We’re just witnessing advertising’s race to the bottom. Eventually everything published is questioned because all forms of media are incentivized to push drivel for eyeballs.

The optimist in me see’s how ridiculous and blatant the drivel is becoming and suspects we’ll achieve some sort of collective enlightenment before we extinct ourselves. A smarter media then emerges (timing is everything here) eschewing advertising dollars in favour of a more consumer friendly model.

Then again, I’m probably being naive.
In short, yes, kind of. There is a decrease in success the older the mother is, but the age of the eggs plays a key role in the success rate. 20 year old eggs have a higher chance of success with IVF than 35 year old eggs.

There is also a human element. Unit 1 had been retrofitted with an Isolation Condenser, which is capable of cooling the core and preventing a meltdown without needing the pumps that couldn't run due to lack of power. This is exactly the type of upgrade people often suggest.

Unfortunately, for reasons that are still murky, this system wasn't activated, and Unit 1 melted down. The problems at Unit 1 also contributed to the problems at other units, causing radiation hazards, diverting personnel and attention, etc.

In fact, a larger version of this system is touted as one of the major safety features of the newer AP1000 plants, because all it requires is that you open a couple of valves, and the reactor can be safely shutdown as long as you add water every couple of days. Unfortunately at Fukushima, they didn't open the valves.

All of that said, the absolute damage from the accidents at Fukushima was tiny in comparison to the other damage from the tsunami, and much less than the damage of operating coal plants with no accidents whatsoever in Japan.
I think you're meant to use snprintf instead. It would be great to see documentation on the alternatives!
I've got two small kids and some of this resonates with me. I just ordered the book, so we'll see. I'm a little skeptical of the 'learn from ancient cultures' angle but I don't begrudge the publisher the need to have a marketing gimmick.

If this book peaks your interest, you may be interested in checking out the book Do Parents Matter?: Why Japanese Babies Sleep Soundly, Mexican Siblings Don't Fight, and American Families Should Just Relax. The title is more gimmicky than the book itself. It compares parenting styles across a lot of different cultures and has some interesting insights. For instance, they make a convincing case that toddler tantrums (the terrible 2s) are a cultural phenomenon. There are places in the world where 2- and 3-year-olds don't throw tantrums the way they do in the United States. That doesn't mean those other cultures are doing a better (or worse) job, just that they are reinforcing different behaviors based on different goals and values.

https://smile.amazon.com/Do-Parents-Matter-Japanese-Siblings...

I had a few main takeaways from the book:

- There is a very wide range of parenting styles around the world, most of which turn out perfectly good adults.

- You can be reflective about your own style but it will largely be a product of your own background and values. Be realistic with yourself about what you can change.

- You are not the only people in your children's lives, and you should take that into account. If your style is completely at odds with the other people around them (teachers, grandparents, etc.) you should take that into account.

- The feedback cycle is slower than most people think, IMO. If your 3-year-old is throwing tantrums you can come up with strategies to mitigate the problem, but they are probably doing it based on things you did 6-12 months ago (or more). You should remember this and go easy both on your kid and yourself.

I only have 2 kids and the oldest is 3.5, so take all this with a grain of salt. I need about 30 years and a few hundred more children before I can draw any conclusions with much confidence, and even then it will be a pretty flawed experiment.

I mean, of course? what else do you expect with $500/mo capped at 2 years?

that's not UBI. the test needs to be at least $1k/mo, indefinitely.
People can be neurochemically addicted to coffee. I suspect the same can be said of social media.
Women across all income demographics desire men who make as much or more than them. It's a fundamental preference that OKCupid identified a long time ago.

As a man, I don't fault this. The risk to a man of reproducing with a woman who isn't great at making money isn't as high, at a fundamental level, as it is for women. A man isn't incapacitated in any way by the act of reproducing. Nor is he prevented or blocked out of reproducing with others, at an evolutionary level. A woman is at great risk for mating with a man who isn't a good provider. If he abandons her, she's stuck. This was the reality for our ancestors, and those preferences are baked into our genes. The opportunity cost of mating with a loser was horrific for women.

In case anyone thinks that preference is cultural, it's not. It exists across every culture on the planet, not unlike the biological attraction men have to women who display physical features that are indicative of high fertility.

Biology is brutal and doesn't care about fairness or morality.
snprintf will always terminate the string, and won't overflow the buffer.

We do that with airplanes. Think about it - you're flying at 30,000 feet, 500 mph, 50 degrees below zero, no land in sight over the North Atlantic, in a tin balloon loaded to the gills with fuel and two flaming engines.

And yet you're perfectly safe.

How did that come about? Tolerance of failure.

I think the sibling comment may have already answered your question, but if not, I think an earlier response I had might help clarify what exactly I'm comparing & why: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26340952

Note that you do need to read the entire paper to see the overall picture and its consequences; if you stop halfway then it might appear like I'm comparing things unfairly.

> I think the idea is that if we continue to print money, the dollar will eventually collapse as the world's reserve currency, and nations will use the yuan or euro instead - having a material effect on American persons life outcomes.

So, if poor people are given "Free" money to express a demand for goods and services they currently possess but do not have the funds to express, how does this lead to inflation - more specifically how does this lead to fruitless inflation?
I'm not sure I follow. The vessel head corrosion was detected, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission had the plant shut down. How does a story of a safety issues being detected, and operations ceased accordingly indicate unsafe management? It demonstrates the opposite.
That to me is really how we need to be emphasizing education in science for young people.

We tend to give the impression that we’ve figured almost everything out, and so you’re just learning the facts of it all.

Really, we’ve carved out a little island in a sea of ignorance, and the foundations of the island are just our current best rough approximations that might collapse.

An example from the field I’m in — biology. It’s quite likely that if you worked at it you can describe a new species in your backyard. You don’t have to go to the Amazon rainforest, there’s scientific unknowns all around you all the time.
Definitely see how embedded lending could be a value-add for a number of businesses! Two questions:

1. Is the main draw for your customers being able to increase customer retention over time?

2. How are applications distributed to the top lenders, on the back end? Is there an auction process?
Very much this. I frequently write small games in C, and the number of times I have been bitten by baffling behaviour because a string somewhere was copied into an array that was too short, are many! Apart from that, I love the simplicity of the language and the stdlib, and it's definitely my preferred hobby programming environment.

It would be good to know what the commonly-accepted alternatives are.
Edited:
Looks like they have safe alternatives:
"

- strlcpy() if you really just need a truncated but
NUL-terminated string (we provide a compat version, so
it's always available)

- xsnprintf() if you're sure that what you're copying
should fit

- strbuf or xstrfmt() if you need to handle
arbitrary-length heap-allocated strings
"

I personally agree with your sentiment but the two provided advice examples are not comparable, it's not just about giving a birth but also raising your kids which can give your career a good break. Incidentally this perspective also reveals our sad state of priorities.
fmemopen takes the buffer length, and there is no need to have the buffer \0 terminated, so instead of strlen you can also just give the buffer size.

The number of bytes parsed can be fetched with the scanf %n format specifier.
So when the next economic crisis comes you would rather have central banks not interfere with the crisis at all. Just let the crisis solve itself. Is that what you're saying? Also, you seem to think that taking monetary policy away from central banks will lead somehow to governments making good fiscal policy decisions, whatever that is. Where do you get that from? The gold standard never stopped governments from going bankrupt. Monetary policy in the hands of incompetent authorities can be disastrous, but this is no reason to get rid of it. Otherwise we should also get rid of many things, including laws and government.
On a side note. Has anyone gotten the android client reproducible builds to work recently? I have been unsuccessful but have not spent much time figuring out whats broken so far.
Pollution has long term effects. It's funny that now when we talk about nuclear we _care_ about the long term effects. Let's be honest, it's simply imprinted in our common consciousness as scary and that is that.

Besides, most reactors do not affect a large area unless they go wrong and the examples are quite far in-between.
> it wasn't automatically assumed that you would be a worse founder or professor or software engineer just because you have 2-4 years you didn't commercially work.

Is there any scenario in life were someone with 2-4 more years of experience (maybe 50% more at that point in time) isn't more valued for their greater experience? What is the difference between a junior and senior engineers salary for instance? A 4 year break is possibly worse in that regard.

If they have a Mac, then yes. You can enable download of all full-resolution photos from iCloud to a Photos library which can be stored anywhere and is stored in a standard directory structure.
Although I do consider "digital feudalism" a legitimate risk, I don't think this is a good example. An increasing number of people don't have laptops but instead just phones and game consoles, so so have no access to normal data-centric affordances.

There is a real risk but it's not that different from the pre cloud era: that of proprietary formats. Google Docs itself is proprietary (if you map the Google Drive files to your local filesystem in the style of Dropbox the actual local data store locally is just a URI). It's worse, but not a huge amount worse than having your files be a proprietary blob, say a Word file.

And there are of course innumerable services that have data that never leaves the cloud from Facebook at one extreme to various services such as Gantt charts that aren't downloadable in any meaningful way.

But as I said I don't think this one case is a good example: In the case of Apple's stuff, I can keep it all current on my laptop: just tell photos, iCloud files, music etc to keep a complete copy on the local disk (i.e. don't treat it as a chache) and then back up normally. Music, photos, etc are stored in normal files (JPEG and mp3). My IMAP client downloads everything (messages and attachments) so if I were willing to use iCloud mail or gmail everything would be backed up; ditto for my calendars and address book. This is the same for many other cloud providers like Dropbox.
It's also an extremely common word in Spanish meaning "align" – which in the context of their brand can be taken to mean to align oneself to a set of beliefs.
But most SaaS companies don’t make protocols, they make web applications. So I’m not really sure what’s implied by these trivial-to-implement protocols. Having a functional and well documented API isn’t a protocol. An open protocol would be more like a situation where any vendor could implement an “iCloud service”, and any “iCloud client” could connect to any vendors service.

Carmel-by-the-Sea
I'm really excited about the dream that we'll be able to learn from neural networks. Shan Cater and Michael Nielsen wrote a really inspiring article on this (https://distill.pub/2017/aia/). I also wrote something about this a while back (http://colah.github.io/posts/2015-01-Visualizing-Representat...).

One of the amazing things about this project exploring CLIP was seeing some hints of this. For example, one day I was studying one of the Africa neurons and it generated the text "IMBEWU" -- it turns out this is a popular TV show in South Africa (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imbewu:_The_Seed). That's a trivial example, but it begins to hint at something interesting.

I'd really love to see what a domain expert analyzing CLIP would make of things. For example, I'd love to hear what ethnographers think of the region neurons, or what historians think of the time period neurons. Especially for future, larger models.
The HTML version seems to not redirect to a URL specific to your search (i.e. it doesn't include a ?s= ... parameter).

Anyone an idea how I can configure this search engine in Firefox Mobile?

As far as I can see, there is no way I can teach FF Mobile to make a POST request instead.
one thing to note is look at the outbreaks specifically, such as the one in England 1665 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPe6BgzHWY0

We often forget of looking at the diaries and writing of the people at the time, the ones that actually lived during this time as opposed to academic articles opining on some small piece of data.

The one thing of note was that the outbreak ended as soon as cold set in, specifically the first freeze. The ending was very abrupt, so it seems reasonable to me to ask: what did that frost kill? why was the vector for the plague eliminated by a frost and did not return the next year?

It makes me wonder if mosquitoes (like a specific species) were somehow spreading the disease.
Portability, yes, but does it require portability to another specific service? I understand being able to get your data out of a platform, but I don’t see a requirement that a given entity provide explicit transfer to another.
They should probably add sscanf.
Thanks for the link. Unfortunately this seems very exclusionary. Do I have to have an iPhone to listen?
The trouble with printf-family functions is their variadic nature. If the arguments don't match the format string, you can wreak all sorts of havoc.

A fun exercise you can do is put a "%s" in the format string, omit the string argument and see what happens to the stack.
Switzerland is an example of this and probably the reason they have not joined the EU. Just look at the quality of life, median salary, indices after indices, Switzerland comes ahead of EU in every measure.
strlcpy is the safe way, that is used by git.
The DTCC raised the requirement, and my understanding is that these requirements are generated formulaically; not publicly available, but is based on volume, volatility, etc of the individual underlying assets, and how exposed specific institutions are to that volatility.

The DTCC wouldn't care one way or another if GME went up or down. They're goal is to make sure that different parties are able to settle their obligations with a very high degree of certainty, and ensure that investors won't lose their money with solvent brokerage firms or other intermediaries.

If you're arguing that the DTCC is beholden to the whims of a (relatively) miniscule hedge fund, you're crossing into conspiracy theory territory.
Many of C's problems relate to string handling. These are all legacy functions which have been replaced with safe alternatives many decades ago.

strcpy() was replaced with a safer strncpy() and in turn has been replaced with strlcpy().

The list is a ban of the less safe versions, where more modern alternatives exist.
Thank you.

I’m firmly in the zone of “I don’t know what I don’t know” when it comes to neuroscience but the hard emphasis on the areas of the brain not being specialised was in stark contrast to literally everything I’ve read about the brain and neuroscience to date.

I wonder if the author is pushing both sides of the coin of “myth” and “reality” way to far to the extremes.

I agree with another commenter that perhaps the author is trying to push back against older, more rigid ideas of much more extreme separation of functions of the brain in a more primitive sense.

But some detail is lost here, because as far as I’m concerned (and I’m heartened by the support that your more experienced and expertise-led comment provides) the brain absolutely and demonstrably has specialised areas that focus on certain functions.

So in an effort to bust these “myths” I feel parts of this article just serve to muddy the water and add some confusion rather than clarity.

Your experience is far from universal. Twitter has made my life measurably worse: I'm less happy, have less free time, react less charitably to people I disagree with.

To be honest, I still don't understand how people use the word. Am I addicted to water? I have nasty physiological reactions if I stop using it. What about sleep? Is that a bad habit I should get rid of?
When is google going to offer to transfer my photos to iCloud? I've done it using their export.. it was a nightmare. Dates aren't preserved.
These companies are spending billions to destroy your self control, it’s a nuanced situation... but they’re using absurd amounts of power to undermine us. We don’t have the high ground. They are actively and knowingly manipulating people’s emotions.

I recognized that I am not equipped to fight them, so I left and will encourage others to really think about whether or not they can put up a fight. IMO most people don’t even know they’re being manipulated and that’s absurdly dangerous.

Fiddling with the demand side causes problems.

Better would be to lift the restrictions on supply, loosen the zoning laws.

/Soapbox (not aimed at you): I've been reading zoning regulations in several localities. "Land of the free" my ass! More like control and conformity. It doesn't make sense to me why accessory dwelling units are not allowed in areas with high demand, or more duplexes, triplexes, and walkups. There's no safety issues involved. It's simply greedy property owners imposing on others because they are selfish and can get away with it.
They're "government run" in the sense that the government hires out contractors and there's horrible oversight and incentive to create conditions where you receive more work.

For example, with education we keep expanding funding for private schools (for profit) over public schools. With subways in NYC we give out absurd amounts of cash to MTA to run it and just hope they're being honest, but costs keep increasing and there's very little to be shown for it. With government systems we could invest in great infrastructure, but why invest in a long term solution that decreases maintenance when you can be charged ridiculous amounts by the only contractor that knows the frankenstein codebase that they purposely developed to be unmanageable.

Yes they should, but what will happen is websites and apps will get fatter and sloppier until the end result is slow, laggy performance.

It's a bit like doubling your salary and increasing your spending by more than double. That seems to be how website and app development behaves.

Imagine if bandwidth increased, latency decreased (approaching theoritical minimums), and websites/apps were built with a strict (but appropriately flexible) network budget.

Perhaps the best catchphrase here is "weakest link".

Even with 500+ mbps up and down, and pihole blocking a lot of ads, and noscript blocking some analytics and other trackers, a lot of web experiences are underwhelming.

Also, the recent fascinating post about how someone sped up GTA 5 online illustrates how the weakest link can be so weak that it ruins everything.
