Did you know there's a hyena specialized in eating termites? The size of a large cat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4J6NsM2Cco

There are more strange critters associated with termites. Aardvarks look like some kind of alien and have no close relatives in animal world. The closest would probably be elephant. They may look like a mere curiosity, but are ultra fast diggers (5 minutes to dig a burrow) and their strategy involves digging a lot of them so they always have a hideout nearby. In the end lots of their burrows ends up being occupied by other animals like warthogs. They also play a very important role in a dry season, because water gathers in those holes and animals come there to drink.
The article is great. But please Jessica, if you read this, would you consider unfixing the header on mobile? It’s very cute, but it’s also taking a fifth of my screen!

No, this is just queue theory.

People boarding airplanes in the priority lane don’t get to board faster because there is a redundant wait applied for everyone that can be removed for prio boarders. You just let prio borders bypass the queue.

If you ignore the psychological factors then it's just eating less, but the point is that it's not and you seem to not understand that.

Unless you follow the diet to the maximum - eat only compatible food and skip incompatible (according to the chosen diet), calculate calories every single day. In my case keto diet worked the miracle. Maybe other people could be successful with other, different diets. But it does work if done properly. Same with exercise. Random exercise can be just as bad as restricting calories. Exercise should be systematic and balanced, as well as a diet.
I'm sure the crypto part is well implemented.

However, I make the prognostic that within the next 2 years, the Chinese government will force Apple to use its own database of "objectionable" content and will require that the on-device photo roll be scanned, not just iCloud (they already have access to that).

And probably not just China, because any LEA and secret services would love to have the ability to use such a system for ad-hoc searches: dear Apple, for those users, please extend the database source to this new one we maintain and enable scanning of all on-device pictures.
>I don't have the architecture nor the weights of the actual neural hash they use so this is only a POC in the general case.

Then why is this titled "Generating Collisions on NeuralHash" and why are you making claims about the how easy it is to fool NeuralHash based on it?
There is hardly any mention of a boycott. Cynicism prevails; Apple is laughing all the way to the bank.
But that's exactly the point. I'm often the first to tell people that Rust doesn't automatically guarantee safer code however in this instance Rust (and others who don't call `sh` by default) are safer because the developers have to explicitly write code to fork a shell. And if they're explicitly doing that then you'd fucking hope they'd understand the risks of doing so (and at least it would stand out more in a code peer review too).

Whereas standard libraries that silently fork sh are less safer because they introduce the shell injection vulnerability by default thus requiring developers to consciously be aware of the need to sanitise their inputs.

As I've mentioned elsewhere, I personally think it was a boneheaded decision to ever make exec() functions call a shell. Maybe I'll forgive Perl because that has it's origins as being an extension to shell scripting. But by the time node.js was released people really should have known better.

I think you were downvoted undeservedly but what you maybe don't understand is that some people's brains just don't work at this level of abstraction no matter how you break it down and use simple words. Your explanation might just as well have been written in Japanese, it would just not register.

I like to joke that if you place correctly angled mirrors in 7-11s in Thailand (or just seven as they call it), a single beam of light shined at the first one should be able to traverse the whole country. I am only half joking though - they really have that many.
I think Business decisions are less and less in touch with the technical realities.

I just quit a full time job in a Huge-Non Profit where my main project was to make a simple CRM, based on about 10 simple but intertwined tables. This CRM would have saved the hours of hundreds of overworked/burned out people.

The frontend was made entirely with Bootstrap. A functional, life-saving MVP without any dynamic content could have been made in a month with a team of 3 developers.

However, all of the feedback we constantly got was only to make it look more modern and dynamic (and debatably worse from a UX standpoint).

Mid-development we were forced to add Vue.js to our tech stack. I quit because my conflicts with the business side were becoming hopeless, the project has still not seen an MVP, 1.5 years and two avoidable burnouts in the making.

My thinking is that people feel the need to deliver something as modern and sexy as possible to get more credit. Completely losing track of the functional aspects of things.
This article is not a good summary on addiction and current understanding. It jumps around a lot between ideas that should not be linked and is factually wrong often.

RE title - "Once an Addict, Always an Addict"

This doesn't rule out moderation, and it is well known you don't use this wording or idea on some people.

Addiction treatments fail around 90%+ of the time. That's why there are so many around, different ideas work on different people, and probably so people don't get bored or despondent as the churn through them multiple times.

"Once an Addict, Always an Addict" might be someones win, someone else might just randomly stop.

Also worth to point out Earth needed millions of years to sequester that CO2 we release to atmosphere each year.
It is not a monopoly a per law definition across most jurisdictions.

Additionally playing sales commissions is a traditional practice in most markets.

Finally, maybe devs would appreciate to pay the 80 to 90% that used to be common on the Symbian, J2ME, BREW and Blackberry shops from mobile operators, about 15 years ago.

Your question implies that Google has a monopoly.

As far as I know this has not been agreed up on by a court so far. Or has it?

Google flies close to the envelope by existing. At their scale, a lot of what is legal and what isn't is undecided (because no other company had been big enough to raise the question).
Is this a commonly held belief? I thought it was just a joke/fake news type of headline…
If you're escaping shell tokens to reduce your arguments to a single executable command then you might as well not bother with forking to a shell in the first place and instead fork that executable directly since you're removing the one benefit forking to a shell has (effectively embedding a DSL). You'd get some small performance improvements in doing so too.
I am with you. But I think I know what it is, you touched on it and almost had it. It was indeed peace, we almost had it, world peace - feeling utopian and all loving in the 90s.

Then came 9/11. It’s the single point in history where just about everything to do with American society can be defined to be before and after.

Doesn’t matter what you think about the event and it’s authenticity as described, the fact of the matter is that America as a country has been locked in this sort of country wide PTSD since and have changed completely. Along with it went peace, calmness, secularism, egalitarianism and altruism. We’re constantly the hunted now, the ones who need security, everything needs to be dumbed down, so called common sense rules and it better be mine common sense and not yours. And on and on it goes. We’re operating like a demented, schizophrenic who has woken up from a nightmare every day of their lives and have lost the fact they are living in their head instead of in the real world.
Aside from Macau, I think Taiwan may have Japan beat for 7-11 density.
You could argue that it is the way they pay for the distribution channels. I can't exactly go in and take a product in Wallmart and then pay target for it.

The way I see it, Apple and Google made the platforms worth something, made the stores, made the development tools, run the stores (which can't be cheap).

They could charge you a flat fee of several thousand dollars per app, but that would stifle competition too much. Instead they charge a percentage of what the app developer makes and ensures that as a user I can always trust the payment option to be save and, if I buy a subscription, to be easy to cancel.

They could allow you to pick your own payment provider, but then companies would still have to pay the 30% tax to Apple/Google, so what would be the point?
For me it was performance on my mac (esp. YouTube) and having to constantly switch browsers to use some specific sites I need that don't work on Firefox.

It’s probably an example of the Baader-Meinhof effect¹ but I’d never heard the term “apopenia” until I read “A Game Designer’s Analysis Of QAnon”² a couple of weeks ago.

I heard this too and somehow just accepted it, even though I could not imagine how this should have happened. So during this major extinction event all the big dinosaurs just gathered in giant groups, fell over, then never really decomposed but got covered with something and turned into coal, oil and gas?

Plankton is new to me too though. I thought it was plants, which could not be fully digested by anything at the time, so they just broke down a bit and formed layer after layer, until other organisms caught up and started digesting them completely - so this sort of concentrated organic matter doesn't exist in upper layers.

What a strange comment. There's nothing stopping you from posting something that isn't about Japan you know.

FWIW I've visited convenience stores in Taiwan. They're not much different to what I've seen in Japan - in fact they both sell many of the same products.
Japan has a robust movie industry, which does a lot to popularize the country. A relevant scene from Tampopo:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38m-wnbHPLA

Other Asian countries have starting to compete in the area, notably South Korea and China, but Chinese movies have always been chock full of propaganda. It's unbearable to me. And the Party mandates all humor should be "praising" (positive) in nature.

Taiwan probably has more going for it than just high quality electronics, but China is successful in bullying anyone that mentions Taiwan as a separate country. I heard Taiwan does remarkably well to suppress covid19, for instance.
> How is it not illegal for the platform to force the use of their own payment service?

A) Legislators haven't caught up with how the (digital) world works, so they don't even understand what is happening

B) These "stores" are run by two of the biggest companies on the planet (Apple and Google), so big that they can afford to spend countless amount of money to lobby and influence the legislators so the discussions never even hit the table

C) Both of the above

> Isn't this classic misuse of a monopoly?

Not really. While the App Store has monopoly on distributing apps on iOS, Apple and iPhone are far off from being a monopoly as more people have Android phones. Android phones allow side-loading so can't really claim Android has any misuse of a (potential) monopoly.

Your commentary is no doubt appreciated. Over the last few years the "production values" and quality of the GT website has markedly improved. They've always been knocking it out of the park rhetorically, tho... particularly the editorial pieces which are I guess all penned by Hu Xijin. It's up there with, or better than, RT, in terms of counter-narrative sophistication juxtaposed to the predominant Western takes on current events.

I wonder about their future...are they destined to become a widely distributed and consumed part of China's soft power? Or sort of a fringe (in the overseas market) hard-line paper with a finger on the pulse of the Central Government?

I sort of feel sorry for China with not yet being able to have a flagship international masthead widely consumed by overseas audiences. CNN is still the absolute unrivaled ruler in terms of mainstream media soft power projection. As the (nearly) largest country economically, China probably needs to up this game. I wonder how that will play out? Perhaps not through traditional "news mediums" at least at first...

edit: Final thought: heh, I suppose as long as the conversation is about the paper/outlet itself, rather than the story, a news outlet cannot claim to really project soft power, as they are not really participants in the 'liquid market' of narratives, until their particular brand becomes invisible/gets out of its own way in favor of the content/take/narrative they're publishing.

It’d need additional radiation shielding to operate for long periods outside Earth’s magnetosphere. The Lunar Gateway modules are a reasonable blueprint for this.

Also, even with the ISS’s power budget, the VASIMR module wouldn’t operate continuously. The plan was to charge it and then run it for short 15 minute periods. It could operate for longer if it took more power from the ISS. It seems they are considering other options for a flight demonstration.

If Google had bought Epic games, would they have a stronger case against Apple in the Epic vs Apple case? Could Google then claim Apple was practicing anti-competitive practices?

Though I guess Apple could make the same case against Google too.
With a guess.
Oil comes from plants, plankton might eat said algae (phytoplankton would not be sufficient) but trees on land probably contributed as much. The problem obviously is that the process from plant to coal, oil and gas takes a long time so we're inevitably going into a wall of energy deficit that will impact everything.

Solar and wind are not solutions as plants are a solar panel and maintenance free battery in one, without any work required.

Nuclear (1.000.000.000x higher energy density than batteries) is our only hope/despair to have any chance at preserving this way of life for 8 billion people but it requires hydrocarbons to build and maintain.

Reduce your energy consumption as much as possible: no car, small house/appartement.

Work on meaningful digital solutions that scale without too much energy.

Quit everything else.

Moon mission was Cold War competition with Soviet Union. There was no real political interest in space exploration.

The Space Shuttle was was supposed to be a "space truck" capable of 40-50 launches per year. It was engineering failure. It never reached it goals, It was unreliable and so expensive to operate that there was little money for anything else. SpaceX is doing now what Space Shuttle was supposed to do.

Even today the Mars missions etc. must be justified with "inspiration" and photo and videos delivered to public. There is no money and interest for scientific exploration.

I suppose in theory the US could just starve Roscosmos of funding by cutting back on implicit subsidies. That would require having a contingency in place to keep the station viable without Russian involvement. The problem is that would be massively expensive. As you say, that’s a third of the station. In practice you’re quite right, that plan is completely unviable.
I find it interesting that rational, and normally inquisitive people turn a blind eye to this and other huge red flags around our Covid-19 handling.
Wow... this article (the not-the-OP one you linked to here, from the guy I mostly know from his missionary work for the Rust ecosystem) represents a complete misunderstanding of what the Free Software movement is prioritizing... it was painfully disappointing (but I guess not surprising) to read this :(.

The core disagreement between the philosophy of Free Software advocates and the world of modern Open Source developers is that the former is fighting for the rights of end users to analyze and even specifics modify the software they use and to achieve this they are willing to severely limit developer freedoms. This is a move that many developers don't like, but this article is somehow missing that disagreement entirely and us claiming that Free Software is somehow missing the point because developers actually want "[a list of things involving the production of software]" that the Free Software people are going to point out does not in any way help achieve freedom for users.

Not convinced HTML2 'gamified' anything.

"HTML 1" wasn't really a standard anyway and I don't remember what html2 actually brought - I remember not every browser in the mid 90s did tables, client side image maps etc but they were later additions to html2.

Javascript (which came in with html 3.2) was far more of a step change than html2
That is indeed a fancy building, but the product selection is poor. Notice how all the shown food is prepacked low shelf life snacks.

Japan's domestics convivence stores strength is in their supply chains. They will keep a single shop stocked with over a thousand products, many with short self lifes and low in-store stock. Thus the stores survive on daily restock. The bento and sandwich collection will stocked once a day in most locations, multiple times for busy downtown locations.

All of the short shelf life products are store label products made by child-companies of the owning mega-corp.

7-11 is owned by 7 & i holdings, which also owns Ito Yokado. FamliyMart is owned by Itochu (hence their prime chicken, as itochu owns the chiken farms). Lawson is owned by Mitsubishi Co.

A fun example to drive home the vertical integration: FamilyMart's uniforms are made by another company owned by Itochu. The kombini are in effect the tip of the icebergs of various mega-corps.
