Mercury does still have a vapor pressure and evaporates at room temperature so it could evaporate some but it would be in the shade so it would need warming to remain liquid more than cooling so the evaporation rate could be controlled and would probably be very very slow around it's freezing point.

Sorry, I wrote that down in a misleading way. Afro/Cuban might have been better, but what I really meant was "rhythmic structures influenced by African and/or Cuban musical culture", which samba definitely was. That's redundant in a way, because Cuban forms themselves are deeply indebted (if not directly playing) African forms, but my understanding is that there was a particular development/expansion of things in Cuba (much as in Brasil) that is perhaps best understood as a new branch of the tree. Samba doesn't owe anything in particular to Cuban traditions, but does draw on other African percussive structures.

Why? We have prescriptions here and it's a service that needs disrupting. My Dad has a monthly prescription he has to pick up from Boots because no delivery service he has ever used has been reliable. The branch he goes to is 10 miles from his home because every other branch nearer to him has let him down badly in the past with missing items he has had to chase up for days afterwards.

We're talking about picking 6 labelled items from a shelf and putting them in a paper bag. How someone can get that wrong over and over again baffles me?
The UX design of git is horrible, granted. To me this article read as "I want a GUI", while having some good points.

For example on knowing branches having local and remote versions, "because why would they"..they would because if they want to use the tool effectively then they need to know how it works. This is the same reason I learned how to use git prune. Would I ever use it on production code without a backup? No.

A GUI is not the solution, because a GUI can never equal the expressiveness and capability of skill combined with a parcity of input provided by the command line. If it did then the complexity of using the GUI would be just as hard, or harder, than the command line interface. However, there are many who do not need more than basic Git. Those can be served by a simple GUI, or by pre-provisioned Git aliases with documentation of what those aliases do.

I still dislike a GUI because I have had a number of people come to me to fix things on a team that used SourceTree and accidentally did something horrible, either because their finger slipped or because they didn't realize what they were doing and the GUI made it too easy to do it.

All powerful tools should have a simple version and a complex version. Git is extremely powerful, but has no simple version for everything.

What helped training new people was telling them to think of git like a complex copy operation across computer boundaries, and explaining the commands in terms of that. Once they've gotten comfortable with the basics then you can explain how it differs from copy (and it does, greatly).
That might be the case for many people^, bit it's a different thing to say than "these are, to a large extent, the same people who..." which imo is a flame if it goes without figures to back it up.

But for each one of these, the less I have to know about its internals, the better.

The ideal option for each of these things is that it "just works". When you have to think about the internals of your package manager or your CI or your virtual environment, that's a flaw in it, not a reason to celebrate.
I'm a skeptic of this approach. How do you begin to measure CO2 emissions for the entire lifecycle of a product? I have a hard time believing it wont just benefit whoever has the best carbon-accountants.

Tax some carbon, tax some consumption, harsh penalties for countries that pollute a lot. I think there are many ingredients needed here.

It's still intellectually lazy to attribute things to climate change first and then use that as the basis to dismiss further investigation. Otherwise you might not look closer and realize the problem is due to something else. Maybe the reason the insects are disappearing is not because of climate change but because of some subtle chemical change in pesticides, water treatment, etc.
Fairly would imply a long, long bill of carbon debt corporations owe us. I don't see any carbon tax plan recuperating this debt.

I can understand your use case, but I know a lot of people (often those who use computers infrequently) type out the full URL all the time. They don't know what HTTP or HTTPS is, they don't realise you can omit that part. They just want to access the website.

For those people, it makes sense that typing "http://" would take them to the "https://" site if available. Although they did specify HTTP, it isn't necessarily what they actually wanted.

I think the use case you describe (whilst valid) only applies to a relatively small pool of people. Most people don't really understand HTTP or HTTPS very well. They know it's part of the web address, and some know that "https://" is "secure", but that's about it.

I think it makes sense to direct people to the secure version of the site as much as possible, whilst of course providing a mechanism to switch to the HTTP version if necessary.

I have a space commercialization question.

SpaceX is purportedly at some point going to be able to put 100 tons in LEO for around 100M. I'll roughly assume with a second launch full of fuel, a purchaser with the right gear could put close to 100 tons on the lunar surface for 200M or so, once they get the kinks out and the price down.

So why not just pre-purchase 20 of these for your favorite lunar project, such as the ULT? If they bring prices down you get a cool lunar base. If they don't, you don't pay. That much payload delivered to the moon for $4B would be an incredible bargain, and it also serves to further incentivize SpaceX.

I'm sure I have something about the economics wrong, but I don't know what. Seems to me like we should be very close to a lot of back-burner space projects getting off the drawing boards.

Once it does you can believe they'll start caring pretty quick.

From the article's conclusion... "The M1 undisputedly outperforms the core performance of everything Intel has to offer, and battles it with AMD’s new Zen3, winning some, losing some.

Mkbhd M1 Mac Review
I fell in love with train travel in eastern europe. Get on a train at night, curl up in your bunk to get gently rocked to sleep by the movement of the car, wake up in the morning in another city refreshed and ready to go. It's the closest thing to time travel that I've ever experienced.
It's HIPAA, and there's no such meaningful category as HIPAA-adjacent data. Data is either PHI held by HIPAA covered entities or it's not, and consumer health and wellness data that one would see as being equally sensitive but that involves consumer transactions with an entity which is not a “covered entity” as defined in HIPAA (including where the consumer takes information from a covered entity and provides it to the service, so that the service is engaged by the consumer but has no business relation to the covered entity) is simply not PHI protected by HIPAA.

On the other hand, the information you describe from a pharmacy customer isn't “HIPAA adjacent”, it's just plain HIPAA PHI. on the gripping hand, lots of places have fairly weak internal controls on access to PHI; there is no required independent certification of practices, only after-the-fact enforcement when an unauthorized use occurs, is reported, and is investigated. And lots of places that haven't been caught out yet have training in what your not allowed to do with data, but inadequate controls on what you can do and inadequate auditing of what you have done.

This is very similar (and really interesting) though I’m not sure if Walmart has a special condition on use of insurance.

Amazon appears to be incentivizing customers to not use insurance to pay for their drugs. I’m not sure if Walmart does the same. If so, that’s also noteworthy.
A long time, I don’t think it’s a viable model at scale. The restaurant owners are only slightly more tech savvy than my mom and they really struggle with this stuff. Also Uber acts as a mini Facebook style walled garden and locks out more and more customers from using your restaurant. At some point 10-20% the walled garden is enough to drive your profit to 0 and bankrupt a restaurant.
> I'm opposed to getting the facts wrong

I have not got the facts wrong.

I said "no power is doing anything _of substance_ about China expanding" and that is a _fact_.

Coast guards attacking illegal Chinese fishing boats is a good step for illegal fishing but it is laughably small if it's meant to rebuke China for installing military bases on islands into the contested waters.

I don't see how Vietnam subsidizing fishers is relevant.

The US and other Navy forces are _entitled_ to sail through international waters by definition. Calling it "freedom of navigation" and doing _nothing_ else is on those trips is, for want of a better word, "cute".

None of these are acts _of substance_.

The _fact_ is that no power wants to poke the bear.

For the avoidance of doubt, I'm not saying those nations are wrong to avoid a substantial act. I'm not even saying China occupying those islands is wrong, nor am I saying it's right. I'm simply saying that no power has or will stand up properly to China. The govt / armed forces / press / etc don't like the expansion but they're not actually going to do anything about it.

As a result, in a couple of decades, the frog will be slowly boiled, and eventually the whole region will be assumed to be China's. That's all I'm saying.

> Similarly, it's absurd to claim that there's no opposition to Chinese expansionism

If you mean me, I made no such claim.

I simply said there have been no acts of substance to demonstrate this opposition.

I dearly wish I could read and speak Chinese. I haven't read the blogs you speak of (so I'll accept I'm ignorant on that), but with that said, is it really a shock that right wing blogs in country A says that nefarious forces in country B or C are itching to invade them? I see that ridiculous narrative often. Americans / Australians / insert-preferred-power-here thinking China will invade. It's tiresome and repetitive. For all of China's expansionist angst and insecurity-driven surveillance, I don't think of it as a warmongering nation.

I didn't follow your point about Caesar.
This is a "rewriting reality to fit our agenda" kind of a post.

> The majority of websites already support HTTPS

When I run a webserver on a machine I just set up, it has no certificate, certainly not one signed by anybody else, and there's no reason I need to be forced to use encryption with it.

False. Although - for fashionable Silicon Valley companies, "most websites" probably means something like Facebook, Google, Amazon, Wikipedia and a few others.

> Regrettably, websites often fall back to using the insecure and outdated HTTP protocol.

HTTP is "outdated"? "Fall back"? ... Seriously?

I guess we're just lucky FF's share has dropped so far that we shouldn't worry about this stuff. I just hope other browsers don't do this (although - who knows, right?)

Your county isn't doing free COVID testing?!?! In my county in Maryland every day there are about 10 sites you can get free testing (though they are not all open all day, but at any given time between 7a-6p you can get tested at least one or two places). There are also private practices where you can pay extra to get the results back 1-2 days earlier.
Mental model to use SVN for example was quite simplified.

No connection to the server no committing - no confusion about local vs remote.
Branching only on the server, merging totally useless - no branches, no merging, no conflicts.

Git is indeed hard, but it’s also far too easy to screw something up, sometimes irreversibly. Before I became much more
competent with Git, I used to spend far too much time trying to figure out how to undo or fix things. My strategy eventually became “just be extremely careful with everything”. That said, I have learned to judiciously use GUI tools such as those built into IDEs, but I have had to make conscious efforts to understand the commands they’re using underneath.

Let’s also not forget that version control — and any kind of synchronization — in general is hard.
To me, HTTP is the wrong target. It would be much more interesting to replace IP, like Yggdrasil does (and I think gnunet, cjdns, hyperboria & others).

If you IP is a cryptographic identifier:

* It cannot be forged

* Anyone can generate a new one on-demand

* Every packet is authenticated, every packet can be encrypted

* TLS becomes redundant

However, the DNS part remains a hard one. How to securely link to websites you have never seen? Pet names seem like a way to do so. Asking users to type IP addresses isn't really an answer, I think, but I don't know if there's a lot of "basic" users who type URLs in nowadays, they all seem to rely on google providing the right website anyway, or the web browser itself.

It's not like DNS is also our single source of trust nowadays, but at least certificate providers are competent enough to make sure names are resolved correctly.

One option would be to make signed DNS records over a DHT: the root authority "." signs "com", "net", etc, that sign "ycombinator", etc. Publish to DHT, hash-indexed.

Of course, point-to-point connections have their weaknesses as well, it might be interesting to migrate to something like beaker browser (html on top of hypercore, formerly DAT, kind of like mutable torrents in a DHT). At the end of the day, the core issue is: migrating users is difficult if the benefits are not immediately obvious.

And yes, massively adopting anything else would litterally "kill the old web", in the protocol sense. In the community or content sense? Not so sure.

When I traverse the URL from left to right with the keyboard cursor it goes as "normal" up to the the last / then jumps to the end, then traverses "backwards" then jumps back to the end.

You forgot log, cherry, stash, blame, which are also daily use commands. You also have to learn a lot of concepts to even understand the help and error messages for these commands - the worktree, the index, the stash, HEAD, ours vs theirs, conflicts, remotes, tracking branches, when it is safe to push -F, etc. Depending on the project you joined, you may also have to immediately learn about git LFS, submodules, squashing, fast-forwards, tags.

You have to understand a lot of things before you can somewhat comfortably use git, much more than something like P4.
