I share an interest in this topic, and have come up with a partial set of coping strategies.

- I open the popup for the 'SEOInfo' firefox plugin which displays metadata from the page (JSON-LD, microdata, and a catch-all "other meta" field often show created/modified timestamps for the current page)

- A page may give a date but if the page has a whiff of marketing vibe about it and that date is very recent and not in the url I am immediately suspicious of the date it gives.

- I click over to archive sites (Internet Archive/wayback machine, archive.today). I'll often bookmark a good early capture from one of these next to the actual page for the sole reason that the capture has some semblance of a date, even if it's not close to the actual published date. I want that simply because I like to order links by date and so I need some date to use for that.

- Academic papers are especially frustrating here. Some have a date prominently in the pdf but most don't. This is apparently an artifact of a process whereby papers often simply don't have a definitive date. The authors worked on it over the course of a year or more, so many differing versions are floating around. For these I google the title and can often get an arxiv preprint page with a submission date, or journal publications with a submission date (though these often only give a month or a year).

- There is a lot of good stuff on a stackoverflow page but what's the "date" of that page? A question could have been asked a decade ago and have answers running from that day to today. I really like the wayback machine for these. I can start with an early version of the page and click forward through time, bookmarking when I stop. Then if I pick it up again later, I can resume from the bookmark and continue forward through time from there.

- Quora pages are especially frustrating because they won't give the date the question was asked; just the answers. And you can't do the wayback machine thing I described above for stackoverflow because Quora has blocked internet archive. For these reasons I dread trying to do anything with quora pages.

What I'd really wish for is some way browsers can get create/modify dates for any page, so the user doesn't need to hunt for it and plugins can do stuff with it. For example I'd love a plugin that could order the tabs in a window by, say, modification date. The workflow I have in mind is: open search results into tabs. Make the browser order the tabs by date for you without manual labor. Then you can read through your search results in chronological order. Save the set. Restore it a week or a year later. Click "reorder" again to account for pages that have received updates. Now your tabs are in chronological order again. I would gladly pay for this capability!
The clips that let you fasten it to the collar of your shirt are life changing. Completely elimates the weight of the rest of the cord from your ears and any weirdness when you move your head. I wish more headphones and IEMs came with one in the box.

totally - and unironically. there is a lot to explore within the space of using zk proofs to mitigate sybil attacks, vote buying and botting in terms of governance tokens, NFT auctions and the like.

also the benefit of decentralization and true verifiability which this demo does not offer.

Culturally the UK is definitely a European nation. I'm talking about the country as a whole, not about the (London) City which - like other financial centres - is part of the global financial nation no matter where it happens to be located. Politically the UK used to have a special connection to the USA (which made other Europeans sometimes refer to it as "Airstrip 1" or "the 51st state") but it is debatable whether this is still the case.
But it started with Young saying, "Rogan goes or I go." That landed on deaf ears. So Young "decided" to leave.
Sorry, you're right, and in that sense we're on the same side: I shouldn't have written "false equivalence." I meant to point out that your objection of "well, seatbelts don't require you to inject chemicals into your body, so there's a huge difference" is irrelevant precisely because there is a huge difference between the bad outcome that seatbelts prevent the bad outcome that vaccines prevent.
Sounds like you've read anything that article says without thinking about it.

1. What kind of "lottery ticket" are you referring to? Lottery ticket, by definition requires random element. Does Roblox provide any such mechanics? No. A platform that you can buy and sell is hardly considered "lottery ticket" platform.

2. The forum is closed because of the toxicity of the posts, not because of the development environment. For development communication, they could use Guilded which is owned by Roblox, it's not like there is no legit alternative. If people choose to communicate out of the platform, how do you suppose Roblox to take any actions? They can't even verify if the provided evidence is true or not. Should Google ban a user's gmail account if that user did sexual harassment in their own company?
Its called virtue signaling.
This is just one reason for doubting the accuracy of the reported number of COVID-related deaths. Fauci, Chicago's Department of Public Health, and others have admitted that they've counted deaths as COVID deaths if the person tested positive for COVID while in the hospital. Dying from COVID and dying with COVID are two different things, but both have been lumped together in the CDC's death tally.

Some doctors are reporting adverse/fatal effects associated with the use of Remdesivir (which hospitals are using to treat COVID patients). These issues include acute kidney injury, bradycardia, and death. The CDC has counted these deaths as COVID deaths as well.

There are also other aspects of COVID that seem difficult to suss out. For example, how many people have died from the vaccines? VAERS is reporting 22,193 vaccine-related deaths and over 1 million adverse reactions. There are also deaths and suicides caused by our response to COVID; e.g., the lockdowns, depression, job loss, fear of going to the doctor/hospital due to COVID, etc. Those aren't being counted as COVID-related deaths by the CDC, but perhaps they should be.

Even if you removed all the politicization/propaganda of both COVID and the vaccines, it still seems like we've made a lot of mistakes during the past two years that would make producing an accurate death count virtually impossible.
I'm not sure, but since we've already crossed the Rubicon of denying free association and ability to conduct business on the basis of arbitrary medical status, there's no longer any reason we can't deny the right to purchase calories to those who have clearly consumed too many of them.

BMI mandates and passports to grocery stores and restaurants: yes it's evil, but we've already decided that this particular abrogation of rights is a moral good. So, fuck it. Starve the fatties. The precedent is set, we can do whatever we want if we scream "public health" loudly enough.
Can I buy a lot of 20 of them? All in the same model and in the same rough shape?
Our parliament was closed for most of the pandemic, so 1) opposition wasn't possible, and 2) our Charter of Rights is being violated - due process isn't being followed.

Jordan Peterson just released an interview with a now retired First Minister who is last living politician who helped craft our Charter of Rights in 1981/1982, where they go into detail about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdhFuMDLBDM - they include the initial and post interview "behind the scenes" as part of transparency - so there's background noise initially while they're getting setup.

An elected government going through a process wrongly and putting it forward as truth, as legal, would be an illegal law.

Indeed, that would be a wild way to live - which is why we generally blindly trust our government, which is a huge problem - but when it's as important and critical as moments like this, people start standing up and protesting.

There's also the https://FreeNorthDeclaration.ca with 500+ Canadian lawyers who have signed - their petition and hope is to educate Canadians that laws are being broken and that due process isn't being followed.

> The idea of "freedom" and inalienable rights are also utopian fairy tales.

No, they are normative ideals, not fantastical models of how interactions do, or even could, work. Entirely different class of things, even if you disagree with them.

(It's true that people build utopian fairy tales out of them, such as the idea that a society observing certain complexes of multiple and conflicting rights without any tradeoff between them can exist. But the ideas of the rights themselves aren't the utopian fairy tales, they are just a value function.)
> Not happening in the short term.

Why not? It's an emergency. It's completely possible to fix this short term in a way that lets us move on without all these socially toxic and corrosive restrictions. Probably would cost an order of magnitude less, even.
Stop asking questions, stop having concerns and compassion for my fellow humans, stop conversation as part of scientific process? Who's more likely the person who should stop their behaviour - you or me?

Alright, so that's one article - and across Canada - now what about specific demographics? What about the 2nd year of the pandemic?

Specific demographics matter because, for example, risk of myocarditis for young boys is something between 1:2000 and 1:3800 but spread across the population it's supposedly something closer to 1:100,000 - so hopefully you get why that's an important factor, right? You understand that insights can easily be hidden (whether maliciously/purposefully or not) by generalized macro numbers? Likewise, what demographics was there a decrease in — and what demographics may there have been an increase in? I hope you understand math enough to understand that a 300% increase in one demographic may be completely washed out by a 80% decrease from another larger demographic? But you’re satisfied with a “32% reduction in suicides” as the final answer - why is that? Did you just not think it through enough, or what gives?

Do you think anyone critically thinking through this, following scientific methods and statistics, is perhaps a [pejorative] “anti-vaxxer” - and so you automatically and lazily categorize them as such — and they’re soooo irritating because they counter the simplified mainstream narrative being perpetuated that you reach the impetus of saying “just stop” to someone looking for the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth [so help you God; if you’re into that God concept]? Why I ask is that it’s crucial we figure out why people are so easily indoctrinated into ideology, as part of finding the solution to this intellectual-ideological crisis we’re currently in - which certainly ties into the general health crisis that we’re in [including obesity as a signal].

Or wait - I should listen to you and stop asking these pesky nuanced questions because?

You can even run 4-layer impedance controlled boards that support BGAs for ~$60 and get 10 of them. Problem is I now have a bunch of unpopulated PCBs I don't really intend to use. I made a few PCIe x1 to SMA adapters for an FPGA devkit - even building a single one and considering the rest of the PCBs as write-offs was less than a quarter the price of premade ones.
This website has helped me out a lot with understanding the ideas that math represents: https://betterexplained.com/
I think claiming "censorship" is often either an attempt by those in positions of influence to get attention by playing victim (see many super popular voices in Twitter and Facebook like Jordan Peterson) or bigots claw back a position on a platform when the site didn't wish to spread their vitriol

sure it happens, but I think the spotlight is often in the wrong corner
Why limit it to citizens?
> During this process, scientists will use a Sun-like star named HD84406 to focus the mirrors

Here is a 1 degree wide view of the neighborhood around HD84406 rendered from Gaia EDR3 data:

https://bsrender.io/sample_renderings/hd84406-1deg-m18-ax100...

Not too many other stars around, and none that are brighter than it within almost a half degree radius. If I zoomed in to the 0.0367 degree FOV of Webb's NirCam instrument, we would only see one other very faint ~21 mag star. However, Webb (and Hubble) can see much fainter stars than Gaia.
I think that sometimes easier to guess result than to use math to actually calculate it.
That honestly doesn't sound like very much to take 0.25%. Maybe if you're starting out and have $10k to invest, but once you're in the mid six figures or more, the 0.25% adds up.

If you buy and hold, it doesn't take much work and expenses for Vanguard ETFs are ~0.10%. Also, once you move to Wealthfront, it's hard to ever leave because of how they break things up (which, I'm sure, isn't unintentional).
At this point I'd almost rather see mozilla abandon firefox and build a version of chromium that's better for the user than google's chrome could ever be.
Coding... what? Coding on other retro technologies? I guess if you enjoy working on system software sure, but if I can't even allocate enough memory to hold a large-ish JSON payload in memory, then I'm not going to be able to do much with the system. Only protocols like SMTP or NNTP are built around the ability to parse with minimal overhead (and even they can have large line lengths.)
This was obvious in the time when people that had the most rationale argument typically made decisions on how things should be. Now we live in a time where people who make the most money make the decisions on how things should be.
That (a feature name) is what I'm talking about. Thanks a lot.

I guess another I noticed was PIV/Smartcard which seems to be kind of long in the tooth and not available on some newer hardware keys. I'm not sure if that's for security reasons and I start to wonder if multi-protocol hardware is more open to a wider array of attacks. But thanks again.
How much of a loss can Young leaving be? Nothing against ol' Neil but his relevance is long gone. He's a great artist. He has a right to his opinion. But in terms of "cultural juice" he's heading in to sunset.
Thank you! And yes soma fm is so great, I listen to it almost all day, I contributed once buying from their store.

Nice. That's the reason for my today's choice.
> If we're to treat this like an emergency, why aren't we treating it like an emergency?

Because in truth it probably never was. We assembled fully staffed field hospitals that went completely unused.
It is unfortunate. It's required: https://github.com/cabforum/servercert/blob/main/docs/BR.md#...
> So every government, the world over, even those at war with each other, all decided

Yes, it's quite a possibility. Please read into the growing concentration of world power via corporations and un-elected organization like the WEF and WHO. Further, please read into puplic-private partnerships.

Our world is a global one these days and nearly every government is corrupted by a form of corporatism.
I'd want to spend more time than I have at the moment to do the book justice. From memory, and again, without taking enough time, the objections are something like...

"Climate change is relatively unimportant" - Only to existential risks. The likelihood of humanity becoming extinct from climate change is low and it will happen slowly enough that we could probably react to it.

"Not able to predict what Coke will do in the future" - True, we can't predict what humanity will be doing in the future, but we can say that either humanity will exist or it won't. If it does exist then that is what we are concerned with. If it doesn't exist then the bad part of existential risk has already been realized.

"Discounting future value of human lives" - You can play with numbers in your DCF formula and find highly unintuitive things like it would be better to kill a billion people a billion years in the future than a million people a million years in the future. That doesn't really seem right. It's also true that the future value of humans isn't "ours" exactly in the way that the future earnings of a company might be, we aren't trying to maximize "our" value, but rather value generally - so I'm not sure discounting formulas like this are relevant.
The Boston Common is such a platform.
Wouldn't this have been during Japanese occupation of China, then? Probably enabled good relations with German universities.

It's not really that hard. I set up several systems to do this for the previous total solar eclipse. The ephemerides for the moon are easy to download and calculate the position in the sky (IE, altitude and azimuth at time t) with a python script.

I believe also the launch vehicle has a launch window (the moon moves 15 degrees per hour) and launch trajectory. I'm lazy so I'd compute the extends of the launch vehicle's motion in the sky (from earliest possible launch to latest possible launch), and then intersect that geometry with the moon position geometry without explictly trying to solve the equations simultaneously. That should back-project to shapes on the ground at which point you could reasonably expect to be able to get a good shot, and then you'd do some adjustment in your pointing in real time.

A smart college senior could do it directly (IE, not lazily compute a bunch of points and manually intersect them on a screen).
I agree with you that math is pretty much useless in most people's lives. However I disagree that teaching it to everyone is useless. The whole point of making kids learn a whole bunch of different things is that it gives them a chance to figure out if they are, in fact, interested. If you don't provide lots of different topics of learning to children in school, where are they going to find out that one of those topics might be just the thing that fascinates them? Most parents aren't going to expose their kids to every topic under the sun. I think it's great that schools expose kids to math, physics, chemistry, biology, languages, music, physical education, social studies, history, geography, cooking, sewing, painting, carpentry, religion, you name it. I hated doing at least half of those things when I was in school, but I still appreciate in retrospect that I did it, because now I know much better what I like and don't like.
So you're in NZ now?
I would assume that the count includes the huge amount of people who sell cheap, unbranded Chinese products under a random all-caps name. So, not that surprising.
I don't trust big pharma but it's not true they got a rubber stamp. Most vaccine projects were called off because they wouldn't get approved or rejected.
Had someone attempt to spearphish me today actually. They're definitely getting more sophisticated...trying to deduce organizational structure from linkedin or similar & impersonating more senior people based on that to add pressure (hi this is boss. this needs to get paid asap). Not particularly effective though given all the controls in place around payments.

Why is it hard to imagine that he didn’t do this for financial reasons at all? I doubt the increased media coverage will actually make him much money.
Ha ha, right? "Hey, don't worry, just think how many other worse issues are not being addressed. Now don't you feel better?"
Corollary 2 reminds me a bit of software like djbdns and qmail which was relatively simple and worked incredibly well for it's time.

I managed a number of production systems with both and it always worked beautifully.

That said, licensing confusion always made it difficult for anyone to repackage and distribute it (until 2007) and djb was not known for being easy to work with. So that probably also hurt adoption.
It's good advice. I got a solo key but found it difficult getting into a useful state for my needs. Might try a Yubi instead. Cheers.
3.5mm is not anywhere near as standardized as Bluetooth.

- no standard way to have a microphone

- balanced vs unbalanced cables are electrically different (and can damage the headphone)

- high and low impedance headphones are also electrically different (affecting sound quality and volume)

- phone can't implement safe hearing limit laws or any of the hearing health features because it doesn't know how loud the headphones are

Plus there's cable microphonics and the ports on both sides can wear out.
I'd suggest the youtube channel 3Blue1Brown - the teacher that runs the channel likes to pull problems into physical space and applications often.
Look for companies on the smaller to mid size businesses that do IT services consulting. Companies and the expectations of sales on the product side are much different from what I have seen (or enjoy).
It's recently clicked for me that our economies and civilization may in fact rely on a vast majority of people without basic quantitative reasoning skills.

If I were teaching a middle school kids math today, I'd start by teaching them poker and blackjack with card counting to practice doing fast calculations and then learn risk and probabilities. Then maybe create a stock picking group so they can learn to read charts and calculate simple functions with concepts like averages and moving averages, medians, and then some bayesian statistics, time value of money, interest and compounding on debt with logarithms. An example of a person with two maxed credit cards with different interest rates and a fixed income shows equilibria and how predatory those products are. I might also use a eurorack synthesizer rig with an oscilloscope to demonstrate functions and wave forms, integration, modular arithmetic and combinatorics in musical scales, harmonics, musical transposition as an example of conservation laws, ohms laws and electronics, and pulsed information (binary). Catapults vs. trebuchets and siting a rifle scope for simple ballistics and physics. Bicycle or engine repair to show differential gearing. Another unit would be some variation of cryptopals, because that's an intro to new currencies, economics, number theory, proofs as "shapes," information theory, and computer science.

The way I learned algebra in high school was like learning to read music without ever hearing it, let alone playing it. Glimpsing the things I don't understand now as an adult, I can't help but think it was by design.

I'm from Russia and late to the party. Funny that nobody doubts that it is Russia's engdame (you could have showed at least some critical judgement). I don't really know what the Russia's endgame is. But I think that we don't have many years of MAD left. Rather soon (during my lifetime) Russia's technological gap is going to become huge enough for nuclear weapons stop matter anymore.
