I think the existence of reasonable precautions such as prenuptial agreements indicates that this statement is false: many people enter into a marriage with the full knowledge that it may end before the death of one of the partners (presumably contrary to their desire at the time). I think that counts as "anticipating".

Only 5% of all married couples in the United States got married with a prenup. The fact that signing a prenup is so completely in everyone's interest and the fact that only 5% of marriages have them proves my point - no one is anticipating or looking forward to their own divorce.

Heinlein put it well: "We always marry strangers."

He was married 3 times. I'd be willing to bet he had 2 of those divorces behind him when he wrote that.

I would say middle class folks will probably consider marriage to be more important. Like Viktor Frankl would say, the meaning of your life is either from your work, love or courage in difficulty for survival.

Most middle class folks I am sure don't fall in third bucket; and a lot of them are just doing 9-5 jobs, probably not doing something which can drive them like say most of the big entrepreneurs or researchers seem to be.

So that leaves love, which would become kind of very important to give their life a meaning. Marriage being a vow to have that love lasting throughout seems special. I am in late 20s, and even though I would want to do something great, the strive to find someone compatible with me seems to weigh on my mind more these days.

If you want a truly awesome plant based meat experience for taste and mouth feel try "tartex" which is a nutritional yeast derived pate, and I eat it as itself, no fakery needed but revel in its foie like texture. Sold in tubes, invented more than 70 years ago. Perhaps a little too greasy afterward (I suspect it's palm oil) but heaps of umami.
If it's sitting in a truly opaque case, it definitely isn't a tape! Shutters aren't perfect, and they open every time the cassette is used. That sounds more like a hard drive? UV and other short wavelength light can come from inside the case or the crystal from background radiation or cosmic rays as well. Reed-solomon encoding, n-copies, they all have capacity tradeoffs and error rate detection/correction limits, and get away from the 'single bit' ideal quite a bit (for n-copies, at least by 2x, usually 3x even in the most ideal situation). It's also non-trivial to avoid something like a background radiation emission 'tunneling' through and causing non-trivial damage to a sector.

It's going to be statistical level analysis for awhile, at least at temps near room temperature or devices only practical in a specially shielded lab.

MRIs are heavily shielded and regularly calibrated, and are only doing bulk statistical analysis. AFM or MFM [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_force_microscopy] is the closest we can currently get, and they suffer from a number of issues, including damage to what it's touching, repeatability/precision issues, thermal drift, etc. and that is just getting what is usually a one time read.
My meta-fix for such a thing would be to hack up a script to start putting these interface error counters into prometheus, and then alerting on a spike above some threshold.

The complete schematics of the Xerox Alto are on Bitsavers. I don't think photos would help a lot with generating a PCB, since the chips cover much of the wiring.

For most purposes, you'd be better off using the ContrAlto emulator.

Every form of security has different threat models and appropriate countermeasures.

If you are trying to avoid your ISP knowing you are downloading movies a VPN is a good solution.

If you don't want others in the coffeeshop to be able to snoop on remaining unencrypted http traffic. VPN

If you don't want your employer to have a list of your web traffic from your personal device. VPN

If you don't want a service which you don't pay with a credit card to have a way to connect your pseudonym to your real name. VPN

If you want to opt out of some degree of dragnet surveillance/data collection via parties like your ISP. VPN

None of these are incredibly uncommon. VPSs work great for most scenarios. If your actions are dangerous to your continued existence or you need to keep your own government from watching you then you probably need to adopt far more stringent measures but I feel this is vastly less common than the above situations.

Having known many people who struggle with depression, please allow me to simply consider you a liar on this point at least. It is claims like this that make it obvious that NLP is either culty or snake-oil (or both).

Claiming that you can cure complex diseases with neurological and social and psychological causes in 10 minutes with repeatable algorithms inspired by applying linguistic analysis on the work of 3 therapists is so obviously bunk that I'm wondering if you'll next tell me about this one weird trick if I send you a one-off payment.

> the leading cause of death in several countries, including the US

One good thing about living in this time is that facts are trivial to look up. All the stastistical data is publicly available.

The leading cause of death in the US is still heart disease, then cancer.

> If you catch covid, it roughly doubles your chances of dying for the year

Not according to the CDC statistics, unless you mean some specific group, such as those aged 85+.

How many people even knows what chance it is they will die this year?
Right. When I know censorship is occurring it's harder for me to believe things.
As knowledge and technology, and thus capacity, advances, the definition and moral implication of "productive" changes.

Is it ethical to deny essentially free resources from people simply because they didn't perform some act you consider "productive" according to the medieval definition of working real hard?

Is it ethical for 11 rich people to simply own all the robots and all the land that actually produces all material needs, and since no one else except a few technicians and engineers can possibly have any sort of productive job by the old rules, they get none of the resources and shall just die, or, be relegated to agency-less slaves for the pointless amusememt of the few with actual jobs?

Is it ethical to pick any arbitrary time limit and say on day X you die, because that's the rules we made up? Even if that time limit is 1000 years, it's still arbitrary and constitutes a murder.

What younger members? There is no reason to assume that the birth rate will not eventually decrease to match the death rate, or eventually our expansion into space.

I see no problems with longer life that are worse than the current problem of dying.

These sorts of arguments are like being handed a bag of gold bricks and complaining that they are so heavy.

You know, you're right. Them gold bricks is just sooo annoyingly heavy. Because I am just that nice, I will suffer their burden for you.

You can die at your religion's appointed 80 years or whatever number you imagine, but there is no ethical argument why everyone else shouldn't seek to live both as long and as well as they can possibly manage, by any means short of vampirism.

Merely a lot of standard rules about how resources are distributed and how decisions and policy are made today would need to change to fit that different context of tomorrow. The ethical solution to that problem is to simply work on it.
Here's one possible solution: allow public figures to lie all they want, but also let them enter their advance predictions on some kind of permanent record (ironically, the blockchain would be pretty good for this). Whenever you meet a new pundit and don't know if they should be trusted, go check the chain. If they never registered any predictions, or it was all vague stuff, or specific but didn't come true, then just ignore them.

More hardcore variant: instead of predictions, keep a record of bets, or imaginary scrip in some kind of prediction market. Maybe call it "AccuracyCoin". If someone has a lot of it, that means they were right on a lot of bets where many others were wrong, so you should pay attention.

I'm also AIARE 1 certified and use this article to help educate my friends about how to behave after getting vaccinated for, or gaining natural immunity to COVID-19. Do not fall into a false sense of security of invincibility once you gain more knowledge or risk mitigation techniques. Don't be the idiot who got vaccinated and became one of the ~5% that still got infected or spread the disease.
Our culture doesn't have a lot of coming of age rituals or expectations. Lack of purpose and responsibility does not do good things to people or societies. Ambiguity in self identity can lead to emotional and psychological isolation, and things like loneliness epidemics. I totally agree with the need for communication, expectations/helping set goals, and love is spelled T.I.M.E.
> That's not necessarily bad, but if we're going to be messing with the market anyway we could choose to subsidize other things.

I'm saying we shouldn't pretend that meat is as cheap as it is on its own. We should acknowledge what the reality is: meat is cheap because as a society, we choose to use tax dollars to make it cheap.

We could do the exact same thing with plant-based meat. We could shift some of those subsidies so that meat and plant protein were equally subsidized. We could balance them out. We can talk about the logistics.

But I think sometimes the conversation gets stuck entirely on "how could we make artificial meat cheaper" when the reality is that animal meat is expensive, and the big difference between animal meat and plant meat is that we pretend that animal meat costs less than a free market would otherwise dictate. Of course I want to artificial meat to be cheaper, but I'm also not going to pretend that it's a fair fight.

The reason why this matters is because I do see arguments from people that say that it's just too expensive to have a social shift towards vegetarianism, and it can't possibly scale, and it's government interference to try and prop up plant-based foods. And yeah, we can have a values conversation about whether society wants us to make meat cheap. But most of the rest of those objections are crap. There are a lot of people that do think that meat is actually priced realistically based on what it costs to produce. They don't realize that it's just that our government chooses to make very specific farming outputs cheaper.

> Why would people that pay taxes prefer that model?

Because they actually want to control (or, at least not encourage through subsidization) the externalities of meat consumption?

What economic group so you think that concern comes from?

Indeed, my understanding of the scientific consensus is that a healthy vegan or vegetarian diet is perfectly possible. However the question is what happens when such a diet is forced on a large fraction of some population, either because meat becomes too expensive, or because plant-based alterantives become much cheaper. Are most people who can scarecely afford good nutritious food right now going to be able to maintain a healthy diet when they have even fewer alternatives than currently?

Edit: just to clarify in case I'm misunderstood, I'm talking about poor people because I don't worry that I won't be able to afford to eat as much meat as I like (which isn't that much anyway- I'm Greek, so Mediterrannean diet and all that. Like, ~60% of our cuisine is vegan or vegetarian only we call it "food").

I think you're reading way too much into that comment.

It's generally considered a fact that women have a slightly (statistically) more difficult time than men to find a partner after their 20s (and the reverse is true - men have it tougher in their 20s compared to women), and GP's comment is discussing why that complicates things wrt divorce.

> Notice that the comment never mentions that high-quality women would never want to raise someone else's kid.

I think that "high quality" means that they don't want to be second best to another man/woman. Totally understandable.
B12 and vegan supply of omega 3 fat is still a concern, especially for children and infants.

For example, if you use plant sources for your fat supply of DHA, you'd have to ingest enough ALA to make most people sick. So supplements are necessary for health, especially in children (vegan algae based supplements do exist).

Another question is soy reliance. Last I checked, we can reasonably assume that a "normal" amount of soy in a diet is a non issue. However, results during pregnancy and childhood are apparently lacking, and studies in rats show potential problems [1].

"Further investigation is needed before a firm conclusion can be drawn. In the meantime, caution would suggest that perinatal phyto-oestrogen exposure, such as that found in infants feeding on soy-based formula, should be avoided." [2]

Just to be clear here: I am a vegetarian. However, I never went full vegan because I think it does require a very mindful and conscious handling of nutrition - and a lot more research [3]

By extension, I do not think it is appropriate as a recommendation for the general public at this stage.

> I think it pushes away those who are on the cusp of moving towards plant-base foods.

I think you are completely wrong.

People eat meat because they like the taste and the texture, but at the same time everyone knows that meat is produced by killing animals, and that it's much less sustainable than vegetarian food.

If you want to get people to switch to meat alternatives, you have to keep everything that's great about meat (taste, texture, proteins), while removing everything that's bad about meat (slaughter, livestock industry).

And that is exactly what this new generation of plant-based alternatives are focusing on, and given their popularity compared to earlier attempts, I think they're on the right track.

Quick question: Are you yourself a vegetarian or vegan?

Sorry but what do you mean by “weirdly similar”? It’s a benchmark of minifiers against popular libraries, what’s the creative part?
Sure, what I'm saying that it also doesn't mean “the existence of health vegetarians is testament to the healthiness of veggie-‘meat’.”

The only websites to block my AWS IP are streaming providers like Netflix.

I don't believe VPN providers are buying residential IPs. They use a p2p architecture and route traffic through their customers, usually without informing them. If I do use a commercial VPN service, I prefer to use the openVPN client rather than their proprietary client.
of course. but even if you fix environment, girls will usually interact and experience the world different than boys which obviously will cause their brains to form differently. even though environment is same.

Also 'a month or two' ?

This is not in line with any projections.

In the US it's around summertime.

In Canada, it was 'by end of summer' - and now - it's 'anyone who wants a vaccine by end of 2021'.

And that's without the vaccine delays which have flatlined the roll-out, meaning, that timeline is now optimistic.

There is a material chance that many segments won't get vaccinated until way into the fall in Canada, supposedly a '1st nation' which is cause for revolutionary rethink of the incompetence of bureaucracy in face of an existential problem.

The opportunity cost of: 'lives lost, living conditions suppressed, massive economic damage' of the ongoing situation imply we should have been spending billions to refactor production sites and build out supply chains long before vaccine trials were complete. Even with the distinct likelihood that most vaccines wouldn't work or be deemed unsafe, it would still have made sense to at least ramp up manufacturing many months ago. Several billion dollars 'wasted' towards bad vaccines only to get a single good one, is orders of magnitude less than the 'wasted' lives and billions faced by many months delay in roll out.

It's a very simple calculation actually - spend a billion today to ramp up early, most of which might be wasted - to save 10 billion tomorrow in terms of early vaccination rollout.

In times of crisis, the press becomes a little bit propagandistic - what everyone is suppressing right now (because we plebes can't fathom to see it) is that governments around the world are spending the equivalent of an entire generation of deficit just in a few months. Frankly, the Capitol Hill Riots were a giant distraction from the severe underlying reality.

In that context, the speed and efficiency of the roll out is exceedingly consequential.

These are generational issues, this is our 'World War', the stuff that will define our era, and be studied for decades.
It’s very easy to eat healthily and cheaply on a vegetarian or vegan diet. In the UK I used Quorn or lentils as a major protein in a lot of my cooking, now I’m in Berlin I’m alternating between soy chunks, seitan (both of which I have to flavour myself), lentils, tofu, four types of preprepared tinned beans, soy milk, and cheese.

Most of these options have cheap subtypes. The most expensive part of my cooking is the fancy stuff that isn’t strictly necessary, like fresh basil or pre-made pastry, and even those are not hugely expensive.

> The impression I get from that message is that it is far easier to be healthy if you don't avoid meat. You don't have to watch your nutrition much.

The obesity crisis in the developed world, combined with the low rate of no-meat diets, rather contradicts that.

> You just have to use common sense.

How do you define “common sense” such that this sentence differentiates between the effectiveness of meat and non-meat diets?
Interesting comparison. It becomes even more interesting with extensions installed. My Chrome with five extensions and 10 tabs is happy to use 10 GB of RAM. So there is not too much left for Visual Studio Code ( several gigs) and Node.js (1 gig).

KindleUnpack doesn't seem to handle DRM though.
Exactly. I think we’re way too much and this is the part that is not sustainable.

Unfortunately it’s apparently way more trendy to become vegan than to say we’re simply too much.
I’m on my phone at the moment and can’t break down that list line-by-line, but in Canada you already do pay surcharges for many (not all) of those things. E-waste is nominally priced at the cost of recycling for various device types; electricity, natural gas, and gasoline, and aviation all have a (not insignificant!) carbon tax associated with them.
