The glycemic index of most milk substitutes (oat,soy,almond) are equivalent or greater than a can of coke.

That's true of oat and rice milk, but not of almond or soy. That's to be expected: the former two are made out of starchy grains, the latter two out of fatty nuts/pulses. Those are on a par with milk for glycemic index (~25).

The worst case ("obese cows on a grain fed diet in a feedlot") is also the common case: if you go to the grocery store and buy generic "milk", that's what you're going to get. Organic may be slightly better, though it's unclear. You can go out of your way to get more sustainably-produced milk, but you're going to pay at least twice as much for it.

That's a decent choice, though I'd be happier if it were easier to verify. (I don't trust the labeling of "grass fed milk", and locally-sourced milk that I can check myself is hard to come by.) The small comfort is that dairy cattle have to be treated relatively well, since they can't produce good milk if they're sick or abused.

I don't understand how "uploading the information right away to the blockchain" changes anything in this situation. Arrest information is already logged somewhere, and even if it was logged in an immutable public ledger that doesn't mean that people wouldn't immediately distrust arrests depending on the circumstances regardless of a blockchain being involved. It really seems like this post is just another example of vaunting the all-powerful all-knowing blockchain without it being clear and specific as to what the blockchain actually DOES for us in this situation.

"Quantitative improvement" is table stakes that I worry have been abandoned with the jettisoning of the Servo team. "Technological pessimism" is a differentiating strategy, but ultimately dooms them to the small subset of users who understand and care about privacy at a deep level. "All encompassing" is a death march. All is infinite and Mozilla can't afford to implement everything hoping something turns out to be valuable (Google OTOH can bankrupt competition with this strategy). "A better browser" is where I think Mozilla should focus their attention. They were doing that with their lab experiments, but abandoned them before they could become valuable. Doing this approach well requires commitment to do enough of them that a vision coalesces and then more commitment to see it through. Mozilla used to be audacious enough to invent a new programming language in order to build a better browser. Now they seem to have turned their backs on that initiative and I'm left wondering if they have any guts left at all.

This is the key attitude to gauging whether it's worth sticking it out in academia. I tell people you really need to be 'obsessed' with science (indeed, obsession is really a key concept: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riaYwt0gf20).

"History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes"

We can look at how economics have worked in the past to get some hints about the present, but ultimately we have no idea. We may have just entered a new era of financial and economic patterns, or we may be teetering on the verge of complete and literal collapse that would put the Great Depression to shame and have absolutely no idea. We just don't know.

Unemployment rates are slowly going back down, and the economy seems to have come to grips with how to handle the virus over the summer, so for now I think we're probably good, but the long term effects of COVID's shock to the system and the tax breaks we passed before it are probably at least 6-12 months away from starting to materialize.

Newsflash: the vast majority of jobs out there are not that fun. That's why you get paid. If they were a lot of fun, you'd be the one who pays, just like you pay when you go to a concert. Some jobs are meaningful. Working for Moderna and making a vaccine that's going to save millions of lives, that's meaningful. Finding a cure for a certain type of cancer, it's meaningful. But saying that astrophysics is meaningful because some internet surveys find it to be "the sexiest job in the world", that's quite shallow. 99.9999% of the jobs out there don't end up with you saving the world. You just do some stuff, get paid for it, and then go home and live your life with your family and friends.

Its the viral load, or the amount of virus, mainly. Most people have a large viral load when they are the most infectious, especially in the nose and throat. Testing daily would ensure that you know immediately when you're highly infectious.

A recent check of the rapid test used in the UK is that its largely unaware of the virus if the necessary PCR cycles are > 25, gets it right half of the time for CT between 20 and 25 and it gets very good if viral load is large enough to be detected by < 20 cycles. Other rapid tests are AFAIK somewhat better.

The main problem that most (western) countries failed to solve is to remove reasons to not take a test and not to self-isolate, and that's primarily inability to get proper support WRT work / monetary situation while self-isolating.

Make it easier for people to self-isolate than not to, and people will do it.

Not really. CentOS was the “gateway drug” to get everyone hooked on the RHEL ecosystem, which they could then convert to paying customers. It also allowed many vendors free and fully compatible access to make their products for the RHEL platform. Now that that’s gone, the converting users will dry up, and the vendor software will dry up.

By saying it was “not useful” to them, they really have an extremely limited and short-sighted definition of “useful”.

It really should not have been such a huge extra effort to keep CentOS around in its previous form. RH is already building the packages for RHEL, and CentOS could almost be a side-effect of that process.

Is that article mistaken too? Also, the parent article says "part of the profit he gained from controlling the .nu top-level domain was used to get the remote island connected to the internet, and his IUS-N Foundation said it continues to make significant contributions to maintain the island’s internet and telecommunication needs".

It's distressingly common for JS developers to just throw something like "t.track('payment')" in the onclick handler for the last button (or every button) in a payment flow, where "t" is some analytics package you've blocked. No exception handling, of course, so when the analytics package isn't loaded, nothing happens when you click the button. If you're lucky, there will be a console message logged saying something like "unable to call method track on undefined".
This was attempted using COBOL with a varying degree of success depending on who you ask. I myself have not used it but it seems to me the verbosity would be a major drawback for most tasks. Perhaps one can learn to read it quickly but I believe having shorter yet self documenting names for variables, functions, objects, etc leads to being able to store more in our limited human working memory, which is vital for more complex operations. Code structured more like natural language takes longer to compile, and takes up more disk space. Perhaps these are not such drastic drawbacks for the use cases it was developed.

Musk used the "Rapid antigen test from BD," which is a different test from a different company.
I did the same. I kept post processing to a minimum. Load pictures into Lightroom, apply NLP, save. If you have over 10k negatives you don't have time for every picture. NLP produces acceptable (and in my view very good) results with no additional processing required.

Also if you have that many negatives, every step you need to take is one step too many. My frames came from the camera without any borders, so no cropping needed. Don't put the negatives in the "wrong" way. Base vs. emulsion debate is just that - a debate with miniscule differences.

I had a foot-switch for release so that you can use both hands for the camera and focus. Then you'll achieve ~5 minutes for a full 36 frame roll of (strips of 4-6 frames) film.
>It's kinda sad that the pricing or market capitalization is the only thing that is being talked about in the "cryptocurrency community", instead of focussing on how the technology can be useful for society.

The serious crypto currency developers out there who are working on Bitcoin, Ethereum, Stellar, and a few others are definitely focused on how the technology can be useful for society and they have been so for years.

That's why their prices are going up (over time, not today specifically)... because a lot of people with a lot of money see the potential value of holding them.

But yes in general 99% of the "community" you see in crypto related social media spheres only cares about price and profit, I would agree with that statement.
Great stuff! Something good to end the year on high skills!
I was just checking the build times from your github repo by running cargo build. If I used it in a project it would be multi-language and require linking against native code through a C shim. It would be great if that was provided and had a stable ABI + .so for the rust code that I could install through a .deb or .rpm instead of building through cargo.

> Though we are pretty lean on dependencies, and I would expect most projects using oso would be using serde anyway.

It would be great if `serde` was opt-in through cargo features, which is pretty common in the Rust ecosystem. While your manifests are small there's still quite a bit getting pulled in. Might want to inspect the dependency graph to see if there's anything excessive or some features that can be non-defaulted.

> That being said those times you're seeing seem very long, even for Rust!

Not in my experience. This was a clean debug build. It's not that uncommon on CI runners to have much longer times than developer machines (MacOS CI runners are especially bad about this, and also cost a lot more money). That's why I do profiling on a weaker one when evaluating build times. Incremental builds are faster, they're also harder to orchestrate.

Not trying to be overly critical, just trying to give a view! Compiling on other people's machines is expensive, a good way for me to buy into something like this instead of doing it myself (which is how I'm doing it right now!) is to reduce the dependency tree and make building stupid fast/easy.
sounds like dropping CentOS was IBM decision , coz they own RedHat now.
The interesting part to me:

For the treatment, doctors remove stem cells from the patients' bone marrow and use CRISPR to edit a gene in the cells, activating the production of fetal hemoglobin. That protein is produced by fetuses in the womb but usually shuts off shortly after birth.

The patients then undergo a grueling round of chemotherapy to destroy most of their bone marrow to make room for the gene-edited cells, billions of which are then infused into their bodies.

This means that it wasn't in vivo modification, which would be truly revolutionary for many genetic diseases.

Still, it's spectacular progress that will help millions eventually.
Recently switched back to Firefox after meandering between Edge and Chrome on multiple platforms (Linux, macOS and Windows) for work and non-work purposes.

Firefox Dev Tools are fucking awesome. Firefox sync works great. All the extensions I want are here. It's fast enough in ways that microbenchmarks don't mean anything to me...and it's free as in Liberty (last but not least).

I've been looking for a VPN, and even though I find the features rather anemic - I've used mullvad before and I trust the infrastructure that Mozilla VPN is built on and it's a way to give money to them. I will probably also switch over from Raindrop to Pocket for the same purpose.
There are parallels, but gold has a 5000 year incumbency. It's outlasted not only Empires, but eras. It's valued by cultures that have no relationship with one another and no common past, totally independent.

I see lots of comments suggesting that BTC is a constant store of value and that it is rising in USD terms because of ‘money printing’.

If that was the case, wouldn’t we see inflation in USD prices for a basket of goods? Isn’t inflation very close to zero?

Others say they are sick of talking about BTC price and would rather focus on its utility. This makes sense, but for the same reason above it cannot happen since on a basket of goods basis BTC is deflationary. Your options if you hold it are to buy something with it today or to hold onto it for a short period of time and buy 2 things with it later.

If BTC is actually viable as a currency, shouldn’t the goal be to get it to some kind of CPI stability?

"could we manufacture 10 billion of them a month?"

Yes, it could be done.

According to that TWiV episode (which, again, I encourage everyone to listen to) the tests are very simple: just a piece of paper with some antibodies on it.

As for the $10 billion per month cost, from the TWiV episode (about 31 minutes in):

It just boggles my mind, the enormity of this problem. This is killing enormous numbers of people every day. It's costing the country trillions -- literally trillions of dollars. This should just be part of the national emergency.

It's one thing to make vaccines, it's one thing to make therapeutics, but these are things that necessarily take time. We have to wait to see what the efficacy is, we have to... it's really hard to make therapeutics. A diagnostic test should be a no-brainer. Make a $1 test. Get it to everyone. Change the way we view these things, and that should be completely being plowed through by the federal government.

We don't have to make 300 million of them overnight. We just have to focus them at the moment in places where the cases are worst... it's just astounding that we don't see a flurry of activity from the US Army...

I don't know who makes it, but take every manufacturing company that knows how to print paper, adapt their tools to print monocolonal antibodies on to those sheets and just start slicing it up and shipping it out. It's as easy as that.. well, you know, I'm simplifying it a bit but...
I did exactly the same. I switched to Firefox after Opera changed direction, with Opera 13. It's incredible how much Opera 12 was advanced and snappy. It was 2012...

I used Firefox since then. And I never had an issue with it. But, especially at the beginning, I really felt it was an inferior browser. But still better than chrome for sure. Just because I don't want google to know all my chronology.
I suppose my confusion comes because I'm not really aware of any significant demographic shift in either of those countries in the past couple thousand years, so I wouldn't have thought the distinction of "indigenous" vs "non-indigenous" to be super relevant. I would also typically consider the connotations of "indigenous" to imply some degree of colonization, meaning that unless there's a group of people I'm not aware of, an "indigenous German" is just a "German".
My guess is whatever the immediate cause was - accidents, CO poisoning, pre-existing respiratory problems, flu.
I think for that we'd need a clearer idea of how we'd deploy the capital we had raised to significantly accelerate growth beyond what we're currently getting organically.
That is true.
