Obviously that will be the case to some extent, but it doesn't necessarily explain the whole effect, given this part:

> Dose-response meta-analysis indicated a strong inverse association, wherein the risk decreased linearly from 2700 to 17,000 steps per day.

I expect (especially in the US) that many or even most people who could walk several thousand steps a day, don't. They talk about the 70+ age group separately, but most of it is talking about the general population and says the relationship holds.

Of course, this meshes with what we already know about the clear links to exercise causing better health - not just things like balance, less risk of injury, bone density etc. in older people but for anybody prevention of or improvements to things like non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (combined with diet), improvements for those with metabolic syndrome, etc. which all contribute to a lot of early mortality.

Not everyone has to be a saint to be part of society. There are plenty of people that wouldn't be in a life of petty crime if they had better options. The fact that we have more train thieves than say any other given country is more to do with our lack of opportunities for these people than the fact that we aren't disincentivizing it enough. Plenty of places that have fewer disincentives for crime yet have less crime. Disincentives can work as a brute force method, but if there is an underlying reason why certain minorities or groups of people are inclined to what we have defined as a crime in society, then brute force methods will just push them toward alternatives, and it may not necessarily be finding a good 9-5 job as you suggest.
I feel like doing stupid comparisons right now. Feedbin, The Old Reader, or even running a feed aggregator on your own computer are like the sound of a tree falling in the woods. They're also not like The Matrix, because not only they can't be explained but the people who still complain about Google Reader don't understand them when they see them themselves.

> Is this actually a way to bump up power generation capacity - by getting the turbines to "spin faster" rather than spinning up more turbines? Also, if the turbines are spinning faster, why does the frequency of the generated AC drop?

The article might be explaining it wrong.

They want the turbines to spin faster because they're generating at 59.4 Hz when they should be at 60. Keeping at 60 is a balancing act. When there is more load, the turbines want to slow down and to maintain speed you need more pressure.

You can have a 50 MW turbine generate 25 MW of electricity. It still spins at the same speed, but because there is only 25 MW of load, it needs less steam pressure to maintain speed. When the load increases, they increase the pressure and it generates more power while spinning at the same speed.

But if you take a bunch of generation capacity out of the grid, you now have a 50 MW turbine with 65 MW of load. Putting enough steam pressure to generate 65 MW of power into a 50 MW turbine is out of spec and could damage it, but put less than that in and the frequency falls.

> Good teaching for gifted learners requires an understanding of "supported risk." Highly able learners often make very good grades with relative ease for a long time in school. They see themselves (and often rightly so) as expected to make "As," get right answers, and lead the way. In other words, they succeed without "normal" encounters with failure. Then, when a teacher presents a high-challenge task, the student feels threatened. Not only has he or she likely not learned to study hard, take risks and strive, but the student's image is threatened as well.

This is the key. Everybody constantly says you're great cause you are so smart. Your value and identity is build on that for half your life at that point. If you suddenly can't deal with something - it means you're a fraud. Better to fail because you haven't tried ("you're so smart but so lazy") than to fail after a solid try ("you are not special after all, you're just a regular kid").

And for a while it works - you put less effort not to risk being "found out", you get same effects (or even better effects because if you haven't tried and still got A it means you're that much smarter). Then it stops working and you're absolutely miserable never having learned to put in the work.

I don't know how to "fix" this problem, I think the first step is to stop showering gifted kids with praise.
The rational profit-maximizing strategy is to minimize spending on routine maintenance and winterization, which predictably results in supply that will occasionally fail catastrophically, and then pocket billions in windfall profits during each catastrophe.

If the state's objective is to maximize corporate profits at the expense of ratepayers, they have succeeded.

But if the objective is to reduce the frequency of catastrophes, the state might consider reducing the incentive to produce catastrophes.
The USA is not a totalitarian communist regime. A move leftward for a Democratic capitalist society is modeled on Nordic states, which have the highest outcomes in the world in terms of nearly everything good for humanity. Comparing US liberalism to 1920s communism is highly disingenuous and makes me unable to remotely take your comment seriously.

You need to make an argument beyond just observing that things went wrong and the market is deregulated. The real world is messy and there will always be emergencies and crisis. Just because an emergency happened somewhere that believes in laissez faire principles doesn't mean that those principles caused the problem.

On net, people would much rather move to Texas than away from Texas. The mobile people think it is better than the alternatives. The historic approach to policy by the Texans is a major contributing factor to that.
Of course it's happening to all other media. When is the last time you got together with your friends and recited an epic poem? When is the last time you acted out one?

Writing (and copyright) has been snuffing out oral traditions for thousands of years. Music was the last bastion of folklore for a long, since reading and writing sheet music has never been a widely taught skill, and recording technology only appeared very recently.

But today we are essentially living in the first era where there is no folklore, no art of and by the people. The way this will impact culture moving on is extremely hard to predict, but scary.

I would complement your knowledge management platform with a passive way to reference previous content. Save every paragraph of text that is being read/written and implement semantic similarity search. For example you could use a Hugging Face model and an Approximate Nearest Neighbor index.

Then integrate this search with an extension on top of your regular search engine, such as Google. Bonus if it logs across all apps, not just the web browser, and if it implements semantic and source based blacklisting to control what is being logged, for privacy.

This is complementary to your approach because manual logging is hard and slow while passive logging + semantic search can follow everything. It will be like an external memory.
Everything is mutable. Builtin operators like assignment and equality are hardcoded and may behave badly for user-defined types. It doesn’t have subtypes; you can slice to an embedded value but can’t get from there back to the containing struct or its methods. It doesn’t have generic covariance and contravariance; you can’t decide whether a []Animal or a []Bulldog is acceptable in place of a []Dog.

There is not enough information in the article to actually understand what they mean. Spinning the generator a bit faster or slower is not the problem. They should always be operated within their limits, so that is not the problem. The problem is that when one region is overloaded it loses synchronization with the rest of the grid and that causes issues. Before that happens some regions are shut off (local controlled blackout), the grid is split up and some power plants even go offline.

In general it's like this:

* Generators in the whole grid need to be synced up (frequency identical and phase difference small).

* If the generators in one area cannot keep up with the load in that area the frequency drops a bit (phase is shifted back).

* Powerlines transmit power from areas with more generation capacity (where phase is ahead) to areas lacking capacity (phase in the lacking area is pushed ahead and frequencies remain identical).

* Powerlines have limited capacity.

* If the transmitted power is not enough to satisfy demand in that area the generators slow down more (phase gets further behind).

* If one area gets out of phase too much it would lose frequency completely and there would be catastrophic failure in powerlines, transformers, generators, switches etc..

* To prevent catastrophic failure all areas agree on a small band of frequency variation inside which the regulation mechanisms work.

* If the frequency falls below that the grid disconnects into islands.

* The islands will either go dark completely (and power plants in those areas shut off) or they will have an oversupply of electricity (with these power plants reducing production).

* Regions with an oversupply go back to nominal frequency, sync up and reconnect. Then bit by bit the other areas are connected.
Disclaimer: I am a Googler voicing my own opinions about our products.

Google really does use all of its own products internally. In fact, I've had a FAR better experience inside Google than outside of it. When 100% of your work happens on chat/gmail/docs/other internal tools, it's pretty seamless. We rarely dogfood external use cases though, where users don't fully drink the Kool-Aid.
`totals.browser` contains user agents (or something similar).

Why are there (personal?) email addresses in there as well? Who sets that as their user agent?

You can't send iMessage to non-iPhone user then.

You still can send SMS/MMS to non-iPhone user.

But because Apple intentionally bundled SMS/MMS messenger app into iMessage you are thinking iMessage == SMS/MMS.

To give you an idea why are conflating them - you don't actually need a phone number for iMessage/FaceTime. Because the primary ID for it is your Apple ID, not your phone number.

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

Because I simply don't want to expend the same amount of cognitive load to read config files as I do for code.

Yes, yaml has some minor ambiguities. These are easily solved. To use the example from the article:

countries:
- ca
- "no"
- us

There, done. The problem was solved with 2 extra characters and remembering the fact that `no` is special in yaml. Comparing that to the amount of typing I have to do to define a scheme, the syntax of which I have to learn, which I also have to read or remember and keep in mind every time I read the config, I take the 2 extra double-quotes.

And, speaking of statically typed languages: This problem would be caught immediately anyway if the config is read into static types.
They created their own messaging system and let SMSes enter it. You can't send an SMS to a WhatsApp group. Problem solved.

Of course you can install WhatsApp on any phone but you can't install iMessage on Android so maybe Apple had to let SMSes in.

My use case at the moment is to get the video my STB at the office is showing to show in real time in a window on my laptop at home. Currently I use a webcam pointed at a monitor connected to the STB, and I use motion to make the MJPG available. The laptop has a VPN connection to the office and can connect to the HTTP server in motion. I need to be able to resolve text when it is a fairly light color on a supposedly contrasting fairly light background. In practice with the webcam and Motion I'm close. Frequently the text part doesn't quite work.

I was using ffserver also.

I don't particularly need the HTTP layer nor the browser itself. But I can tell a colleague on the office network: Look at my $WEBCAM_URL to show them something on my STB so that's nice. If I could say "ffplay $WEBCAM_PARAMS_AND_IP_ADDRESS" and it was available within the office, that would be the same.

Hmm, I don't get it, my messages are all dark.

Ah it's my own messages that are green (took me a while to find one). Ok, so I think I used iMessage at some point, not sure though. Have to admit that that green bubble feels a bit dated, so perhaps it's on purpose? Anyway, nobody uses iMessage here, I don't remember ever seeing a blue bubble in the messages app, it's al Whatsapp here, which is actually worse, at least iPhone users seamlessly switch between sms and iMessages, in Whatsapp you're left out with a dumbphone (and I know people with dumbphones still). Then again, they may avoid Whatsapp on purpose.
I really wish we had legislation against obnoxious DRM. If I break into somebody else's computer actively there are a bunch of different laws I'll break in different countries around the world, most of which have criminal penalties. A scheme like the one in this article however is very negligently unsafe and arguably malicious in its original intent. Yet a victim would have to prove a civil tort and face an uphill battle to do so.

The jQuery era is something I’d never want to go back to. Not because jQuery was bad, but because the basic DOM api was so poor, JavaScript was much more limited and incoherent, and webpages made anything outside of text input difficult (e.g. no voice, no gestures).

Back in those days you could write to Xerox PARC to request their Tech Reports and a few days later they’d show up in your (physical) mail box! I got quite a few reports that way, learned a bunch, and even did toy implementations of some things such as the RIP, SPP protocols and so on. I learned about RPC from Bruce Nelson’s thesis and got a chance to use it for a client in 1984!

Absolutely! I grew up in a country with fairly high rate of literacy, which derived subtitles usage almost 100%, and reading them while enjoying the original voices behave second nature, and what's never fully translatable led to learning foreign languages specifics.

You can find the setup with Traefik here: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki/Proxy-exampl...

Now - I used traefik and caddy extensively (and everything I do is in docker these days) and caddy is so much, much better than traefik.

I used traefik v1 and v2 and struggled with having an optimal configuration. With caddy it just works.

The main difference is that with traefik you usually try to squeeze your configuration in the docker-compose.yaml, but end up with a traefik configuration as well.

With caddy you have everything in a caddy file - in my case adding a service with plenty of things set up (filtering for networks etc. is a matter of adding

https://my-new-service.com {
import lan container-name:PORT
}

On top of that, the caddy community is great - some questions may seem simple for the ones who are used to proxies etc. but are very hard to understand for the newcomers. There are always kind guidance for these people in the forum.

Same experience here. It loads instantly when 99% of the sites need 30s to 1 min to load. It looks decent on mobile (not too big, not too small). Contrast is good, fonts are readable. This guy should give web design lessons.
I loaded it on mobile too..

- Horizontal scrolling because it isn't properly responsive.

- it doesn't reflow when the device orientation changes

- no sound (there's an audio control so I guess there's meant to be..)

- the audio control sits over the flags

- wildly different text sizes everywhere

- so much layout shift

- from an error loading the Korean version I think it's running on a platform that tracks what users do (serverside tracking is mostly fine in my opinion, and unavoidable really, but it's still tracking).

It's fun, and oddly similar to my first website actually, but I'll take the modern Web over this sort of nostalgia every time.
> Recorded and live music should be considered as two different things

There is ample evidence you are simply wrong. Recorded music is replacing live music in every possible way. People play recorded music at their weddings and parties - once a staple of live musicians. People play recorded music while working - one of the main places where people used to hum and sing themselves. Where once one might pull out a guitar, today they are more likely to pull out a phone.

Sure, live concerts still exist - but this is more like the difference between going to cinema vs watching a movie at home, or eating out at a restaurant vs cooking at home.
