I suspect this is true of many industries, including aircraft and car manufacturing. And I suspect the quality issues in the French nuclear industry were, very broadly speaking (trying not to equivocate), similar to issues in nuclear industries elsewhere.[1] As quality control and analysis become better, you're often going to belatedly realize that earlier claims fell short. As a rule of thumb I always add a fudge factor to any sales pitch. For example, whatever the 2020 nuclear industry claims today, let's just assume what they can deliver is what they were selling in 2000. And I'm comfortable with what they were selling circa 2000 in terms of safety, as I suspect many others were, too. Nuclear wasn't "unsafe" in 2000, neither in reality nor on paper. With the benefit of hindsight it's clear it was less safe than claimed, an effect hindsight has on most things. But the evidence regarding nuclear has been clear for quite awhile: safety is very good, with large and ever growing margins for error.

[1] Fukushima being an obvious example. I'm neither an engineer nor nuclear cynic, but I was always skeptical of the claims nuclear engineers were making on the news in their self-defensive and, ultimately, self-defeating attempts to mitigate panic. They were far too credulous of engineering tolerances and quality control despite the evidence piling up in front of them regarding the probability of the supposedly improbable. Anyone remotely familiar with any kind of construction project knows things always fall short in the field.

I searched google scholar for “vitamin d meta analysis”. I skimmed the abstracts. These are some of the earlier results.

It seems supplements help but randomised controlled trials are needed: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullar...

“Vitamin D supplementation appears to reduce the risk of falls among ambulatory or institutionalized older individuals with stable health by more than 20%” http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.578...

Oral vitamin D supplementation between 700 to 800 IU/d appears to reduce the risk of hip and any nonvertebral fractures in ambulatory or institutionalized elderly persons. An oral vitamin D dose of 400 IU/d is not sufficient for fracture prevention. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/20087...

High levels of vitamin D among middle-age and elderly populations are associated with a substantial decrease in cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. If the relationship proves to be causal, interventions targeting vitamin D deficiency in adult populations could potentially slow the current epidemics of cardiometabolic disorders. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S03785...

————————————

At this point I got bored of looking at results (I omitted a few which only looked for correlations).

So while there is some evidence of some benefits for some people, I didn’t find evidence of vitamin d being the magic panacea that it sometimes feels it is claimed to be by people on the internet.

> Money laundering is a legal term that requires an illicit origin.

I'm not 100% sure if it requires both an illicit source and intent to conceal or not. It might, but it sounds like we both have half the definition.

For instance, structuring -- breaking apart large transactions into smaller ones to avoid a currency transaction report -- is illegal regardless of whether the source of funds is criminal or not.

Lifetime wasn't the discussion at hand, though. The topic was the validity of protections at all.

People have a lingering hatred on for the RIAA, and maybe rightfully so, from the Napster trials and so on from the early 2000's and I think they let it blind them to the history of music and creators' rights in North America.

The assumption that musicians are all a bunch of greedy sods making it filthy rich, undeservingly, is pretty awful. The reality is they get robbed often.

(And people get all hot under the collar when it comes to licensing of performances and broadcasts because they want to rant about the RIAA, but that's not really their wheelhouse—that's more the domain of organizations like SOCAN, ASCAP, BMI, etc, and they do a lot for artists).

But who am I kidding. It's 2020. Everywhere I look, people want their music, films, and journalism for free while they proceed to whip the creators for whatever faults they find with the creation or research...

You'd have to be very familiar with the way authorities perpetuate abuse and protect the abuser before you start down that road.

Who ends up in detention, suspended from school or sent home? The victim. The abuser will have a sob story to tell, will claim their victim "started it", and then through various effects such as the Othello error the authorities will come to view the victim as the person who needs behavioural adjustment.

How do you determine the "behavioural and character traits" of someone you don't know?

You're asking an awful lot of a science you don't understand, in a field of social interaction you are clearly not familiar with.
TeXmacs can export formulae in MathJax format--there is a setting for that; I have been able to copy formulae to the clipboard (using right-click -> Copy to Clipboard, not by selecting) obtaining what seemed to me the correct LaTeX code. I do not know what is the standard for copying MathJax; I have see this thread of November 2019 (https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax/issues/2240) where someone states that " MathJax output can't be copied directly from the page in version 3", so perhaps the copying of the output with the right click menu is the standard now.
TeXmacs can also export to MathML, I tested it and the output was not satisfactory there.

UAV Software Prioritizes Human Safety

Almost all voting in America uses software to some extent. Whether it is the counting machines, Scantron readers or electronic voting booths, we are already using software.

What more software could do though, is create more transparency. And I can't believe I'm saying this, but this may actually be one of those cases where blockchain could be useful.

It is absolutely absurd to me that we have thousands of non-experts deciding to keep or throw out ballots based on comparing a signature.

With a more electronic method, a citizen's vote could be signed with a key generated from a few unique identifiers like social security number, numbers in your street address and maybe a credit card number. My vote could then be forever logged in the blockchain. This could create more transparency because everyone could see and count the votes.

After voting, you could also give every voter a "receipt" where they could go online and check in the public blockchain to confirm that their vote was counted successfully.

And I don't think we would need any sort of shared and distributed blockchain. Just a public one that can be verified by 3rd parties.

AWS has a managed blockchain service that I'm sure would work fine.

So while it may not be a good idea to open the actual voting to the entire public internet, that doesn't mean that sound math and technology couldn't be used to make elections more transparent and thus, secure.

Not sure what's ugly about it: it looks nicer and cleaner than most of the websites I see. I'm also not quite sure what's an "app platform", but this seems to be some sort of a web publishing service, and there's a bug on page creation: it leads to a 404 error page (possibly it requires JS, but doesn't say so, and works without it otherwise).

Edit: Noticed the docs page [1]. There's some scripting, so the uploaded pages are rather PHP-style scripts/apps, hence the "app platform", probably. Might be useful to link the documentation from the main page.

I would wait until the Danish health authorities actually publicate their findings. This is not a statement made by pseudo-scientists. While I don't know his credentials I don't see why I should trust him more than Statens Serum Institut. So I guess the question is if Denmark is alarmist or if this person is the opposite.
I get this [1] when googling.

Fair enough. More transparency is certainly a worthwhile goal, however, this rests on the basic assumption that a consumer always has the opportunity to make a rational choice between different alternative products or services (drugs, medical procedures, etc).

From what I've read, I doubt this is the problem in practice. Are you going to compare prices during a medical emergency? If your doctor tells you that you need an X-ray, will you stop him and check the nearby hospitals whether their X-rays are cheaper? How useful is price transparency if your essential medication is only made by a single company that can do arbitrary price hikes? What do you do if the "market rate" for some essential operation is still more than you can afford?

Well that's kinda the crux of the issue, isn't it? Some people, including myself, actually disagree with you here. I actually find it absolutely fine, and I like that it forces me to think more about my architecture.

> To your example, there are many places where public day care would be extremely controversial because people just don't believe in taxes nor the government taking care of kids. They are already often skeptical of public schools. Frankly, the main difference between Colorado in 2012 and 2018 is probably more to do with demographic shifts than how "radial" the policy is.

> In a nutshell I'm saying, all of it, everything comes down to these basic beliefs. There can be no conversation about what the government do if one side believes the government should be trusted with nothing. There can be no conversation about what we should do with tax dollars if one side believes there should be no taxes. There can be no conversation about how to reform drug policy if one side only believes in strict punishment.

I wonder how true memes like this really are. Indeed, various statistics and observations of what people literally say can easily lead one to form this sort of conclusion, without being terribly unreasonable. However....if one had the means of sitting down with literally each individual in these groups for a very long, non-combative heart to heart discussion, would one find that the heuristic estimates of them are completely bang on, or might there be some noteworthy differential between how we perceive people to be, and how they really are (or could be after some high quality discussion)?
Is it to much to ask to talk about the actual article?

This article has nothing to do about minks and animal abuse.

This is a pandemic on track to kill 10's of millions of people.

Minks and farming is topic talked about constantly around the world for many decades. Attractive models made it cool, we get it. Plenty of article are posted on HN about animal rights.

No farmed animals social distance, so how intensive it is is irreverent. In fact because it's intensive an outbreak is immediately known, which is good. There is no segue here. How can we talk about things at an educated level when everything gets demoted back to the base.

Prop 22 gives gig drivers a minimum wage and forces uber to pay for their healthcare if they drive enough hours. That is the reason it passed, if it didn't add protections to gig workers people wouldn't have voted yes to it.

Then why did people need so much money to make it pass if it is a good law most people like? Because there is so much misinformation going around about prop 22! Even in this thread most people still think that prop 22 means drivers wont have healthcare or minimum wage, meaning the Californian union lobbying got to most of you. They don't need money to spread misinformation, they just go to their journalist friends and gets biased articles written for free. How many articles were written which mentioned all the benefits prop 22 gave drivers? Not many, most just said it was so Uber could continue to oppress workers.
Shameless plug: http://imnaseer.net/paxos-from-the-ground-up.html

I worked on an explanation of Paxos where we start with a simple but incorrect implementation of the protocol. The bug is then fixed and the protocol refined. Which leads to another bug. Interestingly, after fixing 6 or 7 bugs we arrive at the actual working implementation of Paxos. The reader, having walked the path of arriving at the protocol (hopefully) understands the nuances better than just reading the description of the protocol from the get-go.

Bonus: The explanation uses simulated visual runs as well, eg. http://imnaseer.net/paxos-from-the-ground-up.html?section=3&...
Yeah, this is a big problem. A few years back there was white heroin being sold as cocaine in Amsterdam. So the Amsterdam government put up signs and issued warnings to call an ambulance immediatly if someone became unwell after using 'cocaine'.

Soon after it was discovered that a lot of American and British tourists were not doing this out of fear for getting arrested.

The Amsterdam government had to add a specific part to the signs (in English) saying you wouldn't be arrested if you called for help.

Creating a atmosphere of fear costs lives.

Thank you, this was a very informative reply and makes sense of what I've been seeing IRL. I live in Canada but our laws are almost always similar to the US.
IANAL, but I thought fraud was the act itself plus the intent to defraud.

Otherwise simple accounting errors would be criminal acts.
I've had a bit of a go at this, (although I didn't spend all that much time on it).

One thing that challenged my expectations was that it seems you need a lot more data than you might think. Lots of species only have a handful of samples on Xeno-Canto, and the field recordings need aggressive processing in order to isolate the relevant parts, which is hard to do that in an automated way without inadvertently destroying lots of your valuable training data.

The safe harbor under Section 512 applies to takedown requests for content copyrighted by the person issuing the notice. I don't think there is anybody asserting that the RIAA is the author of youtube-dl and thereby eligible to make a claim under that section.

I would also be curious to see you cite a case that says that refusing a takedown notice in one case costs anyone the Section 512 safe harbor in all other cases where they continue to execute takedown notices, since that would be oppressive and ridiculous.

I was going off this table: https://web.cgu.edu/faculty/gabler/toxicity%20Addiction%20of... (page 689), which does not include morphine. it's surprising that the margin is so much larger for morphine, since heroin is essentially a prodrug for morphine. the figures I found for morphine all seem to assume an oral ROA for morphine, but IV for heroin. perhaps that explains some of the difference? it could also be that the definition of "effective dose" is different in an abuse context vs. a medical one. also now that I go back and look more closely, it seems the TI of opioids is a fairly wide range, so my comment is not entirely correct as written.

I'm glad you brought up paracetamol as well. I find that people often overestimate how dangerous illicit drugs are, while at the same time being totally blase when it comes to stuff you can buy off the shelf at any pharmacy. frankly, I find tylenol kind of scary and try to use it only when absolutely necessary.
This whole thing isn't going to blow over until we have science fiction movie special effects foldable transparent displays with completely useless user interfaces that were designed by someone who doesn't have to use them daily but is suitably impressed by them anyway. (Think The Expanse)

It was all down hill after windows 2000. Every visual cue in user interfaces such as depth, separation, colour, accelerator underlining and consistency is gone. I feel like I'm stroking a hairless, cold and thoroughly deceased cat most of the time.

I suspect, much like most aspects of the human race, that the improvement will only come after a shitty UI causes an actual body count via some ambiguity. The post-mortem for those poor souls will be a couple of paragraphs in comp.risks digest.
This comment is also legendary misunderstood. He pointed out how trivial the idea was, which of course became a problem for dropbox when every tech company implemented it once they saw the demand for it and took its marketshare. Nowadays it's hard to consider dropbox as anything but a dying product of a dying company.
Games also require said GPU computing power. Lots of UI may have to conserve power/energy - think about some IoT device that may not even have GPU, and need to use as little as possible energy.
I suspect, like someone attempting to introduce cigarettes as a new product into today's market, that's quite intentional.
> Is this not evidence to support the assumption that sophisticated register allocation does not matter as much as we thought?

It's an indication but it doesn't sufficiently support the conclusion. There are so many other things to consider.

Would you as a scientist seriously accept this as a sufficient evidence for your claims?

But let's leave it at that for the moment. As far as I know there are ongoing research projects which could deliver more insights why specifically a Smalltalk VM runs faster on Gral than anywhere else.

There's a lot of stuff.

And the reason is that distributions usually build in support for a large amount of diverse hardware. These are modules (=m) where possible.

The motivation for this is: when you have that heart rate monitor, intertial measurement unit, magnetometer or something else, you just plug it in, the module gets loaded and the device just works.

Some things have to be =y and are unable to support =m.
