> The National Association of Manufacturers, an industry group, made an even more sweeping argument in a brief filed in support of the companies, writing, "state courts are not positioned to decide who, if anyone, is to be legally accountable for climate change, how energy policies should change to address it, and how local mitigation projects should be funded."

It's true that courts cannot do all three, I doubt that courts are trying to create policies, that seems a straw man argument. But "decide who, if anyone, is to be legally accountable for X" seems the main job of courts.

Companies lied to and/or mislead consumers with grave consequences to their health and economy. I see that to attribute a concrete amount on damages is challenging, but courts do it all the time.
Spent fuel pools at nuclear reactors not getting cooled is a bit of an issue after a nuke exchange.
UK government plans to release NMAP scripts for finding vulnerabilities
The ridiculously biased nature of the paper was readily apparent when opening it. I've followed ketogenic diets in the past, but was also a vegan for 3 years, and a vegetarian for 5. I'm super open-minded and results based when it comes to diet.

The opening paragraphs immediately launched into direct attacks on nutrient deficiencies which can be easily remedied on a CARNIVORE diet, but which don't actually exist on a standard keto diet. They essentially used a carnivore diet without organ meat supplementation as a straw man for the keto diet.

Because my father became a vegan when I was 15 after falling in love with a radical vegan animal rights activist who worked at PETA, I spent my high school years with parties of radical vegans at my house every weekend. The way they talked about nutritional science was reminiscent of how fundamentalist Christians talk about abstinence only sex education: They are far more motivated by shoving the means down your throat than they are about the actual realities of the ends. Like them, the PCRM is not a truth-seeking organization. They already KNOW the answer, and seek only to support their agenda.

Edit:

I had to add that I can't begin to describe how utterly irritating the PETA activists were. I actually had a very good friend who was no longer allowed to come over to my house. The reason, and this is fucking nuts:

I brought the friend along on a surfing trip to Cape Hatteras Island, North Carolina. We camped at Frisco, had a great time. My dad's PETA girlfriend was with us. On the way back, while driving north on Route 12 (a 2 lane road), in moderately heavy traffic, she saw a box turtle get clipped by a vehicle ahead in the oncoming lane. She immediately swerved the vehicle (a 1993 Ford Taurus station wagon) with me and my buddy inside, to block the two lane road, losing control in the process, tires squealing. We were utterly terrified. She immediately jumped out of the vehicle to go and render aid to the turtle. We narrowly avoided getting hit by multiple vehicles. Utter fucking nutcase, and most of the others were like her. If you're a person who worked at PETA in the past reading this, I'm sorry if I'm lumping you in, but those people are lunatics who love animals more than people.
This would have to be my favourite xkcd regarding COVID.

I make jokes frequently, and rarely get downvoted for them. They're rarely standalone. They're topical and non-obvious. Low-hanging fruit is punished here. Most jokes people happen to make are low-hanging fruit. It's like the reverse "lucky 10,000" effect: if you think something is funny, it's probably because it's novel to you. Meanwhile, the rest of us have seen that joke, on the internet, too many times already. Uninteresting comments go down. Also, delivery makes the joke: just like sarcasm, the medium isn't doing you any favors.
If you need a blockchain bring it to a server farm somewhere where energy is cheap, DigitalOcean will just eat up all your profit.

It seems pretty safe to assume that if you have an autoimmune disorder that causes heart inflammation when attacking a virus, in some people it may respond to the vaccine similarly.

This is what I'm most interested in. This is where SQL becomes very awkward and repetitive.

select
customer,
( select sum(revenue) from orders where customer=accounts.customer) as revenue,
( select count(transactionid) from orders where customer=accounts.customer) as orders
from
accounts;

That's a very simple example, but it can get VERY wordy and complex, and in my dreams I'd be able to write something like:

getrevenue(cust) is select sum(revenue) from orders where customer=cust
getorders(cust) is select count(transactionid) from orders where customer=cust

select
customer,
getrevenue(customer),
getorders(customer)
from
accounts;

In a way, it's just dynamic sql without hacking strings together in unmaintainable ways.

> the software you can't inspect with reasonable effort/time before running

What was the last time you inspected any command or application you executed on your computer?

How would you spot malicious code? Are you a security expert who has knowledge of all of the programming languages that have been used to write the apps you are running?

You have absolutely unrealistic view on this subject. Btw. Apple and many companies have a trivial way of spotting malicious application by simple checksumming the executables.

As a practical matter, GDPR doesn't apply to personal sites outside of EU. They're not going to go after some personal site in Iowa, and if they did, so what? After the massive PR debacle that would ensue, the EU regulators wouldn't actually be able to do anything about it.

Sure. I'm all for safety, but I also think that unsafe AGI, like the atom bomb, is an inevitability. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when we invent it and release it. The future is already murky but it's about to get a heck of a lot more so -- sentient AIs could be the thing that exalts humanity or the thing that destroys us. Break out the popcorn, because I'd wager we're going to see one of those outcomes in the next century.

A nice move for Blue Origin.

Perhaps not the ideal partner for Honeybee, but assuming Blue ultimately develops an orbital booster, it seems fairly complementary.

I suppose SpaceX is unlikely to acquire such capability, ULA doesn't really seem to be thinking that far ahead, and everyone else is just focused on launch: it kinda makes sense.

Ken - Dad got to see the S/360 assembly line one time (Kemet was a supplier for the 360), and he told me they had a machine built to probe & verify all the wiring in a cabinet. Pneumatic pistons pushed the test connectors (all of them, all at once) into the cabinet, and then another computer would run a set of verification tests to ensure that each wire ran to where it was supposed to, and that it had certain electrical properties (presumably crosstalk, signal loss, etc.)

While each model of 360 was standardized, customers could request certain options for their machine and IBM would accommodate them. So the testing computer would have to know what the customer's configuration was to know what the wiring was supposed to be for that particular cabinet.

So don't let me stop you? In general courts are going to have their own standards for such things that differ from your plain language reading, and a stack of paperwork from the surveillance companies' auditors will suffice to meet it. But by all means, go for it!

By my quick non-attorney reading I think you'll be arguing under 1681o, and still stuck showing actual financial damages for having been denied a loan or whatever. Point being they've legislated themselves out of the straightforward tort of libel by 1681h (e).
I have a Gmail account. I haven't been able to access it for at least four years. Google locked me out because I couldn't satisfy its demand for "two-factor authentication", which apparently to Google means "send a text message to a cellular phone."

Keto was originally developed as an anti-epilepsy diet until it was picked up as a weight loss diet - it's not claimed to be any kind of historical diet. I believe you're thinking of the paleo ("paleolithic") diet.

Is -0.1% deflation really that disastrous for economies? Is it really worse than 10% inflation?

I've never experienced it, so can't speak too authoritatively, but it kind of feels like accepted wisdom in the economic academia: so it isn't questioned - but a lot of economics is propaganda for the powerful, IMO - would minor deflation really hurt the common man significantly? Or would it mostly just punish the rich and powerful who are extremely leveraged?

> Who wants to pay 10% interest on their student debt?

Private student debt lenders already can and do charge in excess of 10% (which seems borderline criminal to me)
sure, but all of that is a cost which you don't have to pay with a monolith. Versioning APIs and having to constantly think about backwards compatibility with independently moving services is not trivial.

Sometimes the cost is worth it. Most of the time it's not

Well, 2 things - you are very much an outlier and general advice usually don't work in such a case. Great you found what works for you. It might not be transferable success to any other human being out there, at least not with some side effects you may not be experiencing.

Second point - you confirm OP's claim if I understood correctly - people go from one extreme (with having 170 pounds to lose that's some extreme obesity category, you get there by fucking up something properly and for long time and thats a kind language I am trying to use) to another extreme.

Extremes might be good for treating extremes, if it somehow magically clicks. For general population, some middle path is, as usually, the best choice. If there should be just 1 single rule and not a set of them, it should be: eat less. Of course there are many more good advices, but this should be first foundational step to any improvement.

(At least in Oracle) Rows are held in blocks, and the whole block must be read to retrieve a row within it. If the row entirely fits, there is no difference between selecting a subset of columns versus all of them, as the disk must do the same work. When columns are sharded over several servers, this would not hold true.

Never use SELECT * within the context of an application, as column additions or removals can break the app. It pays to be specific in code.

For interactive use, it's fine, especially when the exact spellings of the target columns is not known. The author might have more of a point on complex views.
Mostly I’ve just stopped using gendered terms. In a business letter even if the person is not trans you can’t assume Mr/Mrs/Ms unless you know. If their name is gender neutral or ambiguous I would say “Dear First Last,” though that’s even US/western-centric as not all cultures do it that way. If it’s a really important business letter you should probably find out the persons gender using some other channel. Also if the person has a title like Dr or Professor you can use that.

Some people use Mx as a gender neutral but I don’t think that would fly with a more conservative minded person.

> On the Internet, you have Google, Amazon, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter. Much of the good content is hidden in their secret gardens (Facebook, Twitter, and increasingly Reddit).

Is it really? I think that was true for a period of time, but that period had come and gone for the most part.

Google searches are pretty bad, and it's only a matter of time before it even loses its remaining relevance with normies.

Amazon, I can't really find much wrong with to be honest.

Reddit hung itself by its own rope with its redesign that turned it into yet another infinite scroll content site, taking the focus away from conversations and to memes and gifs. The site is a garbage can, and it's mostly crazies who are left. Reddit will remain relevant until people no longer use it as an alternative for finding real opinions that they can't find using Google. Its days are definitely numbered in terms of relevancy. You know it's bad when you're on your home feed and they shove in a live cam of a girl jiggling her rear end that you never subscribed to.

Facebook? I know almost no one under 60 who actually uses it or makes posts. Everyone's moved on to Instagram. I have 20 cousins and we communicate through Messenger (not my idea, I'd prefer Signal at least), but even a handful of them aren't even on Messenger anymore. Most of the groups are crap, though the Marketplace is halfway decent, which isn't hard to do when your only competition is Craigslist.

Twitter has remained relevant because of celebrities and journalists, and fewer and fewer people care about either of those groups anymore. More alternatives for different niches are going to pop up and while Twitter will never go away, it's well on its way to being nothing more than a sad joke.

> Discovery needs to be reimagined.

Right-o. As someone pointed out the other day, I think big search engines in their current form are on the way out. Hopefully we can move on to something that can rely on independent niche search engines instead of allowing megacorporations to be the gateway to the web. At this point I'm either using `site:` syntax with DDG or using the search features directly on certain sites. The only search terms I seem to get much useful for with DDG or Google is coding documentation. Anything else seems rigged and controlled.
Did you become a marketing mind because they were pitching you?

how many applications have been submitted?

Have you ever hand-written a word but want to hide it? One cross-out line doesn't do the trick. In fact, a full minute of trying to hide it with an ugly darkened-in box usually doesn't even do it. But if you just write a couple random letters over each existing one, people have basically no ability to recognize your original word.

That is my one insight. Take it for what it's worth.

The #1 reason to split your serving architecture into microservices is that your application can't fit in 1 server's memory.

If your application fits in 1 server, you have a choice, otherwise you don't.

If your application can't fit in 1 server and you can't split it up, you have to refactor so it can.

If you can't refactor your application to have isolated domains, aka your domain is so complex it must take up an entire server, you have a serious problem.

Clustered applications are unavoidable.
