Epidemiologists study the spread of diseases and their impact on communities. That's an important factor to consider when judging the potential impact of risky research, and it's not something virologists are trained in.

Er sorry, you misunderstand me-- I mean customizable by downloading new software, not by turning the itty bitty knobs they give you out of the box. You know, same as linux! (Unless you're one of the cool people who has written their own window manager, most of us just download that shit and tweak it to our liking)

Some apps I like

- Better Touch Tool https://folivora.ai/

- https://www.raycast.com/

- MTMR https://mtmr.app/ (admittedly hate the touchbar but hey at least i can tweak it)

- iTerm is def the best terminal app experience

- the builtin trackpad is by far the best of any OS (esp boosted by BTT), but for plugged in mice i use https://plentycom.jp/en/steermouse/

- there are a large handful of automation oriented apps which way outperform windows and IMO beat linux in terms of usability but not in terms of customizability. Often though, the solution you can whip up in a couple hours is better than the one you (didn't) whip up in 2 weeks https://thesweetbits.com/best-mac-automation-apps/

- thanks to superior graphics APIs on mac you can get nice polish on lots of interesting apps (eg https://slidepad.app/). Often you just can't get that on linux because nobody has the time. The selection just doesn't exist.

The whole of Australia? That seems like an overly simplistic view. Australia is a very diverse country from a climate standpoint, there is everything from deserts to alpine regions[1]. Of course the impact of climate change will be seen everywhere, but in different ways depending on the specific areas, and not unlike the rest of the World.

For example, if we look at Koppen climates: it is true that much of Australia is arid (desert) or semi-arid (grassland)[2], but the non-arid regions of Australia (temperate, subtropical, tropical, equatorial) amount to an area equivalent to the surface of several European countries put together[3].

The informal Chinese word for white people is "Lao Wai" which literally translates as "old foreign" (the formal word for foreigners is Wai gou Ren (foreign country person)). The explanation I was given for the informal word is that it means "the old foreigners, as in the ones we've known about since antiquity."

I visited China with someone who was from China but had been living in the US. It was a hot day and at one point I wanted cold water (which turns out is a very western thing and hard to get elsewhere) and the only option was a vending machine.

I expected at first to pay with coins, WeChat, or AliPay but she just showed her face to the camera on the vending machine and it charged it to her bank account. She didn't have to enter a PIN or show identity and the only device she had on her was a US-bought iPhone with no cell service.

I was blown away that not only was a camera able to identify her out of the probably hundreds of millions of people enrolled in the system, but it was confident enough to actually charge money to her account.

I still think about that to this day and tell people about it when they talk about the level of tech in the US.

Lisa Su is absolutely amazing. And I love the context of her success. She is kicking ass because she really is the best leader in hardware. That she is a woman is incidental. She doesn’t play identity politics or milk her femininity. She just wins and wins and wins by delivering great products at a company that was newly left for dead a decade ago.

I want to see more female CEOs like her, because there are too many like Mary Barra who are there to show the company has a strong female at the helm. And people like her end up doing really poorly and give fuel to sexists. People like Lisa Su just show that women can straight up compete and win.
No, I haven't. I'm certainly going to search about it. Thank you so much, Jugurtha!

Sorry, but epidemiologists have no ability to make these predictions. Epidemiologists generally work in the field of "who, when, and where" based on historical data evidence.
It's ok to have wishful thinking. Plenty of grants include virologists and epidemiologists, so your proposal isn't practical.

OT - I've heard of Småland! When I was growing up we had a wonderful dog whose breed no one seemed to be able to positively identify. Vets suspected all kinds of possible mixes, until my sister saw a picture of a Småland hound (Smålandsstövare) which was a perfect match. Of course we could never be sure, but looking at pictures of them now I see my family's dog.

The left's fault, 100%. You yearned for this anarchy and mess, you are to blame.
No, that doesn't protect again amplification attacks by itself. Quoting https://curvecp.org/availability.html:

Blind amplification

Some protocols allow attackers anywhere on the Internet to generate a packet that will trigger a much larger outgoing packet from the server to a victim address selected by the attacker. The issue here isn't the availability of that protocol; the issue is that the protocol is amplifying the attacker's resources, damaging availability for the rest of the Internet. The worst offender at the moment is DNSSEC, which has set up a remote-controlled machine-gun pool containing more than 2000 servers with amplification factors between 30 and 95 and with an overall outgoing attack capacity estimated to be close to 50 gigabits per second.

With CurveCP, the first incoming packet from the client is padded so that it is as large as the outgoing packet from the server. If this padding is missing, the server won't respond. Subsequent packets from the client need to repeat server cookies and can't be generated blindly.

I noticed that too but it feels like a workaround that lets them not have to openly state the fact they're enabling wells to stay open...

Say a well would be closed because it's not profitable. Now the gas that would be vented through normal operation and has "no value" is converted to something with value.

So the well stays profitable and open when it otherwise wouldn't be able to.

High altitude survival probably wasn’t as important as the advantages of efficient oxygen use. Imagine living every day like you blood dope like Lance Armstrong!

Live high/train low is a training method in which athletes live at high altitude and train at low altitude, usually with the goal of improving performance at sea level. The main idea is to reap the benefits of high altitude acclimatization while maintaining the intensity of low altitude training.

My point is that everything I have ever seen Stossel write or show on video, decade after decade, is more or less misleading, disingenuous, often slanderous propaganda. With that well-established reputation, it is hard to take what he says at face value; we can safely assume that his comments in this case are also distorted and self-serving.

Given the difficulty of winning a defamation lawsuit as a public figure in the USA, I would be shocked if he prevailed here.
Today, it's less the "Boomers" or whatever pejorative you'd like to use, and more the younger generations that are online (including HN which comes out of the box with lovely vote and flag functionality - yours for 500 credits). Take a minute and ponder the implications of that one as you stack it next to other tidbits of information like the political alignments of certain demographics.

The greater issue we are facing is people unable to cope with "dissenting" (read: different) opinions because for whatever reason they think it's a personal affront on their identity for someone to disagree with something they've said online, under an anonymous (not for long!) moniker.

Facebook Isn't Other People. There is no 'democratization'. These platforms did not create anything. Facebook, Twitter, Gab, Parler, Win, Reddit, HN, Wikifarms, are fairly holistic in their representation of what people are actually like from the very beginning. You just don't want to admit you're as much of an asshole as the next poster, if you could get away with it.

I've always found it hard to get the Nginx config right and have at times done the following:

1. Run Nginx (or OpenResty in my case) in Docker

2. Have the config files in a volume

3. Have a script (Python, Bash or anything else) which watches the config files for changes, then first runs `nginx -s reload` in the Nginx container, and then executes a number of unit tests

For Emacs users there's also an nginx-mode which makes a bit more pleasant to edit the config files.
My sample size is 1, but so far I am not impressed that my wife's M1 MBP didn't last more than 4 months before needing a full mainboard replacement. She's not a power-user and I would expect a "pro" laptop to be more resilient than this (even in the exceptional cases).
The most common issue I see with async programming is that the naive style seen in most samples/docs is strictly slower than standard imperative programming for one user. In other words, it's pure overhead with no benefit at all unless you're at a very large scale and approaching 100% capacity on your hosts.

Most documentation -- and most code I've seen in the wild -- reads like this:

var foo = await GetFooAsync(...);
var bar = await GetBarAsync(...);
var baz = await GetBazAsync(...);

The timeline of that code is exactly same as the standard synchronous version, just with extra steps and pauses.

The following version is more verbose -- which makes it feel slower -- but can provide dramatic speed ups even for a single user by overlapping requests so that they run concurrently:

var fooTask = GetFooAsync(...);
var barTask = GetBarAsync(...);
var bazTask = GetBazAsync(...);

var foo = await fooTask;
var bar = await barTask;
var baz = await bazTask;

Unfortunately, I've literally never seen this design pattern in the field...

>1. USDT is not a DAR (Digital Asset Receipt) like other so called "stablecoins" (i.e. it's not backed 1:1 by physical USD). Instead it's a pooled investment fund claiming to keep NAV (Net Asset Value) around 1 USD.

But if you buy 1 USDT you do not own a share of that fund. That's the Tether Holdings fund that may or may not be used to redeem your USDT.

There's no indication that your 1USDT will be redeemed for anything less than 1USD even if the value of Tether Holdings's assets sinks below it's liabilities.

>2. it behaves more like an MMF (Money Market Fund)

How does USDT behave like an MMF? MMFs distribute excess earnings to shareholders.

In the case of USDT you aren't a shareholder and don't get anything at all. Your USDT token might be redeemed for 1 USD but certainly not more.

>Each of the points above can be interpreted as "With the expectation of profit" clause in the Howey test.

The expectation of profit needs to be reasonable. There's no chance you'll make a profit with tether, even in the best case scenario it's guaranteed to lose value to inflation.

My experience living in Taiwan is that those terms may literally mean foreigner but their practical usage means white/western people. A native or black american would not be called that. Also, lao wai is the one they go for when they are angry or postering xenophobia amongst each other. I find it to be a needlessly othering term but I try to accept it as not said with explicitly bad intent.
Thanks, I will add that in an update. Do you plan on making the size smaller or larger?
Mathematical disease modelling is also part of epidemiology. You may have seen their work discussed in the press early in the COVID epidemic when they predicted the possible death count and the likely impact of various interventions.
What? I’m no virologist or epidemiologist and yet I definitely want to have a say. And when physicists start creating black holes, and AI researchers start creating thinking killer robots, and generals go to war, etc.

I value expert opinions but oversight is necessary.
What I described IS unique to blockchains:

"makes that asset accessible to a large number of autonomous on-chain markets, like dApps which allow a person to take out self-executing loans that use the NFT as collateral"

What market undergridded by banks provides these features.

The blockchain provides extremely high assurances of up-time and immutability in its protocol rules - which assures accessibility and protection from third party interference. This is ideal as a digital asset registry.
- No copy-on-write file copies.

- Very limited ability to make snapshots writable.
Honestly if you're in the situation where it comes down to individual CPU clock cycles I can't imagine C# (or similar Java, Go, etc.) being useful at that point. Too much going on that's not in the view of the developer.
Am I interpreting this correctly, that the extraspectral hues, i.e. magenta, can only exist in the mixing of two materials?

If so this seems to explain why you have never seen a magenta flame (but you have seen red and yellow and green and blue).

It would also seem to suggest that a magenta pigment must be some combination of at least two different molecules. Is that right?
Also, where would you get the Fe from? Seems like you’d substituting Fe for C, but Fe is rarely ever found in free form in nature.
> Current SF6 level (...) accounts for 10% of heat forcing.

Source? This does not match what https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPCC_list_of_greenhouse_gases says.

In my naive mind, Methane seems like the it could be a good candidate for removal from atmosphere: If you could just get it to react with oxygen, it turns into water and the much less harmful CO2, so you don't have to sequester anything, and the reaction is exothermic i.e. it already "wants to happen"... we would "only" need an effective yet cheap catalyst to make it happen at low temperatures.
You might enjoy Bucky Fuller's concept of what he called "Cloud Nine":

> Fuller suggested that the mass of a mile-wide geodesic sphere would be negligible compared to the mass of the air trapped within it. He suggested that if the air inside such a sphere were heated even by one degree higher than the ambient temperature of its surroundings, the sphere could become airborne.

According to research of the 197 new FDA approved drugs since 1997, the chance of a generic drug getting approval for a new indication drops to almost zero after it goes off-patent/generic - see https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33397471/. I assume your drug was still on-patent and/or was not subject to off-label competition? Otherwise, how did you get funding? The issue of the lack of private incentives to repurpose off-patent drugs (i.e. "financial orphans") is very well recognised, irrespective of section 505(b)(2) of the FDCA - see https://www.healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/hblog20140306.03737...
A fixed supply that always grows in value doesn't encourage investment, just "hodl". And I ain't an economist, but hoarding wealth for the sake of hoarding wealth isn't good for society.

If you have to invent another coin to encourage investment/spending rather than hoarding...well why not use that coin.

I'm not entirely anti-crypto, I think Monero is neat.
You don't just shut down a tightly interconnected global economy and then start it up again. You sure as shit don't play the start, stop, start game with your logistics, either.

Supply chains are going to be a mess for years.

You don't need to be a hoarder, and playing the buy-and-resell game is a dick move (and a moral plane fail), but I'd suggest keeping stocked as best you can for at least a one-month timeframe. That means two months' worth of essentials, which you rotate through.
Herodotus dismisses a story of Phoenicians (acting for the Persian king) sailing around Africa. He says it must be a lie, because they claim that the sun was in the wrong direction--just what for a modern reader strengthens heir claim.

But the notion of trans-Atlantic voyages, the Vikings apart, seems shaky to me.

You are correct that the notion of isolation tends to be carried much too far.
It might help to understand a bit more about poverty statistics (at least as they manifest themselves in the US):

https://www.manhattancontrarian.com/annals-of-poverty

Basically the "poverty rate" that makes it to the headlines is a very misleading metric. On particular flaw is that it excludes the value of many anti-poverty programs, for example the value of food stamps and public housing is not counted! So you could double cash outlays for those programs and the "poverty rate" wouldn't change.
