> The multiplayer side won't be interesting unless the world is persistent, so you have to split the world into several servers to not overload servers, because players need to cross the path of other players for the game to feel alive.

Honestly, you only need some shared towns to be persistent. Everything else being ephemeral could be made a feature through lore (i.e. reality destroying mists which eats the world whenever nobody is watching, player characters try to fight against the neverending destruction by venturing out into the world, temporarily reclaiming parts for harvesting etc.)

The biggest issue would be to actually generate towns, npc story etc on the fly. I think you're really underestimating the size of that challenge. Generating assets like that is generally the most expensive part of game development with multiple people working on each one. If you automate that away, you'll be able to make a ton of money just by providing modules for unreal engine and unity.
Not even close to true.

US GDP in 1965 was $743.7 billion[0].

NASA's budget peaked in 1964–66 when it consumed roughly 4% of all federal spending. The agency was building up to the first Moon landing and the Apollo program was a top national priority, consuming more than half of NASA's budget and driving NASA's workforce to more than 34,000 employees and 375,000 contractors from industry and academia.

$5 billion is 0.67% of $743.7 billion.

1. Where do you pick your transmission data from? Are there credible studies? VE is the closest proxy for infecting other persons. Beyond that it is difficult to guess transmissibility, in particular because asymptomatic infections and differences in behavior.

2. I expect a vaccine to significantly (VE >90%) reduce infection probability for at least 10 years. These vaccines ain't that. While I'm vaccinated, I have not signed up for an endless stream of "boosters" every 6 months or so. Probably I'll be declared "unvaccinated" with a straight face and excluded from society in the not-so-far future.
This was a problem I’d really hoped Keybase would solve. Thanks Zoom. Whenever I rebuild my Mac I seem to inexplicably have endless problems getting GPG and Git to play nice.

I quite like the idea of using my SSH Keys for this use case as it makes setting this up incredibly simple. I seem to spend a non zero amount of time helping developers and QAs at work setting up SSH Keys for GitHub, I might as well get them to sign commits at the same time now.

Chances are you're already using SSH keys for SSH authentication, whether for your own machines or as part of a Pubnix/tilde server [0]. That can prove useful for signing data in a server-to-server model (eg. to advertise vhosts to mirror or provide secondary NS/MX for) or identifying users on a less-secure channel (eg. SSH-sign a JSON HTTP request).

When you think about it, SSH keys are used as identifiers (just like PGP keys) so there's no reason not to use them as such. But as you pointed out, SSH doesn't have a WoT yet so we rely on trusted 3rd parties to discover keys (so far).

I have been interested to see what one can do in Smartsheets. However, I have also ended up debugging the workflows set up by a co-worker--not particularly technical. I guess that I would say that the Smartsheets workflows reduce the need for coding, but not for considering possible states and transitions.

And the creators of Smartsheets seem to have heard and run with somebody's maxim that "It doesn't matter what users say they want, they want Excel."

It's really not the business of the US government to be sanctioning China over "better rights for their citizens", when the US has already got massive prison labour camps, racist policing system, and has mishandled the Cvid-19 pandemic to the point where there's a million dead and more injured long-term from long Covid.

China is not a perfect system, and the response to terrrorism in Xinjiang should probably not be extensive prison camps and a surveillance state - but again, the US doesn't have a leg to stand on for criticising this when their response to terrorism is to lay waste to several different countries and cause millions of deaths.

It's all very well for us to sit here and wish for a better system in China, but we all have a much better chance of fighting for and winning a better system here in the USA that would actually change lives here.

You do all that work at the precise point where the last reference was dropped.

TL;DR: A bunch of businessmen in Helsinki were selected for a long-term study on cardiological issues (cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease). Some were identified to be in a high CVD risk group. Then, that group was split into intervention group and control group.

> The multifactorial intervention consisted of both intensive lifestyle modification (diet, exercise, smoking, alcohol) and contemporary drug treatment (using mostly diuretics and beta-blockers for hypertension, clofibrate and probucol for hyperlipidaemia). Control groups were in usual care.

In the end, higher original CVD risk was found to correspond to higher mortality, and a few of previously somewhat-noncontroversial facts were confirmed (alcohol consumption, smoking, BMI contributing to poorer health).

What’s interesting, though, is that after checking mortality and causes of death in the national registry later those in the intervention group were found to do worse than high-risk non-intervention (control) group.

The “refused” group (which consisted of both low-risk and high-risk men who declined to participate in the intervention) also had higher mortality.

I’m sure there’s a bunch of confounding variables (I’d particularly look at using all the meds as part of the intervention), but it’s interesting.

> A national register-based follow-up for mortality and causes of death through 1989 (i.e. 10 years post-trial) in the intervention and control groups unexpectedly showed that all-cause and especially cardiac mortality was increased in the intervention group as compared with high-risk controls. The controversial results were published in JAMA in 19854 and post-trial results 1991. The results raised wide international discussion in both medical journals and the lay press.

> Thus far, explanations of this adverse result have not surfaced; for example, cholesterol lowering, or the lower HDL cholesterol induced by probucol treatment in the intervention group, did not explain the adverse result. Psychological stress associated with the guidance for lifestyle changes in the intervention group has been hypothesized to be an explanatory factor. Long-term follow-up and new analyses of baseline factors in a hypothesis-generating manner are ongoing.

My intuition is that approaching individual metrics like low cholesterol, etc. as “causing” better health is not necessarily effective, if they’re more of indicators of some other underlying cause.
This is clearly a military oriented startup.

For sending civilian payloads into space, it has a very low chance to reach a price point that is competitive with reusable rockets. You either need an absolutely gargantuan centrifuge -> high capital costs - or you need to subject your payload to thousands of Gs. "The payload" is in this scenario must include 1 ton liquid fuel rocket for every 200Kg you want to put into space, or 1 ton solid for every 100Kg.

You have to ensure this "second stage" will never explode inside your centrifuge despite being subjected to orders of magnitude higher loads than the typical rocket. This is possible but very expensive, you will need huge structural mass to hold what would appear to be thousands of tons of propelant at 1G. So the mass fraction goes down, the costs of the rocket and centrifuge "spin" out of control, and you provide a paltry orbital capacity of a few tens of Kg and only for specifically engineered satellites that no existing manufacturer knows how to build. A commercial dead end.

For military applications on the other hand, it's close to perfect. You don't need orbital insertion, you can accelerate your payload silently without allowing for detection in the early phase of the attack, your projectile starts at essentially cruise speed and can only be detected by infrared emissions due to atmospheric heating for a few seconds until the launch ablative heatshields are ejected. It's a fantastic first strike weapon.

UK banks are pretty heavily regulated. For example, the overdraft fee spiral has been banned and in many cases banks were required to pay compensation.

Yet we have quite a lot of banks to pick from - around 60 if you include building societies (more if you include private, niche and specialist banks). We also have a fair few new and digital challenger banks like Monzo, Starling, Atom, Revolut and arguably Metro Bank. If anything our banking system seems far more innovative than the US system.

I don't know about Canada, but clearly regulations don't mean that you can't have competition and innovation.

I'd say a good historical analogues (personal opinion ofc) would be the fall the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

I think you just chose a hard way out of habit :) If it were pi-like platform instead of esp, you could just ssh and vi new “gpio …” lines into your crontab (depending on how the lights are connected). I dealt with esp before too and it’s really of “8-bit++” kind, missing all the power of software we built in recent 30 years, so you have to reinvent wheels too often. The only reason these platforms still evolve is they are much cheaper if you plan to ship thousands pcs or make them work in limited environments.
This and the glee of executives over systems that increase the potential for overdrafts or charge backs is why I’m glad to not be in banking anymore.

One of the very particular "undebuggable" issues (safe) Rust solves is data races.

Experience tells us that humans can't successfully reason about non-trivial concurrent programs unless they exhibit Sequential Consistency. In Rust you're promised this is what you get. Maybe what you wrote is stupid and wrong, but it has Sequential Consistency. "Oh," you exclaim during debugging, "A might happened before B and then we're in a pretty pickle" - you found the bug, now you just need to fix it. This promise is delivered by never allowing code to have references to things some other code might change, thus eliminating data races.

In most other languages that offer concurrency this promise only applies if you wrote a program with no data races and the responsibility to ensure that is with you, so you can accidentally write programs that don't have Sequential Consistency and thus... "Wait, so, A happened before B and B happened before A? Huh? I don't even understand the bug".
