pseudo-scientists, perfect conformity to reader's prejudices, and perhaps no numbers at all.
One of my colleagues got that email. It seems to be saying something quite different to the blog post and the billing documentation, and I don't understand how they fit together.

Even if the email is accurate, which is the better scenario, though, 1000 credits is 100 minutes of Linux build time (or 50 on Windows, 20 on Mac). Which is not much for any but the smallest projects.

It rather reminds me of the old TRS-80 Color Computers I used to use, though the keyboard on those old beasts was far better than this.

It might be neat to get one to turn into a C64/CoCo/etc emulation box that you "just plug into the TV" like the old days..
> since they could always just dismiss me as "in on it" whenever I said something they didn't like.

I get this same effect when talking about vanilla non-conspiratorial things, agree with their concerns, and I've been asked what I think. Since I don't tow their party line by focusing my attention on the same bad people, I'm "othered" and written off. This is more pronounced when talking to people on the red team than people on the blue team, but happens with both.

A simple example is "GPS satellites tracking your phone". Trying to explain to people that the GPS satellites only transmit, but that it's applications on your phone spilling your location, so there are steps you can personally take to avoid that - it just doesn't work. It's like my model of the situation doesn't fit into their model, and rather than doing the work to understand what I'm saying, they'd rather continue with their comforting simplistic answer that generally combines defeatism with condemnation.

> I'm not sure what the best strategy for fighting this kind of weird mass idiotic groupthink is

If anyone has any ideas please share them. For basically any social movement, when I see it gets some traction I'll think finally people are starting to care. But then as things progress, the movement takes on a life of its own and heads in the wrong direction without fail. It's like instead of staying focused on the problem, opportunists looking for power supply a "solution" that steers the crowd into an easy non-answer to benefit themselves. And it doesn't take many of them, because once the red herring becomes the groupthink dogma, pointing out its problems gets you othered.

I think the catastrophe we're now experiencing is from the wave of "normies" discovering conspiracy theories. Early Internet denizens went through this phase a long time ago, and had to contextualize wild theories within mainstream thought. Even if we found them very compelling, we couldn't just rant to everyone we met. But now that everyone and their aunt is on faceboot, not only can you repeat all the nonsense you've heard without being socially ostracized, you will actually gain popularity from it!
I guess you technically could, because the handle your LSP returns is entirely up to it.

Haven't thought about microkernels in a couple of decades :), but yes, I can see how what you are saying could work since the handle will technically be a duplicatable kernel handle. It might be better for the service (or subsystem in NT microkernel terminology) to have a driver so that the client can reference it with a proper, dedicated handle, but that's a bit beyond my wheelhouse as to which approach is better.

Edit: Completely forgot about ws2ifsl.sys which is a driver that exists just to give Non-IFS providers a kernel handle with the WPUCreateSocketHandle() call !
(It feels important to point out that my post is based on the text above, not based on having read the document being referred to nor the full context of the document. A company that would, say, require 100% of the employees to sign a document saying, in effect, that "everyone has inherent predilections towards folk they most relate to" and that "here we expect everyone to rise above that" would be pretty cool but what was described seemed weird to me.)

I would guess that they have a treatment system that isn't big enough, and they pump in unfiltered water to make up the difference when the treatment plant cannot keep up.

Even in the US I know of cities that have had boil orders because the treatment plant couldn't keep up and they pumped in untreated water. The cases I know of the unfiltered water made it in via weather events (the treatment plant is on the river and it flooded. Also a case where the power went out on a big surge and so they hardwired the pumps to the well bypassing treatment until the treatment controller boards could be replaced.)
Most other subways will just stop services on a segment and use buses to fill the gap.

Some of the '80s home micros like the Sinclair ZX81 and ZX Spectrum and the Atari 400 had keyboards which were dire by modern standards, or in fact by contemporary standards. Even the "mechanical" keyboards with full travel tended to be disappointing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNa2UdagTGU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sN8WHp_QmoE . In comparison the RPi 400's keyboard is probably well above the mean. Still we might see some third-party replacement cases with mechanical keyboards, like the ones which came out for the ZX81: https://k1.spdns.de/Vintage/Sinclair/80/Peripherals/Keyboard... https://k1.spdns.de/Vintage/Sinclair/80/Peripherals/Keyboard... .

This reminds me in Japanese museums you can see paintings depicting Japan’s involvements in WW2 as a noble effort to liberate Asia. And meanwhile in mainland China everything about how the current party comes to power would inevitably be in rose-colored lenses if you look through the official sources. This makes one skeptical if all these historical war-related events that we still have records of actually happened as described. And as a Chinese I started to doubt how much things recorded in Shiji from 84BC (aka “The Records”, and has been called a "foundational text in Chinese civilization”) was actually true. I guess such is the dilemma of postmodernism.
Thats just incompetence.
Did you have access to the entire source code and understanding of all services running the system? Capping could have been done by a service created by a team you wouldn't have access to and without knowledge something like that even exist (and rightfully so, as it would take one whistleblower to harm the business). So I am not surprised you would write that there was no such facility.

> Somehow, enforcement of property rights works quite well (not perfect, but well enough) for just about any property that can be legally stored on public ground, just bicycles are an exception.

like what? the only thing I can think of that wouldn't be immediately stolen if left outside is a car. I don't find that cops care much about auto theft either. the main reason cars don't get stolen too often is because the VIN is associated with an owner and a license plate. police don't have to actively pursue car thieves to make it not worthwhile. I don't think any such system exists for bicycles, and I'm not sure it would be desirable anyway. "ownership" of a bicycle and other items of similar value can usually be transferred with an exchange of cash and a firm handshake, which seems about right to me.
You don't necessarily need to plan from scale from the start. Often you just need a few servers, a load balancer, a database, some file storage, internal networking, user permissions, and some level of security/firewall. That is very easy to set up on AWS in a day or two, and you don't need all your engineers to simultaneously be devops experts.

The scale can happen once you've validated your startup, and when that happens it's a lot easier to just turn on 30 more EC2 instances than to get on the phone with Dell.
Wow, I didn't know this existed. I had the itch to play some of the games of my childhood a while ago (mostly roguelikes and interactive text adventures), but was too lazy to set up Dosbox. To be able to run them from my browser is just great.
I don't understand why you need "machine learning" for that. The engineers already have fea models which they build reduced order dynamic equations out of. By monitoring the response, you can estimate the damping factor relatively easily which could provide the feedback whether your shocks need to be replaced.

I mean some people take machine learning to include anything with parameter fitting, but it seems like classic engineering to me.

I've had similar issues with AdSense. Running a site for 10 years, and it was earning $250/day for years, then suddenly it dropped. For a while I had the same traffic and instead of 500 clicks a day Google would say I had 3 or 4 clicks. I contacted them, waited a month, and they said to label them "Advertisements" so users are not confused.

Well, my site is mostly text based and I have at least 50px of space around any advertisement, so they stick out like a sore thumb and are not confusing. Eventually the daily clicks returned, but then in the last year Google started taking back 80% of my revenue at the end of the month saying it's "Invalid Traffic". This is after years of it being around 5%. I've made no changes to the site, all the traffic is organic from Google search or direct visitors. I've never once in my life paid for traffic.

I contacted Google again, but they refused to give any information because they can't share specifics for security reasons. So, I'm left losing 80% of my revenue this year and instead of making about 50k after my bills, I'll break even or make a loss.

Since then I tried switching to another company that's an AdSense partner. Of course they take a commission, but apparently they can actually show me the daily earnings with "Invalid Traffic" removed, and not give me a monthly heart attack and remove all my revenue as a surprise at once.

So, I can see how little I'm making on a daily basis now, but I'm no closer to resolving the issue because Google refuses to give any answers, so I'm completely on my own and taking shots in the dark.

The other week I tried building a database of 800 million IP addresses using lists of all IP addresses from datacenters, VPNs, proxies, TOR exit nodes, and IPs flagged as abusive. This obviously took some time to setup and I stopped showing ads to these IPs because maybe they're bad sources of traffic? That didn't seem to help.

Then I tried setting up some Javascript to not load ads until the mouse moved or a user scrolled. Maybe that would help to prevent any traffic where a user is not at the computer? Nope, didn't work.

So, I'm out of ideas. Yes, I have ads.txt configured. Yes, I have a consent manager configured.

> Your revenue is the literal sum of earnings from every click on your property. While ads are showing and being clicked on, you will always be earning more.

What you said sounds simple. However, like I said, Google can randomly drop my clicks from a consistent 500 a day to 3 and give no answers. Or, they can tell me I'm earning $250/day and then when it comes time to pay a month later, they say they can only pay $50/day and the traffic didn't meet their standards. That's a big problem when they just spent the entire month outbidding all my other advertisers.

Lastly, the site I run is filled with great people. It's a community based website with tens of millions of comments. Users on average spend 10 minutes per session, the bounce rate is incredibly low, the average user loads 30 pages a day. People like it, it's full of quality content and posts, and users are writing new comments every few seconds.

"Funky"? These things are two decades old by now. There have been multiple generations of communication protocols since this became standard - and yet still people consider this some weird aberration, even the 4-letter TLDs.

Indeed, fallback is still necessary - but it doesn't follow "meh, just go back to the 3-letter maximum, because a lot of people still live in 1999."
I don't think that's correct. The GDPR retention policy sets out maximum retention time.

The guiding principle is that data should only be retained as long as is required to serve the purposes for which it was collected. So if your account is permanently terminated, there is probably an argument that GDPR requires the deletion of all data as soon as possible.
