Actually it does care about spreading over time. That's why plant toxins are good in small amounts and bad in large at once. It's always about weighing benefits and negative effects, not looking at things one-sidedly! I would never have vodka, cocktails, and other pure poison products, but I will have a glass of good red wine or a bottle of real beer! Pure ethanol is bad! Ethanol is metabolised as fructose! Sugary alcoholic drinks are the worst! So, let's not put all types of "alcohol" in the same bucket! With red wine and beer, you get benefits, which might outweigh the negative sides - even when not considering the hormetic effect of small amounts of ethanol!

I was thinking what's the odds that any number drawn will have a special relationship to the number drawn before, where the degree of specialness is determined by how many people hearing the number think "huh, that's weird"
I feel like “how something works” and “implementation details” aren’t synonymous and are really context dependent.

As a user you should know the different types of namespacing that affect containers without necessarily knowing that/how your runtime calls clone() to do it. And as a sysadmin you had better know how all the components fit together and their failure modes because you’re the one supporting them.

Different people have different views of any technology so someone’s necessary understanding as a user of managed k8s can be different than a sysadmin who is a user of k8s code itself.
Does arsenic usually cause cancer or is it toxic in another way? While you can also get alcohol poisoning, this seems like an imperfect comparison.
> I'd argue China has embraced capitalism and we are moving in the opposite direction.

The CCP has embraced capitalism when it's convenient for them. What they haven't embraced is a consistent rule of law or anything approaching a democratic government, which are the basis of every other functioning, stable nation on Earth.
It would seem to me that all wealth is at the expense of others. I like your comment, but I think it needs to account for the fact that non-lottery wealth comes from either being lucky (born into it, or first to market) or by taking from other people.
Maybe the benefit of alcohol has more value than the risk it imposes. For example, forgetting what happened yesterday, forgetting about covid and feeling great.
You can’t argue with propaganda. Questioning vaccine safety on a “big tech” forum is wrongthink.
Yes, sure. But what I am asking is specifically why are Urbit and Yarvin’s ideology impossible to separate?
those are relative risks, you need to state them in absolute risk if you want people to be able to understand and make decisions. If the absolute baseline risk of getting head and neck cancer is very low, then having a 5x risk over that isn't really important- it's still absolutely small enough to say "don't care, compared to other risks".

And in alcohol, there's a long list of risks that will cause the majority of deaths compared to cancer.
I have been exposed to COVID-19 and I had no symptoms. They said I am immune for 6 months. :)
The other way (and it seems the NLRB sees it this way too) is that she didn't materially hurt google by doing so, and on the flipside used this system to make sure that laws are known and can be followed.

This is (a bit) like google buying property around polling stations and then preventing anyone from passing through to vote. They're not hurting google by passing through, but they keep shouting "get off my land!" Why would we let them weaponize property law to prevent others from enforcing their rights vis-a-vis google?
Australia seems to be a testing ground for fucked up internet policies.
Their marketing copy is still accurate.

It sounds like the OP wanted to get 15% discount, which required them to prepay for 10,000 usage credits that expire after a year.

It's not Snowflake fault if you didn't use the prepaid amount that allowed OP to gain the 15% discount.

Only prepay for things you know you'll entirely use
These are examples of what's relevant.
Modern software development makes me wish I was born in the late 1940s.
Yeah I guess it's a bit different since we're so heavy into complex integrations with our customers.

Anyway, up until this became an issue, Teams has worked quite well. It does what we need when we need it, so can't complain really.
It what sense is 4% of all cancer cases not a lot?
Of course, it matters what the baseline frequencies of these cancers are. If these represent .1% of all cancers, even a tenfold relative risk only increases your absolute risk by 1%. That would be "significant" under some definition of the word significant. But it might not be decisive for someone considering whether they should drink.

On the other hand, if the baseline rate of those cancers is 8%, it would likely be enough to convince everyone to stop drinking.
You're not stating any facts. You're stating a bigoted opinion and presenting it as fact.
> However the main purpose of a vaccine is herd immunity.

This is false when it comes to the COVID-19 vaccines under development. They do not—and are not meant to—prevent people from contracting and spreading the virus. They only reduce the symptoms. This does not help herd immunity (other than perhaps allowing the virus to spread faster, I guess).
This part was great...

" the VirtualAlloc’ed page tables can be paged to disk themselves and thus when paged back into physical memory they will most likely be allocated in a new physical page. However, this has proven to be an insignificant issue after suspending the working set manager thread which is responsible for paging virtual memory to disk. "
I agree, and I'd rather know than not know. Especially with things like off-gassing formaldehyde in furniture. It's easy to look around and find something without formaldehyde in it.

So I'm curious what was in the bowl. Is it possible that it had a coating of some sort? The CA website doesn't list kitchen products as a category...

I don’t see why those things couldn’t have been invented by this process?

The article specifically states that you focus on your potential customer’s problems, not the solutions they want or would use. Ie, you’re not asking if they want a better horse, but you are asking what sucks about the one they have today.

From there better shoes, saddles, or even a car/plane can come out of that discussion.
Only if the lottery works as advertised.

Such a sequence, assuming a low total number of draws, is pretty strong evidence in favor of the theory that the balls were put in sequentially and were supposed to be randomized but the randomization didn't actually happen.

Another elected official used the term 'bleaching' or 'acid washing' or something. Don't quote me on this but I seem to recall a fact checking agency rating the statement as "false" because "bleach was not used, it was software called bleachbit".

Fondness for not knowing better. For not holding myself accountable. Fondness for the rationalizations of a bully.

There are also fines for polluting the water. It wouldn't surprise me if the harbor authority was also levying a daily fine for blocking access to the port.

Because the decision makers will inevitably make very large mistakes, and generally don't have the ability (or capacity) to course correct.

Do Any Benefits of Alcohol Outweigh the Risks?
What would happen if you effectively randomized people at birth to drink more or less alcohol their whole lives? Would they get more or less heart disease?
I also have Philips Hue.

I used to be able to ask Siri: "Hey Siri, please set the lights to green." Then she would obediently set all of the lights to green. Nice, that's my favorite!

Then a few months ago some update was pushed (iOS? Apple Home app? Philips Hue app? Philips Hue Basestation OS? No idea) and now that exact phrase (which has worked for two years) suddenly elicits a response: "OK, which room?" -- followed by a listing of the rooms in which I have devices and a catch-all "Everywhere".

So now I've had to change my incantation: "Hey Siri, please set all of my lights to green."

I'm just waiting for her to start asking "Do you want Lime Green, Aqua Green, or Vomit Green?". Or worse, maybe she'll just give up and say "OK, here's a list of Google results for Green Lights." Maybe even throw a captcha in there asking me to select the green lights at intersections, just for good measure.
I misinterpreted what you were asking. That being said, Michael1999 does a much better job explaining that I can.
Probably not applicable in OP's case. If XYZ company was my employer, the last tools I'd use to protect my data and communications would be any of XYZ's products.
If you take OEIS as a database of “interesting sequences” (some of them are only interesting to mathematicians), and pull out all of the running groups of 6 (in the sequence as provided, which of course doesn’t include the full version of very long or infinite sequences) that could be a powerball number, you get 1,097,698; or about a 2.6% chance; just the first 6 digits of each sequence gives a mere 32,110; or about 0.076%. Of course most of these aren’t actually very interesting, after all; but it does provide a rough approximation.

We're talking about cancer risk here, not toxicity or effects on blood sugar. As far as I understand (as someone with no medical background), exposure is exposure. I'd love to be proven wrong if someone has some information to the contrary.
Do you take action based on the labels? I've thought about it, but half the things I own have them, and in some cases it's illegal to make non-california-cancerous alternatives (fire-retardant furniture).
That seems a little too pessimistic to me. The economy is absolutely not a zero sum game.
You're going to run into walls of denial with people refuting what they're hearing because the lifestyle change is hard or, worse, because they're coping with addiction and don't see a way out.
If this were a true random event, then near misses with 5 out of 6 sequential digits would be far more frequent, but I have never heard of one. So that says this is non-random somehow.
I'm not. Legal doesn't want to deal with everyone having a different employment contract. Google has always leaned towards being ok with a ton of false negatives to avoid false positives. They'd rather give up 10 good hires than make one bad one.

This is just an extension of that. They don't want any exceptions and they aren't willing to make any.
By this argument, it is also impossible to separate DNS from Yarvin’s ideology, since that has a practically identical hierarchical system.
Had similar experiences. A funny bug was when I pressed the next button too fast for some reason my playlist was switched out with most popular (I guess). It was only Britney Spears and Justin Bieber.

Totally agree on the playlists too. I recently liked a video on youtube where a dude put guitar strings in his piano and for some reason yt music put that in my liked music playlist. It doesn't even contain actual music, just explanations of what he's doing
They moved my favorite songs to one of my THREE youtube profiles.

They couldn't move it to my main because it was legacy, but that was where I had youtube premium/red whatever. So then I needed to switch between accounts. Not fun while you are driving.

Oh then they stopped premium so I started hearing ads. Not what I want when I'm trying to calm my screaming kid in the car. Oh, and I need to keep my phone screen on.

Many of the songs aren't the same as on Google play.

Google seems to be moving toward search/email/YouTube. With few other products. Probably good, they can't handle it.
I wouldn't worry about it. There's still plenty of positive evidence for vaccines from the last 100 years. A mistake with a covid vaccine wouldn't change that.
I trust Apple as much as I trust Yahoo or Google. Which is to say, Google was honest 5-10 years ago, and Yahoo was honest 15-20 years ago. Apple is honest today, but whether it's honest in 5-10 years is TBD.

This document is a little bit better than the general privacy policy, but I'd still want to be asked. "By default, iCloud automatically keeps your Health app data, including health records, up to date across your devices." This is different from your interpretation (opt-in versus opt-out).

Call me a cynic, but I read this as "We might upload your data to Apple if you miss something walking through configuration screens, or if you an app somehow gets your data before you've toggled a setting. Our next default update might include a default-insecure setting for new types of data you'll never find out about without navigating our screens." Google does this all the time; they start collecting new information, and provide an opt-out, but by the time I opt-out, they've scarfed a ton of my data. I assume it's in a backup somewhere.

Apple says they do end-to-end encryption, but key exchange is an honor system. As I understand, Apple could set up a new iPhone in-house connected to my account, and have it sync up my data (with end-to-end encryption), scarfing up all of my data. Apple could be compelled to do this with a court order, or might change privacy policies in 5 years.

The nice thing about open source is that I don't need to trust. I trust Apple today, but it's not an ecosystem I'd buy into right now. The upsides of monitoring my health are far outweighed by the downsides of privacy and security risks that brings. That goes for Chinese companies too. Hardware can be compromised, but open source + CCP is more trustworthy than Apple.

I'm actually surprised there aren't more CCP companies doing open source. I'd gladly pay double for an open source mouse, keyboard, or other device.

True, but it still amounts to a very regressive tax, even if the proceeds are fed back into education.
I have this perspective too in large part due to the book "The Art of Fermentation" by Sandor Katz and the other resources/books that that book cites.
can you recommend in depth reading material on what would happen if the number were higher or lower?
Yeah, but I would like to have a good music product. I'm currently between options because nothing works for me. I was a happy Google Play Music subscriber for years. All they had to to was change the colour scheme and swap the backend and I would have been a happy camper. Now I have canceled my subscription and don't know what to use.

At the end of the day music isn't critical to me, so I don't really care if Google dominates it. If I had to switch I'm not too worried about being locked into something.

The standardization of “Docker” containers into “OCI” containers and the huge amount of public pressure put on Docker to separate out their runtime containerd from dockerd.
There are many drugs with many different properties. Some are medicinal, some are addictive, some are illegal, etc. They all effect people in varying negative and positive ways. The word "drugs" typically has a negative connotation since people tend to use the term "drugs" to refer to "illegal drugs". You don't really hear people calling "medicinal drugs" just "drugs"; well at least in everyday conversation.

Legal drugs are usually pushed by huge corporations with big budgets. They have heavy marketing and a lot of advertising that manipulates public opinion. All of this advertising of course portrays the "drug" in a positive way. You don't ever hear the word "drug" used in alcohol or pharmaceutical commercials.

Also, whenever a study comes out saying anything good about alcohol the media picks it up since that's what people like to hear. I'm not sure I've ever seen the news feature a study on the negative effects of alcohol. Another reason the media may focus on positive stories is that big alcohol is such a huge customer.

Any advertisement mentioning illegal drugs portrays them in a negative way since they are put out by groups that are against the drug since you can't promote a product that's illegal. So in conclusion, it's because alcohol is legal and the loads of advertising that give people such a positive view of alcohol.
Funding the public education system is a good thing and a similar system exists in California: https://www.calottery.com/who-benefits

However OPs point about mostly lower socioeconomic groups funding the lottery is still relevant as it raises questions about whether this pseudo-regressive “tax” is a fair way to fund a public good like education.
Re-write of a) the internet, b) the WWW, c) compiler, d) operating system, e) app runtime. Presumably these all need to be re-written from scratch for undisclosed reasons.

It could be the next iteration of networked software that adds security, gives ownership back to the people, breaks the big tech monopolies, actually beyond that the Urbit docs are vague with respect to the benefits of the platform (not to mention how they plan to accomplish these goals and avoid the pitfalls of the existing tech).

I have to say I'm skeptical! I get major vibes of NIH syndrome and delusions of grandeur from this project.

Averaged time series are very different than individual ones.

This is a deep problem; it's basically unavoidable in e.g. medical research - the very factors you want to study may well be potentially identifying. The only way to address this is to balance the potential utility of the research against the potential impact of the information.
Ignoring the 90% that is was based on a population below 55, a 70% efficacy is still a success for the Oxford vaccine, as it can be stored in a regular fridge. This makes distribution outside health settings much easier. I would happily take the Oxford vaccine if it was offered to me.

Bad faith argument aside, informing people of the rights they do have is not really having a political stance. Those rights exist regardless of what one personally supports. Obviously, this holds true for USA's 2nd amendment rights as well as any other provisions granted by the law.

Companies have active interests in suppressing this sort of information, and put forth efforts to try and convince people that literally stating the laws of the country that one resides in is somehow pushing a political agenda.
> you need to state them in absolute risk if you want people to be able to understand and make decisions.

I refute this on the grounds that an alarming number of people seem not to care about their own health given a 1/1000 risk of death (or worse for older or at-risk populations) from SARS-CoV-2. If half the country doesn't care about those odds, what makes us think any measurable amount of people will care about... don't know, 1/50k odds?

But I see where you're coming from. In a perfect world, you'd be right.
I don't see any real difference from existing communities. There are already a variety of different cities/towns/neighborhoods based on people's personal preferences. I don't think there is anything that would be a defining characteristic for remote workers that wouldn't be found in most existing communities. Meaning, people's other interests and opinions would likely continue to define the characteristics of the community they want to live in.
The amount of shill comments like yours and the parent surprise me less everyday.
I suspect that this venture will be a failure.

The magic behind TSMC's success, is their huge quantity of semiconductor engineers, that they employ to achieve their yield. It's because the photo-lithography devices from ASML are so finicky, that you need to babysit them.

Which means that you need a lot of engineers. And they must also be relatively cheap. Otherwise, you burn through your budget. Which is also something that Taiwan can provide, since the exchange rate is more favorable for this work.

For the American foundry to work, they must employ a lot of engineers. And engineering labor in the United States is expensive.

Hence, the US foundry may operationally work, but it will be a commercial failure.
