McCarthyism's end predates the cold war. It also predates all other markers of social progress in the last 50 years.

To me, the end of McCarthyism is the first point in the great wave of American social change that began in the 60s.

But moving on...

> I wouldn't be surprised if the US start to make the life of China sympathizers difficult in near future if China becomes more competitive.

I think that China is largely viewed as a 'foregin nation', whereas communism (whcih is what McCarthyism railed against) was an ideology.

You can adopt an ideology and still remain patriotic--China is a good example of how to take communism and fuse it with your countries national soul. However, you can't really 'adopt' a foregin power.

Because of that China will likely find itself with a lot less sympathizers than communism. The existing sympathizers will likely be people who are ethnically Chinese, which would make it difficult for the government to pressure them due to concerns over racism.
Ah sorry, I misread the first statistic as cases by status, not vaccinated/ unvaccinated percentages and that's why I thought it inconsistent with the others.
For what it's worth, in ~2002 we were developing a product that IBM wanted ported to run as a Linux VM on their hardware, and they just plain out loaned us a smallish mainframe for a year or two. It only fit in the elevator after removing it from the wood crate.
SpaceX's main innovation was that they decided to build a rocket that wasn't optimized for performance or reliability, but cost. They were willing to bear huge development risks to create a new price category and capture latent demand for cheaper launches.
Hm, possibly. Strongest Hydrogen push was like 15-20 years ago. Pivotal change to BEV right now is a trainwreck to current manager classes at the height of their career.
The NIH has already commenced a large clinical study of ivermectin (and other drugs) to see if it's effective. Despite politics the bureaucracy is still functioning.

If you wait to fill the dishwasher with its routine contents before running it, this is supposed to save the most detergent & water.

Now if you have at least two of every item that could be likely to be "in the dishwasher" at any one time, it would be ideal to also have maybe another whole dishwaher's load of cabinets & storage space to put it in.

That way you will actually have enough extra space to store basically two full loads of duplicate kitchenware when the dishwasher itself is truly empty.

You've got to have all these duplicate items and handy space and it barely cuts the odds in half that the item you want is going to still be in the dishwasher anyway.

At least that's how it works in the chemistry laboratory.

And if it needs to be analytically clean it's possible to make the data more meaningful by hand-washing the high-stakes items.
Yeah there's money to be made here!
You can reduce the impact of pagetable pointer chasing by using larger pages, although it's less space efficient to use 1GB pages for everything.

If you're careful about allocations and you trust all your software, and all of it is relocatable, you can run x86 without paging, but I think amd64 long mode requires paging to be enabled; and if you trusted all your software, you could turn off spectre/meltdown mitigations, too
John Campbell, the (in)famous editor of Analog Science Fact/ Science Fiction mag in the 50s-60s (and probably some years before and after) had a theory about tobacco smoke and fires. He reasoned that for thousands of years, people had tried to avoid smoke: campfires, chimneys, and so forth. But suddenly they took to one kind of smoke, that from tobacco. Obviously--he reasoned--it must be good for you.

I doubt he ever smoked weed.

First, thank you. I have been looking for a way to do this and came to the comments to see if there were workarounds to use composite actions without putting them in a separate repo.

Which brings me the second comment... this is proof the docs suck. I have looked and looked for any evidence that this exact scenario was possible. There are no examples or documentation of this feature anywhere that I could find.
Thanks for sharing. Best presentation of the data I have seen so far.
I got so sick of Reddit’s web interface pushing me to use their app or preventing me from reading threads on my phone unless I logged in, I registered a 6-character .com for the sole purpose of hosting my own libreddit instance.

So if I am viewing a reddit thread from a search result, for example, I can just double-tap the word “reddit” in the address bar, quickly tap “<mydomain>” then hit go.
The pills used for human use and the pills used for livestock are, in fact, different. Both contain ivermectin, but in not just different dosages, but with different active ingredients other than ivermectin designed to help deliver the drug in exact way required.

So, yes, please stop taking veterinary supplies as precautionary medication
1) That a lot of allergic reactions come from actually touching a dog or having the dog touch something; they don't need to leave fur behind for that to happen.

2) That licking hair/fur releases the same amount of dander, whether your shedding fur, hair, or neither. Matter is conserved.

3) That clumps of fur are easy to avoid.
What numbers are those? Or perhaps you even have a citation from work done on the topic by reputable physicists?
We wanted to have multiple service providers for Elastic. So if one company goes bad or raises prices (be it Elastic or Amazon or something else) we can move to a different one.
I'm very curious to know where and to what extent the symbolic approaches of the past (and present) meet with ML?

If you had a good answer to that, you'd probably be well on your way to a Ph.D., if not a Turing Award. The question of symbolic/sub-symbolic integration has been a big outstanding question in the AI world for a very long time now. I don't think many people were actively working on it for quite a while, but it seems like there has been at least a small uptick in interest in that idea recently. My personal belief is that this kind of integration will be essential, at least in the short term, to achieving something like what we might actually call AGI. And while I'm hardly alone in thinking this, this position is by no means universally held. There are people (Geoff Hinton among others, if memory serves correctly) who believe that "neural nets are completely sufficient".

And frankly, in the long (enough) term that might be right. Build ANN's that are sufficiently deep, sufficiently wide, and with just the right initial architecture, and maybe you get something that develops "the master algorithm" and figures it all out on its own. I think that's probably possible in principle; but my doubt about all of that is more about how realistic it is, especially over shorter time scales.

Anyway, if you're really interested in the topic, Ben Goertzel's OpenCog system includes a strong focus on symbolic/sub-symbolic integration, and borrows a lot of ideas from some well-known cognitive architecture work (LIDA, in particular).

Also, googling "symbolic / sub-symbolic integration" will turn up a ton of sites / papers / books / etc. that go into far more detail.

> Nearly all are open source and tracking free.

Just checked OpenSea - Google Analytics, Amplitude, DoubleClick, Cloudflare insights, plus error tracking from Sentry.

Zapper has Google Analytics and Amplitude. Click through to 'connect wallet' and you're now sending data to DoubleClick

Zerion has Google Analytics, plus Plausible Analytics for good measure. Then when you click through to "connect wallet", you get some bonus trackers: Cloudflare Insights, Amplitude of course, you get Rollbar for error tracking (which can leak data if misconfigured). There's also Intercom on the page, which collects a little bit of analytics while
it's doing its thing.

Diving in a little bit more:

- I can confirm that Zerion sends your wallet address to Amplitude, Sentry, and Plausible Analytics. It also sends the current value of your wallet to Amplitude, when you hit "Buy crypto" or "Send"
Which gets an officer no further than they were by itself. That accusation may slightly hurt your character if that officer testifies against you, but politely declining to give that info and remaining calm during the stop is the best chance you have of not being unnecessarily arrested.

A rogue officer acting under color of law with an axe to grind against you won’t act any differently if you are compliant with the social media handle info or not.

I have no money invested in solar, wind, or storage enterprises. To my shame.

My beef with fusion is about long-term hucksterism and wholly-legal corruption. STS, SLS, F-35, Big Dig, 2nd Ave, Cal bullet train, fission, fusion.

Dollars are fungible. Would fusion dollars otherwise go to renewables build-out? They might be more likely to go to battery, solar panel, superconducting power transmission, or carbon reclamation research. All of those would be welcome alternatives.

Even FRC fusion would be a better use of funding.
For me that's ecto (an elixir dsl for performing queries). The single defining improvement is I can define reusable building blocks. (This is also why I like react-style frameworks over raw js).

end
I'm with you on the advisory part.

My impression is that it's all about negotiating the interaction without winding up in a contest of your rights vs them doing their job. If it goes that way, it seems like "this guy was being a real asshole, boss" is all it takes from the officer for justification.

I guess, on the advisory front, tips on non-escalatory language are probably the biggest win.
I think these will solve that. If not, let me know.

Too bad we can't ask unwanted babies if they would rather have been born into a bad life.

This isn't directed at you, but I have had countless conversations about this very topic. The detriments are greatly overstated. I've found usually people are talking of these things outside looking in in an ideological vacuum, and not an experiential one.

Let's take societal outcomes for african americans, as an example. What people don't realize is, when people speak of abortions in a vaccuum (and lets be frank -- it's usually white liberals who champion it the hardest), the elephant in the room is with african american women carry out the disproportionate volume of abortions, and the the overwhelming majority of Planned Parenthood locations being located in poor and black neighborhoods. There is a large argument now that is catching on in many african american communities that maybe if we had the estimated 11 million more black babies born in this country, black representation would be much better off in all matters of the socioeconomic and political spheres, resulting in better lives overall for the general population. In 2015, in association with National Black Pro-Life Coalition, Protecting Black Life, and National Black Pro-Life Union met with CURE to deliver a congressional report detailing all of these facts, and making the strong case that the economic and societal impact of all the abortions in the black community is far greater. I encourage everyone to read it: https://www.congress.gov/115/meeting/house/106562/witnesses/...

I want to use Apple Pay wherever possible, because I find using Apple Pay on my Apple Watch at retail point of sale to be incredibly convenient.

I use Apple Pay all the time at Wawa, Wegmans, Target, and Apple stores, as well as some fast food and quick serve restaurants. I generally can't use Apple Pay at Home Depot or Walmart.
I'd hope someone would know fairly early in the pregnancy if they will be able to provide for a child or not. (i.e. before the baby can feel pain, is basically a complete human being, etc.)

That's why there's so much interest in defining limits around abortions. Late term abortions are pretty much described as horrific by the vast majority. There should be room for political agreement here.
Maybe it's just me, but I refuse to use third party actions in our build and deployment steps. It seems like such an obvious and avoidable attack surface to me, and one where an attached can have root on our production instances and at least some access to all developer machines.

No, it doesn't directly impact me, since I'm not planning on offering Elasticsearch as a managed cloud offering. But just because something doesn't benefit me personally doesn't mean that I shouldn't consider it a good thing. For example, I'm not a child and don't have cancer, but I'd still consider it a legitimate good thing if someone donated money to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Who do you use for your VPS provider? Those specs for that price are much better than what I typically see price wise on DigitalOcean, Linode, Vultr, AWS, etc.

I ignore docker myself. It's been too unstable for me and historically just costs me time, I'd rather just use systemd on a VPS. Occasionally when someone else has setup a complex system in docker I want to play with it has been convenient. Still, I avoid installing it at all.
AFAIK, lying to a local LEO is not always illegal. Lying to a federal officer is.

But I agree with the gist: just kindly decline.
> usually the issue is with your resume or application

The parent commentor stated that their cohort has seen evidence of systematic rejection of their resumes. It is a well-documented fact that this happens all the time for female-sounding, black-sounding etc names and pictures.

Suggesting that "no, it's probably just some missing fine tuning on your resume" doesn't really seem like the right response here...
The demountable magnets for ARC are so the blanket and vacuum vessel can be swapped out as a whole unit for replacement during maintenance. SPARC has no blanket and will only be used for some thousands of ten second shots or the equivalent of a week or two of continuous operation. The magnets being unshielded will probably fail before the vacuum vessel does.

CFS will be building a lot more magnets, not only for SPARC but for other customers, physics experiments and medical equipment, so I expect they will be working on many additional features including demountable joints for ARC.

One of the early tests they did of the VIPER cable at the SULTAN test facility in Switzerland involved a joint formed by clamping the ends of two cables to a copper bar. It does show that resistive joints are possible with HTS cables, unlike LTS cables, but the actual configuration of a joint for a large magnet is obviously a different matter. Luckily they will have a few years to work on it.
Is it still one action per repo?
No sorry, it is my numbers that are outdated. I was referencing a 2015 congressional report. Abortion rates have been declining sharply over the past few years, so that's good news at least.
I've been testing out Github Actions for a few weeks now, for the most part I really like it, there are a few features missing but I think the fundamentals of the product are solid with the public catalogue of actions being the killer feature.

The biggest issue I have is around self-hosted runners.

1. There's no official auto-scaling runner option, so even if you're paying Github (aka Microsoft) for Enterprise - they're not going to support your auto-scaling EKS/GKE/EC2/whatever runners.

2. You can't register self-hosted runners without a Personal Access Token - the key word being _Personal_. Your automation code for provisioning runners should not rely on an individuals Github access token just to register, they need to have a system like GitLab has where you can generate a registration token per-organisation/team/repo that allows you to programmatically register runners.
Inspiration 4, the private mission scheduled to launch next week, will be the furthest a manned mission has gone from earth since the last space shuttle Hubble servicing mission over a decade ago. Hubble is only about 100km higher than ISS.

In this case, which copyleft license would help them?

If they use GPL, it makes no difference as Amazon can still run it but if they use AGPL orgs would blacklist this because they don't want to be forced to open-source the rest of their code for their "elasticsearch integration"
Well then. I stand corrected.
Exploring the Amiga – Part 1 (2018)
I just understand that people who run companies aren't looking to have a 0% profit margin.
I got one about 2.5 months ago. (Called "Novete" in the US, AINX in Japan -- names in other countries may vary.) It works pretty well, but there's no pre-wash cycle. "Finish" tabs sometimes left behind a thin oil film on all dishes when the dishwasher was at full capacity. I obtained a reportedly better detergent now (only available locally), not tabs but powder, and am using more, or less, depending on how full the dishwasher is, and haven't had any problems since. The tray is showing some discoloration -- maybe using too much detergent? There is some very minor leakage when the door is open -- the rubber has become slightly loose at the edge. Pushing it in a bit after opening the door effectively fixes the problem. Doesn't look like it could turn into a problem while actually in use.

I really like that I don't have to bend over in order to load/unload it. Inspecting it to search for potential problems is very easy too -- maybe I wouldn't have been able to decide whether the minor leakage I mentioned above was a major problem or something that can be mostly ignored. I also really like that the door is see-through. You can easily tell what objects is causing noises or if the rotors are rotating properly.

I use it every day, so probably 100 times already at this point. I wish it was more programmable, but it's very set in its ways. I fill up the tank manually, and the drain hose leads into a bucket. Also wish it was a bit quieter.
Please tell me how an Avalanche blockchain is able to handle billions of global P2P transactions a day.
Funny enough, 5G (electromagnetic waves) are enough to cause DNA damage in cells, but your skin prevents a lot of them from getting in. Presumably the skin cells themselves are shed before they mutate I guess? Anyway, agencies of the WHO have labeled EMF “potentially carcinogenic”. Here is from 2019:

https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/we-have-no... (Scientific American)

Yet the capitalist industry pushes it into all the cities now, so we’ll be surrounded by It on every city block. The skin is the only reason the cells inside humans and pets are safe from all this EM radiation. Here are a few references:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41370-021-00297-6 (Nature Magazine 2020)

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6765906/ (National Institutes of Health)

This is not the case for insects, though, as their epithelial cels do not form such a protective barrier. I would not be surprised if cellphone towers, wifi and other radiomagnetic waves are killing off the insects around cities. Their skin doesn’t actually block all those waves!

PS: I am not an expert, but is the 5G for cellphone mini towers the same as the 5G for wifi networks? Because we have been around those for a decade now.

EDIT: Why all the downvotes? This is relevant basic information that not everyone here knows, with references to mainstream publications that go more in depth for anyone who is interested.

I think the SPARC guys are going to eat all the CANDU tritium before ITER ever gets a chance light up.
