I began trail running about a month ago, nothing excessive but enough to break into a decent sweat and send my heart rate up. One thing I've taken away from this is the extasy and clarity of mind experienced post-run is truly fascinating. What's better and I say this to you Anecdotally, was the almost recursive Impetus of ideas that began to flow to me in the latter hours of the day.
A Republican seeking to "nationalize" a private company? Sounds a little...socialist, don't ya think?
I think the idea behind it is the parenting approach. A hypothesis about it is that it results in children earning more money, but that's not inherent to the concept.

Ctrl-W is delete previous word on some terminals, so I wrote "3d scene on top [of] each other" and decided saying "3d scene inside each other" made more sense.
Important context is that all interventions that have assumed amyloid to be causal for Alzheimer's have failed to show material clinical improvement.

So the bar is really much higher than "did remove plaque" and the prior should be this wasn't going to improve clinical response. The fact that it didn't and was still approved is a complete abdication of what the FDA preaches. It's rare to see a uniform response from those that report on drug dev. but it has been unequivocal - the FDA needs to get its shit together.

I, personally, have little hope for that.
Oh like masers and lasers you mean ;-)
SALT is a tax break for the rich because state and local taxes are progressive, the rich pay more per dollar earned, and the rich are much less likely to be taking the standard deduction.

And when a state like New York or California decides to raises income taxes, it should not be understood that they are strengthening their participation in any power devolution scheme. It could work that way, but it doesn't. The Feds do not generally delegate their services like that.
> If Pulumi didn't bless it, it doesn't exist in Pulumi's world.

That has not been my experience. I have personally ported a Sentry TF provider into Pulumi, and I will grant you that their docs and examples are bordering on active user hatred for exercising the process, but it does work:

https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-terraform-bridge#adapting-a...

https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-tf-provider-boilerplate#rea...

What mystifies me about that situation is that I do actually appreciate the amount of silliness that is required to avoid using Pulumi cloud: they are not financially incentivized to make that easy, but I'd guess a lot more folks would nope right out if they didn't make it possible

However, I would think they'd want to make ingesting a TF provider into Pulumi as smooth and reliable as possible, so they don't have people close their browser tab when they don't find a supported provider for Pulumi but it exists in TF
It probably will.

Ideas about how to get this right are welcome.
I know this is controversial, but I find them hard to understand. When I call `useState()`, what's the identity of the state that I'm using? What ties the state together between subsequent invocations of my component? For example, I know that strange things happen if you conditionally invoke `useState()`. People like to talk about "functional components", but hooks seem to live and breathe on mysterious side effects that I don't understand.
This is pretty straightforward in Pulumi. I recently built a stack that, in a single `pulumi up`, creates VPCs and subnets in a handful of different accounts with VPC peering, routing and DNS between each of them, including an AWS Client VPN set up so you can access all the VPCs from a single VPN endpoint.
> If a rich person doesn't want to marry/have a relationship with a person that only likes them for their money... then don't.

I think the claim is that you don't know whether a person is only interested in you for your money, and that this colors every social interaction you have, romantic or otherwise, with a undertone of worrying that any generosity you display is being exploited by someone who will abandon you the moment the money runs out. Cf fair-weather friends, miserliness, etc.
Choosing != Figuring out
This is an apples to oranges comparison -- a run-time compiled stylesheet vs. a statically-generated stylesheet. Styled Components has options for statically-generating their stylesheets (https://styled-components.com/docs/advanced#server-side-rend...), so why wouldn't you compare those?
For most people the beaten path is how they get on the ladder towards building wealth. You can always hop off the well worn part of that ladder but you can’t easily get back on it once you’ve fallen off.

You can feel that way regarding status vs talent if you want. Reality to me indicates that learning and execution are only important if you can get yourself into a position where you can use them. If you are a peon it’s quite hard to make a difference in the world even if you have those in spades. The way you find yourself in such a position might vary but going through the well worn path is tried and true.
Do you have a link to a IME tutorial? Or at least the official docs? To me the whole things is just a blackbox that doesn't serve any purposes that are in my interest.

Wikipedia is missing such a link.

> This comment perfectly encapsulates the political/societal leanings I completely disagree with. This sentiment of "nobody can have anything nice unless there's enough for absolutely everyone to have an equal amount."

That's not what the OP said. They said that they're against a system that permits some to escape work while others never can. In other words, some people can comfortably retire when they're old, and some are basically forced to work until the day they die, and some never have to work at all. That's not at all the same as saying that everyone should have equal outcomes at all levels of the game, so much as saying that everyone should eventually be able to cross the same finish line.

> It's anti-freedom and dictatorial to force everybody to wage slavery just because some people are born poor or are careless about their finances.

What you're failing to recognize is that wealth disparities are artificially created by government policies. The government isn't going around dictating to people what is or is not beautiful, or dictating what you must eat so you will be healthy, or what you must wear to be fashionable, but they are dictating what every person must pay into the system to keep it running.

It turns out, the people who are benefitting the most from the system are not paying into that system. If you're really interested in spreading freedom, then perhaps you should be more invested in the 99.9% whose financial freedoms are being curtailed in order to prop up that remaining 0.01%.

It erodes social cohesion. When I went to elementary school in Sweden I shared a classroom with both a child that came to our country has a refugee and another whose parent sat in parliament. Different social classes intermingled frequently. While there are clear class divisions in Sweden, the distances are not so great. There is a sense of security that comes with a more equal society that I think can't be replicated by any other means. I think that once you've lived in a fairly equal society, though Scandinavia does have its shortcomings, it is hard to excuse inequality.

How does Bezos harm you? I don't want to put the blame squarely on his shoulders but I would like to point out an apparent dynamic. When a class of people are decoupled from the issues the majority faces the outcome is resentment. Recordbreaking growth for billionaires while many are suffering their most trying year to date is creating tension.

There is definitely a narrative that can explain why Bezos fortune is rightfully his down to the last cent and why he is a net positive in this world. And it wouldn't necessarily be incorrect. However you can't avoid the fact that his wealth is manifasted as unaccountable power. A society plagued by unaccountable power, which is what I believe that inequality ultimately is, is not healthy.

Not my idea, nor one I think is perfect, but I assume they are saying this would no be every company, just those where they would rather give shares than pay tax.

No doubt they would be loads of ways to scam this though, setting up supposedly valuable companies to 'pay' a big tax bill, then rinse the company or allow it to fail while diverting profit elsewhere.

This is the beginning of the Republican rebrand to be the people's party again, since democrats have abandoned that cause long ago.

Scientists have spend enormous amount of time and effort studying animal communication and behavior and it mostly contradicts what you believe.

With the exception of octopi, primates, birds and cetaceans, animals that do extremely intelligent actions turn out to be automatons.

Usually when observing and experimenting animals closely, especially insects, they are just state machines. Very complex sequences are often executed from start to finish blindly. You can reveal how ants, bees or flies are automatons by making little changes to their environment. They do the sequence from start to finish. If you interrupt them, they can't start from where they ended. They start the sequence from the start.
You either missed my point or you are making my point.

I am no expert, but my understanding (referenced obliquely in the article) is that this is not the first drug to target reducing the amyloid beta plaque, that does not show positive results. This is raising the question of whether it's treating a side-effect of the disease, rather than actually treating the disease. In other words, it's not all that surprising anymore that a drug targeting the plaque, does not work well.
Might not be a fair comparison, but there are people who are looking at changing up how their css is written so it makes sense to be aware of the differences in performance.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the SNMP retransmit counters are just that: a count of retransmits the host sent. Raw retransmit counts are often just a vague indication that something's up — the host is retransmiting, either because there's loss on the path or the receiver is overloaded. But given a host can talk over many paths to many other hosts a raw count isn't specific enough to be useful.

The system Facebook (which predated eBPF via a custom ftrace event) produced, effectively, tuples of `(src_ip, src_port, dst_ip, dst_port, src_container, dst_container, ...)` and aggregated them over all hosts. This allowed counting retransmits by, say, receiving host. If there's one host that has a bad cable and is receiving retransmits from 1000 clients we may not see that signal in simple counters on the clients — for them it's just a tiny bump in the overall retransmit rate. But if we aggregate by receiving host the bad guy will stand out like a sore thumb. Same thing for all the hosts in a rack, or all hosts reachable over a given router interface, or whatever else you want. One of my common workflows when facing a bump in general errors (e.g. timeouts to the cache layer) was to quickly try grouping retransmits by a few dimensions to see if one particular combination of hosts stood out as sending or receiving more retransmits.

tl;dr: the SNMP data is one-dimensional. FB's system allowed aggregating and querying by many dimensions. This is really useful when there are thousands of machines talking to each other over many network paths.
Things have improved but it's not clear the author realizes the magnitude of what he's trying to do.

The big ticket item is the autofree memory management system which promises near C/Rust performance and minimal overhead without the complexity of borrowing and ownership. To date, this system does not work and is "wip" as the vlang community likes to say. There are also no clear explanations of how it works beyond just "it inserts calls to free() when you are no longer using a variable" which is ... extremely obvious. The more interesting question of how the compiler determines something is no longer being used in the face of aliasing and no borrowing system is completely unanswered. No one working on the project understands how complex that problem is. Initially the goal was that this system would manage all memory for the programmer automatically, this goal has since moved to "manage 90% of objects in memory and use GC for the rest". I suspect we will see that number continue to drop as the author realizes this is intractable without whole program analysis (which they can't do and still hit their compilation time targets).

Other items are very much in an alpha state if they work at all. Only in the last month have you been able to create a generic function with more than one type parameter, although V has been claiming support for generics since at least last year. There's still no ability to constrain the type parameter to something that implements an interface/trait/protocol.

C2V, another wildly ambitious project that could literally be a PhD project in automatic language translation, was supposed to be released "this week" 5 weeks ago. It's currently in a very private alpha and no source has been released.

Which is basically the state of most of the author's projects: huge promises in terms of features and performance with most of them little more than demos. I've come to believe this is an intentional strategy by the author to maximize his Patreon revenue. He makes big promises on social media and then delivers the easy 20% of the project to his followers before switching to another project. It would make far more sense to release a finished project before starting another massive one and yet he can't sit down and finish a project because he knows he can't actually deliver what's been promised.
Not saying I agree with it but, per the article: "In lieu of a fee, Yost argues in the complaint, Google collects user data that is monetized primarily by selling targeted advertisements."
Yes, the appropriateness Amjad's response does depend on the specifics of the situation and whether his behavior was bad. That is astutely observed.

Heat pumps can be used down to around -15F. This does impose a limit, but it's a lot further north and/or a lot less frequent than most people assume.

They simply periodically pump a bit of heat back out to keep the exchanger free of ice.

You'll periodically need a backup source of heat, but most of the time you'll be fine with the heat pump alone.

And this here is the sad reason why these schemes will always happen.

It's simply more profitable for them to pay the negligible fines/fees.

I'd bet dollars to donuts this would change immediately if there were criminal liabilities involved.

But since corporations are rich people who face no repercussions and who can limitlessly lobby to craft laws bespoke to them, I don't see that happening any time soon.

The argument is that an attacker that gets your secret key material also gets your saved messages. If you had a more secure way to protect the saved messages then you could of used it to protect the secret key material. It is more or less the same problem.

especially given that they don't seem to be concerned about having internet service providers declared public utilities.

Which is why it will obviously fail at actually doing anything useful.

However, the intended purpose may not be so much to do anything useful, as it is to score some points for incumbent politicians. In that, it could succeed brilliantly. It's actually a very smart move if you consider the political benefits accrued to politicians.

> Which they have to pay back with post tax money

Unless they die first. If heirs hold on to inherited property for a while (2 years?) they can sell it at the cost basis reset to the value at the time they inherited. They pay back the loan with the before-death gains untaxed. The original buyer got to effectively realize their gains via loans, untaxed.

I'm against wealth taxes, but you make a good point.

You may have just solidified my opinion against property taxes :)

Seriously, evaluating and setting values for property takes a lot of resources at the city/county level... it would take a massive increase to properly evaluate wealth for taxation, because so much of it is completely intangible and abstract.

> Movie theater attendance has been dropping steadily. Theaters, especially today's multi-plexes, are vast wastelands of empty seats the majority of the time. There absolutely is a benefit to them selling more tickets at off-peak times, or to not-so-hot films, or just as an incentive to sell popcorn. Keep in mind all this extra volume would cost theaters ZERO in additional marketing expense.

But if theaters wanted to do that then they would lower prices themselves.

Right, so when I said ECC _might_ not even be taped out, it obviously depends heavily on the die. Sometimes they repackage Xeon dies as extreme high end consumer parts, but it's very rare and doesn't apply to the general case (and your examples are almost a decade old at this point).

That's probably technically true, but a bit misleading. It's also pretty much the only city in the UK where it's difficult to get out into actual countryside. I used to live in Bristol and it certainly felt greener and more rural than London, even if it technically isn't.
I keep track of upstream image changes using https://github.com/crazy-max/diun

... but I also separately ensure all software installed in a docker image is pinned to a version, and have a process I run daily to check whether the upstream packages versions have changed, in which case I rebuild the images which then get the updated (possibly security) version.

It's fiddly, and a lot of bash and perl. I'd welcome a similarly trust-able tooling from a reputable source.
All tax records are public in some developed countries. This is a cultural line that should be moved IMO. Maybe not all the way to full public disclosure of all records, but certainly away from the status quo. Government transparency is good.
