By the way, dereferencing NULL is a well defined behaviour on every computer architecture: you are basically reading at address 0 of memory. It just causes a crash if you have an operating system since it will cause a page fault, but in kernel mode or in devices without an OS is a legit thing to do (and even useful in some cases).

Why should C compilers make it undefined? The standard doesn't mandate that undefined behaviour should change the semantic of the program. Just define all the undefined behaviour that you could, to me keeping them undefined makes no sense (even from the standard point, everyone knows that if you overflow an int it wraps around, why should it be undefined??)
These are all interpretations. Your trying to special privilege one interpretation by calling it the intended meaning when really it’s what I’d call an authoritative interpretation. The accepted interpretation by an authority. That doesn’t necessarily make it the actual intended meaning though.

How to Drive Ownership in Microservices
Good! You're most of the way to a rational and compassionate response to drug addiction. Let's see if we can get you further.

Methadone maintenance therapy leaves several problems, starting with the fact that other opioids still feel good and are still being profitably sold on the street. There's supply and demand, right there.

The illegality makes it expensive. Most opioid users start with pills, and continue to injection because heroin and analogues are expensive, and injection works better. Unfortunately it's also a much better way to kill yourself, as is taking what you think is one drug (such as heroin) and lacing it with a stronger one (such as fentanyl). It's possible to kill yourself with a bunch of pills of a known opioid of a guaranteed strength, but it's pretty tough to do by accident.

So let's remove the profit motive, by letting the state take over the sale of opioids. No advertising, of course, and this is done in settings where help can be made available to anyone who wants to quit being addicted to drugs. Make it expensive enough that it isn't the cheapest way to have a good time (opioids cost basis is very low), but not so high that constant petty crime is the only way to stay high. Limit purchase quantities; maybe give known addicts a license, so they can have a slightly higher limit to account for their tolerance. A little bit will leak onto the street, sure, that's tolerable compared to a hundred kilos at once arriving from overseas or the southern border.

This puts the dealers out of business, clears out the Tenderloin, reduces opioid overdoses, puts addicts where they can get help, and reduces the burden on our overcrowded prisons. Evidence from Switzerland and Portugal suggest that over time it will also reduce the number of opioid addicts.

All in all, pretty big win.
> OP’s structure of argument should be a well established anti-pattern.

Agreed that accusing your opponent of not using facts or reason makes it hard to have an honest discussion.

At the very least, if reason and facts are so important to you, what about the fact that this style of argument is empirically ineffective, and almost never persuades anybody to switch views? It's even dangerous to your cause, in the sense that it makes people defensive and more extreme in their views. If you care about outcomes, don't poison the conversation.

I'm also skeptical whenever I see an argument that depends on the assumption that if you just had access to all the facts, you'd agree with me. In my experience, the more facts I learn about anything related to human behavior, the more complex the picture gets, and the less certain I am that anybody has it right.
I've had them take seconds for suggestions before when doing more esoteric searches. I think there's an inordinate amount of cached suggestions and they have an incredible way to look them up efficiently.
In other languages it wouldn’t happen at the same scale due to people also speaking a second language and realise these dynamics. Do you know many native English speakers speaking a second language fluently? I have been living in the U.K. for over 10 years and can count them on a hand.
> Once N95 masks became readily available and cheap, it was (and is) mysterious why people weren't being told to wear them

That's fine, it doesn't matter what state the representative is associated with, and baring rounding errors the number of representatives would stay roughly the same?

Disclosure: I work in the field of facial/emotional recognition.

This bill [0] seems pretty decent. There could be improvements; as per usual, the definition of FR isn't great, but it's one of the better ones I've seen.

> "facial recognition technology" means an electronic system for enrolling, capturing, extracting, comparing, and matching an individual's geometric facial data to identify individuals in photos, videos, or real time...

This ought to exclude things like face detection, alignment, and landmark annotation. Unclear if it would affect things like sentiment analysis, gait analysis, etc. Unclear if it's allowed to generate feature vectors (and operate on those) so long as it isn't used "to identify individuals." But it's scoped to LEOs, which is nice, as it won't affect academic research.

I'm generally in favor of more aggressive / overreaching regulations on ML/AI now, while the world is moving so fast and there is so much potential for abuse. They can always be repealed later, and there's always going to be entities which will push the envelope, regardless.

> a known effective mask.

...if you got a real one, and not one of the less effective fakes.
According to that article, the winner of the 10,000m race wore a mask to protect against his allergies for the first 4,000m, by which point it was just too uncomfortable to continue wearing: "Rupp said Salazar told him to “wear it as long as you can. As soon as it starts to get real hot or uncomfortable, or starts to stick and get sweaty, throw it off.” The mask came flying off after 4,000 meters. But Rupp was content to bide his time until the 9,200-mark."
The most useful thing wormholes could be used for is hypercomputers (if causality can be violated); or simply bypassing the Bekenstein bound with FTL communication in a processor exceeding the mass that would turn it into a black hole if it was spatially adjacent; or building an interstellar network that could survive the big rip.

Anything that mastered wormhole creation is also likely to expand into the universe at close to the speed of light with wormhole-carrying Von Neumann probes, making the Fermi paradox even more extreme if wormholes can be created.

The US is only the world's largest producer of corn, and of that, 40% is turned into fuel (ethanol) and 36% is fed to animals. 20% is exported, where again a significant amount is used for animal feed & ethanol.

So meat and maybe gas would become slightly more expensive but the world would most certainly not starve.

I've been super happy so far with the Drop Pandas (bluetooth headset). It's the first bluetooth headset I found that solidly beats my old $150 pair of wired headphones in audio quality in every way, after trying ~8 of the "best" options (my reviews are on amazon!). <$500 for something I'll spend thousands of hours using in their first year is cheap, the mic is good enough to use for calls, and "good" headphones tend to last a decade or more. If you're less picky about audio, the main Sony and Bose headsets are also excellent, other brands are broadly not worth the money (endless frustrations / flaky connections / terrible mic and noise canceling).

Also, not this year but I'd re-buy it in an instant: a 100% latex mattress. They're relatively pricey for a mattress, but it has already out-lasted every other mattress I've used, and still feels like new - no sag whatsoever, at 7 years. Expected lifespan is 2x or more compared to springs, and it has absolutely been worth the money already.
That's great. I think there is opportunity to create a white-brand business providing similar functionality to treatment centers and IOPs. Happy to talk about it if you like, I have quite a large network in that industry and advise a small IOP that would probably be willing to test something like that.
Hey, our thought exactly! Not sure if you saw in the post, but we are also developing a YSplit card that can split one-time payments e.g, restaurant bills, takeout, vacation & more.

Not really pointing at wealthy humans but I would wager that there are a variety of probable microbe combinations that predictably influence human behavior

Between toxoplasmosis from cats that give us more affinity to them at the expense of human relationships, and other unknown gut microbes, its very likely that even selfish behaviors or perhaps empathy are driven by these things

> Most all the income and productivity gains from globalization and go to the wealthy

Income gains, perhaps. Productivity gains no. People buy foreign goods because they tend to be significantly cheaper. Capital in the US tends to be reinvested, so we would stagnate in innovation.
Similar, I got 2014 BMW 535i Touring. With everyone buying EVs and nobody wanting wagons, it was a steal. I haven't had many cars in my life, but this thing is just astounding, and I'm always afraid when I take it in that BMW is going to try to upsell me on something or tell me something is broken, but everytime I go in they just say "oh my god! we never see these. You're cars in perfect shape!".

> I love black pepper's flavor and am always looking for better kinds of pepper;

If you haven't yet, I'd recommend trying fresh green peppercorn, which is actually same species as what we commonly know as black peppercorn – except unripe. I had a great pleasure in trying multiple dishes incorporating it when I traveled to Vietnamese Phu Quoc island, where they also grow it in abundance. It's astonishing how differently it tastes, especially considering you actually get to consume whole grains, thanks to their milder spiciness. Much recommended.

Languages are not inherently easy or hard. It all depends on where you're coming from: if you happen to already speak languages that are similar, then it can be said English will be easy to learn, otherwise, it's a language like any other. Just ask any Japanese or Chinese speaker how easy/hard it was to learn English.

The reason English got so popular is purely because of the power and wealth English speaking nations have amassed in the recent history.

Devices like the Garmin [0] were chunky though, weren't they, like a few cm thick, even compared to phones of the times they were big. And to my [limited and shaky] recollection people had car mounted antennae for GPS (in the late 90s) because they worked poorly without it?

The first retro-fittable GPS was in 1997, the Alpine CVA-1005 [1], which weighed >3kg and had a display of 26cm across; it connects for nav to a CDROM drive containing base unit [2]; here's the wiring diagram [3].

Specifying that anything can be done in the presence of UB is a poor specification. The word "specify" is pretty much the opposite of "anything."

Perhaps compilers should delete all scopes with UB: much more UB would be purged from code as a result (programmers would be forced to enable compiler errors on UB).

the future is here & it is slow as fuck (& ghastly ghastly over-priced).

usb2.0, a 1GHz core... a rpi4 will wallop this little toy, just demolish the shit out of it, at 1/3rd the price. or go up & buy a fantastic amazing fairly small x86 (used on ebay) that will destroy both for 2x the price. i really want collaborative open source hardware to become a thing. but wow, risc-v has so far to go to become an in any way at all real challenger.

it just sucks so bad that whatever cpu cores we make, we'll be saddled with no pcie, crappy usb, short of paying big bucks for some IP (99% of the times coupled to some specific fab) that does the interesting bits, like providing usb3, pcie, and, frankly & most presently-important, the future standard to unite them all, thunderbolt4. also the lack of available open source gpus is strikingly notable, and even those who do have gpu IPs to sell rarely have drivers.

this sbc is a necessary step, part of the progress of freeing ourselves. but man, $99? yikes. paying so much to sacrifice so much performance for this cause is a really really really hard sell. to be fair, it's just unreasonable, impossible to compete with how affordable rpis are. but the far far far superior x86 offerings available at 2x the price is what really makes the situation untennable for RISC-V would-be's. we want very much to give the moral choice it's large profit margins, but right now it's such an incredibly unappealing value proposition.

> On the other hand, "observational data show that regions or facilities with a higher percentage of the population wearing masks have better control of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) (7–9)." So how to explain these contrasting results and apparent inconsistencies?

My hypothesis regarding surgical mask prevalence and how it correlates with better virus control:

People who wear masks--however effective they may be--also behave in other ways to limit the spread. They minimize time spent in public indoor spaces, they keep distance from other people, they're more likely to self-quarantine if a family member is sick, etc.

The mask-wearing prevalence is a proxy for how serious the wearer takes Covid as a threat.
