I think that opinion is complacent... spawned out of modern wealth and qualify of life.

Liberty is incredibly broad.if you're approach to the constitution (which I think many today share) is that you may restrict anything that isn't specifically mentioned then you are missing the whole point. Eventually aspects of life/liberty that you hold important will be restricted by those who share your approach.
It does have consequences in some, e.g. teenagers are more likely to be hospitalised for a side effect of the vax than they are to be hospitalised for covid: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.30.21262866v...

I had an extremely bad experience with Namecheap with an extremely high value domain (5 letters, dictionary word.) They had a fault on their backend and dropped my domain where it got picked up by a parking service. This happened despite me having paid in advance on time for over a decade.
After weeks of going back and forth with Namecheap management I contacted an attorney. Some research hours later we find out Namecheap has absolutely 0 western presence other than some extremely low value holdings companies. In the event you have an issue with Namecheap you would need to go through the Ukrainian court system which isn’t feasible for westerners. I had to write off a domain with a 5 figure valuation due to their incompetence.

High value domains use Mark Monitor. It is their entire businesss and most importantly they’re US based.

I can't speak much about Rails, as I've only played with it. But I've used a lot Django in the past.

Regarding the Django admin (in rails you have ActiveAdmin[1]) think of it just as a glorified database explorer. It is an internal tool for developers, product managers and maybe for your support team. It is in no way thought to be used by end users. Every attempt I've seen to use it as such was a catastrophic failure.

With Django, if you know plain HTML and CSS, with the tools I've mentioned in the comment you're responding to, you can build almost anything... For example, let's say you need a highly interactive client side table.... you can always just attach a Vue or a React component for it by using Unpoly compilers [2].

I'd say this stack is less useful the more your app needs to work fully offline... but if you don't have that constraint... I cannot think of anything that can't be built faster and safer. Just an example: Authentication is something very risky to do your self, and has ton of corner cases. In Django just plug django-allauth, configure a few settings and done! You have a rock solid battle tested well documented authentication system, which otherwise would take you months or years to get right (both featuer, and security wise). Check django-packages too [3].

And regarding learning resources, the official documentation is awesome. You have also popular books such as Two Scoops Of Django among others. And almost all video learning platforms have quite decent courses.

The infectious nature is crazy. They also jump between boundaries of libraries and projects through dependencies. Thanks to async, most libraries in Rust now force addition of tokio which in turn convert more libraries into async. There should be some kind of compatibility layer that lets non async functions call async without jumping through hoops. As it stands async is more infectious than T-virus and Covid.
I was not familiar with these syscalls. Are they primarily in a “if you build it they will come” stage right now? Or is there an upswing of usage in the BSD world? Does the Linux kernel have any analog to pledge and unveil?
Yeah I thought the list of maintainers for bash and curl were pretty short (like one or two people each).
Yes it is, it just spreads memetically rather than a virally.

"the researchers found that obesity spreads through social ties. When an individual gains weight, it dramatically increases the chances that their friends, siblings, and spouses will likewise gain weight. The closer two people are in a social network, the stronger the effect."

Children in families with obese parents are more likely to be obese, which ought to be obvious because they live on the same diets and same behavioural patterns. Overweight friends tend to have other overweight friends, and are naturally more tolerant of it. Pay close attention to social circles and try to figure out what the tolerance towards obesity is within groups of say, thin girls compared overweight ones and how that modulates their behavior.

This is not limited to obesity of course, drug use, smoking in particular behaviour that is addictive essentially spreads through social circles like a disease. Try to model the opioid epidemic (the word is chosen for a reason) like one and you would surely find the exact same patterns. These are not geographically or demographically random processes, they're transmitted within communities.

What a bizarre, deranged accusation. The CDC is hardly anti-vaxx. Rather the opposite
I don't think the backyard idiot would have this in their backyard: https://amsat-dl.org/en/20-meter-antenna/ which is what they used to receive this. Sending control commands would be even harder. Mars is far. But for earth orbiting says this is more of a risk indeed.

The uplink (control commands)would be encrypted for sure but the downlink (telemetry) is often not for scientific missions. For military or commercial it's a different thing obviously.

Even SpaceX' launch cams (downlink) were not encrypted for a while and amateurs received them. Only when this made the news they started encrypting them. Probably because they do military launches too (the cameras for those on their web feed shut down when the payload is visible, but this would possibly show those)

I feel like the entire comment thread after yours has gotten lost in hypothetical discussions about some ethical question about interventions that haven’t been shown to work. Not quite the usual dialog I expected here.

What the CDC recently said is that vaccination also reduces your chance of reinfection significantly, at near zero risk. So universal vaccination is a strictly dominant strategy for personal health, with or without any other interventions (diet, exercise, etc). Why wouldn’t a non-political organization recommend universal vaccination therefore (above age 12)? It makes for simple, cheap, and effective messaging.

If they said not to take a care of your health in some other equally proven way, then it would likely seem to be politically motivated and damage their trustworthiness. That probably has happened too (such as saying to mask outside, until they got more data), but we aren’t blindly trusting them in this, or anything.
They are as reproducible as you can get with C builds and far more reproducible than most other build systems across many different languages.

Recessions are when retail banks are most in demand, I don't think that's their reason for exiting.

They got massive fines and dragged in the press for the crime of doing money transfers to and from Mexico; they're heavily pressured by the government to provide international transfers and then blamed as soon as one of those transfers goes to someone bad. They've probably reached a point where the only winning move is not to play.

There are normally at least two radio links: telemetry and telecommand. Some spacecraft have multiple of each, with at least one channel of each being some sort of emergency channel where you can only do the most basic ops or get the most basic data.

As the sibling comment mentions, command signals are normally at least signed, and many times also encrypted.

Telemetry is way less sensitive, so it is usually not encrypted in scientific missions. There are well known protocols for space communications (e.g. CCSDS, PUS), so once you figure out a few fields you can make educated guesses of what each byte is. A previous post of the linked blog discusses it in detail: https://destevez.net/2020/08/tianwen-1-telemetry-framing-and...

Even without the actual telemetry, there are many things you can guess about the satellite attitude from just observing the radio signal. Many satellite and radio amateurs love doing that!

No offense, but I use Firefox across windows, Linux, macOS, and Android without any problems. I suspect you're seeing hardware issues or just trolling. Firefox may not be perfect but shouldn't behave the way you're describing. I agree it's not as fast as blink based browsers, but the issues you're calling out are not common unless your system is doing something weird to break it.

> Parent suggested that Sweden would not need fossil fuels when using nuclear power to stabilize their grid.

That’s not “nukes as the sole source of electricity”. Sweden has huge amounts if hydro, it accounts for 50% of their productions.

> Still, even in the days you picked, they are running 5% on gas.

How much of that is cogeneration? You can’t shut off a cogeneration plant, it does not just produce electricity.
How limiting is the fact that the telescope can’t be aimed, but is moving with the moons rotation?

Naively I’d assume that beyond the inability to aim it as a specific spot, it would also mean that we can’t do a long exposure of anything, as the image would get smeared with the moon’s movement.
I encourage everyone to get vaccinated if they can, but vaccination doesn't stop the spread of the virus. It probably slows the spread, which is good, but the magnitude is unclear.

they only exist on OpenBSD. They're used a lot for default OpenBSD binaries, but they are mostly hopeless for openbsd developers/porters to try to apply to portable software after the fact if the upstream devs aren't supporting that work.

(There are other mechanisms like containers or freebsd' jail that try to accomplish the same thing, but those tend to be "lots of functionality inside the sandbox" solutions, whereas openbsd is mostly aiming for "allow nothing besides the minimum in the sandbox".

I will not be compelled into treatment by the Government. Simple as that. I control my body, and I don't give a damn whose patience is wearing thin.
It only starts as a 'minor' constitutional crisis.

Trump can take to the streets and declare himself president for the next term because the election results were not validated.

He can challenge the 'never used' legal procedures in court and of course have his lawyers lie about it in public.

They could fire up enough people and get enough momentum so that a few Republicans could be pressured to not vote to validate the election results.

If he refused to physically leave the White House - who would make him leave? Imagine if he invited his supporters to 'come to Washington to Defend the President' and they set up camp by the thousands around the WH. And they'd be armed. Is the National Guard going to start shooting? The longer Trump stays there, the more entrenched his legitimacy.

Especially if there is violence, it'd really flare tensions.

If people believe that the election was stolen, they'd also be hard pressed to be told what the actual, legal procedures are for dealing with a failed vote validation, and so it would be a matter of populism as much as legality.

That's how coups happen: enough political, populist, physical force to carry the momentum beyond established legal norms.
One thing I learned recently is that salted butter used to be much, much saltier for preservation. People basically washed it with water to reduce the salt content before eating it.

Stop lying. I made no such claim.
CIM/WBEM goes all the way back to 1996. They essentially wanted a management infrastructure on all kinds of devices (including different architectures, so actually C made sense then), but that also notably included remote access. At the time, SOAP was still popular, so here we are with a rather silly transport protocol and all kinds of overhead reinventing things like SSH. However, the overall goal still makes sense, it was essentially a way of 'object'-ifying everything from logs to other metrics. This fit in with the overall mode of thinking in MS with DCOM and COM (and registry), and structured configuration/management. I'm sure it's paid massive dividends on Azure Linux infrastructure. For highly structured objects, SOAP and XML aren't a terrible fit, but I doubt many people would do the same thing again today.

Honestly, they just needed to rewrite it in a safer stack. However, that still may not have saved them from all these vulnerabilities, given the scope of what they're implementing as remote management protocols. The relative scrutiny, fuzzing and manpower just hasn't been there, especially when it's obfuscated by various layers.

You're still being dishonest when you leave out that THE CDC SAID AT THE TIME THAT THEIR CURRENT RECOMMENDATIONS WERE BASED ON THE A AVAILABILITY OF MASKS TO MEDICAL WORKERS.

The CDC states what their rational is, they update their recommendations with new information, and they act in the public interest. Anti-vaxxers do none of those.

That's almost certainly not what happened. While your body will get more efficient in starvation conditions it takes time and doesn't start instantly. There are certain biases that people have with weight loss and eating that are very common and result in less results than you expect.

There's a good chance your "probable" bmr was overestimating calorie burn. If you were basing calories burned in exercise from what a machine at the gym was telling you, it almost certainly overstated the calorie burn. Unless you meticulously weighed everything you put in your mouth you probably ate more calories than you think you did. Even if you did measure everything carefully and accurately, there's some degree of error in the nutrition data on packaging.

The truth is that you probably didn't have a 1000 cal daily deficit for 2 months. That kind of deficit should drop your weight by about 15 lbs in that time. Even fairly extreme fluid fluctuations wouldn't cover that weight loss unless you started dehydrated and fairly overweight.

Scientists Can Now Assemble Entire Genomes on Personal Computers in Minutes
Very recently implemented a "lakehouse" in Azure with Databricks and ADLS. So far the enterprise is pleased with it. Our traditional IT EDW developers like it because they can use modern software development practices (source control, CI, unit tests, etc) to build their ETL jobs. Our data analysts like it because the can get access quickly to semi-raw data (we transform it into the delta format before they can access it). As an architect I enjoy it because of how many options I have for moving data around, not to mention how easy and fast things can scale.

The biggest challenge I have is dealing with the fact that I now have an impressive amount of "python developers" doing whatever they can to solve their problems. I genuinely think we're improving the ability of our business to do analytics on top of our enterprise data, but sometimes I worry about the amount of technical debt we just allowed to accrue.
My point is copyright duration should never have grown beyond 5-10 years to begin with. I'm not saying copyright should expire if the person dies.

I don't understand. Why do you think that?
I understand the point. I’m from the Midwest in the US. Corn everywhere. Cows everywhere. My family drank cow’s milk and ate meat at every single meal. It was something deeply ingrained in the culture I grew up in. This also basically went along with the norms of my heritage. I no longer eat meat or drink milk but I don’t feel any less connected to my heritage and culture. It’s different for everyone.
It even had a creepy ad with a man skiing taking photos or something with a stranger (woman) in it.

You are asking to predict what people will do in the future. Not a historically profitable venture. Having the Monsoon rains stop dropping snows into the Himalayas would be super bad. Just flooding Bangladesh with a meter or few meters would displace a lot of people less popular than Floridians. Is Montana going to take a few million Muslim refugees?

But maybe like Kim Stanley Robinson’s recent book, it will all work together and we will make a new carbon based cryptocurrency backed by the bankers, switch to blimps and all ends well. I have kids and am teaching them to corporate with people rather than become preppers, so I guess I am optimistic de facto.

From the foreword to the World Obesity report, COVID-19 and Obesity: The 2021 Atlas [1]:

> As we show in this report, increased bodyweight is the second greatest predictor of hospitalisation and a high risk of death for people suffering from COVID-19. Only old age rates as a higher risk factor.

> Reducing one major risk factor, overweight, would have resulted in far less stress on health services and reduced the need to protect those services from being overwhelmed.

> We show that in those countries where overweight affects only a minority of the adult population, the rates of death from COVID-19 are typically less than one tenth the levels found in countries where overweight affects the majority of adults.

> We also show that the drivers of overweight – especially high levels of consumption of processed foods – are associated with mortality from COVID-19.

The report itself goes into much greater detail, is very readable and interesting, and I highly recommend it.

I'm not an expert, but I don't think that's completely true. The Romans conquered Greece and then Greek culture conquered Rome. I'm not aware that they viewed the Persians, Egyptians or Carthaginians as barbarian either.
Unless barbarian strictly means foreign, rather than uncivilized.

I wasn't able to find a super authoritative source, but here's a PBS [1] article that lays out the basics - the Romans allowed the Jews to worship their own deity and follow their own practices, and Pompey, Caesar and Augustus all maintained that protection into the early imperial era. They were treated like clients, rather than being subjugated, until the rebellions.

YIMBY Action is growing nationally. We have a YIMBY group where I live in Oregon, and we signed up as a chapter.

Strong Towns is great, and if you have the money, definitely send some their way. But YIMBY Action has more actionable advice, more tools to run campaigns, and get people involved, and in general feels like it's getting more done. I happily share a lot of Strong Towns articles, because they're very applicable to the city I live in, and am a member, but if you want to go beyond sharing articles, I think YIMBY Action is where it's at.
DrumGizmo – drum synth VST which is open source and cross-platform
I've been using this drum VST extensively for past months, and to my taste it's better than most non-free VST synths.

1) Everybody else is using the same non-free VSTs and everybody else sound the same. This VST has a unique (quite raw) sound and it's much better.

2) This is the only drum VST which is available on Linux, Windows, and Mac

3) It has several drumkits
