Right, you can do this to some extent with midwest angel / VC. If you stay out of coastal VC, you can a bit more modest, but the trend for even midwest VC seems to be pushing for unicorns lately...
Yes, but, I think this is where we need to go.

We can super-early detect some cancers now, via blood tests. vitamin deficiencies. A plethora of conditions and diseases, early on, too.

Why not test all these things at once, and improve health?
Wouldn't that depend on whether the test was harmful? Why would a blood test cause me harm? I think its a part of routine physical.
As someone who runs one of those Discord servers, let me say that the rules have a purpose. Lots of people will jump in and post their question in the first channel they happen to see without looking into which channel would be appropriate (or worse, post it in every channel). Or they'll @-message or PM every mod. Or their attitude will be nasty, treating volunteer helpers like a personal servant. There will be posted rules saying not to do these things, but they'll do them anyway.

When a mod confronts them over a violation, they'll say something like "Oh. Sorry. But now that I have your attention, can you help me with this quick thing?" Mods who deal with this stuff over and over will start getting tyrannical with their rule-enforcement, and I don't blame them.
I think he meant that those are the skills required to maintain the project, since iOS moves very fast and each major update breaks the virtualizer.
What's the connection between aluminum (Al) and ammonium phosphate (NH4)3.PO3 ?
There is a compatibility layer but it is not complete.

One of Deno's objectives is not to expose V8 internals, so node packages relying on those will be harder to port
Hope this isnt too pedantic but as "noise" is commonly perceived as higher freq (ignoring aliasing) I think low-pass is meant to imply removing the "noise" in your pipeline. Your interpretation makes sense if freq == quality, but statistically a high pass output has higher variance, so sounds like the opposite of the intended effect
It's a monopolistic market. There are 2 (vodafone and telekom) country wide providers with the same prices and some smaller regional providers. The quality of the so called "fiber" is absymal. When it rains expect big interruptions in connectivity (fiber 1Gbps ). Pages take sometimes even 1 minute to load. The only thing that works well is the speed test.

All the <10 yr old spec houses in housing estate near me have got huge mould problems as somebody cut corners on either the installation of the insulation, the detailed design of the floor/ground connection or the ventilation, or all three. In the UK spec housing has a reputation for being very poorly built. Try claiming anything under a building warranty and you'll realise you get nothing more than minor cosmetic repairs without going up against the warranty company's lawyers.
The original blog post is pretty silly for a number of reasons, but I think this reply post is also pretty bad. For instance, the author makes it sounds like cheaper and better prisons would be a bad thing:

> In other words, when Snow focuses on making prison safer and cheaper, he’s working on the wrong problem...If your solution only mitigates the symptoms of a deeper problem, you may be calcifying that problem and making it harder to change. Cheaper, safer prisons make it easier to incarcerate more Americans and avoid addressing fundamental problems of addiction, joblessness, mental illness and structural racism.

He later goes on to dismiss worries about violence in prison, and chalks up the fear to people like Shane imagining the people in prison as being "so other." Prison violence is a very real problem, and it's hard to feel like someone actually cares about the prisoners when they're casually dismissing it like this and acting as if it's misguided to try to make prisons safer. The other issues he talks about are important, but they don't negate the importance of improving prisons. It's like arguing that the worries about the Boeing 737 Max are unimportant because we should be riding high speed trains instead of flying.

Furthermore, there seems to be a severe lack of imagination. For instance, he writes:

> Furthermore, will contact with humans through virtual worlds mitigate the mental problems prisoners face in isolation or exacerbate them? How do we answer any of these questions ethically, given the restrictions we’ve put on experimenting on prisoners in the wake of Nazi abuse of concentration camp prisoners.

He's not wrong that switching prisoners who are used to human interaction into isolation with VR seems like it would end up badly. But a mere two paragraphs before this, he writes about how there are already supermax prisons (among others) where the prisoners are isolated. We wouldn't need to do Nazi-esque experiments to see if VR has potential, we could offer it to prisoners who are already isolated. I can't see how it wouldn't be an improvement for most of those who are already isolated.

Again, I don't disagree that the original article was extremely goofy. But this response doesn't seem to be much better, especially for someone who teaches courses on social change.
I think its great that you have that option.
> So did our Deep State as they lost a twenty year fight against the Taliban. Who immediately started seizing the people's guns upon capturing Kabul

I sincerely doubt the average first world person has what it takes to sacrifice their comfortable life and go live in caves to resist a tyrannical occupation. And there's no need for them to do that, realistically.
>Maybe you could give them a replacement

but isn't this supposed to be happening in America?
It's impossible to know the counterfactual, because having a set date for leaving nuclear has also been a forcing function for ramping up renewables. So it's entirely possible that coal would have made up as much or more of the energy consumed in the hypothetical 2021 with nuclear plants still active.

Of course there could have been an even more radical counterfactual where Germany decided to get out of coal by doubling down on nuclear but that hasn't been a political possibility in Germany for many years.

Exactly. And after you've done it a few times for different businesses you see really clearly what things you have to modulate. Then you just dig up your case studies that solved whichever set of problems they have to prove your bona fides and sprinkle on a bit of innovation and some design splash.
It's a good idea to hire a retired contractor or home inspector to check work quality throughout the project. It's extra expense but serves as insurance.

Just having someone will keep the GC (and usually the subs) honest most of the time. And it's super valuable when you have someone knowledgeable to go to bat for you if needed.

I recently did a remodel with a well regarded GC in my area, but still had an outside person to inspect for me. Saved me a lot of time/headaches, and probably only spent a few thousand extra
I can count on one hand the number of times I've had to make a brand new post on a forum. The guiding principle of 2000s forum etiquette was "do a search first", because you weren't the first to come up with that dumb question.

That is the value that will be lost.
It's a religion in Germany. Im French, so biased pro-nuclear. God just talking to a German abt nuclear power not being only about Fukushima and Tchernobyl puts them in a state of existensial anger you rarely see in these otherwise rational people :D

Microsoft and Apple both provide tech and data to the CCP, which makes them unethical vis-a-vis human rights violations in much the same ilk. They're definitely included in what I refer to as the uncivil technology corps. Generally, any tech company that enforces their product be used in only certain ways is a company I'd consider unethical and uncivil. The end-user is the only individual apt to decide how a tool is best used. Trying to subvert that, or make an end-run around the user, is a societal ill in my opinion.

I'm not sure how I'd obviate the problem entirely. I would propose a new tax on companies, commensurate to the degree they lock down their tech. This tax would be ear-marked towards a granting program for groups and individuals in the US, with the sole purpose of enabling grantees to publish new technology for the community.

That is, a grantee would be a non-corporate interest. The work of the grantee would be released as a public good, possibly competing in the same space as the companies from whom the tax came. As an example: Apple, having locked down their ecosystem so tightly, would be taxed highly under this program. The tax goes into a grant. Interested software developers apply for the tax, possibly to contribute work towards an OS or a command-line utility or sundry other projects.

I don't know if this would help. I feel that it would because it ideally helps convert technological rent from the rent-seeking corporations into tangible public goods.
I think it's a bit of both. Most people under 30 have only known the type of email emitted by Microsoft products, Gmail, spammers and retailers etc. To these people, bottom-quoting is the only option that exists (mail readers like Gmail will hide your message from them if you attempt to do top or inline/correct/sane quoting)). HTML mail is normal and expected. Proprietary attachments with "invitations" and the like is normal and expected. It's just a completely different thing to what those users were using back then.

Mailing lists work because they work best with old-fashioned email. Old-fashioned email just works better. It requires a certain level of training to use properly (e.g. how to do inline quoting etc.). This is a good thing. But people seem reluctant to learn skills as an adult, especially when it comes to IT.

More importantly, mailing lists rely on etiquette (netiquette) to function well. This is essential for any interactions between responsible adults. But nowadays people have been trained to expect coded rules. They are used to operating in a playpen where they can test the boundaries with no consequences, like children.

Discord is just the latest regression in a long line of distilling what it means to have discourse into a few easily managed rules. It's ironic because, on the face of it, Discord with its huge array of "stickers", "emojis" and "fun" attachments etc. seems like it should be more expressive and allow for deeper discussion. But, in fact, by pushing aside language, etiquette and training in favour of emojis, canned phrases, and strict rules we get shallow, repetitive, and, frankly, boring exchanges. Great for mindless drones to do bullshit jobs, I'm sure. Bad for deep and enlightening discussion and debate.
I knew a cannabis grower who had a tank of CO₂ in his grow room and a closed loop feedback system that would maintain a constant concentration of CO₂. He got industry-leading results.
It depends on the specifics, but if you install the -compat packages and enable the compat kernel flags, broadly speaking old software continues to work across major versions. Anyway, just because I expect it to happen, doesn't mean it happens (and I acknowledged that).

Things I've run into include when they made the CPU masks bigger, old binaries couldn't set CPU affinity (even when the old code had a mask big enough for the current CPU; we had a local patch for this, since upstream didn't seem interested in making it right).

Updating to 13 at home with the approved process (install kernel, reboot, install userland, reboot (maybe), do ports/pkg update), resulted in bad network configuration because 12.x ifconfig didn't fully work with 13.0 kernel, but I believe that's been addressed; and I never hit similar issues in prod because we would install both the new kernel and new userland before rebooting, because redundant servers means you can live dangerously (if the first server fails to start, you can improve the upgrade process on the next ones). This one wasn't terrible for me, but I can imagine someone having a very negative experience and holding a grudge if they had a less accessible machine and specific network configs that made the machine unreachable after the first reboot, my machine was accessible but misbehaving and I've got easy access to the console I rolled back and later did a more cautious update.

FreeBSD 11 (+/- 1) changed page inactivity policies in an unexpected way and resulted in undesired swapping for our use cases and becauae it was a slow process it wasn't obvious. That release also negatively impacted our heavy disk I/O systems in a way I didn't have time to get to the bottom of, accurate benchmarking was time consuming and user impacting and migration was in progress, so those systems were forbidden to upgrade. They didn't need the positive networking changes because of their use case, so it was acceptable.
That's basically what the pharmacist said: it's probably not a hazard, more like your data point on side effects is not going to be useful because of the co-mingling. Good to know that they nailed it.

Sounds like a sawdust allergy.
I think it kinda needs to be noted that the article linked (https://academic.oup.com/cid/article-abstract/72/2/285/57416...) does not consider cases like yours (a quickly administered booster shot after getting a cut), only the presence of a regular 10-20 year booster schedule. (They only use data of schedule exists/does not exist, and WHO data of tetanus & diphtheria cases, not whether booster was administered.)

In other words, if getting the irregular tetanus booster shot is a thing that saves people today, it wouldn't show in the data.

> This is the beginning of commercial space flight.

Space felt like a great reaching out of humanity, a huge vast problem all mankind was venturing towards. Even amid the colossal commercialization of satellite imagery & commsats, it still felt like humanity was expanding some kind of net overall potential.

This feels so lacking in the bonhomie. It further accenuates our class differences, rather than making me excited for humanity. And it feels frivolous, like we have touched greatness, begun a great journey, but have no idea what to do now, no vision remaining.

The end of the "one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind" era.
Rocket: A Web Framework for Rust
To be fair to Reddit reposters, it's on-site search is terrible. OK, it's still probably laziness 93% of the time.
At least a web forum can be spidered by search engines and the Internet Archive. The forum may go bust but its content may live on. With Discord, once they go bust all of their data will likely disappear. There's also no way for me to search a Discord server without being in Discord. I can find some nugget of information on a web forum without having any prior relationship to that forum.
Lobotomy was used for this purpose for many years to make unruly prisoners docile. The practice is still legal (and doesn't use an ice pick any longer), however it is rarely used today.

There are however an array of medications that could be administrated to force compliance and do not cause a permanent state like a lobotomy would.

But yes, the entire idea is dehumanizing in my opinion.
If you want to define away sending hundreds of thousands of troops to defend Saudi Arabia, using those troops to free Kuwait from foreign invasion, and then keeping those troops in both countries (where they've taken everything from car bombings to shooting attacks) as defending her own interests rather than those states, then you can define away any action taken on behalf of an ally that way. To take this to an extreme: by that definition, US defense of South Korea isn't "aid to an ally".

There is a legitimate argument that US aid to Israel isn't well thought out rationally, but the only reason that's plausible is that a few billion a year and low-cost diplomatic statements/votes aren't a big enough deal for the Serious National Security Considerations to come into play.
If the linked excerpt is supposed to be the epitome of outrage, I don’t get it. The idea is a bit odd but seems worth exploring and is better than the current alternatives.

At first glance that sounds awful, but presumably if it was remaining active, it would simply exist again (just not as a labelled 'fork') on next push?

Bit weird/worrying as a user or whatever looking for the repo on Github between deletion and push, but probably not a big deal in the grand scheme of things?
I had blood drawn for an antibody test literally 4 hours ago. I was utterly amazed that I didn't even feel the needle go in. I probably embarrassed myself by how loudly I complimented the nurse. Your mileage will vary.
Same; I’m at the point in my career where I’m not really involved in project delivery anymore so it’s more about sales and coaching new leaders. Your technical skills do eventually atrophy (at least mine have) but that just means you lean on your experts for that knowledge. But it’s probably a more natural growth path than most technical roles in industry — promotions at consulting companies are far easier to achieve if you put in the work.
In the early days of google, I found what I was looking for on page 5+. On the way, I’d discover many interesting things I didn’t even know I was looking for, often completely unrelated to what I was searching for.
Our local well-regarded (by our city's standards, anyway) public school district can't find a food supplier that can meet lunch demand. Their usual two dropped them before school started, saying they simply couldn't meet demand, and a third just broke contract for the same reason. They've notified parents not to be alarmed if, sometimes, the "main" dish at lunch is an individual pack of trail mix from a big-box retailer.

Local restaurants and fast food places have been marking a lot of items as unavailable.

A lot of packaging (drink containers, take-out containers) have been unavailable, then replaced by a similar but not-identical model, recently.

I'm surprised the panic buying hasn't started yet, frankly. Supply of lots of important stuff (though I don't think toilet paper, yet? Hahaha) looks a lot worse than it did during the panic buying last year, and that's without a run on goods, so must be a sign of actual problems.

Ah, ok, yes I missed that.
AFAIK the point is not about the cut or scrape being made by metal (or non metal) objects, tetanus (Clostridium tetani[0]) does not live on metals, it lives in the soil/earth, so - say - gardening tools are high risk - a gear taken out of a gearbox or a table knife are - still say - like 0% risk.

As anecdata I know someone that got it (but was treated in time and survived it just fine) while gardening because of a rose thorn prick.

A bite from an animal, even your own pet, might be risky because it may have ben eating earth or however something dirt and the tetanus is still in its mouth.

How much of this is blockages caused by COVID, and how much is increased demand from people buying more stuff instead of going on trips, to restaurants, etc?
I mean his comment is the illustrative argument for why VPNs exist. Basically in a world where a Westerner (a historically relatively more liberal bunch) categorizes 99% of everything they don’t agree with as scum, copyright infringement, or worse - that’s all the motivation you need for safe, reliable communication infrastructure.
The only reason they developers can do this is there is a lack of people that can build houses creating a non competitive market. A huge portion of US home building is built on migrant labor which has been in short supply since 2016 and even further pressure from covid. Moreso housing is a boom bust style market that squeezes out competition during busts and increases prices during booms. This is how supply and demand curves work in this market.
Seems to work fine for me. What exactly makes it unusable?
That sounds like a pretty easy problem to solve with auditable surveillance that is redundantly deployed and has realtime ML algorithms that "watch" it.
I'm guessing a lot of parents end up with boosters. My doctor recommended a TDAP booster as soon as he found out my wife was pregnant. It was more about the pertussis than tetanus, but still, it's all in the same shot.

That's super interesting and insightful to hear. I really appreciate the time you spent detailing out your prespetive!

I too love FreeBSD (and don't have much in-depth Linux experience). You hit on a topic I'm also interested in as well, which is io_uring. A week doesn't go by that it seems I bump into an article/post about it. Unforunately, I haven't found any solid comparison yet on kqueue vs io_uring (or at least - aren't written by someone in the Linux community who doesn't understand FreeBSD well ... which can be frustrating).

Nonetheless, again - really appreciate your comment.
