If you're both cryonically frozen, is the friendship suspended? Does it spring back into being when you're both defrosted, arising from the process of living? By this account, friendships aren't purely a matter of data storage.

If we're feeling especially poetic, we could make the case that friendships can live on despite the death of one of the participants.

Also, do we always assume a binary friendship of exactly two participants?
I agree, but cancer rates rise sharply as you age.

So, your claim (that life expectancy hasn't changed much) doesn't contradict the parent's claim (that a lot more people are dying of age-related cancers).
> I'm not an app reviewer, I'm a techie. And sorry that I didn't sugarcoat it enough for your sensitive ears.

> I'm sure Electron devs use the same reasoning when developing their stuff. After all, who has 8GB of RAM now?

haha way to move the goal posts after you get caught with some other bs you said! First you claimed most people had something similar to your phone so it should be working well on yours. But when I pointed out that this has incorrect assumptions suddenly the goal post is the app should be able to run really well on a a low budget entry device.

That's significantly more than anything you've provided. All you have been doing is pointing at random things and saying "I know better than them".

The author uses the fact that Chiropractic was started with inspiration from the spiritual world as evidence of quackery and says they are surprised that chiropractors are allowed to practice. And yet ... We allow many organisations which specifically say that taking directly to non-physical beings will solve your problems. So this bullshit is far less surprising than the direct and common bullshit we tolerate every day.

Yeah, the article is weird about "But even this becomes cumbersome quickly, not to mention the overhead from reference counts."

You pick the linked list because of better scalability as the data size grows bigger, you choose them precisely because you think the constant overhead vs contiguous lists is worth it.

The most common example is an object that wants to remove itself from a big list.

E.g. you have a OS with 10000 processes. 1000 processes die per second and they already know their position in the linked list so they remove themselves in O(1). An array would require leaving the slot empty and swapping in the last element (unordered list) O(1) or shifting entries to fill the gap (ordered list) O(n). The former breaks ordering, the latter leads to O(nm) removal costs where n is the number of live processes and m the number of dying processes. Paying reference counting costs is not a problem.

My main worry is increasing droughts that will jeopardize our food supply.
Businesses aren’t worried about paying better wages, they are worried about being unable to produce their goods or services. Sure they can give better wages but now what they are producing has to cost more. Have that happen across all industries and it is inflation. With inflation no one ends up better than where they started, particularly the lowest wage employees will be the hardest hit by inflation.
> Today’s stimulus is a perfect example of UBI.

> eventually as we see now shortages in just about everything

This is a pretty big jump in logic. We've had a ransomware account that shut down a gas pipeline, we've had mass business shutdowns in multiple countries that affected the entire economy, we've had a large shipping block. It's pretty hard to blame the current chip shortage on the stimulus.

I do not understand how people get so wildly confident about this stuff whenever UBI comes up. I would not be so confident to claim that supply shortages for materials/foods from other countries are being caused by a stimulus in the US, particularly during a period where our government policy was to specifically tell people that the responsible, social thing to do not to go into their jobs.
In Victorian England (1840) if you made it to adulthood (20) your life expectancy was ~ 60.

It's 82 today.

The effects are not as dramatic as when infant mortality is included but our life expectancy has absolutely increased.

It's a compelling theory, too, because the average age of a cancer is 66 today. But it really addresses the idea of cancer being less prevalent than less likely.
> the Catholic Church has some fairly vocal guidance on why the J&J vaccine is acceptable

The Catholic Church's position is that the J&J vaccine is acceptable if it's the only vaccine you can get, but you should not get it if any of the other vaccines are available to you. Your comment makes it sound like they consider it acceptable unconditionally, which isn't the case.
No: I had stopped seeing my physical therapist months earlier for various reasons, including that I was experiencing setbacks that I found emotionally demoralizing.

What a "grade 5 lumbopelvic mobilization"--what all the medical science people (online) were saying I needed to get done (like, I was at the point where I was watching talks from conferences on lumbar spine radiculopathy issues)--does is it takes the ilium and the sacrum in one's pelvis and separates them slightly, essentially stretching the sacroiliac joint a bit (which is hard to do and requires enough directed force to make it really hard to do to yourself... that joint "normally" barely moves at all: it is at best a shock absorber) and then allowing it to go back to a maybe-more-normal position in the case that they have accidentally gotten locked into a bad place and ended up with some tissue (or even a nerve) getting pinched. Physical therapists will also do this, but as far as I can tell--after starting to try to get an appointment with a new one at around the same time (but unable to get one for weeks out)--they are way more addicted to following only the pathologies that have actually been determined by the doctor who prescribed you to see them (as that's how they work: the doctor give a you a prescription).
Also, I expect that an industry that deals with removing eleventy seven airbags to keep the children safe can handle main battery removal.

"There isn't enough space anyway" is not an argument for letting housing prices run rampant. With our current trajectory, housing is going to create a new class system, in which people with housing can afford housing, and those without are left with no alternative but to rent for life.

Data that can be traced back to a person is covered by GDPR. If the user_ids have attached user datasets somewhere they are covered. If they don't have that, but the graph formed by user_ids and relationship_ids is isomorphic to publically known facts or facts that people with access to the graph have, that make people identifiable in the graph, it is covered by GDPR. One example would be a is-neighbour-of relation for peoples' addresses together with a public phone/address-book.
Realistically, you also need to simultaneously test out the extra taxes to pay for the UBI as well so that you can measure the full economic effect.
The antarctic ice seems already to be melting, so Miami (also the port regions of most cities -- Shanghai has like 15M people living in likely flood zones!) is going under at this stage no matter what we do. Likewise the deep ocean circulation has already begun to collapse, so an anoxic ocean floor seems inevitable. The mass extinction event seems under way already.

But the modelling is noisy, so no one can give you serious answers to "how will this affect people" that will meet your demand for precision. But the worst cases are all disastrous. Things like "we can't grow food in south asia to feed the 2-3 billion people there" are very much on the table.
let mut v = vec![1,2,3,4];
for i in v.iter() { v.push(i);};

And that doesn't work, because the v.iter() is sugar for Vec::iter(&v), while the v.push(i) is sugar for Vec::push(&mut v, i) . I think it'd use deref coercion on the i, as Vec::iter(&v) gives you `i: &isize`. If this wasn't ints (or other `Copy` types, for that matter), you'd need to use .into_iter() to consume the Vec and get ownership of the entries while iterating, or use `.push(i.clone())` because `Vec<T>::push(&mut self, T)` is the signature, and you can only go automatically from `&T` to `T` for `Copy` types. Actually, it _may_ even need `v.push(*i)`, thinking about it. Try on https://play.rust-lang.org

Good tip, thanks. I really did not think about that at all.
Actually you can find strong feelings in favor of strictly demand-based transfer on both sides, that's the one thing they agree on. On one side it's "the money should be given to someone who needs it even more" and on the other it is "the money doesn't need to be transferred at all", but the result is the same. Effective tax rate in the vicinity of 100% (sometimes higher!) for people at the threshold and all that (like the lady who dared to save).
Also, even if the low average life expectancy was due to excessive mortality among children with chances to live up to 70 once one reached 40 not much different than today, it still does not imply that cancer rates were lower.

It could be very well that it is those people who would die as newborn or children without modern medicine and access to clean water have bigger chances of getting cancer with age.
I agree, stopping at 1.5 C is extremely unlikely. You have to get worldwide agreement to do very hard things. I see little appetite for that. I also don't see any way to make it less hard, though if there is any hope that's where it lies.

> $272k per adult or $1044 per month for that family of 4 with 2 adults in it

Something fishy about your math here.

$272k per adult is $544k per family. If you paid it over one year that's $45k per month.

Edit: oh, I see, you are only giving people the interest on the capital and assuming a growth rate of ~2%. Both of which seem quite silly to me, but whatever.

Linear.app is way faster and tighter than JIRA, but lacks a lot of features that I actually really need in my job:

* Advanced Roadmapping - JIRA will, given a pile of issues, sort them and fake-assign them to individuals on your team to determine how long it will take you to complete a project. This is way more powerful than burndown charts and cycles when you're planning a hardware project with a tightly-defined deadline. Without it I have to drop back to spreadsheets to provide any insight into when a project will be completed. It's especially important when the business peels engineers off the project.

* Time-based estimating - JIRA lets me plug hours in for estimates instead of railroading me into T-shirt sizes, which means I can actually use the tool to give an accurate estimate of when we'll be done. Linear requires you to calibrate your expectations by running a few cycles first, which makes it a really bad fit for projects that have a defined end date.

I think Linear has a lot of potential for teams that don't work to fixed deadlines, but for my purposes it's just a very fast spreadsheet.

Not OP, But I've also had some success with chiropractic. There is some wackiness to avoid out there (the ones who treat it like a spirituality), but the one I go to currently takes a disciplined approach. They only target a few specific places based on thermal scans on the spine.

Their argument is that subluxations (misalignment of the vertebrae) impair nerve function, kind of like having a kink in a hose. Misaligned vertebrae press on nerves and make them less able to deliver signals from the brain. Those signals trigger healing, so by relieving the pressure, the body becomes more able to heal itself.
If anything I think it's a shame that the quacks and the Good Guys can share the same title. But it's the same in any profession, isn't it?

No. Chiropractic medicine is pseudo-scientific, so inevitably the percentage of quacks will be far greater than in a scientific-based medicine.

So not remotely the same.
My ballpark guess: climate regions will shift north by a few hundred miles. In some places that will mean tundra turns to forest, in other places farmland will turn to desert. Sea levels will also rise by a few feet.

But then there will be a couple billion people living in the wrong place; they will have to move across national borders in huge numbers. This is historically linked to political instability and sometimes war.

The worst part will be what we do to each other as a result of climate change, rather than the change itself, imho.

I knew an osteopath in Tulsa. I asked him about the popping thing and he gave me a straight answer (I think). He said you have a fluid sealed into your joints and like all fluids in your body, there are gases dissolved in it. If you distort the joint enough these gases will pop out of solution, like opening a can of soda or a bottle of champagne. This pop is quite forceful and stimulates nerve endings around the joint which produces (temporarily) localized muscle relaxation and a mild analgesic effect. That's why it feels better. And it takes time for the gases to be reabsorbed which is why you have to wait before you can pop the joint again. And yes, the rest is essentially bullshit...
I had a friend who had back pain. Went to a chiropractor. He took xrays and did adjustments. For about a year and a half he did this. The doctor continued to take x-rays to show that he was improving internally!

Then one day, he was in such severe pain his wife called an ambulance who took him to the ER. He had lung cancer that had metastasized. The chiropractor completely missed the very obvious cancer on the xray which the ER spotted quickly.

He died a few months later. It was too late for any realistic attempt at treatment.

Always see a real MD first.
C++ and parallelism, exploring std:future
If my choice is between definitely dying of boring old hypoxia and maybe dying in a cool explosion I know which one I'm picking.

But to be serious it's risk management and if the patient is definitely going to die of low oxygen then the patient having a risk of dying another way is still a lower risk.
Another aspect is that in Rust, all structs have "move semantics" in that you can copy the raw bytes of a struct to another location in memory without anything breaking. This is very nice in general but does rule out creating structs in safe code which contain pointers to themselves.
There's a massive difference between using threat of violence to ensure that people are able to secure the legitimately owned fruits of their labor, and forcibly taking their labor outputs and redistributing them among those who are not contributing to the same degree or at all.
Is your eye doctor an ophtalmologist, optometrist or other (or both)?

In Spain ophtalmologist, like physiotherapist has studied medicine and specialized. But optometrists has not and maybe you are comparing a chiropractors (without medicine title) with optometrists.
> I see some people say it is going to make earth uninhabitable

Not even the worst case scenarios from the IPCC show anything even remotely close to ‘uninhabitable earth’ - the people saying that are being even more disingenuous and pseudoscientific than climate deniers. Some fringe regions of the planet may become a lot harder to live in (note that climate change is not uniform, it will affect some places a lot more than others) and of course some coastal areas may experience more flooding but by and large day to day living in the first world will be similar to what it is today even with 2C of warming.
Understanding Bytecode Interpreters
You make a really good point about C++ headers. Textual inclusion of globs of bytes into translation units is 1970s legacy stuff that totally fucks up reasonable build times, and for all the talk about C++20 modules they haven't delivered yet.

I actually think this is one of the things that Rust could crush C++ on, because build times are becoming the whole show on big C++ projects.

It's super weird to me that C++, with this whacky 1970s constraint that totally fucks up modularity, still builds neck-and-neck or better with Rust.

In principle Rust could do *way* better on this, and that is a feature that might get me to consider Rust seriously, no matter how stupid I think the borrow checker is. But Rust still compiles dog slow...
