I have heard this more than once myself (often phrased as “help me understand the common thread”. Short-sighted idiocy. I may not be the right candidate, but someone with more narrow experience is likely to over fit.

In my current work it turns out I may be one of the few in the world with experience in most of the key areas we need. As the famous quote goes: you can only tell by connecting the dots backwards.

> All of this will lead to predictable outcomes: More war, more humanitarian crises, more mass-migration, strain on food supply, etc...

How convenient to blame this all on climate change. Makes it easier for the incompetent, corrupt, and downright evil people running our governments, who created these disasters in the first place with their absurd policies, to "save us" with yet more absurd climate policies.

When these policies -- predictably -- make things even worse, they will surely claim we must pass even more onerous, confiscatory, job destroying "climate legislation". When this happens you can re-post your comment after incrementing a few numbers.
> Why wouldn't a cloud sync service be as a service? You're literally paying for an ongoing thing ( storage somewhere).

Reminder: they want you to pay for using someone else's storage that you've already paid for. Namely Dropbox.

> one of the 25 schools that claims to be a top 10 cs/engineering school

Hey, I went to one of those! Definitely going to steal that.

I also agree that a varying percentage of graduates from any reputable school are top notch. Many go to State U or State Tech because it's what they can afford, their friends went there, it's within driving distance of their home, or they like Big10 football.

If you run a pi-hole create a config file in /etc/dnsmasq.d such as 02-archive.is.conf with the following

server=/archive.is/8.8.8.8
server=/archive.is/8.8.4.4
server=/archive.li/8.8.8.8
server=/archive.li/8.8.4.4
server=/archive.to/8.8.8.8
server=/archive.to/8.8.4.4
server=/archive.today/8.8.8.8
server=/archive.today/8.8.4.4

And restart dnsmasq (or just reboot the pi)

This will resolve the common archive.is domains using Google's DNS service rather than 1.1.1.1 but everything else via 1.1.1.1 as normal.

Is there any research into the variation of susceptibility to placebos? My gut feeling is that there are people who are much more susceptible and those who are much less, and I’m curious if that’s supported by any research and, if so, how that difference is developed.

Also, I’m confused by the conclusion of the article. If they’re literally exciting or dampening a control pathway in the brain that controls pain, how is this placebo/nocebo? Sounds like a straight up causal effect, not a vague one controlled by the patient’s expectation….
Wow, that's really cool!

>I traced the issue back to changing my Pi-Hole upstream DNS to Cloudflare few days earlier. Switching to another DNS provider fixed the issue right away.

Since you're already using a pi-hole, why not just roll your own recursive DNS server.

The additional network traffic to do so is insignificant.

That way, you don't have to rely on someone else to resolve your DNS queries -- or deal with spats like that.

I've been meaning to do so for a while, but life has interrupted. As I'm going through an ISP change ATM, I will do so soon.

And I won't ever look back.

Edit: Since your post got me thinking about it, I just now went ahead and set up my recursive resolver and pointed my pi-hole at it. Took about 10 minutes on an existing VM.
Don't set out to "learn math", do things that require math to get them done. Run your own stats and summaries of Census data or something. Program your own gravity simulator, use any graphics or game engine you like, but do all the physics sims in your own code. Things like that.
> Probably the most general purpose course of action is to replace the node, since nodes are plentiful. The faulty node can then have its disk replaced before being returned to the pool of available nodes.

This is expensive and wasteful, and could potentially lead to cascading failure. Worse, what if all nodes have a single disk sector error in different places on disk? The cluster would be lost.

>Starship is intended to be able to transport a million tonnes of cargo to the surface of Mars in just ten launch windows.

So at 100tons per starship sent to Mars that's 10,000 trips or 1000 per launch window. But the current plans call for something like 16 starship launches just for refuelling the one starship for the lunar mission. Suppose we can do the Mars trip with the same number of flights that's 170,000 launches to transport that 100million tons?

Sorry for not getting this right away: but are you solely matching the string to a merchant and then returning all of the (already-stored) information for that merchant? Or are you joining that to some other public record of transactions to get additional information?

In other words, in the example on the homepage, is all of the returned data except the dollar amount static data from a DB once you have matched the transaction to the merchant (Google in this case)?

And then sort of unrelated, what are your long-term plans? If step 1 is perfectly hydrating a merchant to a transaction, what is step 2 (if there is one)?

There's an argument that CF benefits if that DNS extension is not in widespread usage. (Because CF sells a CDN but if sites can "just implement" that with DNS, then there's "nothing for them to sell".)
Solving food and clean water is not a technology problem. It's a political choice. The money exists to solve those things not just for the US but worldwide.

I'm very much in favour of political change to solve them, but I long ago resigned myself to accepting that there's very little benefit in individual action to try to counter them other than to feel good unless a majority is willing to commit to the necessary societal change.

Meanwhile the money spent on space is a rounding error compared to the many other places you can also choose to cut to lift people out of horrible living conditions, yet so many people focus their ire on space, which, while some of the flights are wasteful, have as a sector done immeasurable amounts of good in terms of improving our ability to e.g. feed the planet (weather forecasting and crop monitoring for example), and will continue to provide advances for a long time.

Focusing the frustrations on space exploration and technology improvement rather than on the lack of political will to solve the problems you mention solves nothing.
I think your data is not correct. H-series CPUs from Intel always had 35W-45W TDP. Now, you write here that a single core will consume 20-25W... That will make TDP of 200W when all cores are running. That doesn't make any sense at all.

Are you being intentionally obtuse? I linked you a compendium of 60 papers. Surely you can cherry pick one or two and claim poor quality.

>I couldn't help but notice your use of purposely vague and misleading weasel words such as "positive effect".

This isn't a weasel word, this is exactly the correct term to capture the uncertainty considering that there has to my knowledge not been a large scale double blind RCT. But there are, once again, over 60 studies showing positive effect which, individually, are not absolute proof that the medicine works, but together clearly show promise. Your bias is rather extreme and frankly I don't appreciate your dishonest insinuation that I am somehow arguing in bad faith. Again, I linked a collection of more than 60 positive studies. It is unlikely that every one is poor quality and/or fraudulent.

Here is the link again[0], maybe you could actually click the link before responding, as you should have done previously. And yes, I've read a number of them. I can also provide the following [1] which suggests (in silico) the mechanism of action of ivermectin is inhibition of protease, which is the target enzyme of at least one other drug under development by pfizer for treatment of covid.

If you think "positive effect" is a weasel word then perhaps you do not understand the scientific process. I'm not claiming with certainty that ivermectin works, only that in light of, again, some 60 studies showing positive effect, inneffectiveness is unlikely. While you check these sources, please also check your rabid bias.

Ships sink all the time, unless it’s an oil tanker they really aren’t an environmental disaster. As to cost, if someone’s hijacking a ship you already lost the ship now it’s just an insurance question.

The question for an insurance company isn’t just about this ship, but the cost of paying out future hijackings. On top of this there is the rather more interesting option of refloating the ship.
This is beyond insane and wont happen. Once Starhip flies even the last politicans can be cornered to admit to kill this ridiculous rocket.

> Someone would have a chip out with great reviews, and then the new Intel architecture would ship and everyone would forget about it.

What time period or space are you talking about here? Because that did not happen in the last 10 years for consumer and server processors. The last decade saw AMD with the FX processors failing to be competitive, at first single threaded, over time also multi-threaded and in performance per watt. Then after many years Ryzen came out and was at first just surprisingly competitive, then plainly better in every metric. And that's where we are now. The whole back-and-forth you are describing did not happen at all, and there were only AMD and Intel anyway, not "someone" or multiple players.
I would just download headers and only pull the body for content I am interested in. Usenet doesn't have the same hierarchy as Twitter. One would not have to download all of twitter, just the sub-groups they are subscribed to. One could also filter what groups they want to pull down.

alt.something.twitter.text-only.emotional-support-animals.fluffy-bunnies
alt.something.twitter.text-only.checkmarked.public-figures
alt.something.twitter.bin.sfw.memes

The audience could optionally use some add-on in the news clients to validate things like twitter identities, validate checkmarks, etc... Another add-on to filter out what Twitter considers spam if you were so inclined, or maybe subscribe to a crowd-sourced spam filter. These addons could pull signed data from each respective usenet group. One could probably go as far as to make a Twitter Client that uses Usenet behind the scenes and communicates through a HTTPS gateway for VIP to avoid people needing firewall rules for NNTPS in corporate environments.
> why so many people think about going to space and spend so much money on it when there are people in the US who drink water that catches on fire

Because people drinking bad water are poor so it's not profitable to help them. This problem can be solved with current technology (and in fact was solved in many countries with slightly stricter environmental legislation).

> Seems like we should work on the truly hard problems rather than the ones that are basically “just go up, really fast”

The problem with that is assuming that focusing on solving problem X is the way to solve problem X. In history it often turned out that problem X was only solved by people who ignored X and worked on Y instead.

For example the hard problem of 70% of kids dying before adulthood wasn't mostly solved thanks to people who worked on it (shamans, healers and priests) but by people who worked on "useless" abstract stuff like math, philosophy and writing systems. If we put everybody on it we would still devise new ways of praying or dancing to stop gods killing infants.

In general it's better not to put EVERYBODY on the same problem. Humankind is pretty good at solving many problems in parallel. Some people are better at X, others at Y. Also there might be interactions that we don't know upfront. Maybe designing space colonies gives us a cheap way to filter water on Earth as a byproduct? Would be pretty stupid to wait forever because we guessed the order wrong.

Cancer is more serious than broken bones or flu, but it doesn't mean that we should assign all doctors to only deal with cancer until it's solved.

Not only that, but R&D can sometimes solve the other problem. Like synthetic nitrogen for fertilizers.

A lot of people say (I have no idea how true this is) that the problem isn't growing enough food, it's getting that food too people. What if we can grow rice or wheat on the moon, or ganymeade, or a spacestation or whatnot and drop it where it needs to go a-la Moon Is A Harsh Mistress style.

R&D is looking forward. Pointing at it and saying "people are hungry" is willfully ignorant of how science has played a roll in feeding more and more people and is a defeatists attitude.
