Absolute alcohol (200 proof ethanol) has a number of ways to kill you. It's slightly poisonous on its own. It's a massively powerful dessicator, so it can turn tissue into leather. And, if you've got industrial quantities of the stuff, it's probably not quite pure: turns out you can't just distill it past 190 proof due to water and ethanol forming an azeotrope. To push past that limit requires azeotropic distillation using such fun substances as cyclohexane, benzene, and isooctane, and they definitely do exist in the final distillation output. Most of these are rather more poisonous than ethanol on their own, so you don't want to drink them.

So don't bloody well drink anything above 190 proof, ever, no exceptions! Though when you're going through 55-gallon drums of it to clean clean-room equipment, a lot of it tends to end up in the air... turns out you can get enough alcohol in the air to get noticeable effects on you.

Like I said, lots of ways to kill you.
Same, although I'm no longer doing what you're doing. With today's average bandwidth usage, I don't know why an ISP would seriously give a crap about someone hosting an HTTP server on their home IP unless it was dealing with some insane amount of traffic.
Salutes go out to the folks who can handle microservices, because they have always been a pain in the ass for me. The world needs more libraries, not services
Which part? The bit with Nixon is well known (see, for example, John Logsdon's book "After Apollo?"). As for SLS, it's called the "Senate Launch System" for a reason. Shelby in particular has saved it, to the extent that work on propellant depots was targeted for extermination (no one in NASA is to utter the "D" word.) Depots and propellant transfer render irrelevant the SLS's supposed advantage of large payload mass.
Big Skills
This is an important point that gets overlooked. It's likely that we already reached something like "the singularity," but most of the extra productive output didn't go towards finding ways to increase productivity, it went towards things without a positive impact and often a negative impact on society (advertising, junk food, conspicuous consumption, regulatory capture, sales, etc.).
Obfuscation is the point.

None of it designed to make it easy or to make sense. Because if people realized they are being taken for a ride, no one will show up and empty their wallets. It's what corrupt businesses and dictatorships do. Confuse and conquer.
Later on in the paper, they rely on a bunch of trials and specify a low-carb diet as <130g per day!

Yeah, I never see a good analysis of a strict keto diet... First two weeks are incidental carbs only, as close to 0 as possible.. after that maybe 20 a day, 30 a day, for months.

I'm on day 56 right now and down 21 pounds.
Value has never been based on energy; value comes from demand which is created by FOMO and enabled by exchanges where people can buy in. Of course crypto is entirely speculative.
China Gives 'Fight Club' New Ending Where Authorities Win
I'm using Samsung galaxy s8. I'm 3rd owner of it. Immediately when I got it almost 2 years ago I rooted it disabling my self to obtain latest updates for this phone. And I'm not whining about it loud.... I just don't get it why someone had to write about losing updates whole article? There are more important problems (real one)
Answer: "Because your team is smart and doesn't follow every hype as it happens."
That's not really how it works. A judgment is kind of a universal thing. It is a right to the the value of the judgment and you can assert it in any number of ways. If you have a judgment against a foreign company, and that company temporarily has some assets in a bank in the country that issued the judgment, you can get a court order to have them seized. You can also go to other countries and enforce that judgment. If I sue you in the UK and win, but I can't adequately enforce the judgment in the UK because all of your assets are in another country, I can generally go to that other country and ask a court there to enforce the judgment. One of the main things that court will look into is whether the court that issued the judgment was acting properly under international law in the first place.

A country that issues a judgment beyond the scope of its jurisdiction under international law is violating international law. There's no international police to come get you, but you're not operating by the rules of the road and foreign countries will start to look at judgments originating in your country with suspicion. If you aggressively enforce illegally extraterritorial judgments, such as by seizing the assets of foreign actors that are just passing through your company, you might even get into tit-for-tats with other countries.

Extraterritorial jurisdiction is not totally illegal, but there are limits and this would seem to be outside of those.
Afaik spending is referred to as “fiscal policy”. It’s hard to saw what “should” or “shouldn’t be” without being aligned on some objective measurement of outcome. After all, for a given policy change there will typically be winners and losers.
You’re confusing “microservices” with dependencies on a particular platform (presumably cloud providers). Microservices aren’t more likely to have these dependencies, as monoliths are often also deployed on cloud providers and assume a particular database, etc.

Anyway, if you’re dealing with microservices “lock-in” isn’t a real problem—you just move one service over to your new platform at a time. Good luck doing that with your monolith without decomposing it into services (and frankly, if you can feasibly decompose your monolith into services, your architecture is probably cleaner than 95% of monoliths out there).
Your anecdote is supported by clinical evidence. Virta Health has been conducting clinical studies over the past few years on treating T2D with nutritional ketosis with a high rate of success in putting T2D into remission leading to many patients coming off of their meds and insulin entirely.

The ADA has quietly acknowledged these studies in their Standard of Care and more recently has adopted a position of endorsing low-carb, but they're still ignoring keto despite the clinical evidence.

As you said, the ADA's guidelines are focused on managing T2D as a progressive disease which inevitably leads to increased medical requirements over time. Although T2D remains incurable, there's enough clinical evidence to conclude that for many people it's treatable with nutritional ketosis.

I like to think I'm a rational person and don't subscribe to conspiracy theories in general, but something about the ADA and their relationship with pharmaceutical companies just rubs me wrong. To my knowledge, their largest financial sponsor is Eli Lilly which also happens to be one of the world's largest manufacturers of diabetes drugs, including insulin.
There were even decent releases made on /mu/. Specifically, never having been on 4chan myself, I've heard of that scene by the way of Loli Ripe—whose music is basically j-core a-la DJ Sharpnel, but with more breakcore. I only wish that they would better normalize the volume between tracks.

IIRC there was also something vaporwave-related (predictably).

(Dammit, this all was really long ago.)
What crypto founders are doing
I mostly agree but it’s also pretty hard to LPE on modern hardened windows or Linux. Not impossible, but enough that low tier attackers can’t do it.
They have different priors and according to CDC a prior exposure to Covid yields better protection than vaccine alone, and vaccine in addition to prior exposure does not yield statistical significant reduction in hazard ratio.
I’m not very familiar with accountancy, but there seems to have been a lot of growth in internet-based tax prep for individuals who would previously have done their own. I couldn’t find historical data, but forecasts I found all agreed the number of accountants needed would rise over the coming years.

We don’t even have self-driving cars yet, how can you know what effect they have?
Yea I agree - Walmart and Amazon and all the giant corps have destroyed small businesses. We may be exposed to it less becuase like you said - the audience here lives in large cities where the population is diverse and wealthy enough for them to survive.

We have seen tons of boutique online vendors pop-up however. I wonder how the total diversity compares?

A new age "general store" that was a group of small online vendors getting together (shared ownership) might be an interesting way to resurge local business - imagine like a co-op but for small businesses all under shared physical locations. Products and vendors could even rotate out depending on the season and local population.
Actually this suggested law is problematic for all citizens of Israel. This law is very broad and can be used to force companies to remove content without restrictions. I really hope that this disgusting law doesn't pass.
If we do achieve AGI through a setup which is not only neural network based, but where even the architecture by which the nodes are connected is beyond our understanding, then, that sounds very bad for interpretability and therefore for safety.
This reads like a cult member wrote it. It's hard to take you seriously when you (absurdly) state that some diet makes claims.
I actually think this is onto something that I'm finding in a different way. Instead of a massive database, what if we had a key-value store mapping keys to tiny databases.

This is, to some degree, what I'm building over at http://www.adama-lang.org/ without a full SQL engine. Each document has tables, and the tables can be indexed. I have yet to find a usecase (in my domain) which requires joins. HOWEVER, I've had a ton of fun building it and I'm getting ready to start making games.

I do believe it would be amazing to have a key-logger service where a reducer like sqlite/adama could come into collapse the log into a single file.

The closest I see is from the Boki paper ( https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~zjia/boki-sosp21.pdf ) which was presented at SOSP21.
In that case hopefully a fork will be made and maintained by someone else.
> Now imagine I have a function, add(x,y), and I have an expression like add(add(add(5,6),7),8)... wouldn’t it be cool if I could use infix notation here?

Cool trick, but you can also just use def add(*args).
Liberal in most of the rest of the world usually means something similar to "neoliberal" which is usually thought of as a moderate or conservative ideology.

When you say liberal, do you mean it in the way it's used in the US (a stand-in for "leftist") or the way it's used in the rest of the world?
The magnitude of this fluorescence is likely way below the noise floor under normal conditions. They're fluorescing the cement with a laser under presumably not-extremely-bright conditions.
The real value proposition (and genius) of NFTs is that they have been designed as assets that function as securities but can't be regulated as securities.
I think Zuckerberg's "Metaverse" is going to be remembered as one of the biggest flops in tech history. Still think it's stupid how they took naming inspiration from Ready Player One, which IMO was a very generic, subpar, low brow story.

That being said, I really hope some major open source innovations and standards come out of this project for VR and AR hardware and software. The biggest barrier to these technologies IMO is hardware, so any innovations here are welcomed in my eyes, even if initially developed as part of a failed project.
I used to go blackberrying on the common above the cliffs at Portlet with my grandfather’s cabbage stalk cane to hold back the thorns…
> 1. People rarely compare it directly to something like a "Real Food" diet

Most people in the US aren't eating a "Real food" diet, which is actually where a lot of studies benefits come from because the baseline is so unhealthy - it's about what you're not/stop eating as much as it is about what you are eating.

> 2. It completely leaves out almost all legumes and many root vegetables and gourds which are both hugely beneficial and also some of the cheapest / most sustainable calories out there. There is a reason humans domesticated gourds early on - they are easy as hell to grow, tasty, healthy, balanced, and the shells often also provide other benefits.

Like the article says many people are on keto diet for cancer or neuro-degenerative conditions that potentially benefit from being in a state of ketosis & you can't do that even eating healthy nutrient carb sources like legumes and root vegetables.
We're in this together sounds a lot more like "You're in this with me."

> What “marketing minds” are making decisions about service architecture? This seems like an imaginary issue.

It is hard to hold this comment in a generous light (per HN rules) when some of my most poignant experiences in dealing with tech vendor salespeople at conferences is (and I paraphrase), "well, it's working great for $MEGACORP, you do want to be like $MEGACORP dont you?"

One time I asked one of those salespeople point blank if that line actually works on people. Apparently it does. And those people for whom that line works with make big expensive tech decisions.
Discovery really is hands down the biggest issue. I follow a lot of cool blogs and read a lot of neat stuff from them, but I found them mostly by stumbling upon them on Mastodon.

Actually side note one of my favorite ways to kill time is by going to https://wiby.me and hitting "Surprise me" and reading whatever comes up. I've really discovered some quirky but extremely fun spots on the web with it.
Except when they are not similar, that is. This is more common than you seem to think, e.g. TBE - tick-borne encephalitis - is a nasty piece of work of a disease which can leave the victim with permanent disabilities (around 25%), dead (around 2.5% for the strain common here in Sweden, far higher for the strain endemic in Russia), cognitively impaired and more. I got it in 2005 (which made me the "index patient" for this part of the country, it had not been seen before in this area) and it was... unpleasant. Now that I had the disease I am immune for life. My wife and children got vaccinated to avoid my fate. The vaccination consists of three initial doses followed by a new dose every 3d to 5th year, depending on age (the older, the more frequent).

The current crop of SARS2 vaccines comes of far worse than the TBE vaccine with immunity waning in a period counted in weeks, not years [1,2,3]. Natural immunity is "from 6 to 27 times stronger" depending on which researcher you listen to. Here's part of the abstract of the largest study (~700.000 test subjects) on these matters:

SARS-CoV-2-naïve vaccinees had a 13.06-fold (95% CI, 8.08 to 21.11) increased risk for breakthrough infection with the Delta variant compared to those previously infected, when the first event (infection or vaccination) occurred during January and February of 2021. The increased risk was significant (P<0.001) for symptomatic disease as well. When allowing the infection to occur at any time before vaccination (from March 2020 to February 2021), evidence of waning natural immunity was demonstrated, though SARS-CoV-2 naïve vaccinees had a 5.96-fold (95% CI, 4.85 to 7.33) increased risk for breakthrough infection and a 7.13-fold (95% CI, 5.51 to 9.21) increased risk for symptomatic disease. SARS-CoV-2-naïve vaccinees were also at a greater risk for COVID-19-related-hospitalizations compared to those that were previously infected.

I think, something which is missed, is what I'd call the "mediametic horizon". In the "old days", people weren't just "doing their thing", there was more to it. Even, if you entertained just a small site, you were somewhat playing big media (compare the vintage radio allusions or the ubiquitous news signations that popped up about 1997.) Small websites were pulling for reach, dreaming of a mention on "What's cool" lists. (Besides other functions, HN may be the last true what's-cool list today.) Even those building professional sites were driven by this "mediametic horizon": you wouldn't build the same website twice, not even the same concept. Adding to and enriching what was the known standard, the known functionality, the known capabilities of the Web was the raison d'être of any new site. Becoming known and mentioned for such a feat was a major incentive, both for the designer-developers and for the clients (again, for reach and prestige). The truth being, the "old web" essentially required and depended on brokers of reach and prestige to develop this drive, and I do not see any candidates for fulfilling this function. (Apart from HN, that is.)

P.S./Edit: This was still true for the early 2000s: back then, I was involved in a major relaunch of the site of a telephone carrier and the clients were scanning relevant Usenet groups for critiques in order to evaluate their success. (Surely, this wasn't the norm, but it still did happen.)
LOL If anything, a more barebones internet scales better. The less data you're sending, the more connections you can handle simultaneously, and the less code you'll need. When communication is more decentralized, there's not much of a need for most sites to need to think that much about scaling. We don't need the next Facebook or the next Reddit. I'd love to go back to more independent forums. Maybe with something better than vBulletin, at least.
That doesn't follow. If anything, I would expect knowing, for practical reasons, you have to learn something you think is dumb would make you even more angry about it, not less... or, maybe, you just believe something being either popular or common means it must be good? :(
Got it.

> Our world is largely supply and marketing driven

Great way to put it. I've felt this way for awhile.

Advertising, for example, is low-hanging fruit in the world of useless things, but it's so embedded in US culture that efforts to displace it are stopped at the door.

I'm currious how there is a need to go digital.
It doesnt seem like it solves anything and introduces more potential for problems.

The only benefit I can see is; It should be easier to take an online test if you've been studying using online materials/substitutes.

It's interesting that you're minimizing the gross lack of integrity as simply corner cutting - there isn't a single valid reason for that. Anything counter-mainstream narrative is suppressed, so that is part of the problem to your "if this issue were more widely understood" - the scientific process, conversation, has been highly suppressed over these last 2 years.

A major British medical journal just demanded that the raw trial data be released - but will it even be untampered with - like the Maddie De Garay situation insinuates happens widespread since there were no, and still no, government health agencies who have sounded an alarm - or caught it and put a hold on the vaccine release for different age groups until uncompromised trials were completed?

The system capture here is so obvious it's blinding.
> I don't recall anybody in my group ever calling it the Internet until after the WWW came along.

Really? I do. I spent the early years of the web trying to get all the new people who had suddenly joined the net to understand that the web and the internet were two very different things. I gave up after a while.
My rent went up $300 a month...is that supply-side driven?
Hmm, I don’t know about that. When I made a quarter of what I do now, I worked at companies that would happily let me spend two weeks on a task without expecting much in that time.

The frustrating thing is that we know how to write absolutely secure browsers (or other executors/renderers/etc. of untrusted data) using formal methods. Unfortunately, because most of the negative externality falls on users who don't know any better, the economics don't really work out.
Which dialect? As far as I can see, neither Pharo nor Squeak are a standalone executable, and neither deploy standalone executables.
"We discovered a Local Privilege Escalation (from any user to root) in polkit`s pkexec, a SUID-root program that is installed by default on every major Linux distribution:"

I use Linux but do not use a graphics system (X11, Wayland, etc.). When I install, I always start by downloading a rootfs or a bootable image containing a rootfs.

For example, if installing Debian, I might start by downloading boot.img.gz

https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/bullseye/main/installer-...

However I do not see pkexec "installed by default" in initrd or initrdg.

gzip -d boot.img.gz
mount -o loop boot.img /mnt/img
gzip -d /mnt/img/initrd.gz
cpio -t < /mnt/img/initrd|grep pkexec
gzip -dc /mnt/img/initrdg.gz|cpio -t|grep pkexec

It appears that to install pkexec I would have to choose it at a later stage.

I guess the authors are referring to some other installation method. Perhaps one that denies the user the chance to skip installing a graphics system.

> They are so old, buddy, actually. Splitting monolith into services(not always been micro) is a natural evolution for any software.

"Microservice" isn't really about that, it's a marketing paradigm that is here to serve the (paid) tools, not really the architecture, it is EXACTLY like "serverless", it's not an architecture, it's a really about promoting paid platforms.

The parent is 100% right about their point about marketing buzzwords, because that's really all what it is all about.
Star Trek TNG is very clearly post-scarcity. It fits the definition completely, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-scarcity_economy

---

Post-scarcity is a theoretical economic situation in which most goods can be produced in great abundance with minimal human labor needed, so that they become available to all very cheaply or even freely

---

Post-scarcity does not require all goods/services to be infinitely abundant.
Bridges have complicated shapes, are often huge, and would need a rather crazy number of cameras + laser to get full coverage. This might be one of the few times a drone with a camera is actually a reasonable solution. Doing a full inspection every 2-6 months would normally be fast enough so it could wait for good weather.
You should still use an L-shaped tension wrench so you don't just tear the plastic and then have to fish that out.

Most front door locks take too much torque for this process as shown, but it will hold the pins in their correct locations while you use something stronger to physically turn the tumbler.
I think at that point most people would consider it a very different kind of service.

You don't need the Internet or AI to collate pictures and the data on them into a database.
or even worse: the teams DO have full control over their stack and now you have dozens or more different technology stacks at the company and expertise isn't shared between them
Eh. Properly segmented monoliths are just fine. And are probably much simpler to deploy.
I'm the opposite. I was continually perplexed by trivial stuff that TypeScript just couldn't figure put. Maybe that has changed in the last year but I doubt it.
