Thanks. I ended up shutting it down around 2013, for a few reasons. One was that large casino software had moved into Bitcoin space and I couldn't compete against companies that were licensed in a way that allowed them to advertise. I wasn't making enough money from it to be worth waking up all hours to handle bug reports and manage the community, while also worrying about my bank account and keeping an eye on Bitcoin fluctuations. And another reason was that the platform / "gaming OS" was built around opening resizable/dockable windows for multiple games inside a single browser tab, meant to run full screen, and written completely in Flash AS3. By 2013 it was apparent that the front end platform was going to have to be completely rewritten for mobile, either native or JS. The site actually had run on iphone and droid before the flash plugin was removed, although it wasn't optimized for touch. But canvas drawing tools to do the kinds of things it did were in their infancy; things like a variable speed embedded video with a 3d ball physics simulation overlayed for the roulette table would probably be hard to accomplish even now. The headaches associated with running tech support, mostly alone on a daily basis, while also holding down a regular job and caring for a sick partner, made the idea of porting half a million lines of code daunting to say the least. And at the end of the day, without an injection of capital to license and white label the software, it wasn't really worth it.

So I went down a rabbit hole of trying to license the software for in-room gaming on cruise ships and Vegas hotel casinos. But Bally and Caesars pretty much dominated that space... if you even want to get a new game certified by the Nevada Gcb you have to put $100k down, non-refundable, for them to review the software (per game) and then they might start a review in a year or two. Bally gets to cut the line. I also had trouble trying to patent my original games. And of course, the world was coming closer to a consensus that Bitcoin would have to be regulated. So one day, I refunded all my players their balances and turned off the lights.
You could achieve more life by reactivating more regeneration, but DNA replication is costly when you do it over and over again, damaging telomeres.[1]

And uncontrolled regeneration can give you tumors [citation needed], so there is no easy path other than your own genetics or having a good lifestyle.

That would be the least of its problems.

Costing hundreds or thousands of times as much as solar + storage is a more serious problem. Since it won't be built, that is a theoretical problem. But the project can absorb an unlimited amount of money first.

For me, that’s targeting the same spendable money as the 95th percentile household who is earning a wage (paying high taxes on that), paying for a house, feeding two late model mid-luxury cars, and saving aggressively for retirement and college.

So, significantly less than what would be needed to hit $250K of pre-tax money ($6M or so), but rather a paid-off house (taxes and insurance only), no further college or retirement savings, tax-optimized withdrawals, and buying health insurance as the major effects. I’m guessing that it’s less than half of $6M (in today’s money) and probably under $2M to hit a 90th percentile spendable money figure.
Everything I like, and hate, about this place comes down to the community. Features don't mean much either way.

That said, I'd like to be able to change my username and be able to archive or delete my content at will. Even a pseudonymous identity and history on any platform can be a liability these days.
I took two psych classes in University. One was "Death and Dying". Perhaps a morbid class to take in your 20s, but it was a full class. The professor happened to be dying herself as she taught it. Very useful and enjoyable. It's one of the few textbooks I've kept since the long-ago graduation. A very useful course to take.
I am surprised everyone is blaming K8s for eating Docker's lunch but from my experience in the banking industry.. it was cloudfoundry that stole the market away from Docker swarm.I don't think I ever saw a Docker swarm in production; IT departments standardized on cloudfoundry to manage their "private/on-prem cloud".

Just checked it out. I like the idea of BuildJet. Something dead simple like this is what I've been looking for.

The biggest problem is that I don't feel comfortable putting our IP out on a server managed by a small provider. If you had an offering where I could self-host, I'd be very interested.

BTW. You have a broken link to "Privacy" from the "Terms" page.
I completely agree about the fragrances. I hate them, and I'm happy to hear that it's getting better.

> And EWG is one of the most competent, clear, and level-headed organizations working in this space. They provide scientifically supported, solid, and well-researched information in an easy to understand format.

Like I said, they do some good work, but they do some really shoddy, clickbaity stuff too, and this detergent link is a good example. You can tell it was written by people with no knowledge of chemistry.

> I don't think you are qualified to criticize them given what you wrote above.

Instead of an ad-hominim, are you able to defend the EWG's assertions? For example, can you explain why the EWG says a tiny amount of nitric acid used to adjust pH is a hazard of any kind? Can you explain why they think that any nitric acid could possibly survive in the finished alkaline product, or why it would be a problem even if it did? Can you find any studies or evidence of any kind to back them up?

How about the zinc? Or any of the others that I mentioned earlier?

Honestly this isn't difficult. It's not advanced chemistry. It's chemistry 101. EWG has no excuse for not knowing better.
It read to me like that's how many you can bring in, so it is possible to save the extras if you somehow have any.

> No type checker can catch all buggy programs (that involve solving the halting problem).

It's far worse than that, the problem is that the machine can't know what was intended. The result 5 from calling sum([1,2,1,1]) makes sense, but alas this function was intended to produce the product not the sum, the inputs were supposed to be [1,2,3,4] and the desired result was 24... the machine can't hope to guess that.

A program may be buggy even if it its meaning is transparent and exactly reflects its effect, simply because it doesn't reflect the intention of the person who wrote the wrong program.

This quote is attributed to Babbage:

'On two occasions I have been asked, – "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" ... I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question'

But that is what we wanted, even if we obviously can't have it.
I don't think it's a failure to describe how it works so much as a long running publicity campaign dedicated to circulating inaccurate but emotive claims. There's a small army of people who get paid to write op-eds about small farmers being forced of their land by the cruel gubmint etc. etc., just there is about many other fake controversies, from tobacco to fossil fuels.

You can explain how things work until you're blue in the face but it's not very effective if there's someone who's perfectly happy to lie, whether implicitly or (increasingly) explicitly. An awkward fact about propaganda and publicity campaigns is that the people who are articulating them don't necessarily need to believe in them, or even have others believe in them (though that helps). Professing the belief publicly can be an effective social signal for recognizing and cooperating with peers, as wella s identifying antagonists - think of the delight some political actors have in 'triggering' those with whom they disagree. One does not need to care about the issue oneself; political currency can be made out of simply upsetting other people, for both identification and entertainment purposes.

The new device has 17% improved battery capacity which allows it to maintain the same battery life at 2/3 the size. Not groundbreaking overall, but could make a big impact for wearables. 2mm shaved off an Apple watch, for example, would make it way more comfortable.

These projects are a source of fascination to me, however a persistent question for me is how do these more symbolic approaches to cognitive modelling figure in today's world of ML and data-driven AI? I'm very curious to know where and to what extent the symbolic approaches of the past (and present) meet with ML?
I ask because you clearly have some exposure to these sorts of projects - any sources you can provide would be appreciated.
If you don't mind humoring me. What kind of slot is better for a plodding dev who checks all the tech boxes?
Cognitive architecture research is an interesting mix of AI and cognitive science. It's a different approach from the usual: get a ton of data and train a neural network.

I had the privilege of taking multiple AI classes taught by Professor Laird during my masters. He is a great person. I learned a lot from him, both intellectually and personally. Here's a recent video overview of Soar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUiWk-DqLaA
Does Podman do a better job avoiding bloat in the development workflow? That’s been a major thing with docker for me, it spins up a new layer whenever I try to do send an arbitrary command to a running vm, which with development (PHP) I find this is something I have to do often, so these layers add up quickly
I think when people mention ideas like taking a hit to business profit margins vs the new boiler plate "it will increase consumer costs" they're typically not talking about Bill's Steak House down the street, they're talking about businesses with massive profit margins that are ruling over larger and generalized markets, at least that's what I read.

With that said the resutraunt labor rate is a bit misleading because businesses are required to pay the standard minimum wage or more in some areas. $2.13 is only what's paid if $2.13 + total tips average out to more or above what the person would earn at minimum wage. This means it's returaunt goers subsidizing business labor expenses. Now, one could argue if that's good/not or if the minimum wage is too low and I'd agree with them but the whole $2.13 or whatever figure touted around is misleading, it's absolutely not that low and if it is, it's illegal and wage theft.
Individual servers have domain names but only as a convenience. The network can outlive any particular domain.
Your response is dripping with sarcasm. Why do you have such hatred of white men in particular?

Also, why are you making this about race? The basis of the article was about how men are not getting the support they need. Why do you keep bringing “white men” into it?

All we’re taking about is recognizing that there are support services provided to women which are not provided to men, and there is no reason that men shouldn’t also need such services.

These are simply facts stated in the article.

What have you got against men that makes you want to deny them the same services as women?

Is it your opinion that white men, or men in general are somehow less deserving than young women? Or perhaps you think young men are inherently superior to women and therefore don’t have the same needs.

It’s not clear which it is. Only you can tell us.
For most healthy individuals, boosting with a 1st gen S-protein based vaccine is either insane or extremely ignorant.

For healthy people not of extreme age, antibodies are ramped significanty within 10 days of infection.

For those that still want to boost, at least raise your antibodies via a broad spectrum vaccine (eg. Covaxin).
Me too but I am old.
Good. I wonder if some of this mess could have been avoided if AWS had used a different name to begin with.
in one view, most everyone is dying, while they read this.. a colleague did some hospice volunteer work for a while, and I made sure to quietly mention to her that I found it commendable and important.
Almost certainly designed to ASHRAE 62.2's specs so that you get enough ventilation through a combination of infiltration (leakage) and additional mechanical ventilation. It's certainly worth it and if designed as a continuous ventilation fan should be one of the lower (~15W) draw units. Not sure how to really measure effectiveness other than by trusting in the experts who came up with the spec and air quality as an indirect measure.

Oh that's a really good argument as to why we accept numerous restrictions on personal freedom, and broad survillance by the state: because if you weigh it rightly, a thousand beaurocratic sounding papercuts, allow you to walk down dark alleyways without fear.

> It is kinda odd that this sentiment also often comes out of a country where some farmers fought off the country with the biggest navy

With help from the country with the biggest army and the biggest ongoing beef with the country with the biggest navy.

But, I guess, its still a little surprising, since that part gets minimized in the farmers national mythology.
A keen sense of irony.
My first few domain names were registered in 1995 when the turn-around time on the email template was about three weeks. I barely missed registering kl.com. There was a minor error on my template (name servers). Three weeks later I got the error message and immediately resubmitted but someone else had also submitted a registration in the meantime and theirs was processed before mine. I had to settle for kl.net.
a great piece of trivia related to this point is that the original k8s developers tried to convince Docker to adopt the pod concept:

They also removed the little RSS icon that shows up in the URL bar on autodiscovery of RSS feeds by HTML head entries. That hurts RSS far more than removing the render did. It's part of a series of intentional moves to depreciate RSS and Atom.

obviously, using OCR or retyping you will create a new document, but it will be a forgery of documents, which is a court case. Our technology is created to secure documents with sensitive information that has value only when you have real evidence in the format of this document (its photo, screenshot, scan, hard copy). Our cases are when people take a photo of the confidential contracts, instructions, data from CRM or when they share sensitive documents with contractors

It is "mind-boggling" compared to the size of similar animals at the time. Half a meter might sound short, but I'd say it would be mind-boggling to find a half-meter long ant, spider or bee in a forest, for example. Not so big compared to all animals that ever existed, but massive compared to similar animals at the time.
Hard to prosecute as such since people would just argue: 'it fell off. You didn't notice. I didn't notice, thus no reason to send me to prision.'

Much easier to hit someone with civil liabilities, especially if you prove they have a pattern of things 'falling off'.

I've used similar tools (which I'm not going to recommend, as they have not aged well), and found it great to be able to rely on the compiler for checks. With ORMs or SQL I realized I would be better off working in Python, as without the compile time checks I got none of the benefits of Go and all the down sides. I haven't used sqlc, but do like that you just feed it queries. Other tools rely on using a templating language to generate the Go code from database schema introspection, and it is just awful to work with. Generics should do away with needing the templates, so maybe the database schema introspection approach will improve.

I don’t get how anything about this is worse.

That $11m or $22m was already taxed and the person who earned it paid the government an unusually large sum of money for the privilege of being successful. Why should they get to double dip? The government taxes everything you earn, all the interest you earn on that money, all the property you buy, and all of the goods and services you buy. It then taxes the person selling those goods and services for the privilege of selling them. Any time a dollar hits the economy it’s probably been taxed 6 or 7 times. And for all this what do we get? Subpar infrastructure and bloated government programs that enrich bureaucrats.
A full-fidelity brain scan (done using a giant X-ray free electron laser) will probably vaporize your brain in the process of scanning it. Not vaporizing your brain could imply missed data.
You could similarly say that Apache did the hard work with Lucene, then Elastic came and took it. Except, of course, if you think that simply hosting is not worth any money, but then Elastics own paid offering is void as well.

I really don't fault Elastic for disliking the situation; someone making billions with you work while you're still counting coins sucks. But they reached their size due to OpenSource and AWS, so painting them as the profitless victim really does not show the whole picture. And their handling of the situation so far was horrible; they've even gone so far as to embed code in their client libraries so that they don't work with Amazons offering.

So yes, in conclusion, Amazon really has the moral high ground here.

But we make those choices every single day, gathering data about it doesn't change that fact.

Most people who die in a car crashes would have been saved if we made the speed limit 25mph and enforced it with speed cameras, but that would be inconvenient for everyone else. There are plenty of very rare diseases that kill people each year, we don't spend as much money on them because it isn't worth it to just save a few lives each year relative to what we could be spending it on. Many flu deaths could be prevented each year if we just closed down every nonessential business during flu season, but we are OK with some people dying so we can gather socially, even if we don't have to.

I think doing cost benefit analysis for deaths and lost years of life would be great, and would allow us to make more logical decisions. Of course no one wants their child or family member to die, but the reality is that if you want to setup society to just stop deaths at all cost, you are going to have a pretty miserable population. And if you don't do any cost benefit, you will actually be allowing more people to die by spending money in places where it isn't the most effective.
I agree on PM2.5 but gas is clearly worse from a CO2 (and other combustion byproducts) point of view compared to induction which is limited to 'just' the food items and the containers they're in.
If you don't decide it now and write it down in a living will, you may be unable to make that decision when you need to.
I don't know what is actually done, but I would think you can do things like milliseconds between keystrokes, or distance mouse moved modulo 2 to generate randomness. That said I agree with your point humans are not random.
GP is trying to point out that "200mm telescope" here means 200mm in diameter, not whatever arbitrary thing "200mm" apparently means in photography. The unit conversion adds more confusion, I don't know why they did that.
It's all entirely outdated and should be replaced by cryptocurrency.

Or you would encourage the already-sedentary people to go out even less.
Of course high speed limits aren't the only factor in traffic deaths. But if we set every speed limit to 25mph and enforced it, I'm pretty confident we would see a significant drop. Obviously we shouldn't do that, but the point is that we are allowing some people to die so we can get places faster.
