IMO this is attacking it from the wrong angle.

What I want is a change to insurance industry regulations to make it so fat people and sedentary people can start paying their fair way and not be subsidized by those of us who maintain their health.

Could be done a number of ways. Life insurance already sometimes requires a physical at signup. Why not for health insurance too? Could also just be a discount. Could even, e.g., partner with Peloton--you work out 5 days a week? Actuarial table shows you're XX% cheaper to insure.

If it's opt-in like that, all the healthy people will opt-in, and all the unhealthy people (NOT pre-existing conditions, just things within people's own power to control that some do well and others ignore--exercise and diet, primarily) will pay more.

No need to tax the sugar, tax the actual impact, healthcare.
I've been feeling that way, but I can't tell if it's rational. Windows XP and 7 were the versions of the OS I used the most growing up. Nostalgia? Ever since Windows 8, the OS has felt a lot slower and the UI isn't consistent. I was running something the other day that needed privilege escalation and I had this realization that I would have no idea if a particular UI was cobbled-together-Microsoft-UI or if it was cobbled-together-malware-UI.

Excellent point! There has often been a part of me that has secretly wished for a slightly more rigorous schooling, even if that would have meant some pain and sacrifice. There is so much that can be accomplished when one is young that can't be made up for later on (languages in particular). The movie "Whiplash" is thematically relevant--an emotionally abusive director of an elite music school orchestra, when confronted by the student he has been targeting, explains that he treats his pupils so poorly because he thinks that all of the pain is worth it if even one of them goes on to become a truly great musician.

I'm not understanding the "fill it from left to right with true on the specific amount of cents [and if it fits perfectly, you found a solution]." Isn't finding that "specific amount of cents [e.g. which choice of items achieves that amount]" the crux of the problem here that is glossed over? How would you test each combination to fit this boolean array without trying all of them brute force?

While the rest of your comment is accurate, this is disingenuous. There are plenty of valid reasons to have concerns over this besides those drilled by the powers that be.

Besides, it's still reasonable to want to reduce your potential attack surface. Sure, federal agencies may root you if they really want but that doesn't mean it's pointless to avoid OS-level preinstalled backdoors from the manufacturer.

When I read things like this, I feel that a nutrition class should be required in US high school. Not a unit about nutrition during health class, but a full semester on nutrition.

Salt (sodium) is terrible for blood pressure. Just search keywords “salt blood pressure”. And if you don’t know why high blood pressure is bad for you, that’s ok. Spend 2 minutes reading about it, that’s all you need.

If you're making minimum wage, your time is worth a few cents a minute, driving may be a good deal! If you're more highly paid and making ~$2/min post-tax 15 or more minutes may be "overpaying" in time, so paying for delivery makes perfect sense.

Facebook has been silently hiding messages containing targeted links for at least a decade.

I had multiple reports of censoring people discussing my depaywalling of a large cache of public domain historical scholarly papers [1], and went and checked for myself. Messages which included the link to the documents were reported as delivered but not actually delivered.

I believe they may have started it at the time of one of the high profile wikileaks document dumps.

This experiences is part of why I and my partner have since refused to use their services.

On social media there are a these large prices shared about NTF sale price

The transactions are all likely to be organized by the same entity. A, B and C are all buying and selling this NFT for headline grabbing price. The problem is they're all the same people trading at high prices to get attention

That's when the mark will come in attracted by large prices shared on social media. The mark will be unaware of the wash trading and they will paying what they think is a market price but is really a constructed price by one colluding entity. There is no large group of people willing to pay this price for the product it is an illusion

The colluding group is able to sell well above a realistic market price to the mark. A highly profitable scheme. This is the basic breakdown of the wash trading scam which is the basis for NTFs

There are some details from the Win7 UI that is still not in the CSS, for example the gloss which appears when the mouse pointer hovers over the window action buttons.

Next, the dropdown menu isn't like Win7, it follows your browser/operating system's theme. For example, on Firefox-based browsers running on GNU/Linux it follows your GTK theme, rather than the Win7 theme. On standard Chromium-based browsers, it shows it as dark blue rather than glassy light blue of Win7.

Next, the scrollbar doesn't show as the Win7 one on Firefox-based browsers, but does on Chromium ones for some reason.

An amphibious invasion of Taiwan will require months of build-up (that would be visible on satellite) and there are only a few windows during the year in which it could take place because of conditions in the Taiwan Strait.

Such an invasion would be a binary event. If China fails, it's game over for the CCP. Not the kind of risk they're known for taking.

If anything, I think Afghanistan will only increase Beijing's belief that America's decline is
accelerating and it will eventually be able to get what it wants without a head-on kinetic conflict with the US.

I've always thought a more likely scenario would be for China to first take Kinmen, which is trivially easy. The US is not going to risk WW3 over Kinmen and it would only be a symbolic victory, but it would put the US and Taiwan leadership in a very tough place.

I don't carry my phone anywhere. However, I have it in a Faraday bag at all times, even a the place where I store it. No signals can get through a Faraday bag, so there is no tracking you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage

I never use my mobile phone, except rarely. Unfortunately, having a phone is becoming 100% mandatory. One cannot get financial services, for example, without a mobile phone. The companies will not accept you as a client. If I could get away with not having a mobile phone, I would never buy one. So I broke down and bought the least expensive mobile phone that I could a few months ago, paid the cheapest plan ($15/month), and keep it for those singular occasions where I need it. I need it maybe once every few months, and have to pay $50 for the phone, and $180 per year for the phone plan. Just to use it a few times a year.

Anyways, if you don't want to be tracked everywhere, get a Faraday bag and keep your phone in it all the time, except when you use it.

One cool thing we’ve lost in browsers today is the ability to switch between scripting languages. Old IE versions let you use JScript or VBScript by mentioning the language as an attribute in the script tag. And it actually worked: you could mix different languages on the same HTML page (not necessarily a good idea but great flexibility).

Imagine if we could specify JavaScript or TypeScript in the script tag for today’s browsers?
Hey, bravo for replying and all, but your time is valuable. Please don't feel obligated to play whackamole here, unless you enjoy it :)

The skeptic posts will keep appearing (heck I myself wrote one months ago) until people can boot something low-performance with keyboard, unaccelerated framebuffer, network, and internal storage, and trust that it won't corrupt filesystems. We all know you're working on that. It will shut up the skeptics, and it's the only thing that will do that.

That said, at some point a fully 100% comprehensive inventory of all these "onboard coprocessors running Apple firmware" (that we can't reprogram or recompile the firmware for) is going to be needed. And a clear, coherent argument for each of them individually, explaining why it isn't a bugdoor risk. I'm sure most of those answers will be elaborations on "because IOMMU". But for the DRAM controller the story will be much more nuanced.

I'll buy an M1 someday, and it will beat the pants off my RK3399, but I doubt I'll ever trust it to the same degree.

I think it's much more than pump and dump, or if it is, on a much longer time frame. There is a absolutely spectacular documentary on Andy Warhol by Ric Burns that I think sheds some light.

Warhol was relatively unknown before the 32 soup cans. An art dealer in California named Irving Bloom showed them and most people hated them or dismissed them, but by some mysterious process they became like a talisman that divided the hip from the unhip. Later in the documentary Bloom brags about how they're now worth millions of dollars.

NFT's of JPG's of rocks are kind of like the soup cans. You either get it, or you don't, but people are betting that the one's who get it will pay good money for all kinds of NFT's in a self-sustaining market. It's very futuristic, like the idea that a soup can could be art. It's not based on anything that happened before.

You really have to get the context starting at 1:08:15 where a friend tells him "you like money, why don't you paint pictures of money? You should paint something everyone recognizes, like a can of soup"

Latin Literature’s Problem with Invisibility
This is a pseudopolynomial time algorithm: polynomial in the magnitude of an important number, not in the number of bits that it takes to write it down. Problems with those kind of algorithm available don't make P=NP because the problems that don't have known pseudopolynomial solutions, when reduced to problems that do, end up with numbers with logs (rather than magnitudes) polynomial in the size of the original problem.

In real life, numbers are often of human scale (rather than the kind you get from reducing a hard SAT instance to knapsack) and a pseudopolynomial algorithm is great.

Do you really think geopolitics is based on morals?

A much better case could be made that wars are really started over greed and fear. And that's what I was talking about originally. This thread started with me objecting to the assertion that a justification for militarily defending Taiwan was to prevent China from attacking the West. I don't think they plan on attacking the West. What do they plan on doing? To know that requires thinking from their perspective. This is what the state department does. This is the level I was talking on. I personally think that the world would be a better place if citizens everywhere better understood the reasons for problems between nations.

I don't think that this has anything to do with morality. I didn't bring morality up. I've studies a lot of history, and that doesn't appear to be how these things work. That's why the U.S. does many immoral things, supports many regimes that do immoral things, ignores many others, and changes their mind sometimes. Same as every other country. The bigger and more powerful a country is the more immoral they tend to become. Given all that it hardly makes sense to single out Taiwan for special treatment based on morals. If you want to go on discussing morality in relation to Taiwan you have a lot of contradictions to deal with, our support of Saudi Arabia for example, our abandonment of the Kurds, Afghanistan, etc. Morality is not why wars are fought. Morality is how wars are sold to the masses that have to suffer and pay for them. I apologize if you already know this and we are otherwise miscommunicating.

So where do you want to go from here?
You might be interested to read the book Sundown Towns: https://thenewpress.com/books/sundown-towns

The author shows via census data and historical research that there were towns all over America where Black people weren't allowed after sundown. This happened from the end of Reconstruction up to the civil rights era. A large amount of that was never documented, so we don't know the mechanisms. But for the places where it was, this ethnic cleansing was often directly enforced by the police or tacitly supported by them when they ignored white intimidation and violence.

Growing up in western Michigan, I had never heard of this. But it turns out many towns I was familiar with were examples of it.
