Excess deaths are not an anomaly to begin with. Year 2000 saw excess deaths, so did 2014.

Also, when you have deliberatly forced an additional 150 million people into extreme poverty to keep them healthy ( as it were ), you are bound to see a spike in deaths.

Frankly I am surprised the death toll of the brutal restrictions toward marginalized populations is not higher.

I suspect we will soon reap the dubious benefits of undoing 35 years of 3rd world progress in 22 months.

N=1 but... I was severely overweight for decades and went to a very low carb diet to lose weight. It worked. I lost a hundred pounds in 7 months and have stayed steady at my ideal weight now for over three years.

A very low carb diet also dramatically reduces HFCF as well as most highly processed foods and it definitely had a dramatic effect improving my emotional and mental state too, even though I wasn't expecting it to. It's really helped my stay low

As others have mentioned, you have your terms backwards. We already have nuclear fission, and its only problem is political FUD[1]. I can't imagine that the fossil fuel industry's FUD machine will spare fusion energy.

> “the price of sex with women” is the most joyless thing I’ve ever read here

Prostitution is an industry entirely built upon the price of sex with women.

You can do a thought exercise about what would happen if it was entirely legal with modern financial tools. it would be a bigger shift than just adding property tax in China. Everything would get repriced, from real estate to the wage gap in non prostitutional professions. These thought exercises are not for the faint of heart.
I wouldn't believe the "many engineers at senior level" part without further evidence. When I was there for eight years, there was a consistent pattern of people being stuck below their proper level because any given manager could only promote so many per year and people had to "wait their turn" no matter how much they deserved the change. That was all before the IBM acquisition, but not by that much and even in context I'd be surprised if things had changed that drastically.
Yes, you actually did and that you do not realize that you did is cause for concern.
There was a thread here a few weeks ago where someone mentioned a specific group that does select for intelligence and consequently has statistically above-average IQ.

That thread was shouted down because people basically said "even if that's true, we don't want to talk about it because it's close to scientific racism." That may be fine and I can see how that topic is counter productive sometime but in this case I think it goes to the parent's point, that some populations DID evolve a higher mean intelligence and are reaping the rewards.
Just to verify that we are on the same page. Are you claiming that given spacific x (and thus also h(x)) for a cryptographic hash function with output length n bits you can compute a y so that h(x) = h(y) in time 2^(n/2) with a reasonable probability of success without controlling the value of x? If so I would love to see a proof of concept, because I would expect the time to be 2^n/2 = 2^(n-1).
This is a flex.

Merchants WANT people to use credit cards. There is nothing stopping merchants from offering a cash/debit price and a credit price since 10 years ago. The frank dodd legislation made illegal for card networks to ban offering discounts for debit card payments, and in Mar 2017, the Supreme Court said merchants cannot be barred from advertising higher prices for credit cards.

https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/new...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expressions_Hair_Design_v._Sch...

It is very clear that most merchants earn more from people using credit cards more often, otherwise they would try to dissuade or offset it by adding a premium for using credit cards.

Target sort of does this by giving a 5% discount if you pay via ACH from your bank account (via a debit target redcard account), and in the western US, a grocery store company called Winco advertises it does not take credit cards at all in order to provide the lowest prices.

On the other hand, Aldi in the US used to only take debit cards, and they started taking credit cards 5 or so years ago, so they are obviously assuming they will earn more money by lifting prices a little and attracting credit card users.

A phone call takes you away from any local social activity. Sitting in front of a computer isolates you. Listening and watching a movie with headphones requires isolation. Why wouldn't VR be similiar? Were isolated now looking at our phones all day.
Similarly on macOS. There is a limit of 64 gigs in the VM compressor (in-core and on-disk compressed "segments" combined); when this is reached, a process that owns more than 50% of the compressed memory can be killed.

See no_paging_space_action() in:

https://opensource.apple.com/source/xnu/xnu-7195.81.3/bsd/ke...

Edit: I think the 64 gigs number is out of date -- looks like it's now based in part on the amount of physical memory in the machine.

This statement appears to imply that you cannot sue your employer, because of a conflict of interest. I could almost see where you're going with this if the employer is the plaintiff, but when the employer is the defendant, that would be completely absurd.
The ultimate calm phone technology for me was the simple LED indicator on my original Android phone, a nice soft green that would blink when you had a new message.

I don't think this would have much of an impact since it would only require the attacker to change the injection point from the install to swapping out the "main" entry in the package json to a compromised file, right?

I think the problems of npm and the js world in general is the depth and breadth of the dependency trees and the misunderstanding of transitive dependencies. I've heard devs say that they only have a single dependency when using CRA (which IIRC pulls in 1500ish transitive dependencies). I've heard devs say that a dependency is always better (even if it replaces a single line of code) than your own code.

Besides that even simple dependencies seem to be updated even when they were "done". Many devs see a repo that has not had a commit for a few months and consider the project dead instead of done, so there is an incentive to keep updating things that didn't need updating or for dependents to switch to "actively developed" projects for their dependencies.

So yes, requiring 2fa would be great, making the install steps not able to run arbitrary code would be great, and most of all requiring repeatable builds from source would be great. I still think the problem at the core would remain, which is that the ecosystem is too hooked on excessive dependency usage and sees newness as a virtue.

You should look at getting a charge card. Basically a credit card where you can't keep a balance. Its basically a pay-after debit card where you can not pay a charge if its fraud.

Ashley Biden Says She Was Molested by Her Father Joe Biden as a Kid
Needs more filters. I'd like ones that are based on popularity, so people (for instance) can aim for a name that is neither very popular or extremely rare. So many other things that could be filtered on.

I personally would like one that allows you to pick them based on popularity in parts of the world (for instance I might want to view names that is more popular in Europe than in the US), or even one that lets you choose names with or without diacritics. (I wanted a name for my daughter that had a "heavy metal umlaut" like Zöe but the mom ruled it out, which was a good idea now that I'm not on a Mac and I realize how freaking hard it is to type that)

>Almost all patients had resolution of symptoms and signs and improvement in diagnostic markers and imaging with or without treatment. Despite rare cases of myocarditis, the benefit-risk assessment for COVID-19 vaccination shows a favorable balance for all age and sex groups; therefore, COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for everyone ≥12 years of age.

There's some interesting arguments in favor of the combination of magnetic and interial approaches. This is broadly known as 'magneto-inertial fusion', and there's a continuum of ideas between 'mostly inertial' and 'mostly magnetic'. I'd put Helion's approach far toward the magnetic side.

No, the point is that these neighborhoods aren't just relativist taste and opinion. Human-scale walkable life is more deeply and objectively a better way to live.

Your last sentence gets in the right direction. There are TONS of "right" ways to design a city. ZERO of them are car-dependent. Car-dependent building approaches are a completely new experiment that is less than 100 years old, and it is a failure.

This is not about styles and trends. All the changes in styles and trends across huge diversity of human societies went along for thousands of years without car-dependency.

Around 80 years ago, people started building fundamentally unsustainable, impoverished, inhuman, financially insolvent styles of development on a grand scale, and it turns out that about any place that has been protected from that experiment is now desirable, and it's not because the features are culturally associated with wealth or because they are in historic prime locations, it's because car-dependent life is crappy, and people with enough wealth to escape it without cramming into extreme density are often doing that, and it's possible to build medium-density non-car-dependent life for far more people and we should be doing it.
I was speaking about the broader electronics market. I don't really view anything post Lenovo sale to be a thinkpad - there is practically zero design continuity. I think the [T|W]520 was the last IBM design, the product of a left seat right seat transition, where Lenovo's contribution was restricted to basically slapping their badge on it. After that the consistent method of segmenting by travel/performance design consideration was replaced by an explosion of confusing product offerings that seem to be a lot of distinction without difference. Oh, and they immediately (no joke, the first order of business) got rid of the most iconic thing about the brand: the nice keyboard. It really makes you wonder why they even bother pretending.

I just tried this, I opened my bank's app and it took me the whole of 2 minutes to set up a standing order to pay my friend £10 on the first of the month.

My bank mailing cheques to my landlord is a concept that's just bizarre to me.
You can also define a memory leak as retaining memory outside of the scope its needed. The program lifespan is one of those scopes, but there are also smaller scopes you can leak memory to. An example is the per-request scope on a server.

> Otherwise you're just using memory leak to mean "My objects live longer than I thought", which is an issue probably affecting more than 99% of existing programs.

Yes, it's a class of errors. Big programs always have errors, so it's not necessarily helpful to say "this program has a null-pointer error" or "this program has a memory leak". The scope of the problem depends on the impact caused by the error.

For example, a memory leak during a computation could still bring down your program. Imagine a file uploader which does an md5 computation of a file before uploading the file. If the uploader pulls the entire file into memory for checksumming when it didn't intend to, a large file could cause an OOM error and crash your program. That is a memory leak even though it is scoped to the md5 operation and not the program lifetime.
DRM was not the main issue we faced, just one of many. I wasn't vague, Twitter limits size to 280 chars. We developed a decision spreadsheet with the data in almost all the rows weighing against Gecko.

Your "seeming enthusiasm for burning some bridges behind him" is bunk. On what did you base it?

Again, we started Brave based on Gecko (multiprocess sandboxed embedding via Graphene, which was developed for FirefoxOS). We did not just jump to Chromium upon founding. A startup is a no-BS/little-room-for-error setting with scarce capital. To suggest I did anything uneconomic out of spite is silly.
