These are really interesting maps, but I'm missing a few important data points.

For the cancer one, I feel like it's misleading. E.g. Russia and Central Africa might be low in cancer because of their low life expectancy, and Central Africa additionally because of its majority black population (which I assume to be less prone to skin cancer). As a white person, I believe it would be a mistake to move to Central Africa expecting to reduce one's skin cancer risk, as evidenced by the high skin cancer rates of white people in South Africa or Australia. So for that map it would be great to be able to filter it by age group and ethnicity.

The disability-adjusted life years (DALY) one seems much more useful. What stands out there is how much healthier people are on average in Western Europe compared to the U.S. Perhaps that is in part because of the more egalitarian societies and health care systems in European countries, which greatly improve the health of the less well-off. I wonder if that comes at the cost of the better-off, i.e. if say the top 10% in the U.S. are actually healthier in the U.S. than in Europe. It would be interesting to be able to filter by income level.

> In UK sedation is rarely used unless specifically requested by the patient

It varies by hospital trust, there is no uniform guideline.

My local NHS hospital sedates for colonoscopy as a matter of course (using fentanyl). But as you say, some don’t, and others ask the patient.
Timely colonoscopies save lives.

However, I have a hunch that frequent colonoscopies are maybe not a good idea.

Doubts:

1. We know more but we don't know all things creating colon cancer. Knowing the existence of cancers caused by viruses, disinfection procedures applied on the device could matter a lot.

2. Even if we disinfect properly, we know of a notorious little fellow: H.pylori, which can go down to the intestines. "Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with colon adenomatous polyps detected by high-resolution colonoscopy."
https://bmcgastroenterol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/...

3. H. pylori (which serves just as an example, there can be other bad guys) is really hard to get rid of with disinfectants. It builds up resistance over time so it's doubtful that our disinfectants currently in use will stay as effective as well.

4. Frequently putting a foreign object to different people's colons (yes, I know it's disinfected) would increase the probability of transmitting such unknown risks.

I didn't talk about perforation risk. Just the possibly transmissible cancer risk.

So I remain doubtful that it's completely harmless
It's necessary but every year? Doubtful without more data.

Finally, thanks for the people who invented and use it to save lives.

Yes it's most probably one of the main risk factors and it's being actively research at the moment. Please check my other comments for the recent video presentation that's based on the state-of-the-art research from a Stanford University Professor regarding the risk factors for cancer and CVDs.
> What about if you had 500 petabytes of data to analyze?

Then we probably need the big tools.

> Big data does exist in the wild.

So does little data.

The problem is that a "one-size-fits-all" approach has become common, not just in data analysis; think of all the low-medium traffic webpages that use giant, complex frameworks and huge distributed systems just to display essentially a small CRUD app that would have been ALOT easier to cobble together in plain JS on a simple LAMP server.

She mentions a diet rich in Protein. Even Supplements like Whey Protein Shakes. I wonder how that extra growth fuel contributes to cancer cell growth.
At the very instance kf cell division, there is a small chance of the cell going 'rogue', becoming a cancer cell. In all of our bodies, all of the time. Thankfully the chance is pretty slim, but when I train a lot and eat a lot of protein, then I will have a much higher frequency of cell division.
It's what I always wonder when I drink my whey protein after workout, being almost 40. Can my body handle all the growth right?

I had a mole removed yesterday. It was picked up in my yearly mole map.

I believe pressure here is referring to the workload being asked of the machine, rather than the result of how it is processing that workload.

First impression is that the new layout gives way better overview on the history and evolution. Nice colour coding/styling and I was like: Yes! that's the way to go. Opposed to the old style which felt like a wall-of-clicking and a pain in the finger.

Then I opened one of the old articles and saw one of the most amazing thing seldom seen in release note: actual imagery visually supporting "New Features / Enhancements", and I was like: Wow! if your doing that, then you are proud of what your are doing and what you have achieved. ... and you are going to throw that all away ?!?!?
Pretty much everyone has some cancer in their family. Cancer is really common.

You won't always know there was cancer, though: How often do you hear about Grandpa's prostate or that mole your cousin had removed?
> I've seen many ETL scripts written where a simple SQL statement would have been better. SQL queries tend to work after a few queries have been verified to be correct, ETL jobs in languages like java can dump mysterious stack traces referencing many frameworks breaking due to data issues, memory issues, or unhandled cases.

This is so true. I write data pipelines at work. I only use SQL to move data around for this very reason. You never get any bug to fix with SQL. You sometimes need to adjust some queries to some new bad input but never ever will you see : 'index out of bound' or 'wrong argument' or whatever.
Fair enough, I was told that this is standard practice
Fine example of the completely worthless search engine-clogging, link-farm fodder, passed off as "content" which plagues the web today.
Fair enough, I chose to ignore the Auto Layout comment, I was more responding to the implied point of the web being networked-first and immediately shareable unlike desktop (again different story on mobile). The overall point I was trying to make was that this didn't come free and we lost a lot of functionality, user experience, performance and accessibility during this transition (especially on macOS).
It was interesting that reading that abstract, that it didn't cite another possible reason - more regular medical examination. I wouldn't be surprised in such a job, flight attendants might be expected to do regular medicals or have other reasons like needing prescription drugs say for sleep tablets.

I think you missed my point. Attackers will go through commits regardless of a "Security Patch" tag.

But going about your normal patch cycle as normal for things not labelled "Security Patch", just means if the patch for some reason should have been tagged but wasn't, you're in the same situation.

I do see the value in your approach, but it just does not change anything for applications where security is top priority.

Same here, but I stopped watching the monitors; I just watch a movie on my phone; makes it go (much) quicker for me => I hardly notice anything if the movie (or tv show) is good.

You're not suggesting NATO saying "sure let's talk about membership" and Russia INVADING a country is the same but different "magnitude"?

It's up to Ukraine if they want to pursue NATO membership or any other agreement with any country or organization.

Russia has no say. It's not a negotiation between NATO and Russia. Russia isn't at the table. They can pine for old USSR glory all they want but nobody else wants that.

And the way Putin's been killing journalists and dissidents (in the UK no less), raiding the treasury, annexing Crimea, and other nonsense, I don't see them being invited to many negotiations in the future.

Global numbers from last year:

"A record 260 gigawatts (GW) of new renewable energy capacity was added worldwide in 2020, up 50% from the year before, ... Cumulatively, installed global renewable generation capacity amounted to 2,799 GW at the end of 2020, including hydropower. .. The share of renewables in energy generation worldwide now stands at nearly 30%, according to the International Energy Agency and other sources."[1]

I've heard such numbers before and asked my doctor about them, but been told that those are overexaggerated. A higher risk apply to patients with intestinal diseases such as Chron's (not me) or when doctors have conducted minor surgery from inside the gut.

A normal colon is quite flexible, and should not get hurt just from the endoscope being pushed through the gut.

Snipping a "normal" polyp or taking a biopsy would cause a little bleeding, but should heal up quickly. I've been told that I could see blood in my stool after it, but it's been so little that I haven't.

> What has "the west" done that's remotely comparable to Crimea or South Ossetia?

Lead the pro-NATO coup in the closest Russia's neighbourgs, armed these countries with heavy weapons, encouraged them to fight Russia and promised to support this fight, then leave and watch Russians and Ukrainians kill each other at the expense of Europe.

It didn't started in 2022 or 2014, it escalated for the last 30 years.
It doesn't take much to realize that no one can answer this. Causes of death get really weird as you go back in time. And it isn't like we can dig up bodies to know since soft tissue isn't usually preserved. We know cancer has been an issue for centuries, though.

We've not been doing colonoscopies nearly as long and we still don't do them to the general population (Even if your country recommends you get them once you reach a certain age: Healthcare is sparse in many areas of the world). This does mean that we really don't know how prevalent it is except in some populations. And even then, we probably don't know since we do not routinely do them to younger folks.

I'm sure there are all sorts of other issues with this, but I'm a layperson and I'm guessing you are too.
No company is benevolent. Every company ultimately seeks to maximize its bottom line. The whole premise of capitalism is that in a healthy market there will be some agents whose selfish interests happen to align with your own. For example, while Apple finds it advantageous to play up the privacy angle when competing with Google in the US, its PR statements shouldn't be confused with benevolence. In this case, Google burnishes its image from flexing its internet muscles to "help the little guy".
Thank you! I think I've got it now. So using the createNull version is very very similar to using a spy server, with the difference that with the null version the request is not sent at all.

If I can, may I ask you another question? How do you inject the createNull version in a test that does not have the architecture wrapper as a direct dependency? Do you manually unravel the dependencies? For example:

Test -> UpperController -> Controller -> ArchitectureWrapper

How do you test UpperController with a createNull version of ArchitectureWrapper?

Or is it necessary to always have the architecture as a direct dependency of the SUT? (As mandated by the A-frame architecture)

Regarding battery storage I would like to know how many gigawatt hours are going to be added.

Sad to see you being downvoted like this, but I wanted to know the same thing you asked.

It seems people are really sure that exercising a lot and not eating meat or whatever is the healthiest thing one can do, for weight and health reasons... But evidence says the complete opposite, most of the time.

People are so fascinated about the idea that exercise and certain foods are so good, that they don't even bother to check the studies and the evidence, they just know it's true for some reason. It doesn't matter that everyone you know is going to a gym or running (a million more times than, say, 50 years ago) and yet the populations are only getting more obese by the minute. Or how athletes are dying young and have many health issues everywhere... Or that indigenous people don't even hunt or do nothing at all for a week (between each hunting trip), and yet they are so thin and don't have cancer.

In other words, no one really knows yet if running several kilometers every day is good for you, or if it's actually killing you. And no one knows yet what exactly is "to eat correctly", though I'm pretty sure all the stuff we've read in those paid studies made in the last 100 years are just absolute garbage.

I mean if they had the people's support they would probably volunteer; when it comes down to it, as long as people's needs are met (a house, food, water, hygiene, free time etc), a wage becomes optional. I believe that's an oversimplification of the communist ideology.

Russia is big and I'm confident they have most resources needed to build their own tanks and the like without any foreign imports. But that's a gut feeling.

Nobody "blinks" they just run out of pricing power.

Raising prices due to inflation is not particularly different than trying to raise prices for any other reason. What limits you doing it more is that you can't.

So inflation is generally "eaten" by the least powerful actors in the system - those with the least ability to raise prices.

In a loose sense, all pricing is a kind of negotiation.

Inflation is messy and price updates take time to propagate due to stickiness, inertia, contracts, negotiation costs etc. Also psychology. It is very helpful if others in your industry announce they are raising prices...

Many consumer facing businesses e.g., supermarkets, utilities, consumer SaaS can in theory raise prices instantly (subject to market forces, public opinion, regulation, etc).

Workers on the other hand, need to switch jobs or wait for reviews. B2B companies and suppliers may need to wait for contract renewals.

After the delays and messy details are taken into account what's left are market forces. This looks a lot like "who has the upper hand in pricing".

New taxes are similarly complex and it is often not clear who will be able to pass them on and who will ultimately absorb them.
Maybe I come into this with some bias because I don't have the highest opinion of "futurists" but I find it really difficult to engage with this article. Firstly, it's a fairly contentious to claim that bureaucracy was the cause of the industrial revolution rather than simply something that came along as the result of massive increases in productivity. I think it's also really just weird to claim that bureaucracy has increased in the last 10 years. Let's throw away the twitter poll firstly because sampling, secondly let's acknowledge that people's perception in the change in levels of bureaucracy is probably unreliable, and thirdly 10 years isn't a long term trend. If the author wants to see some takes on bureaucracy in the future I'd recommend Gilliam's Brazil for example.

There's lots of interesting ways to take this topic that the author just doesn't address. What if bureaucracy is the result of scale, and scale is the result of population, and the world's population is going to peak pretty soon? Does bureaucracy reverse with population decline? It would make intuitive sense I guess.
Perspective. This is a cancer story of someone well-to-do and is very likely not to match a lot of folks' experience.
