According to the CDC, a west-east coast flight is about 0.035 mSv per passenger.

The average annual exposure per person in the US would be about 3.3 mSv (without medical radiation from xrays and such)[0], mostly from natural background radiation. There are high regional differences[1], could be as low as 1 mSv or as high as 20 mSv. Human made factors play a role as well, e.g. coal burning (e.g. in power plants) will dose people living close by with radioactive elements in coal ash.

Anyway, a busy crew member can do maybe the equivalent of 100 such flights a year, which would be roughly an additional dose of 3.5 mSv per year.

Their total annual exposure would then come out as double the average (US).

For comparison, an xray can be as low as 0.1 mSv for a chest one, but a whole body PET scan comes in at about 23 mSv.

So I'd conclude that being a flight crew member would of course somewhat increase your radiation-induced health risks, but maybe not as bad as people might think.

Looking at other health factors for crew members, like in-flight air quality, increased exposure to fuel (kerosene) fumes and burn products working in airports and planes, or work/sleep schedules might offer additional/better explanations for the increase in cancer in this group compared to the average population.

[0] the world average is about 2.4 mSv, Germany comes in at 2.2 mSv, Japan 1.5 mSv. Didn't find a good number for India, where the article author lives.

I really don't think Putin can level Ukraine, his military so far has barely been able to advance on flat roads. They can occupy more cities, though, in a bloody war of attrition in which the odds are stacked in favor of the defenders. Unfortunately, this war does not seem to end anytime soon.

As for a Marshall plan for Ukraine. If they are able to force Russia to retreat, they'd be in NATO and EU in no time given the current circumstances and there surely would be something like a Marshall plan to build up the country. Personally, I don't think there will be such a win, though. This war is a classical lose-lose scenario and sadly the end result will likely be some kind of eternal cease fire agreement under a never-ending occupation, similar to what was in place since 2014. I think we agree on that.

My hope is that there will be change in Russia, though, maybe in a way that allows Putin to exit in a (from his perspective) reasonable way. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think Putin has planned to and has to stay in complete power of everything until his death.
Spain itself has extremely high unemployment, but I don't hear about software from there often. (There's one app I use developed there.)
The same question should be asked for the solar panels and the other components required, but at this moment, the question is simpler:

Can the materials for producing the required quantity be sourced from the current global market, and can they be expected to remain available for production of spare parts for the expected lifetime of the new systems?

As optimistic as I am about recent developments, there is no practical path for fusion to be a path forward for replacing our energy consumption. Fusion will likely supplement the technologies that we instill to replace carbon-based energy, but will not itself be part of the replacement of carbon-based energy.

For anyone reading with children... My daughter has cancer in her eyes. The only symptom was a barely noticeable squint despite it being very late stage (and then suddenly, dilated pupil and a color change in her pupil). In theory, the other symptom would have been a white reflection in her pupil had we ever taken a flash photo.

Pain relief and sedation are two separate things.

Nitrous oxide is a fairly strong anagelsic (pain medication) but a very weak sedative. That's exactly why it's often used for minor routine procedures where keeping the patient awake and reasonably alert is more valuable than keeping the patient fully sedated.
> "Auto Layout" in Swift is just a bare bones reimplementation of what we have
> in modern css with flexbox and grid.

How to say "I have no idea about Auto Layout of Swift UI" without saying it.
Not to mention that Auto Layout was introduced with OS X 10.7 Lion in2011 and iOS6 in 2012. CSS grid appeared in 2017 and viable support for flexbox around 2015. Interesting how they managed to do a "bare bones reimplementation" of something a few years before that something even came to live. Especially when those mechanisms are not very similar to each other.
Auto Layout has it roots in Cassowary, and is constraints based, which neither CSS Grid or Flexbox are.

People who never worked with native tech have no idea, how faster it is to do stuff on it, because you do not have to reinvent every small wheel and cog, unlike web tech.

E.g. navigation stack which iPhone OS/iOS had since the day one and React Native was/is struggling for years to have it.
Or table views and reusable cells.
When you add SwiftUI into the mix the "web evangelists" claims about web-tech superiority start to sound as credible as Russian propaganda.

I've been working with both stacks for years, and these nonsensical claims just make me sad.
As most are.
I always wonder how do people develop in Docker entirely deal with their own shell configuration? Actually install all the tools needed by your .zshrc (or .bashrc) in the container or there is a better solution?

That sounds a bit fanciful because how do you "actively fight cyberattacks"? It's all attack and no defense - even the passive defense is attack (via red teaming).
>Go through all the screening you can, cancer (of any form) is easer treated when caught early. Or even prevented.

There's reasons why we don't screen for all cancers all the time - one being that when you are young and healthy the false negative rate and risk of complications of the test are often higher than the chance the test catches something.
None of that is true, actually. It is only "true" for those, who have no idea of native SDKs capabilities.
You could say the same about computers and world peace. Ultimately it is not about the tools but how we use them. The MK-ULTRA history lesson in the sibling comments is good evidence that this is the case. Sadly the only kind of persuasion that people are interested in is based in violence. I think we should all listen a bit more to Morcheeba.
In my country we have a national program that screens via a stool sample, no need for colonoscopies unless the test comes back positive. It’s for 60-74 year old who aren’t at high risk of bowl cancer, those with family history still get colonoscopies.
You can (and often should) have indices in a map-reduce situation as well - you just build them in an explicit, visible way. But in most of the relevant use cases you're doing some kind of aggregation over the whole table, so indices don't help any.

But there are a lot reasons (it is bad news but it is the science):

- you are living in a country (or place in your country) with enviroment that it increases the % cancer. I don't talk about the human or no-natural things, I am talking about the natural things such as radon gas from granite...

- some cancers are from a tiny bug in the code our DNA (sometimes the code bug is from a infection of virus)

And at the moment you can check all the things (the science are working to find or clear more of them...but it is the far future or near) that they begins a cancer.
I personally mount a volume and run my normal shell on it. Some operations I do on the container, especially those which relate to deploy (e.g. PHP Composer), but for development the application directory is a normal filesystem directory and I'm using my own VIM and Bash.
I'm a little confused as to what the actual milestone is here? "We got 13% faster vs our last build" is just... well.. every day. I thought there was going to be some specific metric that they beat. It's good that browsers get faster at specific benchmarks, but what we basically always see is that the web gets more complex whilst browsers get faster (this is just an extension of the effect where software gets more complex as hardware gets faster and therefore the software you're using at any given time basically stays the same speed).

However, and I think this is important to bring up, browsers are basically the same speed and the reason to use one over the other is largely down to ergonomics and larger concerns. On the "larger concerns" side, Chrome is a failure. Chrome exists so the advertising company Google can track you and sell you targetted ads. It can do this in reasonable ways and it can do this in unreasonable ways, and with attacks on privacy like FLoC. Chrome is doing exactly what Internet Explorer was doing for microsoft in the 2000s and I think it's appropriate to call out that fact.
I looked into this revently, from what I can tell, no study could show a reduction in deaths from doing mammograms. This is because they detect many cancers that would go away on their own thus unnecessarily exposing you to chemotherapy which brings other health risks. A good starting point on this topic is this video: https://youtu.be/_sg14En-Z7A (I was doubtful at first, but everything he says is backed up by studies)

A statistics course would be a much more brutal weed-out course.

Nobody is arguing that users having a 1-2 week patch window is a bad thing. However, this frankly seems incompatible with open-source projects. Silently patching issues does not work in practice; it frequently leads to missed fixes, misapplied patches and other incompatibility woes. The situation with backports and LTS releases showcases this well— the only truly well-supported kernel is latest. Everything else is a patchwork of best-effort fixes, not all of which may have been applied correctly. Brad Spengler of grsecurity fame talks frequently about this (primarily via Twitter): https://twitter.com/spendergrsec
So… sanctions shouldn’t be used because they are too powerful? And this is argued almost exclusively with pre-1940 history? The specifics of what results of sanctions the author finds to be excessive are limited to mentioning deaths from famine. Does anyone believe the EU and US are capable of and willing to degrade the Russian economy to the point of mass famine?

I can discern exactly one testable hypothesis from this: that the US would be more willing than Europe to impose sanctions. This idea has already been proven to be wrong.

For an example that seems much closer than the current situation, including public pressure campaigns against individual companies, see South Africa, described in the same magazine: https://www.dissentmagazine.org/online_articles/when-polaroi...
When a cancer like this hits, there's a surprising amount of victim-blaming that goes on. People's fear of random events like this make them look for reasons why it hit you but could never happen to them, so they scour your personal choices for any sign of recklessness.

I love that the author of this kicked it off by saying she's the healthiest person she knows. It short-circuits the victim blaming and lets you see it as the unfortunate random event it is.
Which, long term, may bring benefits to mankind for generation or two, in form of stronger objections to any war. I agree, this war feels much closer and real than any other war in recent decades, and for me it actually is (coming from Slovakia).

Not happy about this myself, we are all equal humans and it shouldn't matter how people dress, speak or religion they have, this reaction should be present in all cases of war.
Trump was useful to Putin, sure, but the amount of actual leverage Putin has over the leader of a rival nation is vastly less than he does over his smaller neighbors who share land borders.

The obvious gulf between how Trump was useful to Putin and how his actual puppets are useful to Putin is all people not disposed to agree with you can see. It doesn't matter that your tangible points are correct if people immediately discard it over your emotional appeal.

First explanation seems to be easy to verify.

RCT with two groups of (similar demographic) people. Everyone is given a full body checkup for finding cancer. Half of them are treated for any cancer found and the other half are left as is.

Check the longevity and status of cancer in both groups.
One can put oneself in a low risk population by making healthy choices, but that population still has a probability of getting cancer associated with it. The risk can be inherent (you can be very healthy but with brca mutations a women will have something like an 85% probability of having breast cancer by age 45 I believe). You may also live near a gen-x dumping factory and not be aware of it, and then there is just the dumb bad luck of having errors during DNA replication and subsequently in the DNA repair mechanisms.
Hi,
As I'm a developer and a DPO (Data protection officer) I also looked for a privacy focused developer group, or even just a forum.
I haven't found one. That's why I created a "Developers and privacy" discord server to talk about it, if you're interested here is the invitation link : https://discord.gg/EVr6ptb2s6

Otherwise I know there are also Meetups about Privacy engineering organized here : https://www.meetup.com/fr-FR/privacy-engineering-sf/

I hope that I helped :)
Full-fledged biopsies, without any other indication, are exaggerated. A simple colonoscopy isn't. Nor are the other, standard, screening tests. And still most people just don't even use the standard screening options. My personal guess, because people are afraid the screening is finding something. Without the screening, you can happily continue your life in ignorance. Usually, this is regretted if they actually have cancer later, once the cancer is so advanced that actual symptoms manifest.
The problem with the "if I can't conquer it, I'll just level it" offense, is that there is very little defense. Everyone is talking about how difficult it is to invade cities. But it's trivial to destroy cities if you have no regard for civilian casualties.

The problem now is that the world can't meaningfully intervene because we didn't say beforehand that we would. We should have set up the no-fly zone with western weapons before there was further invasion. Now it's off limit because it means open conflict with Russia. Russia would not have invaded underneath NATO air supremacy AND it would not have taken the first shot against a french plane over Ukraine.

Look at DOM performance. Chrome has a ceiling of about 45m ops/s where FF max speed is dependent upon your ram and bus speed reaching beyond 4-5b ops/s. In both though querySelectors perform at about the same speeds as slow as 25000 ops/s.

I have written an OS GUI that executes in the browser. It loads, including full state restoration in about 120ms. I was recently interviewing with a search engine company, one of the big ones, where I could demonstrate that JavaScript tool can execute file system search much faster than the OS and produce better results. They seemed really impressed.

Despite all of this my biggest learning about performance is that mentioning performance during job interviews shows that you are incompatible with other JavaScript developers and will not be hired.
>Infrastructure can be rebuilt with a new Marshall plan later.

The Marshall plan types work when there is guaranteed political and economical stability in the countries where there are implemented, and it worked in destroyed countries like West Germany and Japan because those countries had guaranteed stability and protection from internal and external threats post-WW2 by the US military bases hosted in those countries which made Marshall plan investments very safe bets that they would be paid off.

Not NATO, nor the US military is willing to protect Ukraine and go to war with Russia to guarantee Ukraine's political and economical stability, and as long as Russia can steamroll Ukraine whenever they feel like it, no bank or country will make any significant investments in Ukraine.

I figure some of those light coloured countries have more people simply not getting a diagnosis. Additionally going to central africa as a white person might increase your chance of skincancer enough to offset any reduced of other cancers.

It's probably better to just go to where people live the longest and adjust to the local diet/rythm, etc
These ‘X % of cancers are due to lifestyle’ statements are an extrapolation from observational data we know is confounded and are an overestimate for sure. What they mean by ‘lifestyle’ isn’t even consistently defined, and thus has no predictive let alone explanatory power. Just look at the data from animals, they get cancer all the time and they aren’t eating cheerios and binge drinking. Cancer does effect smaller animals just as much [1].

I once wrote a JPEG 'recompressor' that could throw away some of the DCT coefficients, so you could dynamically adjust the size of images when streaming them to a web browser with limited bandwidth - just like the slider in this demo.

It was clunky and unreliable (estimating bandwidth quickly is hard!) but I really liked the way that the JPEG format allows you to increase the compression of a file without having to fully decompress and then recompress the image. You literally can just throw away some bits from the file here and there. I wonder if that is possible with other lossy data formats (video or audio)?
Well it's hard to say right now. It is hard to believe we could have working commercial fusion plants in 2035, but I do think it is possible. If the USA continues to drag our feet on switching to carbon neutral energy, that may unfortunately line up with our timeline. Especially if these fusion power plants are actually simpler to build than fission plants. Unfortunately it is very hard to plan for something that is unproven. But if we spend the next ten years going hard on renewables, we will then have an idea if CFS is going to succeed.

We could build out fission power plants, but if the Vogtle power plant in georgia is an indication of how fission build outs will go, it will be extremely expensive and take a very long time.
The answers to these questions are mostly irrelevant since we are only seeing very early prototypes of what the storage industry will use 20 years from now.

The objective now is to demonstrate grid scale battery storage is an economically sound proposition, to create an industrial field.

With sufficient scale, satisfactory answers to these questions will be found. We know answers exist, for example sodium ion batteries use resources that are essentially unlimited - salt and carbon. It's just that their lower mass capacity, irrelevant in a grid scale battery, meant that they are not interesting for mobility applications, where all the research went until now.
