TMS produces suprathreshold stimulation: it can take a neuron from its (passive) resting potential to spike threshold, all by itself. The numbers you give are correct for that.

Weaker stimulation can't do that, but subthreshold stimulation can "nudge" the timing of spikes. In a living brain, neurons are constantly bombarded with synaptic input, and therefore sit closer to spike threshold and occasionally spike. Weak stimulation can therefore cause them to fire a bit sooner or later than they otherwise would. Since information is carried not just by the overall amount of firing, but also the spatiotemporal structure of that activity, these subthreshold changes can lead to overt changes in behavior. The recurrent nature of the brain can also amplify these effects.

I know this because I've literally measured it in macaques and found that fields well below 1 V/m (produced by ±2 mA 5-40 Hz AC on the scalp) are enough to reorganize spike trains. Here's one of our papers: http://packlab.mcgill.ca/Krause%20et%20al%202019.pdf

FWIW, I was surprised by these results--and deeply relieved when they replicated!
I think you're right, which sucks, but I'd say the main difference can be if the general population just fights you, none of these can work. When you send the person to check someone's ID they get shot. Pretty soon nobody wants to do that. Or you blow up the office where you get your ID re-evaluated, etc.

The deciding factor is just the population's will. With so many millions of people that's all this comes down to. Russia couldn't possible enlist or conscript enough people to make this work if the Ukrainians decide they will not tolerate it.

But there is much that remains to be seen, unfortunately. This sucks. We need to solve this disinformation problem. Hopefully sanctions will start working too.
Regarding this specific post, the user might have his browser tab open but go eat lunch and then come back, in which case the "time on page" is still not showing the time the user actually spent on your website. A more accurate metric would be to check for user activity, but then again, the user might be inactive for 1 hour yet somehow actively reading the page content.

Sorry, yes, terrible resource.

I could be wrong about the depth to which her burns penetrated, I can't find where I initially read that.

I offer instead a lesser argument: it is not absurd that a burn penetrate deep enough to affect bone, especially at the pelvis where bone is close to the surface.

This kind of developer is always trying to bring something into the stack with an ulterior motive of being able to put that new piece of tech into their resume as another bullet point.

It's a HUGE problem.. the devs who do it also tend to be the exact opposite of K.I.S.S. They're always looking for the most complicated and obtuse way of doing anything to make themselves look smart.

It's one of the hardest problems in a person's life, sustaining good habits over very long periods of time.
-Exactly, which is why you try to tackle the problem every day. Not every day is successful, but a handful of days are better then absolute zero.

It goes above normalcy, it's extraordinary, proven by the fact that most people can't do it.
- You have to live through each and every second of your life, if you don't set yourself up for success, you'll only have a harder time developing good habits. Life is 100% about developing coping mechanisms. I walk on a treadmill for daily standup, I'm out the office/desk at 4pm and spend time with family/the dog/ a good book. The book thing is key because I've found it levels out my mental state and makes it less erratic.
I use burp suite(community version) for the same purpose along with frida. There is also Brida[1] its sort of a bridge between both of them.

Something which I don't like is that every time I need the traffic to go through burp I need to go the WiFi settings and modify the "advance option" to use proxy. And if I keep the proxy settings on all the time then I've had issues with playstore and other such app, on the testing device. So that small bit of manual work is what I don't like.

In another comment[2] they mentioned they'll be releasing an android interceptor which would work without proxy, I think that would make me try this.

Something that doesn't seem explored here is the effect of working on ineffective work.

Everyone will encounter something like the following in their career

1. There is a problem that your customers and you face - but you are not allowed to solve it for "Reasons"

2. The product area will never work, but you must continue working on things that no one will ever use for "reasons". Ever write exhaustive test coverage for something that won't be used?

3. The things that you work on will never take you to where you want to go in your career. Your managers will not let you take on work that moves the needle for you personally.

4. It's the same problems day after day without any resolution. There is no support to solve them (A ticket queue with dozens of identical tickets).

I'd say the main times I've felt burnout were one of the above.
It ends with a sales pitch for a manual to reduce burnout by paying attention to 16 dimensions. This document provides no solutions for workplace burnout.
I've started to think that the plausibility of recovering a lot of the digital data we're creating in the case of a nuclear winter might be really low. Imagine walking a wasteland of abandoned computers in a fallout-style land. The vast majority would be behind passwords and even when it wouldn't, the internet wouldn't be accessible. Raid serverfarms? They'll be torn apart for metal or even if not, behind even stronger encryption than regular computers. Feels like our accumulated knowledge is a lot more fragile than we acknowledge.
Because features trump everything else when it comes to enterprise software. Teams are often working in Parallel on features and so will duplicate work until the whole thing becomes a giant mess.

Does that ever happen? They'll probably keep prices exactly the same.

>One of their approaches to gain sympathy to their cause is to keep making taxes hard

I'm not sure where you get this from. People on the right have been yelling about simplifying the tax code for a long time. Flat tax, "postcard-sized tax form," national sales tax, all kinds of ideas have been floated. Even eliminating the income tax altogether and going back to funding the government through tariffs, those the people who suggest that wear a lot of tri-corn hats or subscribe to "Reason" magazine.

The fact of the matter is the tax code is the biggest trough from which politicians can reward donors, lobbyists, and other allies. A nice tax carve-out for left-handed buggy whip manufacturers is easy and cheap, and nobody reads all 1100 pages of some omnibus bill, so whoever slid it in can claim to be "for small business!" (the right), or "making the rich pay their fair share!" (the left).

As for the general population, all of their taxes are taken out of their paycheck. Taxes aren't hard for them. They pay a few thousand in income and payroll taxes over the year, they get a thousand or so back in a refund, and they think everything is great.

If there was a bill that eliminated all the tax code and replaced it with a brochure-sized alternative, there might be some on the right who would object, but EVERYBODY on the left would lose their minds. I can't think of a single progressive who has supported a simplification of the tax code.

Thanks for replying. I am sure there is more than one way to change it. But I am not a Web developer and did not want to spend time on it...

I use Firefox. Found the icon in the network log and blocked that URL. But cannot see any effect even on the first reload. When cleaning the cache and going to a new tab the block entry has even disappeared. Doesn't seem to be a persistent setting for the whole browser. Maybe only for one developer tools session???

A quick web search brings up https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/request-block... . But it's not widely used, so I don't want to start auditing it's code now.

I guess uBlock Origin might also offer such functionality. Have never used it. I
use CookieAutoDelete and Firefox account containers and if a page has too annoying ads I close it. Prefer spending less time fiddling with my browser these days.
It's the feminine because it refers to the family, and "família" is feminine. e.g. "João Ferreira" would be "John, [of the] blacksmith [family]". That's also the reason a few surnames include de/da/do (of/of the).
I would not be surprised at all if half or more of the dishes you see on commercial buildings are just vestigial, waiting for a signal that will never come again.
I said "employed via the same contract," not "a comparable contract." Meaning, the VP's hiring contract says "you get $X/yr to hire some staff".
Fidelity is the one to focus on immediately because it's the most serious-- by far-- and they have walk-in locations where a real account rep can help you. The downtown SF location near Market & 2nd has excellent staff in my experience.

Fidelity might turn up something about identity theft, or credit reports, or red flags, or similar. If so, you can handle these. If not, then ask a private investigator for help; a good PI has research tools to find problems then help you fix them.
Oh that must be where the Swedish "pippa" came from. The Swedes were after all enamoured with french culture and language for a long time.
My first thought is that you have an enemy who is messing with your online accounts.

Try creating a new email, and do not give anyone that email, keep it secret. Use this email to sign up for all new accounts. It will be a laborious process, but it's worth a try. If you want to be super paranoid rule out remote access to your devices or computers too -- get a new phone and do everything on there.
This makes me realize that we need to improve upon the downloads page too. Noted this down. Feel free to drop me a Hi at sachin@requestly.io
My internet is a gigabit down and like 30mbit (or maybe 15mb?) up. I really don’t want that upload bandwidth being used by some p2p thing unless it is a torrent seed I specifically allow.

I would never want some random hypothetical YouTube / peertube / Spotify users hogging my precious upload bandwidth. I need that tiny slice of upload for backups, conference calls, and gaming.

My friend, however, lived in an area that offered fully symmetrical gigabit fiber internet. Dirt cheap too ($60/mo). We’d use his Plex server all the time to stream HD or even 4K content right from a PC in his office. It was awesome!
Militarily, you are 100% correct. Economically, China and Vietnam are strong competitors. Culturally, there seems to be no love lost. It's hard to imagine the Viets encouraging Chinese economic hegemony.

Now I am curious why you buy health insurance. Are you insuring against the risk of a high cost claim, like a heart attack or premature baby, cancer or transplant? Is it just something you think you should have (but from your comments, dont really use the healthcare system very often)?

It's not that they have failed as much as it is a strategic decision. ULA is not doing this by choice, they are doing it (as mentioned) to effectively subsidize the industry in Russia for other diplomatic and security reasons as opposed to technical reasons. [0]

"The [US government] asked us to buy [Russian engines] at the end of the Cold War in order to keep the Russian Rocket Scientists from ending up in North Korea and Iran," ~ tweet from ULA's CEO

ULA is in the process of replacing the russian engines as part of the shift to their Vulcan rocket and away from Atlas. I believe they have all the rockets they need in hand.

ETA: and to be explicit, they are not paying the scientists and engineers directly. They are paying the russian firms doing the work.

Who prefers box or underscore as a cursor option?
This morning I was configuring an app and it gave me three options for cursor styles: box, underscore and vertical bar.

The vertical bar has always made sense with me—it lives in-between letters, for example: when I see "test|ing" I know that my cursor is in-between the final "t," but before "i." If I type "X" I'll get: "testXing."

By contrast, in this app the box cursor is like this: "test[i]ng" and if I type "X," it's not obvious to me that I'll get "testXing" instead of "testiXng."

I get that this is a matter of preference, but I'm curious to know why underscore and box would be preferable to vertical bar.

---

Here's images of the same cursor placement, but different styles:

- Example of vertical bar: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/24446573/156610316-47df7923-744a-4b14-a23a-ddbac873ba59.png

Ironically this article itself is fake news:

1. It is just a proposal: “The proposed legislation, which is supported by Vyacheslav Volodin, the parliamentary speaker, a close ally of President Putin, could be discussed by parliament as early as this week, state television reported.”

2. Another wild proposal, to forcibly conscript protestors, was shot down by Kremlin:

Ok. I suppose this works also if the tank moves -- but if it gets out of sight, let's say a truck drives in front of the tank, then might the javelin miss?

Or is the javelin so high up in the air, so it could typically see the tank anyway?

I do think there is a difference between "sever" and "disable Russian TLD's". Don't they collect a fee to create TLD's? And therefore are directly engaging in commerce with Russia?
> Plus think about the precedent being set here. Punishing civilians for the actions of its government is absolutely insane and will backfire badly.

I disagree. This is war - it's not meant to be comfortable - and a government does represent the people. Putin's approval rating over the years has been really high, in the mid-high 70s [1]. The only way this ends with minimal bloodshed is if the populace exerts sufficient pressure against leadership. That means protests, that means civil disobedience.

If the populace doesn't feel the impact of the war, then there's no pressure for the administration to end it.

Think of it more like less-lethal weapons. Yah you don't want to get hit by a rubber bullet but you certainly don't want to get hit by a real bullet. If things escalate then the people may get hit by real bullets metaphorically and literally.

[edit] > Punishing civilians for the actions of its government is absolutely insane and will backfire badly.

This is an interesting argument, especially for a representative government.

"You can't blame me for what the people I pick do!"

I mean, yes? I can? Even in countries without, governments can be overturned internally.

> the MSDN subscription which entitles you to a lot of software and is an astonishingly good deal if you really use it.

It’s, I think, Visual Studio Subscription now (though the name has changed several times), but the licenses are for quite limited purposes, and designed to prevent the very high prices Microsoft charges end users for their software from being a barrier for vendors developing and supporting solutions that force end users to buy the software.
Proof of work completely replaces the bureaucracy that maintains trust in traditional ledgers..

A bunch of automated nodes, strewn across the globe, and connected via the internet, maintain the network, with the network being able to seamlessly/autonomously manage nodes joining/leaving.

There are no legal contracts that need to be drawn up, filled out and signed for someone to start submitting PoW, or validating and propagating transactions, to the network. There is no HR department. No payroll. Just machines, and a deterministic compensation mechanism, managed by a fault tolerant network of machines.
