The chlorine taste or smell is something that is very subjective and can change for other reasons as well.

I.e. if you are a tourist that is not used to chlorinated water at all, even mildly chlorinated water can smell distinctly. And disgusting.

Get used to it and it's like many things you get used to: you don't notice or mind it much any longer. But even then you might go take a shower and out comes a huge chlorine stink that subsides after a bit.

For all you care water with chlorine smell would probably be the safest (from a microbial perspective - same caveats as you are mentioning about general guideline vs specific edge cases)

Interestingly hunterston - a nuclear power station on the west coast of Scotland - had a failure of its backup diesel generators. Wikipedia describes it as:

> In December 1998, an INES Level 2 incident occurred after severe winds and sea spray disabled all four power lines to the site during the Boxing Day Storm of 1998. After multiple grid failures in a short period of time, emergency diesel generators failed to start. Normally, in the absence of power for the reactor cooling pumps, the reactor would be passively cooled. However, the emergency control system which would have initiated passive cooling failed to act, as it had not been reset. Reactor cooling was reinstated after four hours.

It seems the safety margin was twenty hours of no reactor cooling.

Maybe, but it also is an unprecedented privacy invasion at mass scale. Medical data used to be protected private information. At least in my country. Now everyone and their grandmother is entitled to be informed about personal medical details. It leaves a bitter taste.
I’m no proponent of vaccine mandates or even overly broad vaccine “passports”. Not because it isn’t effective but because it’s eroding trust in authorities.

That said, international travel is one of the places that should be strict, and high profile international competition could and should make an example. Taking part isn’t a right. Organizers have an opportunity to set an example here.

The common thread appears to be that they are sent from gmail addresses. It could be that they are using a tool like Gmass (https://www.gmass.co/) that lets you send bulk email from Gmail by batching them in groups of 500 per day. Mail originating from Gmail must have a lower spam flag rate.
Is it specifically planned obsolescence, or just case of technology evolving? Do you think Apple or Google, when making the decisions on browser upgrade-ability, anticipated javascript changes that would break common sites and force users to buy new hardware?

To me this does not feel like planned obsolescence and feels more like a general case of "technology marches on".
That's because one of the key beliefs of the ruling tribe in the US is that tribalism is bad, ironically.

While I’d like ten, eight is probably good enough for me. I just bought a new Chromebook for $92 all-in (low-end, obviously). At around $1/mo for the length of OS support, that seems fair enough to me. Even $4-5/mo for a nice one would be OK for most people.
Thanks for the info! That ability to retune sounds excellent. I wonder if you could spin this out to have an EWS for influenzas too (although hopefully it’ll never get as severe!)

I guess for the glycosylation when you say it’s implicitly handled, there’s a N-linked sequon pattern somewhere in the language model, which I guess covers a good deal of info :)

Jury still out on effects of O-linked glyco on spike, but give me a shout if you’re interested in it!

Anyway, cool work, and all the best in where you’re taking the work next!
I think that the point I'm trying to make is a bit different. If you do make a movie that's not a documentary and follows the traditional recipe of good vs evil, then there must be some evil that has to be portrayed. You make movies about "Mafia", then it might be the Italians, you make movies about "Cartels", might be Mexicans, make movies about "Jihadists", Afghans and so on.

At some point, a realization and acceptance that yeah, something along the lines of what's being shown happened but it's probably a bit spiced up cause it's a movie is needed. Either that or my original point i.e. make movies about Aliens exclusively. (Until their existence is proven anyways).
Because it’s possible to justify the risk with saving lives.

This reminds me of a story from 2013. We were developing a web app and kept hearing about a friend of our boss who was having trouble with it in Australia. We assumed it was ping to our small server in Europe. Turns out he was using a very old version of Firefox, but that was the latest one available on his MacBook. Yes, his PowerPC MacBook.
I'm all for not bending over backwards to support a 10-year-old browser, but 2 years is a really tight support window.

It's also an argument for unlocked bootloaders.

For example, the Nexus 5 phone released about 8 years ago is still selling for over $100 on eBay because it's easy to install hacking software on it that was featured in Mr. Robot.

If you have an iPhone that old that no longer receives iOS updates, there's no way to get security updates on it or install some other OS.
Yes it does exactly this. It uses reaction wheels (circular counterweights) for rotation generally, but when they can no longer spin faster it will have to use propellant to adjust its angular momentum back to zero.

In addition, it uses propellant for orbit position keeping (station keeping) as you wrote.
Because boostered individuals have a drastically reduced infection risk by 80%.

On top of they are 66% less infectious when being infected since they clear the virus twice as fast and 40% of their virus particles are dead.

This gives them an overall reduced risk of infecting someone else by 93%.

I don't understand why you consider the iPad to not be a general-purpose computer. Do you mean an iPad without a web browser? Is iOS really good at keeping ancient apps working on ancient devices?
Depends on where you got tested in the US. States like NY, NJ, CA and others have mandatory reporting requirements, so test results get returned to the county or state DOH and are verifiable.

The problem is at the state level, you have a lot of weird political stuff that influences what and how each state performs certain processes.

There’s also a huge flow of travel from US to Israel, and lots of weird corner cases and loopholes. (Just like Canada and Mexico)

Why do they need to change? The tab bar has been perfectly functional for decades, and the relatively recent change makes it worse in many aspects.

I don't mind changes that fix problems or introduce new useful features, but don't fix what ain't broke. And no, some designer/product manager somewhere having to justify their salary doesn't count as a valid problem in my book.

As far as I can follow the accusations this is the current state:

- lied about travel activity beforr entering Australia (he declared not having traveled within 14 days prior to entering the country but he flew from spain and had an interview in serbia during this time)

- if what zerforschung found here he did not have a negative PCR after getting a positive PCR test first (which would mean he cannot infect others and has bery likely immunity), but a negative PCR and *then* a positive PCR after, which could in the worst case mean he was infected and still travel.

In any case my doubt about the truthfulness might be colored by my experience with the uncorrupting nature of serbian bureaucracy. Were I had multiple instances of public officials trying to get bribes for very basic things.
It is not that simple. If you are willing to shell out more money for "professional" products, you can get products that standalone or you can buy a standalone system (e.g. security cameras with an NVR etc.). What we are getting is a two-tiered society where people with more money have the option to "completely" own their appliances/electronics/homes, while the majority of people cannot afford to do so.
I've used gevent for years and I've benefited from being able to fire many http requests using requests and many postgresql sql queries in parallel from a django view, waiting for all of them to complete and generating a response. It was easy to do and the code was easy to write.

For the simple case, the throughput is not improved over sync workers. The scalability does improve. Basically, your code can magically cheaply wait for thousands of sockets to get ready, but it can't magically process more requests per second.

They aren't perfectly in line, but they're perfect enough, and the black plague wasn't instant, it lasted several decades giving ample time to make adjustments. If you planted food to feed x hundred million people and after the plague you're planting food to feed only 60% of that number, you're going to require a lot less labor to plant and harvest those crops. Repeat for all the other occupations like butchers, tailors, blacksmiths, etc...

There's a big and important difference between caring about something and feeling/being responsible for something.

I care about an aircraft being flown safely. But for the love of God, don't put me in the cockpit and make me responsible for flying the plane safely.

Ditto for mental health of undergrads when I'm lecturing. I'm there to teach them how to implement a red-black tree. Do I care about their mental health? Of course. Do I feel any responsibility for it? Hell no.

Sometimes caring about something means NOT taking responsibility for that thing.

I mean anytime someone whataboutisms literal ongoing genocide, it's bad faith, period.

More pointless pedantry from TViV, as I listen frequently as well: the hosts always point out that RT-PCR tests for the presence of viral RNA, but viral RNA particles being inside your nose or mouth doesn't necessarily mean they are infectious. The scale of CT values is 0–100 and lower CT values means more RNA copies. This is used a proxy for infectivity, though it's not terribly scientific. Furthermore, CT values are rarely (if ever) included on the test results.
For end user/consumer software, 90% is nowhere near high enough. In b2b/enterprise settings you have levers to help you push that number higher through IT policy, but end users will absolutely attempt to visit your cutting edge 2022 website on the iPad 3 they've used lightly.

My rule of thumb has been that if it's an app core to someone's job or life management, it needs to be functional for hardware/software going back 5-7 years, less if it's just entertainment or something.

Does the author want us to just be spineless bags of jelly, waiting for death? He cuts down the idea of "fixing ourselves" and says righteousness is a dangerous addiction. Of course you can't "fix yourself", there is no point to any of this, but you have to believe something while you are here, you have to have some righteousness or you will be run over.
One important note is that there’s actually a couple different kinds of DNS servers; Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 and Google Public DNS are examples of recursive resolvers. These resolvers do what is described in this post, which is to say, recursively resolve a DNS request using authoritative DNS servers. And authoritative DNS servers are in the hierarchy observed here, starting with the root name servers, the TLDs, and then any number of delegated authoritative name servers for specific zones. (I’m sure there is a limit to how many you can practically have, either due to protocol limitations or simply because recursive resolvers will give up.)

The reason why public recursive resolvers are unreliable when records change is because they cache answers according to the TTL, recursively. If you always use the authoritative servers to walk the query, though, you effectively sidestep this, since authoritative servers are the ones that actually store the records.

(In the past it was also common for operating systems to default to caching DNS records, but even though it is definitely beneficial for performance, I think a lot of them have stopped, for the sake of making things less confusing. You can potentially improve your web browsing experience by installing a caching DNS server locally to your machine or network!)

AGRs also perfectly demonstrate some of the more perverse elements of the nuclear economy.

They don’t prevent the spread or contraction of the virus but they reduce the transmission period and greatly reduce the severity of the disease if a fully vaccinated person contracts Covid-19. They may not be a panacea but they’re a very useful tool in dealing with Covid-19 and keeping people out of hospital unnecessarily.
Boeing’s Updated Valkyrie Reveals Evolving Hypersonic Design
Only Chrome so far it seems. Firefox's position:

> We are generally in support of a mechanism that addresses the use cases implied by this solution document. While major questions remain open at this time -- notably, multiplexing, the API surface, and available statistics -- we think that prototyping the proposed solution as details become more firm would be worthwhile. We would like see the new WebSocketStream and WebTransport stream APIs to be developed in concert with each other, so as to share as much design as possible.

https://mozilla.github.io/standards-positions/

Unclear what the WebKit (Safari) folks think, based on https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2021-September... that has no replies.

Microsoft is just doing whatever Chrome is doing with Edge, so I guess it'll appear there sooner or later, but can't find any public information.

Bit early to start using WebTransport seems to be the conclusion.
iOS also doesn't allow the browser to be updated after the hardware has reached end-of-support. In general, Chrome OS devices have 6-8 years of support, while iOS seems to have ~7.

But in the case of Chrome OS this is likely to be fixed soon because Chrome is getting unbundled from Chrome OS, meaning it can be updated separately. This is codenamed Lacros and is in testing now. Devices currently receiving updates are likely to get it. https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/09/12/google-is-separatin...

Also, Chrome OS devices explicitly support unlocking and installing alternative OSes. If you don't like what Google does with Chrome OS you can install Linux or Windows instead and keep using your hardware as long as you like.

The patent in questions covers using a controller device on a LAN which presents a UI to the user to raise, lower or mute/unmute volume which then raises, lowers or mutes/unmutes the volume across a set of speakers grouped together on the LAN. It does not cover a specific method of doing this. Any method accomplishes the above would be covered by the patent.

Why shouldn't it? It's a perfectly usable device. Why should it have to go to landfill?
Your 10 to 15% figure is total transmission and distribution loss from producer to consumer. If you scale up the transmission distance only, the total shouldn't change much. There are several studies referenced in this course http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2010/ph240/harting1/. Looks like 2 to 3% loss over 1000km.
If that were the case, we'd be talking about something more substantive than the UI for grouping speakers together.
Well yes, but the illusion is enough for enough people.
> He says he is not sure if these are all covid deaths

Yes, though he's speculating, as are we all. The reality is that bodies turned up in the river at an unprecedented rate just as the rest of the country was struggling with Delta. Bodies floating into the rising river is not something that only happened in 2020. Indeed, if rains are a known issue why cremate so close to the rising river? Pyres were so close to the river because there an unusually high number of them. Nobody would suggest that 100% of them were COVID deaths, but it seems likely a very high proportion of them probably were. Indeed, as the top level headline notes that excess deaths, regardless of the official cause of death is what we need to watch out for as a signal.

> Also learned that some inter the bodies of infants and unmarried women directly into the river

This is actually in line with the standard practice in other parts of the country, ie, burial, rather than cremation, for children and maidens.

> Regarding the grandparent comment, they are definitely not poor. They have a lot of money.

The point is that there is context to the comment we're not privy to. The elderly say many things out of frustration and as a commentary on their own families sometimes. For example, I had a relative remark several times that when he died he wanted to be 'thrown to the dogs', or in the trash. Does it imply that this was a traditional practice in the family? No, but it was a comment on the perceived indifference of his family. Are there communities that practice interring in the river as a traditional practice, and not simply as a cost saving measure, and your friend is from one such group? Perhaps, but if there are they are a vanishingly small group, otherwise the river would be choked with bodies on a regular basis. A body showing up once in a while would not be noteworthy. That so many did in a very short window in the summer of 2020 says that the traditional practitioners probably aren't the source.
> already good enough

Are they? I was under the impression they required some sort of subsidy and/or restrictions on natural gas production to be competitive.
The problem with your argument that while there is currently more funding for renewables historically much more funding has gone to nuclear [0], and that is not even counting the significant military funding. In fact renewables got to the current state with much less funding, so why should we pour much more money into nuclear when the return on (research) investment is much better for renewables?
