Yes in general a pure function that takes in data and returns a result without reaching out of the function itself (in general that's a side effect) is usually more secure. There are certainly exceptions to that rule, like parsing data formats however. Also most pure functional languages make you isolate side effects which makes security auditing easier. For example I was an application security engineer for both a ruby company and an elixir company, both of which I'm sure you have heard of and both had excellent developers. The ruby shop (which in general I'd say had a higher talent level) had far more security issues in the code than the elixir team. Both had vaguely similar use cases and threat modeling also. I do believe that functional programming tends to lead to more secure code.
Take a look at bookshop.org, one of the sites called out by this article. I was surprised by the level of bias and ideological possession on display in their curation choices, and without a shred of self-awareness that I could find.

They seem obsessed with pushing e.g. Critical Race Theory on the front page, a religion about on par with Scientology.

How embarrassing for a site called “Bookshop”, which (ostensibly) claims to cater to a wide variety of tastes. Such an obsession with disreputable religious material will probably only serve to alienate most potential customers.

Yes it is exactly what I'm saying. I'm less interested because of this. I could turn it around and also say that with your extremely positive attitude you can look at a piece of dog shit and make it look "amazing." Think about it. That dog shit is made out of a scaffold of living bacteria like a mini-civilization or ecosystem! Each unit of bacteria in this ecosystem is in itself a complex machine constructed out of molecules! Isn't the universe such an interesting place!!!!!

This history of that piece of shit stretches back though millions of years of evolutionary history. That history is etched into our DNA, your DNA and every living thing on earth!!! All of humanity shares common ancestors with the bacteria in that piece of shit and everything is interconnected through the tree of life!!! We can go deeper because every atom in that DNA molecule in itself has a history where the scale is off the charts. Each atom was once part of a star and was once part of the big bang! We, You and I are made out of Star Material! When I think about all of this I'm just in awe!!!! wowowow. Not.

I'm honestly just not interested in a piece of shit. It's boring and I can't explain why, but hopefully the example above will help you understand where I'm coming from.

>The world is growing fatter by the year so it does not seem as though people are too stressed about those conceptions of the body being thrown around.

You are assuming that seeing an impressive physique would inspire people to attain it. That doesn't follow. Stress, depression, and low-self esteem can encourage overeating or a sedentary lifestyle. If someone believes they cannot compete with others, they may give up entirely.
While the obesity epidemic is certainly the larger societal problem, we can try and develop a better representation of what's actually healthy. There's a happy medium between single digit body fat percentage (what most bodybuilders are aiming for in competition, and the image people have of them not recognizing it's their competition form not their year-round form) and 25% body fat (lower limit of obese for men, apparently).
There is a correlation, but it doesn’t “largely” follow racial lines: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/wkyeng.t05.htm

1/4 of the 48 million white male workers make $716/week or less. That’s 12 million people. That cut-off is roughly between the 25th and 50th percentile incomes for Black men. Let’s say 1/3 of Black men make $716/week or less, or about 2.2 million of 6.7 million workers in that group. So the group of male workers earning under $726/week is disproportionately Black compared to the population as a whole, but the vast majority are still white. Between just Blacks and whites (Latinos and Asians are a separate issue because there’s the whole immigrant dimension there, and studies show that their incomes converge with whites within a few generations) the under-$716 group is 85% white.

Meanwhile at the other end, Black men at the top 10% mark make a bit more than white men at the top 25% mark. So say that’s 12 million white men making above $1,800/week and 670,000 Black men. So that group is 95% white.

So yes there is obviously a correlation and disparity. These numbers overstate the disparity a bit because it’s for everyone age 16+, and there is a significant Black-white age difference (a one decade difference at the median). But the disparity is there, and it’s durable (studies show that, unlike for Latinos and Asians, the disparity is not converging, and is stable).

But the income disparity doesn’t “follow racial lines” so closely as to render race even a partial substitute for class in terms of policy considerations.

Agree, the German car industry is so big that its interests obviously affect German politics. And since Germany is the most influential country in the EU, this makes the German car industry automatically very influential (in a not so positive sense).
Fair point. I do feel the responsibility is on the shoulders of those making claims of the dangers of meat alternatives though. Its easy to paint it as frankenfood, but if you look at the ingredients they are boringly normal

Great links! I used to use the veggie-wash stuff but switched to soaking in baking soda because it was much cheaper and seemed to achieve the same result. The difference is huge for me, eating grapes used to cause me headaches and upset my stomach if I ate more then a dozen or so, after I started soaking them in baking soda I can eat them by the pound without issue. I don’t know what is on grapes that causes me grief but just washing them doesn’t get rid of it. I do that with everything now except watermelon and bananas. My wife likes to candy orange and lemon peels so I do wash and soak those.

AFAICS it's not a leak, but a regular freedom of information request. And I'm not too familiar with how German media works, but if it's anything like the Dutch national broadcaster, it's not actually the states that are pursuing this, but journalists on their own accord.
Also age - it's actually possible to lose 10kg of fat and gain 5kg of muscle in 60 days without any testosterone or whatever boosters when you're 22. I have a very, very hard time believing you can do this at age 48-50, like Josh Brolin did to play Thanos.

How come I can't easily find a registry of the UP/DL/Beacon transmission frequencies for every satellite. Am I just not looking in the right place? I can find various hobbyist's catalogs, but nothing that looks remotely official. Any satellite with downlinks between 30 MHz and 1.2 GHz is potentially useful for helping to calibrate one or more of the radio neutrino experiments I work on.

Which is what makes it so convenient for the establishment - whenever someone brings up the question of economic rights it gets quickly derailed into the question of racial antagonism. As far as the beneficiaries of the economic order are concerned if the race question did not exist it would be prudent to create one, and since it does exist it's just silly not to use it to keep the poor divided.
This wasnt very surprising when it happened as historically The united states is its own worst enemy when it comes to military counterintelligence assessments. Id surmise no general wants to openly admit to the enemies asymmetric advantage.

Francis Gary Powers was no doubt stunned to find his U2 spyplane tumbling from the skies in 1960 thanks to what I can only imagine is inherent bias in the war room against the enemy. Its also worth noting the Tupolev TU95 bear left Washington scratching its heads for nearly a decade, furiously revising the numbers for speed and range. https://web.archive.org/web/20081211055010/http://www.aviati...

It probably won't provide competition to cell carriers for a few reasons. Starlink's equipment is large and needs a direct view of the sky. Their app needs to take photos of where you're positioning the receiver/transmitter to make sure there are no obstructions. The fact that they're using satellites means that they can get very broad coverage, but between the fact that it's satellite and the fact that they're using very high frequency spectrum means that it requires line-of-sight.

From what I can see, Starlink is using a lot more power to transmit than cell phones are really capable of given the battery constraints.

I think the more likely possibility is Starlink offering backhaul for rural cell sites where it might be cost prohibitive to run fiber. However, I'm not sure it would be more cost effective to use satellite backhaul than terrestrial microwave or fiber. Satellites aren't cheap, but who knows.

In terms of boosting the data transfer speed, that won't be simple. Terrestrial wireless (like cell carriers) can offer good speeds because each cell tower is covering a very limited area. If you're 20 miles away from me, we'll be connecting to different cell towers and therefore can use the same radio spectrum without interfering with each other. With satellites, a lot more people will be sharing the same radio spectrum. Now, I'm sure Starlink is operating under the idea that they can launch lots of satellites and get decent spectrum re-use. However, cell carriers have around 80,000 cell sites each. Starlink is only planning on launching 10,000-15,000 and hoping to get permission to get up to 30,000. That still means a lot more sharing of the same spectrum.

You can get higher speed by using more spectrum. However, that spectrum needs to be licensed, it isn't always cheap, and other people want to license it too. The way that the gigabit speeds from wireless carriers work is by using many hundreds of MHz of spectrum that can't go very far (because it gets disrupted by things like buildings, trees, etc.). Lower frequency spectrum can go further (since it penetrates objects better), but there's a pretty limited amount of it and most of it is already spoken for (whether that's TV, FM radio, current wireless service, etc.).

I think Starlink will provide a good option for many people who don't live in areas well-served by current internet options. It's a huge jump to believe that it will offer competition to cell carriers. It just isn't that type of technology and you run into limits that you can't really get around.

That's not to say that Starlink isn't important. It is important for many people who don't have access to good internet in the US and around the world, but it isn't going to provide competition for your cell phone provider.

I wonder if the issue is cultural. We've, mostly, come to understand the impact of the common media representation of (often) hyper thin "perfect" women on women and girls in general, which is a lot of the reason for pushback into various (often ad) campaigns to present more typical female forms. But, like many things, there's a lag in the appreciation that men can experience the same thing and have similar reactions. Perhaps because it occurs in smaller numbers (not sure), or just a different attitude towards how men should be. Admitting that men have similar body image issues and due to similar causes as women is harder for people to consider, let alone accept.
This is very much a solved problem.

> It mostly boils down to people pumping themselves full of steroids up until a week or so before the competition so they test clean.

This is wrong. None of the pro competitions do drug testing and no one stops using a week out. If they did test there wouldn't be any competitors.
Modern actors aren't as willing to sacrifice their health for muscle as their historical counterparts, especially because the lean look is preferred over the muscle-bound appearance of yesteryear. Thus, (with rare exceptions, like Christian Bale between The Machinist and Batman Begins), what you see on screen today is hard-earned through hours a day in the gym, a very regimented diet, and hydration timing.

Generally, to get to the level of single-digits body fat you see on screen, you're looking at 3-6 months of clean eating (or more, depending on the actor's physique when they land the role), meaning among other things, no alcohol, no sweets, and lots of eggs or chicken meals. Someone being paid a few million dollars can afford to pay a nutritionist to custom-design a diet to meet specific appearance goals, a and they have a huge incentive to stick with that diet. For example, Chris Pratt had to give up beer, pizza, and all dietary pleasures for six months to go from being the fat guy on Parks and Rec to the main hero of Guardians of the Galaxy.

On top of the diet, the actor is spending hours on near-daily exercise for several months. Chris Hemsworth eschews cardio for pure muscle-building, but Paul Rudd and Kumail Nujani each spent a year preparing for their Marvel roles, using a blend of cardio and full-body workouts (as, in contrast to Thor, Ant Man and Kingo have lean physiques but neither actor was particularly athletic when cast), while Pratt spent nearly 6 hours a day, 6 days a week, for over 6 months on cardio activities to cut weight for the first Guardians movie (as he already had the muscle for the character underneath his excess bulk and just needed to reveal them).

But the real trick to the "cut" look on screen is dehydration; actors don't drink for several hours before shirtless scenes, which makes them appear thinner and more defined. (In several interviews, Kumail Nujani talks about nearly passing out after several filming several shirtless scenes for The Eternals, which required him to limit water consumption for nearly 12 hours before shooting.) This is something you can actually try yourself at home: take a before pic, spend a few hours on a long cardio activity like running or biking, and then take an after pic before you rehydrate. You will appear thinner and your muscles (if they were visible beforehand) will appear more well-defined, even though they aren't any bigger.
How else do you release bombs? I believe that even modern stealth aircraft are more vulnerable when releasing missiles or bombs.

The thing is if the aircraft gets to the point of releasing bombs or missiles it has pretty much done its job. You won't get that far without being stealthy.
They had the same experience. They didn’t choose to fight each other as a matter of specificity, they chose to serve their country.

Soldiers are effectively tools of a nation and most of them understand that. They were both doing their jobs and why should they take it personally? They both came out the other side and if their roles had been reversed they would have done the same thing.
I think the logic usually goes that people get fat because they know they'll never look like what they see in the media. And so the argument is that if we bring those depictions more towards the attainable, then more people will feel like they can get there and not just give up altogether.

I don't just mean dollars. Getting everyone vaccinated is a huge national effort, nine to twelve months long, that we need almost everyone to participate in. Everyone has to trust the institution. So what happens if the first two vaccines were benign but also ineffective? How do you convince 300 million people that this time we've got it right?

It's worth noting the fastest ever vaccine development before this was 4 years; the early COVID vaccines were developed & authorized in 9 months and a large risk production ramp was started before authorization was granted.
Technically yes, as long as it will de-orbit in less than 25 years you don't need to. That being said not being able to de-orbit on command or maneuver out of a collision course is going to make getting tens of thousands of such satellites approved much less likely.

Also they are used as part of the normal operation of the satellites anyways, ~60 are launched together in one big clump and then the ion thrusters get them into the individual target orbits and keep them there over time (until fuel runs out trying to keep the orbit on track or the satellite stops being operationally useful), so getting rid of it does make it lighter but not necessarily better suited.

Most deaths are in over 65s. If the confidence interval on the vaccine working on over 65s is -130% to 90%, how can you possibly claim this vaccine will do anything. Their conclusions were based on data submitted by Astra Zeneca and data Astra Zeneca did not initially submit.

Breaking news this AM: South Africa just halted the use of the Astra Zeneca vaccine. It's being spun as being done because of evidence it doesn't work on the new strain. I strongly suspect once all the data is in, this vaccine will be found to be indistinguishable from placebo.
I've had that role twice! For me, perhaps I just haven't found the right place, it starts out as the best job I've ever had and then ends up being a terrible slog. Developers stop caring, management does the math and finds it easier to have you on staff but doing nothing really important because you keep making the dev team fix their SQL injections or XSS and they miss features and blame the fixes that you pushed for, and then you spend 90% of your time chasing dev's to update their libraries and you want to harm everyone. It's just a tough road to work if you are at all a creative developer that wants to see something you have built. I REALLY wanted to love that job but even for good companies it's very hard to find a good situation in my experience.

Well, the Mr. Olympias were some of the strongest men in history.

Ronnie Coleman was doing leg press reps in the 2,300 pound range, and he admitted after retirement wishing that he had gone heavier. His dumbbell presses over 200 pounds at 10+ reps per set is incredible. He had safety spotters in case the equipment broke bolts, not because he failed lifts.
