It's basically the opposite. Health care for old people is very expensive, precisely because they're old. Reversing or preventing aging to the point where everyone has the health profile of a 30 year old would save a fortune.

Amazing people, amazing environment, amazing opportunity to contribute to the world. I am fortunate enough to be able to live close to work, and I usually bike otherwise, so traffic is only a problem if there's an emergency. So I'm lucky, I guess, it really is my paradise. I'm not upset by homeless people when I see them, I am upset by the choices of some selfish wealthy people.

Homelessness and traffic are policy choices that we've made because the last generation, the one in power that refuses to see the errors of their philosophy and refuses to budge an inch, consciously made the decision that after a population boom, they wanted to keep people out. Which results in the long commutes, which causes even more traffic.
Houston's policies definitely aren't a dealbreaker. People are voting for Houston's overall set of conditions, which includes climate, job availability, culture, policies, and other factors.
I think this would work better for personal trainers, to basically be paid on your improving performance. But gym pricing relies on those who don’t show up to use it to subsidize those who do. So if you are the type of person who will use the gym, you benefit from others paying but not going. And of course everyone thinks they will go when they sign up for a year.

If it were priced in the way the post explains, it would be far more expensive for those who actually use the service.
Memoirs: ten years and twenty days by Karl Dönitz.

It is well written and it tells a very different view of the war than most history books. Not by telling lies but by telling truths from his point of view and with UK sources that shows how close Germany were at winning the early war and how badly the US navy fared.
> Also one thing that is often overlooked is how 'old'/traditional diets were very seasonal.

Great point. Also keep in mind that religion plays a critical role. Greece in the mid 1900's was a very religious country, and most people attended the 40 days diet that they would abstain completely from consuming land-animal products.
Apple knew about a huge compromise of their users devices. Despite all of their marketing material talking about how much they value customer security and privacy, they made a business decision to not notify the affected users.

The lesson here is that you cannot rely on Apple to act in your interest if they think doing so will hurt them. Note that they aren't special here, any other company will probably act similarly, the difference is that Apple apologists would have you believe they, ahem, think differently.
A few counter thoughts:

* I'm looking forward to retirement in a few years. I don't desire to work for 5000 years.

* A thing in infinite supply has little value. Why would another year of life be any different?

* Marriages would become limited term contracts, and partners would change every few decades

* Unless society figures out a way to address poverty, do you think the billions of impoverished people will want to live forever?

* Having children will be limited to a chosen few, probably the wealthiest.

* Suicide will have to become socially acceptable when people become

Honestly, I think even if the technology is developed, it will be available only to the rich and powerful. They would be willing to prevent the technology from becoming widely available because it would upset the current order and they dare not risk losing their position of privilege.

In many cases you might need to make two copies. Also remember, the author proposes to change the abi to encourage pass by value instead of of pass by restricted reference, so in the original code there might be zero copies.

In practice this optimization would be very fragile (like most optimizations relying on escape analysis) and people would keep passing by reference in fear that a small change like taking the address of an object might force a copy of a large struct.
Having never been in the market for such things, what price would the fake Hermes Birkin bag in the example URL typically sell for? Either on aliexpress or similar or in a domestic retail market in China? The fake certainly seems good enough to pass casual inspection from a distance.

Being a good coach isn't really about "uploading" existing knowledge, but a lot more like being a good manager. The role has more to do with things like maintaining good discipline and habits, keeping you motivated and focused on your objective, organizing your schedule, identifying key areas for improvement, being on the lookout for opportunities, so on so forth...
What Substack Is Doing to the Media
This sounds interesting, do you have any references for further reading?
You say "proofs" but, as I said, this is already something the compiler keeps track of.

The caller is required to do a copy as the ABI is right now so if you can't do this optimisation it's only as bad as it was before.

Yes, there is a case where this creates one extra copy. The case where you a) give away a mutable pointer to a variable before calling another function, and b) the called function modifies it's own argument and then c) that function then doesn't use that object as the argument for another function it calls.

That's the only case where it generates an extra copy, and I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I'm almost cirtain that this will reduce sigificantly more copies that it creates.
> Note: Apple themselves argued code = speech in their FBI trial. Given that, disallowing certain apps is disallowing certain speech.

It's disheartening to see how many people have no clue what 'free speech' means when they use this argument online.

Legal Definition of freedom of speech:

: the right to express information, ideas, and opinions *free of government restrictions* based on content and subject only to reasonable limitations (as the power of the government to avoid a clear and present danger) especially as guaranteed by the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution

There are also things that are NOT considered protected speech. For example, you cannot shout "Fire" in a movie theater and claim it's a free speech right. This falls under the "harm principle" exception. Fighting words is another example.

Two things people need to remember when it comes to free speech:

1) It's not absolute, you still suffer the consequences of the things you say, and

2) It doesn't apply to privately owned locations, services or media.

So, no, being banned from Twitter is not a violation of your free speech.

No, Apple banning or blocking porn from within apps is not a violation of free speech.

No, being arrested for threatening to kill someone is not a violation of your free speech.
Sadly the OT networks are 100% trusting of any device on the network. With Schneider plcs any device on the OT network can write to any addressed memory register over modbus - it’s like direct memory access DMA.

Alexandra Elbakyan is already convicted and will be extradited the moment she steps outside the country, there's very likely sealed indictments waiting in the shadows too, the evidence for her crimes are overwhelming and without dispute by anyone.

Things like this are just another chance at a smear campaign, they really don't care about what laws have been broken now, that part is over, all they want is leverage.

Flashback 2 years:

> A former senior U.S. intelligence official said he believes Elbakyan is working with Russia’s military intelligence arm, the GRU, the same organization that stole emails from the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman and then provided them to WikiLeaks in 2016.

As reported in the Washington Post and others. See how conveniently these two seemingly unrelated matters are being connected? Why would a respected newspaper go off on a segue like that?

People in Mississippi do. They also get a say in setting tax policy for the U.S. which is the topic of current discussion.
Regarding the meta of physics posts on here. I'd just like to tell my feeling. Reading science related or physics related opinions of people on Reddit, I feel like most of them are lay people. They express their admiration of science, their surprise for new knowledge, etc. What they wrote indicates them being lay. Reading physics or science related opinions here on HN, I feel like I've fallen into a rabbit hole of personal crackpot ideas of pseudo-experts that are ubiquitous on the net. If this is cutting-edge science, why wouldn't we non-experts just be a bit more conservative with our words? (Alsolutely no offense to any real expert out there).
The Coronavirus Gain-Of-Function research the Wuhan lab was doing probably wasn't manually tweaking the virus, or inserting viral genome segements.

It may feel this way but it’s easy to see that this isn’t the case by looking at tax revenues. They dropped a lot after the bush tax cuts and again after the trump tax cuts. Saying that tax policy doesn’t matter is simply not true.

During Clinton we were set to be debt free in 2013... the bush passed his cut. Tax policy matters.

> I’d be happy to support local merchants, but they have to get the overall value proposition somewhat competitive. For the most part, they aren’t.

This.

I actively avoid local businesses because with few exceptions they always try to screw you, whether that's prices, low quality service, or something else.

Even something as simple as canceling an order that hasn't yet been paid or shipped I get senseless push back from local businesses.

When it's easier and less stress free for me to return a 1200€ drone to Amazon 3 times, than it is for me to cancel a 80€ chestnut order that hasn't been paid or shipped from a local business, the problem isn't Amazon and the solution is obvious.
In many cases the callee would have to make a copy, yes. However:

1. In many cases, no copy would have to be made. There are lots of small non-complex functions out there where the compiler can prove that it's safe to not make a copy.

2. In many other cases, a copy has to be made. But the copy is made by the callee, not by the caller. That means that all the instructions necessary to copy the argument ends up in the binary once in the callee, rather than once for every function call, leading to less code bloat (which has its own performance advantages).

In fact, a stupid compiler could just always make a copy without analyzing the function body. This would result in a compiler which generates code that's about as fast as it would be with current ABIs, but with a smaller size.
Flatpak solves this :)

Since each increase in uptime costs so much, requires peaker plants, and makes intermittent renewables harder, I experimented with living more resiliently. After all, the reverse works too: each decrease in uptime saves huge costs, relaxes needs for peaker plants, and makes intermittent renewables more feasible.

Most of the world can handle some downtime. Electric power didn't exist for most of human existence. We've become more needy, dependent, and entitled. I suspected that living more resiliently would improve my life.

It did. My last three electric bills were $1.40, $1.70, and $1.70 (plus tax and fixed connection costs). That's living in Greenwich Village, Manhattan. I wrote up some of my experience here, with scans of my bills: https://joshuaspodek.com/i-used-2-5-the-average-americans-el....

I don't expect many people to reach this level of resilience and stewardship, but we don't have to to decrease our insane entitlement to such uptime. A few cultural changes and we could lower our grid costs tremendously while improving our quality of life.
But in your previous post you noted the idea that you could save $2M in a reasonable time frame.

This is completely independent of CoL. There are very, very few Americans who will ever be able to seriously consider doing this.

Treatments that reduce mutations in general could make the immune system less effective (increasing your chances of dying of disease, and that of passing a disease on to others). It could also cause fewer mutations in your offspring, which might hurt human evolution over many hundreds of generations.

Curing cancer tomorrow, but with side effects of dramatically increasing transmission and deaths by transmissible disease, and causing humans to die out from failure to adapt to future environments seems like overall a bad plan. It's certainly something we'll need to fully understand before making use of.
Use a private browsing/incognito window then. Not bullet-proof, but probably good enough.
Russia propaganda is effective because it managed to make people to believe very big lies. Even in Ukraine some people believe it despite the realities of war.

Propaganda from USA does not need to stretch the truth anywhere near the same scale and with that it is much more easier to affect more people.

> There aren't very many innocent reasons to have accounts in tax havens.

Courts disagree.

The primary form of investment firms (PE firms) rely on an "onshore" feeder, for certain countries taxable persons to invest into, and an "offshore" feeder for everyone else as well as those same countries non-taxable persons (charities, retirement plans) to invest into. The offshore feeder typically being an offshore corporation taxed only at the entity level, in a place that does not levy tax on the kinds of transactions conducted, and in many cases also means banking and brokerage accounts offshore. But it also means banking and brokerage accounts onshore under the name of the offshore entity, because it is completely legal and the relevant financial professionals are completely familiar with it.

Status in our society is based on understanding whose opinion matters, and that is the executive and judicial branch, while the legislative branch and head of states pretends to act like they are in an adversarial relationship with people that keep their money.
I assumed (4) was the author's frustration that if-statements aren't expressions, and nesting ternaries is rough.
Typically, the assembly instruction that would do the read in arr[i] can do something like:

x = *(y + z);

where y and z are both 64-bit integers. If I had

int arr[1000];
initialize(&arr);
int i = read_int();
int x = arr[i];
print(x);

then to get x I'd need to do something like,

tmp = i * 4;
tmp1 = (uint64_t)tmp;
x = *(arr + tmp1);

Which, since i is signed, can't just be a cheap shift, and then needs to be upcasted to a uint64_t (which is cheap, at least).
Personalized feeds are broken. I think there's work to be done to improve content discovery.
