The galaxies of the local group won't recede from us.

Telescopes as recently as the early 20th century could not resolve the sky well enough to determine which nebulae are in the Milky Way, are satellites of the Milky Way, are in the local group, or are outside it. This lack of observation allowed the Shapeley-Curtis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Debate_(astronomy) to last as long as it did -- it ended with clear observations of light curves within M31 and other galaxies in the local group. Those observations will remain available for a lonnnnnnnnnnng time after there are no other galaxy groups in the view of anything in the local group.

Moreover, the relic fields (cosmic microwave background and cosmic neutrino background) will be detectable (at least in principle) as they grow ever colder in the far future, so at least the radiation and dark energy sectors can be rediscovered in the distant future when there are no highly redshifted galaxies left to see.

We are lucky to have clear views of redshifted, dimmed, smaller-on-the-sky spiral galaxies at all sorts of orientations to us (including face on). Those certainly help us to understand galactic evolution, and also provide us lots of interesting objects (gas and dust clouds, active nuclei, stars, supernovae) "in the past". In the far future, the local group will have fewer spirals, fewer stars, almost no low-metallicity stars, and so on, and recovering those from observation of what's left in the distant future will be more difficult. But around the garganguan black holes left in the local group in the very far future there will still be plenty of dust and gas and cooling stellar remnants; the occasional star will probably form, but not often. Still, the volume will be large enough far into the future that "not often" simply invites wider searches of the sky. Supernovae don't happen often, but thanks to all-sky surveys like http://www.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/~assassin/index.shtml we see A LOT more of them than could have been hoped for a hundred years ago. Far future astronomers might have a super-hyper-ultra ASAS-SN type programme to look for the earliest signs of star formation in what's left of the local group.

Of course as you note, even better would be if the far future astronomers can recover the records of earlier astronomers, rather than having to rediscover everything from scratch using the "records" provided by nature at astronomical scales.

The far far future where one cannot see distant galaxies from the local group is very very very very very much earlier than the epoch of fluctuations into Boltzmann brains, vacuum decay, etc. etc., none of which is a really reliable prediction of well-tested theory. (In fact, they are diagnostic of theoretical deficiencies: how do we prevent objects that can happen according to a theory from happening according to that theory, given that we do not see those objects? This recurs a lot at the edges of theoretical physics: in General Relativity it's the basis for developing the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_condition (s) for instance).
Pretty much all XMPP software supports mentions by scanning incoming messages for... well, a mention of your name.

XEP-0372 (your second link) is a way for sending clients to more explicitly mark mentions in a message. Clients are gradually switching to this instead of the text scanning technique.

The first link you gave is to a proposal in the inbox (it wasn't accepted), and the third to a relatively new proposal that is mostly for servers to help them know when to send push notifications to offline users in a group.

This is currently why a lot of people are complaining screen recorders do not work.

There are solutions to this, which allow finer grained access to screen recording in future, but there are a couple of competing standards right now.
It’s not for disagreeing or holding a different opinion. It’s for being rude. Whatever your opinion, sometimes it’s good manners to moderate how you express it.
What makes you think we would see better outcomes if workers had more power than managers?
The way the US patent system works compared to other countries is that it's closer to copyright (though not quite copyright): any crappy idea can be patented as long as there's no prior art. The burden of proof is on those who own the patent and those who want to challenge it on court. The Bureau registers everything and then lets the businesses fight in courts.

This approach gives the US an advantage on the international patent market too: an American patent holder has the priority rights in other countries where it wishes to register the same patent.

All this kind of makes sense - kind of - but in practice there seem to be a lot of crappy patents with prior art that remain unchallenged and sometimes even confirmed in courts despite prior art.

This is what's broken. 1-click checkout shouldn't have been registered not because it's crappy but because there were web sites doing something very close or even similar under a different name. Those businesses either never bothered, were too small or went out of business by the time Amazon could be challenged in courts. I believe there are many more examples like this.

Someone has to take the burden of identifying prior art. The PTO doesn't seem to be interested, it's just extra work for them which as a govt. agency they tend to minimize. Businesses that could present prior art can be too small or even out of business by the time a patent is registered.

I believe it's a matter of some additional regulations but because I'm not a lawyer I can't really say how to fix this system.
Yeah it’s not _just_ 50ms cpu, there are other constraints like 50 sub requests, 6 open connections etc.

Still faaairly generous, good luck getting 50 sub requests done in 50ms if you had to measure against wallclock =)
If my understanding of the history is correct, Shimano may have made the first reliable indexed shifting system; but of course, that worked best if you had matched derailleurs, shifters, and rear cassette/freewheel. With friction shift, whoever was picking components could mix and match all those parts.

And then you're buying a bunch of parts from them already, might as well try their other stuff, and then you end up with all the parts that have room for a logo saying shimano.
I find it helps to say "I'll just work on this for X minutes" and time myself. The Pomodoro Method is a simple way to get started, although personally I track time more granularly using a set of shell scripts, but the habit of recording when I start and stop focused work took a while to build up.
Flying increases Cancer risk because of Cosmic Radiation. Solar Flares while flying are extremely dangerous.
Maybe it is related, maybe it is not but: Evolution has also ignored bike-type of solutions for movement.
For equal target transfer rate and range, I don't think there would be a mode that any WiFi tech beats BLE in terms of using less power.

If power is your concern, have you considered nRF5 devices?
Nordic has a proprietary profile for sending serial data over BLE (NUART) but AFAIK, you could only connect to one device at a time (not many).
Then make it seven feet or whatever number works so people pushing the envelope are still doing what you want.
I have similar problem. I'm a freelancer, charging $200/hr but it still doesn't feel good enough. As soon as I stop "running", funds are burning down fast. I'm spending about half of my time building side projects (eg nutritionanalyzer.app), but none of them generate any significant money.

Thinking about selling niche enterprise solutions, but this is boring as hell.

YouTube is thriving, maybe I'll focus on it next year.

I think you missed a joke here ;-)
The public platform being the Internet.
Nobody forced Rogan to move their content to a closed platform like Spotify. Before that they seemed to be able to discuss what they wanted with who they wanted.
But instead of their freedom of content production, they picked the money.
That's as simple as that.
If they want to keep producing "freedom" content they just have to break the contract (and give back some of the money) or produce under another name on self owned platform (and build back the community).
`tldr` has been very useful for me since I discovered it.

No, it's impossible for them to categorically show that it wasn't. However, they could make an extremely strong case if they completely documented all ongoing research activities in the lab before the beginning of the pandemic. This would involve total disclosure of the activity of every researcher, open access to all materials and the sequencing of all viral samples and cultures.

It is not feasible to do this probably. The WIV even claims to have completely consumed all biosamples related to RaTG13, which is the most-closely-related known virus to SARS-CoV-2. Supporting such an investigation is completely counter to their interests (speaking both of the institute and the CCP).

The overwhelming evidence is that SARS-CoV-2 emerged completely adapted to humans. This has been confirmed by the amazing lack of initial adaptation to the new human host. We only saw major changes in the spike resulting in a change in phenotype later in 2020. The proximal origins of the spike protein suggest a primate or human host. For this to happen, a natural origin in another species is astronomically improbable. It's the strongest evidence that we'll ever have as to the origins of the virus, and to this biologist it is completely indicative of what happened. We will only know the full truth if people speak out.
Actually the 1 in 10 million figure I used is based on number of fatal crash per flight. I thought it was roughly 1 in 10 million flights ending in fatal crash, but that was couple years ago. It's actually more like 1 in 3.7 million flights. so if you take 100 of those flights, I figured the odds would be 1 in 37,000.

Anyway, happy to be corrected.
> Random example: in Sway, Chrome and all Electron apps have blurry text on displays with scaling other than 1.0.

That’s literally because of X. Both of them run by default in XWayland, but chrome do have wayland support already (but has to be enabled), and electron also have since being built on chrome, but most versions out there are not built with that version I believe.

Also, noone says you SHOULD change. Feel free to use whatever you want. But saying wayland suck, when you didn’t even use goddamn wayland for evaluating it just “sucks”...
It's possible that the maid dies randomly but if the Lord of the castle had some previous revealing interactions with her and the murder scene was scrubbed clean and no investigator was allowed in the castle for a whole year... then perhaps we can't rule out murder?
Look at the social security mortality tables. Where it says you have a 10% chance of dying in a particular year of life, you have a 90% chance of living. Pro tip: don't be 120 years old ;-)

Having been watching the HS2 debacle for many, many years, it is worth noting two things.

One is that we, in the UK, are especially incompetent when it comes to almost all forms of capital spending. Our IT projects, property development, transport projects etc all suffer from this. HS2 is no different.

But more importantly to that cost is the land which has to be bought. Yes, there are lots of expensive consultants to pay because HSR is relatively complicated, but the cost of land in London and the South East of England is exorbitant. I don't have a number, but would expect this to constitute half the cost of the first phase of building.
I'm not a transportation engineer, but I think the following should and could be really interesting:

Take highways. The main ones usually have 3 lanes in each direction. One lane could be retrofitted with rails, and used to on-ramp special "wagons" that could transport cars (one each). At the main entry points you would have a "station" for cars to hop in or out, and you could have these wagons move autonomously. They could have much less drag, powered by electric engines, and use small batteries that could be recharged or swapped after each trip.

This way cars could "drive" faster on highways, pollute less, while retaining their ability to go anywhere once to hop off.

Yes, you would need to build the infrastructure... But a back-of-the-napkin calculation would quickly show that this would provide a great ROI, as well as reduce dependence from oil, which is always a geopolitical issue.

Alternatively, you could try to "reform" trains. Instead of long ones that depart every several minutes, why not single, lighter wagons that depart when you need them?
By now, "we haven't had time to look hard" is no excuse not to provide evidence that disinfecting surfaces works. If there is no evidence for that, it's almost certainly not true.
When i looked at previous Espressif chips, their mesh networking implementation for Bluetooth was proprietary.
The Bluetooth standard contains a mesh networking standard. Is there any affordable SoC that lets me build a standard Bluetooth mesh application without having to start from scratch?
Being helpless is not an excuse.
The speed of light (in vacuum) is constant for accelerated observers too. :-)

The dipole anisotropy of the Cosmic Microwave Background will continue to be a good tool to see the constancy of the speed of light for all observers into the practically infinite future, assuming the infinite future looks a lot like de Sitter space (which is essentially what the standard cosmology predicts).

The far future of the universe will still have generally covariant physics, as does its far past, sharpening up your second sentence.
In my experience it's normally an L4 or L5 software engineer working on a project with a lot of tech debt and no major upcoming launches. So maybe it's some random little-used Cloud product or a piece of internal infrastructure. Or it could be some aimless skunkworks team that leadership forgot about.

They also almost always have a bad manager who is sort of aware that nothing is getting done but doesn't have the management skills to address it.
You can use wlroots to have a similarly abstract view of the underlying.

Nonetheless, X itself is broken, it could not have been done otherwise.
This is pretty nifty. Good job.

All Opioid deaths between 1999 and 2017 were about 400k in the US. Well less than the Covid death toll in the US alone.

Great point.

There are fundamentally 2 types of content, although the line is getting blurred : The hobbyist blog, and the publishers magazine.

The first exists for joy, the second only exists to deliver adverts.

THe blurring occurs because some of the blogs became such hot property the founders sold up.

> So, it is entirely dependent on an obscure choice of a maintainer whether you get the "missing" days in your output or not.

I think defaulting to removing the days in 1752 is rather Anglo-centric. That was when the British Empire adopted the Gregorian calendar, but other places adopted it earlier or later.

I can think of some other options which in my mind are all superior to using 1752 as a default:

- Work out the appropriate cutoff point based on the user's configured locale or current geographic location

- Use the original introduction of the Gregorian calendar in 1582 as the default cutoff. (This is also the correct answer for Spain, Portugal, France, Poland, Italy, and for the former members of the Spanish and Portuguese colonial empires.)

- Don't use a cutoff and just use the proleptic Gregorian calendar

- For potentially ambiguous dates – basically anything from the initial introduction of the Gregorian calendar in 1582, through to its adoption by Greece in 1923 [0] – ask the user to either choose between Julian or Gregorian, or specify a locale/country/territory for the date (from which the choice can be inferred)

[0] Turkey and Saudi Arabia adopted the Gregorian calendar after Greece did, but they don't count because they never used the Julian calendar – they switched their official calendars from Islamic to Gregorian, in 1926 and 2016 respectively. Greece was the last country to make the Julian to Gregorian switch for civil purposes
Interesting. I took ~1,000 flights in my life (more than half of which in just 6 years, when I used to work at AWS as a tech evangelist).

This means that my chance of dying in a flight crash were ~1/10,000th, or 0.01%.

Not high, but not insignificant.
The advantage of the wheel quickly disappears without a smooth pavement. However the Greeks had roads good enough for wheels so that's not it.
>All plant foods contain all 20 amino-acids, essential and non-essential

I'm not sure about this point, as I understand it most plant sources consist of incomplete proteins, and in fact you have to consume appropriate combinations to avoid protein deficiency, e.g. eating rice or beans alone results in malnutrition, but together in proper proportion they can sustain a human indefinitely.

Here's a random source http://www.myfit.ca/nutrition/incomplete_proteins_combinatio...
Sweden did an... interesting version of calendar change. Like Britain, we stuck with the Julian calendar for quite some time. Then we decided to catch up with the Gregorian calendar by omitting leap days, starting from 1700 (this would have taken 40 years!). To make matters worse, the scheme was forgotten and 1704 and 1708 were leap years. In 1712, Charles XII decided to sync back to the Julian calendar by having an extra leap day, making a 30-day February, which I think is unique. We then finally went Gregorian by omitting 12 days at the end of February 1753.
ITT: more anti china racism
The article mentions that there were many very qualified candidates who are routinely rejected due to artificial scarcity and that selection among such high quality candidates was arbitrary in many cases. So i doubt, you would be surrounded by dumb students even if you made incoming class sizes larger.

I'm not sure a movie called "The patent scam" is going to be seen as an unbiased, convincing source by any fence sitter.
Isn't gambler's fallacy more about expectation of future result skewing based on past outcome?

If there's a very dangerous airplane ride that results in 10% of all flights ending in crash, if you take that plane 10 times, wouldn't you expect 1 crash on average?
Simpler doesn't imoly more featured; as I recall that simpler approach had more rough edges. Still haven't found it.
Sweden tried to do this. Of course, it meant they would be out of sync with both Julian and Gregorian calendars for 40 years, so after skipping Feb 29th in 1700, they gave up and reverted the the Julian calendar in 1712 (by adding February 30th to the calendar).
I imagined a conspiracy theory (please build a lot of skepticism around this), that Trump asked for "covert ways" to damage china.

The CIA knew about this lab, they worked to cause the leak, maybe it was not done properly, the CIA people were not informed on the science, and they did not really know it would infect the entire world. There is a similar plot in the TV show "The Americans".

I don't believe this theory, but I'm guessing China could easily use this kind of narrative in disinformation campaigns.

My only worry is diplomatic tensions with china. I guess everybody is a little anxious now and wants peace.
Richard Dawkins coined the term in his 1976 book titled The Selfish Gene. It was added to the dictionary by Merriam-Webster in 1998.
>Is Firefox worse than Chrome in anyway?

IME Firefox is much more of a battery hog on MacOS, Chrome's history page is much better, and some sites (Glassdoor and Google Meet come to mind) don't work properly in Firefox. And I don't really use the developer tools in either but I've generally heard that Chrome's are better. I still use Firefox as my daily driver but it's not flawless.
If a browser bans ad-blockers and people start to fiddle with DNS, wouldn't it be easy for a browser to use it's own DNS system? If a browser turns hostile there is nothing you can do.
For a new project we've been looking at the ESP32 range - great functionality - but we're more than a little concerned about being reliant on a single company (Expressif) and manufacturer (TSMC).

Are there other SoC solutions with multiple companies and manufacturers with similar functionality?
As i mentioned in a comment above, The article mentions that there were many very qualified candidates who are routinely rejected due to artificial scarcity and that selection among such high quality candidates was arbitrary in many cases. So i doubt, you would be surrounded by dumb students. I'm guessing smart students don't want to be surrounded by too many Jared Kusners or George Bushes.
