It only states that near the end of the page. What is the purpose of it if it's not secure? It only prevents an attacker from performing naive attacks (+1 to get the next id, for example), which might be good enough... But anyone really determined can crack this.
It does make you wonder though... huge ethical and health issues aside, is there even the tiniest chance that eating certain parts of another human could be advantageous or even partly grant you some of the positive traits that other human possesses?

There's growing interest in infusion of young people's plasma to counter aging, for example. Fecal transplants (more like gut biome transplants) also come to mind.

And Cerebrolysin is a slurry of peptides from pig brain matter which, when injected or taken intranasally, is used to treat brain damage but has also (riskily, of course) been used "off-label" as a cognitive enhancer in healthy people. It's reported by some to significantly improve cognitive function, with unique effects. (And reported by some others to have caused long-term or permanent brain damage. No risk, no reward, I guess.)

It wouldn't horribly shock me if - ignoring the ethics and the risks of prions and possibly harmful "mismatches" for a moment - eating part of someone's brain could provide some cognitive benefits, and if maybe the brains of more intelligent people could in some cases provide stronger benefits.

Per the tapeworm experiments, maybe you could even get some cognitive benefit from eating other organs besides the brain. And per Cerebrolysin, maybe if you grind up parts of a smart person's brain into a smoothie, aerosolize it, and take it intranasally, you could get especially powerful benefits (...and/or terrible side effects or brain damage).

(Obviously this is still unlikely and complete, uninformed speculation on my part, though. And even if it were theoretically plausible obviously I don't think it should ever be tried for any reason because it would harm or kill at least one party, and it probably would be bad to do with a dead brain that died of natural causes.)
Starting back around 2009, I started marking bug fixes in git with the first line containing "Bug fix---description". For example (from my gopher server [1]):

a12c3fd Bug fix---sample forgot POST method.
0b1bce2 Bug fix---grab guid when only given numeric uid.
31408da Bug tracking---crash because filename is nil?
d993265 Bug fix---Clean the display text to prevent broken index files.
47e98e8 Bug fix---line comments were broken in .port70 files.

I do the same at work. I got the idea from Donald Knuth, who wrote a paper about classifying each error in TeX [2]. I didn't go as far as he did, but I still have his list handy:

* Algorithm
* Blunder
* Cleanup
* Data
* Efficiency
* Forgotten
* Generalization
* Interaction
* Language
* Mismatch
* Portability
* Quality
* Robustness
* Surprise
* Typo

I fully agree with this, I see it as one value to be upheld among many others in a Pareto-like trade-off. Optimizing for only a single value is going to lead to pathological outcomes as you rightly point out.

But I do consider it an important value since a lot of the motivation behind redistribution is self interest and jealousy (this is a finding in social science research), benelovant compassion only explains a small proportion of the variation.

Does the process use "chicken stem cells" or presumably cells from eggs as the input to the reaction? Wonder what is the ratio of stem cells to nutrients to make this chicken? For economic feasibility, I would guess it needs to be mostly nutrients.

And my point is that Haskell doesn't even look like it's run from top to bottom.

Example, consider this mutually recursive definition at the top level:

a = 1:b
b = 2:a

It doesn't, by any means logical or not, look like it runs from top to bottom. If so, the first line would have immediately been an error because `b` is an undefined name.
It's good that you can get all that sterile equipment to inject safely. To me the weird bit is that you're necessarily using it to inject very non-sterile heroin with unknown adulterants that you've bought from a (by definition) criminal enterprise. I hope that at some point doctors are able to provide opiates for addicts as further harm reduction.

I know there's been some emergency COVID policies put in place in parts of Canada that allow morphine to be prescribed for that purpose (and possibly hydromorphone, but not heroin since Canada unlike Britain doesn't allow medical use of heroin).
Who’s going to invest the capital and do the work to run a company that develops technology (eg. hiring the tens of thousands of people required to fabricate 5 nm chips and build cell phones) if there is no way to become a billionaire off of it? I figure the people who are capable of that kind of stuff would put all their efforts toward overthrowing the system instead if that’s what the rules were.

There is one article talking about the effect on local industry. The gist of it is that you help people out by giving them free stuff, but you kill the local food/clothing/shoe industry and therefore trap the very communities you intend to help into a cycle where they can never start businesses and raise their standard of living because nobody will buy their stuff because they get it for free through aid.

Also, the term "third world" is not offensive and most people are tired of playing this game where some group declares some term offensive and we are all expected to stop using it. You don't get to dictate the language people use to talk and think about the world around them.
Absolutely, that is a great comment.
Any purpose to this post other than scaring people?

How about you compare things to previous years instead.
Yup. This also was also reported to have provided a weaker than usual signal for the seasonal Flu vaccine in the North.

Each hemisphere uses data collected during the winter in the other hemisphere to guess what Influenza variants will be most common in their countries when it's their turn, then it takes several months to turn those guesses into bulk vaccine for immunising the elderly and vulnerable and give them a jab. Sometimes the guess is right on the money and it's extremely effective, other years not so much.

Less signal may make this year's winter 2020/21 vaccine less effective.
Or maybe people believed it but found it to be in poor taste and lacking any proof aside from a burner account and a smug whiff of, “trust me.”

It’s really important to talk about addiction and to help loosen the stigma around it. It’s also gross to flippantly gossip without any context or details, hours after someone has died, in a forum where people who were affected by the person are grieving. Both things can be true. The gossip in the comment can be true and it can get flagged for being in poor taste.

I've always enjoyed the duality of Mozart's supposed personality. We will never truly know the person so we can mostly only judge him by his works and boy can he craft a divine sound. But when you apply a personal lens to your own work I have realised that it's perfectly reasonable to distance your personality from your craft so why not also Mozart?

In any case, a reminder to check your snobbery at the door when following classical music - the musicians and composers are usually quite ordinary people with special gifts.

Matchmaking ruined the competitive aspects of gaming for me, since I either get dragged down by team mates or I get stuck playing the same games over and over.

It's boring, and if I want to get better I have to watch an hour of pro streams before even getting into the game to remind myself of what good play looks like.

People who are against matchmaking have a valid point, and it's part of why games revolving around community run servers last longer.

"an opportunity for a responsible manager to talk and rethink"

Mostly it's an opportunity to let the staffer know that such ultimates are unacceptable, and that taken literally by her own terms - she could be called out and let go. Which is what happened.

It's very doubtful that if they wanted to keep her, that they couldn't have found terms.

Surely the manager would have bent, indicated the wording was a little bit strong, and found a way forward.

It seems clear they were wavering, she crossed a line and offered them the path out and they took it.

If there were material issues being covered up, there was material suppression of information, this story would look completely different - but there wasn't.

This was the right thing to do by Google in a tricky situation.
Timnit was presented with a privileged and confidential document. That binds her from sharing the information in the document with others. It has nothing to do with the authors of the document or the confidentiality of their identities.

And importantly, in the context of a company like Google, an executive (like jeff Dean) likely has the authority to "unprivilge" said contents, whatever they are.
To expand on the other answers, generally the project owner deals with “why” and the manager with “what.” In slightly more vulgar terms, it’s like the difference between an owner of a McDonald’s and a manager of a McDonald’s.
Thanks. I guess that given so much hype about blockchain (especially ETH) and ability to create smart contracts, there would be a startup (or many) that was already all set up and ready to go for something like this. I know there's already blockchain-based sports betting, this isn't much different.
If I'm a fitness coach charging $60/hour, all my customers are there because they think I'm providing a service of value greater than $60/hour. Perhaps their subjective value is $80/hour, so they get $20/hour benefit and decide voluntarily to engage in this transaction with me. This is a positive sum voluntary transaction where all parties are better off (except for the carbon pollution which we expelled to drive to the venue, which I think should be taxed!).

I find it hard to believe that anyone could disagree with the above, which means you must disagree that the fruits of this exchange should be my property. Well let me ask you this: the customer made $20 in utility by engaging in this transaction with me. Why should they be able to keep the $20 utility but I must give up part of the $60? And what right do you have to reach into my pocket? If my customers instead traded groceries for my hour of training, should I not be able to keep these groceries?Is it only money that makes the difference for you?

You can watch it live[1] at UK Reading's Atmospheric Observatory.

Currently (00-ish UTC), the last 12-ish hours there, have been between 100 and 150 V/m. Preceded by 6-ish hours of high-variability, say -50 to 100 with excursions down by -200 V/m. And then 6-ish hours of 50 to 100 V/m. Aside from the 6 hrs of variability, which look like a front coming in, the shape seems stereotypical Carnegie curve.

Yeah the ioniq/(hyundai kia etc.) is the only hybrid I was aware of with a 12V recharge button like that, that link certainly shows why it can have that.

I was under the impression the prius didn't use the 12v to start the car per se, and there was no starter motor, only MG1 and MG2, where MG1 was doing duty as the starter. I had a motorcycle that did a similar thing, the alternator was the starter.

My understanding is you need it, because the 12v is initially used to run the system computer, and close the hybrid battery relay. Once that happens, the hybrid battery energizes MG1 to start the engine.
"Steve Wozniak is starting a second company, 45 years after he co-founded Apple in Steve Jobs’ parents garage in 1976."

Conversations like this a meaningless without first determining what kind of software are we talking about. If it's a first version made quickly to test an idea, the ideal would be 0%. Rapidly developing product, 40%, mature product, 60%, database (like Postgres or SQLite) - 100%, and any software that deals with money, health and airspace should have each live of code covered at least three times by completely different tests, both unit and integration.

There's not one size that fits all in software development. And if you don't specify what software are you talking about, everybody will explicitly talk about their own domain and experience.
"force" or "coerce", but more "civilized", generally more related to using indirect pressure, probably based on manipulating some larger system.

,,Have you ever heard of someone getting “feedback” on a paper through a privileged and confidential document to HR? ''

Hmm, how would it be if Amazon stock dropped in price by 73%? Actually, I think that would be pretty bad. Ironically, least of all for Jeff Bezos. How good would it be for you if your 401k dropped by that much?

Or maybe you're thinking we could just confiscate the stock, or force him to sell it. Sell it to whom? Other billionaires? And do you think this wouldn't have an effect on the stock prices (i.e. people's retirement funds) and availability of capital (i.e. money to pay people's salaries)?

Instead of:

This is a terrifying and yet all too common view. When the central bank punches keys and creates money out of thin air this DOES come from your pocket and mine, but in a way that is not entirely as obvious as the way other costs are. It reduces the value of what was already in our pocket via inflation. The money in our pocket can no longer buy the same amount. That’s a cost.

God I wish we would go back to the gold standard so that the cost of government expenditures would be more obvious to the general public via payment from increased taxes or from allocation away from some other government expense. Instead, people are left thinking the government could magically solve all of our problems by printing more money, but for some reason doesn’t because it doesn’t care.
