And now -1? Dang, sorry to rub your lamp, thanks for your eventual reply to my mail about the rational for flagged posts a while back and for asking for ideas then (I didn't reply again as I didn't have one then, but saying "Post flagged by users" would remove ambiguity from that system), but to save time now; single dimensional democracy without checks and balances is what makes this world unsustainable. Please seriously consider bringing the advancement of metamoderation that made Slashdot and kuro5hin not be sucked to a place where it feels like fair participation is not unjustly muted.
Or they could use the 'do not disturb' function on their phone.
If you change from US-only to worldwide, you roughly get their figure.
Yes, if you make a mistake, you could easily overdose, hypoglycemia and die. Or underdose, and become hyperglycemic and enter an altered mental state where you'd be unable to function normally, or lose connection with reality.

I don't think it's reasonable to expect everyone who takes or buys it, to be able to determine if what they need to inject into their body to survive is safe and functional. So yeah, I do think there should be laws and limits on what qualifies, and who's allowed to make it.

Do I think a large corporation is the only thing able to do that? No, but I suspect that it'd be hard to prove you can make the minimum guarantees that it's safe from the first dose to the last. And that you have resources to attempt to compensate anyone you hurt if you do break those guarantees.
The single killer feature of windows, unrivaled by Mac or Linux, is playing video-games.

Expensive professional software is often available on Mac.

Probably the target market for windows evolved to become people who tolerate advertising (or at least that's what PMs at M$ think).

Half the price is paid in the license fee. The other half is a lifetime of ads exposure.
I used to program on the connection machine. I tried to do some work recently with the intel vector instructions and was quite frustrated by the lack of scans. we used them for _everything_
It's unclear to me if the lack of competition is due to IP laws. For all I know, they've been coasting with the same production methods for 20+ years (the article mentions that insulin was relatively cheap in 2002). With such large profit margins there wouldn't be much incentive to improve anything.
The video partially contradicts that. Electric motors are quieter than engines, but tire noise tends to be higher, since EVs tend to be heavier than their gas equivalents.

I would, though, definitely like to banish the sound of idling diesel engines from cities. Replace diesel buses and garbage trucks, and fine the operators of ships, trains, and heavy industrial equipment based on the amount of noise they generate in an urban area.

This kind of comment is not constructive.
Positive way of looking at it: Warning to political enemies/litmus test to see how court will respond

Negative way of looking at it: Virtue signaling/needing to appear to do something/campaign donation solicitation
Always use UTC for timestamps.

Never use UTC for dates. Like OP says, a simple YYYYMMDD string is better.
> so frequently that the building had to replace pump motors every two years

How long should a pump motor last? Anyone know?
> There is also no replacement for the overwhelming satisfaction and pride that hard work and determination inevitably leads to. This is an innate, selfish need we all have but one that belongs entirely to us and us alone.

Prime example of generalizing from the (singular, personal) experience.

The author should spend some time with non-neurotypical people (ADHD, ASD) and ask them how they experience the effects of hard work.

Public transportation, bikes, Uber, walking

Allow denser construction so the places you need to get are within walking distance.

There are other forms of transportation besides cars.
A law that requires apps and websites to ask their new members what they want from that company And then the most repeated comment/idea/design should be applied.
I live in Asia where everyone drives scooters and small motorbikes. They are not that loud - certainly quieter than cars. It's only large bikes with exhausts designed to be loud that rattle your bones. Thankfully they are rare here.
Less than 1us is relatively straightforward on an embedded system.

My application was simulcast for a software defined radio. It was running on a TMS320 DSP (192MHz) with DSP/BIOS as the operating system. Timing was driven by a GPS 1PPS pulse connected to an interrupt pin. The absolute response time was around 100ns and repeatability was of the order of 10 nanoseconds (dominated by the drift between the 1PPS and the processor's clock).
> If you can find an efficient, generic, and universal method for synthesizing molecules of arbitrary shape and complexity, then you would receive the Nobel Prize for Chemistry and possibly Physics and Medicine too.

I hate to burst your bubble, but that is almost certainly not literally true. Any device with those capabilities will be the end result of heck of a lot of engineering (much of it incremental), but whatever scientific discoveries are necessary will be so far removed that they will hardly seem relevant.

Theoretically, the 2016 Nobel for chemistry might prove to be the relevant foundation for the necessary engineering, but time will tell.

Anyway, discoveries like CRISPR, that can be immediately (relatively speaking) deployed as a revolutionary tool, are by far the exception.

As an exercise, feel free to identify the Nobel prizes that were awarded for the invention of xerography (aka photocopying), digital laser printing, and thermoplastic 3D printing (or any other extant additive manufacturing method).
For an incredibly enjoyable fictional take on this, read The Water Knife, which posits a climate change driven future in which ancient water rights basically determine the survival of people and are thus the cause of violent struggle.
Actually yeah, because it would force the people who have some pull to fix the system in a different way.
There are some examples like Truvada which seem to be very open.

Gilead would reimburse any out of pocket costs.

Even still it's just a sick game to bilk insurance companies, and thus us insurance premium payers, out of more money while pretending to be looking out for consumers. The monthly cost on my really great insurance was still over $1k out of pocket, which took a bunch of paper work and over a month to get back. Poor people don't have that luxury.

Oh and now that Gilead's license has run out they have a new very expensive PrEP drug magically appear. Which they tout doesn't have as bad long term downside on your organs. The skeptic in me seems to think the timing is too perfect. if there is a safer drug throw it out asap. maybe they did, I can't know that but I have a strong distaste for Gilead in particular.

For-profit healthcare is one of the biggest moral failings of our country.
His/her unwitting mistake was to put it on Spotify to begin with. The whole point of Spotify is to go where the audience is. The songwriter already had an audience on TT, the next step would be to just link to the song on Dropbox or better yet, on their own website, with a PayPal/Kofi button.

By putting it on Spotify, you now have to play by their rules.
The video mentions porous asphalt as one way to limit road noise. I hadn't heard of that before.

I also liked the idea of planting the ground that streetcar tracks run through with grass.
Most psychology research is based on self reporting. It is the standard in that field.
>anti-science activists leading an otherwise-developed country to top the chart in pandemic deaths.

You mean the anti-science activists who told everyone early on not to wear masks because they were useless, who are now worshiped as infallible heroes? Or perhaps you are referring to the violent extremists who dropped bombs on Syria yesterday?

You're right, there is no perfect solution. When the centers of power arbitrarily wield the power to silence dissident voices and call it "moderation" we are all worse off, and only the lies and disinformation of the powerful are allowed to be heard.
This thread is probably off topic and i don't share the GP view that people here were overly in denial, I see people discussing the mission, but I'll make a point anyway.

Mobile payment processing. TikTok. Governance. Chinese cuisine. Gunpowder.

Which were then copied elsewhere.

It's fair enough in some areas to say China copied, and stole tech (basic manufacturing initially, advanced fighter planes), but as a general characteristic to say "all China does is imitate not innovate", i think that's: a tired old inaccurate trope, blinds you to see achievements, prevents you from improving but comforting you and making you feel better about you own increasingly relatively less impressive achievements as a result.

It's not too much of a problem, but in general, is good for everyone to be clear eyed about what's actually going on: good if you want up appreciate and respect China, good if you want to compete or battle with China.

I find this trope, (understandable as it is because people recieve a biased view via media, and are incentivized to believe that because China's rise looks scary), part of the Western canon of comfort narratives that really shoot the West in the foot. When China was rapidly growing, they didn't look at the West and say, "oh they're so inferior, our culture is way more advanced than them," they hungrily absorbed everything that works to learn and grow. I think it's time the West shows a bit of humility and starts learning from China in areas where that works. It's not every area but the two cultures certainly can learn from each other in many ways.
Exactly, like a bank that doesn’t lock it’s vault because the front door is locked.
This is pretty common in New York City too so it’s boy just a southern thing.
I've had this discussion with many confused developers.

Seems like everyone has to stub their own toe on this to get it.
High school, ~2005. A classmate's dad was a fairly high up DEA agent and he came to class to talk about his drug warrioring. Despite all his warrioring, he sadly stated that the DEA probably seized less than 1% of all drugs entering America.

So I raised my hand and asked if all the billions we spent on the drug war were wasted considering it seems like a total failure. He about had an aneurysm! Looked like his brain was going to explode that someone would ask this. I wonder how many people devoted their entire lives to this stupid, useless war. Probably one of the most destructive, idiotic things you could spend your life doing.
Cities are made for people. Those people drive cars.
That is about requirements, though. The failure in this example reflects a gap in the spec where there should have been a requirement for proof of building inaccessibility, in the form of e.g. a video of the worker trying and failing to open the door.

At it happens, this exact thing is 99% of the reason Amazon requires its delivery people to take+submit a photo proof of a delivery when they mark the package as "left at door." Without that requirement, they'd be able to just toss the packages out and mark them as "left at door." Amazon doesn't show those pictures to customers to show them where the package was left — that part should be obvious. They show them to customers so the customer can drive the complaint process when the picture shows that the driver did something stupid! The fact that customers are handed this evidence, in turn disincentivizes drivers from doing something stupid with customers' packages in the first place.

(This personally happened to me just last week: I ordered an Amazon package, and the driver left it at — and took a picture
of — the door of a condo within a building that, per the picture, was a completely different building from the one I live in. That picture was very helpful in getting [Amazon's customer service to contact the driver to get] me my package. That was an accident on the driver's part, but it should be clear to the drivers that this is a system that would track — and automatically punish — any attempt at intentional malfeasance at this step, on the basis of this same evidence.)
4chan is moderated specifically to encourage the views it harbors. The state it is right now is the result of censorship by white nationalist moderators and coordinated action.

These bridges will be in use for decades, if not centuries.
Or laws that primarily benefit a small number of rich countries, which is also a very common tactic. The latest big group move is to attack smaller nations competing with lower corporate income tax rates with an enforced minimum. The rich nations are trying to strangle their competitors through a globally mandated minimum corporate tax rate, wiping out a very lucrative path to rise (attract investment, businesses, jobs) for underdeveloped or otherwise poorer nations. It worked so extraordinarily well for Ireland they can't tolerate any more outcomes like that from smaller, weaker nations. They're not willing or able to go lower (Germany, France, the US, Japan, Australia, Canada, etc), so they're going to try to make sure nobody else can either.
Any predictions as to what kind of changes to the app this could lead to?

You clearly have something in mind. Speak up.
Indeed. It's a nice branding trick they pulled off by making people think it's free speech, it's not, it's moderated so that the political viewpoints of the moderators are replicated.
Accepting that premise is tantamount to admitting you don't have the judgement to be part of the conversation.
How about to open this exceedly verbose legacy program with IDA and fill with NOPs all the places where this program logs something useless? I mean, this is an activity which really should be named as "hacking", in opposition to playing with init scripts.

This is so hard for everyone involved. Do these images really mean "the building will collapse in 2 days?"

The contractor clearly thought it was "a lot of work" but not to the level of "this building needs to be condemned immediately".

So many articles are screaming "look at that paint chipping and concrete exposure, obviously the building was going to go collapse"

I don't think it's so obvious or am I just naive?
The full theory on how the names are selected is here: https://www.ietf.org/timezones/tzdb-2021a/theory.html#naming

For most zones, it's the largest city in a region where the timekeeping has been the same since 1970. This can cross state or national boundaries.
4chan moderators absolutely care about enforcing an orthodoxy. If your content is not received positively they won't bother, but the moderators do act against content that isn't politically useful to their goals.
This is cool, but clearly laws never really disincentivized bad actors in Mexico. Now I'm just wondering if I can have Fentanyl with my legal Mexican weed?
That's why it's called "climate change"and not " global warming "
This should be the way everywhere. There is no reason for weed to be illegal when tobacco is legal. I don't smoke either but I support legalisation or at the very least decriminalisation. At least that way the countries can get tax money and also help people who need counselling instead of charging them with unnecessary crimes. They did this in the Australian Capital Territory. Hopefully they'll legalise it in most states.
Everyone embracing immutable server configuration would help too. We give so many tools like docker complete trust to touch configuration and do the right thing. Sometimes it bites us though. In a perfect world you'd see docker try to change iptables and it fail, then investigate what's up and understand that a specific change has to be allowed and all the implications of that change.
What's the point of this comparison, though? They're still loud. Cities will still be loud, because of cars, even if everything is electric. Road noise (rushing air, rolling tires) is road noise.

I live ~2000 feet from a highway and the noise is significant, and I'm not talking idiots with straight pipes. It's the constant humming and thrum of the vehicles.
"overpowered" is a relative term.

Overpowered for full-range use in the city at night or while passing on a freeway, or overpowered for enjoyment of a hobby in the intended usage setting. You can be right and wrong at the same time here.

I realize this sounds like a BS "guns don't kill people, people do" argument, but in this case the actual problematic outcomes usually really do boil down to the person operating the vehicle and their level or maturity and respect.
People on this site can try to redefine the first amendment all they like, but never in the history of this country has it meant that we get to say what we want wherever we want. I can get fired for saying something offensive, but I don't moan about totalitarianism or the corporatist state, because that would be stupid. If people want to argue the merits of promoting a wider range of speech on social media, so be it, but please dispense with any comparisons to our first amendment right (which is not affected here).
Haha! Perfect example of the "mouse trap".

Its true, people will grasp at the most emotionally satisfying course of action with only a measured minority stopping to consider the vision, the math, the costs (societal and otherwise) and the sense.

I suspect when those same enraged majority hear "stupid, useless war." (I totally agree by the way) They register it in the same way again: "What?! You want your kids to become drug addicts?"

Congratulation to sense, and congratulations to Mexico.
I've been banned from /pol/ three times for political content the moderators disagreed with.

It's far from entirely uncensored.
Yes, because right now it is effectively Google having a pretext to remove whatever they want, by only selectively overriding moderation.

Just yesterday, a group posting Xinjiang videos was censored from YouTube.[1]

Are their videos going to be reinstated? Unlikely. They will have to try their luck on some obscure platform

Imagine if you had video evidence of human rights abuses (lots of people do), just hope that you can raise enough outrage quickly enough before it gets flagged and removed.

I know that Google and Facebook are private platforms, but that should not excuse them covering for genocidal maniacs.[2]

I'm an author of BLisp.
Thank you for your interest and discussion.

I'm now designing macros, but I cannot spend sufficient time to do.
Anyway, macros will be implemented in the near future.

This language is being implemented for bare-metal or no_std environments in Rust. This is often called shell. I don't want to control OSes or devices by YAML or unsafe scripting languages.
People could just drive to exterior subways or bus stations...
Encapsulation is information hiding, where the internal components of a unit of code are inaccessible to its consumers (by fiat or by convention — see python's _private methods). This includes hiding procedures, fields and types. Context objects are a form of data encapsulation, for instance, because their contents are meant to be inaccessible, and they're not uncommon in C.

I also gave the examples of rust and go, which have private struct fields but are not really object-oriented, and encapsulate at the module level. Point is, OOP does not by any stretch have a monopoly on encapsulation, and OOP should not be defined in terms of it.
I'm a bit confused here about how this was a docker issue. Initially I thought there was some stuff happening with uPnP with a router/gateway of some sort (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Plug_and_Play)

If I run a docker container on my macbook and expose a port over 0.0.0.0 (docker run -d -p 8080:8080 nginx) and it's available on my LAN network, how does it get exposed over the internet? Unless there's a rule in my router/gateway which does the port forwarding, it's not possible.

I wish the author goes into a bit more detail onto how his setup was vulnerable rather than bringing up an old Github Issue.
Not as if it matters as long as the GOP holds out on passing anything related to legalization. What a joke of a party.
> I think of it more as a "I'm just ignoring these, you mine as well stop sending them" request. After all, a man-in-the-middle can already just drop the packets.

Over the more recent years, whenever I'd get sick and experience fever dreams, JavaScript paradigms would be what I'd get lost in i.e. asynchronous calls, callbacks, single-threaded nature, etc.

This comes from someone who enjoys the language, too. Weird stuff...

I use Duolingo to learn Spanish. It's very simple but the streak system has kept me making slow progress. I've only gotten to "Checkpoint 3" (of 7) but it seems to be working well - I don't speak fluent but I can usually read signs etc. in Spanish and actually understand them.

The main issue I can see them facing is: it's very simple, so easy to clone. And Duo has its flaws, so I wouldn't be surprised if of those clones are a lot better. I like Duo, I use it now, but I could switch to another service in 1 second.
That's actually really interesting, I hadn't heard of that.
Because x bad thing is allowed we should also allow y? Ridiculous. I agree it shouldn’t be criminal and having people put into jail over small amounts. But if anything tobacco and alcohol should be restricted too.
Agree that authentication should be table stakes, though I would argue that the actual mistake is that the MongoDB application/docker container was on a host/VM with a network interface on the public internet.
Seems to be basically identical to the bridge in the article, just in a U shape rather than a S.

As noted in a previous discussion [0], the first example contains a typo: the sequence "[3 4 11 11 14 16 22 25]" should be "[3 4 11 11 15 16 22 25]" (not a big deal, but it was enough to make me wonder if I wasn't understanding the algorithm)

I think they're trying to push it to just before the point where people actually consider how useful the content is (not very), or maybe past that point, after which they'll put out some superficial "we're sorry" bs.
