Humans are by an OOM or more the most complex creatures to arise from raw natural selection; about us we have constructed a fractal diversity of society and culture.

Humans are animals, yes, but they have long transcended the ordinary pressures of environment and selection. In a stupor, trying to comprehend our exceptionalism, we intuitively and nonsensically describe much human behavior as "unnatural."

Your crude reduction of human reproductive choice denies myriad past choices made in free will, subsuming both the terror of power and the rare true love to biochemical animism. Go far enough down this path and you will assign to animal spirits the abstract free will you deny, accidentally recreating primitive religion & symbolic thought, thus elaborately disproving yourself.

We're obviously animals. That's a place to start, but not an insight. Contending otherwise is insight to the soul and pain of the speaker, not their society.

The end, the ur-insight: a universal theory which succinctly predicts homosexuality, Dennis Kuchinich's marriage, the Ptolemaic family tree, the fate of the Sabine women, and Kate Upton's romance.
> I know flash can get some impressive endurance now, but if you start treating it like RAM, is 1000x that endurance even enough?

Anything with limited endurance will need some kind of controller in front of it that makes sure that it wears out evenly. You'll end up with "copy-on-write" RAM that will be inherently slow/space inefficient, either due to block size being way too large for typical RAM access pattern or the data structure managing it becoming too large.

And of course you incur extra latency from having to do look-ups in the first place.
There's a clear kind of "ubergovernment" tone in the responses to this thread that assumes governments are an omnipotent force. Is there a name for this, or is it common in discussions about blockchain? I suppose it's simply the other side of the coin on "uncensorable". To me the better argument against this is "no one will want to use it" vs "it's impossible to beat the government"
Consumers buy the phones that are advertised to support features (e.g. LIDAR) and iMessage. They pay for the OS development.

Granted the SDKs would probably be much less comprehensive if there were no 3rd party apps but Apple advertises how their hardware can be used incl. by 3rd party apps and providing the libraries to access that hardware is expected by users (even if they don't think about this, most people expect Snapchat to access the camera).

Bandwidth/Hosting is covered under the $100/yr but if it wasn't, they could easily charge devs for tiers of downloads. Most of the support I'd bet is on the consumer side which wouldn't apply if there were other payment processors.

Never give them your phone number. They suckered me, and it took multiple calls to a very slow call center to get the text messages to stop. And I couldn't get them to just delete it - it had to be done as a number change. So my number is now 415.555.1212.
I think in CVS's case likely yes, they probably hired underpaid folks to implement their site, and now those folks are probably long gone so no one would even know how to remove all those advertising domains without which the site doesn't work.
Okay, perhaps a more detailed breakdown of the false claims will help, so that nobody is misled by revisionist/apologist history.

> Unicode was assumed to be 64k of codepoints

Not in 2002, when MySQL restricted their utf8 to three bytes [1]. Before 1997, Unicode specified clearly that 21 bits was the limit [2]. By 2002, there were 94,205 characters, including CJK characters beyond the 16 bit range, and clearly more to come. [3]

> so a 3-byte UTF-8 sequence was considered "long enough"

Not by many. The MySQL developers chose very badly, here. I and plenty of other developers managed to implement UTF-8 more correctly around that time. It wasn't hard, as the specs are very straightforward.

> especially since there were surrogate pairs for the rare cases where you have to encode higher code points

Surrogate pairs have never been supported in UTF-8. The RFCs are explicit about that. [4] [5] (search for D800)

Maybe you're thinking of CESU-8, though that's not intended for interchange. [6]

> Only "recently" have longer UTF-8 sequences (aka. emojis) become widespread enough that this became a problem.

Not supporting Unicode properly has always been problematic; it's just that bug reports from affected users rarely reached the right people. Emojis have done the world a favour in making less competent developers actually notice their bugs in basic text handling.

> Yes, it could have been avoided

And was, by most developers.

> they probably just wanted to optimize a bit.

They apparently altered a config number [1], so it wasn't an optimization decision; the code at the time still had support for 6-byte utf8 [7]. I would guess that they found a bug in their support for longer utf-8 sequences/conversion and took the hacky way out.

Since basically always, I'm still using PiVPN https://www.pivpn.io/

At least they are only advising them to invest a little and sadly it's not like you can invest $5-10 in something like an index fund. The top comment even just advises to protect against inflation generally, and not with crypto if you don't particularly like to.
Oh don't get me started on that! I already gave, and regretted it ever since. There's no way to stop those messages now.

I even called them and they stopped for a while, and are now back in full force, right after my recent order.

Incidentally, I've even discovered what seems to be one of (probably many) security issues on it (one where you could see other person's order details without authentication, in this case for myself), but I'm not gonna report it because they likely don't even have a bounty program and it was likely a "feature" implemented intentionally.

The only way to understand it in a real sense is to realize that currencies don't have to make any sense whatsoever. If people accept it, it's a viable currency. Literally nothing else matters.

A related thing that I realised a few days ago about compression algorithms:

<!doctype html><meta charset=utf-8>
<!DOCTYPE html><meta charset="utf-8">

Compress these with gzip, and the first is smaller than the second (56 and 58 bytes): lowercase doctype because you’re using very few uppercase letters in your document (on slightly larger samples it tends to save a byte or two), and omit the quotes as unnecessary. On larger documents there will be some places where you need quotes around attribute values, but it’s still worth omitting them when you can.

LZMA, similar: 60 and 63 bytes.

But then compress these with Brotli, and it’s the other way around by a larger margin, 29 and 19 bytes, because Brotli ships a dictionary primed on arbitrary web content. And so it becomes a popularity contest, and an inferior but vastly more popular technique compresses better.

In the case of #008000/green/#00ff00/#0f0/lime/#ffff00/#ff0/yellow, the dictionary doesn’t look to bee tainted, so traditional length and repetition wisdom still applies.

It's perfectly normal for supply chain issues to radiate out and diffuse from the initial bottle neck.

> At what point do you acknowledge that there has been a general increase in the price level? If you agree that there has been an increase, when do you think it counts as 'inflation'?

Inflation is an rise an average of prices. It is a symptom, not a single disease.

Monitarists might say there is "the" inflation where all the prices go up, and no good "real activity" excuse to point the finger that. That's like...just their theory, man.

I’ve seen so much criticism of Robert Malone, on his resume, yet no one has gone point by point through his Rogan interview on the data. Why not?

Tbh the data they talked about sounded solid, they were clearly talking about real papers and data, and Malone didn’t seem like he was BSing (although I think “mass formation psychosis” is insane and neither Malone nor Rogan should be talking about stupid shit like that).

But on the vaccine, was there a lot of bad data there? If there was, where’s the takedown?

If you're looking to replicate this, I'd recommend Contabo's plans over LiteServer. The network uplink is slower, but you don't need gigabit internet for just email. €6 (inc. VAT) there nets you 4 cores, 8GiB of RAM and 50GB of NVMe storage (or 200GB of SSD storage). Hosted in Germany, and can be paid for monthly if you want to try it out.

It's the best VPS provider I've seen, and their cheap servers are big enough that you can throw Mailcow (or Mail-in-a-box, or mailu, for a smaller mail solution with fewer fancy features) onto it without performance tweaks. Same advantages, but better bang-for-the-buck.

I'm not sure if I'd go with Amazon for DNS hosting, though, I don't trust their DNS servers ever since their DNSSEC implementation took down Slack for a while.
An important part, adding DNS SPF records, is missing. And I would like to see mention of deliverability stats, since lots of times e-mail send from a new IP is marked as spam in some providers, even if DKIM, DMARC and SPF is all right.

Wow so Pierre Kory is a “misinformant” now since he talks about using ivermectin alongside a large cocktail of other drugs in his practice of COVID 19 outpatient treatment ?

Have people lost their marbles entirely, ivermectin is under active study and Kory afaik has used it, in his opinion and experience, successfully. Now talking about that is a thought crime?

So anything BELOW the standard of a double blind large scale trials is a “lie” not worth spreading, even though we now have as it was explained on another Rogan episode (by someone who appeared very centrist and even handed) that placing this sort of demands on a developing issue might block innovation since large scale double blind trials are incredibly expensive, generally financed by Big Pharma for their own medicine.

Same thing here. I suspect that's due to the fact that

a) curbside services charge a nifty premium, and stores revenue share with them. I'd be surprised if that doesn't lead to prioritization.

b) this is demand usually known well in advance, which helps the stores deal with planning.

c) In many stores, it's strictly a shelving issue. If the curbside service has in-store pickers, there's a chance they can skip shelving and the need for shelving staff.

d) The curbside delivery workforce is a bit more elastic, so Covid shortages don't necessarily manifest the same way.

Ironic that the OP commits the same sin as the bad examples that he's describing - namely, neglecting to take into account the user's potential lack of context for the issue at hand.
Under this definition of "editorialize", instances where someone else besides the submitter uses, i.e., changes, the title to express their own point of view about what's important in the article or the story are not examples of editorializing.

Why not let people make up their own minds. The source of the article or story chooses a title; it is their right to do so. Readers may or may not agree with that choice, and they are free to point out where they believe it may be misleading or "linkbait". What is the harm in allowing readers to draw their own conclusions. By changing the title, that process of review by a variety of readers is prevented. Why not let readers be independent thinkers.
AltServer can do it but in my experience the Windows version of AltServer is extremely unreliable. AltStore never really auto-renewed properly for me until I put AltServer on an old MacBook Air. Furthermore, the fact that this process needs a second device to bootstrap provisioning at all[0] might be a non-starter for some. Take a week-long vacation? Well, now all your sideloaded apps stop working.

A far bigger limitation for me is the three-app provisioning limit. There isn't any way to work around it[1], and if you do want to do serious sideloading you almost certainly will need to upgrade to a paid developer account.

[0] Specifically iOS only allows app provisioning over USB or Wi-Fi, not locally. Locally installed software cannot actually communicate with the remote debugging daemon. You can work around this with network extensions, but you don't get to use them in dev-signed apps unless you have a paid dev account that's been approved by Apple to use them.

For the record, that isn't to make sideloading harder; that's because Facebook went and shipped a spyware VPN with their enterprise cert.

[1] Personal experience time: Even when jailbroken, and with AltDaemon and Immortal installed, AltStore still bumps up against the three-app limit.
> comfortable enough to bend the rules sometimes.

Mmm. The world we actually have suggests that this comfort is dangerous.

Robert Browning was a famous poet. Certainly competent enough with English that you'd assume he knows what he's doing and can bend the rules. So, Dictionary makers were a little confused by the passage in Pippa Passes, "Then owls and bats / Cowls and twats / Monks and nuns in a cloister's moods / Adjourn to the oak-stump pantry". Why did Browning use the word "Twat" in this context? Turns out that he just had just assumed it was a word meaning a hat nuns wear...

Oops. Of course this goof just means a high school literature teacher covering Browning has to decide whether to skip this part of Pippa Passes maybe "for time" and hope nobody asks about it, or explain to the class that even the best of us screw up sometimes. In Computer Software our mistakes are often not treated so kindly.
Unfortunately it's not accurate. It could approach a better accuracy with essentially a large css file that has a prebaked "simulation" that plays, but it's best to use JS for this type of thing.

It's simple to make in JS, and it can be intractable and allow for changing the inital conditions of the simulation, rather than an animation of a simulation.
Chess should help in impulse control and realizing the possibility and power of strategic thinking, which is thinking of a sort. For a lot of young people, that sort of wisdom could be very helpful in real life when a scam/easy money/grab the cash and run option shows up. The puzzle nature of tactics also trains the mind to intensely concentrate on one task.

Can’t see how chess would help much in “guess the next number”-type IQ tests. Chess at a certain level requires a very specific sort of pattern recognition that doesn’t really transfer. Sharp people do gravitate towards chess, and it is wonderfully egalitarian (cheap/ubiquitous) and culture-neutral.
I absolutely agree, however the point I made is that the temptation of the market share means there will always be app developers willing to step in to replace any that withdraw from the market.

If I'm an app developer, from a purely financial perspective, why would I forego a market of Apple's size, even with a 30% tariff? Sure, I may lobby for change, or even go to court to try to reduce that tariff. But while I'm doing that, I sure won't be leaving money on the table. And there's little chance I'll abandon that market in the interim, in order to maintain an ethical position.
Not a small number? What is it?

The windows store is barely used and devoid of probably 99.99% of applications. You can't search, for example, for "note taking" and find many of the most popular options. Heck, their search is so bad that even apps they don't have done show up. Microsoft's own app OneNote doesn't show in the results.

It is simple not at all comparable in quality to the app store on iOS.
