I used to get those reports when 23andme started. They are not allowed to give them for 10+ years now. I m not in the US - we have universal healthcare. Disallowing me to have those reports is almost violating my rights
Given that Rust isn’t C, the answer is Rust has a compiler intrinsic for bswap and it calls that as appropriate. LLVM will then turn that into the correct instruction(s) for the target platform.
I have not read the original paper yet, but I can tell you that longevity is not controlled by any one process. Its complicated. Simple stories are simply wrong. That complexity is amplified by environmental factors and intense gene-by-environmental non-linearities. We have to live with this reality until we die ;-)
Used to be? Many European restaurants do this.
Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup and Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead are the best roguelikes I keep coming back to after years, and getting full-on obsessed for a few weeks.

DCSS webtiles is incredible and I've missed something so effective and well designed in any other roguelike. Playing online is so much better, especially when you make use of one of the help bots and have people spectating your game while making the orbrun or during a hairy situation.
No, they will be smart enough to know this is bogus.
Bike stores might be a little unique given the huge crunch of new bikes going out the doors, and fewer parts readily available.
But yes, thats surprising, and its strange they didnt just act as a proxy, ordering from, well, anywhere! To get you sorted.

I make an effort to route everything through my local bike shop; as the two who operate it are both skilled mechanics and actually ride, so are a body of knowledge. I dont find that with other chain based stores, who keep sales and mechanics separate. Its at the latter I get blank looks, usually from sales people, and I dislike it intensely
As an X'er, The Weeknd's latest music does sound amazingly to me like a callback to early 80s's new wave synth pop. "Save Your Tears" could've been an OMD single. As such, to me, it's a powerful challenge to existing musical categories.

But to how many people younger than me does this really register?
"it is impossible for the bottom to contribute more than the top"

Maybe the explanation for your sarcastic questions and rude tone is that you think this strawman is reflective of something I've said.

What I'm hoping for is a significantly more equitable contribution of the bottom 50 percent to broader society than what they're currently contributing. Something like a flat tax rate and a reduction in entitlements, perhaps, but I don't have conviction on the exact specifics.
> So without some sort of mapping layer, how would this work? How does Salesforce understand the formats?

There's always a mapping layer, but that layer could itself be modularized and interchangeable. What I have some trouble getting is the assumption that this has to be managed by a single-vendor platform.
Is it possible that the internet killed mass culture? i think that music gets big when a large number of young guys identify with it; rock n roll was big in the twentieth century (be it r&b, rock, punk, metall or hip-hop), when everyone was listening to the same radio stations and you could easily push the same narrative down their throat; nowadays things seem to be much more fragmented (for whatever reason) and it is quite common to listen to a more varied combination of tunes.
I think they agree with you. Beneficial ownership is a legal term. Putting beneficial owners on real estate means not letting buyers hide their identities with shell companies.
Until then the closest thing we have is dog's noses.
I was curious to get started until I heard of their serious disregard for user privacy.
You mean like everything governments know about smoking, drug use disorders, poor diet, exposure to environmental toxicants, and how they have used that information with marvelous efficiency? Yep.
Maybe not, but many people may have iCloud, Apple Music, etc. subscriptions and bundling those together with the occasional app or iTunes Store purchase saves a good amount of money on processing fees.
Fair question.

This is exhausting.
Nope. Happiness is when your expectations matching your results. There are seriously stressed and depressed millionaires out there. And seriously happy non-millionaires. I know because I have met both.
> If this thing is indeed a ball, there will be plenty of astrophysicists happy to pick it up and run with it.

This reminds me of what happened with Sir Atiyah and his 'proof' on Riemann hypothesis few years ago. Sir Atiyah, despite of being a well-known mathematician (but in a different discipline), got absolute silence from researching community and experts when he proposed his proof on Riemann hypothesis and connection of fine structure constant of physics to mathematics.

If experts stay silent, if your work gets no follow-up, it's likely that what you said is wrong or has no value to people.
Wouldn't it be even harder to code on this using its limited keyboard? On a phone the soft keyboard may take up half the screen, but that's still at the same size or larger that this calculator, with a higher resolution. That's not to say programming on a phone is a pleasant experience, just that it seems at least a little easier, with much higher cpu/ram/storage resources.
//filtering of apps//

IMO one of the biggest stories about tech in 2021 is how easy it was to uncover multimillion dollar scams on the Apple App Store:

> I can't memorize all thousands of functions to manipulate lists and hashs in clojure (get-in, map-vals, conj, dissoc, select-keys, sorted-map-by, do you know what all those do?) which do a lot, I felt clojure was dense, the opposite of little cognitive load

In fact you need to memorize 10-20 functions to be productive in Clojure. Many of them are common across the other FP languages and some FP libraries for imperative languages and most of them cover common patterns for vector/map manipulation. Yes, the names could be confusing at first but there is good reasoning and logic behind them so it’s easy to learn.

> because in fact I love how productive I am with Elm

This is interesting because according to Real World App benchmarks Elm implementation has ~4x more lines of code then Clojurescript one [1]. How could it be more productive to write 4x code for the same result?

Isn’t providing an “authentication service” without the input of the original manufacturers legally precarious?
I just don't buy this argument. If you go to a store, you'll get the opinion of the people who work there. If you go online, you can get perspectives from any number of people (and make sure their tastes are similar to yours).
> The code the compiler generates must have the same final result, but it doesn't have to actually work the same way.

It doesn't, but when it comes to debugging, it would help to have them similar.
Yep you are right. Being from Europe, I can’t stand the false happiness projected by some people.
These things are anything but distraction-free. There was a MASSIVE ecosystem around TI games in my high school. I definitely spent multiple classes playing Tetris on my calculator. Or running a drug empire.
It’s a pretty natural human thing to do (see also: “code switching”) so I wouldn’t feel too bad :)
Yes, and genomes only a small but significant part of the longevity puzzle.

Anecdotally: my house in Oak Park has barely appreciated at all since 2005, but my brother in Bolingbrook --- an hour outside of Chicago --- is making a mint on his house.

I play MTG competitively, and if you actually believe this is a thing I'm afraid you have no idea what you are talking about. No competitive game has ever, at any point, worked that way.

From a gameplay perspective, the problem is exactly what your parent said: counterfeit product cannot be used in a sanctioned tournament. Which means most MTG organized play, since even very small in-store tournaments are usually sanctioned events.
What experience is that? I have lived and work in Denmark, England, USA and Australia and I completely disagree with you. Most people in the US are constantly scared and stressed. Not so in the Nordic countries.

> In one extreme example, my girlfriend and I took ours to the grocery store every week, and used a BASIC app I wrote for meal planning for the week (this was pre-smartphone era).

Ironically, in the smartphone era, devices aren't even supposed to be programmable anymore (to the end user). They're simply means of consuming content (and a way to be surveilled). The idea that a computer is a programmable machine has all but disappeared from the mainstream.
I have been thinking on this heavily, and the social implications of it, I do believe the internet killed the common cultural thread Americans had, for better or worse.
We would all be wise to plan along these lines until your 99% sure-thing is proved. I study the genetics of longevity and alas I am gracefully planning to die.
They are not "much simpler" — they're direct consequences of aging. It's like trying to put a fresh coat of paint on a car that has almost rusted through. It makes more sense to address the root cause than its many consequences.
I recently finished reading the first volume of The Feynman Lectures and he brings up the possibility that G may not be constant, that it may vary over time or space. The argument why G likely doesn't vary over time is that a different value of G in the past, either bigger or smaller, would be inconsistent with what we understand about the formation of the Earth. If it were bigger by even a small factor then the Earth would be closer to the Sun and hence too hot for oceans to form and vice-versa if it were smaller.

Based on all current observations, G is constant.

Check out page two of this PDF for the statewide picture; our use statewide urban water usage is going down, from a peak in 1995, even as our population increases:

https://cwc.ca.gov/-/media/CWC-Website/Files/Documents/2019/...

I first became aware of this when lots of people were complaining about water use for a new apartment complex that included below-marker-rate units, as it seemed preposterous that <100 new apartments could have any significant impact, especially when the alternative is for the same people to live further out in bigger places that need more watering of lawns.

Turns out that our city's urban water use had decreased quite a bit, despite a slowly growing population, as shown on page 25 of this PDF:

https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/20484267-2020-annual...

There's a lot of really bad and environmentally counterproductive thought from the 1970s that needs to be fact checked. People don't require a fixed amount of resources, they require a fixed amount of services, and we have gotten better and better at providing those same services with far less resources.

This is the same as the hard energy versus soft energy debate from around the same time period. We don't care about total energy available to a person, we care about the services that the energy provides. So things like greater efficiency through insulating homes, switching to more efficient lights, etc, doesn't actually result in more energy usage.

The same surprising (to some) result applies for water, apparently! Swapping out all those old, bad water fixtures, and being better about lawn watering, makes a huge impact.
That's a bit of a funny example, since it looks to me like that's Chrome giving special treatment to it's own store? And offering APIs for the store to function, like showing installed extensions differently from non-installed ones?

I don't disagree with you in principle, but the TFL menu specifically is kind of... a thing. It's explicitly stylized after an Escoffier-style menu (see e.g. http://ciadigitalcollections.culinary.edu/digital/collection... ), is instantly recognizable in the world of fine dining, and is actually often not given to the diner until after the meal (the menu is not what's getting anyone to eat at TFL -- you're making a reservation months in advance).
Seems unlikely. Why?
How do middle-sized open source projects survive?
I get that majority of small open source projects are led by volunteers who consider it a hobby.

At the same time, some big projects can earn money by offering enterprise support [1], selling courses/certification [2] or by charging for repository packages. [3]

However, how do medium-sized players like Wireshark, GIMP or LibreOffice survive? I'm not sure that donations make a huge difference and it doesn't seem they have some support plans.

The current best treatment for death is to contribute to social health and knowledge. Transmit both to your progeny and younger colleagues. Your particular atoms and molecules are really not all the unique and wonderful.
80% of people quit their job because of their boss. So yep I agree with you. It is the #1 thing to look out for.
Typing on a soft keyboard sucks. Typing computer code, that has to be absolutely typo free, is totally unworkable. Even a chiclet keyboard like what was featured on the lowest-build-quality home computers from the 1970s and 1980s (e.g. early ZX Spectrum) is miles better than trying to input code on a phone touch screen.

(In fact a bare-membrane keyboard, that was only ever used on extremely-low-specced home computers where only trivial programs would ever be written, arguably provides a better feel than what you'd get from a touchscreen.)
So you're saying that it's alright if people commit fraud, as long as it's in an industry that you don't much care about?
What's so good about it and how dated is it? The book is 13 years old, a lot is happening in that field no?
It seems like adding even minimal python support would allow fairly easy development of apps that could be used for cheating.
New York Times Ignores Basic Grammar with Fake Headline
The New York Times published a fake headline that the editorial staff turned into font page news despite being technically incorrect. The headline read "The Slander Industry" and focused entirely on written statements made online.
I wonder if it would be feisable for games like Magic to put technology like passive RFIDs into the cards themselves. Assuming you could make it work, it would also have some logistical advantages (automatically submit decklist, automated deck legality checks, anti-cheat checks for sealed pools...)

Quantum Entanglement Directly Observed at Larger Macroscopic Scale
Well you’ll be happy to know Python is coming and you can download beta versions of the 2.1 firmware today to start messing with it should you desire.

HPPL is certainly not my ideal programming language, but I’ll take it over TI-BASIC any day until the Python support matures.
There are many people who would agree with your argument that taxation is extortion.
That's my mistake. I knew it was developed my Square Enix but for some reason I thought it was published by Nintendo. My fault I should've double checked.
In the UK, it probably is. But it was relatively unknown at the time, so it would be surprising if you had.
Those are some good points that reflect my own experience. My first language was TI-BASIC, self-taught during high school study halls on the TI-83 Plus. My second language was Z80 assembly on that calculator. I think the self contained nature of the programming and running environment in a portable device, along with limited features and power, is really what got me started.

And it ended up helping me choose Computer Science as my college degree and put me on the career path I'm on now. TI has its faults, but I'll be ever thankful for their roll in my job satisfaction.
Agreed? Why are people so afraid of death? If you're religious, then you wouldn't want to live forever. If you think you just disappear into the void when you die, then it doesn't matter when you die (which you will eventually).
Live below your means and make sure you always have enough savings to be able to find a better job. It gives you the power to stand up for yourself if necessary

After I pay Apple $1000 for their product, is it really their turf any more?

It’s certainly not the case when buying a house from someone.

Or basically anything but an iPhone or Tesla.
I saw a few of you playing your first game and making sense of the commands. A quick cheat sheet:

* `5` to rest until healed, status effects are gone, etc.

* `o` to autoexplore

* `i` for your inventory

* `z` to cast magic, `I` to view your known spells, `M` to learn new spells

* `a` for your (god) abilities.

* `m` to choose which skills to train

* `Tab` to attack the closest enemy or move towards it

* `<` and `>` to move up and down stairs

* `?` for the help menu

My suggestion for the first game: Minotaur Fighter or Berserker. Ignore any magic character for the time being.

Not an unreasonable concern. Remember Google's Project Dragonfly? They were building and testing a system which would not only censor Google Search in mainland China, but provide Communist Party authorities with unlimited access to search logs.

They only stopped because they got caught, and enough Google employees caused a stir about it internally. The executives who supported this project and kept its existence secret within Google are still with the company. Who's to say they won't try again, in China or any other country?

https://theintercept.com/2018/11/29/google-china-censored-se...

>Locating core parts of the search system on the Chinese mainland meant that people’s search records would be easily accessible to China’s authoritarian government, which has broad surveillance powers that it routinely deploys to target activists, journalists, and political opponents.
One would hope they've streamlined it to work like the calculator BASIC variants where math functions are single tokens that can be added and deleted with one button press. If all you're doing is arithmetic code, it wouldn't be much different from BASIC.
We love this stuff! We built an Applesoft BASIC interpreter into our Apple II emulator https://paleotronic.com/microM8 that has added graphics modes (including 3D) and commands, including tracker music and sprites.
Well it says it's about machine learning, so gives a bit more context. To me transformers is something that is used in electrical circuits...
Can you point out which part of my statement and the one above has been misrepresenting the facts?

"Epic Exclusive on PC" does not translate well into "Available anywhere but not Steam".

> I just have a difficult time seeing how it could be cost-effective, without being eye-wateringly expensive.

We write the guides first, which 'earns' us the 'audacity' to claim we know how to authenticate. I thought of the academic world so as to prove the expertise (I'm the complete opposite of an academic)

* We write public guides (see: https://legitcheck.app/explore-the-library/) - we have about 1m words written on the subject

* People are free to contest it. If we're wrong, we'll correct

* The more other people link to our guides, the more we get... credentials, I guess?

> you can't have a fashion purse expert determining whether an "antique" firearm (where forgery is a big problem)

We don't really get that far, into firearms and the such. Currently we do sneakers, clothing, watches, bags and some collectibles (e.g. Pokemon Cards)

> I'd assume the biggest value would be to contract with auction houses or appraisers, where the workflow would be familiar

We've worked occasionally with some (e.g. authenticated a pair of $20,000 Jordans: https://legitcheck.app/certificate-of-authenticity/property-...

But mostly B2C, so it's a consumer-focuseed service

> But I guess if it's really just sending links to Amazon listings

The products we're authenticating are mostly 'asset products', so items that are $300+, most of the time sold-out, have some resale value over retail OR retain more of their retail value than usual items (think: Chanel items)
Legal interpretations aside, this seems like an xkcd 810 kind of problem!

Counterfeits are bad for consumers because they are often low quality similes with shoddy attention to details and cheap materials.

If the end result of this site is that counterfeits increase their quality control?

Well, it'll still be illegal, but at least I might be happier with half my Amazon purchases =]
Is there something similar for the iPhone?
They finally updated Google Authenticator to enable backups and transfers between devices in December last year.[1] Also, there are other 2FA apps like Authy that are more user friendly and have been transferrable for years now.

However, I think you do have a point. The attacks that rely on intercepting SMS messages are cumbersome and are really feasible only for high value targets.

Cancer becomes almost irrelevant as you get really old: https://flowingdata.com/2016/01/05/causes-of-death/
