PBS educational programming is also a product of the unique American political system. In short, classroom education was entirely controlled by individual states. Any new federal law/program in the education space is therefore easiest though different media. So the creation of a "public" broadcaster works, as opposed to any in-the-classroom federal program which would face constitutional challenge.

> YouTuber / archaeologist Stefan Milo made this pretty comprehensively damming rebuttal video to Hancock's so called "Theories" that does a far better job explaining the specifics...

I just finished watching the video and unfortunately I don't buy it at all. Now Graham Hancock is clearly peddling some hard-to-believe theories, but this rebuttal video doesn't do much to refute him.

He takes the weakest possible interpretation of Graham's work and asks "where is the evidenc?" in multiple ways.

I think the same rebuttal would be stronger if he addressed why the track record of archeologists so far have been very credible and that they have a history of testing out falsifiable theories by looking for negative results. For example "we don't expect to find any evidence for human activity below this depth in this region - and look, we didn't find anything".

Graham's argument rests heavily on archeologists not doing a good job and the easiest way to dismiss him is to show otherwise. This is easy to do with Physicists looking for particles that would poke holes into the standard model for example.

I'd love to see a solid rebuttal for Hancock's theories that doesn't rest upon "consensus among archeologists" without showing why the same archeologists are credible.
Measles, polio, and smallpox beg to differ. The varicella vaccine is fairly new, but I haven’t heard of a vaccine-resistant strain evolving. Pertussis seems to be an odd duck, and its vaccine is not as effective as people would like.

History is mixed here, but most of the mandatory vaccines seem to be extremely effective and to work well for at least decades.
Keep in mind gold is a lot denser, so it'd be a miniature engine if you made it out of pure gold. If you take the volumetric space of all the materials that might lead to a different answer, but that's hard to do. (I guess you could make it out of gold foam.)
FB runs bots over the platform to detect these accounts. Since they have everyone's contact list, they can just check your friends list and see if you appear in their contact lists. If not, they will lock you out and require you to send a photo of your ID.

And even if they have not yet, they can at any time and all of your games and hardware get locked which is permitted in their ToS. Why would you want to take this risk when the alternative platforms do not have real identity rules.
I would recommend using Rootless Docker over this cheat sheet. It makes half the issues they are trying to work around redundant. It also solves the issue with Docker punching a hole through UFW..

https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/rootless/
I'm not sure if it's inevitable given how crucial the spike protein is and how strongly it is being conserved. Even with the Delta variant, which is much more infectious and contagious, the vaccines are only modestly less effective and still highly effective at preventing severe illness and death.
It doesn't help with that. It sabotages the current path of political correctness and "trust the medical establishment" that built the tools and got played by a totalitarian government (potentially).

Covid is the least of the worries in this world. Only by saying No and standing up for what is right will the future be viable.

If no one stands up to China, and the scientific community takes credit for saving us from a disease they are responsible for creating, we will repeat this. And maybe worse next time.

This is the only pushback I get. I'm not anti-vax. I'm anti-cover up, anti-authoritarian, anti-CCP, anti-big government, anti-censcorship. I refuse to be played, and I won't let my health or my emotions get in the way.
That was literally the only way I got help after someone somehow managed to registered one of my email address under a Facebook account I don't control and tried to impersonate me. I don't even know how that was possible since FB does email verification. I tried the normal help system but got nowhere so I reached out to my friends who work at FB. One of them used the internal help system it was resolved within a couple of days. A mutual friend of ours joked that I was really using my "tech privileges" and he was absolutely right. I would have had to deal with a FB account pretending to be me for a while if not for the fact that I live in Silicon Vally and have a lot of friends who work for FB. It really shouldn't have been how that matter was resolved.
Window functions can help here. You can try a self-join with MySQL (and it won't do a hash join because it doesn't have it; it didn't have hash joins at all before 8.10 and it still doesn't have hash outer joins, and what you want to eliminate the older rows is an anti-join, i.e. asserting null on a left join) but honestly you're better off sorting by timestamp and using a manual window when processing the results.
Property-based testing is not the same as partition testing
Yes! This is a great approach, and I'd be happy to see more examples like this in the wild. This is similar to the same way Phoenix PubSub works, with the PubSub application starting a pg scope as part of its supervision tree, that client PubSub servers can join if configured to use the pg adapter.

I was a little bit flippant in my initial comment, but my main criticism was of libraries that don't support any sort of hooks like this into their supervision strategy, and instead rely entirely on a global and static supervision tree, usually configured using app config.
I think that was part of his order 227. Which is basically death to anyone who retreats as well as punishment to their family back home.

The point is making orbital launches cheaper. Musk may have some further goals, but they will probably be irrelevant. Predicting the consequences of new technology is always difficult.

Falcon 9 was the first attempt to achieve this, but it failed. Apart from grabbing the majority of the commercial launch market, it didn't really change anything. The number of orbital launches per year is roughly the same it has been since the 1960s. Rockets are still expensive enough that you can't afford one unless you have a really valuable payload to launch.

Expensive but reliable rockets gave us useful things like communications satellites, GPS, and weather satellites. An order-of-magnitude reduction in launch costs may have given us slightly better satellite services (like Starlink) but nothing qualitatively different. Another order-of-magnitude reduction could plausibly bring bigger changes.
The shift to Vue3 and a new paradigm (composition API) left the community in a state of confusion of where/how/when to migrate. The old paradigm is still supported but more like a legacy layer than the way to go. It reminds me of the python 2-3 schism.
Disagree. A company as big as google should have the decency to at least have a human reach out to paying developers before they permanently ban apps which developers use to make a living:

Yes, I'd say you're not the "binge watcher". It's a phenomenon.[1] According to some researchers, this is an understudied phenomenon which may have negative correlation with mental health[2]. Of course Netflix would be loath to admit this.

Those numbers are out of date now, they recently restarted production and it turns out each engine is about $150M now for the new production run for the SLS. (Which about the cost of a full expendable Falcon Heavy rocket launch along with all 27 of its Merlin engines.)
Maskers are nazis. We should kill every last one of them.
Fair enough! I don't think email threads are best for daily spousal communication, but perhaps for some people this could work. It sure would be easier to search than Apple Messages!
Why not make them 2 use tokens?

> If you meant, "Why can't we precisely predict the motions of a vast rock floating in space years into the future" then I don't know what to tell you. We're not God?

IMO this feels like the more interesting one to explore: are leap seconds wholly from things that are within measurement error in existing rotation, or is the Earth's rotational rate actually changing? If we had leap minutes as the smallest increment, could we predict them out centuries in advance? etc
I hope you all suffocate to death in your fucking masks.

Fucking bitches.
I was just talking to a friend a week ago who is pretty deeply interested in concrete. A Civil engineer who had been considering physics research before eventually ending up taking the civil route. A few years of “designing” bridges (they tend to be all about the same, for good reason) and he remains pretty fascinated by the materials and how much room remains (he thinks) for innovation in a very old material, but you know, is a little sick of the day to day.

Any tips for what exists out there in the world of “exciting” concrete? Talking to him he didn’t have too much idea what even existed for research, or if civil/physics was an appropriate background for working at least close to research in concrete.
Indeed, the math falls apart getting 3-4 years in. Makes more sense for people who want to always have a relatively recent model.
No need to apologize, I appreciate the thoughtful (and passionate) reply.

To clarify one of my points: when I said the terms of the deal have changed I didn’t mean just for animals. The existence of plant-based alternatives for every type of animal product has also changed the terms for us. We no longer need domesticated animals, even if we maintain our agricultural ways.

I also agree with you about unfettered capitalism but I am not sold on the idea that the treatment of animals outside the capitalist system is a utopia. I have seen how animals are treated in developing nations (Cuba and Morocco come to mind) and it’s ugly: scrawny donkeys whipped by their masters. Live chickens bound to one another by their feet next to a heap of dead chickens in a market. Etc.

When it comes to the kindly attitude some farmers have, yes, I’ve seen this myself. My family still eats meat, I ensure we buy it from local farmers like that. I think many of these people feel sad about killing the animals when the day comes, but they justify it with rationale like, “well, there’s no way around it”, or, “that’s the natural order of things”, “people need to eat”, or whatever. But today, in 2021, those rationale are not accurate. There are ways around it, there are other options, and humans are no longer part of the natural order.

Thanks for engaging. ;)

At HiHello we believe that who you know is often more important than what you know. We're puzzled by why we don't have better tools to help us grow and curate our most valuable asset: our network. We are on a mission to build a new business relationship network that has a high signal to noise ratio. Our wedge for doing this starts with digital business cards. We make it possible for people to finally do away with paper business cards and instead have a modern, beautiful, professional digital business card to share their identity. In the process, we enable our users to collect all their human relationships in a digital form. HiHello's digital business card platform caters to individuals (Free, Basic, Professional) and to teams (Business and Enterprise).

We want to build a product people love, a company people trust, and deliver value to our users so that they are willing to pay us directly for it. (We will never sell our users data or use it for advertising.)

We're hiring for:

o Backend Engineer (senior): Someone with incredibly strong CS fundamentals, who understand data structures and data modeling for flexibility and performance. Stitching together APIs, creating new elegant ones, and working with Google Cloud/AWS, GraphQL, authentication, security, and overall awesomeness.

o Product Designer (mid-senior) : A unicorn like blend of design, marketing, and business. User flows, wireframes, visually beautiful prototypes and dreaming in Figma.

o Product Manager (senior): Someone who loves bringing order to chaos and can distill information and requests from multiple sources and organize it all into a coherent roadmap and help everyone else operate at peak efficiency.

o Sales (junior): We're looking for folks who have experience with doing inside sales. If you've been an SDR and are now ready to be an AE, or have already been an AE for 1-2 years this is the role for you.

We're a fun team of oddballs. If you're one too, come build with us.

I'm sure detractors would find plenty to criticise about a system to prioritise friends and family, but it's smart from a QA perspective. They get a corpus of issues that are falling through the cracks, coming from real people without an agenda.
This is true, however those studies are for the initial SARS-COV-2 strain and doesn't make any mention of the variants.

It's also worth noting that's a study of ~200 people. Given then times we're in it's an excellent sign and possible reason for cautious optimism and I'm sure a larger scale study is much harder to pull off in the midst of the pandemic.

That said, I have yet to see a study on the rate of reinfection of any of the variants against people who had already been infected with the initial strain, and how well that is survived, etc.
Well, I guess Proton is kind of out of the international heavy lift business now. It has had only 2 launches this decade. The Proton-M could do 2.35M lbs of thrust. The Saturn V could do 7.5M lbs. So this Super Heavy + Raptors must be in the range of 15M lbs.
Everyone wins if I have to maintain my own branch forever just to fix some documentation that I don't need because I figured out what was going on well enough to write a documentation update?

And this is why the distinction is important. You could have an offer by Wednesday. That's a 10-day turnaround, and no one was stringing the other party along. When you consider scheduling, unless both parties are desperate, the process couldn't reasonably go much faster.
Is there a reason the ai accelerators etc can’t just be parked in the polar circle?

"... with a crossover cable..."

Many years ago, I once brought a crossover cable from home to the office to do some data transfer from a workstation to a company-issued laptop. The IT department issuing the laptop, being lovers of all things Microsoft, claimed crossover cable was "obsolete" due to auto-sensing used by Windows.

I am just another dumb end user, I do not work in IT, but I still get faster data transfer between two computers with crossover cable than by going through a third computer, or God forbid, over Wifi.

Sounds like crossover cable is not "obsolete" after all. Who would have thought.

Microsoft's customers, e.g., IT departments, are arguably complicit in the sad "state-of-the-art" you describe. The best software I have ever used was written by volunteers.
Money can't buy everything. As Microsoft has shown, it can certainly buy customers.
I've actually thought about this before. AFAICT, it's mostly a supply chain issue.

In order to ship fruit long distance, they're harvested before they're ready, and artificially ripened in frozen containers. This lets them survive long journeys but kills a lot of the taste.

So your company would end up being a traceability and logistics one - what's the nearest place to your customers that grow fruit, how can you prove it, and how can you get it in their hands.

(Last two contracts were in artificial fruit ripening and supply chain traceability respectively).
Bourbon, too.
Delta's R numbers are not uniform, but certainly are not 0.

Some easy-to-grab stats from Canada's worst covid province which is dealing with a Delta wave:

Alberta provincewide: 1.48 (1.38-1.59)
Edmonton Zone: 1.37 (1.15-1.61)
Calgary Zone: 1.50 (1.37-1.64)
Rest of Alberta: 1.48 (1.26-1.73)

> It purportedly could cure cancer and impotence and give those who used it an “all-around healthy glow,” as one advertisement put it. During the early 1900s, it was added to medicines, cosmetics and sometimes even food. The Denver-based Radio-Active Chemical Company added radium to fertilizers. The Nutex Company made radium condoms.

Every generation seems to think they can't possibly make such ignorant mistakes as were made in the past. It makes me wonder what we will observe in a hundred or so years from now what we're currently doing that we aren't aware of how harmful it is.
My was stolen last year ($3k and 3 weeks to replace), and at the advice of the muffler shop I got one of these, for $200 installed (so far so good): https://www.catstrap.net/

The key is that it would just take a lot longer to steal.
A few hours ago, in a German supermarket I saw Honey Crisp from Chile. Have been tempted, but resisted. Honey Crisps from France are more acceptable IMO. Strangely I haven't seen the 'Cosmics' so far, though I always look for them everywhere.
They need their custom CA on your box for your machine to accept the traffic by default, otherwise you'll get a big ugly untrusted cert error on every https/ssl connection, but some apps will let you ignore those (eg: curl --insecure)

I worked at a company that did this and it was a massive headache, every time I wanted to set up a new VM things would fail until I remembered I had to install their CA. I was an intern at the time, and they gave me some work that required an app that I couldn't configure to use their CA for the life of me. After a lot of failed troubleshooting I and ended up just running a SSH server on my home PC and creating a SOCKS proxy through that.
I'm curious how well you would describe your understanding of Vue?

Because to me React and Vue are basically the same concept under the hood but presented differently (single file components vs functions that render html).

While that’s useful, I suspect the real reason it exists is to discourage fix-it-yourself options, where an engineer may access sensitive user info to help a friend.
Does that means I could boot Linux off NTFS?
Better than just not having an agenda, they're going to personally vet the requests like their paycheck depends on it.
As others have mentioned - you’re probably talking about something like a python or node repl. Lisp repl development is not like python or node - you _work_ in the repl. The closer comparison might be between bash+node as a repl - up+enter and the like to rerun tests has an equivalent in clojure+IntelliJ. There’s no copy pasting but there are different key bindings.

One of the best parts about lisp style repl development is that you end up doing TDD automatically. You just redefine a function until it does what you want from sample data you pass in - without changing files or remembering how your test framework works. You can save the output of some http call in a top level variable and iterate on the code to process it into something useful. The code you evaluate lives in the file that will eventually house it anyway so it’s pretty common to just eval the entire file instead of just one function.

Since you don’t ever shut the repl down, developing huge apps is also quite pleasant. You only reload the code that you’re changing - not the rest of the infra so things like “memoize” can work in local development. That’s why it’s a bit closer to your bash shell in other languages.

If you’ve never tried it, I highly recommend trying the Clojure reloaded workflow [1] to build a web app with a db connection. You can really get into a flow building stuff instead of waiting for your migrations to run on every test boot.

Reading some of these comments makes me wonder what it was like when explorers were trying to justify exploring the "New World".

Humans have been exploring forever. Why stop now?
I think years from now people looking at old photos will marvel at the high resolution for such old pictures. Starting around 1999 they'll see fuzzy 1.2 MP digital pictures, but then over the next ten years picture quality improves and teh amount of pictures increases. So from 1999 to about 2009 will be the "fuzzy ages".
Maybe it's a silly question, but do you think that putting a small message at the start or in the corner saying it's computer-generated would help or hurt?

I personally would feel it is less manipulative and think of it higher.. but perhaps your goal is so people never find out?
In many locations, essentially once you get outside of major cities, it is not economical to run more than one line to each property - telecoms often ends up a monopoly, similar to power distribution or water supply. You can lessen the effects by having the physical infrastructure owned by a different entity to the service provided - like in the U.K. with BT Openreach for example, and in that case maybe the service is a commodity - but I don’t think the infrastructure ever really is.
Yeah, from my time working at FB, it's basically a customer support queue that actually gets reviewed. Sometimes, there can be some additional discussion between the person looking at the ticket and the employee who reported it, so that clarifications can be made when needed. From what I saw, it's mostly used for account recovery, but sometimes used for bug reporting. FWIW, Yahoo had a similar escalation path while I was there (that seems to still exist).

This is a way to help friends and family get their accounts fixed, and also to help make sure employees don't look at their friend and family's accounts with internal tools.
As a happy Oculus Quest 2 owner and non-Facebook user, I'd like to thank everyone for potentially destroying the customer support experience for me!
It’s still around a bit.

It was a hulking, omakase, MVC? based framework at a time when the oppo was Angular 2.0 & Backbone.js and people still used Bower, then React threw everything on its head in favor of component libraries while NPM came into the mix.

They eventually refactored in components and I think repackaged everything for the new js fe ecosystem, but the battle was already lost.
