The article you posted is talking about Neuroborreliosis, which is a real thing. The problem with 'chronic lyme' is that it covers a lot of different things. You have the people who never had a rash, tested negative on the standard tests, and never had any symptoms consistent with lyme, then test positive with an unvalidated test, do some weird and wacky treatment like HBOT.
To expand on this: with targeted ads, if I want to find out if you're gay I need to figure out a way to track you across sites that give me that information, or to specifically buy that data from a company that's already tracking you.

With FLoC, anyone can get that data without entering into an expensive agreement. I can get that data as a single person from a personal blog with no cookies. I can get that data directly, I don't need to sign up with another 3rd-party tracking company that might not tell why they're serving my users a specific ad or what data they have about them. And it's all scaleable with no extra cost to my operations. This opens up additional attack vectors that might not exist otherwise: in a small operation it may be a lot easier for me to fingerprint you using your IP address, login information, or other data I have access to and to correlate that to a real-world identity. When that happens, I also have access to all of the information about you from your FLoC categories, for free.

On some level, Google is taking a gamble that users will be difficult to fingerprint or identify using FLoC so it won't matter that some sensitive information is leaked. But it's just not the case, users can be fingerprinted. And in scenarios where they are fingerprinted/identified, FLoC provides a much more complete picture of that person based on activity from sites that might not have ever sold that information, that might have never intended to leak information about them in the first place.
> What age bracket did you fall into at the time? I’ve found from talking to various people that dating apps like Tinder are great if you’re young but turn into a horror show after about 35.

I think this is just dating in general. People that are broadly attractive are more likely to not be still dating at 35 compared to people who are not as broadly attractive.
Same issue here. If the link is too slow screen shares become grainy and text is hard to read.

While Zoom usually only slows the frame rate, but not the resolution.
For ease of numbers, let's say you make $100/week and have to spend $90/week on personal expenses.

If you get paid once every 2 weeks, you have:
Week 1: -$90
Week 2: +$20
Week 3: -$70
Week 4: +$40
Week 5: -$50
Week 6: +$60
Week 7: -$30
Week 8: +$80
Week 9: -$10
Week 10: +$100

So it takes you 9 weeks before you never go negative and to be able to afford to take the job, you need $90.

If you get paid everyday, it's:
Week 1: +$10
Week 2: +$20
Week 3: +$30
Week 4: +$40
Week 5: +$50
Week 6: +$60
Week 7: +$70
Week 8: +$80
Week 9: +$90
Week 10: +$100

It's clearly nicer to get paid everyday all else being equal.

Twitter had already allowed the Taliban's spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, tweet regularly to his 293,400 followers. It makes no sense to me that Twitter is OK with radical Islamic terrorists using their platform but banned Donald Trump. Now Twitter and Facebook may let the Taliban take over the Afghan government social media accounts (https://www.forbes.com/sites/abrambrown/2021/08/17/twitter-f...).
It seems there are a lot of opportunities for privacy testing here....

-) Is is possible to re-identify webpages a user visits based on Cohort ID?

-) E.g. can a website be built to show your "profile" and "interests" based on the Cohort, rather than just the FLoC ID? Google and others who (I assume) will share their back-end data will be able to build such a website.

-) Can a "rainbow table of FLoCs" be pre-calcuated? This would allow to re-identify certain browsing habits of users

-) In fact what if someone creates a Chrome extension that publishes visited domain names and their resulting FLoC ID - Imagine many people download and use it for fun! This would sort of decentralize the previous mentioned de-identification attacks and render FLoC useless for all other privacy concerned users.

-) How much easier is it now to track a user with just IP address + FLoC ID now?

BUT, what I'm missing entirely at this point is how will the web server (Google and other ad companies) actually *use/share* the Cohort information? That is not being described at all by Google - and seems rather critical to me.

Helvetica Now is such a departure from what makes the typeface a classic that I think Monotype kept Helvetica in the name mostly for marketing purposes. To me CommercialType’s Neue Haas Grotesk is the absolute best digitalization of Miedingers original drawings.

Totally disagree as someone who grew up building websites as “cleanly” as possible, and now has spent many years doing all in one: the all in one is simply better in every way, it logically makes much more sense to group by component than by arbitrary style/structure/logic which just isn’t the right separation for many reasons that are written more fully in many places.

I also made SnackUI to solve the last problems of fully inline styles: namely to make them work 100% between React Native and Web, to make them extract to atomic CSS on web automatically, to optimize even conditionals into CSS, and finally to make media queries and themes work the same between Native/Web. We’re launching a very large app with it here in not long, and I absolutely love how clear it is to work on.

>Does the science say we just blast our bodies with as much mRNA as we can get away with?

Science does not decide things that should be applied population wide. Economics does.

If it costs less for the state (or entities who have invested in state business) to mass vaccinate its population, then it ll be done, even if it fucks you up in ways that you care about, as an individual.

And that is why people should think twice about writing of essential autonomy..
For me, Composita

Seem like a good way forward wrt memory management and concurrency, using ASAP inside a component, and delegating concurrency and component cleanup to Composita.

No, it is both, as I just said.

The opacity is a remnant from the game as it was designed twenty years ago, which took cues from roguelikes of the day such as NetHack (which is famous for its opacity). The developers of Stone Soup have spent a few decades improving the interface with the goal that you shouldn't need any external wikis or resources to win: all info should be in the game itself. For example, a relatively recent-ish change is that you can inspect enemies and see a list of all possible spells that they can cast, along with estimates of the damage that each spell will do. A much older feature is the in-game help menu, which is impressively thorough and will give you a high-level overview of every monster, spell, stat, ability, item, god, level, status effect, and so on (although it's not necessarily super-detailed when it comes to obscure things like calculating damage; simplifying these calculations is the only way to go).
humans must perform the “sex” ritual as a sacrifice to the stork gods, it seems. i’ve yet to determine why they often try to summon the spirit of their fathers repeatedly through incantation, though
Or, rather than any of these special-purpose autonomous robots, the most likely outcome: fully-articulated telepresence robots, allowing people using VR to do anything a human could physically do, remotely. That covers pretty much all of the above use-cases and more, without assuming advances in high-level strategic AI; just good low-level motor-model learning as already exists here, plus good Internet and input methods for medium-level subsumptive motor control.

That sounds like a very nice idea! I'm French and not confident at all in my oral English because of my pronunciation. I did a bit of job hunting recently, and I was afraid that the topic of English would come up precisely because of that.
In addition to the links dTal commented with, your own link says this:

"While it is true that the spike protein has 'superantigen' properties, which means it has the POTENTIAL to cause adverse effects, we know that it doesn’t cause these effects in many infected patients, it doesn’t cause many of these superantigen effects in most vaccinated individuals, and the levels are incredibly low in the blood, suggesting this shouldn’t be a concern," he said."

Many, most, etc. is a pretty far cry from "absolutely does not." I already said for most people it shouldn't be an issue. Could it be developmentally harming fetuses? Maybe we'll find out 10 years from now that they'll have a slightly lower IQ than they should.

Or maybe for adults we'll see an increase in autoimmune diseases a few years from now. Or, hopefully, there will be no widespread long term effects. These things take time to suss out. I'm so incredibly sick of absolutism reigning over everything now. It should be perfectly acceptable to have a nuanced opinion over who should take the vaccine instead of everyone or noone.
The idea that something is a crime if it is "accessible from the US" is truly a contortion of justice. If you take $5, walk across the mexican border, and then buy an antibiotic labeled for use in humnans -- is that a violation of US law because the Mexican pharmacy sold something that a US person could possibly access? What if that person used their Panamanian passport and not their US passport (VPN) to buy the antibiotics and the vendor could have never known they were a US national?

Once currency leaves the US it is absurd to claim anything that happens with it is US jurisdiction. If that is the case all Americans who paid taxes should be put on war trials for money sent as foreign aid to despotic regimes.

I didn't mention banning import of secondhand clothing, so I leave it to you.

One way to prevent "westerner" from getting rid of clothes is by having them buying quality products at a fair price, including waste treatment. Now how that would be implemented, no idea. We all know any change will have side effects as we are in a complex economy and that doesn't mean we cannot try. Just to keep the discussion open on reducing waste, some random ideas: tax fast-fashion, ban disposable clothes, prevent waste export (non-wearable clothes qualify as waste).
Not true. Look up Dr. Robert Malone, Dr. Peter McCullough, and Dr. Mike Yeadon, just to name a few.
> Propelled in part by surging demand during the pandemic, people spent more than $610 billion on Amazon over the 12 months ending in June, according to Wall Street estimates compiled by the financial research firm FactSet. Walmart on Tuesday posted sales of $566 billion for the 12 months ending in July.

$610 billion is starting to resemble the tax revenue of some nation states.
Used it once, host shared the screen, never seen anything what they have shared.
Thats why i clicked lol
Here’s the phone number for Walmart in Lansing Michigan. Tell me if you get a different price. You probably won’t.

517 622 1451.

In fact, I’ll do the legwork for you and report to you exactly what they say. I’ll be right back.

Update:

I was wrong! Massive price deduction. It will cost me only $567 for 3 shots total!! That’s such a small amount of money for rural America right? An entire month’s small apartment rent for a vaccine. And Medicaid and ACA still don’t cover it.
The irony in this story is that we're still paying retirements of hundred of thousands people that are actually dead.

So now that you make me think of it, we might actually be as dysfunctional as Texas but we just have better weather so it's not apparent as much.

As the saying goes, never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by stupidity.
I feel like the real problem is people burning police buildings, and the lack of accountability in holding every last person who was involved in setting public property on fire to the maximum extent of the law.

But you obviously did not read the article you posted or might have sympathy to the folks lives that could be in danger if such documents were released to the public. But ACAB, FTP right?
Not really though right? Sensor fusion is used, and it’s a generally solved problem. We do the same thing - we have sound, touch (which can also pick up changes in air pressure, humidity, temperature, wind), visual, and internal model/balance.

We’ve evolved to do that because it’s necessary for survival - sometimes we get dust in our eyes, or there is glare, or it’s too dark to see and we don’t have a light, or we’re picking up on a impending problem with something around a corner (a loud fight, or whistling wind), etc.

If visual sensors and LiDAR suck in the rain, radar is great. If radar sucks in crowded road or RF noisy environments, that’s when LiDAR or visual sensors are awesome.

Even on the road this is true - rumble strips, mechanical noise, shaking, etc.
Am I crazy for expecting fonts to be free? There are so many good options that I can use without paying a license fee. I can't imagine liking the tiny differences in a font so much that I would get myself locked into a yearly licensing fee.

I assume you mean the vaccine.

"Long term effects" here doesn't mean what you think it means....

In the past, long term side effects were still occuring with weeks or few month after the shot. However, the statistical signal may be delayed for years or decades to manifest.

It's very hard to think of a way how anything could cause side effect years down the line. Vaccines do not contain beryllium or asbestos. The mRNA vaccines do not even contain mercury or other heavy metals. Mind you, 'none' means less than a can of tuna. They do not remain in the body for long. None of it.

That's why people aren't too worried, rationally. Long term effects whould have shown already.

If you indeed mean COVID, I agree. There may be late long term effects, because of the diffuse organ damage and persistent infections.

Of course any strong immune stimulation may slightly increase or decrease the risk for derailing or aging the immune system. Which may sooner, e.g. autoimmune disease risk, or later, e.g. lymphoma risk, manifest.

For COVID it's a silly debate, because you will get infected or vaccinated in any case.
The author was open about both how little they know and how these articles are about their learning. Sorry bud, but if you read that disclaimer at the beginning, read the whole article and still have this complaint, I have zero sympathy for you.

ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, joins the Open Invention Network
Let's weaken it slightly. Consider Schrödinger's cat. Let's assume the Copenhagen interpretation, and assume that collapse does not happen until the box is opened.

Now let's modify the experiment to assume a hyper-intelligent cat, with access to a full physics laboratory inside of the box.

QM predicts that there is no experiment that is possible for the cat to conduct that can tell whether collapse happened. The QM description of what's going on in the box is guaranteed to be alien to the cat's experience, but perfectly predicts what the cat does experience. Furthermore, even though in this hypothetical, collapse happens when the box is opened, there is no experiment that can be done by the outside experimenter which can verify that collapse happened when the box opened, and not before. Nor is there any experiment that the experimenter can perform that confirms that collapse does not happen afterwards.

And yes, this includes attempts by the cat to confirm the Born rule. As far as the cat can determine, the Born rule will be true.

Therefore our assumption in this hypothetical that QM describes the cat leads to MW being true for the cat no matter what is ultimately true.

And this is what I mean by saying that, to the extent that the experimenter is described by QM, MW is true.

At the same time there are benefits to nontransit users having a chunk of the population use transit. The roads are clearer, for one. Less smog, for two. Higher national GDP due to less resources overall required to move labor from housing to the means of production, for three. I'm sure there are more reasons, too.
That's quite different! Thank you for pointing that out.

There may be more to this story. I believe "Big Oil" actually wanted tighter control of methane emissions to remain in place when the previous administration proposed relaxing them. The problem may be with smaller producers, who would be favored by that relaxation if they have less resources for compliance than bigger companies do:

This is a great question. I took Ciprofloxacin which was prescribed to me as first-line for traveler's diarrhea while I was traveling for an extended period of time. Just one dose caused temporary dementia that persisted for several hours and loss of memory, and I was instructed by a nurse on-call to discontinue usage.

Prior to that experience I had no idea how potentially dangerous and neurologically damaging these antibiotics can be, and in particular I am at very high risk of retinal detachment and should have been contraindicated on that reason alone. However, these are first-line antibiotics for many conditions, including relatively common conditions like traveler's diarrhea. Sadly, due to antibiotic resistance we are running out of "gentler" antibiotic options, and so we (as a society) use "rougher" first-lines now.
Nutella is the least of your issues.

"Palm oil is the most consumed vegetable oil on the planet."

"The food industry is responsible for 72% world wide usage of palm oil. Cosmetics and cleaning products are responsible for a further 18% usage whilst 10% globally is used for biofuels and animal feed.

In food, it's the fat ingredient in things like biscuits and margarine. In soap and cosmetics, it’s used as a fat to increase the thickness or viscosity of a product and it helps skin to retain moisture.

Palm oil and its derivatives is often masked under 200 different names in ingredients lists. More obviously it may be listed as palm kernel, palmitic acid or even simply as vegetable oil. As of 2014, in the EU, food ingredient lists must list which type of vegetable oil they contain."

From: https://www.ethicalconsumer.org/food-drink/palm-oil-what-it-...

There are alternatives to Nutella that don't use palm oil, so you don't have to be tough on your family. But note that even if Nutella disappeared tomorrow, it wouldn't make a dent on palm oil consumption.

Also, if you believe what Nutella has to say about their use of Palm Oil, you don't have to feel bad for consuming it: https://www.nutella.com/int/en/inside-nutella/sustainability...

Do you ask for a comparable alternative when a road gets closed or slowed down? Or when a particular, well working, herbicide gets banned? Or when carrying guns openly gets banned? Did you ask for a comparable alternative to leaded fuel?
Too bad it doesn't require sexual contact to contract.
You're right, I forgot about the first paragraph by the end, my bad. Still this is shared and people are reading it, so it is colouring people's view in a disappointing way. Communications have an impact on the world and people should take responsibility for what they say

Rep. Barbara Lee voted against war in Afghanistan. She was mocked for it
yeah, 99% of the way there either means they can handle everything on 99% of the roads (the definition you are using), or they have enumerated 100% of the things they need to handle and are at 99%. The last would be consistent with their claim and could well be a lot harder than the rest - however I doubt they have tried to enumerate all the things they need to do.
"The goal should be clear communication, not a north american accent"

Yes but how do you teach clear communication without focussing on accent ? You ultimately have to pick a way to speak and accents define that way.
