Yes, the presence of a blocker like that is a good thing. What ifs aren't the most useful thing though.

GPs have been enormously helpful to me with this stuff. Most are very understanding. If you can do an online appointment booking that might help too - so the immediacy isn't an issue so you can write the appointment reason very clearly and revise it as much as you want before hitting the button. Otherwise, tell the receptionist you'd like a phone appointment (for the distance that gives psychologically) and that it is for a mental health issue. The diagnostic criteria for depression are fairly easy to satisfy - it is mostly about low mood for 4+ weeks. Keep details to a minimum you need to get a prescription but be cooperative if they probe.

Whatever you do though, don't just suffer. Tell your spouse how you feel too. Get some help.

Far worse than your phone (thanks to NTP), but fancy watches are primarily jewelry, so conspicuous consumption is their entire raison d'etre.

Yes. You can do a quick and dirty estimate working backwards from the article's own figure of 2.6 million COVID hospitalizations in the US. If you very generously assume 1/3 of Americans have been infected, you get a hospitalization rate of 2.3%. If you assume the vaccines prevent hospitalizations, then the risk to the unvaccinated must be higher.
Lovely for your friends but what about all the artists having their work stolen?
Result of PRC ramping up grain imports to rebuild pig heard lost to ASF. Also some of it is Phase One obligations to US. Article argues Chinas has "heavier" responsibility resolving maldistribution of food vs west. I mean sure, would be nice if people got grains before animals, but ensuring adequate pork supply to Chinese nationals is significant to PRC interests. Or west bread baskets can just grow more.

Reality is, PRC is nominally food secure, can produce enough staples by calorie to feed 1.4B domestically. But sustaining appetite for meat requires imports, and until better feed tech, better someone else waste their water and drain their soil to feed PRC hogs. Obviously solution is to embrace artificial meats, but current offerings are far from acceptable substitutes for Asian countries each part of animal is used in local cuisine.

As for fear mongering that it's hoarding for war - more useful to monitor strategic oil reserve, silo buildups and rocket force developments.
Well, uBlock Origin and uMatrix worked pretty well for that, but with new Manifest v3 the feature will be lost

Did you not read TFA? The outcome is not positive for any party. Bigger cars consume more gas, kill more people, etc, and people buy them because they can. That’s a failure of market forces to do the right thing.
It also has music. I'm not sure how much, but that could account for a couple hundred megabytes if it's many tracks at a fairly high bit rate.
Yeah, relying on that when you use foreign keyboards makes life difficult. I take an in-between approach and redefine just a couple of keys such that I can get away with just few lines of config.
Plenty of the COVID skeptic types I know, and myself included, have expressed exactly the sentiment the GP described. In a way, it's nice to be vindicated after all this. I don't think it really makes a difference whether that sentiment fits into the exact Wikipedia definition you're arguing about, but it's obvious to me it's been a common one for the entirety of the pandemic.
Yes, exactly this too. The shorter flange distance of mirrorless makes adapters pretty trivial. All the more reason to use a new mount.
Okay, sounds like some people trying this at home have had seriously bad side effects. So will definitely have to do some reading before giving this a shot.

The LEGO market has extremely low liquidity. I've been trying to get rid of my substantial collection and finding trouble getting offers for even the most desirable sets. There are also lots of scammers and weirdos that make everything more difficult than it should be.
SciAm has been going down hill. I was about to restart my subscription years ago and decided to look through some free issue or some such. There was another “woke” opinion column or article.
Not OP, but in my opinion:

When I am reading through the source code of somebodies personal project, it's absolutely amazing to:

- see how to do X in discernible, concise, modern JavaScript

- follow along significant architectural decisions

- watch a web API in action, not a specialized abstraction that will necessarily hide some capabilities

That being said: This project doesn't offer much in that regard. It's hard to read and makes little use of modern JavaScript.
If these violations were happening stateside, I bet we’d hear a lot more about it in the news and Twitter. I’m sure all the people on Twitter who dump on Amazon would be dumping in them… but likewise the Twitterverse only cares about what will get them internet brownie points.
Why buy a NFT and not just send them money via Paypal, Patreon or similar?
Similar to Energy Vault and other potential energy storage schemes. Conceptually it's sound, but the implementation is weak with respect to real-world constraints.
As a reader of the magazine for the past 35 years or so, Scientific American, the print publication, has devolved into what Popular Science was about 20 years ago. Sensationalist headlines, writing geared towards a much lower reading comprehension level and the introduction of politics and opinion in various articles.

A sad state of affairs for a once great publication, unfortunately.

However, the mantle has been taken up by online publications such as Quanta, Aeon, Edge and Nautilus, as well as various science authors on Medium and Substack.
NFTs are something "tech dudes" created, not something artists were actually asking for. This is reflected in the amount of utility NFTs as a concept generally bring to artists: negative, because of the constant stress of having to file takedowns on fraudulent NFTs. It's unbelievable how much time artists nowadays are forced to devote to combatting NFT fraud.
> NFTs are dumb, a grift, etc etc.. but they themselves use no energy beyond that required to create, sign and broadcast the transaction.

NFTs as a system don't work without a blockchain though, no one would be interested in an NFT space that didn't have minting or trading. I think people are using "NFT" as a shorthand to talk about those transactions you bring up.

It's kind of like saying, "gaming doesn't use a lot of energy, doing math on GPU does." I mean, technically right, but gaming is the reason people are doing math on the GPU. NFTs/cryptocurrency are the reason people are doing transactions on a proof-of-work Ethereum chain.
who is “you”? it’s a public key. good luck suing a public key.

nfts are still largely a grift

And the core website that the developers actually see while working on it might be just as fast as you imagine!

The developers are not in charge, usually, of what rules will be loaded into a tag manager by the marketing team (which might involve different sets based on URL or various other tracking data). The tag managers themselves and base ad auction and spyware stuff might be pretty performant, too - it's when you hit all those third party ads etc. that you might also see some shitty code.

But when many of those "features" are written assuming all the extra budget for themselves, well, things go bad fast.
I think you're using two different definitions of "racist" in the 1st vs. 2nd paragraph, but I'm not sure. Mind clarifying?

But… money is one kind of power, so I don’t think it’s “better”.

Given what happened in living memory to a previous government in (East) Germany that abused surveillance power, I both accept the concern, and yet also don’t expect it to actually apply here, at least not until about 2040 when the last people who remember experiencing the receiving end of it retire.

> Covid spreads far more easily indoors. Breakthrough cases are becoming more common. Group immunity through boosters (or exposure) is more effective at preventing the spread of covid and reduces the chance that any one individual will catch COVID (and continue to spread it).

I'm not aware of any data saying that group immunity through boosters has significantly stronger effect than boosting itself or than group immunity through the original vaccination. Care to share that? My priors are that group immunity among boosted individuals would be very mildly better, but I'm not aware that that study has been done.

When we evaluate policy decisions, we should base those decisions on quantifiable tradeoffs, not simply on whether there is benefit to a policy. At some point, the diminishing returns of marginally increased safety are not worth the societal costs. To me, given the current data, it seems we're at that point for vaccination.

As to the other comment thread, I'm happy to address any questions you have there, in order not to repeat the discussion here.
>The fact that the treatment varies state by state shows that people do consider this to be a right worth retaining

Yes, we live in an age of mass-indoctrination. If Fox News runs Anti-Food Safety segments 24/7 for months, we're probably going to have a few states that remove punishment/fines/laws for people who prepare food with shit on their hands. That doesn't mean that serving food with shit in it is an inalienable right.
That is my point. NFTs are just luxury items for conspicuous consumption. They exist so people can brag and show off. That is their value to the world. The new luxury brands for the nouveau riche.

As a person that very much dislikes conspicuous consumption, I feel it has no value to me. Ill be stackin' sats.
I was making copies of digital art long before NFTs were a thing
Our stack is exclusively Python, which has been working out beautifully, and we use off the shelf robots from Kuka and Universal Robots. In my opinion, the vendor kinematics for these robots is pretty good, and we get nice control over our motion.
> But how does an updated OS help if the packages themselves are not updated?

Package maintainers apply patches and roll a new package version (e.g., +deb11u1).

At some point the package maintainers themselves may not want to babysit things anymore and deprecate the package. But most packaging systems that I'm aware of have mechanisms for applying patches.

In many cases even if the software itself is still maintained, the package maintainers may only apply a specific patch to ensure maximum compatibility.

It's why many of us prefer 'slow moving' distros with "old" packages: minimal change for a given version and then only when 'necessary'.
I have not heard of it before until I searched for symptoms (slurred speech, numb tongue) that my friend mentioned. Best to be aware and talk to one's doctor instead of dismissing it.

In smaller democracies the government tend to serve the people. In that case the purpose of the spying is to serve the people and not a government power grab, that is how democracies are intended to work.

Also large enough corporations tend to do things for power reasons rather than money, as once you are a billionaire your money is mostly just a means to exert power so trading money for power is what you do. And at that size they start to intermingle with governments, making the acts of the company hard to separate from acts of the government.
Well, I suspect the SGI legacy is now in better hands than when it was controlled by Rackable with branding filed off. The only good parts they sold us were the Ultraviolets, and those were probably the most nonsensical purchase (protip: do not buy supercomputer modules just to run 8 VMs on it, it's waste of money even if the hw is awesome)
Those all broke, that's how you know about them
> Digital art. That can be replicated. In which ownership of the NFT may/may not convey ownership of the artwork. Of course this sounds absolutely nuts

So. Digital art can be replicated, and they may or may not convey ownership. And then you immediately turn around, replace "digital art" with "digital cards" and "perks" and pretend that this is now somehow different just because you're using NFTs for literally the same thing, but called a different name.

> That doesn't mean valid use cases won't emerge.

It means exactly that: valid use cases will not emerge because of what NFTs are.
Can someone comment on streetlife during dutch winters? 20m bike ride for everyday errands during summer is tolerable. But 40m walk during winter and I'm biasing towards private vehicle. I suppose if transit is reliable, which covid squeeze on my transit agency has made public transit last few weeks more miserable than it should be.
Yeah, it seems like such a terrible constraint. Maybe okay for loading in a factory where:

* in a factory the boxes can be changed to suit the robot (limited by how automated the box loading and top sealing is). If the boxes need changing then it makes selling the robot far more difficult.

* in a factory the contents are of a predictable weight, and the boxes are predictable sizes

* in a factory the loads are not mixed

* the factory doesn’t palletise their boxes

Is there a marketplace where you can bet against the success of an individual product? Although given than most products fail, then either (a) the odds are poor e.g. win 10% more than your stake, or (b) you pay out huge amounts if the product succeeds (similar to how you can lose a lot of money shorting a stock).

They talk about a fence around the robot, which is only viable if the robot needs help very rarely. If the robot needs help a lot (boxes over 23kg, boxes of unsupported sizes like TVs) safety issues would quickly arise, and liability kills the product.
As others have said rack servers are really loud. Instead look for a tower server, they are much quieter as they are often used in office environments. Something like a Dell PowerEdge T series. You'll pay more as they are rarer but you'll be happier.

Another option is to build some. Last summer I built a couple of servers for my home lab. I went with a 12 Core Ryzen and 64GB of DDR4 RAM. I spent around a Grand each of them. ASRock Rack makes an AM4 motherboard that has IPMI. So they have remote IP-KVM and power control. It is similar to the Dell iDRAC or HP iLO.
Stanford is a private school. Do they not have the right to self determination and to choose how to build their own community? If they want people whos response to a booster are either "yes please" or "no skin off my back, I have better things to worry about" or "I personally dont agree with this but not a hill worth falling on" then I think that is their prerogative and within their power.

None of those financial models are innovative

Yup. The regular cultist words. "Just google it"
> What is fundamentally wrong with the current system, I honestly want to know?

It effectively locks away cultural heritage for more than a hundred years with no tangible benefit to the society.

Disney became Disney because it used works in public domains (Brothers Grimm tales) and expired copyrights (Alice in Wonderland). Current copyright laws effectively blocks anyone from using 20th century works (and some late 19th century works) for ... well, anything, really.

Additionally, great swaths of culture are simply lost because of:

- the fear of potential copyright violations. This affects a great number of orphan works

- copyright holders doing nothing with their properties and others not being able to do anything with them. Can't find it now, but at one point Amazon carried more new books with works from the 19th century, than books with works from the 20th just because of that

But even that isn't the main problem. Copyright was intended to protect the author and incentivize them to create other works. I'm eagerly awaiting Tolkien's new works in 2047 (the copyright on The Fellowship of the Ring expires in 2050).
Yes, I wondered that from the first demonstration months ago. I've got no doubt that sufficient suction can be generated for the needed lifting forces, but indeed, will the packaging tolerate it?

While my shop doesn't do a huge amount of shipping and is not a big shipper, and most boxes can tolerate it, I can definitely think of both outgoing and incoming boxes I wouldn't want to see picked up by the top... .
Much as the NYPD might have a reputation for being trigger happy, it's probably a good thing they don't arbitrarily open fire with the pintle mounted M2 or M249 on the front of those gunboats.
This gives me the same feeling as those ML-powered “enhanced zoom” features: where does the photograph end and the machine made-up fantasy start?
Yeah I think something like this is the way to go. The table name needs to be listed in a consistent manner like all other joins, and I don't think the syntax should be different depending on which order the tables are listed in.

With the above proposal, it seems the foreign key name could be left out in the common case of there being only one fkey between the two tables too.
Can't you flip up your rearview mirror, instead? And get behind the trucks?
Transactions don't consume energy. If everyone suddenly stopped making transactions, miners would still be there, running their machines to mine empty blocks.

So thinking in terms of "energy per transaction" is wrong, you should look at total consumed energy by mining industry as a whole and compare it to other industries energy usage also as a whole.

They say they aren't planning to replace humans, instead of one human unloading one truck, it will be one human supervising robots unloading 4 trucks. Sure seems like a replacement to me.

Coming from the graph database / semantic web area, I would propose foreign key/ primary key relationships in the DB to be detailed and named in a schema description, and then queries reference those relationships by name to define the needed joins.

The most troubling quote in my reading is

>Second, the application of the scientific method matters: what works

>for ants and other nonhuman species is not always relevant for health

>and/or human outcomes.

That's the flip-side of the religious person's belief that we can't study human beings as animals because we are special. So we can't look at human sexuality, for example, except in the context of special rules. When we give into this notion of exceptionalism, we will continue to be mystified when the human don't just obey the special rules.
The comparison changes when you look at them in aggregate, so if we want to see how they stack up in terms of energy consumption, it would probably be useful to see how many gamers it would roughly take to use the same amount of energy as the person running a full scale crypto mining operation.

After that there is the subjective analysis about what we get out of those in terms of value since, externalities aside, you can't compare gaming as an activity vs. the activities that require crypto. I'm sure there are plenty out there who would claim that video games are a net loss to society the same way many folks think that about crypto.

Personally I think this is just the next in what will be a long line of trends as wealth consolidates upwards and the people attaining it keep looking for new and novel ways to spend or invest.
> In this case, it's at least a few dozen so I think it's fair to assume that such a lie would not survive very long.

This is a very unlikely expectation. Employees are under NDA so nobody will talk publically about it unless one of them feel so strongly about it to sacrifice their career (they'd certainly get fired, and being sued for breaching the NDA isn't going to make finding a new job easier).

Employees at all companies keep quiet about bugs like these all the time, that's the most common outcome.
I suppose this depends on whatever license the buyer and original IP owner agreed to during the original sale. Assuming the purchase included a license to distribute the NFT (share the image, resell the NFT, etc), you'd likely have to continue honoring that after purchasing the IP.

Not sure what type of licensing NFT sites like OpenSea/etc. use.

If you go outside of the urban areas in those states, you'll quickly enter many deep red areas. Take a look at where the largest outbreaks are occurring in those states, they're often the suburban and rural areas that are 45+ minutes away from urban centers.
