The hostname of my IP is actually also bound to my ISP. So it's ip-83-xxxxx.dsl.scarlet.be

Where .be would be a clear indicator of my country ( and the ISP i'm using). The other ones in Belgium had a similar flow ( I switch sometimes )

I didn't argue the government deserves no credit. Enforcing basic rule of law is essential for life to be anything but miserable. I argued giving it power to "intervene" has a proven track record of (at worst) causing evil things to happen, and (at best) not solving what it has sought to solve.

I do not understand why there is a huge gap between scientific knowledge and physicians.

I had a problem with an allergic reaction to an antibiotic. This resulted in me actually paying attention to drug labels, side effects and what a drug is being prescribed for. It has quite literally ruined my trust in doctors.

Last year I had stomach pain, I thought it was appendix. So, I went to an urgent care because my physician could not see me. They had access to my medical records. Quickly, I receive a diagnosis of "Diverticulitis". 2 minutes later I'm given a prescription for Cipro, which I'm deadly allergic to. New guidelines suggest not using antibiotics in uncomplicated diverticulitis. I didn't take the meds, and I'm pretty sure I just pulled an abdomen muscle as it healed over the next few weeks.

I have many stories from sports injuries and doctors offering steroid injections as first line treatment, which is no longer recommended.

NSAIDs are also not recommended for tendon injuries and it is the first thing the doctor will offer.

I don't get it. The information is easily available. Saying I read a study or a updated recommendation gets most doctors visibly upset. Not sure if it is the long working hours and trying to move as many patients as possible or just lack of giving a fuck.
I am co-founder of Zaraz. The description is there is actually old. Zaraz doesn't load the Facebook Pixel in the website at all. It loads it completely server side.

It's very different from Segment, mostly because it essentially requires not client side JS at all. We're using the fact we can tap on the request on the CDN level, and then just use that information to forward the data to third parties. I explained the process in detail here: https://blog.cloudflare.com/zaraz-use-workers-to-make-third-...
You can categorize "humility and willingness to possibly be perceived as dumb" as non-communication skills, but in my mind they are:

A) the most important indicators of likely success on the team
B) very correlated with comfort in speaking

If I can't get you to talk at all when you're uncomfortable, you're unlikely to tell me you don't understand in the often uncomfortable iterating on a feature process.

It's possible to be gregarious AND be unable to ever admit that you lack critical information, which is why interviews, for me, are mostly about asking questions until we get to the point you don't know/don't understand, and see how you work with me from there on.

What a lot of people who get stressed about interviews don't realize, though, is that WHERE PRECISELY you reach your limits is unimportant. It's that you engage thoughtfully, without getting overly defensive, and don't bullshit. Not about whether you got the right answer at any given spot.
Suppose someone plans to create a multitasking OS for a z80 based computer lacking memory protection. With the goal of saving memory and to guarantee memory isolation between processes, it is decided that the OS would actually be a byte-code interpreter capable of running multiple programs at the same time.

So, a byte-code must be chosen to the project. Brainfuck is considered at first: it is extremely simple to implement but is rejected because has very little code density. Then, Chip-8 is considered: it is simple to implement and there are many programs and tools already available. Then p-code is looked at, but it is nowhere near as popular as Chip-8 and apparently not as simple to implement. Other vm's are considered but are rejected because they are not simple or not very popular: SWEET16, ijvm and tinybasic.

Now, what is a good choice for such a situation? What is a good byte-code for such an endeavor? Restrictions are: 64kb of RAM not counting graphics or overlays for drivers that can be dynamically loaded, possibility of running 3 to 10 tasks at the same time, with a good balance of code density and performance, easy to implement and possibly with available tools or good example programs?

Good news, since the JWST started the US alone has pushed in $7.087 billion dollars into fusion research [1]

By the time it finishes it's mission we're likely to have exceeded that $11 billion budget in fusion research.

Unfortunately, I don't think fusion is something simply solved by more money.

This prediction is based on feeding past hurricane data into a global climate model. Here is the abstract of the research paper that TFA (in Wired) is based on:

> ABSTRACT: Tropical cyclone (TC) track characteristics in a changing climate remain uncertain. Here, we investigate the genesis, tracks, and termination of >35,000 synthetic TCs traveling within 250 km of New York City (NYC) from the pre-industrial era (850-1800 CE) to the modern era (1970-2005) to the future (2080-2100 CE). Under a very high-emissions scenario (RCP8.5), TCs are more likely to form closer to the U.S. southeast coast (>15% increase), terminate in the northeastern Atlantic (>6% increase), and move most slowly along the U.S. Atlantic coast (>15% increase) from the pre-industrial to future. Under our modeled scenarios, TCs are more likely to travel within 100 km of Boston, Massachusetts, (p = 0.01) and Norfolk, Virginia (p = 0.05) than within 100 km of NYC in the future. We identify reductions in the time between genesis and the time when TCs come within 100 km of NYC, Boston, or Norfolk, as well as increased duration of TC impacts from individual storms at all three cities in the future.

Notice that the research is not saying anything about the frequency of these hurricanes. Even if simulating 35,000 hurricanes and feeding it through a GCM produces something interesting, I'm not entirely convinced by these findings. The GCMs have enough tuning parameters that it's likely one could get any result one wants from one. Even if the authors did a very good job with their simulations, the results might only apply to very rare hurricanes that happen to travel within 250 km of NYC.

In support of the research, it is published in Earth's Future that is peer reviewed.
Suddenly extremely worried about this:

"James Webb Telescope will run a proprietary JS interpreter by a bankrupt company
"

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19737663

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/252882358_Event-dri...

"The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will use an event-driven system architecture to provide efficient and flexible operations as initiated by a simplified, high-level ground command interface. Event-driven operations is provided through the use of an on-board COTS JavaScript engine hosted within the payload flight software..."

Edit: Found something ....Is it too late to postpone the launch?

https://www.stsci.edu/~idash/pub/dashevsky0607rcsgso.pdf

"...The JWST science operations will be driven by ASCII
(instead of binary command blocks) on-board scripts,
written in a customized version of JavaScript. The script
interpreter is run by the flight software, which is written
in C++. The flight software operates the spacecraft and
the science instruments.

The on-board scripts will autonomously construct
and issue commands, as well as telemetry requests, in
real-time to the flight software, to direct the
Observatory Subsystems (e.g., Science Instruments,
Attitude Control, etc.)...

The flight software will execute
the command sent by the calling on-board script and
return telemetry, which will be evaluated in real-time by
that on-board script. The calling script will then send
status information to a higher-level on-board script,
which contains the logic to skip forward in the
observing plan in response to certain events (see Section
4.1)... "

Found it...

"JWST uses an extended version of JavaScript, which
was developed as a COTS product called Nombas
ScriptEase 5.00e. ScriptEase provides functionality
common to many modern software languages and
follows the ECMAScript standard."

The combination of lower birth rates, not having a socialized retirement system and not having any significant estate tax seems tailor-made to build up an aristocracy over just a few generations.

1. Because birth rates are lower, being directly supported by one's children/grandchildren is no longer feasible.

2. No socialized retirement system. As a result, each individual must accumulate a small fortune in order to retire. Most retirement plans rely on living off of the investment income without touching the principal. Therefore, the amount required to retire is also sufficient for a person to live indefinitely. (Back of the envelope calculation, assuming 3% annual return on investment after inflation, $3M in retirement savings yields about $90k/year perpetually.)

3. Currently, the first $11.18M of an estate is entirely exempt from the estate tax, and the even the top marginal rate is only 40%. At no point would it prevent inheritance of a perpetuity by several descendants.

(1) is a long-term demographic change, and I think it's good overall, in terms of the care and attention children can receive. (2) forces the accumulation of wealth, out of fear of societal abandonment in old age. (3) allows those accumulations to persist across generations. I think that the appropriate spots to break this cycle are at (2), by instituting better social safety nets and retirement care, reducing the incentive to indefinitely accumulate, and at (3) by significantly increasing the estate tax.
Yep, and there's no straightforward way to know if you missed a message by looking at a timestamp alone. If I receive a message at time "1" then time "3", how will I know I was meant to have seen something at time "2"?

Sequence numbering is how FIX does it. And I think its quite neat that it does this at a _protocol_ level. This means that a FIX client/engine will typically take care of sequence numbering, out-of-order detection (can happen during re-send requests), buffering any ahead-of-time messages, requesting gapfills, etc. It will only present your application layer code with in-order messages.

I'm not aware of any universal pattern for dealing with poison pill messages. Completeness detection and dealing with messages that crash your system are 2 separate concerns.
We don't know if there are prominent people involved in every case in every courtroom in the world. Maybe Bill Clinton has been stalking Bushwick stealing bikes for the last 5 years. Probably not though. Meanwhile the most recent ex-president is directly implicated in trying to upend democracy and lying about deliberately spreading covid at the White House.

I suspect there is lead pipe in my water supply in London, UK. I got a lab test done in Germany -- I checked the German standards and I believe they mandate the use of the appropriate testing techniques; it seems impossible to get a reliable test done in London. The measured lead concentration was not above the last EU recomended safe level before they decided there was no safe level, but it wasn't much lower than that either.

The agency in London responsible, Thames Water, will replace any lead pipe in the public network leading to your building if you agree to replace any lead pipe on your property within 3 months.

But I live in a "leasehold" flat (common in London). So "you" for the purposes of that agreement would be not me but the "freeholder", who is responsible for building maintenance. To get them to do anything, I have to go to a lot of effort to get action out of the "management company" hired by the freeholder (and probably then be blamed by other leaseholders -- most of whom don't live here -- for costing them money to replace the pipe). I followed up with them maybe four times before giving up. I'm not the customer of the freeholder or of the management company. Reading up on the impact on adults (thought to be low compared to the impact on kids), I decided to just run my tap for a few minutes every day and store water to drink for that day (wasting lots of water in the process). I notified the other residents, some of whom have children, suggesting I could help take it further if others helped out. Nobody responded.
Fault is a rather morally strongly conoted term, but from a cybernetic analysis, the working class is contributing to the positive feedback loop of is own oppression.

That's not to say individuals that compose the class are all willingly and stupidily acting against their own collective best interest while being convince there's a better practical way they can afford to realize with only marginal chances to end up ostracized or severely punished for the sake of the example.

> The sad part is that async is SO infectious that you are forced to move all on it to align with the rest of the ecosystem.

That's the problem with monadic stuff in general. One solution to that might be to keep the async part on the "edge" of your programs (a bit like the functional core, imperative shell pattern or the hexagonal architecture), write all your logic without async and use async only on the edge.

>I assume "Taiwan region" is simply something to satisfy the PRC gov't (CCP) which believes Taiwan is a part of its country and governed by PRC.

To be fair, Taiwan (Officially the Republic of China) also claims that it is a part of China and is in fact the rightful rulers of China. The Kuomintang withdrew to Taiwan after losing control of mainland China to Mao and the Communists. I'm not super up to date on the latest claims between China and Taiwan, but Taiwan has never recognized officially that they do not rightfully control China.

3D Printed Lithographic Moon Lamp
From that video it appears the unfolding sequence is set to occur prior to the insertion burn into L2.

If the JWST will in fact spend almost a month in earth's orbit, does someone have an educated estimate on the magnitude of risk posed by space junk to nominal deployment?

Looking at those solar shields I imagine that they could be destroyed entirely by even the smallest of debris fragments. Same with the mirrors.

Edit: I'm wrong here (thanks @thethirdone). The burn set to occur after deployment is the L2 insertion burn and not the transfer insertion burn. Most of deployment will occur in the transfer orbit en route to L2, far away from earth-orbiting debris.
That just sounds like "I don't want progress because it will mean I have to learn new things and I don't want more work for myself". Well... tough luck?

Regardless, if you want to keep using C to write your Linux drivers, the new Rust support does not change that.

> With a geometric mean, all you need is one sample with lead exposure close to 0 to get a mean that's close to 0, even if all the other samples tested positive for extreme levels of lead exposure.

Not going to comment on whether arithmetic or geometric mean is more appropriate, but your comment is incorrect.

Yes, a number close to 0 brings everything down. But then you take the nth-root, which brings it back up again. Some examples - assume one of the numbers is 0.01 (close to 0).

2 samples means square root - that becomes 0.1
3 samples means cube root - that becomes 0.215
10 samples means 10th root - that becomes 0.63
20 samples means 20th root - that becomes 0.794

The more samples, the less impact an outlier like a number close to 0 will have.

Put another way, the arithmetic mean has the same problem. Extreme outliers can greatly influence the sum. But if you have enough samples, each extreme outlier is tempered a bit by dividing by n.
I would love a transcript or if someone who watched this could summarize it.
If you don't want to participate in the scam aspect, just don't resell. Or make sure someone you're selling to is comfortable with the value going to 0 (and wants artist to make any smart contract royalties).

But I'm sure this project will have many technological spinoffs that could, with only a little additional funding, be used either to kill a lot of people or to generate personal wealth for at least a few select individuals (and those are not mutually exclusive). It's a bargain at twice the price.
You know, kudos to Mozilla for trying so hard... but Google is just better at it. shrug. By all means, they can keep fighting that losing battle if they want, but the world has already moved on and forgotten them. Nobody cares anymore except a tiny niche on here and what's left on slashdot.

Maybe the ideology of it is really important to you. To me it's just a browser, and not worth fiddling with. Chrome does one thing really well, and that's getting out of my way. Firefox constantly interrupts, whatever the reason. I don't really care if they're struggling, sorry. Maybe that's an indication of their plummeting value to society. It's just not a useful product for most of the world anymore. If they can't afford to keep the lights on, maybe they could go the Brave or Opera route and make it a Chromium reskin without the Googly bits, and deprecate Gecko altogether. Maybe Firefox has some value as a nonprofit browser, but Gecko, as far as I can tell, does not -- to me and to most of the world.

Besides, it's not like the internet is any more open with Firefox... 90% of the content is just served from like 5 huge tech companies anyway. Third party tracking is less significant when all the first parties track everything directly and they host most of the content to begin with. And at the end of the day, the internet is just a time-waster full of crap, not some beautiful ideological hill for humanity to die on. We already lost that battle in the 2000s, and capitalism won.

As for Google, I already don't see any Google ads anywhere. The only effect I notice from their dragnet is that my Google News feed is annoyingly based on my browsing habits, which is unfortunate indeed. Other than that, Chrome is wonderfully unnoticeable... YMMV may vary, of course. And if they deploy those changes to the extension model and break uBlock, sure, I'll consider another browser. Probably Safari or Brave. Still not worth the hassle of Firefox.
The problem is that there is an incentive to not check.

But the state could easily change that. The state could introduce a law where the seller must cover remediation costs if lead is discovered after the sale.

Then sellers would have an incentive to check for lead contamination ahead of the sale.
