Sure. I’ve got about 20lbs more muscle than I did at 30. I currently lift 3-4 times a week and run 3.5+ miles 5-6 times a week. At 30 I worked out or ran 3 days a week.

I eat out less now and generally pay attention to what I eat vs just eating whatever is in front of me. Nearly identical meaning proportions are the same but I eat less junk food now.

I was a college athlete, but there’s no way I carried the fitness forward ~6 years without maintaining my college level of workouts.

The original conception of the term 'digital native' was a very specific educational hypothesis.

It seemed to really catch the public's imagination though as a catchphrase.

Notably, the original educational usage was basically wrong too (in a nutshell it was saying that we had to totally rebuild all education because new kids can use computers natively, which is right for the wrong reasons).

I think the popular usage is because for older people (outside the older people who created the hardware and software that powers the modern world) the world has radically changed and they have little idea what's going on. The young people they know probably are, on average, much better at tech than them.

But humans don't deal with averages very well. They prefer to stereotype: "woman are short, men are tall" Vs the complex reality that the average tries to capture in a single number (age, ethnicity, nutrition, health).

There's also the weird fact that many natives are "worse" at their own language than immigrants since they grew up with slang, dialects, accents etc. Again averages covering up a complex reality.
Formatting isn't just looks.

Formatting can cover properly numbered paragraphs, with a hierarchy so that you always know which subsection you are referring to. So that when you have to insert new paragraphs in the middle of 50, 500, 1000 paragraphs, the numbering flows naturally.

It can include styling, making sure consistent headers are used, so that the navigation pane is actually useful. Consistent application of styles between team members also means copy-paste between documents works exactly as intended, with the pasted content automatically and correctly adopting the header, numbering, and font styles of the document.

Correct cross referencing can make it such that word automatically updates references to paragraph numbers when they change.

Hyperlinking can be a godsend when you are working in a long document with multiple defined terms and interlinked sections.

All of these "mere" formatting features are a godsend when a team of 5 is working on one giant document.
Because the government doesn't just care about CSAM, they care about terrorism, drug and human trafficking, gangs etc. Scanning for CSAM won't change the government's opposition to E2EE, and Apple knows this because, according to their transparency reports, they respond with customers' data to NSL and FISA data requests about 60,000 times a year.

Occam's razor also says they aren't playing 11th dimensional chess, and that they just fucked up.

We have far more lenient controls right now. Far more people are getting infected (by a more infectious variant) but our hospitals are not (yet) being overwhelmed. Having the vast majority of the adult population vaccinated allows for this because as well as reducing the rate of infection it also reduces the rate of hospitalisation and the rate of of serious hospitalisation. One of the news articles linked above is about how that might change as things progress. Which is where I pulled this quote from the Chief Epidemiologist here:

> “Diagnosis of infection is three-times more likely in the non-vaccinated than the vaccinated, the likelihood of hospital admission is some four-times higher, and the frequency of intensive care is five times more common in the non-vaccinated than the vaccinated. So, we are seeing that vaccination is protecting against infection and especially against serious illness, which should be a spur to everyone to get vaccinated who has not been vaccinated so far,” Þórólfur said.

If you read further down in the statistics data there is a breakdown by population age. You need to take into account the COVID is less infectious for the young. Iceland is also going to expand vaccination for the 12-16 age group and give people who got the less effective vaccine a booster. Not coincidentally the population with the largest set of infections mixes the most and got the Jannsen vaccine, those 20-30.

> A fundamental problem with Apple's new plan on scanning child abuse images, critics said, is that the company is making cautious policy decisions that it can be forced to change, now that the capability is there, in exactly the same way it warned would happen if it broke into the terrorism suspect's phone.

This is the most important part that seems to be missing in every denial that Apple won't work with governments to spy on various types of content. _It's not Apple's choice to make._ They have no control over whether they're forced to or not.

The woman mentioned in the article mentions she first heard about bitcoin watching keiser report on RT. Out of curiosity, I did a youtube search for keiser report, and sorted by most views, and the top results are all spanish dubbed episodes about bitcoin.

> I imagine rural populations aren't fans either...

Not me, anyway. When they were reintroduced it was argued for based on population projections and expected range. These projections, on which all estimates of negative wolf interactions were based on, were overly optimistic. The real population far exceeded expectations.

That was why the law was passed. They've already had their way introducing the wolf to areas here where many people do not want them. So why can't they "compromise" by limiting the wolf population? Even after this cull it is still higher than originally projected.

> Far more people are getting infected but our hospitals are not (yet) being overwhelmed.

That makes sense. I think it's clear that vaccination makes the infection less severe and reduces hospitalization rates. But there's also a hope, which is the basis for a lot of policy decisions, that vaccination will reduce the chance of being infected, perhaps even eliminate the illness, and Iceland's data doesn't support that.

> If you read further down in the statistics data there is a breakdown by population age.

I don't think that is the case, unless you want to claim black people have always been this racist.

I can say that for me it makes dealing with black people more difficult, because I have to be more on guard. I have to assume they have an increased probability of having been indoctrinated by BLM or CRT and are therefore resentful against me.

No doubt this will give me downvotes (and spare me the "after zillions of years of slavery, they are in their rights to feel that way yadda yadda"), but I am just telling it honestly as it is.

There is a push to prefer "black owned businesses", for example, so how should I not feel that a black person is less likely to want to do business with me than before?

I assume other white people feel the same - which in turn might lead to more actual discrimination when white people prefer to not deal with black people because of the aforementioned issue.
Your link doesn't mean much, as after all 66% of all transactions in Venezuela are USD denominated now per my link. The people of Venezuela had the choice: BTC or USD. They spoke, and they said USD.

Likely only the wealthy laundering money, probably connected to the Maduro government are playing BTC. Only certain entities and individuals connected to the Maduro government are under sanctions, not everyone in Venezuela - which is why USD remittances are possible in the first place. Folks are using USD because Bitcoin is wildly inappropriate for use as a currency.

[edit] Consider that at the time that article was written the average BTC transaction fee with multiple months minimum wage for the average Venezeulan.

People who don't care about learning this end up with a bag of shortcuts in their head and have to remember things like how to add a table of contents. And of course that can change with new versions, plus new programs are just a whole new course they need.

> Shouldn't natural immunity be better in most cases since your body is actually fighting the real disease?

And why should that be? Because natural is always better? See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalistic_fallacy

Vaccines produce a different and sometimes stronger response than the disease that they mimic, as they are literally designed to do.

In answer to your question: no, there is no "should" about it at all. it could go either way. And when it goes the wrong way, people try to redesign the vaccines until it goes the other way.

There is some evidence that COVID vaccines produce stronger responses. Links upthread.

> You literally spread FUD and misinformation

Please check yourself before flinging that accusation.
That only makes sense if units of your code run in a loop and communicate asynchronously :). But, if you want a simple supervisor pattern in C++, then... try/catch block is your supervisor, exceptions are how your process dies. Consider:

template<typename Fn>
auto CallWithSupervision(Fn fn) -> decltype(fn()) {
// supervision loop
// configure conditions as needed
while(true) {
try {
return fn();
}
catch(std::exception& e) {
// log failure details
}
catch(...) {
// optional: exceptions out of handled set?
// kill supervisor.
throw;
}
}
}

//elsewhere
CallWithSupervision([relevant=state,&nd=captures]() { return Client(relevant, nd); });

Modify as you see fit. It's the simplest, synchronous Erlang supervisor, in C++. And it will already work with your code - exception handling is very composable this way.
