iCloud enables the (effectively unencrypted) iCloud Backup automatically on iOS, which sends a complete effectively unencrypted copy of almost everything on your device to Apple every night when charging.

Apple can decrypt the entire thing without you, your password, or your device. They do this when they receive a warrant, and they do this 20,000+ times a year for warrantless requests (no probable cause) from
the USG, too. This includes all your photos (effectively unencrypted) and all your iMessages and attachments. Nothing really important on your iPhone is private from Apple.

Also, if your cc fails for whatever reason, you will get locked out of your Apple ID, and won't be able to log in to or use any of the services you use Sign in with Apple on.

> Statically typed programming languages are catching on so why don’t we extend this typing to our config files?

What you really need is Cuelang. Cuelang does graph unification over a type-value lattice. This allows the user to do progressive type -> value refinement (e.g. type->range->value).

For configuration, this is both better than regular type systems, and better than inheritance.

- Looking for habitability: identify past environments that were capable of supporting microbial life.

- Seeking biosignatures: seek signs of possible past microbial life in those habitable environments, particularly in specific rock types known to preserve signs over time.

Curiosity: https://mars.nasa.gov/msl/mission/science/objectives/

Three of the eight science objectives:

- Determine the nature and inventory of organic carbon compounds

- Inventory the chemical building blocks of life (carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, and sulfur)

- Identify features that may represent the effects of biological processes

Purdue has a great reputation but I don't know anything about it personally except via Eugene Spafford. I may be biased because I like Scheme — SICP was a life-changing epiphany for me, and Essentials of Programming Languages was also quite revelatory — and Indiana has done a lot of inspiring Scheme work. I don't know of anything of similar importance from OSU but maybe they're really great in CPU design or subthreshold logic families or something?

As for getting in-depth information on topics, you don't need a university for that anymore. Library Genesis and sci-hub has more in-depth information on topics than you could ever possibly absorb, assuming it's legal in your country. What universities uniquely offer is community, financial support, and research: without universities, sci-hub would be a pretty empty place.
I agree that the problem is one of quicker feedback - the dev cycle should involve a program checking the yaml correctness (using types or otherwise) straight away and giving a useful error message. Too often I've seen incorrect yaml checked into git that fails with a cryptic error when deploying the application.

The strength of types, in my opinion, is composability. Most config files I've seen have ultimately pulled in input from another source and used that to create their output. Types would allow the configuration to be checked for correctness even in the face of unknowns.

Texas has another interesting labor rule, movie theaters are considered entertainment, so they are not required to pay over time. The result of this is that companies will happily schedule you for unlimited hours, as there's no penalty for going over 40 hours each week. I ended up working 60-90 hours a week in a movie theater, 7 days a week for.... three to four weeks at a time for almost two years. 12 days straight was entirely normal in my twenties. Two days off in a row was a rarity, and meant that money that month was going to be tighter than normal.

Your comment should be higher.

I had no idea NIH was doing a 15k patient study before reading your comment! If I had, I would have mentioned it explicitly when writing my above comment, and never lumped it in with bleach drinkers and flat earthers.

I was wrong! thanks for the info!

My (previous!) perception that it's bunk science was rooted in the story of its origin.

https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/ivermectin-misinforma...

After reading that, I dug into the sources they cite. Then the sources they cited. The whole thing STINKS! (which I know is not an objective scientific measure) -- and the more familiar you are with academia, the more the narrative of "this stinks like something bad" rings true. You've got plagiarism, a non-peer reviewed preprint with OBVIOUS data fraud being cited and used as a large source in a meta-study, now-retracted papers, and _political motivations of the scientists_... they all reinforce the narrative of "this is BS".

Check out the paper https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-1003006/v1 "Ivermectin for COVID-19: addressing potential bias and medical fraud"

Money quote: "These observations demonstrate that the significant effect of ivermectin on
survival was dependent on the inclusion of studies with a high risk of bias or potential medical fraud."

ALL THAT BEING SAID, it's undoubtedly true (to me, anyway) that the NIH doesn't do a 15k person study unless there's some scientific merit! So there's gotta be something worth investigating, the process is working, and, today I learned, thanks to you, that it's "not as stupid as bleach".

Do the front line labor want securities instead of cash?

You'd end up having to do something like a co-op model. However, if you want employees to earn their payout even if they leave before that five year payout then they couldn't sell back co-op ownership.

That means the co-op ownership continually gets diluted, or you run out of cap table to be able to hire more.

This scheme also means the first, eg fry cook, would make more money from the securities payout than the 3rd or 4th fry cook, even if the later fry cook is better/more dedicated/etc.

Also this means co-op voting for securities actions. The co-op can liquidate too early or too late which can hurt individual payout.

Install Little Snitch, and disable the built in allow rules for all of the Apple and iCloud stuff.

Each time an Apple process tries to connect, make a rule that says that app is never allowed to connect to any server, and set the rule lifetime to "forever". There are about 20-30 Apple processes in macOS that phone home even if you don't use iCloud, iMessage, or FaceTime, or the App Store. Once you block all of them your computer will be quiet on the network.
If WASI gets GPU support, WASM can also replace HTML + CSS and make the browser essentially a thin compatibility layer for nearly native apps.
Actually no, the C abstract machine is not contiguous. If x and y point inside distinct objects (recursively) not part of the same object, there is no valid c that you can add to x to reach y.

Because a subscription pricing model brings in more money and a more predictable revenue stream.

It is definitely an unusual observation, but I don't think it's really that big of a deal. A strong gravitational field would pull matter closer together, possibly kick-starting the fusion process if the energy density gets high enough in a certain region. If you asked an astrophysicist what would happen to a massive dust and gas cloud near a black hole, star formation would be 2 or 3 on the list that they rattle off.

> But the gentler outflow of gas from the black hole in Henize 2-10 is compressed just enough to facilitate star formation.

It's a Goldilocks thing. Black hole is strong enough to have a significant gravity, but weak enough that the shell of hot dense matter it harbors doesn't completely obliterate everything that falls toward it.
Remember CO2 capture from a flue gas stream does not reduce our existing atmospheric CO2 concentrations which are higher than they've been in over 3 million years (10X longer than we've been a modern species and 300X longer than we've had modern civilization). We MUST achieve atmospheric reductions soon (per the IPCC) which means some kind of rapidly scalable DAC and/or CDR. Solid Carbon is a key pathway there - but also remember the density of the solid carbon matters if you want to sequester carbon faster by handling the same amount of stuff. This research produces "flake" carbon (which appears to be less dense. From a rapid sequestration standpoint, the optimal form of solid carbon is denser. Probably graphite produced from zero fossil energy. The challenge is low-cost production and identifying new/expanded use-cases for graphite as a sequestration medium (new markets and new materials need developed here). This research is important and barking up the right tree but there's a lot of room for optimization if rapidly scalable sequestration is the objective.

I'm okay with the $72/user/year price, I think that is fair for what is included. But I have 147 users on my family domain account, and it would be a nightmare for me to individually bill all of them to share the expense.

I can't see this being less than a 60 hour project for me to deal with in total, so the main thing I'm upset about is what I perceive to be a short amount of time to deal with.

So far my best bet looks like signing up as a Fastmail reseller so that users can be directly billed by Fastmail. My preference would be to stay with Google because of all the issues I think I might run into by migrating off of it (mostly related to using it for authentication for other services, which is a practice I no longer do, but did for some time).

If Google would allow each user to pay separately for what they need, then that would be an easy decision for me, because I want to stay, but I don't want to pitch 146 other Wikman's to pay me to pay Google.
Or that it presumably makes use of override_redirect, as it escapes the X WM decorations, and draws its own windows not fitting in to the style of one's WM.

That is then made worse if one uses the ability to pop out a chat in a new window, such that it is very difficult to see the popped out chat.

I've resorted to always running the web version in a Chromium instance, that being the only way to make its UI usable.

Oddly enough, the macOS client is a bit more usable, but I've not tried popped out windows there.

Over and above that, it seems to be a bandwidth hog while just sitting there watching an idle chat/team/channel.

Some of us have an understanding of physics and have asked the question, if cryptocurrencies are a store of "value" what is the value that they are storing? If you break it down to its most basic unit of measurement the very concept of Proof of Work is that the "value" is entropy in for form of spent compute. That is all it is. The concept of "wastes energy" doesn't begin to cover it, the value is literally the sunk cost of the net energy used to "mint" a coin. Let me ask you a question, what is the value of used energy? There is none, entropy flows in one direction energy once spent, has no value. I can't get energy back from the spent compute, that power used is not producing anything useful other than a hash value on a ledger. Many of us are then anti-crypto because we're simply stating, The Emperor is wearing no clothes or The value of entropy is nothing. The entire thing is a purely speculative market on the cost of entropy, but entropy has no value.
Whenever there's a pair of synonyms where one is fancier than the other it's almost always because one is French in origin (i.e. used by the Norman upper class) and the other German (i.e. used by the Anglo-Saxon peasantry). Think "purchase" vs. "buy".

I know people attempted to correct the definition of 'theory' to discredit the 'It's only a theory' argument, but claiming it's only called a theory when it's "proven" is an overcorrection. In fact no theories are "proven" per se, the better theories just have known limitations.
I agree, but the US has a very shortsighted attitude here.

If you place regulatory burdens on some undesirable behavior (e.g. pollution) but do not place compensatory tariffs on the import of products resulting from that exact same behavior, you're not doing anything to reduce the undesirable behavior. You're simply encouraging people to do the undesirable things elsewhere. This not only fails to accomplish the goal, but also significantly weakens the country.

The exact same problem totally undermines labor policy and unions (except those of government employees).

There really ought to be some sort of automatic mechanism for "if X is illegal/taxed/regulated then importing the result of X happening overseas is forbidden/taxed/regulated". The US already has a specific, very efficient court that does this for one specific illegal act (patent infringement); it wouldn't be difficult to expand that scope:
