> You only have to visit a random science postgrad program and see students from all over the world represented - even at prestigious US universities, having immigrated after doing their undergraduate studies elsewhere.

Why would you expect students to not be represented proportionally?

If anything, you should expect a disproportionate share because admissions weight races and ethnicities - especially, if as you claim - science education is better (it's not) in Rwanda or Rangoon than The US or the EU.

> The talent is already present, but lacking connectivity and experience.

You are pretty much reiterating my argument. The developed world is, by definition, behind. This puts people who live there at a disadvantage - in general - to people who live in the developed world.

The poverty of expectations implicit in that concern is profoundly depressing.

That sufficient number of people (to warrant passing such legislation) would be swayed on the topic of who to vote for, to disregard their experience and opinions built up over the past several years, in return for a $2 bottle of water to quench a mild thirst, seems inconceivable. I wonder if there's perhaps other reasons at play there.

I guess it may be interesting to look at whether there's any common features at all of all the state legislatures that have passed such laws this year.
Grab a digital ocean VM for $5/month and call it a day. Should be enough for all your (legal) torrenting needs.
> AWS outbound bandwidth costs are outrageous.

The torrent would have been a way to get the data from peers instead of serving it purely from S3 outbound.

If this was the only active seed for a torrent and there was nobody else, that would really be a problem.

But otherwise, this should technically result in less outbound bandwidth usage than serving the whole file out of S3.
Plain ole bit torrent. Run some seed nodes on dedicated hardware with unmetered bandwidth. It'll get you pretty far.
There are many factors aside from spending habits that might lead to discrepancies between purchasing power of a 6 figure salary.

One example: discrepancies in the local cost of living. For example, someone could live like royalty on a 6 figures is Arkansas, but might barely scrape by with the same salary in San Francisco. According to nerd wallet, a salary of $106k in San Francisco is roughly equivalent to a salary of $50k in Little Rock, AR.

It's pretty presumptuous to suggest that they need to sitting down and carefully tracking spend without knowing more information. Especially considering the original poster wasn't asking for advice (or judgement) from a random internet stranger.

Event scheduling I do in "remind calendar" for Linux with a little notify-send.

Most everything else in my life organization-wise, I use http://zim-wiki.org for. I just go through them and file them in ideas or todos.

I try to avoid using my phone as much as possible. The rule of thumb there is -- if it's not a real human communicating to me directly/individually or as part of a small group, I should try to just use the computer or not use it at all.
People often insist on this point, and I still don't get it. Honestly it comes across as intentionally exaggerating a claim beyond reason, in order to make it sufficiently counterintuitive to sound clever.

The point of the program is to get the computer to perform some task; the way we get the program into the computer is to write code.

You can say we're writing code for the compiler if you want to be pedantic; or you can say we're writing code for humans too, which is a perfectly valid point. But what do you actually mean by insisting that no, the code isn't for the computer at all, it's solely for other humans? It's clearly the language we use to communicate with the computer to tell it what to do; the fact that there's a translation step (performed by the computer) between what we write and what the computer executes doesn't change that in any relevant way.

hEDS, the disorder I have, is somewhat controversial like PANS is. the symptoms include hypermobility (overly flexible), spontaneous joint dislocations, widespread pain, joint degeneration, easily damaged skin, fatigue, immune dysfunction and tachycardia. ~2% of the population is hypermobile, but healthy, and don't have those symptoms. hEDS is known to be heritable, but the genes haven't yet been identified. many doctors conflate hEDS with healthy hypermobility, and don't take it seriously.

I realized on my own that I met the criteria, but the first few doctors I saw wouldn't listen to me, even after my arm popped clean off my shoulder. now I have an excellent care team, but it took me a couple years of fighting to get a diagnosis.
I'd imagine this first happened quite a long time before photographs, like centuries ago. Photos definitely helped, no question, but it's far from the only form of evidence.

Listen, I am sure this is a rigorous, safety-critical procedure. Several comments already show very well some details about flight plans and contingencies, and so on.

So how in the flying fsck are there not multiple service providers for a piece of mission critical data like this? Shouldn't this be something provided by multiple vendors over multiple ISPs and hosted in multiple regions by multiple cloud providers?

If you see birds come from that direction, or tides come from that direction with flotsam, then you can bet there is land. Within certain range, if you see specific clouds or tones on the horizon, you can also imply land. Also, if you head that way the Americas are kind of hard to miss.

GPUs specifically are hard to mask. Because gpus are terrible ( ;D ) and you have to expose a lot of details for webgl apps to work correctly (despite my efforts to limit feature set in the distant past), and hiding or adding details to that could break them so you have to assume that any site that's interested can know exactly what GPU you have.
> Connection to UFOs, antigravity, or the experiment with the nail described in this thread, still not apparent.

And yet much of it remains unapparent including how the effect you described “air flowing over a wing” makes a jet stay in the air: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/no-one-can-explai...

The point is there is only so much data open source and it is interesting to extrapolate what electromagnetism means to gravity because there might be a connection there. Whether it’s a school project to make a nail rocket into space or making a lifter with no moving parts. Putting it out to a thread dealing with electrical magnetic work is the right idea to get us thinking in this direction to discuss and discover what might be possible in these emerging areas.
> Conventional psychiatric drugs and talk therapy are backed up by decades of robust scientific evidence. This is not true, he notes, of the typical PANDAS therapies.

I think my issue with conventional psychiatric drugs and talk therapy is that they are what Tylenol is to a headache, they don't actually cure the condition, they simply mitigate the symptoms. So it's clear that conventional psychiatry has no clue of the root causes, and doesn't yet understand what exactly in the body or brain causes the symptoms. In that sense, I feel anything that can show a return to "normalcy" and has a root cause explanation, should be considered very seriously and researched deeply, over what simply mitigates symptoms.

> The long-term use of antibiotics especially worries him, because it could contribute to the problem of drug-resistant bacteria. This is still the mainstream position: The most recent edition of the Red Book, an exhaustive guide to childhood infectious diseases published every three years by the American Academy of Pediatrics, goes out of its way to recommend that children with PANS and PANDAS symptoms not be given an extended course of antibiotics.

That's a valid concern, but I feel someone curious (like me), just has to wonder, well why are the antibiotics needed for so long? What is it here that prevents them from actually getting rid of strep in the brain? Maybe there are alternatives to just permanent antibiotics dosing.
It's not uncommon for HVAC, automotive, and other "repair" trades to be idiots themselves and only capable of replacing major components rather than performing proper diagnostics. Yes, most repair technicians are competent but quality is spotty.
I evaluated it for possible use ~5 years ago, and found it too unreliable. Their trackers would shut down after some period of inactivity and didn't often seem to come back online for later peers. AWS neglected this feature.
We had one of those in the house when I was a kid; we called it the attic fan. It was noisy and generated a noticeable breeze in the house, but we had it for warm days and window a/c units on hot day, until dad got central air installed when I was in high school.
I don't understand why so many doctors seem incapable of doing research or accept research provided to them by their patients. If you have symptoms that match a condition documented in medical literature, and the doctor can't come up with a better fitting explanation, why would they reject it?

It's like these people learned a subset of their field and then just refuse to ever learn anything new.
Isn't the whole point of this comment to alert people who were concerned enough to check the other thread? Seems to defeat the point of it to move it to this thread, even if the comments are more on topic here.
Shorting a capacitor of sufficient size can send molten metal bits flying around as the leads melt under high current, or even make the capacitor explode. I’m all for DIY repairs, but if you’re going to do this at least wear safety goggles. Also, short the capacitor after turning the power off and before unscrewing it—that’s the time you’re most likely to complete the circuit with a fleshy part.

Edit: There might also be other bits in the system with residual power that refill the capacitor even after unplugging the mains, so a voltmeter is a good idea as well.
> If this was the only active seed for a torrent and there was nobody else, that would really be a problem.

An AWS connection is going to have WAY more bandwidth than everybody else in the system.

The bittorrent clients would prioritize the AWS seed and suck way more download off of it relative to everybody else in the swarm.
Freezers were also sold out early in the pandemic as people stockpiled frozen food.
I'm disappointed by what I'm seeing. We were promised a push for low end devices with Sun Valley, and instead we're getting elements of Windows 10X with HTML views everywhere and eye candy (both meaning more resource consumption).

I just want a simple OS that includes the essentials and gets out of my way. Every "app" and feature (like the stupid weather in the taskbar thing they just launched) should be opt-in and turned off by default. Damn, I really miss the simplicity and usability of Windows 2000.
On-call is the lifelong misery for me. I found a job recently without a lot of it, but I sense it's coming.

This is somewhat of a non-issue, S3 can still be used in a a .torrent file by entering a raw HTTP URL as a Web Seed.
It uses a lot more advanced techniques too, like rendering text and shapes in a hidden canvas + webgl, which will render slightly different between hardware, drivers, etc. Was also surprised to see that my HTTP_ACCEPT header was unique in 1 of nearly 5,000 devices, considering I am on a fresh (literally days old) MacOS install.

`If`... I believe we are actively harmed by these organizations.

TBH, I can tell a part of me has a `Can't beat 'em, then join 'em` mentality, but I believe where these organizations are headed is bad for even the future of their members.

Knowing these bodies exist, and believing as I do that the aim of those at the top of these organizations is to enslave most everyone, I can't understand not fighting against them.

That said, maybe you don't believe control and slavery is the ultimate goal of those that run these organizations? Or maybe you don't think they'll achieve it?

The fan wouldn’t be exchanging fresh air, it would be drawing it up from the ground. Radon gas is a product of decaying uranium underground. It usually gets into homes due to the “stack effect” where heated indoor air rises (in winter) and draws the gas up through the foundation. The parent commenter seems to be proposing a mechanism to do this in summer as well, just using a fan instead.

You may enjoy this essay, which calls this mechanism "liqudity flywheels": https://lt3000.blogspot.com/2020/07/market-inefficiency-liqu...

A liquidity flywheel is a situation where inflows into an asset class lead to buying pressure that pushes up prices, leading to favourable apparent return and volatility characteristics in the said asset class. This favourable outcome then attracts yet more inflows, leading to yet more buying, etc. Conversely, poorly performing asset classes with significant downside volatility can lead to investor redemptions, leading to forced selling that contributes to yet further price declines, yielding even worse returns and even greater redemptions, and so on. This process can go on for years, and sometimes even for decades, and is a fundamental contributor - perhaps the most important contributor - to both major asset-class bubbles, as well as asset price busts and secular lows that lead to fire sales prices (which are 'anti-bubbles' driven by the same drivers of bubbles in reverse)

I’m just running IOS/safari (same UA as 1/113 users) It seems I’d be easy to track based on my unique fingerprint? Or is there some other factor not mentioned that means my fingerprint isn’t expected to be unique in a larger set? If so, how large?

Your image viewer is editing registry keys to set itself as the file extension handler instead of using the correct way - the correct way is to register itself as a new handler so Windows prompts the user whether to change to the new program or not. Trying to make the change by editing registry keys is a pattern used by shady devs to hijack file extensions without user consent, and as s user defence Windows rejects the change and resets the file handlers to default.

The great firewall is not an impenetrable fortress. People in China routinely access the external world and most websites are not blocked at all until they are found to contain 'anti-nationalist' material.

Even then, people use a variety of VPNs to access sites not otherwise accessible.

As to your second point, people of all countries are easily blinded by their own nationalistic rethoric. I mean how many in the US had access to the same information as Snowden and said nothing? People acting in these circles are vetted for their patriotism and checks are in place to make sure they don't deviate.

People who are into these secret clubs -whether they are government agencies, hacking groups, terrorists, etc- tend to not want to lose their privileges, because it gives them power an insight- and also because they know the consequences to themselves -and possibly on their families- of violating their masters' trust.

It takes real courage to give that up and the outcome is probably often pretty bleak.
I'm not knowledgeable on bittorrent but I feel like it should still be 'compatible' (with a shim layer) with S3, just maybe not natively.

>Jesus's birth to late December for political reasons.

The Bible says Jesus was born 6 months after John the Baptist. John the Baptist was born within a two week period based of the schedule of John's father priestly duties. Since we do not know the exact year Jesus was born one option is that John was born in June. (His birthday is traditionally celebrated on June 24th.) Six months after that would be December. The idea we know for a fact that Jesus' birthday was not December 25th is just plain wrong.
Don't meant to imply that. Though Zoroastrianism and Vedic Hinduism maybe offshoot of some same proto religion. They have lot of commonalities in them.
Radon is particularly prevalent in Iowa. A completely closed up house is the worst thing for it!

My dad spent a few years thinking through details about the house before building. Passive radon mitigation was built in (active added later), air exchanger would bring in new air without losing all the heat/cold of the conditioned air, radiant floor heating in the basement, ~24" of blown in insulation in the attic, 6" walls for additional insulation, 24" eves give a bit more shade around the house.
Awesome, glad that's the case. Guess I have to hold my breath for a future where technologists stop putting their knowledge behind paywalls then.
Advaita (Non-dualism)- It says the consideration of each human being as a seperate individual self is an illusion, and that all/everything is one. There are different sects which teach/practise Advaita. Among the popular one, one sect advocates the studying of different Upanishads to internalize this non-dualism and realize this truth. The other one (which I follow) advocates meditation on the "I/Self/Presence/Awareness" to realize truth. Ramana Maharishi is the recent proponent of the I/Self path.

It seems to me that the worst case scenario for using BitTorrent is that S3 is the only seed and everyone downloads from that, however, I don't see how that is worse than the alternative which is to offer direct downloads from S3.

In other words, from a costs perspective, the worst case scenario for BitTorrent is the best case scenario for direct download.
