You can safely ignore it, the document is just a summary of Knuth's book. And it's a good one, I found it very helpful when I was working through the book. I found I had to read the material from several different sources to understand, in addition to working things out on paper/in code.

I'm not religious myself but honestly that seems like a perfectly reasonable motivation. While there are some people who believe the Surreals could lead to a deeper form of analysis, I think the most common reason to learn them is to apprehend something beautiful without any sort of utility. But as a heads up, if that doesn't sit right with you, then Knuth's book is probably not right for you either; it's framed in the style of the old testament. On the first day, Conway created zero, and saw that it was good; things like that.

This may be more to your taste.

No, I don't mean quarantines of actually sick individuals. I mean quarantines of anyone and everyone, regardless of testing. From the Supreme Court case I linked to:

> ... on September 29, 1898, the vessel arrived at the quarantine station some distance below the city of New Orleans, was there regularly inspected, and was found, both as to the passengers and cargo, to be free from any infectious or contagious disease, and accordingly was given a clean bill of health, whereby the ship became entitled to proceed to New Orleans and land her passengers and discharge her cargo. This, however, it was asserted she was not permitted to do....

Nobody on board the ship was sick, according to tests, and they were still lawfully quarantined, and the law was constitutional.

But you're right, this will all be forgotten in a few years and relitigated afresh in the court of public opinion (in every country) next pandemic, just like this particular case has been completely forgotten, the quarantines of the Spanish Flu have been completely forgotten, etc.
I'd imagine the research on "how hot is location <x>" would be reasonably robust. Seems unlikely that there would be substantial disagreement about a quantity that could easily be measured via a thermometer (even though the actual readings are probably being done by satellites)
Uhhh I'm a person and I use YYYY/MM/DD and DD Mon YYYY (1 Jun 2021). I worked in a chemical lab for a while with a fairly international group of chemists, and those were the two preferred timestamp formats.
They were drinking beer and wine most of the time, and often much weaker than our modern beer and wine.

Hard liquor is a big part of the problem, but social life in America is a total disaster and overshadows everything else.
Second this.

It's bad enough when every site makes you go through and pick exactly which invasive cookies you don't want, but I'd like to call out Stack Overflow/Stack Exchange as a particularly bad offender here. They present the dialog each and every time you visit one of their sites. It's beyond annoying, and, were it easily possible without sacrificing my ability to decline their cookies, I'd block that dialog element entirely. Maybe this is a good job for a browser extension?
California Senate Approves Bill to Legalize Psychedelics Like Psilocybin and LSD
> GPU to consume 18W

That was a bug on Apple’s part, not a feature. Case in point my Kaby Lake Windows laptop package power draw is less than 2W when plugged into 1440p.
This is entirely untrue. Europe funded vaccine development and made pre-purchases in a similar way to the Trump program with similar results. The reason for the EU's lag in rollout had to do with bureaucratic and political factors unrelated to vaccine development.

For instance: the US banned all vaccine exports, while the EU exported tens of millions of doses.
I think it'll be easier to have one network that's secure (or, at least, securable) at the protocol level, than two networks. As someone notes down-thread, people don't like dealing with two highly-separated networks, and if you have devices on both then that's a huge threat vector.

Further, I think states are likely to use this both to prevent beyond-their-reach nationals from attacking infrastructure and citizens, and to curtail foreign astroturf propaganda efforts.

The ID stuff is something I don't think all states will adopt, but some might, even in Democratic states. I think adjusting backbone routing to allow easy network-wide black holing based on verifiable origin, though, is very likely to become widely adopted over the next couple decades.
"as apple is doing what you think they are not doing"

You are misunderstanding this entire topic, and neither of your citations remotely support your claims.

Fact: Google apps do not show the tracking permission. Now as homework I want you to go and study why that is, and then figure out how that same scenario might just apply to Apple.

Do you even understand what "third-party" means? Clearly you don't.
Thanks for the background. For fun I did a thought experiment a couple weeks ago, of designing a vaccine verification system and arrived at the same cryptographic abstractions (without JWT and JWS, but same for offline verification with public keys) and it’s good to see the design matches mine, mainly as a validation to myself that I am understanding a practical application of those crypto building blocks.

The added bonus is there’s already an open standard I can use that’s been poked at by smarter people.

Exciting!
Can't you use formatToParts() to get most of the way there?
Agreed, but, it seems that even sites that don't use tracking cookies are starting to present at least a button that links you to their privacy policy that says they don't use any. I wish they'd just not show anything.

Intel built a fairly open platform whereas Apple is and always has been the China of tech.

> ...given the access Intel has given themselves at a deep level on every CPU.

And they use that to stop end users from doing what?

Meanwhile Apple will have you paying them yearly to sign apps as they continue to build a dystopian new world order where only they control everything you can do with your own hardware. I honestly hope that their marketshare keeps growing in all categories though. The more successful they are the better chance people will rebel against them. You can't run an app business in the United States without dealing with Apple. Whatever Intel has done is hardly comparable.

Do you mind describing a bit more your setup here?
How would cryptographically verified identities solve the misinformation problem?

Conservative elites which believe it is necessary to fabricate some external evil to preserve social order are historically willing to engage in obscurantism and spread lies under their real names.

The monopolization of farm land by domestic land lords is fault of foreign powers for not allowing enough living room, attempts to end feudalism in south america are Russian plots to establish Stalinist regimes on southern border of United States, UFOs are not domestic military projects but nefarious extraterrestrials, Soviet Union is not collapsing but actually developing undetectable super weapons, Iraq has weapons of mass destruction, etc.
If you drink 4-5 medium beers everyday, you'd need to drink at least 10 to induce a hangover.
I'm convinced that something happened to 80s/90s babies; it's like an entire generation got ADHD. It could be cable TV or the internet, it could just be that people are more open and aware about mental health now, or... it could be acetaminophen

> Concerns about paracetamol's [(acetaminophen's)] safety delayed its widespread acceptance until the 1970s, but in the 1980s paracetamol sales exceeded those of aspirin in many countries, including the United Kingdom. This was accompanied by the commercial demise of phenacetin, blamed as the cause of analgesic nephropathy and hematological toxicity. [0]

Why is OBS so slow on Mac? Is there a hardware issue here, or is it a software issue with OBS?

It’s fantastic, but the speed difference on Windows is so much better.
> You can safely ignore it, the document is just a summary of Knuth's book.

Knuth is a Lutheran, by the way (uh-oh). He even wrote 3:16 Bible Texts Illuminated[1].

One problem with embedded is how much variation there is across the board.

Articles like this hide this complexity by talking about "microcontrollers", but behind that innocent facade hide utterly different beasts like the Atmega (of Arduino fame), MSP430, PIC, SH4, and anything Cortex-M3-based, just to cite a few.

It's not just about the generic memory and compute constraints of the genre as a whole, but adapting to the specifics of each platform. Solved the platform/tooling for the ESP32? Great, but that doesn't help my STM32-based project.

To make a crude analogy: the familiar "PC" architectures are pretty consolidated (x86, x86-64, or arm32(Thumb), arm64), but they're like the primate clade compared to the microcontroller "animals" that range from the carpenter bee through the sponge.
FWIW I appreciate your civil tone and continued conversation on the topic.

It's not my intention to continue this thread forever but I want to clear up one notable thing:

> That only makes sense in a system where you already had access. China always censored outside media, such as news, magazines, literature, movies and television.

This isn't true. China's internet access began in 1994 and it did not start with a great firewall, but it wasn't long until 1998 when the CCP began the Great Firewall project fearing a new network they could not control [1]. Here's an excerpt from a Chinese news outlet about the internet at the time [2]:

> On September 14, 1987, Chinese and German scholars jointly drafted an email "Cross the Great Wall and Go to the World" in Beijing

Apparently written before the CCP built another wall.

It's awful. "Search with Google" is actually the only reason I ever use the context menu.

Copy? Keyboard/mouse buttons for that.

Select All? Why would I want to do that when I just made a selection?

Print Selection? How common can that actually be, to justify being positions above "search the internet for this thing"??

Take screenshot???? Really??

Why does "Inspect Accessibility Properties" get real estate there? That's a legitimate question.
Not the OP, but what bothers me is not that Knuth is relgious (but see update below), that is perfectly fine. What bothers me is that he chooses to proselytize his religion in a technical publication. That seems inappropriate to me. Imagine the reaction if instead of glorifying God, he had written instead, "Finally, I hope that this paper may glorify Allah the compassionate and merciful..."

[UPDATE] I made a mistake here and assumed that Knuth had written this because I happen to know that he's a Christian, but I was wrong about that. And in retrospect I should have realized that I was wrong because Knuth is actually quite scrupulous about keeping his religious views private. But I stand by the substance of my comment subject to s/Knuth/Tøndering.
I wonder how far you could mesh up the east coast, if you had mesh devices in every home, and what the round trip time over that range would look like if you're hitting a device every hundred feet or so.
> The calculation for CPI is not publicly available, but it has been believed for some time that gasoline is a huge part of the index.

The BLS publishes the weights for the CPI calculations every year (see e.g. [1]). There's no need to speculate about it. Gasoline is about 3% of the index.

I didn't know that, that's interesting. Thank you.

To clarify, I didn't mean, you can ignore it because it's irrelevant, as much as, you can derive the bulk of the value from the text if you ignore the introduction.
Yup. 2010 was when they really divorced it from the Legacy platform and it became its own thing.
> My first impression when I spent time was in the US was indeed how bipolar drinking is compared to Europe.

There are two possible relationships a person can have with alcohol - it is either primarily a food, or primarily a drug.

Americans have a hard time treating it as food, although thankfully that seems to be changing.
I have similar feelings, but I wonder if such sentiments will change once (if!) I reach 75-85, especially if I feel healthy and young at that age.
Good BBQ is good BBQ - no matter if it is in Texas, Portland, Ohio or anywhere else.
OTOH, roundabouts with stop signs are just the worst of both worlds. I've seen this distressingly often. Looking at you, Berkeley....
this is already the case. certifications for 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi have different requirements between the US and EU. Often in the EU companies have to lower the peak power.
> Amongst other things this means the powerful party putting in an arbitration clause needs to pay for it, and they can't just unilaterally change that after the fact even if they have a clause saying they can because courts would not permit it and the whole thing would go down in flames anyway.

Do you have any Federal caselaw citations for that? Serious question.

Arbitration clauses didn't become nearly universal until after AT&T Mobility v. Concepcion, 563 U.S. 333 (2011). That decision said that state common law doctrines like unconscionability were pre-empted by the Federal Arbitration Act. After that decision the shift to mandatory arbitration began in earnest across all industries.

Federal law famously has no common law. (Not strictly true in practice, but true enough in this case.) I don't know of any Federal law, statutory or pseudo-common law, which could substitute for doctrines like unconscionability, especially as applied to arbitration clauses.

They may exist (thus the sincere question), but I can't bring to mind any limiting principles beyond simple rules of interpretation (e.g. resolve ambiguity against the drafter). Certainly in a cursory search it seems that it's not unheard of for such clauses, even in consumer contracts, to require a plaintiff to pay all expenses if they lose--i.e. English rule for attorney's fees. The only limit seemed to be that an arbitration clause couldn't be used to restrict the benefit of other explicit Federal statutory rights, but those seem to be in short supply and lacking the breadth of the FAA.

I suspect one of the only reasons arbitration clauses haven't become even worse for consumers is out of fear of Federal Trade Commission (FTC) attention. But that seems more like a temporary reprieve. All it takes is one company to call the FTC's bluff to embolden everybody else. AFAIU consumer-oriented companies refrained from using mandatory arbitration clauses largely out of fear of FTC reprisal for using clauses that were likely to fail under state law of the most populous states. But once Federal courts made it clear that the last of the state law barriers was pre-empted, fear of the FTC dissipated even though the FTC had no more or less powers than before Concepcion.
Wow that's awesome! I take it you're responsible for a chunk of the books available now on openlibrary.org?

When scanning books like that did you ever see anything interesting or are you so zoned out you don't really pay attention?
Because giving your app root even to the container could let it blow something up that’s important inside the container, and it means you don’t necessarily know what permissions it actually requires. Then when you get to a client site and they say “Docker isn’t on our approved software list” you won’t know what permissions it needs to install.

There’s a low chance of this scenario happening, but lord knows there’s a Unix greybeard somewhere that doesn’t want Docker on his precious pets, and will like to know what permissions your app actually needs.

First of all, the quote is not by Knuth, but by Claus Tøndering (the author of the paper linked). Second of all, the "Preface," where the quote is snipped from, is just that -- a preface -- a lot of people thank their moms in there.

It's just much ado about nothing and annoying posturing. Why is why I, and I'd assume others, take issue with it.
There is nearly zero efficiency penalty for modern AWD systems.
A developer said the compact theme isn't much work as long as they have to maintain the touch theme.
Regarding violence, I explicitly envisioned this as a worst-case scenario.

As a young male of 20, I was a fan of heavy metal and used to have long hair. Because I was “different”, I used to have inner-city kids shout verbal abuse and throw stones at me (in daylight, walking home from college), have adult males try to start fights in pubs or on the streets and once had a random thug spit in my face as I cycled past while in a bad part of town. Even other friends who were taller and more physically imposing had to deal with similar crap if they were on their own. There are always going to be malicious people who will pick on anyone who’s different in some way. They’ll probably pick on anyone they think isn’t a threat but the less “different” you are, the better your chances are of avoiding unpleasantries.
Maybe make some regulations that make them slap another layer of complexity over everything. That'll stop the problem caused by all the complexity.
The fight that led to EGCS had nothing to do with licensing. It had to do with a broken development process that the release manager wasn't willing to change. About two years of backlogged bugfixes for C++ were in some state of acceptance, but things were such a mess that releases weren't really possible: people got email saying that the bug would be fixed in the next major release of g++ but it never happened. EGCS kept the same licensing policies and also kept copyright assignment in place. Some developers wanted a clean break with the FSF, but most just wanted to get GCC fixed. It was a delicate dance to keep RMS from getting pissed off and trying to shut it down; one selling point that kept him calmer was that doing it the EGCS way kept Cygnus from just owning everything and taking over.
Yes! I always find it hilarious to pay so much for allergy tablets or other things of that nature when I'm in Germany. Part of it, I think, is an effort to avoid having tons of pills laying around all the time. To think... There must be thousands of lethal doses of all sorts of medications strewn throughout my neighborhood (in the US). That's a scary thought. Germany is probably a bit different.

Also, apologies — I edited my comment for brevity so the information about my family member's nationality no longer appears.
There are a lot of these in Berkeley. On top of being small, they have stop signs at the entrances, too! I tend to believe they're mostly an excuse to put a tree in the middle of the road, because a lot of them do have trees in the center.

> Maybe they send you to a few conferences

Though that still IMO falls short of that number, and also being sent to ~3 conferences every year seems extremely atypical.
That’s the problem that cryptocurrency originally tried to solve, but of course that comes with its own set of drawbacks and shortcomings.

The fundamental problem is that the US Dollar was not designed for digital transactions. When bank networks came into existence, they stopped trading physical bills and just started flipping bits in their privately owned databases.

What needs to happen is the Federal Reserve needs to create a digital Dollar system that is secure, is accepted everywhere, and can be transacted quickly with zero fees. Erase the bank networks and turn banks into customer service centers who are given custodial powers (credit, chargebacks, rewards, etc) over your wallet in return for fees.

The government could even levy taxes over the entire US economy this way. No more tax dodging and loss of trillions in public funds. No more TurboTax.
It was behind some trees about 30-40 meters away, I ran across the street to get a better view(it was suspicious after all) and didn't notice much parallax shift, but I doubt I would have seen much against a blue sky. Obviously if you don't have a good view of a random object like that it's extremely hard to judge distance. It might as well have been a point object that's almost impossible to judge anything other than color/shape/movement. The movement is what made me realize it's a UFO, if it disappeared or kept moving at a reasonable rate I wouldn't have though twice about it since it's probably some white/silver balloon being blown in the wind or something.

Even if it was close by, you don't jump from almost stationary to the other side of the sky from your perspective at a reasonable speed.
Yes, the dose makes the poison and yes medicl amphetamines are sometimes abused but the literature you cited¹ isn't really about the medical use of amphetamines. Those papers are about the abuse of amphetamines.

From my experience with Vyvanse I find that amphetamines have a dose response function with linear and exponential steps. 15mg is barely perceptible, 30mg is like a coffee without the anxiety but it last 8 hours. 45mg is like 30mg but a little longer. 60mg in 2 doses (first pill at 7am and next one at 9am) is a perfect treatment against my ADD. Once I tried 90mg and it was terrible, I experienced bruxism, anxiety and hyperacidity for 18 hours. I am sure that I would develop the problems you listed if I were to take 90mg a day but 90mg of Vyvanse is supratherapeutic...

1:
Link 41 is about abuse (supratherapeutic and frequent doses).
Link 43 I can't comment as I don't have acces but it's an old paper from 1988...
Link 45 is about abuse again.
Link 46 is about accidental ingestion by a baby. (a therapeutic dose for a teenager is clearly supratherapeutic in a 8months infant)
Link 47 is probably about abuse (the abstract talk of reversible consequences of dose escalation) but I don't have acces to the paper.
