It mostly doesn't compare - sitting in the sun for five minutes doesn't expose you to much in the way of ionizing radiation as almost all of it is filtered out by the atmosphere.

Its still really convenient. It is really starting to pick up - I can use my phone to pay fares in a lot of metros now, have real time transit tracking, and use it for navigation even when walking.

Its definitely, imo, to the point where it is becoming a responsibility of societies to provide its citizens access to these technologies because of their utility. That means subsidized / free phones and service, imo. Everyone really should have a baseline of digital access as a fundamental right, hopefully this decade. The COVID relief free cell service in the US I think has been an eye opener for me.

Of course:

The problem is that the data is presented to the observer as something that is within the measurement spectrum. It is not. The graphs show simply noise within the expected spectrum of noise for both the Montana and San Francisco data.

Next there is some statement about increased cancer risk which doesn't really reference anything at all but on first blush seems intended to reference then difference between the montana/SF data.

The data between both of those graphs if within the noise and we have little information on under what circumstances it was taken [and this is in addition to the fact that it is just noise!]

The authors first statement that "it probably means nothing" does nothing to excuse the fact that most viewers will likely view it as as something especially given the comments that follow.

FUD.

I think that the vast majority of doctors that have taken the vaccine to protect themselves are probably smarter than the tiny minority that have refused, yes.
The Cartesian begins with a hidden assumption - let's call it the internalist assumption - that in order for me to know that "here is one hand," there needs to be no possibility that we are in a simulated world (for if it's possible I'm in a simulated world, then I don't really know that here is one hand).

Moore's point is: why is the internalist assumption any better than the assumption that here is one hand?

One of the benefits of this tool is that you can run it across a folder or even an entire disk to check all jars on the disk. So if a Node app does somehow pull in java, by scanning the entire disk this tool should be able to detect if the pulled in java code contains log4j.

I got to install an app and log all sorts of things on it every couple days. You didn’t have to do that.

You received a QR code to allow you to participate in a variety of things. I didn’t, and had to even-more-experimentally mix and match my untested vaccine with an EMA approved one so I could get a Covid safe ticket.

I’m fine by the way.
Google and other tech companies exist now that would like to see copyright contracted.

That's all well and good in zoology, but since both the experiment and experimenter are quantum systems, QM has to explain any and all interactions between the two. Measurement can't be some extraneous thing to what's happening, since it too is happening. I think decoherence gets some points on that mark, I'd be shocked if anyone really thought collapse wasn't the product of some yet undiscovered (or at least unconsidered) aspect of quantum physics.

A Node or Python program could indirectly use a java library but it would be very unusual, and this library should catch it assuming any amount of sanity in how the dependency is installed.

Theoretically, some particularly insane application could download and run a jar purely in memory without it ever touching the disk. That's so close to malware-like behavior that only the most insane legit programs would ever do that.

> The general FIRE modus operandi is to live very financially frugally for a period of time (several years or more) to save as much money as possible to, well, retire early (or at least be comfortable with a less intensive and lower paying job).

This is a subset. The only real mechanism/requirement is saving enough to retire or be financially independent, over whatever timeframe you want. That means typically means 20-30% or higher savings rate on income. One way to increase your savings rate is to have low expenses -- live frugally, as you say. The other way is to have high income.

Does dragging the boxes work like crap on every mobile browser, or just Firefox?
The dose-dependent risk of cancer is in textbooks as an example of linearity. While it is hard to shown for low values of exposure because any measurements/estimates would drown in noise and errors, there is little doubt that the relation shown for higher values is just as valid at the lower end. That also conforms with the stochastic model of how radiation causes cancers and the mutagenic effects of low-dose radiation seen in vitro.
oh and my idea for updating writes to a sqlite file was to send all writes to SQS, batch items with a lambda function that would update the sqlite database on EFS. it’s all theoretically possible, the issue is the user experience. how to show the user they really “liked” a post or something.
I like the reminder that this is out there and mostly available.

I think many of the comments here are missing the point - they're saying it's useful for small-time projects with one or a few users and not needing to be integrated into a sophisticated infrastructure. No need to worry too much about hashing, logouts, the full chain of account management, etc. Use a full-featured solution if you need that, keep Basic Auth for a thing with a few admin pages where anything unusual gets handled over SSH.

This also reminds me - Gemini uses client certs for a similar purpose. Gemini doesn't seem to have much going on, but it does make a good case for using client certs better. Right now, they're technically supported, but the UI for both browsers and server support is really clunky. Build a decent UI on both sides, and it could be a nice simple solution for higher-security authentication.

What is bad faith is to tell people not to look at the contradictory results. If you choose not to look at results that don’t confirm your view, then of course you will think there is a consensus. There's plenty of evidence to suggest medications benefit individuals with ADHD, e.g. lower rates of substance abuse in adulthood, higher rates of academic achievement (as in graduation rates/highest level of degree attained), visible normalization of volume in areas of the prefrontal cortex associated with executive functioning compared to healthy controls.

My primary goal here is to demonstrate publicly that you're an uninformed crank who doesn't know the subject, so that parents don't deny potentially life-changing medication to their kids.

I guess this makes sense - but who is capable of decrypting it weeks later unless the original private key was stolen, in which case it could be decrypted almost in real-time? Maybe if you were concerned a nation-state or something was trying to get your private key, but you've got bigger fish to fry at that point.

>Yes - it does - but I am having a hard time thinking that this actually matters in the real world.

In the 90s and early aughts it was fashionable for php sites to store passwords hashed, usually some combination of a salt with md5 and later the SHA variants.

For a brief few years there were entire communities on IRC and elsewhere dedicated to making rainbow tables for cracking stolen password hashes.

Often the salt would be common across all passwords, so if you got a database dump it was a gold mine for credentials.

> How can you blame 70 year old practice of reservation

I am not blaming it just for sake of it. I am saying that Reservation in India is not the same as Affirmative Action in USA. There is no Quota System in USA. Current Reservation in India is actually reverse discrimination. Even B R Ambedkar wanted Reservation to only last for 10 years and not more because of its obvious discriminatory nature. It is totally against Article 14 of Indian Constitution that guarantees Equality. Instead of Reservation we need something like Affirmative Action that USA has. I am not saying discrimination was not done by upper castes. It was done. The solution to that cannot be reverse discrimination. That is revenge. It is not justice. Instead provide equal opportunity for all and lift those who were suppressed due to discrimination with scholarships, funding, free/affordable housing, free education and healthcare. We need upliftment not another form of discrimination all over again.

> All the Supreme Court Chief Justices have been Brahmins

That's patently false. We have had Sarv Mittra Sikri (an SC) as Supreme Court Chief Justice. Chief Justice S Rajendra Babu was OBC. Chief Justice R. M. Lodha who was OBC. All 3 are non-Brahmin Bahujan Chief Justices.

Apart from that we even have had Judges from minority Religion occupy Chief Justice position too.

Full list of non-Brahmin Chief Justices of India (18 out of 44 or roughly 40% of Chief Justices of India were non-Brahmin):

1. Hon’ble Mr. Justice Harilal Jekisundas Kania

2. Hon’ble Mr. Justice M. Hidayatullah

3. Hon’ble Mr. Justice J.C. Shah

4. Hon’ble Mr. Justice S.M. Sikri

5. Hon’ble Mr. Justice M. Hameedullah Beg

6. Hon’ble Mr. Justice K.N. Singh

7. Hon’ble Mr. Justice A.M. Ahmadi

8. Hon’ble Mr. Justice J.S. Verma

9. Hon’ble Mr. Justice S.P. Bharucha

10. Hon’ble Mr. Justice B.N. Kirpal

11. Hon’ble Mr. Justice S. Rajendra Babu

12. Hon’ble Mr. Justice R.C. Lahoti

13. Hon’ble Mr. Justice Y.K. Sabharwal

14. Hon'ble Mr. Justice S.H. Kapadia

15. Hon'ble Mr. Justice Altamas Kabir

16. Hon'ble Mr. Justice R. M. Lodha

17. Hon'ble Mr. Justice T.S. Thakur

18. Hon'ble Mr. Justice J.S. Khehar

> There are barely 4 Bahujan ministers in the cabinet

We have had plenty of Bahujan ministers holding major portfolios since 1947. Our President is Dalit and our Prime Minister is OBC. Two of the most important positions in our Republic. What more do you need?

Same for SAP. Seems like it's still 'best practice' to do so:

http://www.sapbasis1solution.com/how-to-prepare-sap-system-f...

During this time of one hour “Fall Back” on the clock, as is our Basis team best practice (SAP Note #7417, #102088 and others) we intend to gracefully shut down all Production applications prior to 2:00 AM, at which time the “fall back” happens that will revert back clock time by one hour. We would then wait for clock time to advance past the “new” 2:00 AM Local time. And start from 2:05 AM EST will bring up applications.
They shut down services with more rapid end dates than AWS. Also they leave many useful services in beta forever and then use that to justify shutting them down.
It seems to suggest that non-depressed people are more active from 3-6am, which is strange because the vast majority of people are not active during these times.
Nope, still going to kill a bunch of people and that will curb any real growth. Here's what will happen: April/may cases will be much lower, end of may people will party into June. June/July there will be a uptick until august just before school starts. September cases will climb, get slightly lower in October, then spike the second week of November and then continue until April/may. This is an infectious disease functioning in/on a human system and we well know how this works out. Everything I described above is the schedule for the Spanish flu, and coincidentally, covid. Because that is how humans work and do things. We have not progressed enough in the last 100 years to change this due to the luddite/zealot problems we have.

> Most of the really innovative interactive design stuff found its first expressions in the Windows-based versions of Visual Basic, and here’s where I started becoming nervous about where Windows programming was headed. Not only could you move a button onto your form, and interactively position and size it just the way you wanted, but if you clicked on the button, Visual Basic would generate an event handler for you and let you type in the code.

At this point in the essay, we find ourselves arm-pit deep in get-off-my-lawn. He goes on to make the argument that a disjoint pile of event handlers attached to UI elements do not make a coherent program.

Even while conceding that this claim is 100% true, there most definitely exist cases where all you need is a hand-drawn UI with disjoint event handlers to breathe a little bit of life into the experience. Frankly, most simple web pages find themselves DELIGHTFULLY in this category.

It annoys me that you really have to dig into Many Worlds for a while before someone says outright what you're saying here. I guess it's because to someone already familiar with QM, decoherence is more about explaining why the newly different portions of the wavefunction don't interact than that there's a superposition at all, but to the layman the takeaway should really be exactly what you wrote.
I got a similar result! I put in my age (59) and my liquid savings amount and got the answer:

I'm not sure, given inflation and the taxes that I'm going to want to retire while I can still earn an income.
> Interesting idea - but like some other posts here I'm wondering how exactly writes and concurrency would work

For writes, SQLite's single threaded restriction still applies. But for most use cases, scaling reads is by far the most important thing.

> Why not just use a traditional DB like MySQL or Postgres on the backend and a WASM SQL client on the frontend?

The point is that you don't need a backend at all for reads, only for writes. All reads can be served by a static file host or cloud object store.
I'd like to build some kind of shared resource where people publish completed generic projects. I find myself and others constantly reinventing the wheel, and it seems absolutely nuts; how are we ever going to progress if we keep wasting our time re-making what has already been made?

Say there's some web framework, and lots of people write online shopping carts in it. Well, after the 1000th online shopping cart has been written in this web framework, you'd think there'd just be one standard implementation of a shopping cart published to the framework's website. But often, for all kinds of such common projects, there is no standard implementation. And then you have your shopping cart, but there's all these other components you need to hook up to it. It would be great to have an example of hooking up each of those components. And over time it would become like the "Uber-Shopping-Cart" that can do it all.

This could work for more than code, too: configuration, walkthroughs on integrating components, architectural plans, CI & CD. There's got to be some way to create a shared library of reusable, ready-to-modify, free technology solutions. So that whether you're a hobbyist or an employee in a FAANG, you can just grab an off-the-shelf solution, put in a tiny bit of logic specific to your needs, and go on to your next task. Not only would it save each person countless hours for every one of these, but they could be bug-fixed, supported across multiple versions of their dependencies, have features added by a wide community.

The problem is I really don't have a great idea what it should look like, or how to get people engaged. The scope is enormous; I could add my own project samples, but I don't actually write a whole lot of code, I mostly do Cloud Systems Engineering. So I would love to pair up with others who are interested in having such a library so we can figure out what it should look like and start contributing to it.

With current experience from UK and France, this line (even though true up to a point) is irrelevant.
At this point, it's not a question of whether or not they need to buy off politicians of either party, who will pass pretty much anything asked for. It's a question about the Supreme Court, which has so far upheld the extensions but has showed signs of being increasingly crabby about them. But so far it's all words.
Dates can be very meaningfully and sensibly converted to/from a numeric representation, yet the addition of two dates doesn't make sense, so I don't think not bring able to add versions holds.

And not everything can be mapped 1-1 with the integers; reals for example, and therefore arbitrary strings. (Of course, that's only theoretically; with a limited string length you can obviously manage)

You're right that the ordering is the key feature of a version representation; munging it into an integer gives you that for free but risks getting to overflow quite easily (as in this case). I guess the conclusion is, use a language like Rust or Ruby when you can define ordering easily on structured data.
That would let us eradicate it entirely. It's worth trying. But we can still get mostly back to normal without that.

If we get enough immunity that the worst COVID causes is a small bump in hospitalization and deaths once or twice a year then we could live with that and just wear masks during those weeks perhaps. We are much, much closer to that goal today than we were a year ago.
That is not always the case. Only certain types of viruses such as herpes viruses remain dormant in the patient's body. Most respiratory viruses are completely cleared out within a few weeks, assuming the patient survives and has a functioning immune system.
