Same. Seems like the exploit wouldn't work for me. When I modify the XAUTHORITY line in the code, either to remove it or point it to my current XAUTHORITY value, I rightfully get a GUI password prompt before the root shell will open.

The Sienna, which is a minivan, can tow 3500 lbs and carry 8 people

And the Sienna has 50% more cargo capacity than a Ford Expedition unless you take out all the seats, then they have about the same cargo capacity.

https://www.truedelta.com/Toyota-Sienna-vs-Ford-Expedition-s...

The Sienna is available in AWD, and has a hybrid drivetrain.

It's biggest disadvantage over an SUV is ground clearance and towing capacity. As you said, the Sienna can tow 3500 lbs, but the Expedition can tow 6000-9000 lbs depending on drivetrain. Well, I take that back, the biggest disadvantage of a minivan compared to an SUV is that the minivan is a minivan.

If "most of Utah" is on your shithole list, then I question your honesty on having visited.
Do you have a source for this? This is relevant to my work, but I don't know much about the implementation details of MySQL.
My approach is to learn from a variety of sources. For that reason, I'd say take a look and give them a try. I've taken a few MS courses and have learned things I didn't pick up anywhere else - they also have Azure sandboxes so you don't have to burn any of your own CPU. I haven't taken any Google courses yet, but intend to. IIRC, they've hired people who have successfully passed their courses. I also recall that there are AWS courses and I'm interested in those too. They're all free and you're free to bail (I have) on any course that isn't meeting your needs. Of course, some material might feel like marketing, but I filter that out and concentrate on what is going to move me forward.

> The subjective assessment of the "value of the trade" is then a function of the subject's alternatives, which is usually how much someone else will pay or accept from them.

I agree that it is a function of the alternatives, but the operative alternative here is not trading. The best way to assess value is that which you lose by taking something away, like taking a player out of a team or a customer out of your book of business
Can't help but fixate on a worse case scenario where our own immune systems are attacking our hearts, spurned by ACE2 autoimmunity antibodies induced by the mRNA vaccines. Inevitably millions experience hearts failure due to the same reason donated organ recipients hearts fail after about a decade, our bodies reject them as foreign.

Maybe someone better informed can explain why this isn't even remotely possible? I think antibodies have half lives, but some autoimmune disorders are persistent (arthritis, lupus, MS, etc).
Flying car cleared for takeoff, but you'll need a pilot's license
I mean, I'm coming at this from the perspective of a freelance journalist where sometimes the best rate I can get for a story that took three months to research is $250. Not talking just interviews and finding expert sourcing, but deeply involved work with code, data analysis, data cleanup, etc etc etc, often that nobody else is doing. So, that's pretty fucking good in my book, man.
Side-comment that doesn't apply in this case, but worth mentioning: "regardless of who they are" seems like a shitty blanket principle to have. For example, hospitals are overstuffed with COVID patients means regular patients die as a result. In many cases, "The overwhelming majority of the patients had COVID-19, and 98% of those needing acute critical care were unvaccinated." This means people who choose to not take the vaccine are causing others to die. So the unvaccinated should be thrown out when a patient in need comes and no beds are available.

We deny people waiting for organ transplants medical treatment regularly. there simply aren't enough organs to go around. In the case that people are already having life saving organs withheld from them, it makes sense to prioritize.

I think people have the ethical issue in this case backwards: the reason this guy got this transplant is because it was an experiment. We effectively used an ex-con as a guinea pig. (Personally, I'm fine with that, he was fully aware and consented, it was his only chance.)

If this guy had died due to the experimental heart failing, we'd probably be seeing a bunch of op-eds about our moral failure to prevent exploitation of a vulnerable (ex-)prison population.
> Marketing teams know that as well, and they exploit that as much as they can.

They exploit this mercilessly, just as hard as they exploit our curiosity and desire for novelty as engineers.

To the GP, your company's marketing/sales team may not drive internal technical decisions, but I can promise you that other companies' sales teams do. Why do you think they so persistently step on the heads up their first POC so they can be put in touch with C-levels or department heads?

How much did Nature Neuroscience pay to produce these articles? Do they pay their editors? Their reviewers? The authors?

Do they pay their typesetters?

Do they offer their print journal for free?

Do they have expensive contracts for cloud hosting?

Is the expected lifetime value of any article, let alone every article, anywhere close to $11,390?

Most journals already allow authors to distribute copies by request. This is nuts.

While apartments have gotten smaller over the past decade (and I can't find anything on apartment sizes in decades past), only about 20% of Americans live in apartments, and houses are way bigger than they used to be.

> In 1950, the year Time magazine estimated that Levitt and Sons built one out of every eight houses in the United States, the average size of a newly built single-family home was 983 square feet — slightly smaller than a decade prior, when it was 1,177 square feet.

That's tiny!

Now you're huddling in a condo or apartment that's 1bd or two, if you have kids. So we romanticize having less because its easier than challenging the system.

This is unambiguously wrong. Average living space per person has roughly doubled in the last 40 years:

That’s true if building enough housing to meet demand continues to be illegal.
The next logical step is to breed pigs with organs that especially suit humans, maybe with some genetic engineering to optimise them. I really can't see anyone needing an organ complaining that they're GMO.

As long as we treat animals well while they're alive (and why wouldn't you, you want high quality low stress organs) then there's really no limit here, morally.

Securing the test papers has a cost. Distributing the test papers has a cost. Having the exam only a small number of times a year has a cost (spiky resource usage which is idle the rest of the year).

There could be some benefits to students--better accessibility for disabilities as well as taking the test at arbitrary times and getting scores immediately spring to mind.

There just won't be because those would require money to develop.

$1.9 per day is extreme poverty, but there are other kinds of poverty as well. I think the article linked in your citation explains it nicely:

https://ourworldindata.org/poverty-at-higher-poverty-lines

> But that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t care about what is happening relative to higher poverty lines. The evidence shows that there is a clear and continuous relationship between material deprivation and subjective well-being, so it would be wrong to celebrate shifting daily incomes from $1.89 to $1.91, even if this shift technically means abruptly reducing extreme poverty. People living on $3, $5, or $10 per day also face substantial hardships, and are still living in poverty.

Taking into account these other bands of poverty, you can see the absolute number of people in the lowest bands of poverty has increased from 3.3 billion in 1981 to 4.66 billion in 2017.
First -- Thanks! But second, how do you have the right to that ? Doesn't the institution you work for or the paper's co-authors restrict distribution so to maximize the royalties and recoup research costs ?
Reasoning:

“Post any transplant, kidney, heart whatever, your immune system is shut off,” Caplan said. “The flu could kill you, a cold could kill you, COVID could kill you. The organs are scarce, we are not going to distribute them to someone who has a poor chance of living when others who are vaccinated have a better chance post-surgery of surviving.”
> concatenation is a natural product, not a sum

Huh? Why?
if there's one thing peta knows inside and out it's being a tremendous waste of resources
In the vaccination example: it is based on triage. Which is based on predicted outcome and resources available.

If you have one hospital bed and two COVID patients that are looking like they will die if they don’t get admitted you treat the one with the greater chance of survival. Being vaccinated is predictive of a higher survival rate…

Entirely dependent on location. In France those screens were used by people ( same as "automatic" checkout kiosques at supermarkets), but now post pandemic they're sometimes the only option to order, the register being only for paying with cash what you've ordered at the screens, and picking up your order. It makes sense in the pandemic world ( screens can be more spread out and more numerous that registers), and in general. It doesn't seem to me that has resulted in less employees though, from the looks of it there's roughly the same number of people as before, but now instead of accepting orders and doing payments they only focus on collecting prepared food and putting it in bags/plates/etc.

It's faster and more efficient ( mostly space-wise), for the restaurant and for customers.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you're living in the US, where I've heard there are some very weird ( for me) things expected from the service industry ( e.g. constant attention from a waiter in a restaurant, that the grocery store clerk will put your stuff in bags for you ( unless you're handicapped, what?!)), and that's probably what's driving a part of the reluctance you're seeing. Many people feel entitled to human service, above and beyond, and they feel that such jobs are beneath them ( "burger flipping"), hence their reluctance to do it themselves.
Yeah, IIRC the Ilwrath is helpless against the Shofixti because the Shofixti is agile and has a longer-range weapon. You can shield from the Shofixti bullets a little bit with flames but basically unless the Shofixti player screws up really badly the Ilwrath has no hope. Usually the Chenjesu also utterly cremates the Ilwrath before the Ilwrath can get close.
Just increase the number of co-authors and split the cost ;-)
I don't understand what people are arguing, he didn't even get a real heart that could've potentially gone to "a more deserving person". He literally got something that no one else would've gotten. The only reason they agreed to do this experiment on him is because he was about to die and he agreed to be part of an extremely risky surgery that he very likely would've never wake up from.

I could see him being all over the press being annoying for the victim's family, but I don't see this as him being rewarded with anything. What he got is one of the worst option, though the fact that he's survived this far makes it better in hindsight. Then again 2 weeks means nothing, let's see if it actually lasts.
The article says "Our aim is to ensure that lack of funds is never a barrier to publishing with us." As in they will provide funding if someone can't afford it.

Isn't this a really good thing? What is the average budget for an research project that ends up with an article published in this journal?

Clinical trials are in the millions, and research grants are often 6 figures.

I know people see this as rent seeking, but journals DO provide a service which costs money. The issue is before they prevented freedom of information. With this model, they are not.
> creates enormous inequality

i dont know why everyone keeps getting away with statement like this.

the proposition of equality as a meaningful metric is absurd at every level of examination. no one is equal to anyone else except on the most trivial and simplistic terms about anything.

do you feel inferior to rich people? do you feel superior to poor people? what hogwash. i reject this axiom that inequality is bad.

people don't hate inequality - they hate unfairness. they hate having their house repossesed because they took a loan they couldnt afford while the banks get a taxpayer bailout for making financial decisions THEY couldn't afford. people don't hate gates, jobs, buffet, or bezos; they love and idolize them. but if the system that purports to give commoners a path to wealth like those people instead shackles them with 200k in debt you have to fucking die to get rid of... things start feeling a little rebellious.

the problem doesnt have anything to do with equality. there is a loss of control, of autonomy. no chance of growth or the ability to change your circumstances.
So there's a shortage of human organs in general (especially heart and lungs), which means we need to get them from somewhere.

Using complex routes to secure organ donations isn't a great option, because the viability of organs decrease as time goes on, so there is an effective limit on how far they can travel. It also doesn't help people who are currently ineligible for organ transplants, because their current scarcity means that only prime candidates can get them (otherwise it would be wasteful).

We could change the organ donation system from opt-in to opt-out, but I get the impression that wouldn't be as ethical from a vegan point of view. That also doesn't help the afformentioned distance problems.

Lab grown organs could be a great solution that would actually be better than animal organs, but they're not a viable option yet.

Basically, if we had good options other than xenotransplantation, I would probably agree that it's unethical to use their organs. However, we don't have better options right now (especially ones that can scale to treat everyone that needs an organ), so in my opinion, xenotransplants are better than nothing.

(Also as a side note, a pig that died from natural causes wouldn't be viable for organ transplantation. The pig needs to be physiologically alive for the organs to be viable, and it needs to be genetically modified to not have animal proteins that the immune system can detect).

You seem to have misunderstood. The authors don't get paid anything for publishing. Nature typically puts papers behind a paywall. Nature will make a paper available for free if the authors pay Nature ~11k.
Inflation is defined based on utility, not a certain level of society. The second would be something like GDP growth, much higher than inflation, and definitionally a zero-sum game.

Inflation says that you would rather prefer to live it today's society at say $60,000/year (with smart phones, cars, Internet TV), than yesterday's society at say $50,000/year (with two maids, but none of the technology). Introspecting, I would say the above decision is true for me.
I have sincerely not idea. I skipped over any https talks because it was not fun to look at and assumed folks would have a dependency. There is a list of client/server in a bunch of mainstream languages, did those people had to implement TLS? That sounds like work.
I said "products". Service industries with razor-thin margins like restaurants are more affected by labor costs, sure.
Believe it or not, in some jurisdictions you can have a ccdw license and are fine to carry concealed, but it is illegal to carry said weapon openly.

Nah. I’ve written compilers in much less friendly languages than go.
I'm not arguing against your point at all. I'm just pointing at the fact that there are many who are happy to wait a year, buy a 10-20% faster CPU and call it a day, or buy more/larger instances on the cloud, or do anything but optimize the software they use. Some couldn't even if they wanted, because they buy software rather than develop in-house, and aren't effective in requiring faster performance from their vendors.
Haha no worries. I think there are more cases outside (what ordinary folks would call) "math", where infix operators make sense; they're just not as common or obvious. Like one example is when you want to build expression trees; you're not actually doing math there, but merely creating a representation of the very expressions you're writing. Another one is &, |, ^, ~ for enum flags (which you can define bitwise so it's "math" in that sense, but which you might want more domain-specific logic for). Another one is overloading <, =, > for arbitrary objects. And so on.

I think the real rule is "it should be intuitive rather than confusing". :-)

If you've paid 30% effective federal tax rate (which is what I am guessing about right for a single individual with this kind of income) you'd have to make about 450K per year over 15 years to get to 2M in taxes. If you counted CA taxes then it drops your average income to 330K. My guess is that you are either miscalculating your taxes or misdescribing your experiences (overpriced housing in LA circa 2001 while making 330-450K for example does not quite make sense).

Because monoids, abstract algebra, etc.

More simply, "addition" is generally defined as a commutative operation, which this isn't. When people want a non-commutative operation, they call it "multiplication".

For a more superficial but tangible reason, if you just consider the notation, AB is the concatenation of A and B, which is the notation for a product in math. (Recall putting "A" "B" next to each other in Python literally means concatenation, and it's a product in math.)

These programs came bundled, I don't use them and disabled what I could from any GUIs. It is always them causing problems, hardly ever the ones I want and use.
The natural language is evolved by people saying what they what and the majority became the language. Not defined by some elites or some authority.

Classes binds data and functions together, and object systems supports inheritance. These are some of the things that some people don't really like, but you may not care. People sometimes care about syntax as well, writing "Class" is also part of the experience of using the language.

We have different words in the language for a purpose, that's my opinion.
I’m also intrigued. I’ve seen this happen several times but always de facto: someone would become a manager as an experiment, try it for a few years, and then (usually) decide to stop.
This is indeed a clever and nice trick.
