No, because it's part of a defense-in-depth strategy. Sandboxing and isolation is meant to catch what app review misses, without app review people would be attacking those mechanisms directly at a much higher frequency.

The complexity of of static site generator isn't always needed or useful.

If you just want a simple site with a handful of posts a year then manually making .html files with an WYSIWYG editor or just copying old HTML/CSS templates from site likes "alistapart" is a legitimate, simple option. Installing nginx from your system repos is safe and easy too but if you don't want to self host then https://neocities.org/ is decent.

This is a commonly suggested solution that fundamentally misunderstands the problem. Most of these people aren't believing falsehoods because they don't have access to better information. It's because they don't trust the institutions that they believe drive science. Additionally, as these annotations only represent an opinion and are subject to change when they aren't correct they likely cause even greater distrust.

I am a research affiliate with the Galileo Project, and I just want to suggest to anyone who is skeptical about our goals to visit the website (https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/galileo/home) in particular the ground rules and FAQ section to see by what means we are attempting to establish a methodology for rigorously addressing the question of ETC technology within our solar system. This is a question with many directions by which it can be addressed, and because there is little public data available we do not have priors that point to the notion that one direction is “more likely” than other directions. Thus, to be as rigorous as possible we are assessing as many possibilities as we can within budgetary constraints and standard scientific practices.

As for the notion of UFO/UAP flying around, for over 70 years in the United States there have been reports of unidentified aerial phenomenon, with reports of various degrees of quality and provenance. In the 1940s there was a general public acceptance that UFOs represented physical objects, but confidence and reporting towards that idea fell off quickly. I will not get into the nuance of the public discourse on UFOs in America - but it is safe to say that it is one of the more interesting historys of science. In the last 5 years there has been an absolute tidal shift in government and academic interest in this topic, mainly fueled by recent admissions by the department of defense of the reality of UAP confirmed by multiple sensor systems. Within the project, we do not have definitive beliefs about the nature of UAP and instead simply seek to corroborate the data.

The team is a wonderful array of multi-disciplinary scientists from all walks of life and with credentials which are akin to that of any major scientific endeavor. I urge you to investigate why so many people are interested in this question, and to dispel any preconceived notions of what is “possible” within the context of science. Truth is objective, and so is data - only time will tell if this whole thing was simply a misdirection or a dead end, but we should appreciate that it is still possible to ask hard questions about the world we live in today and to receive funding to answer those questions.
Ideally you would re-implement the code to the same spec and compare the outputs. This, too, is a form of replication.

Two images. One from a vehicle systems display on a Tesla, the other an Audi RS.

Tell me in an objective sense how one is "tasteful" and the other "disgusting".

You can certainly have a preference for one over the other, and there are nice aspects to both. But yeah, I'm not seeing it.
There's a social aspect.

For example, take girls who aren't gamers, there's no way to get them to play console games. They see that as the domain of dudes. So there's no chance to take them out on a date where you sit in a room playing games from a console.

But these very same girls love the arcade experience. They are partial to the arcade experience because they get to be out in the open, in their best outfit, consume alcohol and/or food, smoke, socialize and even though they might not enjoy the games themselves, they like the social aspect. It's like going to a club where the crowd is a bit nerdier and not quite the meat market that are dance clubs.

Same with billiards. Not that fun in dad's den. But fun as hell in a pool hall. More social. More vibing.

You don't go to arcades cause it's cheaper. You go cause you want it to be a communal experience.

Even if you're not there to mingle with guys or girls. Maybe you want to show off and beat some game. It's much funner when you got a bunch of people rooting behind you than if you owned the cabinet and just played in dad's den.
> It's really not possible to overstate what an accomplishment this was. To stand up an organization like this outside of the normal departments and to give it the political backing it needed. And the accomplishment of not only getting multiple vaccines ready in record time, but also solving the distribution logistics problems in parallel.

It was indeed quite an accomplishment.

What was unexpected and ironic is what came afterwards, where opponents of the administration quickly got vaccinated in large numbers and supporters of the administration did not. There are some interesting graphs here [1].

Lately Trump was been pretty vocal about telling his supporters to get vaccinated, and even that doesn't seem to be changing many minds.

The gaslighting is so bad:

they: we don't recommend people stick with just the natural immunity because we don't know how fast is wanes.

also they: We do recommend vaccines for everyone, even though their efficacy is 50% after 2 months - because we know exactly what the effect is.

me: But ...but....natural immunity is better all around, even if it's not "known" how much better.

I'm watching the news and opinion pieces and I just don't understand why we're being gaslighted like this, and why people are ok with it.

disclaimer: vaxxed and boosted.
None of this is true. Biden and Harris both said they feared political interference in the approval process and would not trust Trump's assurances. That's evident from your own links. That's entirely justified by his constant lies about almost everything but especially covid. They both explicitly endorsed approvals from the medical experts.

He was never branded as racist over the travel restrictions, but rather over his overt racism. Things like derisively calling it the Wuhan Flu. Trump, in fact, is the one who lied about Biden's criticism.

https://www.cnn.com/factsfirst/politics/factcheck_8df18b2a-2...

And Fauci was clearly expressing surprise at British regulatory process, not casting any doubt on the vaccine efficacy since Fauci had already endorsed the vaccines in question.

Here's a pretty thorough breakdown of the dozens of explicit lies Trump told specifically about covid and covid policy up until election day

> 1. Do you actually give a shit about this big fraud you’ve brought up but not revealed?

To expose it directly here would likely have little effect generally, but would have an outsized effect personally (damaging trust). If it did have an impact it would likely expose those involved (many careers). I am not in the command chain, I have seen the evidence and it's overwhelming. But I'm not in a position to enact the requisite change.

That said, I don't actually give a shit about this particular case. It's widespread, insanely wide spread. Most studies / work cannot be replicated.

> Are you sure? TSMC definitely does packaging. And it seems like it would be crazy to ship a delicate unpackaged die to a different factory when you could just keep it in a clean room and do everything in one place. I think it would be mad for Intel not to do packaging there.

True, the very advanced packaging techniques, such as TSMC CoWoS or Intel EMIB, are done at the fabs by those companies. These packages are for very high performance multi-chip interconnects. In both cases, the "package" itself actually is partially constructed from silicon, so we are kind of blurring the lines between what is "chip" and what is "package". The vast majority of chips do not use packages anywhere near this advanced and are not done at fabs.

Also, it's not crazy to ship finished wafers (i.e. "unpackaged die"); it's standard practice. Once the final process steps are complete in the fab, the chip is not as sensitive to fine particles any more. The wafers get loaded into cassettes then vacuum-sealed in anti-static bags. They ship out to the backend assembly sites just fine. In fact, globally, there are probably ~100,000 wafers shipped like this every day.

> Intel sells lots of CPUs that aren't soldered to PCBs.

True. But if you are buying an LGA socketed Intel CPU, the silicon die had to first be mounted on a substrate and the heatspreader attached. That wasn't done at fab, it was done at backend assembly. Ever notice that Intel CPU's often say something about "assembled in Malaysia" on top? That's because it was assembled in Malaysia. Intel does not have any semiconductor fabs in Malaysia, meaning, they fabbed it in one place and assembled it in another.

If you are a company like Dell or HP and you are buying the laptop BGA CPUs, Intel still had to assemble those into the BGA package before shipping to Dell/HP. And the BGA package assembly also is not done at fab.
I agree that it's certainly overkill for listening sake, and that decent mp3/aac/opus encodes are
generally indistinguishable in quality to a proper "lossless" format.

That said, I still really do like having high bitdepth/sample rate audio available for download.

Storage space is cheap and as physical CDs are getting phased out I don't want to be in a world where the best you can acquire is the minimal viable quality. If space is at a premium lossless audio with overkill quality can be transcoded to a smaller compressed format at 10s to 100s times realtime. Additionally it means should better compression schemes come out in the future you can reap the benefits of them. I had a lot of old CD rips from the early 2000s in 96kbps WMA and that was regrettable.

As a scifi speculation for fun if in the future there were augmentations that improved human's hearing ability or effective brain links which could transmit audio more effectively than our ever deteriorating ears we'd want the best possible audio signal to feed into that.

Puncture resistant tires have really allowed me to be a bit more relaxed about flats. Also, fortunately I don't live in goat head country. Here in Wisconsin, a vital supply for fixing flats while on a ride is mosquito repellent.
another "interesting" thing to consider is that some 700C gravel or cyclocross frames, designed for disc only, can take either 700C wheelsets or 650B. Because you no longer need to consider the vertical distance between the rim and the top of your fork, other than the general width between forks and rear stays for tire clearance.

650B is becoming increasingly popular for gravel.

There are a number of 650B tires that have intentionally higher than normal sidewall heights, so the total wheel+tire diameter is actually not that different from something like a 622x23 (aka 700C) skinny road bike tire on a traditional pavement only road bike.

https://off.road.cc/content/buying/13-of-the-best-650b-grave...

https://granfondo-cycling.com/650b-vs-700c/

If you have a disc only frame with wide tire clearance there exists the possibility of swapping between wheelsets that are either 650B or 700C depending on what type of riding you have planned in the near future.
For a course several years ago, I wrote a compact/efficient implementation of a Vigenere cipher:

private static char encipherCharacter(char message_char, char key_char){
return (char)(((int)(message_char) + (int)(key_char) - 194)%26 + 97);
}

public static String encipher(String plaintext, String key){
String ciphertext = "";

for(int i = 0; i < plaintext.length(); i++)
ciphertext += encipherCharacter(plaintext.charAt(i), key.charAt((i % key.length())));

return ciphertext;
}

I'd love to see other implementations, if anyone has some to share.

Lots of cool stuff here. But on the last point about managing renders, for my money any browser game is in a state of original sin if its logic and render loops are tightly coupled.

The Right Thing To Do is to run logic and rendering at separate cadences, with rendering driven exclusively by requestAnimationFrame. Then when the browser is minimized, RAF stops firing and rendering is skipped entirely (on top of the other benefits of decoupling logic and rendering).

The team, from the University of Hohenheim, Germany, analysed the microbiota composition of 12 healthy females following consecutively different high-fructose diets, first a fruit diet (100 g/day fructose from fruit and vegetables) and then, after a low-fructose phase, a high fructose syrup (HFS) diet (100 g/day fructose from syrup) and characterised the responses of bacterial communities after the different dietary interventions.

The report concludes that a high-intake of fructose syrup causes a reduction of beneficial butyrate producing bacteria and a gut microbiota profile that may affect unfavourably host lipid metabolism, whereas high consumption of fructose from fruit seems to modulate the composition of the gut microbiota in a beneficial way supporting digestive health and counteracting harmful effects of excessive fructose.

Besides a high fructose content, the authors note that the high fruit diet was characterised by a relatively high content of fiber. They therefore point out that observed alterations in gut microbiota may at least partially reflect changes driven by a higher intake of fiber rather than changes in response to the high-fructose consumption.

Fibre is an important component of the human diet and has known health benefits including lowering cholesterol and improving blood glucose responses. Dietary fibre as a prebiotic has specific effects on the microbial populations and its function as individual taxa have been shown to selectively metabolise discrete fibre structures.

To me, although I don't really know a lot, it seems quite logical that fruit is generally good for you and quite hard to overeat. We've been consuming fruits for thousands of years and although agriculture may have increased availability and nutritional value, comparing 10g of fructose found in an apple to 10g of fructose found in candy is nonsensical.

> Crime is not the only variable affecting the economy. I gave you another variable - paying people to not work.

It sounds like you're saying here that crime doesn't have a strong enough effect on inequality to really practically matter when compared to other factors. Is that what you're saying? That other factors are so much stronger that they're able to actually reverse the trend we would otherwise expect to see?

----

If you're trying to find the actual reasons why inequality has gone up, we can overlay a lot of charts on top of inequality levels that will show correlations, from welfare participation to market deregulation to housing prices to even mobile phone usage.

People can debate which of those theories are correct. But all of them are more plausible than the idea that crime rates are strongly correlated with rising inequality. I have some issues with the "welfare queen" narratives that people bring out, but blaming welfare is at least pointing to two numbers that are going in the same direction.

So, sure, I will happily grant that it is more plausible that welfare levels influence inequality than it is to say that crime rates are driving inequality. I will take some minor quibbles with the fact that spikes in welfare/inequality don't seem to be correlated in convincing ways (again, we saw economic trends around 2019/2020 that didn't line up with when people were given financial aide during the pandemic, which should probably strike you as at least a little bit odd). But yes, at the very least you're now pointing at graphs that both have a positive slope.

> It's a question for you. Which would you choose?

I would genuinely, honestly choose to work, I am interested in maximizing my earning potential for multiple reasons. I also have side/entrepreneurial stuff I do anyway for profit, so it's really not feasible for me to even consider taking welfare that would be conditional on me not having a job or earning any additional income. And the numbers you're talking about are too low for me to live comfortably, and only the working option gives me a clear path forward to changing that number.

I don't think that answer matters to you, and I don't understand why you care about it. Obviously you don't think the answer I give above about my own work preferences is representative of the average American person, so why did you ask the question if the answer didn't matter to your argument?

Suppose someone decided to build another LHC, but to save money they would use exactly the same design, constriction crew, and code used to build the first one. Would you consider that a perfectly reasonable choice or would it seem risky?

That said I am all for peer reviewing code, but that’s not where this ends up. People are going to reuse code they don’t bother to dig into because people are people. The obvious next step would be to reject any paper that’s reusing code from a different team, but that’s excessive.

That said reusing code or data is much safer than reusing code and data.
Censoring scientific information to me feels like a continuation of science's replication crisis.
