Here's how they handled the exposure vs. control group:

Mice in the CO2-exposed group were housed within a semi-sealed, custom-made 393-L exposure chamber... the exposure chamber was also fitted with two 80-mm fans that ran continuously... Mice in the control group were housed in the same type of cages in the same room, but not within the exposure chamber.

So the exposure group were in a semi-sealed chamber where other toxins might have accumulated, and were subjected to continuous fan noise. Whereas the control group were not in a chamber and were not subjected to fan noise.

I don't think one can draw any valid conclusions from this experiment. They should have put both groups in the same type of chamber, both with fans, but just not introduced CO2 into the chamber for the control group.

Developing a bunch of enormous single-family homes in hillside slide zones is just about the only thing that is legal by-right in all East Bay cities. That's the sick joke!

That would be more than the number actually branded as Coop which is 665 [1] so yeah that'd be all of them plus some of their acquisitions like the 165 Nettos [2]. Sweden is a country of only 10 million by the way.

The first piece of information I'm interested in is: What non-trivial thing did they make with it? Many frameworks look cute as a TODO app, but that doesn't mean they won't scale into Cthulhu.
Guess we have to turn human evolution back on. Could this be the cause of the childless dystopia we see in books and movies?
Cars are bad. Walk, bike and take public transport --- aka learn from the large cities that already exist.

If we presume everyone drives, then all the de-zoning and other measures will never succeed, and e.g. SF is already at max density. If we believe we can make car usage go down, our current streets will be good enough for 10x growth.

> Most of what we do, including writing code, is not rational.

Wow. I knew I was pulling on an ugly root when I started writing against the inclusivity dogma, but this is a little more than I was expecting to unearth.

Humans do not need formal proofs for things they do to be considered rational. Full stop.

> You can't run around asking insensitive rude questions in an insanely important/sensitive situation and expect to get cooperation!

I mean... you did just say the majority of what I did is irrational :'D But. To say that kindness does not factor into NTSB investigations does not mean that the alternative is insensitivity and rudeness.
The answer is reflected in what ultimately happened in Bezos’ own personal life. He talks about work-life being a “circle,” but his divorce introduced a gap in his own. If such thinking didn’t work for the world’s richest man, why would the common folk think the same attitude can work for them?
This makes a point for separating the semantics of (a) control flow (a premature exit, similar to break in a loop) and (b) assigning return values.

However, JavaScript actually started with rather quirky semantics for return: if any exit returned a value, all exits had to return a value, otherwise an error was thrown. Yet another effect of the nexus of control flow and assignment of a return value. (This got fixed with the introduction of the return object as workaround, which was, I think, in ECMA-Script 3.)
Yeah, I'd come into the office with tremendous energy too if I were worth almost 200 billion dollars and my job didn't require any physical labor whatsoever. I bet when you can outspend the GDP of entire countries and make cities compete for the privilege of making you even richer at their expense, your work life balance is pretty awesome.
1) Assange did not say that. You misinterpret what he said.
2) Your contrived absolutism about publishing everything is a strawman. Wikileaks never committed to publishing everything, couldn’t, not even a sensible or practical idea.
3) Literally any reason at all invalidates this claim. Not enough time. Someone asked not to. Boring. Hard to contextualize. Literally anything.

The Free Press is about the ability to publish, not a requirement to publish.

“We are free press activists. It’s not about saving the whales. It’s about giving people the information they need to support whaling or not support whaling. Why? That is the raw ingredients necessary to make adjustments to society and without that we’re just sailing in the dark.”
We know that the NSA has generally stayed some years, perhaps a decade or two, ahead of public knowledge. Why not other agencies? Granted, physical objects and manufacturing are harder to keep under wraps than papers and bytes.

It seems to me that the situation, rather than being either "sensor glitches" or extremely advanced tech, could be a combination. Tech that's a few years ahead, observed under poor conditions.
Food for thought... Obama literally ran on a platform of transparency and whistleblower protection. What did he actually do in office? The exact opposite.

I reject your framing entirely. Not dealing with climate change is the more expensive option.

This is the same absurd tactic that is used against some kind of sane medical system. "It'll cost 10 Billion" say the headlines. We can't afford that say the pundits. The report says, continuing on with the status quo will cost 12 Billion, but somehow we can afford that?

there was a road crew cutting up pavement in front of my house & I went out to chat. 5g is coming to the street pole outside.

guess what's not coming to it? fiber. the cell will just have power, just be a repeater.

it's distressing to me that we're chopping up this city & have an exclusive huge 5g provider rolling out really expensive hardware, and a large-ish % of those radios haven't even been afforded their own net connection. most of my neighbors have fiber but the cellular system itself is in sizable part repeaters? this feels like a scalability problem in the making, feels like a way to foolishly recreate bandwidth scarcity on the airwaves.
If the probability that the cost of (land + permits (politics) + labor + supplies) will be more than the projected sale price is sufficiently high, then it can cause a decrease in construction.

But that is irrelevant to the fact that more supply of a good relative to demand will not cause prices to rise. This might not be easily evident over 1 year, but on a longer timescale, if supply and demand is not behaving as expected, then there will be arbitrage that someone will likely take advantage of.

It is possible that the high price of land in a highly desirable area is something there is a lot of demand for itself. The only way to bring prices of individual dwelling units down in this case is to build more dense housing, and that involves a lot of politics.
In Boston and surrounding areas the “triple decker” is very common - three 1000 square foot condos, driveway leading to compact car parking in back, small yard or none at all. The buildings are not connected but the space between is the driveway on one side and a small path on the other to store trash cans. There are tens of thousands of these if not hundreds of thousands.
The title as written is clickbait, and false. Only the central district saw that increase, not “San Francisco,” and it was because there was a sharp drop from 2019 due to lockdown.

Citywide car burglaries are actually down even from the much lower 2020 numbers despite easing of restrictions. From the article:

“Citywide, however, the number of thefts from cars remains lower compared with last year, when shelter-in-place restrictions pushed car break-ins to record lows.”
common sense is not a strategy
I have similar opinions on these topics as many that were out there, which is to say, not at all what others may assume or want us to think, nor what may be in our best interest to share.
Playing the devils' advocate, is the key to affordable housing to allow neighborhoods, builders etc. to exclude by race?

Folks might not be able to choose where they live, but at least they will get cheap housing? Is that a fair trade?
That's actually not true, at least if your definition of "Javascript semantics" isn't extremely broad.

This was the case with CoffeeScript. But the examples I gave either work with Webassembly (Grain, Bolero), providing their own runtime, or do some work to hide Javascript's data model to a large degree (F#, Purescript, ClojureScript).

What stays the same is that you are dealing with the DOM, User events occurring there and a metric sh*t ton of asynchronous APIs.
Treat it as "card not present". Write down the card number, expiration, cvv, name, and zip or equivalent. Get a signature and process it later. If you can't process it later, your system design is flawed.

Even if the population went down dramatically, we should should still stay dense. Density is good. Mutual defense did jump-start density before, let's hope something other than violence can cause it this time.

I wonder what headlines like this read like in other languages. I wonder what other words might work in English too!
Ah. Classic lying with data. Cherry pick an outlier and imply a general pattern. This is absolutely shameful journalism.

* 2020 was clearly a minimum outlier because of the pandemic.

* Citywide, May is down 10% from 2019.

* Central District, is up from both 2019 and 2020.

* This is a single month. Why not include April and June (months during the pandemic in 2020 and 2021).

* Why has the author not also included the other districts? Is it because they paint a different story? That they're also down?

The author clearly decided on a narrative, then cherry picked only the data that supported the narrative.
Would be relatively inexpensive to scrub CO2 in indoor spaces (in developed countries), with NaOH for instance [0]. (I wonder why this wouldn't already be a thing: normal indoor CO2 [1] is in the same range as the global CO2 in the OP mouse paper. Indoor air pollution is underappreciated).

[0] see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide_scrubber (The amine methods wouldn't be a good idea, because the smell is reportedly extremely vile. It's what nuclear submarines' life support uses -- I forgot the link but there was interesting article about this).

I think you're underestimating how little we use cash. There aren't even ATMs in some parts of town and there are plenty of villages without one for tens of miles. Nobody uses cash anymore. It's all either debit cards or direct transfers (either via and app or the bank.)

> “probably do represent physical objects”

I simply do not believe this. I'm happy to believe the one case of a balloon was true, I believe there could be a few other cases like plastic bags.

But it's almost always optical illusions with stars and man made lights.

There's no other secret aircraft, there's mostly no X-Files 'weather balloons', there's no St. Elmo's fire or drones. It's stars and satellites and ship lights and far away aircraft lights and house lights and car lights.

We will have to see if they release the data claiming they have 'multiple' sources confirming physical objects. If you want to 'believe' the government they are 'physical objects' I guess that is more fun.

I thought the same thing then I saw how people freaked out over COVID and it gave me some hope. I thought masks would never catch on as much as they did. So perhaps there’s room for manipulating people into effective action if we can find the right triggers.
New Guinea is an island, definitively not a river but the sea is rich in resources; kinda of a different regime. For Mexico, I thought they had lots of water (assuming you mean Tenochtitlan). The city was literally floating in water.

> Wouldn't it be cooler to understand the architecture, upgrade it and put it on an FPGA?

Personally, I would refrain from "upgrading", but instead faithfully recreate the digital circuits (simply on an FPGA instead of discrete logic), as it was apparently done in the referenced project. It's the same intention as when (re-)implementing Babagge's machines. If it's just to do Lisp programming on a modern machine, everything is already there.
Spamming them with fake info, is already a good idea, but that kind of spam is alsoa good occasion to check whether scammers know how to sanitize their database inputs
I mean being mainstream helps. More blogs, more Stackoverflow answers, more battle tested libraries. A Java or Python business are 100% positive they will find devs 20 years from now and the ecosystem won't die. Php, Go, Ruby? Lets say 80% sure. With Elixir its very hard to say what's going to happen. Its quite possible it will go the way of Perl eventually. I don't know what F# or Ocaml are good for but if you are starting a business you need a pretty compelling reason to use those instead of something mainstream.
Being mainstream helps a lot I wouldn't underestimate it.
Maybe using Windows + associated ecosystem for critical, embedded and control systems isn't and has never been a particularly stellar idea.
Come build a cool JavaScript 1k Demo themed “creature” to win (JS1024)
One thing I find interesting is if the stated probability is correct, e.g 1:50,000, then the probability of having a heart condition as the result of an mRNA vaccine is statistically much greater than winning any of the Vaccine Lotteries.

I wonder if anyone has considered the ethical implications of the gamification of vaccination in light of this, and if governments should be held responsible if someone took the vaccine to win a lottery but instead wound up injured.

False. It’s not that hard to fool yourself into thinking that you will be able to navigate the societal disruption that will be caused by climate change, especially if you have money. If you have the resources you can move north, pay more for food, hide behind the security services. But no one wants to imagine living inside a literal bubble or seeing their grandkids crippled by CO2 poisoning. Escaping the heat and its effects is one thing—it’s entirely a different thing to have to escape the atmosphere.

But then you are forced to use Javascript on the server side instead of whatever language you are already using. That seems to be a pretty good reason for using Vue as a tool for "progressive enhancement" to me.

> Business and government rely highly on NDAs to do business.

And there's no reason for this other than to preserve power in the hands of the powerful. The sole purpose of the NDA is to limit the rights of the party with less capital and create unnatural advantages to the holders of capital. They eventually cause great social harm, and society ultimately pays the price cleaning up the mess. How many hundreds of billions of dollars in security costs does our society keep having to pay because of Microsoft and Intels reliance on NDAs and copyrights which led to building much of the digital world on shaky foundations. Like technical debt, there is "secrecy debt". Too much leads to catastrophe. People should have the right privacy and to keep secrets. But our collective government should not be in the business of subsidizing that.

I deeply resent the constant conflation of ethnic minorities and problems that afflict people who are impoverished.

Here in the United States a plurality of the people who live below the poverty line are white. And numerous ethnic minorities earn far more on average than the white ethnic majority.

If the article simply stated that impoverished people are far more likely to suffer sleep deficit, and then went on to point out that certain ethnic minorities are disproportionately impoverished, it would accomplish its mission, without ignoring subtlety and reality.

Instead it's written in the typical clickbait fashion to attract the large swath of people who think their destiny is dictated by their ethnicity. As if there's some squad of bigots out there purposely waking up people of color.
With uses segregated, the "reasonable" argument does not make sense to me: infrastructure will have to be maximized because there will be big migrations of people based on normal use times like going to work. You need twice as much parking, twice as much freeway throughput.

The whole point of gzip was to make the patented "compress" algorithm obsolete and you can't make an algorithm obsolete unless you beat it in both time and space.

Most of the gzip competitors beat it in time (LZ4) or space (LZMA or Bzip) but zstd's aim was always to replace gzip by not extending the time-space tradeoff curve but rather moving the whole curve.
VPRI
My experience is the same. As a young engineer I got things to work on time and with minimal issues. My reward for being good at my job is to be loaded up with work from my boss and by my peers and even by those who were outside of my team. When I refused because I said I have my priorities. I was called out for not being a team player. I once even had a come to Jesus meeting by someone who was not my boss for refusing to work on his emergency ticket. This tech lead who was on another team was later forced to apologize to me.

Essentially there are two classes of people. Those who want to master their craft and develop their skills. And those who think their job is boss around others and that other people exist to make their life easier. I have noticed this sense of entitlement is especially common among younger engineers who think I owe it to them to mentor them. Hmm. I don’t owe you anything.
