What are the results of biopsies specifically? How is it not spreading, there are new spots? Are your doctors nuts?

You may want to have several opinions, as biopsies are actually subjective to a significant degree, but nobody in the field will tell you this.

Do you have histology slides? What kind of cell in the histology slide? Have they narrowed down the type of cancer: neuroendocrine, liver, blood, lymphatic, etc? They are all very different diseases.

You want someone who specializes in that specific cancer. Do not wait. Time is of essence.
> At the top tier of just about any sort of endeavor, you’ll find that the performers have coaches. Pianists, orators and athletes all have coaches.

I'm not sure this is true for all fields. Do chess masters have coaches? Do famous novel writers have coaches? Do top scientists have coaches? Maybe some, but it doesn't seem to be a staple.
I dont that's what they meant, I've met a few people in wheelchairs who were seriously big. Obviously not in their legs but ripped upper bodies.
Using the restroom at Starbucks is a privilege, not a right. That doesn't mean I expect to be recorded in the restroom.
I am a member of a religious group whose doctrine, practices, culture, etc. are very different from the doctrine, practices, and culture of other religious groups. Some people who identify as religious are monotheists, others polytheists, others pantheists, and still others agnostics or even atheists. (Yup, there is such a thing as Christian atheism.)

So I always find it strange when 'religiosity' is used as a catch-all personality trait and everyone who identifies as religious is lumped together.

I haven't been able to look at the specific six-question set used in the study to measure religiosity, but something tells me that with only six questions, we can ascertain the impact of a person's particular religious beliefs and practices on their life in only the vaguest way.
Everyone can have a bad day. They might be losing his house or whatever, why cancel someone over one bad encounter? Give them a chance. We all need a bit of kindness and empathy in this world.
I haven't used VS in years, but the only time I've seen Windows crash to BIOS in the last two decades was during a VS install.
We have a legal system to deal with free speech issues. We already decided not to hold public platforms accountable for what its members publish on their platforms, outside of a few narrow areas. These platforms shouldn't also then censor content, whether you agree or not with the content, once they are already benefitting from the legal protections.

The solution to bad speech is good speech. Never censorship.

The second part of what you said is a widespread myth.

There is a crossover point after you drive a certain number of miles in an EV, after which the lifetime carbon cost is lower than that of an equivalent ICE car.

For Model 3 the crossover point is estimated at around 5,000 miles. Not "many years."

The sources and methodology for this estimate are discussed in detail in Tesla's 2020 Impact Report.

https://www.tesla.com/ns_videos/2020-tesla-impact-report.pdf

Excerpt:

—

Variables often overlooked by other lifecycle studies:

* Using Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) or Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) fuel/energy consumption data (both of which overestimate fuel-economy and underestimate emissions) rather than real-world data;

* Not considering the higher energy efficiency of Tesla’s powertrains;

* Assuming the average EV needs a battery replacement at some point in its life;

* Not considering emissions generated through the oil refining and the transportation process; and

* Using outdated data for the carbon impact of cell manufacturing.
The media really wants to paint the average antivaxxer as white rednecks, when white people are among the most heavily vaccinated demographics.
EFI is pretty much all upside though. When things do go wrong, the engine just tells you what the problem is.
Also, spin up a VPS - even if it has to be on a infra provider also used by Parler or whatever. The key insight IMO is that this isn't about free speech it's about maximizing your reach by any means necessary. YouTube is a good place for that, but failing that, so is getting written about at Fox News. Rumble, et al... not so much.
Executive power is different from legislative power and the later is the one most involved in policy-making.

Additionally it is a very weird presidentialist take to criticize a study on only the presidential election outcomes of a two-party state.

You could make the same argument about any commonly administered vaccine if only 58% of the population are vaccinated. There were a number of outbreaks of measles several years ago when the localized percentage of people vaccinated dropped below 95%.
I've been hacking with rust & wasm lately and am seeing positive results. Flat buffers are also promising if you are working with larger data.
I'm talking about poor people who can no longer afford to live in their home or apartment due to gentrification. I don't know who you're talking about.
It has a good public transport system, yes, but ironically it's the only city where I felt kind of insecure in the subway. Always making sure nobody is going to pickpocket me or I don't look the wrong way at some guy looking for trouble.

A friend of mine works there as security and after all the stories he told me I rather get in a car and deal with the traffic.

And I'm saying this as someone who uses the subway to commute but in a safer city. I literally get in, close my eyes and open them after 20 minutes.
There are many extraordinarily biased US media companies out there. In theory, YouTube can become one more. And that is fine.

But these companies are a lot less respectable than YouTube has been to date, and people know what they are getting.

The issue here is YouTube's standards are changing and that deserves to be discussed. And condemned, it is change for the worse (even if in some sense it is probably inevitable).
And just a few more things.

The sections on video drivers, printers, Xorg and Linux kernel I think are mostly correct but I would say you probably want to remove any paragraphs that have no sources, or ones that have low quality sources. Random Slashdot and Reddit posts are not a reliable source, and it makes your article look sloppy. It's not responsible to put that information out there with nonexistient/bad sources, so probably take those paragraphs out and put them back in once reliable sources are located. It would be best to have a tracking issue or official statement from the developers for each of those problems.

I think this article is good for maybe a first draft but it needs a lot more editing to really be a powerful piece. You are clearly a smart and capable person and you can do much better than this. You may even want to take it down completely until everything is fixed. I had some other issues but I can't remember what they were, and in any case I think you have enough to work with here. So I'm looking forward to getting these corrected and seeing future revisions of this article. Just let me know if you need more help, thanks.
Woudn't they need to know a lot more about this suspected cancer, for carT to work?

They seem to be in the dark even what type it is, and seem to be even somewhat misled by physicians (clearly spreading, or maybe he doesn't understand staging).
It doesn't. Vaccines do protect people. Mortality is a lot lower if they get it and their chances of getting it are lower. But no vaccine is perfect. And these were developed in a hurry of course.

What's your argument here? Just get the damn jab if you haven't already.
Ornithopter is a type of vehicle. It's unlikely any specific vehicle of the type would be generic enough to operate across the variety of planets that likely exist within the Imperium without modification to the design.

This particular branch of the discussion was focusing specifically on the feasibility of the 'dragonfly' ornithopters operating on Arrakis as represented in the new film.
I see this argument a lot. The counter-argument is surely that not everybody involved in malfaescence / corruption / conpsiracy has to be in on it [1]

In the end it's just falsely attributing divinity to pro-social human programming developed over millennia of natural selection. Religion came much later than pro-social behavior, and in fact it more resembles "let's agree on that": When it serves you, quote the bible verses that forbid killing, and when it serves you, quote the verses that justify killing indiscriminately.
> Why say you love open-source if you keep the juicy bits of Visual Studio Code closed-source? More like you love open-source... for making money.

I really dislike this mindset. Sure, it's disappointing that some pieces of VSCode aren't open-sourced, but man, they open-sourced an entire IDE and plugin ecosystem. That's such a fantastic contribution to the open source community, and yet I see comments like yours that treat it as if it's negligible and somehow want even more? Why is it that, say, Intellij never has to deal with this level of scrutiny? The work MS did even includes a bunch work on existing plugins they don't even own - I know this because my plugin was one which they got their engineers to do a couple months of volunteer work on.

If MS wants to retain a few small pieces of tech to pay the engineers that make a fantastic IDE and ecosystem free and open source for everyone, so be it. You say "making money" as if it's some great evil - how do you think all those open source engineers get paid?
Novelists have editors.

But the real distinction that jumps out is cardinality. Most of the coached people are individual producers, or members of smaller teams. Not captains of industry.

But even captains of industry tend to have spouses or spiritual advisors or trainers of some sort.

Yeah seriously people should eat more of the celery and salad options at bars when they're smashed out of their mind.
I find this study problematic because it fails to take into account that
life satisfaction is highly dependent on the exact moment when the respondents answers the questionnaire even if 10 years apart.

If I had a bad day and it so happened that it was the day where I was supposed to fill in a form on my life satisfaction, my answer would probably be very biased regardless if I was religious or not.

It also fails to take into account that not all religions are based on happiness meaning that life satisfaction in this world is not the be all and all.

An example is Islam. In Islam this worldly life is considered as a test. So you're going to be tested with hardship, afflictions and so on. There is also the concept of this being cyclical. After hardship comes ease. (not really cyclical in the sense that hardship comes because you had some ease before it but more like tuples of (hardship, ease) coming your way one after the other)

If you keep steady while you're being tested you'll be rewarded with paradise or/and a period of ease in this life.

Otherwise if you disobey Allah's commandements and die upon disbelief (You did not repent sincerely while you were still alive.) you'll likely go to hell.

Here it would be understandable to the believer that their life will not be all roses.

Microsoft reverses controversial .NET change after open source community outcry
Hm, I think that analogy is too much of a stretch to yield interesting results, to be honest.

I suspect that global supply chain actors follow very different dynamics from naive TCP congestion control implementations (i.e. additive increase, multiplicative decrease), of which Bufferbloat is an emergent phenomenon.

Also, the solution to bufferbloat isn't making the buffers smaller again (there is no generic "correct" buffer size as that depends on the end-to-end RTT, but this can vary across flows at a given choke point). What works is to either make buffers or the endpoints' congestion control algorithms aware of the phenomenon.
I use VS and VS Code for different things today. VS is much better for something it's made for like a C# project with a solution/projects, and VS code is great as something that works with an existing file structure like an old Java project or a folder full of random Python scripts.

VS Code still has good code completion/etc but it doesn't seem able to match the instant responsiveness of VS.
Agree, I think a simpler example of how this happens is remembering names. Everybody had zoom names on screen so had "easy mode" doing this for over a year, and most people I've talked to had some difficulty remembering names since.
That would probably be more acceptable than the way they are doing it now, at least in my view. If they had come out and said "we are pro Biden and used our platform to get him elected, and we have deleted this video because it insults our buddy," I'd be much happier with that. It's their platform...they can try to get their favorite tree elected President next time for all I care. The false labeling..."medical misinformation" in this case...is what I have a huge issue with.
The WHO/CDC positions are consistent with the prevailing science.

If someone went on YouTube to articulate the current scientific consensus of Ivermectin, which is that "There is no evidence to support it as a therapy for COVID, but that there are currently studies in progress which could yield important information, and in the meantime, people should definitely not be taking it as it can be dangerous unless administered by Health professionals" - I'm doubtful such a video would be taken down.

Anyone talking about COVID 'cures' in public forums for which there is no scientific consensus, during a pandemic, should definitely come under heavy scrutiny.
and yet Microsoft attempted it, before our very eyes

Well we have some serious short term issues.

To me, the internet is to the First Amendment as nuclear weapons are to the Second. Neither were anticipated when the Bill of Rights was written.

In the 18th century, no one knew people might invent weapons that could kill on such a scale and at such distance. No one knew people could make a beheading video and instantly share it with millions. No one anticipated algorithms that could amplify the worst human impulses to such a degree.

I'd love to see these problems solved in a better way. Here at Hacker New we have a half decent algorithm for promoting quality content based on upvotes and downvotes and flags and karma and such. When that fails, we have Dang's good judgement as a backup. That's censorship too, and it makes this a better place. It's not perfect, but if you were to take the approach of "any censorship is wrong" approach, Hacker News wouldn't be very pleasant.

YouTube is at a much larger scale, but they have a right to do something. Presumably you are ok with them disallowing beheading videos. What about videos encouraging suicide and providing "help"? What about videos telling people how to make chemical weapons? What about videos planning government overthrows? Where do you draw the line?

I don't necessarily have a long term solution, but I support them taking some short term measures.
It seems like you're struggling to imagine what people would even do with their lives if the industries that cropped up to service the ultra wealthy dissapeared. I am here to reveal to you, they would just work for other people performing needed services or producing goods. Simply put, there would be more for everyone else if the ultra wealthy did not exist to suck up so many resources.

At that point, why not just get rid of the OS?

That's what small embedded systems basically are --- there's not bootloader or any other extraneous complexity, the MCU starts up from the reset vector directly into the "application code".

Using Linux or some other full-blown OS is why a lot of newer embedded stuff like "smart" TVs, set-top boxes, etc. need to "boot" before they're usable. Regardless of how much you try to optimise the process, it won't beat a simple MCU or the "old school" non-computerised systems from power-on until usable.
In fairness, projectm is literally built on 90s tech (Winamp’s milkdrop).

For some reason around the early 00s peoples love for visualisations fell out of favour. Meanwhile clubs would still hire dedicated VJs and/or lighting guys so didn’t rely on math-based visualisations. Which meant fewer people contributing to developing cool new math.

Worse still, the few industries left that did care about beat detection were games like Guitar Hero, Beat Sabre and those dance machines in arcades; all of which were easier to have patterns programmed by a human due to the limited selection of songs on offer.

I may have done a bad job articulating what I meant. My main point was that I feel (based on like 2nd and 3rd knowledge so could be totally wrong) that this had as much to do with public pressure as it did with a number of well known (and certainly many not well known) dotnet and Microsoft team members who fought for an OSS feature that they had been developing and promoting for most of this year.
Why did you stop if you 'used' to do it?
Then you obtain a warrant for that data, as intended by due process of law. If the owner still refuses to hand it over, you have them on obstruction of justice.
Other tips here are great. Another thing that works surprisingly well - throw a party. It can be a pregame for some other campus event, or a board game night, or something low-key. But invite a bunch of people from different social circles and have them mix. And everyone is going to want to have a conversation with you; you are the host, after all.
Something like this could be done with a format like WavPack [0] I imagine.

The Two Big Ears "spatial audio" format is just a repackaged WavPack file, after all, and that handles 10 channels of simultaneous audio playback even in streaming environments, and its interface is low-latency enough to perform real-time panning and spatialization processing based on listener position, i.e., for VR environments.

My fascination with PKD is his fascination with the nature of reality which I share. "How to Build a Universe..." is a long read but packs in a lot of ideas in essay format. I feel like most of his core beliefs are contained in it. My favorite quality of PKD is that he does not present any idea as something true or something he wants us to believe in. He merely reports what he experiences and then asks himself and us if this could be real and if so how?
I love how these commenters think they know something about shipping that the CEO of Flexport doesn’t (I’m referring to the person you replied to, BTW).
A ballot need not be given to a voter at a polling station. There is no such requirement, and in fact this is not true of many ballots. They can be received elsewhere and filled out elsewhere.
Agreed. The only part of that banner that is not literally true is the penguin -- Saudis do wear traditional dress and it is completely appropriate to point out that many things we do not consider a crime in most of the rest of the world are punishable by very, very unpleasant actions.

It's worth mentioning that just because the police are investigating it does not mean that they've decided to charge anyone; nor that the poster's owners would be found guilty in court. I really doubt this later point -- the factual and political aspects are quite a strong defence.
Thanks for clarifying, makes sense.
PHP-FPM pools: ondemand vs. dynamic
I know this page is like 5 years old and I cannot comment anymore (closed):

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14084265

......I never heard about that mod_PHP popularity was rising again compared with FPM pools. Is that totally fake news or that was true temporarily during 2017 only?

My understand that even cPanel hosting is still mostly using PHP-FPM with Apache and .htaccess (2021). Is there any case that using mod_PHP or disabling .htaccess can be faster than PHP-FPM or that is totally wrong.

For Nginx I know FPM is really the only option. And lots of arguments about ondemand, I see a lot of tutorials saying dynamic is better, but on this config file (PHP 7.4) and it says

https://github.com/littlebizzy/slickstack/blob/master/modules/php-fpm/7.4/www-conf.txt

"ondemand is best for the majority of VPS servers (contrary to many online tutorials) .......only incredibly high traffic servers should use dynamic after tuning settings?

I hadn't come across this before but as best I can tell, it seems to be an initiative to combine country or region-specific Reuters sites into one global site. See https://www.reutersagency.com/en/coverage/changes-to-your-re...

The reason I unsubscribed from Reuters.com feeds in the first place was that the volume was too much and I didn’t have the time to scroll through the feed(s) looking for stories that interested me. From a quick look, I noticed these reutersagency.com feeds have a lot fewer stories – one of them had no new items since June!

I don't really know how this is surprising or a crisis. I assumed this was going on. I mean Facebook is full of genius level intellects and only an idiot could miss the garbage that shows up in 99% of the feeds on Facebook (political/pandemic conspiracy and made up memes). There is literally no way they weren't discussing it internally. Now everyone is pearl clutching? That period was over a decade ago, if not longer. The US government isn't going to do anything about this except hold more hearing where old white men think about how this affects the tubes the young folks are using these days. Maybe the European governments will accomplish something.
