The day either 'i.reddit.com' or 'old.reddit.com' stop working, Reddit will never again receive a visit from me. To other readers, i.reddit.com will solve all your mobile woes.

As for me, I find the front page to already be a cesspool of pretty shallow political takes, star wars memes, gaming news and awful twitter screenshots, all of which are pretty repulsive. I also get the sense that Reddit is used more by a new generation of kids, about half my age. I guess one of the disadvantages of being over thirty is that you lose the appetite to engage with teenagers/early-20s people who are on their own journey towards maturity.
...I’m good, thanks.
I use it on mobile. Still better than the new site. Chrome has bugs with the "text scaling" feature but if you turn it off then old.reddit.com works fine.
Hi, thanks :)

Why WASM:

One of the primary goal of NoteCalc is to be easily accessible (e.g. it was mainly born because Soulver is MacOS only). So the browser-based client was obvious choice, and I chosed WASM for

- performance reasons

- to be able to use rust

- to avoid as much JS (and related technologies) as possible

Why Canvas:

I answered here: https://github.com/bbodi/notecalc3/issues/6#issuecomment-749...

In a previous versions, only the changed areas were re-rendered, but the code was much more complex and error-prone, and it did not bring any performance improvement, so now I just rerender everything, still excellent performance but much simpler code.
However this is different for calculations, only changed/affected lines are reparsed and recalculated.
The primary motivating reason to have abstractions in the first place is to prevent context switching - i.e. you shouldn't have to think about networking code while you're writing business logic.
Lets not forget a few years ago when Ripple was running around trying to pay companies millions of dollars to list XRP. Ripple has always operated under a thin veneer of legitimacy, but it's basically to cover up the massive exit scam that effectively happened.
So streaming someone ripping a statue down will be illegal? Good luck finding the person who actually committed the crime since no one will be filming if they can't live stream...
The string won't break apart, because the forces that are holding it together are so much stronger than the "force" that is pulling our universe apart.

Unfortunately, it doesn't answer your more fundamental question of "if I make 2 marks in space, and then those expand apart, what is in the new space, and how do I know they really are farther apart?"

I have never heard a good description of this on human scales, only at stellar and galactic scales.
I think the primary factor is that the society itself becomes more progressive, so definitions of "progressive/conservative" change. Sixty years ago, segregated schools were supported by mainstream conservatives, and same-sex marriage would have been considered a radical leftist agenda. An "ordinary" young person from 1960s, growing old without changing their opinions, would seem hopelessly out of touch today.
Yeah, run for office. If you're in a red state run as a Republican, blue state Democrat. All politicians lie, so just play their game, support the issues that will get you elected then stand up for what you really believe in when you get in. You may only make it one term, but at least things will change.
Anecdote: 3 weeks very ill, 6 months recovery in my case, and still every now and then days where I'm completely useless physically. For someone who is normally classed as 'hyperactive' the change in my life is remarkable. I'd love to have my old energy levels back.
Depends on your needs. I am an academic and spend a large part of my day reading math heavy papers and taking notes as I read. A large screen eink tablet is more useful to me than a good graphics card :-)
This is unfortunately all too common, but it can at least be solved with a simple restart - and truly fixed after the holidays, which is much better than a 4h debug fest because of a typo in some code someone wanted to quickly get in before the holidays.
She apparently had that reaction before and it's quite common.
Sigh. Guess which democrat tried to institute this bill ten years ago? Amy Klobuchar. And thankfully it got shot down then. But anyway, I think there's more to this headline, does anyone have the actual text of the felony streaming part? All I've seen are these clickbaity headlines with no real substance. Looks like it was Senator Tillis that proposed the idea and got it included. I'm hopeful the law will be enforced in a reasonable way. However, its very deceptive to sneak legislation by in this way, and something should be done about it.

Should've waited till April 1st to publish this.
Counterfeiting currency on a massive level would devalue the currency, cause hyperinflation, wipe out everybody's savings. Taking away everyone's savings and breaking the economy would probably indirectly cause a large number of suicides.

So i still think its not comparable to that either. Not to say there aren't other felonies that are probably stupid.
I wasn't quite sure if you meant Calfee till I saw your links.

I'm glad you put them in there... I've seen bamboo bikes around SB and Scruz for about 25 years. So I'm not surprised Calfee decided to do one.

I do think it's worth pointing out that the Calfee is built by experienced carbon-fiber layup specialists who do this everyday... they use titanium components and almost certainly impregnate the bamboo to offer the 10yr warranty. And total weight 6-7lbs (frame only) is pretty damn light! So 3k for a reliable one of a kind competition bike vs 0.5k for a kit you build yourself and ride carefully for less than a year. You better enjoy building it.

> Nationalized healthcare predates the Soviets

Where? In most of the Western countries that have it, it post-dates WWII, and corresponds to the replacement of capitalism in the relatively pure sense with the modern mixed economy, which is arguably more Marxist than the USSR and other “Communist” regimes based on Leninism and it's descendants.

Tesla designs its own chips, they don't use 5 nanometers but they are working on 7 nanometers. You need to have very good microelectronics to build a modern car.

Yes, car makers have to worry about hardening against nation states. Probably don't do it as well yet however.

However I agree that Apple could go into that direction.

How come moderators don't fall for those 'theories'?

Or more precisely: Why is there a majority of people who upvote those theories but moderators can identify them as what they are and remove them? What has happened to moderators that they can handle the 'theories' that hasn't happened to regular forum members?

Whatever that is, can't this be handed out to new members before they are allowed to vote?

Yeah PEG allergies are a nonstory. That said, actual nanoparticles should usually give people pause. Nanotoxicity is a poorly understood subject that only recently started getting some of the attention it deserves. Usually, when people talk about nanoparticles in context, they're made up of rigid or semi-rigid structures (which PEG is not) that can turn into asbestos-like carcinogens after a little wear and tear.
Polnareff was huge in native France. French artists from the 60s and 70s tended to be big all over Europe and some places in the Middle East and Asia, but completely ignored in the English-speaking world.
News like "zero-click iMessage to root exploit" costs Apple millions of dollars as it's a PR nightmare and erodes the trust they spent years (+tens of millions of dollars) building. Those "thousands of dollars" they would spend on forensics would be their least concern.

Imagine The Guardian, The New York Times and several other top journals covered this story with a sensational title like "Our Journalists' iPhones are hacked remotely". There's no going back from that.
He really wants to climb things and me, and probably has the strength for it, but lacks the coordination to successfully apply his strength toward that goal.

> Serum testosterone levels are increased in athletes after short-term exercise. To investigate whether mechanical compression could contribute to this increase, we subjected 14 male volunteers to mechanical testicular compression via a pneumatic cuff. The serum testosterone levels were sampled at time intervals before, during and after compression. There was a rise in mean serum testosterone levels of 16.7-18.2%, with a maximal increase at 1.5 min after compression was released. Mechanical compression alone did not explain the rise in serum testosterone, although it may have a contributory role.
There is. But are you saying that:

"the risk that Toyota, with demonstrated volume manufacturing prowess, is unable to pivot into a new class of vehicles"

is greater than

"the risk that a new manufacturer, with no track record of volume automotive manufacturing, can create a product and manufacture it in volume"?

That was my original contention and where I feel the market is mispricing risk.
If this is some electrical universe support, I think that's a good example of why it's important to know and understand the scientific consensus.

There are all sorts of minor details that can be matched to all sorts of fine theories, but there is almost always overwhelming evidence in other places that contradicts them. Trying to reinvent physics from the ground up by picking a few details is a fool's errand.

In particular, EU can't explain gravitational lensing, it can't explain the equality of gravitational mass and inertial mass, and these are just some of the most obvious.
Oculus Quest 2. It makes VR portable and accessible to normies, and allows you to connect to desktop if you so desire.

Great article.

Don’t agree here though:

> If you generate a random string that is 128 bits in length, you are highly likely to find a run of zeroes or ones that is at least 8 long, and finding a run that is 15 long or longer is uncommon but still very possible and not something to be worried about.

In crypto we want the key material to be unpredictable AND uniform.

This uniformity requirement is why we pass the shared secret from an elliptic curve Diffie Hellman interaction through a digest like SHA-2.

Not because the shared curve co-ordinate isn’t random. But because we need to remove any non-uniformity.

It should be hard to pass a bill. And each bill should be easy for a layperson to understand. We have no chance of holding congressman's toes to the fire if nobody can even parse the bills being passed. Progress of government is not measured in bills passed.

Minnesota has single issue bills. Some of their congress still tries to do omnibus bills because its less work and they want to be seen as "getting a lot done".
Trying to take this seriously...

Is there some psychological explanation for elevated T, especially when the subject is aware their testes are about to be crushed by an air bladder? That is, could fear and courage cause a rise in testosterone?
Specifically, Israel has a huge cybersecurity software business around selling oppressive regimes NSA-style tools of mass surveillance and spyware kits. This is a government-sanctioned industry (US intelligence is in this too), and doesn't seem to have any ethics. Here are some stories:

> The moat that Waymo has built with their particular kind of testing and iteration is diametrically opposed to how companies like Tesla, Lyft, Uber etc have tried to do self-driving. Even they are going to be restricted to the easiest of locals for years.

Nobody has figured it out out yet, and a 'moat' for a market that is basically impossible to a big money-maker is not a 'moat' at all.

The quest for self driving is not the same as the quest for the first commercial deployment. Solving general self-driving is the real quest.

And I don't trust any experts to predict this correctly, as nobody knows yet what the solution actually is. Some experts say one thing, others say other things.
Did the people who found reddit involved with it anyway now? They were pretty cool people and I can't believe they would approve of all this nonsense.

Really? He listed Akira!

From Wikipedia:

> The film had a significant impact on popular culture worldwide, paving the way for the growth of anime and Japanese popular culture in the Western world

As an aside, I was a performer in this performance piece: https://www.artbasel.com/news/messeplatz-alexandra-pirici-gl...

It uses "gestures and sounds which are taken from both natural and popular media sources, Pirici renders disparate forms of heritage and cultural memory, conceiving Aggregate as a time capsule in which fragments of vernacular culture, art history, and everyday life are given new, living embodiments."

I was surprised when out of a diverse selection of materials from world culture, the choreographer also chose to include the theme song from Ghost in the shell.
> Jensen [3] showed a rise in mean testosterone (s-T) concentration of 27 % and 37 % during strength and endurance training, respectively.

So putting a 2 PSI spacesuit on the astronauts is about half as effective as lifting waits at increasing testosterone levels.
You. Must. Vote. This is extremely infuriating but it’s even more maddening that we as a country, voted for this. We voted for our representative. We voted for what they stand for. There’s no one to blame but ourselves (even though you didn’t “directly” vote for them, we still bear the brunt of the decision, that’s how a democracy works). But I’m honestly hopeful that voters will get wiser as the current state of technology becomes a commodity. The thing that does concern me, is the irreversible damage that will take generations to heal.

Hum.. In Canada laws are approved by all elected member of parliament and senate. Maybe I'm not following what you're trying to imply? Also, so many other things just work very differently in Canada, there's a series of readings, committees are put together to review and ammend bills before they are presented, etc. And at any time, a vote of no confidence can take place dissolving the current government. There's also more than two parties. The prime minister has no special powers (unlike the President), and the Senate has no party affiliation. With all these differences and more, I don't know how useful it is to compare a single difference in isolation.

Certainly debatable, by all means. As to a bastion of humanity, I see that the people of the Warsaw Pact countries managed, once they decided their System wasn't doing what they'd been brought up to believe it should, to change it with very little violence.

In a better world, the soviets would have done all the hard work to introduce minor things like school for girls[1] to afghanistan in the early eighties, and then it would have gone capitalist along with the rest of the ex-soviet -stans, nearly bloodlessly, in the early nineties.

Help afghanis, yes. Help the taliban? That was a poor, even a foreseeably poor, decision.
