> Of the thousands of chemicals used in fragrances, most have not been tested for toxicity, alone or in combination. Many of these unlisted ingredients are irritants and can trigger allergies, migraines, and asthma symptoms. iii A survey of asthmatics found that perfume and/or colognes triggered attacks in nearly three out of four individuals. iv There is also evidence suggesting that exposure to perfume can exacerbate asthma, and perhaps even contribute to its development in children.

> In 1986, the National Academy of Sciences tested commonly used fragrances for neurotoxicity; however, the results have still yet to be released. The good news is that many other tests have been done. In fact, in 1991 the EPA tested conventional, synthetic perfumes and found a long list of toxic chemical ingredients, including acetone, benzaldehyde, benzyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, camphor, ethanol, ethyl acetate, limonene, linalool, methylene chloride as well as phthalates, stearates, and parabens.

> “The average fragrance product tested contained 14 secret chemicals not listed on the label,” reports EWG, which analyzed the Campaign’s data. “Among them are chemicals associated with hormone disruption and allergic reactions, and many substances that have not been assessed for safety in personal care products.” EWG adds that some of the undisclosed ingredients are chemicals “with troubling hazardous properties or with a propensity to accumulate in human tissues.” Examples include diethyl phthalate, a chemical found in 97 percent of Americans and linked to sperm damage in human epidemiological studies, and musk ketone, which concentrates in human fat tissue and breast milk.

I know it well.

You apparently don't know the definition of "American". I have never seen a native speaker make a mistake like that.

> Apparently you don't even understand blatant sarcasm, are you one?

I understand sarcasm just fine. Calling a Haitian road "American" is not sarcasm. Yes, English is my first and only language.

You said a picture was from the USA, and I doubted this, so I went and spent time chasing down the actual source. That's not facetiousness or sarcasm, that's either an innocent error, or misleading and antisocial. I interpreted it as innocent error, and attempted to politely correct your knowledge and explain, and now you reply with this argumentative comment, implying you deliberately attempted to mislead and waste our time. I won't reply further.

I think it's more important than ever to clarify the difference between long-term investing and short-term speculation with young people.

Many young people are entering the market with an expectation that cryptocurrency prices only go up and that they can outperform Wall Street by getting hot tips (DD) from meme-infused posts on Reddit.

When it doesn't work out, they swear off "investing" when they never actually did anything beyond speculation and daytrading.

I hope apps like Robinhood find a good way to encourage portfolio balance, dollar cost averaging, and risk management over time.

Transfer of adversarial perturbations between models is one of the main avenues of "black box" (where you don't know the target model's weights) attacks. Perturbations don't translate between models 100% of the time or anything, but many attacks are surprisingly transferable. There are also methods to make perturbations more transferable, for example by finding an attack that is effective against an ensemble of models, you increase the chances that it will transfer to an unseen model.

I'll believe it when I see it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constellation_program

Every decade there's a plan to return to the moon by the next decade and it always gets cancelled half way through.

I doubt the US can do this any longer as it has lost all the institutional knowledge of how to run such a program since the 70s. I'd go so far as to say that it is impossible to run a successful manned mission past low earth orbit with the current incentives in government and the risk aversion in terms of both cash and lives.
Strange. I type with 10 fingers since 20 years or so (self-learned with some programs back then) and actually my only real problem comes from the number row since it just doesn't come to me intuitively, like it's simply wrong (and yes, i don't type numbers really often - that's also why I wouldn't agree with your reasoning that the 6 is responsible for a hard time adapting, since the 6 will simply not be typed very often for non-accountants. If you had said C/V/B, I'd agree). Only now that I've seen the Atreus62 I've come to believe that the number row (and C,V,B) are simply wrong on a standard keyboard. They simply don't work as they should be. At least for me personally.
I agree,

I feel the burden of proof is in the new theory, rather than - here is a hypothesis, prove its wrong.

It's pretty clear in the small scale studies co2 concentration affects temperature in the direction or warming in the long term and the short term affect of cooling because less energy makes it to the surface. (Similar to clouds or smog/ smoke blocking light)

Grant Sanderson has made a brilliant effort but his explanation is too complicated to convey to his audience in a 20-minute video. Yes, even a video with his trademark 2D animated graphics.

We're still in the phase where different models can play cat and mouse, but I wouldn't count on this lasting very long. Given that we know it's possible to correctly recognize these perturbed images (proof: humans can), it's only a matter of time until AI catches up and there's nothing you can do to prevent an image of your face from being identified immediately.

Interesting idea. I think if you put perfectly reflective mirrors inside a Dyson sphere larger in radius than Earth's orbit, the photons would bounce around until they hit the Sun, Earth, the Moon, Venus or Mercury. It seems before too long, (a few reflections), the radiation would be uniform from all directions throughout the volume of the sphere. The mirror would get as warm as all the planets, and would fail at some not too extreme temperature. Unless I'm missing something.

Sorry OP, got distracted reading the great comments.

If someone really wants to have communications ability beyond land lines and cell phones, which often Fail under emergency conditions, then for some people I recommend spending the time and effort in getting an Amateur (Ham) Radio License.

FRS radios are for local, close-by communications like inside theme parks, County Fairs and such, and have limited practicality in an emergency situation for several reasons.

But, Ham Radio, specifically the 2 Meter band, is a network with established emergency communications protocols that save lives every year all over the world, and it's all run and maintained by Volunteers!

It can also be used for non commercial, personal communications, but it's not like a cell phone which is mostly private, so anyone with a similar radio or radio scanner can listen in to your Ham radio conversations.

It's akin to talking to a friend in public or a restaurant.

Once one learns the Ham radio communication protocols, it's an amazing radio service to belong to, and if one is intellectually curious, you can follow multiple paths of interest within it, far beyond mere personal or emergency communications.

But, one has to learn and be comfortable with the Tool, because your Radio won't save you if you don't know how to use it.

For instance, changing the transmit and receive frequency during a stressful emergency, or actually knowing how long you can use it before the battery is depleted, and do you have spares, and are they kept charged?

If Not, you are back to being a part of the problem instead of the solution.

One can't be "the Hero" without planning and practicing beforehand, so learn the tool of the trade, so to speak, spend several months using and getting to know your radio.

Spend a lot of time on the air talking to other Hams, learn their call signs and the language of Ham Radio, and once you are "there" you'll be able to back off your on air activities some, but will be able to react instantly, without pressure, to any emergency you find yourself in.

Practice makes perfect, truly applies to Ham radio under stressful emergency conditions.

So my long winded advice is... Don't get your Ham license unless you are willing to put in the time to learn how to use it without referring to the manual.
> (b) the collision problems of MD5 aren't really a problem here, as why would someone [] have an incentive to make their file falsely look like this malware.

While your overall point is correct, there is a specific tactic where a collision attack would be useful: make two md5-colliding versions of the virus that behave subtly differently, in a attempt to make researchers throw out useful hypotheses about how it works because someone already determined that (the other version of) it didn't actually do that.
In a meeting situation (assuming not just very close friends+family): even if you're alone, your comments aren't necessarily going to remain private. If you say something nasty/bitchy/unprofessional, it's going to get out.

Oh that’s good to know. I just be running on outdated information.
As well as two demonstrations that the aircraft meets the design specification that even a catastrophic failure in the worst stage of flight is easily recoverable. I'd expect an increased inspection rate, possibly some new mandated ND testing for fractures and discontinuities (the last one was an LP shaft failure, IIRC).

One thing that does bug me, though is that we now have two events where the shroud was lost. Were these uncontained failures (problematic because of potential for wing damage) or contained faiLures followed by aerodynamic shedding of the damaged shroud (system functioning as designed). I'm also somewhat concerned about the fire remaining in the burner stage. Might have just been lubricants, but I'd want to make sure the fire handle had been pulled and investigate whether it worked correctly.
What part did you find disgusting? They said the parents "want their babysitters back". Hardly shocking or outrageous.
Well, you need to get competent enough before you take on a role as package maintainer. For start, imagine that you are one.

First, choose a package that really matters to you. On a daily basis. A package that you yourself would NEED to have it up2date the next day a new version is out.

Get the source deb and try to build it. Usually it's not very hard.

Then, try to do the same on all the debian variants (unstable, stable, ...)

If you succeed and the package works, you have the prerequisite competencies, at least as a beginner.

Then, these are some of the things that you will need to do, quite often.

Change the configuration of the package description so that you can build it with a later version of the source. For all variants of the distro.

Then try the same with the package dependencies, where those dependecies are not needed for other packages.

Then try to push it as close towards the latest source version, as you can without breaking stuff.

Once you do all that without issues and you are confident that you can use the version you built from source as a daily driver and you are not bothered by that, contact the original maintainer directly and offer help, sharing the details what you did as proof that you are competent enough.

If the maintainer is uncollaborative or unresponsive, put up your own repo for public use, and invite the public to install the package from your repo, so that the public will see some benefit and you will receive zillion of bug reports to further streghten your competence level.

It's definitely is a muscle that can atrophy, and can be rebuilt. It takes about 3 weeks of reading most days for me to re-learn how to do it. Even after that period, it still takes me 10 - 15 minutes to properly slip back into a novel, which feels like an eternity when we're so used to instant gratification, but it's not so long if your average reading session is the length of an average film.

> I’ve just been living with the downsides of pla. Should I just switch to petg?

As far as utility goes it's so much sturdier as a material that I don't even comprehend why people use PLA, especially considering they are very similar in price, and it's much easier to work with than ABS since it is not particularly prone to warping. If PLA can realistically be composted though, that's another story, bu I was under the impression 3D print PLA isn't the same as compostable PLA cups.

> I have my printer in my bedroom though. Is petg toxi to breathe?

PETG is not known to be toxic, so it's a much better choice than ABS if you don't have a garage or fully ventilated area. That said, I'm always skeptical and I don't keep my 3D printer in my bedroom.
This accords with my experience. I think of myself as a lazy person... until I get into a project I care about, at which point I can happily work myself into the ground.
I can think of very few things in this world less romantic than programming. Possibly accounting, not even sure about that one.
If we require children to be in school, that's essentially what they are doing is babysitting, but hopefully teaching. I think teachers like working from home and they don't want to go back to the classroom, it's that simple. The only people I hear complaining about returning to the classroom are, well, teachers. At some point they have to go back, whether they like it or not.
I had not heard of that interpretation. Interesting.
