Gonna have a hard time trusting information from 'drugabuse.gov', given our nations shakey history with drugs. Egg on my face for saying that though given this quote from a little further down than yours

"However, while a few small, uncontrolled studies have suggested that heavy, regular marijuana smoking could increase risk for respiratory cancers, well-designed population studies have failed to find an increased risk of lung cancer associated with marijuana use."
That's a good point, I was wondering about the dose myself but I couldn't assess it. Seems like we might be off by a few orders of magnitude here.

Edit:

I've looked at the link provided:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7172803/

These numbers are not as far off (within a single order of magnitude) as the ones Lowe cites, but definitely outside the realm of "generally considered safe" dose. That's for the mechanism discussed there, where the IC50 was only 2µM.

Translated to the "protease inhibitor" scenario discussed in the video, it's way off. The IC50 there is 21µM. At only 2µM the effect is negligible.

What never seems to come up is that as far as ads are concerned and with the amount and kinds of data that these companies are and have been collecting, your name is worth zilch. "Anonymized" is a red herring.
I imagine adversaries of the West are having the biggest laugh at us voluntarily giving up key commodity production abilities in the name of combatting climate change.
Hehe, Russia's just for heating. France for everything else. Poland, Hungary and Greece do our border checks. America does our defense. China is our only customer left and all our "dirty jobs" are done by Eastern Europeans.

If that's what it takes to be morally sound - then bring it on destiny, I say, bring it on!

> All you'd need to do is find the place where your target is going and either bribe the teenager behind the counter or, depending on the value of the target, compromise the distributor from wherever the parts are coming. This is neither expensive nor difficult to do.

Sure you won't find strange that your smartphone disappear and appear later on, probably turned off (or at least asking for password) because I can't imagine someone doing this procedure with it powered on.

BTW, if you're really a so important target that your life depends on your phone not being tapped, you probably at this point would just throw away your phone and buying another, even if it is completely secure (that I am sure it iPhones isn't). I can imagine many other ways of compromising your privacy just by adding a small GPS tracker or something similar, and this way I don't even need to have access to the original hardware.

Now, of course only a small handful of people needs that amount of security. For most people, having hardware-level encryption of the data contents is fine, of course with trusted path with the bio-metric sensors so a just swap of parts doesn't give access to all its data. This level of security is available in any Android/iPhone. Anything else is just justification to allow Apples to earn even more money.
Looks interesting.

Quick note: the first time I went to the site it was blank other than the navbar. I did a refresh, but back and then forward again, finally went to tap the hamburger icon and the content showed.

I suspect maybe the content load is massive, since the page length looks very long. Maybe a spinner or shorter page would prevent this UX delay.

Subsequent page loads bring up the content right away.
Would be worth specifying the laptop and the APU so we can avoid similar pains and shame the manufacturer (or AMD) into fixing it.
Maybe you didn't consent to the data being sold, yet it was sold anyway?

In the US, except in California perhaps, you have no recourse. In the EU, that's a violation of GDPR and various local data protection laws. Elsewhere, unclear.

None of those questions are new, nor show stoppers for existing plants. Why do you think the existing procedures may not be satisfactory? (I'm assuming you think so based on the way you ask the question)

EDIT: to be clear, I'm not asking this as a backhanded question. I'm genuinely curious why this is not seen as a "solved problem", at least in a country with relatively strong government institutions
Alstom hasn’t been purchased by a US company AFAIK.

Are you talking about the sale of its power sector to GE in 2014? It is mostly about turbines, not the nuclear aspect, which is more typically under the expertise of Areva NC / Orano Cycle <https://www.orano.group/en>.
Show HN: Ticktock – A Python code metering library
I built a Python code metering library to track the execution time of bits of Python code.

You can create clocks anywhere as so:

from ticktock import tick

clock = tick()
# do some work
clock.tock()

Any encountered clock is registered and its timing measured, aggregated and printed periodically.

The output consists in one line per clock:

[some_file.py:4-6] 43us count=21
[lib.py:44-68] 500ms count=5034

(continuously updated as clocks are stepped through more times)

I find this convenient for quick-and-dirty Python profiling, especially for code that runs many times over.

I am happy to take any feedback or issues. There are a couple of known bugs (tqdm progress bars for a start), but it mostly does the job!
Hey there,
Yea...

You'd actually get rid of the biggest spyware - Google ;)

Our extension is 33kB and has not other function than changing your default (and checking if the extension itself is installed).

You actually can try it out in incognito mode and any other browser. But we found that without the convenience of a navbar search, most people won't give it a proper try either way.

I hope we can drop this requirement even in Chrome when we become one of the default options.
We will implement an a/b test and see if we can get rid of the requirement even earlier.

If you set your search engine default to https://you.com manually in Chrome with "https://you.com/search?q=%s" you will not need the extension... but for most people convenience wins and well...

It's tough to go up against a monopoly that controls the browser too?

You can find more details for every browser setup here: https://youdotcom.notion.site/Make-You-com-your-default-sear...
No no no no. Let's go down the list, shall we. Remember, COVID or not, remote work trend accelerating or not, things have not changed as much as they seem:

* People STILL want to migrate to the US and it will remain one of the top choices. People move her for economic/job opportunities, sure, but that's not all.

* Outsourcing (or hiring remote teams in remote offices), as well as setting up remote and international offices has been going on for .... I can't even remember. 100 years? This was already happening and will keep happening.

* Timezones are a physical problem and cannot be fixed. Sorry. Remote work or not, people don't want to work at 1 AM so they can talk to another team half-way around the world at 7 AM. This was true yesterday and it will remain true today.

* Culture issues will remain. True yesterday. True today.

* Language issues will remain. True yesterday. True today.

* US will continue to remain a country people WANT to live in and stay in once they are here. Remote work will certainly allow some people to move abroad and continue working because that's something they really want. But the data definitely doesn't suggest some sea change here. True yesterday. Remains largely true today.
Both recycling fuel and breeder reactors have side effects that could be used for proliferation.

France is one of the few countries that do recycle spent fuel. https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/news/frances-efficiency-in-t...

France is a nuclear capable country, so the proliferation risk is fairly low from what I understand. They could even sell the plants abroad and bring the waste back to France to be recycled.

Germany is not a nuclear capable country, and I am not sure how they feel about France being their primary source of energy (or enriched uranium, if they have their own plants). Hopefully they prefer French nuclear energy to Russian oil and gas.
Even NTFS has compression, so it doesn't seem to be that simple.
> Most people aren't willing to crawl underneath houses to hook up potentially-dangerous electric/gas lines. etc.

In a past life, I tried the general laborer gamit and it's impossible to get a job there too. Simply cause nobody hires you unless it's by word of mouth. So it's even worse than being shut out for not having a degree. So overall, it's no so much that people don't believe that they need a degree, it's the path of least resistance since you can at least get your foot in the door through a company once you pass the minimum qualifications. General labor stuff, good luck getting a job in a specialized field. I tried breaking into HVAC and I couldn't even get an unpaid apprenticeship cause people just won't do it.
In recent years, the collaboration between France and Germany in energy production was very beneficial. There are times, when Germany does import electricity from France, this is increasing the profitability of the nuclear reactors, as they can be run at a higher percentage of their capacity, which generally is larger than the French requirements. To be able to follow the varying requirements of the grid, they usually run at 75% load on average. Selling surplus capacity is very attractive then. On the other side, there are times when surplus renewable energy is very welcome in France, when the reactory are struggling to keep up with demand, e.g. when they are low on cooling capacity due to low waters. Germany is still a net electricity exporter.
I run 10 years old HP servers, something like DL580G5, with care-packs (extended, paid warranty). We needed to flash firmware, 2 motherboards broke and they sent spare parts to replace.
Probably with less enterprise-y server firms it may be difficult to find spare parts after 10 years..
Clang supports it in C++ mode but not GCC sadly :(
> but there is no way for the system itself to treat that as an invoice, so it's only confusing to humans.

I agree in principle, but then you have Windows skipping version 9 because of all of the `version.hasPrefix("9")` out in the world that were trying to cleverly handle both 95 and 98 at once. If a feature of data is exploitable, there's a strong chance it will be exploited.
Weta, ILM and Pixar were always some sort of beacon of innovation not only in visual development but also in development in general they usually pushed for standards and compatibility between different software packages, operating systems and so much more. Some of their open sourced tools are now standard like munki https://www.munki.org/. I am saddened to see that none of them could stay independent.
Reddit has a few subreddits dedicated to uranium investing. I caught wind of this a few months ago, and my investments are doing well.

Some in the community seem to think that the market will 10-20x due to the world waking up to the immediate, pressing need for nuclear. (Insufficient wind/solar capacity, storage, transmission, etc.)

There are also some interesting behaviors going on in the uranium market, where certain players are buying up all of the supply. It's short-squeezeish in nature.

China announcement, French announcement. US uranium exploration. Lots going on.

I'd say that, but Xi Grand Pooh has made it a prime objective to achieve reunification with Taiwan before 2049, the 100th year anniversary. It's time the USA signed a defence pact with Taiwan.

I don’t have an academic paper, but I got the same story from several pretty big rental providers. (I needed about a dozen golf carts for a project)

It was crazy - the rental places had no inventory because gold courses weren’t offloading older gold carts due to the supply chain issues.

We ended up buying a smaller number of bigger utility vehicles from Bass Pro Shops, of all places! The techs had fun with that.
> its a cool Visual FX studio not a technology company..

Weta develops metric tones of tech internally, including employing some of the top graphics researchers at various points in their careers. There is tons of tech talent in VFX and animation shops. Hell, I work with libraries open sourced by Pixar as part of my day job at a FAANG.
Yes, dealing with these situations is hard.

But relatively speaking, I'd rather be able to easily access photos and so on (if granted permission) than not.

And hopefully there will be many good memories to look at.

Utah released plans for the new electronic ID a couple of weeks back which, among other things, would contain your "vaccination status" and "social credit scoring".

Conservative press is abuzz with this (including photos of the promo leaflet), liberal press is dead silent. Since nobody on this site will believe a conservative news source, I'm not even going to bother providing a link. If you're in Utah, ask your local government to put an end to this horseshit before it's too late.
Set the government student loan ceiling according to the university and degree program. One way to do this would be to peg it to the median earnings of recent grads (determined via tax reporting).

Want to pursue a pre-medical degree at USC? Great! The government will loan you up to some large amount. Want to pursue a humanitarian degree at XYZ tech online? Great! The government will loan you a small amount. Remove the externality on society.

I cannot tell what the author intends. Is it hoped MS will make D3Dx code more portable to Vulkan? Or that Vulkan will be made more portable from D3Dx? Is it meant to help the next poor sod obliged to do the same chore? Or an extended, and ultimately futile, gripe?
Well, sure, if it is an organic economic/social phenomenon and the natural result of development of a society and economy, fine. But if the rise of throwaway culture were entirely organic we wouldn't have attempts to ban repair and planned obsolescence.
It is exactly that. Schools just want people to churn and nothing more. They don't care even if you graduate. The worst part is that everybody thinks education is the lifeblood of happy people so you can't tell these schools to screw without some insane liberal screaming you're trying to disenfranchise the poor.

The thing is, most kids go to school not knowing what they want to do. If that is the case, going to college is the absolute worst possible decision you could ever make. On top of that, you might even be going into a field you despise but can't back out now.
Game developers can mint more tokens at any time. There's nothing technical ensuring scarcity of NFTs, and gentleman's agreements don't need a blockchain.

For game assets the game is necessarily the central trusted authority. Ethereum has a speed of C64 and latency of a postal pigeon, so you can't run a game server on the chain. Therefore, you have to trust an off-chain game to actually honor what the blockchain says. This is not substantially different than Steam CS:Go skins, except for industrial-scale coal-rolling.
in other words the tech is poorly implemented and the idea is obvious? ;-)

What's more - Unity is actually considering adding crypto mitigations since one of the largest underground projects to subvert nVidia's "LHR" eth mining mitigations was a miner literally implemented within a unity "game". Similar to this xbox project - the key was writing shaders that would complete the same computations needed for eth mining.

However, other mining software providers found superior albeit simpler workarounds before the project using unity was able to release anything of substance. However, wouldn't be surprised if something like that is already in the wild.

How much do you enjoy going to bed? I mean how satisfying is it for you to lay down in the end of a day? How much conscious thought do you give to this moment of lying down? Do you already have a bad feeling about it?

For me it’s like this: I’m never in my bed during daytime. Also, I do not use my phone in the bed. I don’t watch TV lying in my bed. My bed is actually the most comfortable and peaceful place in this world that I can be in. I make my bed every day in the morning so that I can return to it and it’s perfectly prepared for my evening-self. I have a particular setup of my pillow. A small cozy blanket to cover it and the area below my shoulders. Whatever works for you. I can also recommend to get some high quality material linen.

Whenever I decide I go to bed, I’m actually looking forward to just lay down on my back and enjoy this wonderful feeling. I reflect on my day, thinking how well it feels to lay here.

The time before lying down I have somewhat a routine of dimmed lights which are located low (in altitude) in the room. There are receptors in the lower area of your eyes which become active when you have light from right above. Just try to have an atmosphere in your room similar to a sunset.
Maybe try to sit down with a cup of tea.
Prepare for that moment of laying down.

Another thing that helps me tremendously is to do some very deep stretching or yoga right before bed time. I feel that it’s the best possible preparation to relax. There are stretches which you hold for 5 minutes in one position. After these deep stretches, which already calm your mind down - you can feel the relaxing reeling in your legs strongly when you lay down and pay attention.

Usually sleep comes very quickly for after this routine. It came to me over time, what works for me. I’m pretty sure it’s different for you - just to give you some inspiration.

Hope it helps.

Sideloading seems like an exotic and vaguely illicit sounding way of saying "installing applications not from Apple's app store". This is kind of the mirror image of phrasing it like "install apps without paying Apple 30%"

Annoyingly, entrenched powers have the podium and often claim the prerogative of coining the terminology for the debate. Not that they don't have a somewhat defensible position in terms of security. But an effective Apple and Android smartphone duopoly hardly makes the decisions of one player some neutral "let the free market sort it out" kind of proposition.
I use this for internal items, as in: real customer IDs start at 10,000, so we have 9,999 possible users/invoices/whatever for our own usage in the database. That makes it easy to filter demo accounts of your sales employees, or production test accounts, in queries: just add an offset.

The historical problem of Russia is inability of exporting any produce other than raw materials, on account of having Europe as neighbour which can produce anything easier and often cheaper.

But now, with the carbon tax and gas prices in EU, I wonder if Russian mfg capacity will suddently become competitive.

The funniest thing would be Europe pricing itself out of Russian oil due to carbon tax, and then buying now-cheap goods from Russia made based on affordable oil.

I agree, I had that experience too. SO duplicates are bad but official documentation pages of libraries would be very good, so I guess it'll be a bit difficult to determine which pages should be allowed as there will be quite a few domains.
disagree with this point. I rather have more objective ads driven journalism than subscription "professional journalism". subscription are even more biased and create further silos for mis/information.
