I had edited my comment while you were replying. The media did not "ignore the case", sorry. There are plenty of articles about Epstein and Maxwell, and Prince Andrew didn't get away either.

But that's about it, isn't it? Everyone else who hung out with them just has to say "whoops, I totally didn't know about their pedo side", and that's the end of the story. Which is amazing when even low-level socialites like Ellen Pao were apparently aware of Maxwell's side business. Where was the pressure from journalists on law enforcement, and from law enforcement on those involved? Too late now anyway, I guess?

For what it's worth, my own pessimism is mostly based on the disastrous Dutroux case over here in Europe. If 27 witnesses can get killed over what is presumably a much lower-profile pedophile ring, then what chance do we have to ever know about the depth of Epstein's connections, or even just his death? (I'd love to be proven wrong!)

I'm not saying that this validates any particular conspiracy theory (I agree with [1]), but that it highlighted an immense imbalance of power and transparency between the 0.001% and the rest of us. Epstein was a comic-book villain walking free. I believe that if the media can make it clear that they're fighting _for us_, people won't look to QAnon for salvation.

Why is it so hard to turn off the PS5?
twitter is too noisy for me too. is there a dispassionate, neutral-ish newsletter covering all this that you would recommend?
To be fair, you can never discuss forests in any sort of scientific manner without discussing soils. The two are fundamentally linked.

That said, regenerative agriculture is probably the single best carbon sequestration technology that we have given the raw amount of land we have depleted of its organic matter.
I did a test once with Yesod (also a Haskell based server side web framework; also uses Haskell's Warp webserver), and it was very fast. I got 60ms from Rails and 2ms from Yesod in a similar scenario.

This will not be fastest (that will be the C/C++/Rust solutions), but the programming experience is very high level. I want speed in runtime performance (1) and in developer productivity (2). I'd say Rust and Haskell have interesting offerings looking at these two metrics.
Easing the Emotional Risk of Sharing Stories
/r/maliciouscompliance is just a creative writing sub though. Much like TIFU.
For people in my family, white flour specifically, and also processed food in general, as well as things in the air such as VOCs (sources: plastics, furniture glue, "cleaning" products) are triggers.

Once they're eliminated or reduced, the migraines stop.

Have you tried anything like this?
It implies the use of noncarbon energy sources. For example, ClimeWorks uses geothermal energy for its CCS plant in Island.

Other noncarbon energy sources are nuclear energies (fusion or fission), and the noncarbon renewables wind, solar, tidal...).

How do you know nature will survive? Records of previous climate changes indicate the change occurred more gradually in tens of thousands of years, not within 200 years. So nature may not have time to adapt.
Also the living earth may have just been lucky the last time drastic climate change occurred; it's not that we have thousands of earths to exclude survivorship bias.
I'd love to read about that device of yours and how you managed to get such a certification.

The DevOps Reading List: Choosing Your Next DevOps Book
I've been making my way through this list and so far all the books are pretty good.
This was a really unexpected critique to read here, I really enjoyed reading it.
You are right I got my facts confused, meant to say fully automatic weapons ban. I apologize for the misinformation, I misspoke on automatic/fully automatic and I know that is a huge issue of contention so it was an unacceptable slip, as well I should have looked up the actual laws name. Again I apologize for misleading information and thank you for clarifying the information for people.

I believe that I am level headed (at least I like to believe that I am), because I am first and foremost a pacifist but I acknowledge the logic that if someone is trying to harm you, you have a right to not be harmed. I respect devout pacifist and totally understand their logic, that the principle of pacifism is more important to them than self defense because violence flows from a few wells, fear/insecurity, despair/desperation, anger and jealousy. They believe to neutralize violence you are not violent against those that are in one of those states, rather one should be merciful on their them due to their torment, and that mercy is show in love for them and all people. I honestly admire that level of pacifism but don't know if I can ever get there, I get it, I accept that these are the primary drivers of violence but it's hard to be that principled and understanding while standing down the barrel of a gun. As VanZant so aptly put it in "gimme 3 steps", "Well it ain't no fun staring straight down a 44". I may be able to in a situation involving only myself, but with my wife and kids I just cannot see myself getting there. Thus I only carry a firearm when I am with my family. I used to be anti-handgun when I was young and would have been fine with a ban on them. It was not until later in life that I realized that people will literally, pick up a stick and kill someone else, so while handguns primary purpose is human on human violence, I realize that it is just an object and ascribing the violence to the object only blurs what we all need to fix as humans and that is man's inhumanity to man.

For people in my family, white flour specifically is a big trigger, in additional to other substances I listed in other comments (processed food and VOCs).

With white flour, I don't even think it is the pesticides, because I know at least one family member for whom it was a trigger before we moved to a country which uses them for everything.
Hard to know which piece of misinformation to respond to.

If you skip all the subjective stuff and whether "works for shopping" is the goal.. both of your big-O comments have counter examples (check out Coda for 1) as does your energy comment (Eth2 is an effort to switch to Proof of Stake, amongst other upgrades).
The mental habit of seeing connections?
Also my iOS client does it.
I think that part of the human condition is that we are smart enough to quite easily imagine perfectly operating systems. It is simple to imagine the train that is always on time to the second, the politician who is 100% ethical, a good judge of character, works hard, and has broad relevant knowledge. It is possible to imagine the construction company that always finishes the roads on time and with high quality.

But for humans to actually do all of these things is extremely hard. We only recently were very much like a primate we see in the wild. We have tons of ambition and imagination but all the flaws of a prototype intelligent creature. We can't always think clearly, emotions often get in the way when we can, we get tired, we have conflicting drives and feedback loops that mean we are never truly satisfied no matter how good we have it.

such is life.
Probably true as far as Utah, but a bad assumption to make elsewhere. A high death rate will make that stat true also.

A bit of anecdotal "evidence".

I bought the 2020 Ford Kuga/Escape PHEV this summer, which has been recalled because of battery issues, thus forcing me to drive with discharged battery. Even then, we frequently drive 30-50% of our range on pure electric, because of regenerative charging. In practice it means that our big dirty 2.5L engine, even though it pollutes more, actually gets us to 20 km/l in the city. I'm not saying that's great, but if i could charge the car, all those city drives would effectively be pure electric. On the open road i think we currently average about 18 km/l, and i have a heavy foot :)

In comparison, my previous car a 2016 Ford Focus EcoBoost, ran on average 10-12 km/l.
The article mention the use of lambda/serverless. If he had a server many of these issues would not exist in the first place :)
Especially in Finland with a single government-run train company that routinely makes announcements like "the trains are late because we didn't anticipate it raining snow". In winter. In Finland.

Try Japan. Trains run on time to the second, so precisely that time tables printed on paper to the second are accurate.
I don't know, Clough42 typically publishes a new YouTube video on Sundays that I look for on Mondays (because of our timezones).

Not quite so consistent lately I think, but my point is that even if things change and children don't read comics any more (is that even true?) that doesn't stop the new things having similar schedules or things to look forward to.
I don’t think so. Not everything linked here seems stupid at first glance, and the comment clearly says that this does.
I have been wondering about using this lately too.

Why not set up carbon capture units near alternative energy sources? It is certainly not going to be cheap and there are no real economic incentives for it other than hope for future generations. So, I don't know about the political viability considering this would have to be a massive project run by multiple governments.

But, if we put political viability aside for a second and just think pie in the sky here, technically, why not? As someone else pointed out, nature does this too. But those processes are simply too slow for the rate at which we are emitting. So, I think giving nature some help, at least until we have converted sufficiently to renewable is a good idea and may buy us the time we need.
I'd say this competition has been the reason for some amazing innovation. Both Nix and Stack are pretty next level compared what most other languages have going. And since there is no big corp (like Google for Golang) to order what to use, we will have competing standards for a long time.

I want to make this a top comment, because I think it could help someone. Eliminating the following has helped me and family members eliminate migraines:

* white flour products.

* processed food products with preservatives.

* VOCs from furniture, new cars, etc.

* any kind of synthetic cleaning products, which basically means dr. bronner's soap and nothing else. (If you look at "seventh generation", "mrs meyers", "jason", and other "eco" brands, they're all the same crap as dawn and others. They used to be OK in the beginning, but no more.)

It is certainly not easy, and basically requires you to become your own EPA and FDA and be vigilant and strict, and may initially cause tensions in your relationships, but I live in multiple domiciles without having one myself, and I've been able to slowly but surely convert them to Dr. B.

No brand is forever, and you have to keep watching it and switch to an alternative when it goes bad. For examples of brands who have already gone bad, see above.

Every day we play roulette with our bodies, bombarding them with thousands of synthetic chemicals we did not evolve with, meaning they came about in the last hundred years after millions of years of evolving without them. I think migraines are often "last resort" signals which tell us something is seriously wrong, and we need to stop.

I think we're just beginning to come around to this as a society over the past ~50 years, and it is only getting better, but very slowly. If you want to be ahead of the curve, this is it. I think we'll soon look back on this time the same we look back on shoe-fitting X-ray machines from back in the day.
I'm split on this. On one hand I appreciate these kinds of posts because they bring math with intuition to broader masses.

On the other hand, it makes people believe that they have understood what's there to understand and move on. In a sense, they contribute to the Dunning-Kruger effect.

The article illustrates this quite well. The intuition is presented well, but is no substitute for actually learning math. The first two questions in the end:

> Why is one function reversed?

> Why is convolution commutative?

With having studied math "properly", it's immediately obvious that they are answers to each other. Defining it with the "reversal" on one function is what makes the operation commutative by introducing a somewhat hidden symmetry and that's a quite common trick in mathematics.

The other two questions are also quite clear with some actual math background. Not M.Sc. level math, just some proper calculus. You just need to sit down and do the math, which can take half a page of pen-on-paper. That's what math is, you need to work it.

Again, don't get me wrong, I appreciate the effort. But those types of posts don't make you more fluid in math than reading a popular science article about Alpha Centauri makes you an astronomer or an expose about Covid-19 makes you an epidemioloist. It's popular science and can't replace the actual study of the subject.
Hehe, I remember my first train journey in the US. I believe it was Philly to NYC. I remember thinking "hey, what are they complaining about!? This is totally fine!" before I was told that together with like one other corridor like this in California(?), that's essentially full the extent of usable US rail service?
Is there a common definition of "migraine" in use here? Many of the comments here describe tension headaches, cluster headaches, and any other kind of headache lacking a formal diagnosis as a 'migraine'. Many also self-medicate their self-diagnosis.

Even the study itself is vague on the definition of 'migraine' other than stating the study was based on rumours of self-medication by self-diagnosed migraine sufferers. The article itself is paywalled, but I suspect subjects were recruited from a base of volunteers answering 'do you suffer from migraines' on a questionnaire.

There is, in fact, a medical definition of what a migraine is. It excludes tension headaches, cluster headaches, anxiety-induced headaches, earaches, back and neck injuries (chronic or acute), and even post-concussion headaches.

I'd argue the car based status quo is not great for the majority of less able bodied people in places like the UK though.

Especially when you think a lot of disabled people can not afford to drive or use taxis.

Do you have some modelling, or any credible reference to back up your assertion that the energy used by banks would be higher than a Bitcoin blockchain?

Yeah, game jams are an awesome way to brute-force the ideas to come out and many a great titles have started out from jams. The project I'm working first came into being as an entry for a 48-hour jam back in March. I've continually worked on it since, with pauses here and there due to life stuff.

Celeste probably didn't have a Kickstarter because the studio behind it (Matt Makes Games) was already pretty mature, having already shipped hits like Towerfall. Contrast that to Hollow Knight's Team Cherry who basically had to bootstrap themselves throughout the development process with literally only 3 people.

This is a farcical idea if the author actually is serious. The polynomial method is deep, dangerous overfitting. It’s the same reason why you don’t make a hand-made decision tree: you don’t know which features of the data are important or not. Presuming you do know, like basing the car’s steering on a polynomial fit of the three directional probes, will be a disaster in non-toy problems.

This example shows why you _do_ need machine learning. The toy steering problem is a place for you to work out how the car can learn to drive with as little structure or assumption baked in as possible. Putting less a priori structure on it directly means you need models with higher capacity to figure it out.

To put this all more succinctly, “never use machine learning when business logic would do” is a statement about how commonly needed machine learning is, not business logic.
Cities struggle to build better public transport because car owners complain en masse about any impingement on their freedoms.

Car supremacy is a big wedge issue in Norway, which is paradoxically a big oil exporter, and the worlds leader in electric vehicle usage. It even has has its own single issue political party, I wonder if big oil money is behind it?

Ruckus [0] gear is generally considered to be the step-up from Ubiquiti (although their point-to-point stuff is really good). The RF design is supposedly more complex and advanced in Ruckus APs with advanced antennas and their proprietary BeamFlex technology... not just reference-design SoC stuff.

See this reply (and others in the topic) for some “insight”: https://www.reddit.com/r/networking/comments/9vj2dh/comment/...

Also... since I’ve been looking at Ruckus APs recently (they offer several WiFi 6 APs) I learned that their APs have two part numbers with different prices. The '901' part numbers ship with Solo AP firmware that can run in either Standalone mode or will join a Ruckus ZoneDirector or SmartZone controller. The less expensive '9U1' part numbers ship with “Unleashed” code that will not connect to a ZD/SZ controller, and instead look for a local Unleashed network. The price difference is due to support entitlements; controllers license number of APs per controller/cluster, and Unleashed support is one license for up to 25 APs in the network. (Seems like most home users go with Unleashed. [1])

Also, one thing to note with some Ruckus APs (like those that support 802.11ax) are the PoE requirements. The RF power is reduced and/or some features become unavailable depending on the power available. (It’s all listed on the AP data sheets, just need to be aware of it.)

Except that this one does on the front page too, so it's not like 'front.template' has no full stop and 'submission.template' does.

Similarly in 'threads' some comments do and others don't. 'tis mildly curious.

> How do you expect to capture the carbon piece into a stable compound that can be buried without expending more energy?

This is a bit of a strawman. No one is claiming that it will be somehow energy neutral or break thermodynamics. It will obviously require significantly more energy input, not to mention the money. But that doesn't make it impossible or even a bad idea, if the energy fueling the process is nuclear or renewable.

Who’s to say that cutting taxes isn’t the best route to fixing the government.

When institutions are systematically overfunded they tend to grow fat and entitled. Ironically they end up doing less with more. Trimming the budget enforces discipline and builds institutional knowledge around how to operate lean and execute efficiently.
Unity and virtue appear to help, in terms of equity.
Can you please make the argument that licensing in general is a poll tax? This statement seems very outlandish to me and I cannot find any papers or articles to support it.

The equal protection argument also seems incorrect to me. If this were the case, states would be under scrutiny for basically any discrepancy between their laws. Why should voters in Texas be required to show IDs when those in California aren't? Why should drivers in Wisconsin keep getting their license back after their 5th DUI when people in another state lose it after 2?
Is there something stopping you from using the fips 140-2 box and also using strong software encryption on top of that?

While whatever you said about economies of scale is 100% true, its the level 3 stuff that's increasing the cost, not storage.
It's a good answer to the question though. The comment isn't necessarily in support of low taxes, but you have to admit "did I pay less tax?" is much easier to answer than "is the government functioning well?"
