How do I square this with the knowledge that some groups benefit by discrediting legitimate scientific consensus, as has happened numerous times in the last century? I'll share my own FUD [1]:

That aside, I don’t understand why your experiences of bad cycling are relevant here.
Surprised this is being rediscovered. Years ago only "enterprise" or "data center" SSDs had the supercap necessary to provide power for the controller to finish pending writes. Did we ever expect consumer SSDs to not lose writes on power fail?
There is legal precedent for this, at least in Australia.

If you are fired for doing something wrong that others are also doing (and they're not fired for it), you have a case for an unfair dismissal suit [1].

It is a bit more complicated, because on paper Russia until today recognized separatist-controlled territory as a part of Ukraine. The problem is that DNR/LNR state that their borders are the same as Donetsk/Luhansk oblast, which is a much bigger region.
Second, Russia involvement with 'republics' was mainly with keeping status quo since spring of 2015, that changed in 2021, and what they are going to do now, nobody knows.

Canada did good. The courts will do the rest. It's a democratically elected government, the public gave it this power and approved it's use. This is what the Canadian public wants. The protesters are part of a fringe far-right movement. They had a month to make their case. They made it. It did not do any good for anyone.
Objective-C is such a small and concise language. It doesn't get in the way of development in quite the same way Swift can delay building out a feature due to bikeshedding.
Like you, I seriously considered that idea (buying while it's low), but I decided not to, because that'd be like supporting that company in some way -- as if I were helping bankroll (admittedly, t a very tiny extent) its perverse vision for the future.

In the end, I put my money elsewhere.
I don't think anyone has claimed that the protest turned into a riot.

Only that the protest turned into an occupation and/or a blockade that caused economic damage and negatively impacted the residents of Ottawa.

These were remarkably peaceful protests, for the most part, by both the protesters and the police.
I don't know. Passenger service collapsed in the decade leading up to the formation of Amtrak. Other than bailing out and heavily subsidizing a bunch of failing railroads, I'm not sure what the fix was--although the Federal government could have made a much bigger investment at the time than it did. (Basically, spend what it would take to create popular Shinkansen routes.)
Nothing is ever guaranteed. However, taking a failed state that has never in 31 years had a coherent government, had multiple coups, has been the poorest country in Europe, has been run by the same thugs for the last couple of decades despite those coups - basically, a European version of Somalia - and lacing it with Western weapons and military instructors does not seem to be the wisest idea. (or even a good path into EU, for that matter)

Strange that he says “No agency would have done this ad.”

Someone from the ad agency that pitched them this idea replied: https://twitter.com/Cavallokristen/status/149581148789773517...

and he proceeds to never name them. https://twitter.com/brian_armstrong/status/14958203518796595...

I'm playing to see just how much of a stack I can cram into postgres. Using postgrest functions that set custom headers to return html. And then...

I'm using plv8 to set up a deno-type runtime in postgres lol. It's silly but so fun and weird-feeling to me.

It's very finicky right now and most build tools are not ever going to work like this obviously but I have a little tiny "server" running out of postgres just using js tag functions for templating.

I think that there are answers out there, many coming from Stephen Kotkin, a man who destroyed his eye sight studying Stalin, who is an expert on the collapse of the Soviet Union, and who is trying to reboot the American diplomatic service.
He talks about how we in the west must stop demonizing each other. We have the ability to solve our problems, but our political parties make it impossible to get the right people on our ballots. (In Canada I just join all the parties and vote within them, since a vote within is worth 50 votes without).

Kotkin is non-partisan, and we should all take notice of what he says.

1) Close 1 eye, hold thumb up to moon

2) Adjust distance of thumb from face until it just barely occludes vision of the moon.

3) Holding very still, use accurate calipers to measure thumb.

Under many repetitions with many different experimenters, this should consistently yield a result showing that the width of the moon is one thumb wide.

I'm working on alternative discovery methods for discovering websites. I've built a sort of semi-stumbleupon, but I'm trying to add more of a sense of control.

It's great to have support for tail recursion when implementing recursive solutions, but it is a tall order to add to more traditional languages.
However tail recursion is not the only trick Racket has up its sleeve.

In Racket you can't get a stack overflow.

At the time a potential stack overflow is detected, the oldest parts of the current stack is copied to the heap and a fresh stack is introduced. When the stack underflows the saved stack is reinstated. [At least this is a rough idea of how it works - implementation details differ to make it process efficient.]

This means that you can rely on recursive solutions even when the recursive call occurs in a non-tail context.

This idea (no stack overflows) could be used in more traditional languages too.
As you write in traditional languages there is a real risk to bump into the stack limit.
I think we'll simply have to agree to disagree, because we're seeing the same facts and reaching different conclusions. The polio campaign included heavy use of marketing. Its story demonstrates that marketing isn't intrinsically bad; it can be used to bad ends. And any policy separating the baby from the bathwater in this regard will, I think, be a major challenge to implement correctly without risking making something like the polio campaign illegal.

Polio vaccination had to be sold as a concept. The public had to be taught, cajoled, coerced, and door-to-door-campaigned to volunteer to get stabbed with a cocktail of virus parts to protect them from a disease that hardly ever proved fatal or permanently debilitating. They had to be told their friends were doing it, their neighbors were doing it, all the "cool kids" were into it.

It looked like this:

https://www.neh.gov/sites/default/files/styles/1000x1000_squ...

There were, of course, additional circumstances (having a President that is visibly impaired by the disease, though his people did their best to hide it, certainly mattered), but the March of Dimes absolutely promoted, sold, and aided in distribution of a service. Hell, the name March of Dimes was coined as a more marketable name than "National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis" because they were trying to convince everyone to chip in 10 cents to pay for the project (https://www.marchofdimes.org/mission/eddie-cantor-and-the-or...). It's every bit as much a sell as Sarah McLachlan showing up and singing over pictures of very sad puppies is today.

(And to be clear... Thank God it worked. It's great to live in one of the decades where my fear of polio is practically nil. But the point is: without marketing, none of that was a given. People didn't just wake up one day and go "I'm going to go get stabbed by a stranger with a needle full of disease-juice..." a vast marketing campaign convinced them that was the right thing to do. Same techniques that were being used to convince them they should drive to the injection site in their shiny new Ford because walking was for suckers).
I don't quite understand what's being copied/reused here. Is it stamps being used to make copies of something?
I did not said a single negative thing about them. Saying that maybe they were not secretly happy, but instead they felt like they said they feel or how they looked is not a judgement.

Is this article a joke? There is no mention of why eating healthily would have negative life consequences. There is, however, a sleight of hand in which the author blames the subject of the piece’s “eating disorder” for him losing his job. Was he eating steak while working at a vegan smoothie shop?

Perhaps people thought it had a future because it's backed by one of the richest companies in history, who also happen to be producing the most popular consumer product in history, which incidentally runs on Swift?
This is not about pulling power during writes. Flush is supposed to force all non-committed (i.e. cached) writes to complete. Once that has been acknowledged there is no need for any further writes. So those drives are effectively lying about having completed the flush. I also have to wonder when they intended to write the data...
Just imagine: if this is how they treat someone with Chris Lattner's reputation, think about how they'll treat a new contributor writing their first new feature proposal. It's not a project I'll ever want to touch.
If you have a lots of files in Google Drive, this can take a significant amount of time or you may not be able to sync it locally. I push incremental backups & disk images without a retention period to Google Drive (it's unlimited storage) so there's quite a bit of data shoved in there

It's pretty easy to get rate limited so it could take days or weeks to build an index (so having a tool that talks to the API is generally more reliable)
You sure can. Parallels has supported this since its first M1 version AFAIK. I'd be surprised if UTM/QEMU doesn't support this as well.

>it's not so obvious that young people who are having casual sex are motivated by the desire for sex so much as what casual sex means for their relationship with the group.

This was anecdotally true for me, at least. My group of male friends put sex on a pedestal in such a way that having sex with women made me more popular and highest status my male friends, and boosted my self-esteem as well. It's not that sex wasn't enjoyable for its own sake (especially considering I had so much less of it back then), but there were strong, additional non-sex reasons to pursue sex. So it's hard to disentangle all the different motivations.

> I need to see something that other people don't see and learning to see that and communicate that I see that is important.

This simultaneously strikes me as both a fascinating line of thought and overly simplistic. People aren't endlessly, perfectly competitive and rational the way many economic models assume we are. Sometimes being a reliable, quality, present, and attentive companion is enough to win a person's love and affection, even if there's someone "better" out there who might see things in them you don't see. And while seeing something unique in a person occurs in a moment, lasting companionship is lasting by definition. As you said, admiration is only the start.

Still, the skill of truly seeing another person in a unique way is a good one. It's good for the people you know, and it's good for your own self, your ability to learn from others, appreciate them, and grow from meeting them.
China took on lots of debt to do that, and it will take a while to pay it off if ever (we can argue whether SOE debt is government debt or not). It might make for some interesting development opportunities in the future, but only an authoritarian government could divert so many resources.

I’m much more excited by Japan’s new maglev that will go from Tokyo to Nagoya by 2026 or 2028.

Hyper loop had a lot of potential to avoid the problem facing most rail projects in the states (lack of land for straight shots needed for HSR, and the government’s unwilling to use eminent domain to get that, also, I think Americans are more adverse to viaducts everywhere than the Chinese). A vaccine tube underneath would solve a lot of that.
>Those weekly sanctions can reach--but not exceed--a total of €50 million ($56.7 million).

does this mean it could read 50 million per week, or 50 million in total. I would assume per week, as in total does not seem reasonable, but the wording is ambiguous.

In my experience, if you're not using Heroku, getting a Rails/Django app launched requires at least a day or two dedicated to devops faffing about (creating server instances, setting up CDNs, making sure the database is minimally correct, having some kind of deploy script or something). This won't even get you nice to have things like multiple environments with CI and deploy previews. Switching over to serverless can reduce that to less than one day and get you deploy previews. Is that a good tradeoff? It just depends on the app, and how long lived it will be, what the performance requirements are, the costs of hosting, etc. For my needs, it's often easiest to just use Netlify's AWS Lambda adaptors.
Don't use an anonymous email. Just email them from an account you use and see what turns up, if it is such a frequent question the author in this day an age could post an errata to their website. They might even have a reworked bit of prose for a second edition or some-related-next-project. The only people I wouldn't email are the people that clearly don't want to be found from a simple search.

It's just an email, don't overthink it. Don't write a rebuttal essay, just express what you are reading and why it doesn't line up for you and send it along. Maybe there's something you're missing or maybe this is a bit of manuscript that was revised a few times and now doesn't line up perfectly. It's no different than going to a friend and asking if they can make heads or tails from it. They wrote a book to share something they found interesting people asking questions and clarifications is what I would think to be one of the few true rewards.

Solomonoff Induction. Although proven to be uncomputable (there are people working on formalizing efficient approximations) it is such a mind-blowing idea. It brings together Occam's razor, Epicurus' Principle of multiple explanations, Bayes' theorem, Algorithmic Information Theory and Universal Turing machines in a theory of universal induction. The mathematical proof and details are way above my head but I cannot help but feel like it is very underrated.
