> You frame this like it's some kind of scheme to enthrall Americans, but our government is us.

Well said. The government is the will of the people, to remove the government from all social negotiations leaves the poor, and the middle class unrepresented.

> conservatives who wanted to "unleash the efficiencies of the free market"

"efficiencies of the free market" that are not applied to big corporations, that get the advantages of a social-democracy by being helped during crisis. Corporations are treated with more compassion than fellow citizens. "People is lazy", "Corporations are hard working" is part of the indoctrination.
I have seen whole countries "drop off the internet" for extended periods of time. Sometimes it is political, sometimes it is due to a cable break.

Russia has suggested dropping off the internet:

China has a fairly successful firewall and has recently come out against bitcoin mining.

I can see a country that feels that bitcoin threatens its currency working hard to create a bitcoin firewall. I can also see the firewall being lifted after a change in government.

If the country re-joins and its blockchain is shorter than the current chain, what happens to all the transactions? What happens to the coins that are mined within the country?

I can see where a country could have billions of micro-transactions (e.g. coffee purchases) that happen over a single year.

Is it even worth the processor time to process billions of "penny" transactions?
The accepts_mail test seems flawed; a domain with no MX records can still accept mail (the spec requires an MTA to connect to the IP address in the A/AAAA record of the domain part of the mail address in this case).

All MTAs that I’m aware of support this, and it’s moderately common on personal domains with a single self-hosted MX, rare as those are these days.
We have thrown them off a cliff to assist them in their transition to the next stage of their lives.
I find it quite interesting, actually.

First, I appreciate this emphasis on shapes of the hands, which is not something you see emphasized in modern dance, and also not in any classical Western dances I am aware of. Yet the hands are very dextrous, so why not? In our mind-map they probably take up a lot of space.

Related, I find it enjoyable how some forms that westerners think of as being for "shadow puppets" or children's games have been elevated here to respected parts of an art form. It's great.

And even if some parts are intentionally silly, or humorous -- well, great! Comedy is necessary.

Second, it's an example of a taxonomy or ontology, which is something I have been thinking a lot about these days. Very clearly there is a continuous space of hand poses, but certain discrete points in that space have been selected to convey meaning.

Finally, it's an escape from the current Culture, which I find exhausting. Yes, please do give me thoughts from a time and place where other thoughts were thought.

Like, imagine the mental state that is required to invent this taxonomy. You'll get some of that by thinking about it. It's like a breath of fresh air.

Indeed, every measure that helps decreasing the overall heavy metal burden is welcomed.

One of such is the Minamata convention on Mercury [1].

"Studies also confirmed that neurotoxic metals, including lead, mercury, aluminum, and manganese, are measurably more harmful in combination than separately" [2]

One researcher that has been advocating for the link between mercury toxicity and Alzheimer's is Dr. Boyd Haley [3].

Lastly, here is a cool video showing how Mercury causes neuron degeneration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpC17nfZVvU

That is true, you are right about it not having universal use and restricted to just a couple of platforms.

A digital ID wallet will be good in my opinion but there is a lot that still needs to be worked out to make it inclusive.
You may know of it already and it may not solve all of or any of your problems because I don't have experience with Labview outside of Eng 101 in college, but using something like Flow in elixir may make your experience with pipes less frustrating from the description you gave here. Flow is basically a GenStage backed data processing library that allows you to build out some parallel pipelines with various timings, triggers and stages.
> However, in the words of neurologist David Pérez of Madrid’s Hospital 12 Octubre, thinking that these proteins are responsible for Alzheimer’s is like arriving at the scene of a crime and believing the blood committed murder.

I keep reading so much about the mis-folded proteins that it's easy to forget that's not the target?

But at the same time, I can't help but think that if we stop the mis-folding we stop the problem? Or am I just thinking about it all wrong?
I work for an equally big firm, any big changes planned by IT for the end of the quarter get shutdown ASAP so nowadays IT never plans anything for the end of the quarter. Even the end of a "simple" month is met with worries. I can't believe that in IBM the don't act the same
Maybe they had to do it now after all the delays due to a different deadline ?
Yeah, it's a pretty neat ecosystem. PLCs are kinda like the Legos of automation, incredibly easy to mix and match with a fair number of (insecure) standard protocols.

I briefly toyed with the idea of building out some open source hardware/software but I didn't really seem like there was enough of a userbase to make it viable. Anyone using it professionally wants support and 10+ years of parts, most maker/hobby projects want direct access to code.

Still some pretty neat concepts for putting together highly customized processes with extensible and interchangeable hardware.

I don't understand. If I'm in an abusive relationship or am a whistleblower why would I want to send a read-once message? Why is this better than pastebin? (Which, incidentally has this as an optional feature)
Scientism is an extreme view that has long been considered untenable. My statement about the value of science has nothing to do with scientism. I did not say it is the only thing of value, nor do I think that is true.
You might enjoy the film "The Square": https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4995790/. Hilarious send-up of this BS. Try to avoid reading any spoilers, it'll be much better that way.

While I understand that there has been a long history of Kickstarter projects underdelivering or not delivering at all... I would think the context of a global pandemic causing record resource shortages would allow cutting these guys some slack, yeah?

I mean, if Nvidia and AMD can't get a graphics card into my hands over the course of a year then I can't imagine a super tiny group of engineers would have much luck bootstrapping the supply chain for their brand new product.
I use ladder for Boolean logic but transfer functions and block diagrams and numerical flow is better visualized with function block diagrams. It helps one gain an intuitive understanding of the effect of each term in a transfer function as you watch it operate in a way that structured text doesn’t offer.

I think LRU does NOT work with this trick, because there's no easy way to "move-to-front" in O(1) time.

The article mentions Java's LinkedHashMap, which actually can do LRU. But as the name implies, they rely on a linked list, where move=to-front is natural.

But this superpower does not come for free: a Java-style linked hash map will use more memory than the technique described in the article.
I think the obvious difference is design intent.
I agree - I think we'll realize in our lifetimes that plastics have a lot to do with rises in some of those mental issues alongside the decline in average testosterone levels in males.
Over a decade ago, I had a Acer laptop that literally burnt its own CPU. I never bought from them after that.

How do you even burn a CPU!
If you trust the recipient, but there's a chance that they will be threatened and asked/forced to reveal the message that you sent them, they may appreciate a mechanism that gives them plausible deniability.

Obviously a recipient could make a copy of any disappearing message that they receive if they really wanted to, so you do need to actually trust them. It's less for your security, and more for theirs.

This is a pattern that I have seen happen many times before and what you usually end up with is one area that is The Raging, Unmoderated Shit-Show. Which can end up sprawling outside of the site it lives on and become a base for organizing mass attacks elsewhere. Seem for example, whichever board was decreed the Unmoderated Shit-Show of Something Awful, or whichever one 4channers will tell you was the Unmoderated Shit-Show of that site while insisting the rest of it was perfectly fine and ethical. And since that is the sub-board that mostly interacts with the outside world, this is the one that will come to define your site in the eyes of everyone else: the place that bunch of assholes comes from.

Once you get one of those, if you shut it down, it has a good chance of having someone invested enough in this splinter community to start hosting it somewhere. See for instance LJDrama: kicked off of LJ, it became its own site and kept on being a great place to go if you wanted to join in on piling on top of whoever was today's target.
Yes that’s a great way to put it.
CAN-SPAM regulates "sending electronic mail messages". Connecting to an SMTP server to ask it if an address exists doesn't sound like that to me, but IANAL.
Learning the hard way are we NYT?

Since they don't like anyone who is successful and who wants to have a free conversation with anyone (and made a fortune out of it) whilst somehow hurting some of their feelings, cancelling them is how they cope.

Well the big 'surprise' is that his audience doesn't care and watch on happily, whilst the NYT continue to cope with the show going on. He's $100m+ up and they're still 'hate-watching'.

Good for Joe.
When Micron expanded their fab in Boise, they didn't fill it up right away. They built it much larger than they needed at the moment because building fabs is incredibly expensive, tooling fabs is incredibly expensive, but building one marginally bigger isn't that much more expensive in terms of added construction and maintenance costs.
And the fun part is that hundreds at AT&T knew about that error.

I used to be on an innovation team and we did shadow days with staff in other areas of the company to see what was going wrong. We had these crazy sci-fi type projects going on and our sales reps couldn't get brochures and/or visuals consistently as there was no consistent process to order them. Dozens of other similar problems were reported and zip was done.
it's gotta be something to do with some process we are doing differently, there is so many variables to take into consideration, i know people are super privacy these days but we really could benefit if we allow some of our data to be cross referenced in order to find more connections between what we eat and what medicines we take, it's probably already being done somewhere but think of all the grocery stores that have pharmacies, our eating habits may reflect a deeper health issue, connect that with opt in pharmacy data and possible geographic location we might be able to pin point causation.
1. I assume you're paraphrasing the details because JavaScript doesn't have a `sleep`, do you mean there were setTimeout loops or something?

2. Other than a job security sandbag, I wouldn't be surprised if this was an an even sloppier solution to a sloppy race condition where session token wasn't reliably cached across a distributed system or something. Gross either way.

Definitly pride. Pride in knowing you did the best job you can do, even in, and especially in, cases where you get no recognition and perhaps no one even knows.

Our work ethic is on show not when we only ask "what is in this for me?" It's on show when we do a meaningless task well, when we make a quiet improvement that goes unnoticed - when we don't seek credit for every single action.

If you have personal pride in what you do, and even though much of what you do is not seen, it flows through to what is seen. It manifests in things like being on time for meetings - helping to set up or clean up - being generous giving credit to others, and generous taking blame and admiting to mistakes.

Ironically people quietly notice these character attributes, and they want to work with you. Your stature grows and "fame and fortune" follow. Not because you sought those out but because you didn't.

Pride in yourself also tells you when you are in a toxic environment, and when it's time to move on because all those around you have none.
Similar experiences here. I have [myfirstname]@[mylastname].party as my primary email. In meatspace it’s a curiosity, and people are sometimes incredulous. Online, I’m routinely given some variant of “enter a valid email address.”
My problem is her call for censorship of misinformation.

Currently institutional judgment on misinformation relies on fact checkers, that in best case turn to published research, which is not perfect as you pointed out.

Depending on the zeitgeist in the future she calls for, she may be censored herself.

> Namecheap's retail pricing is not excessive by any means

$12.98 for a .com domain renewal is a 65% upcharge over the $7.85 wholesale rate. That is considerably more expensive than many of Namecheap's competitors.
I think what the comment is about is that the system should be built safer with less security with obscurity but more actual measures. You can (partially) scan people getting onto the plane for bombs etc but it's practically very hard to pinpoint a jamming RF transmitter possibly from kilometers away from ground. Security shouldn't rely on those frequencies being clear.
The library identifies itself to the mail server with a from address of "testing@example.com".

It's probably a good idea to use an email address you own as the from address if you want to use this in production, eg: "testing@mycorp.com", to avoid this grey-listing.

He said he didn't play it for himself or the the other officers. You keep ignoring that fact.

The law says publicly means at a place open to the public or at any place where a substantial number of persons outside of a normal circle of a family and its social acquaintances is gathered.[1]

More radio use infringes than you think. But performing rights organizations can't force their way into work areas not open to the public. Infringement by individuals tends to be transient and anonymous. Suing individuals could provoke a backlash. And courts would be more sympathetic to individuals claiming fair use.

My claim is consistent with the statute. Yours isn't. It's up to you to find case law.

I‘m not fetishizing. There is lots of hard evidence that at least the Swedish model is superior to what eg Central European countries have.

On your site (https://reacher.email) it shows "Open-Source" next to the MIT logo. To any reasonable person, that means "it's licensed under the MIT license". Instead, it's licensed under the AGPL. It would be good if you changed it to remove the implication that it was MIT licensed.
Was it maybe a bodge to avoid a race condition somewhere else? Some kind of timeout to let some other system catch up? I could see waiting for a session to populate in a database or cache on first login. Hopefully it was only for the first login...

Not exactly what I'd call an elegant solution, but it is at least one semi-plausible explanation for a fixed wait.
