I was curious so here's some napkin math

Assumptions:

- moderately busy airport, three Cessna 172s concurrently in the pattern during the day @7gph

- no significant wind

- 7gph3cessnas2glead/gallon=42grams of lead/hr

- The lead sinks as the combustion products are far heavier than the atmosphere.

To reach 0.02ug/m^3 you'd need to dilute it in approximately 1000m x 1000m x 2000m of air which is well beyond the boundaries of a typical airport of this type.

Honestly this seems pretty plausible.

I am curious, as there's a lot of mature software out there that will never be updated to make the jump to IPv6; is there a way to emulate IPv4 traffic over IPv6 to support old software?

I mean, I guess there is with 4in6 and Tunnel Setup Protocol? But I've not seen it done yet in the real world.

I think maybe if some quirky software developer wrote something popular that only worked over IPv6, maybe we'd see a slight uptick.

It's not just technology either, the character back stories get updated too. There's an episode from the 90s where Homer feels old because he doesn't understand grunge rock. Then, more than a decade later, they made a flashback episode where his backstory was updated to show that he basically started grunge, and Kurt Cobain ripped him off.
Small businesses should not be depending on non-living wages to be competitive. If you can’t generate living-wages jobs you don’t really have anything to offer and should at best be a non-profit.
Years ago I realized I was the only person doing software (and original electronic hardware) in a group of 10 people; in addition the larger organization I saw was mostly mechanical engineers.

I imagined the term "programmer in a corner syndrome", to describe, among other things, the realization that one had worked for years and not one person had looked at one line of your code in all that time.

(In fairness, I primarily imagined the term, not so much felt it. I was hired in the first place because they first spent O(1million) on hardware and realized no one there could make it work.)
What I mean specifically is that competitors self driving systems use "HD maps" meaning they store the entire world in 3D and then they localize themselves to that world (at least, this is what Karpathy says competitors do). So those systems cannot navigate any stretch of road they haven't seen.

But with the Tesla, it is learning to drive in general. It does not need an HD map of a fork in the road to understand how to navigate it. Just as a person who learned to drive in California will have little trouble driving in Florida, a neural network that has learned to drive on a million intersections will be pretty good at navigating most intersections. Especially because the corner cases will stand out and become integrated in to training. So it may see many intersections, but it will generally know what to do with one even if it has never seen it before.

Though I would suspect that the competitors are perhaps using HD maps to jumpstart a system that long term would behave more like the Tesla one. Mapping every road is a lot to ask.
I'm impressed, horrified, but impressed.

> Unless that suggestion happens to be on the project's to-do list or it fixes an open bug, I'd say it's unlikely to get merged.

There are lots of open source projects that contradict your assertion. Here are 3 projects that have been quite liberal about accepting PRs from outside.

* MySQL - MySQL AB was very open about accepting external patches. Oracle still does today.

* ClickHouse - Yandex team has the most commits, but accepts PRs from hundreds of outside contributors.

* Superset - Apache project that is supported by Preset. Again, pretty open to new PRs as far as I can tell.

Overall it's a question of how the community is governed. A lot of us view open source communities as sources of innovation. That being the case, why would you refuse a good PR? Somebody just solved a problem for you, maybe one you didn't even know existed.
Grew up watching Arthur every morning before school well into middle school (have a sister who's three years younger). Arthur's family and life was more precisely like mine than any other I ever saw on TV growing up, and for that it will always be special. Standout episodes include the time the Brain sleeps over and Arthur gets mad about how clean and well-mannered he is, then goes to the Brain's house and finds out he's a slob, the lesson being he was just being a good guest, something childhood me took to heart; the Hurl-i-whirl ep; the ep where Arthur hits DW with the swing and gets in trouble (very relevant to my life with a little sister); and of course the seminal "trapped overnight in the library" ep.

It isn't, and you are misparsing the sentence in the article (it is saying the configuration as it was is the default, but describes it through what it's not, which makes the sentence a bit confusing) - look at the linked Microsoft documentation for confirmation.

The naive approach is to look at device ID, but article already talks about copying identification data, and the rest of USB descriptor is trivially copyable as well.

"The unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims" is a definition of terrorism. Death count is irrelevant (outside of spreading fear itself). Zero deaths in a terrorist attack could still be a very effective attack. Spreading something that causes a hideous disease in a city and causing mass hysteria could be an excellent terrorist tactic. Likely better than a bomb that kills a few people.
Agree with everything but with the automation: https://xkcd.com/1319/

That's what I do: LUKS and a (complicated) password needed to decrypt the drive.

Now TFA says it took 30 minutes and that's within the timeframe of an "evil maid attack".

If we take the same 30 minutes, then it's doable to: dupe the SSD and install a physical keylogger between the laptop's keyboard and the laptop's mobo, put back the laptop in place while looking like nothing happened. Then on the next login, when the person enter his password to decrypt the SSD, have the physical keylooger emit (radio?) the password.

Some may say it's science fiction but in TFA in 30 minutes they opened the laptop and hooked an analyzer to the TPM.

I guess what I mean to say is: it's hard to be safe in the face of an evil maid who has 30 minutes of access to your machine.
A few people have died from covid vaccines which sure seems long term to me.

Here is an example of a long term problem caused by a (traditional, non-mrna) vaccine

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/concerns/history/narcoleps...

As far as I know there hasn't been much research into the long term effects of many vaccines. After decades of availability if they were causing issues I hope somebody would have found a connection if they were causing issues. I would very much like to see research into this though.

I do agree mrna vaccines are unlikely to cause long term issues.

Just to be clear. I am very much in favor of vaccines. I just don't like being required to take it so soon after it was created.
Eh, I understand the irony but I feel the show very much surpassed the source material.
My company uses Okta Verify. So when the bad guy tries to connect the hacked laptop to the corporate network VPN, the person who was assigned that laptop gets a "Login attempt, is that you?" message on their cell phone (if the push method is used) or is prompted for the 6-digit code, and it doesn't connect until confirmation is received. Unless someone can defeat it somehow.

Yes, many people have great success with flax seed oil. However, many experience flaking from either improper seasoning, poor quality oil, or simply using too much.

I stick to vegetable oils and shortenings because it's what my grandparents and their parents used. I find that it works well, is cheap ($3/16oz vs $12/8oz), and readily available. I choose crisco because of its shelf life and high smoke point.

Seasoning cast iron with crisco is the same process as flax seed oil, but you don't have to repeat the process as many times and it is forgiving if you use too much. You still should use very little oil and season the pan upside down so any excess oil doesn't pool on the surface.

Finally, I don't care to keep or use lye.

For some reason this criticism reminded me of one of my favorite Heinlein quotes. I set out to google it so that I could reproduce it correctly. I searched for "Heinlein a man should be able to" and was pleasantly surprised to learn that the quote actually begins "a human being should be able to":

> A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

The reach is in how far you're applying it.

> I agree. Hence why I wrote: "To find out-group features to be desirable requires external pressure - media, education, etc.". Government/media/propaganda can easily undo our natural programming. But that doesn't mean that underlying natural programming doesn't exist.

But then you can't say the natural programming is the reason. It's one factor and not one of the bigger factors.

> No. That's exactly how it works.

It's not how it works, and I didn't deny any science.

Do I seriously need to pull out a genetics textbook? If you keep a steady population and have people marry at random, the number of copies of any particular recessive gene will stay the same. Mix up everyone's eye genes and you'll have a billion people with at least one copy of the gene for blue eyes. If two people with one copy have children, about a quarter of them will have blue eyes.

Even if you were making a strawman of ultra-extreme outgroup preference, where couples want to pair brown and blue eyes above all else, you'll still have carriers marrying people with blue eyes and having blue-eyed children. Even if you remove all of those, once you have a single generation of kids that all have one brown gene and one blue gene, they'll mix back up to give you kids with blue eyes.

All major tech companies are part of the state. Frankly, they are too important and useful not to be.

More than anything, this will be used by NSO to sell more services to unsuspecting and naive governments/political actors/orgs around the world. "See, we are neutral. We were even investigated by the Israeli government! How can we be part of the israeli government's spying operation when the israeli government 'raided' us? So you can trust us..".
The idea that this would work is predicated on the notion that people aren't looking for jobs hard enough because they're not worried enough about being homeless and feeding their family; true motivation, then, comes only from putting someone's life on the line.

In reality, this is just a cruelty imposed upon the vulnerable for its own sake, because the people in charge feel that the poor are poor because of some flaw of character, and therefore they are below us and deserve to suffer.

It's the government benefits equivalent of hitting a kid with a ruler because they got a question wrong and expecting them to get the question right next time.
I can't tell if things are really that bad at Blizzard, or if the people working there are just hyper sensitive and looking for ways to put the activist in Activision. It'd be interesting to know what percentage of the employees participated.

Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) and Biologics License Application (BLA) description: https://blog.petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2021/06/15/whats-the....

There are already lawsuits challenging EUA vaccine mandates. They’d be moot, though, after FDA approval, since the Supreme Court has upheld states’ vaccination mandates (cf. Jacobson v. Massachusetts)

Some issues around BLA/FDA approval:
First, a BLA has some implications. It would likely force the FDA to revoke EUAs to all other candidates (one of the conditions for an EUA is that no other viable approved treatments exist. Some of the controversy around ivermectin and off label use is related to this condition). This would impede development of other treatments, current and future.

Second, the history of SARS-cov vaccines is promising, but incomplete. Many previous trials showed good progress (high antibody titre levels, etc.), but tended to fare poorly on later virus challenges. eg
https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...

Third, sometimes, side effects might not be sufficiently analyzed until well after authorization, eg “Dengvaxia”: a dengue fever (R0=65, CFR=20-30%) vaccine that was extensively used in the Philippines in 2017-8, but later showed evidence of increasing risk of disease severity on the uninfected and now carries that warning: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6214489/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dengue_vaccine

Hayes et al. outlines some of the issues particular to SARS. Again, VAED is a known pitfall:
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/wp-content/uploads/Haynes...

Finally, Breslow (https://blog.petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2021/02/18/employer-...) suggests mandates aren’t legal: previous CDC and FDA guidance have consistently advised against mandatory use of EUA vaccines, and courts would probably continue to defer to those agencies.
In April 2020, Dr. Amanda Cohn, the executive secretary of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, reiterated that “under an EUA, vaccines are not allowed to be mandatory. Therefore, early in the vaccination phase individuals will have to be consented and cannot be mandated to be vaccinated” (page 56, https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/meetings/downloads/min-arc...)
In addition, the EEOC June 28, 2021 update (https://www.eeoc.gov/wysk/what-you-should-know-about-covid-1...), Section K in particular, defers to CDC and FDA guidance on EUA vaccine use and practices.
Eh, depends on what you’re optimizing for. For fixing the bug as quickly as possible, yes. For spreading that context throughout the team or getting other features out that the person with context is best equipped to ship, no.
