"CNC" is even bolded. And that's probably one of the more lucrative topics for ads...that is things like CNC routers. I have no idea what the naughty version of CNC is.

Is staffing a public toilet right for anyone? Hauling trash? Overseeing a car-making robot? Bending over in a field all day picking green vegetables?

There are many things that we all need done for our society to function. At this point in time, it is still necessary for most people to spend large amounts of their lives doing these things rather than what is right for them as unique individuals.

During the almost eight years I lived in Brussels, Belgium, I was employed for a year as a consultant by Snow BV (a Dutch consulting company), and for six months I was working on-site at Eindhoven for ASML.

They told me it was actually an advantage that I didn’t speak Dutch, because this would encourage all of them to speak English around me. A few weeks later I was asked by the same manager to stop attending the standup meetings, because it was too hard for too many people to speak English instead of Dutch.

That’s only one of my Snow and ASML stories.

The main system should be the active directory instance (or equivalent) in your office. Something you trust and that nobody will ever take away frkm you.

Then most systems can be set up to federate with external systems. Aws for example can allow identity federation via saml iirc, azure probably has something active-directory-native.

Dunno for gsuite or other systems... but there probably is.
>Every single time we have to go back and forth with the guy at the counter for 10 minutes, before he realizes that we won't buy the insurance, that our insurance is valid, and that we're going to get off with a super-cheap car rental on that day. Shurgs, gives us the keys, next customer por favor.

Irish car rental agencies have found the way around this, which is that, if you have valid insurance other than theirs, they'll happily rent to you, so long as you're content to have a significant portion of the car's entire value charged (not preauthorized, as much as they say that's what they're doing) to your credit card and refunded upon return.
In the field this causes more issues that in solves.

For example, overzealous secops admins block "port 80 outbound", because everyone knows that HTTP is "insecure" and HTTPS is "secure". Except that the SSL certificate on that HTTPS website needs OCSP on port 80 to be fully secured. If you block it, you get random 30 second timeouts and less security.

In general, totally blocking the Internet and then punching holes is like playing whack-a-mole. At first, you'll block Windows Update because you should be "managing that" through something like WSUS or SCCM, right, right? No, the SCCM guys never did figure out how to manage the DMZ servers, so the most Internet exposed servers are not getting patched now. Congratulations!

So you'll open up Windows Update. Except that you didn't, because you forgot that it also includes half a dozen vaguely related, infrequently used and undocumented additional URLs. Which are all CDNs. So they're a CNAME to a CNAME to a pool of A records approximately half the size of all of Azure.

And there's the Linux machines. The BSD-based network appliances and their various call-home support features. And on, and on, and on.

How exactly are you going to configure this in your "NAT"? You discover that you can't. You're going to have to use a HTTP web proxy.

Congratulations, you've now blocked IPv6, HTTP/3, nerfed web performance for everyone everywhere, and introduced a terrifying single-point-of-failure that will even break basic authentication (Azure AD, Okta, SAML, etc...).

You can lock out an entire network completely by accidentally powering off the web proxies, to the point that noone can log back on to turn them on.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. I could rant for hours about how NAT and forced outbound proxies break more things than they solve. Famously, TLS v1.3 uses v1.2 in the protocol header because the morons that write web proxies don't understand how protocol versions work.

Oh, okay, one more: Windows 11 and 2022 introduced new TCP optimisations (HyStart++) that improve performance on high bandwidth delay product links like modern cloud and 5G networks. Except that web proxies don't generally keep up with optimisations like this, so you gain nothing even if you upgrade the desktops and server to modern operating systems. (Same thing applies to Linux too)

bob, what's your favorite resource(s) on learning to sharpen – both technique and theory (geometry, etc.)? I tried to get into the Cliff Stamp stuff, but it was really hard because everything was spread out across a zillion forum posts and YouTube videos.
The main problem on the road in town is parked cars obstructing it. They closed the parking spaces for covid so people could walk along it without being squished and things were far far better.

Sadly they have reintroduced the ability to litter the road with your car and it’s gone back to being rubbish. I don’t go to that part of town any more.
Honestly, I don't think that changes the answer much. If your design were the subject of a peer-reviewed paper in respected journals, that would be much more likely to get it attention in the scientific community than what you've done thus far.

That's the kind of step that starts to make it possible for other people—beyond those you can easily personally contact—to go over your design, understand the theory behind it, and either believe it will work (and thus possibly help move it toward prototype stage), or believe it will not (and likely tell you why, with sources).

I don't claim to know much about nuclear fusion, or the people who work on it, but my impression is that they tend more toward the academic side of things than the industrial. If that's the case, peer-reviewed scientific papers laying out what you've got and why you think it'll work are, IMO, much more likely to get their interest than a random person reaching out to them with a design (even if that design does seem sound) or a patent.

Either way, best of luck. I certainly agree that if you do have a viable alternative design, getting it out there is one of the more important endeavors of the day.

> EDIT: Also worth mentioning the capital city of Alaska had zero recorded snowfall for an entire winter for the first time in recorded history. Yes, it's very real.

I have a guy who looks for OPENSTEP references and sends me a link on WhatsApp to those. Then I swoop in and feast.
AFAICT that is, to a large degree, what the author did. Much of the initial "exploration" seems to have been done in Thermo-Calc, with physical experiments following. IMO the novelty in process is more exciting than the novelty of the result.
I like how it prevents unnecessary repetition. “An object with foo stored in key foo” { foo: foo } vs “an object containing foo” { foo }
Most of the big rental companies (Avis, Budget, Hertz, Enterprise, etc) let you do speedy checkin/out if you pre-populate some information like DL and CC# on their websites. If the "semi-frequent traveler" mentioned in the article hasn't signed up to skip the counter, he's probably not as seasoned as the article wants you to think.

For example when I rent with Avis, the app tells me what parking spot my car is in. I just get in, show my driver's license to the attendant on the way out (some make you show your DL before you get your key, but usually this is a chance to get a free upgrade), and off I go. At some locations you can just grab any car you want from the lot and drive off.

When I return the car, they're usually done printing my receipt before I've gotten my luggage out of the trunk.

Could you please explain how this mapping works? Why it needs so much RAM? Is it doing a fuzzy search of sorts for known sequences (genes)? Why can't it do so one by one?
Just a personal anecdote from dealings with rental companies, but that doesn't seem to be the only reason for this.

They're also seemingly cost-optimizing by advertising car A, and then hoping to give you an "or similar" car B at less cost to themselves. Sometimes in a way that blatantly doesn't match their own advertising material.

E.g. I've rented something like a VW Passat or other mid-sized-wagon, only to have the car rental try to pass off compact the size of a VW Golf as "similar".

They'll then budge when you point out that the suitcases you've got won't fit in the Golf, and that their own website shows that the VW Passat could fit X amount of large suitcases, but won't fit in the "similar" car.

Then it'll turn out that they do actually have a car that a reasonable person would classify as "similar" to the car you booked right there on the lot. They might even have the exact model you booked to begin with!

I've also experienced "softer" versions of this where the 5-10 advertised cars in a given "similar" category clearly have 1-2 models that stand out as noticeably cheaper. Guess which models I got every time I rented there?

Not something you can/should complain about, since the models all similar to a VW Golf, but cases where it clearly wasn't about inventory management. Instead it's systematic "down-selling" via deceptive advertisement that conveniently omits the proportion of the fleet represented by each "similar" model.
Don’t forget “do you have a Software?” Instead of “software program” or just plain “program”.

Or do you “do the Necessary”?
Let's not conflate network access to get the thing from LDAP and network access for the thing itself. In fact, it's exactly programming with capabilities that would keep this stuff separate, as no one would design the JNDI interface to wantonly pass all the same capabilities to the class.

There are a few that seem to be getting off the ground. Kyte is Uber for rentals and Turo is Airbnb for rentals. I've looked into both recently for family travel that makes a car that seats six for 4/5 days more expensive than the flights.

Proxy wars are a wrinkle in this logic whereby strong belligerents pick their battles so that they have plausible deniability; deniable wins and losses, deniable assets and capital, deniable aims and goals. Deceit and détente have a fractious relationship, but often serve complementary purposes - managing perception of reality and control of time and space via control of individuals and groups.

The personal is political. Weak sides challenge stronger opponents all the time, just usually not militarily. By situating yourself in opposition to power structures, you may reframe the debate and win it on its merits in the minds of the public, thus causing friction when status quo attempts to reassert itself.

Because the assumption is as most often is the situation the US won't ask it will just do as it pleases. It may be due to pressure from states, citizens, lack of water seen as a destabilizing threat, no time to debate or negotiate or the US would be impatient, or just arrogance.

Because once water is sold as a commodity it can't be stopped. That's why trade agreements go out of their way to not even dare mention or very precisely say how sales of water isn't on the table.

Lots of countries sell us food and we sells lots too. Take tomatoes for example Canada produces a crazy amount of them. Same for wheat millions of tons exported.

Exactly, you’re incentivized to make your website as static as possible, and I attach standard http cache headers to most of the server rendered stuff so that their responses get cached in Vercel’s CDN, and once again not invoked super often.
Spyderco takes pride in their knives looking ugly. They're totally form over function. Comparing the handles, I'm pretty sure the Spyderco would feel many times better in my hand. Also, they have amazing fit and finish, and come razor sharp from the factory.

> Why not make the software into a proprietary product? ...

The point is you can't implement Pattern, because it's a nightly feature. If you just make your own, that isn't Pattern and provides none of the benefits.

Yes, you can implement your own trait, and provide blanket implementations for it, but unlike Pattern yours is not part of the standard.

The nice thing about Pattern is that if Rust added say split_exactly_six_times() to the standard library that would take separator: Pattern too and so things which implement Pattern qualify, I can't see a way to get that benefit for my own traits.

"They don't have your best interests in mind" is also relative. Keep in mind the diversity of clients who have or receive money to buy ads, from advocacy groups to attorneys involved in ecological litigation to your local bookstore to a new credit union in your area to a fast food chain to a complete out and out scammer running worthless seminars.

Part of the deal is that they still get to work from incentives on their end. But this alone doesn't rule out your interests or even your best interests.

The subjective beauty of this is that depending on who you are, even the seminar scammer might be both obvious AND the best news you've heard all week, because you have been waiting for a specific opportunity.

BTW I really recommend watching Harrison Ford in The Mosquito Coast. There's a bit of a diamond of truth buried in the story, kind of an anti-anti-ad message that is really important to consider.
It’s just pointless, because people find a way. If you ban e.g. “sh#t” aggressively, the auditory will eventually invent series of local euphemisms and one morning you find yourself banning “skittles” and “slip” somehow. Sad thing is, these guys never learn the history of internet forums and put the same snakeoil compresses again and again.

It gets totally out of control very fast

There is a way to censor internet correctly in a controlled way, it is human-oriented moderation. HN is a good example of it (in a good sense). We have near zero “bad” content or discussion here, but you’d never encounter the famous “sorry, your post contains a word from our stop-list”. Because words aren’t a cause, they are an effect. Appeal directly to the cause: human personal sense of the appreciated culture and the reasons to have it. Those who get it will try to moderate themselves out of respect, those who do not will find themselves in a vacuum or quickly flagged. When site owners believe in automated moderation by a whip, they are doomed and rightly so.
I wrote a handbook a little over a year ago about creating startups [0]. One of the most important points is ensuring that your product addresses a market gap. Demand cannot be created, it can only be awakened. In brief, one must: identify a market gap, contemplate a solution from the user's context and needs, create a prototype that demonstrates the core of the product (Minimum Viable Product), and do sales or pre-sales of that to complete the validation.

N-Acetylcysteine to Combat Covid-19: An Evidence Review
Great explanation! I wish I could influence the student intake but as a faculty I find it difficult to negotiate with the administrators whose objective function is to maximize the program enrollment! So I have accepted the status quo. Nonetheless I show them how I would solve a specific problem without going to Google at all.
I don’t think it’ll take decades to understand the many many obvious effects. Saying it’ll take decades to work out the effects feels like an attempt to obsfucate or deflect.

Although I’d agree if you are referring to secondary effects — they will take a little longer to manifest. But we are certainly seeing some of those already.

This highlights the stumbling block that programmers have when trying to understand debits and credits. You should not at all be trying to classify your accounts as Liab/Eq/Inc, its simply an account with a debit or credit balance.

Its why i dislike the accounting equation. Its leads people to really overvalue how important account types are.

On the database level you dont care at all about it. The accounts are simply another text column and the bare minimum has no further information.

Only when trying to present the accounts in a P&L or something do you try to ascertain what the type is. Even then the only essential information is whether the account is debit or credit positive, and maybe whether it is a P&L or balance sheet account.

Its at this point here that you could optionally classify the account as Liab/Eq/Inc to give you some nice headers for the financial reports but to be honest you could just throw that back on the user and let them classify their own headers. Accountants are normally better at knowing what their financials should look like and forcing them to comply with your account types is probably a limiting and frustrating anti feature.
