So there are two things to consider here:

1) The “observable window” is the entire installation time. If they make installs take forever, that’ll affect everyone which should raise alarms pretty quick.

2) The conditional execution is possible but the installation is done using a vanilla alpine container which will match many legitimate hosts too. And any fingerprinting activities that involve syscalls would be detected in the process.

All this to say, there’s always room to continue raising the bar!

The aging-related research has been going for quite some time, so it's not surprising it's starting to bear fruit, for now in the form of better understanding of the underlying mechanisms. The consensus seems to be shifting from "wear-and-tear model" to a series pre-programmed epigenetic alterations, which, to me at least as a layman, feels more plausible. There's a good chance we'll see some anti-aging treatments released within our lifetimes. We might end up being the first generation to have reached the longevity escape velocity.

The reason it's only starting to emerge now is as far as I understand that molecular biology is a relatively new field, and the related technologies simply didn't exist not so long ago.
With alcohol, your REM sleep is suppressed, and resting heart rate is quite a bit higher.

I watch my sleep cycles on my Garmin (and also track their 'body battery' thing, which I think is based on stress which is based on heart rate variability). If I have "some" drinks (eg, more than just 1 or 2 small ones), I can easily see how RHR is high and my recovery doesn't even BEGIN until say 3am. When you start tracking and watching those stats every day, you can see how different you feel when you get a good night's sleep. Vs an alcohol-aided-but-not-drunk-not-hungover sleep.

Are you from the pacific northwest by chance? My wife is and she will constantly apologize for things that are 100% the other person's fault. It really bugs me, especially because the other person will some times say, "oh it's ok" (as they are accepting her admission of guilt) and I usually say something like, "Honey, that wasn't your fault, you shouldn't be apologizing."

On the flip side, when someone runs in to me or steps on my foot or something, I'll usually just look at them, giving them an opportunity to politely say, "Sorry about that." My wife tells me that it is extremely rude when I do that, but that feels normal to me.

descriptively: Apple has enough market clout so that it (implicitly) thinks developers will pay the time cost to overcome the lack of documentation and save apple the time it would take to write the documentation. The lever isn't good/bad docs, it's the market dominance apple has in controlling access to high-spend customers.

Similarly, MS was notoriously hard to dev on during MS's period of market dominance. It's a lot more dev-friendly now because it doesn't dominate as much anymore.

I respect your courage but I have to disagree with your assessment of CSS vs real typography. Layout capabilities of CSS are orders of magnitude less extensive compared to those of TeX. For example it is nearly impossible to say, put a box 2/3 of the width of a container of unknown width. Just the simple task of centering an element has pages dedicated to it and to my knowledge, only CSS3 has a reasonably workable solution. As far as LaTeX's abilities as a programming language go, I have an interpreter for a reasonable subset of C written in TeX (it was an academic exercise but this is just to show what is possible). So it is much more than a mere markup language.

Researchers Built an App That Aims to Detect Covid19 by Listening to Your Coughs
I don't see HSR as a good alternative to air travel in a country as spread out as the US. a proper HSR route for the northeast corridor would be great; it's kind of ridiculous that a plane is the best way to get from boston to DC. when you start looking at traversing entire coasts, it's really hard for a train to compete with air travel. a non-stop flight from seattle to LA takes about two and a half hours, plus all the security nonsense. at 200mph, a train that makes zero stops would take about six hours. once you factor in travel to/from the airport and security, that's actually not too bad, but nonstop train routes are uncommon. the situation is even worse for cross-country flights. NY to LA is about six hours by plane; it would be about fourteen hours on a (highly unlikely) nonstop train.

frankly (as an east-coaster) I would be happy just to see the existing rail lines be price competitive with airlines. I greatly prefer traveling by train, and I would be willing to accept a longer transit time if it were not both slower and more expensive.

I'd argue the wind is blowing outward. Across the political spectrum, as the establishment parties are hollow shells of increasing extremism and the rest of America is a plurality of independents frustrated by the lack of anyone that can speak to them without left/right platitudes.
Editors can get away with things compilers can't- they are inherently interactive. If your editor gets it wrong, you can just fix it. If your compiler gets it wrong, you might get an error message, or weird behavior.

This is, for example, a major philosophy behind Rust's well-regarded error messages. The compiler rarely makes this kind of choice behind your back- instead, in reports an error message with a suggested fix-up for what it thinks you mean (and editor integration can apply those automatically).

Then the program source remains unambiguous and clear, there are fewer ways to confuse readers, but you still get all the benefits of "if your editor can do that, so could the compiler."
Maybe somebody wrote a requirement about that once, but it doesn't sound very practical. I know they were dreaming up a lot of fanciful things when they were setting the requirements though.

I think the actual shuttle had a life support capability for like 7 people. Not sure of the actual flight crew requirement, there's probably room for like 3-4 other guys. It can land on a runway, but it's gotta be really long, and there's only one shot, and it'll be really obvious and has no ability to evade defenses. No chance of it landing in Moscow unless the Russians let it. And then you'd be in the middle of a huge military base or something, and what are 4 guys going to do except be killed or captured immediately.

Maybe they could get there in an hour. From a specific launch pad in Florida, and if the shuttle is all set up to launch, which takes months. And it'll be blindingly obvious to everyone in the world that something just launched heading straight at Moscow.
This is a very idealistic view of the Prop 22 debate, and I encourage you take a more material analysis to this issue if you want to understand it.

"not all animals are raised as you claim" ... but 99% of chicken do.

The view I propose is rather sensible: causing pain and suffering to sentient beings is morally problematic. If we are in a position to not do that with no significant loss on our side, we ought to do it.

I am unsure what "bias bubble" I am in. For perspective, consider the millions of dollars corporations funding factory farms spend on hiding what happens ("Ag-Gag laws"). Consider the immense lobbying power they have exercised over the decades (advocating for milk and meat consumption in schools). If anything, the status quo may very well be in a "bias bubble".
Yes, the contract pushes the break forward, to happen at build time rather than waiting for run time.
Yeah, that's just mythology. The concept doesn't work out.

The shuttle did have a military requirement: the air force wanted to be able to launch into an orbit over the south pole, then up across Russia from the south, to return and land after that single orbit. That pretty much forced the use of wings that could glide, vs capsule style re-entry, and opened the path to most of the shuttle's design flaws.

As for why the air force wanted this, the presumption is surveillance, but I don't think they've ever officially answered, other than denying that they ever considered a bomber mission for the shuttle.
I don't get to walk in to a shop and set the price I pay for goods. They have items with an implicit offer for sale. I can either take or reject the contract.

It's a 3 way relationship between driver, passenger with Uber facilitating that relationship. Uber owns the passengers and they offer drivers the ability to fulfill the potential-passengers.

Maybe this would be clearer if Uber offered an API for the driver side so they wouldn't be forced to use the app and thus muddy the relationship.

Right. I will go further: if SLS is the best that could be done, then human space activities themselves would make no sense. SLS is a solution to no real problem beyond "how do we deliver $$$ to the appropriate pork consumers?"

I'm not even in the US, so not gonna tell MIT what they should do about it, but I wonder what US students think about getting a loan and having the uni administration pouring so much BS on them.

In my country, movies depict US campus life like having a great time, and great education.

I studied sociology in northern Spain, in a faculty stuffed with people who identified as intersectional feminist, and I had my fair share of ugly stuff (I got two professors talking about me to other classes because of my ideas). I thought I had it bad, but the more I read into what happens in US universities, the more I think it has to be a nightmare (a nightmare with loans, nonetheless).

I milked as much as I could that faculty. I'm grateful for my micro and macro economy classes, methodology, stats I & II and some more, but honestly, everywhere where this people set their feet just turned into something ridiculous.

I joined the uni in my mid 20s so maybe that has something to do with it.

Competition has 4k displays on their thin and lights. They also don't use macOS which has problems running at resolutions other than native or pixel-doubled. The suggested scalings are 1680 by 1050, 1440 by 900, and 1024 by 640. None of those are even fractions of the native resolution so the interface looks blurry and shimmers. Also, all the suggested scalings are very small so there isn't much screen real-estate.

Perhaps the best practice would be to learn to make your point without personalizing it so much.

Yes, generally speaking, that's a best practice and one I follow as best I can. Unfortunately, it can't always be followed without hamstringing one's ability to say something meaningful and address more important issues than the tendency of the world to geegaw at me for existing.

I wasn't asking for advice. Giving advice in a situation like this one tends to boil down to blaming the victim rather than trying to understand what they are saying about a larger social issue and patterns of behavior involving many people, not just themselves.

Let's be honest with ourselves. The real reason many are worried about the economy is because of their rich lifestyles and stock portfolios.

They didn't care about "diseases of despair" in 2008 either. It's simply a bad faith argument.

I think people in this thread are talking at cross-purposes.

On the one hand, you have the people who are talking about when you genuinely make a mistake, and recognize it as such before public outcry.

On the other end of the spectrum, you have people that maybe feel that they were acting / talking / behaving in a way that is normal but are being told that they made a mistake. In these circumstances, there is usually the issue that the nature of the mistake is quite subjective.

In the former case, your strategy is probably a good one. In the latter, I think the "don't apologize" is probably the better way to go, for the reasons outlined by GC.

> Reflect that "commonly done" != "unproblematic".

I agree, but I'm sure you also agree that "commonly done" != "problematic". Morality and common practice have nothing to do with each other, so I don't think that line of argument helps or hurts either side here. And I don't think I ever implied that eating animals is unproblematic simply because most people do it.

> Think for yourself: reflect on whether causing pain to sentient creatures is something you want to be doing in your life.

The morality of hurting sentient creatures depends entirely on context. If I were torturing animals for my own sick pleasure, that would certainly be immoral. If I shoot a bear that's attacking me, I think we would both agree that that's justified. That's an extreme example, but it proves the general point that there exist conditions where hurting a sentient being is morally acceptable.

In my opinion, getting adequate nutrition is also an acceptable reason. I assume you either disagree that that's a good enough reason, or you simply believe that plant-based diets provide adequate nutrition. If the former, then we're back to the moral disagreement: I think the pain caused to farm animals is an acceptable trade off for my health, and you don't. If the latter, well... I really don't want to get into the health side of this argument. I doubt we'd change each others' minds and the moral issue is much more interesting.

I do agree that morality dictates we cause minimal possible suffering to the animals we eat, and I agree that modern farming practices leave a lot to be desired in that regard. But I'm trying to stick to the core question of whether eating animals is morally justifiable in its own right, regardless of the messy realities of the particular world in which we live.

Seems like a perfect opportunity for the government to continue supporting people. Perhaps some taxes on your high pulpit would do some good.

But heaven forbid we do that - because the real answer isn't "oh people die in a bad economy." It's "I'm unwilling to support my fellow americans in a proper way, I'd rather them risk their lives instead of providing some support during difficult times."
