Natural gas is basically methane, which is around 16g/mol. 1mol of gas at STP is 22.4L, so 66g of methane is around 90L.

A typical gas range has a flow rate of a few cubic meters per hour, or a few liters per minute. So just to get 66g of unburnt gas released, you'd need to leave a burner un-ignited for most of an hour, or considerably longer if it was burning.
What happens when the US government's whole case against Assange collapses? Presumably they will find another unreliable witness to lie for them?

It's incredibly worrying that this he has been trapped in this situation for so many years, with the prosecution seemingly having the upper hand despite supporting their case with lies.
That’s exactly the language my teenager uses when emotional. There is a world of difference between listening and agreement.
I joined the Rack in 2013 as my first professional role. It was a place full of ambition with a bright future. Looking back, the unfortunate leave of the charismatic leader Lanham was the beginning of the end from my perspective.

There was such a large plethora of projects to work on and lots of freedom to go out and build what we thought would be the next big thing. From new simple website hosting to baremetal power9 machines there was no lack of interesting projects. In my 3 years at the company I saw employee sentiment plummet, as I left before the first large layoff in early 2017.

I met so many wonderful people there that I try and keep in touch with, it was such a bittersweet experience. My outlook on Rackspace now is very bleak.
Running, done properly, builds muscle, joint, and bone strength (it seems you are implying that it doesn't). Of course, there is plenty wrong in the world of casual running where runners try to rack up mileage without ever looking at pace or their running form. Serious runners won't disagree with you there.

But the same dynamic exists in other sports, including weightlifting. Plenty of causal weight lifters focus on the weight they are pushing exclusively and never consider their bodyfat, go on "dirty bulks" or permanently injure themselves with poor form or pushing it too far (also see CrossFit).

For most people, having a couple of different and reasonably different physical activities, and sticking to them, is going to be enough. The most important thing is that people actually use their bodies into old age. Exercise isn't the rocket science people make it out to be.
The AlphaFold2 Method Paper: A Fount of Good Ideas
In general, cellular technologies have been designed against assumptions of a clean (or at least exclusively used) RF channel. 4G and 5G are deployed with frequency reuse between base stations, which implement the same standard and can coordinate their emissions and scheduling of clients (both in time and frequency) to minimise interference.

WiFi is a whole different kettle of fish - it's designed to be used by multiple independent access point operators simultaneously, with the ability to change frequency if needed based on the interference observed. It's designed to try to deliver good performance by listening before transmitting etc, to avoid transmitting over another device, to avoid a tragedy of the commons scenario where selfish devices end up rendering WiFi unusable for everyone (including themselves), through refusing to yield time to devices transmitting on other networks.

NR-U and LAA etc don't generally play according to the same rules, as they're standards arising from the world of exclusive spectrum access, and coordination of base stations by one operator - in the world of cellular, the base stations allocate uplink channels for their clients. That doesn't work in WiFi with multiple networks in the same approximate location, hence they need to try to prevent interference and cross-talk.
The article cites research that shows that the percentage of Americans with 10+ close friends have dropped from 33 to 13 percent since 1990. I wonder how much of that can be attributed to a change is what is considered a close friend? Just keeping in touch with other people used to be much more difficult and I wonder if the proliferation of cell phones and then smartphones has raised the bar. I wonder if friendship changed from just needing to keep in touch to having to directly support each other's emotional needs.

Personally, I can't imagine having that many close friends (and how many more non-close friends do you have?). To me it seems like it would require an almost obsessive level of effort to maintain, like to the extent that it's basically the only thing you do outside of work. Which I suppose would have been easier without the internet to distract you, but still.
Care to elaborate on how Amit ran things differently?
So what ingenious method should they have deployed to prevent all programming errors beforehand, and how should they have handled it? Advice users to fall-back to non E2EE SMS?

The team deployed logging as fast as they could, successfully detected the issue as soon as it happened again, and deployed fix as fast as possible. What should they have done?

If you only recommend chat apps with perfect track record, you're basically recommending chat apps with internal policy of not disclosing vulnerabilities, and ones that downplay any revealed vulnerabilities.
The Agile Manifesto never came out and said so, but it only ever made any sense if you give up the idea of a fixed delivery date. Of course, the idea of a fixed delivery date for a software project never made sense in the first place, but you’ll have to pry that nonsense from their cold dead hands. Big-A “Agile” is an attempt to keep what they (think they) want… so it ends up being useless.
Assange will die in prison. it's ridiculous that he is still in prison waiting for US to appeal. the previous trial was in his favor but he is still in prison awaiting the US gov to appeal. it's like the US typed in cheat codes.
I don’t think that’s the whole picture. Free trade has virtually no defenders now and deficit hawks few and far between, especially when their party is in power. Even a strong dollar and low inflation don’t have many defenders anymore. Basically the American public have given up on free market economics and are now squabbling over the best way to manipulate it.

As far as I can tell, San Francisco doesn't seem to believe this. San Francisco does seem to collectively believe that adding housing is an abomination to avoided at all costs and that helping the homeless is a moral imperative.
pubsub would also be misleading, given SQS does not support the pub/sub pattern. It's a queue where each message is processed once by a single consumer; it's not a pub/sub system where multiple consumers can subscribe to messages of interest.
I think Microsoft has Linux envy these days because the file system layer in NT is horrifically slow because it runs every request through a complex permissions checking mechanism.

They never noticed a problem until WSL came along and some users were not happy with it because they did things (build the Linux kernel) that do an outrageous number of fs requests. Thus the beautiful WSL which shows off the brilliance of NT gets replaced by ugly WSL2 a virtualization layer which just adds (buggy!) tight couplings you could avoid just installing your favorite Linux in hyper-V!
Given that each has its own name, and the names look and sound different, maybe it's safe to assume no one is going to confuse the two.

Is there such a thing as a "DangerOS device", or are there devices that can or cannot run "DangerOS" (e.g., NetBSD plus proprietary software). The official slogan of the open source project is "Of course it runs NetBSD!" not "Of course it is a NetBSD device."

Anything said about an OS does not necessarily have anything to do with the device it runs on. Nor does anything said about a device necessarily have anything to do the OS being run on it. That's why we can have OS that run on a variety of devices (e.g., NetBSD, Linux, etc.), as well as devices on which we can boot a variety of OS (e.g., RPi, Pinephone).

Unfortunately this important distinction is carefully omitted from tech company marketing, ignored by sycophant tech bloggers, tech journalists and everyone who follows and subscribes to their brand of anti-competitive "innovation". Hopefully more hardware like RPi and Pinephone can change some people's thinking and allow them to see the possibilities that are constantly being suppressed in the "war on general purpose computing".
So we're presented with one design philosophy and one design Gabriel admits is a strawman. This was written before steelmanning was common and he was open about it, so the strawman is forgivable.

"Steelmanning" is just a new term for the principle of charity, which has been around for centuries. Engineers didn't invent informal logic, and they don't get a pass for ignoring it.

I go to bed now and dream of a universe in which NullPrefix is Ross and continues to argue endlessly.
The phrases that the study treats as overgeneralizing are:

all of the time, all of them, all the time, always happens, always like, happens every time, completely, no one ever,
nobody ever, every single one of them, every single one of you, I always, you always, he always, she always, they
always, I am always, you are always, he is always, she is always, they are always

It's not always overgeneralizing to use one of these. "Every single one of them wore black" is (potentially) completely factual. A large increase in their use in books, however suggests that authors are overgeneralizing more than they did previously.

Curiously, every single soviet sports athlete who ever competed on any international event was considered an amateur, while in fact being a full time professional devoted to his sport.

Usually they were officially 'working' at some factory, but were members of a sports club and received a substantial stipend, never doing any work but training and competing. This practice still lives in Russia. The income of any Olympics team russian athlete is estimated to be no less than 5-7k USD, generally coming in the form of several grants and stipends.
I've been considering Nix anyway. Good point.
It sounds to me like NullPrefix accepted the hypothetical bug, for the sake of the argument, and then addressed the rarity assumptions made about that bug. "For the sake of argument" doesn't mean "No debating" it means "Let's assume some thing x is taken as a given and go from there."
> My Sifu

This is itself an example of "art imitating art" as per upthread. English speakers use the word "sifu" as part of its own independent cultural tradition. They use it even in contexts where it makes no sense, surrounded by Mandarin references - notably in Kung Fu Panda and less notably here: http://gowdb.com/troops/6582 - because they are sure it's "Chinese".

But if you learned the word by studying Chinese you'd spell it shifu. The English word comes from exposure to southerners who make no distinction between "s" and "sh". But distinguishing those two sounds is not a problem for English speakers.
Hmmm, maybe it could be called something like "syllogistic materialism?"

It's a predictable badness that these "revelations" are specific sentiments about what follows, aka "the nouns" (more or less). "Still feels X," "I am a Y," "everyone thinks Z," all require that X, Y, and Z all have fixed meanings.
Why do the number of front end devs exceed the back end? Does anyone else see a problem here? Front end effort has always been a fraction of back end effort on the systems I've developed. If that's not the case, I can only hypothesize it's because front end toolchains have gotten overly complex for what they accomplish. Not only that, but I would posit that for most SaaS ventures, the back end is where the differentiation and value is delivered, so that is where the bulk of dev resources should be deployed.
German press stays silent on this, again. Even magazines known for investigative stories just don't mention Assange in the context of the recent developments ([1], [2], [3]). This is so frustrating.

You seem to be conflating "boom town" and "large city". NYC is not a boom town.
Note that AssemblyScript rides on TypeScript language syntax. How would

```
let foo: string = "whatever"
```

be able to work in any similar sense as TS/JS if? How can that map to multiple string types? The idea is both AS and TS use the same syntax for strings, and are compatible across boundaries (TS for JS side, AS for Wasm side). Having multiple string types is possible, but this would greatly reduce developer ergonomics.

> Edit: Anyone downvoting this also simply doesn't understand how serious this privacy leak really is. Shame on you too.

Wouldn't showing a warning suggesting not to post sensitive images while the bug is being investigated be better than straight up shutting down the service while solving the privacy issue?

Wouldn't closing the service have made people leave for other (probably worse) services, the one relying on privacy, privacy-minded people and "regular users" alike, and have worse consequences for privacy than this bug?

152a is another cheap alternative, and can even be bought without any license, at least in the US - it's the gas in "gas dusters".

While 134a operates at a higher pressure than 12, 152a is a close match and works well as a replacement for old R12 systems.
Yes, but WebAssembly operates at the boundary with JS, and that is not UTF-8. JS uses WTF-16 at runtime, and if WebAssembly did too then this would make interop between Wasm and JS a first-class feature with maximal performance and without security and data integrity issues.
I think what I'm trying to get at is that incorrectly believing you have access to a secure messenger can be worse than acting as if you don't, if those are your options. The whistleblower might choose not to make contact, but if the alternative is making contact and immediately going to prison (because someone else on your contact list saw a classified screenshot from you and told the authorities), maybe that's better. The activists might choose not to protest, but if the alternative is being caught before they even start their protest (because your group was forwarding a little advertisement image or annotated map around among trusted people, and someone untrusted got it), maybe that's better.

Take Reality Winner, for instance (the mechanics of that case were entirely unrelated to secure messengers, but it makes a relevant example overall). The effect on the world of her whistleblowing seems to have been minimal, and the cost to her was significant. Was it worthwhile? If she had been told the risks of the government identifying her were higher and decided not to leak anything, wouldn't that have been a better outcome?

I'm not saying there's perfect security. Vulnerable users absolutely need to be making risk assessments and deciding what they're comfortable with, and we should be clear nothing is risk-free. I'm just saying my sense of Signal's risk, in absolute terms, is higher than it was before I learned about this, and that matters to vulnerable users, not just the fact that it probably remains the lowest-risk messenger of the various options.

I agree with you overall, and the Pegasus exploit does reflect badly on Apple (and probably should reflect more badly on them than seems to be happening).

Excuse us, she never was an virtually unknown amateur. 2017 she got a professional contract from a Belgian team, but refused to cycle on their "stupid" rules. She rather went by her own rules, without a team and didn't need the money. 2018 she was 5th in the European time trials. She constantly rode, but not so much on professional UCI events, but also on many amateur marathon events. Which she thought were harder and better. She was official Austrian champion afterall.

The peloton just missed her, due to complete lack of communication amongst the disfunctional leading dutch team. There were many dutch and other coaches on the street with cellphones, but they didn't try to catch her, so she was lucky. A properly organized peloton would have caught her easily. You could see with your own eyes how disorganized the peloton was. Extremely interesting case for social studies.

Never was invited, but for some reason the app was heavily promoted in germany for a time.
For some period of weeks during the pandemic, all kinds of already well-known public figures were announcing moderated clubhouse discussions.

That made the app feel like a platform for audio-only panel discussions or TED talks. Interesting, but even if someone had invited me, it would have never occurred to me to create a room myself or interact anymore than you'd interact with the panelists at a conference.
> It's a little bit more than that: cryptographic container formats usually need to be stable on traversal/canonicalized so that things like hashes remain consistent.

Yeah, this, too: there's got to be a single way of representing the same message. (BER, in contrast to DER, has multiple means of writing the same message. BOOLEAN types, for example, indicate FALSE by 0x00, but TRUE is any non-zero value. I forget how DER resolves this. DER disallows the use of indefinite lengths, while BER admits both definite and indefinite lengths. Etc., etc.)

I'm sympathetic to the challenges people face with ASN.1, having worked with it rather extensively in my career. I don't recommend it to people who have serialization challenges usually because something like protobuf or flatbuffers seems like a more reasonable choice in this day and age...but at the same time ASN.1 has a history of mistakes and innovations for solving some challenging problems in representation and encoding that should inform decision-making moving forward.

I’m under the impression that there were no “plate tectonics” at the time of impact (surface was still nearly molten), and if there were (surface had actually crustified), plates were quickly melted by massive amounts of energy from the collision.

Well, that's the thing about morphological taxonomy, yeah - it's possible to construct any number of axes of distinction, none of which is really guaranteed to correspond to anything in terms of descent or relatedness. That said, wing posture is imo a better intuition than mine, not least in that you actually can most easily tell dragonflies from damselflies by eye this way - the former hold their wings spread laterally at rest, while the latter fold them along their abdomen. I'm sure there are exceptions in both families, but as a general field rule it does work.

Looking at sources, the current state of play appears to be that butterflies are (mostly) (sorta) monophyletic in Papilionoidea, and moths are paraphyletic in "Lepidoptera except Papilionoidea", but it's all rather messy and nobody's all that sure.

This isn't as unusual as it might sound, actually. You see much the same in Hymenoptera, for example - large insect families just aren't all that comprehensively studied in the first place, not least because many of their members can be quite hard to find, and what prior taxonomic work there was has been undergoing pretty radical revision since the advent of (relatively) inexpensive genomics and the consequent feasibility of molecular taxonomy.
I don't have a problem with this. If I am trying to figure out how to do something, I'd rather the help be focused on the thing, and not confuse my by adding the mysqli_real_escape_string stuff. Yes, I know about little bobby tables and all that. Same with trying to see an example of a php form. I don't need the csrftoken, I already know to do that. Yes, it might help a novice, but don't make everything more complicated just for beginners benefit
The whole point was that "given this assumed rare bug, one can know it's pretty rare". Whether the example is actually rare enough is completely beside the point. If it's not rare enough for you, replace it. The argument comes next: given a rare bug, a developer can make an assumption of how rare it is. Debating the example of rareness is splitting hairs.
