We know that exercise is an effective antidepressant for some people. In pre-modern times people were generally more physically active so I suspect that prevented a lot of depression symptoms.

Yes! This is excellent news!

>I don't think my ISP can easily intercept the content of DoT DNS requests.

No. But they can intercept connections to the IP addresses returned by such DNS queries.

>They would need a valid certificate for 1.1.1.1#cloudflare-dns.com or 9.9.9.9#dns.quad9.net from a trusted (by me) CA, correct?

In order to MiTM such requests, yes.

>Now obviously that's not impossible but is a VPN any better in that scenario?

You're only considering the DNS queries. Once you've received a response to your DoT/DoH query, presumably you'll want to connect to the returned IP address, right?

Your ISP can absolutely capture those packets, and even if the payload is encrypted, the headers are not -- so while they might not be able to access the data, they have full access to the metadata. Unless you use a VPN, which will encapsulate the headers as well.

All that said, my issue is with DoH/DoT, since devices can stealthily bypass my DNS controls (including ad/telemetry blockers like Pi-Hole) and unless I block all TLS/HTTPS traffic (making my internet link mostly useless), I can't stop surreptitious connectivity.

I'm not as concerned with my ISP as I am with not being able to block ads/tracking/telemetry. Apologies if I wasn't clear about that.
They’re scared of the imperceivably small dent this would make in their profit.

Asking this guy’s opinion on the matter is like asking the fox about security for the hen’s house.
Even 1990s systems would have a 2400bps modem to phone in pay per view purchases.

Policy requires a telephone connection, partly for the purpose of reducing subscription sharing.

Pirates and many others wouldn’t or couldn’t plug them in.

Once an update was built to check for a dial tone intermittently and eventually deactivate, so pirates created a 555 timer device with a 9V battery to generate a frequency close to the dialtone. Even though a dialtone is 2 frequencies, the modem accepted any single frequency remotely close to the right range.

At some point, the provider would call subscribers with several boxes on the same sub that didn’t phone home and ask for “secret” numbers from all receivers, but someone quickly published a program that generated those keys. Saves legit customers from walking around the house too.

Fun times.

> brain as a predictive engine that constantly refine its internal model

And a pretty effective one at that. Stereotype accuracy is one of the most solid and replicable findings in psychology. There are very strong correlations between what people think is true about statistical discrepancies between groups and what the truth actually is. The relationships consistently replicate and are much stronger than most effects found in social psychology [0].

We must thus understand wokeism as a war on pattern recognition.

Well, I'm realistic, I don't believe Apple stops being greedy anytime soon. But the battery issue is a huge step forward. I mean, of all components, that's the one I know will break first because of the laws of physics (and chemistry). So having it irreplaceable is particularly cruel. It's like saying "buy this expensive machine and watch it die." I really hate throwing hardware away, I try to make use of everything I own and repurpose it if necessary, but the battery literally destroys everything, I have this bulge that damages the touchpad and keyboard and Apple says they will fix it for a ton of money. I could have done it a long time ago if I could, thanks.
Linux on the Framework Laptop: Things to Know
Apple’s App Privacy Report launches into beta to show you what apps are up to
I meant cold turkey as a synonym for no longer on drugs, I should have phrased it differently.

I never said psychiatrists pressure patients. I said they only treat patients on drugs. If the patient decides to go off drugs that's the natural end of the relationship.

You replied and said you saw a psychiatrist when you were still on a anxiety drug and the insurance paid for it. Well, of course they did, you were taking a drug.

You are correct that some patients could stop taking an SSRI and still see a psychiatrist.

I'm also correct that many patients who have gone off the drug to see if the sexual dysfunction stops will probably no longer be making appointments with the psychiatrist. What would be the point? If they want to talk to someone that's what therapists are for.
I mean...neat? But the price is insane. £195 for a very basic case that you have to assemble yourself?
Is there a UK available streaming device that supports:

My Journey to create a slack app that has 10000 users
Hi All, I am creating a free slack app that is going to help remote teams. It allows teams to easily run agile processes such as story/task estimations. My goal is to get it to 10k users a month.

Why am I writing here?

one word, accountability. I like to write down my journey so others can see it and I feel accountable this way. I am a solo developer so It is hard to keep going without any external feedback

What's in it for you?

I will mostly share my learnings so if it helps you, great, if not, I hope you don't mind.

What did I learn lately?

I have been trying to decide between cloud services like AWS or GCP vs self-managed hosting. Cloud services have come up a long way and offer a generous free tier. I will share a simple setup with GCP cloud functions and firebase hosting to host your project for a few pennies and almost zero ongoing maintenance.

Slack has a really nice dev setup that allows webhook-based interaction and API-based interaction. Webhook is a simple URL that processes HTTP requests. I will probably use the webhook approach for now.

I found that it is hard to get good domain names. I tried looking at expired domains websites and found some good .com domains that are cheap so don't rule out the expired domain method for your next project.

that's all for now, thanks for reading, will post some more tips next time

If you look at the claims they actually patented this (I translated it into English):

> For a scanner with a near and far end, position one cart near the near end. Remove a tray from the cart. Pass it through the scanner. Put the tray in a second cart at the far end of the scanner. Move the second cart to the near end of the scanner.

I'm not exaggerating. That's what claim 1 says. If you do that they can sue you for infringement.

The subordinate claims talk about stackable trays, but you only have to infringe claim 1 to be infringing. Claim 1 is written as broadly as possible in order to "catch" as many infringers as possible, and then the subordinate claims are there in case the courts actually rule that claim 1 was too broad.

So you can say "Fine, we can't patent using a cart to move trays, but what about claim 3? We patented using stackable trays! That's very novel!"
Quit your bullshit... The white house has been heavily involved in trying to fix the problem, for a while now:

This seems to be why he suggests a place other than the port to dump empties.

It would be better to require that the ships carry away as many empties as fit aboard.
Just let’s be honest: I paid for the pro version of adobe brcause I had business deals depending on the documents I was editing. I failed to successfully split or delete pages on any of the contracts I tried and I resorted to borrowing the laptop. So there you go and I stand by what I wrote.
They don’t even need to do that. Just contract with local TV networks to send data over their OTA TV streams that gets routed to the TV’s CPU instead of video decoder.
The limit of 2 was for off-port sites, within cities themselves. The article is wrong on that point.
> But I kind of wish they had a "Blender Light"

Since Blender is open source, it would be possible for some other group to fork Blender and remove parts of the UI for users like you.

I really wish the core team wouldn't focus their effort on this. Blender is a professional tool for professional users. Having to balance between "dumbing down" the UI for first time users and providing a user interface for power users makes it hard to please either one of them, so I'm happy Blender currently focuses on the pro users.
I think you don't realize how unattractive vaccines are as a product. How many manufacturers make a product that they know each customer will buy only once and cheap? And also take full legal responsibility for health and condition of a person that used your product, not only at the time of use but many years or decades later.

There were cases where companies folded a working and safe vaccine due to PR problems and very limited liability. Read about Lyme disease vaccine.

How long Mc Donalds and Coca-cola would stay in business if you held them liable for most cases of health service costs that resulted from obesity?

Even with exemption from liability, vaccines are such a bad business that we managed to develop just a handful only for most serious infectuous diseases.

When Moderna pivoted from gene therapies to vaccines investors were extremely concerned because vaccines are industry loss leaders.

"Society decided that vaccines are beneficial enough to give companies immunity from prosecution" is a shorthand for competent people in the society decided, it this case competent people being epidemiologists and politicians. Democracy is not about all people making decision. Even if a party has some program and gets support and gets elected on that program it doesn't mean in will realize it or it will implement laws supported by their voters. It has no obligation to and might stay in power (and almost always does) regardless. In American democracy goverment only implements laws that have a support of the richest Americans. So us having vaccines is a result of richest people thinking it's good idea to exempt companies from liability over vaccines they develop. And even if you think it's a bad idea you have no saying over this, not today, not during election, because you are not a member of those elites whose opinion on laws actually matters and even if you were, majority of them doesn't share your views.

Besides manufacturers of vaccines are still liable if they make a bad batch. They are just not responsible for things nobody can know. Like if thoroughly scientifically researched vaccine might have some unforseen consequences in the far future. Because noone knows that. And if you agree to be liable for random future events you have no way of predicting you are not the sharpest tool in the shed.
I would hope that any proportional voting system that was introduced would also break the two-party duopoly, but I suppose that's not a guaranteed consequence.

For example, if IRV was more widely adopted, you might still find that only the two big parties ever win seats (although by removing the spoiler effect, third parties become a viable threat which could act to steer the big parties towards more representative policies rather than them relying on the "lesser of two evils" effect).

Conversely, it could be possible to have somewhat popular third parties without a proportional voting system, as is seen in Canada or the UK, but those countries still see the biggest party at the national level always being one of the two main parties.
I get what you're saying and it's possible to implement all that, but the current workflow is what it is for a reason. Applying modifiers to collections would result in too many UX surprises and pretty bad footguns.

What you want would be less of an issue in a tool that allowed for a more procedural approach where the assembly of complex objects is part of a modifiable construction history that is separate from the final scene graph. In such a context, merging objects is technically destructive, but repeatable. I've written such a modeler once.
Information is great. But even being gracious, CTH is a highly polemic source of entertainment. I would lump them with Breitbart or Joe Rogan or similar.
That’s not apple to apple comparison. Try other vehicle manufacturers and see where your numbers end up. Ramping up a multi thousand part product with hundreds of suppliers is a whole different ball game than scaling an online website.
Nitpick: the booster does not achieve orbit. If it did it would need a heat shield like the upper stage.

What's new in Starship? Rapid turnaround. Catching the returning rocket with the launch tower. A durable heat shield that needs zero refurbishment for back-to-back flights. The sheer number of engines on the first stage and the volume of engine production needed for that. Orbital refueling. The landing flip maneuver.

There is a lot of new stuff in Starship, and not all of it is proven yet. Personally I think the biggest remaining risk is the heat shield. I'm no expert, but my speculation is that there will be several reentry failures, and refurbishment will limit turnaround speed for a long time. I've also heard a lot of people saying that orbital refueling will be very difficult. I'm also worried that landing failures will wreck the ground support equipment. And I think it's very unlikely that the reliability of the whole system can ever be good enough for the airliner-like earth-to-earth passenger service that SpaceX has proposed.

All that said, I'm very much in agreement with the article that NASA needs to radically change their future plans, because while Starship is not completely proven, it is clearly derisked to the point where it's going to be revolutionary, even if some of the above risks prevent the total potential from being realized. HLS was the first time NASA showed that they realize this, but they are still doing tons of stuff outside HLS that makes little sense in a Starship world.
Are you comparing software companies to a manufacturing company?

They were making new technology that people basically thought was impossible. By 2012 they had only sold 1000 vehicles. That how hard it was.

Since Model S however they have grown about as fast as any manufacturing based company in history and they have very clear potential to continue to do so for a few years more at the very least.

Tesla basically invest huge into growing a chemical industry to make the batteries. That simply not something that just magically happens within a few years.

> Microsoft did even better between 1975-1995.

Because Microsoft was running on ALL computers designed from lots and lots of companies. Rather the computers were designed for it.

They didn't 'had to' they wanted to.
Thank you for reminding me about this neat tool, it saved my ass a couple of times.
Probably because they ship beta devices as production quality.
I agree, if/when we build a new port it shouldn't be in LA County or probably California at all.
How has he been running an "extortion racket"? The only evidence to that is from someone that Chevron themselves bribed.

To all of the reading I've done on the subject the Chapo telling of the story is accurate. It's just some previously reputable sources that fail to mention that the only account or Donzigers wrong-doing is by someone paid 12 000$ a month by Chevron and reliant on Chevron's goodwill to say in the USA, that also recanted his account later. There is no credible evidence of extortion from Donziger, in account that portrays it as such is either misinformed or naive.
The "Learn by Example" doesn't have a section on writing tests, which is a non-starter for me.

Everyone shrugs off writing tests and I can't tell you how many times it has saved my butt. Especially with brining new developers onboard a complicated system.

I'm building software that runs on thousands of machines. If it doesn't have automated tests, how can I reliably deploy it?
Considering Amazon is paying for that name, I find it far more appealing than "Amazon Prime 2-Day Delivery Arena".
This is NSFW, but if you want to see how to do HTML video right, check out redgifs.com

The videos play almost instantaneously, in any browser with DRM installed and without, even on, e.g., a 2013 netbook.

I think that, just as with many other things in HTML/JS land, there is a way to do it simply and elegantly, though it requires paging through dozens of StackO posts, random docs, etc.

For example, I used to think that paste-to-upload was difficult to achieve, until I'd paged through all that and discovered it's no more than a couple of lines, including creating the form elements and all.

Dig deep and you will find the way. There's no need to use more complicated options which also don't work in 99% of existing browser base.
There's still a short-term dependency ratio crisis brewing. Healthcare and eldercare are very labor-intensive, low-productivity industries; if you "prioritize" them such that all of the old get adequate care, the rest of the economy is going to be severely starved of workers. That's going to cause a standard of living drop that working-age Chinese may or may not be okay with.

Over the long run a lower population usually leads to higher quality of life for each individual, but you've got to get to the long run first.
I'd say the shape of our disagreement here follows a fundamental problem with the patent system.

It's impossible to directly refute the argument that it only seems obvious in retrospect, short of finding some people who became isolated/frozen/etc in Y2K and asking them to judge.

Which is why we look to prior art. But that forms a much weaker argument - while we've seen stackable bins and bin aggregation carts for decades, we hadn't seen them in use at high volume invasive security checkpoints, as such checkpoints didn't exist before. Does applying a longstanding technology to a newly needed purpose constitute invention?

The patent system asserts that this answer is undecidable, and thus defaults to issuing a patent. Whereas to everyone else looking at the constructive behavior of this system, it looks an awful lot like lawyers getting paid a bunch of money to generate paperwork that divvies up ownership of the intellectual commons.
I have a Ipad with Magic keyboard that I tried to make work for just keeping up on work while I travelled not even as a primary dev machine and without background tasks it was just not possible.

Ended up giving it to my wife and getting a surface go 2 m3, its lighter smaller and 1000% more capable, couldn't be happier.
That will continue to work in Wayland, they haven't broken X forwarding. It works similarly to how XQuartz works on the mac.
Calibre is a great piece of software. I am using it for Legos instructions set for my partner hobby which have over 300 paper instruction booklets. I have majority of the digital instruction sets in PDF from various sources and put them in Calibre Web for my partner to access the PDFs without needing to through the box to find it. Surely Legos have their own digital library but they only hold small pool of instructions on their sites which prompted me to use Calibre Web. It works well for him and I am happy with that.

How We Got Up the Glenmutchkin Railway (1845)
This is a regional problem. There are other ports in the US (East Coast, etc). I don’t see how it will be a global problem. Sure it will affect supply and demand significantly, but it’s not a global catastrophe.
Yes. From a technical standpoint, archive.is' stance is that it's actually important useful data that, more importantly, isn't a privacy violation. How much you agree with archive.is depends on a very technical understanding of the subject, or barring that, it depends on how much you buy Cloudflare's reasoning. Cloudflare's business would prefer you pay for Cloudflare (at large but specifically their anycast) instead of using an optimization available to you as a Internet business to route clients to a more optimal/closer server.

As far as the privacy implications, remember that the site you visit needs to know your IP address in order to respond to your request, so while there are some issues to be aware of, it's kind of hard to see it as a privacy violation and not Cloudflare trying to squash the little guy, imo.
I'm not arguing that no one should focus on space and I'm certainly not arguing that no one should focus on science..it's the opposite in fact. It just seems to me that going to space is sort of a solved problem, and that now we're just trying to figure out how to do it a little bit better and in a way that generates revenue. But since there are problems that remain unsolved, you'd think that people who are bright enough to tackle admittedly difficult problems like going to space better than we already do would want to tackle really hard problems, rather than just sort of iterating on an existing design.

Right now we have a new space race, it's just between companies instead of countries.
The outrage cycle is strong with this one.

Is this what social media amplifies? Some dude who makes a statement that is clearly atypical gets hyper focused on while internet “pundits” scream at each other about it?

It’s clearly an extreme statement, made with the perfect intent to stoke outrage, that gets amplified, then Fortune writes an article and it gets linked on HN.

Whatever happens to “wow that’s a dumb statement” then moving on?
