a quick read of four or five related Wikipedia articles shows a lifetime of fraud perpetrated by Motherisk founder Dr Gideon Koren, complete with threats of countersuit, piles of falsified research papers in publication, repeated denial and then being caught, and losing his license to practice medicine at age 70+

eye-opening to see this information given the status of US AMA Physicians these days, in income, authority and protection from meaningful punishment

also the psychology of using authority to remove children from the care of their biological mother, over and over and over.. combined with academic hubris publishing falsified research over and over and over.. combined with prominent cultural activities.. this individual has done a lot of harm in a way that defeats trust and true authority

Station wagon won’t pull 10,000+ lbs.
looks great! I have a question about backing up my mac. Let’s say my mac is stolen/dropped from a bridge. Can I actually restore everything on a new mac, or still need to install and configure from scratch and “just” have a backup of documents, images etc?

Afaik, all European nations burn some of their garbage. Here is a list of German incinerators: https://www.umweltbundesamt.de/sites/default/files/medien/37.... I think, the heat is barely used for warming houses, but then, most people don't want to have an incinerator in their neighborhood.

The European power grid is very much already a thing and France exported 9.5 TWh of power to Germany last year (and imported 3.7TWh): https://energy-charts.info/charts/import_export/chart.htm?l=....

I think the cards a pretty much on the table at this point. What's left is various industry groups trying to get a bigger share of the to be invested money. Some think that the war won't last long enough for the next winter and as Russia 'has always delivered', it won't be an issue anyways. Also, there are still coal back-up plants. It wouldn't be nice but people will not die because of this.
Interesting! Any idea how hard is it to include an MMU? Or better yet, what's the cheapest application processor?
If you need to run the code to make sure it works, you probably need tests for it. Tests + CI makes running code being reviewed pointless.
For FIDO, which was the main topic of the original post, the Yubikey has a symmetric key inside it.

Choosing a random new key invalidates all your existing credentials enrolled with that Yubikey, since your Yubikey will no longer be able to decrypt the identifier provided and sign proof that it knows the associated private key (in practice what it decrypted was your private key for that account, and now it can't do that)

This "reset" operation is supported on Yubikeys, and you perhaps should do it when you get the key (Don't do it now! It invalidates your credentials as I described!), although most users probably don't. However, even if you do this if your key is fake why would the initialisation actually work? The same adversary could modify it to just ignore this reset attempt and use a symmetric key they know. So there is no benefit from hypothetically requiring you to perform this initialisation step, nor from having the device do it when first used.
If we do this then the oil companies should be on the hook for all cleanup costs no more of the situation in places like Texas where the oil companies get the tax payers to pay for their damage.

They should also be questioned as to why they have so many leases they haven't used and why the active wells in the Permian Basis are not running at their max safe rate of extraction currently.
As a user I have the complete opposite objections: I do not see why I would have Uber run JavaScript on my machine just for them to know how well their campaigns are working, while I totally want advertisement that is highly targeted to me.
I've read it a few times and think that's a fine take. What's your issue with it?
You could, but would you, really.

Forced pair programming is an antipattern. It's a recipe for burning your best workers.

At 4 digits, with a 10 character alphabet, you are looking at a 1% reduction in pin space. Contrast this with the 90% reduction in pin-space you get by not using a 5th digit.
It's about self-replication, adaption and "scale-free properties".

Consider that touch on the surface of my skin, which can be a few atoms of some object brushing a single cell -- that somehow "recuses up" the organic structure of my body (cell, tissue, organ, ...) both adapting it and coming to be "symbolically objectified" in my reasoning as "a scratch".

The relevant properties here are those that enable similar kinds of adaption (and physiological response) at all relevant scales from the cell to the organ to the whole-body.

I think cells-oragans-bodys are implementations of "scale-free adaption algorithms" (if you want to put it in those terms), which enable implementation of "higher-order intelligence algorithms".

If you want much much more than this, then even if I had the answer, it wouldnt be comment-sized, i'd be a textbook. But of course, no one has that textbook, or else we wouldnt be talking about this.

I think if you see cells as extremely self-reorganizing systems, and bodies as "recursive scale-free" compositions of "self-reorganizing adaptive systems", then you get somewhere towards the kinds of properties i'm talking about.

I think my ability to type because i can think, is a matter of that "organic recursion" from the sub-cellular to the whole-body.
I think people are just lying.
"the better defense against brute forcing is to wipe the data after too many failures."

Is it though? I thought some intelligence agencies have the ability to bypass the tries counter. In that case, the password would still trigger the wipe. That's not as easy to defeat because they don't know what password to avoid during the attempt, as opposed to knowing that after 10 tries it will wipe.

And how often does your average person need to pull 5 tons of stuff?
Fluently? No. But I can at least somewhat express myself in German, Japanese, and Spanish. I can haltingly hold conversation in German and read enough to get most details from the Christmas letters from family there. It's my best of the 3.
Collecting data about what you did is not necessarily spying. If a game keeps tracks of my wins. That's not spying even though it's collecting data on what I did.
Seems like most folks are responding on the level of individual vehicle owners, who ostensibly deserve what they get for buying a hummer (a view I'm sympathetic to), but separate from all of that: Russia continues to be able to sell oil and gas, and high oil/gas prices bolster their revenues, blunt the effects of Western sanctions, and fund the continued war effort. There's a geopolitical interest in wanting to bring down oil prices, in addition to the domestic-political one.

Increasing production might be an option. Loosening sanctions on Venezuela and/or Iran might be another. We may have to pick our battles.
Innovation is simply building something better. (Societal) progress is subjective, which is why you could probably run a survey and any respondents with marketing degrees would likely indeed call this "progress" towards a better-understood society..
Right. So drive thirty minutes in one direction, rent a truck, drive home, pick up the lawnmower, take it to the shop (for instance), then take the truck back, then drive home. Then do it again in a week when the lawnmower is fixed.

Or have a truck.
You don't mention where you live, but that last one suggests to me that you might consider moving to a different part of the country: I know several people, including myself, who carry sidearms. Where I live, everyone can do it, some people do do it, but no one gets upset by it or cares that much.
I've been meaning to hack together some scripts to automate the whole process, with an accompanying writeup, but I've been lazy. Your comment made me want to get this done though, thanks :-)

Short summary: I go see the property, take properly geolocated photos in several important parts of it, trying to keep the camera level and pointed in known directions (or verift that the compass is calibrated), and trying to keep easily visible landmarks and buildings in view. Then I go to my country's mapping authority website and find the property and the same landmarks and buildings, and simply re-create them as super-crude rectangles in a Stellarium landscape. I open the landscape, set the location, and then check out where the sun is in the sky at several times per year.

What I wanna automate is importing a digital elevation model (many countries offer this under a liberal license), and perhaps stitching the aforementioned photos into the Stellarium landscape (although I bet this provides little actual value).
I have a rule in Thunderbird that puts all email that comes from senders not in my contacts in a special folder.
I think if you set up TOTP the emails will stop.
Good idea. Prices aren't bad: (last I checked)

Home Depot rental truck prices start at $19 for the first 75 minutes, and then $5 for every 15 minutes thereafter.

So 3 hours would only be $59... assuming it's unlimited mileage.

Comparing to U-haul, which charges $1/mile, for $59, you could drive 40 miles, for the whole day.

Either way, doing this once a month costs under $1000/yr. Saving on gas, loan payments, and maybe insurance.
You are right, didn't think of that
I integrated JSymSpell[0] into KeenWrite[1], which is based on SymSpell[2]. The algorithm provides numerous suggestions for "plannin'", with "planning" being the first hit[3]. Despite the English lexicon[4] not including all words for all localizations (US/UK) the results have been adequate for my use so far.

That paper isn't telling us anything new though. It's not telling us that mental health predicts homelessness, only that the homeless are disproportionately mentally ill. I'm mentally ill and make six figures as a software engineer. SWEs are disproportionately AD(H)D but it's not seen as a problem.

From what you linked:
"A qualitative study highlighted the basic human needs that often take priority over seeking psychiatric care. Access to adequate nutrition, water, shelter, and protection from the elements are the reality homeless individuals encounter daily, and these issues take priority over psychiatric needs, which are often not addressed until a crisis occurs."

Forcing the homeless into psychiatric care without their consent is skirting around why psychiatric care is currently inaccessible. People die rationing insulin, something tells me Uncle Sam isn't going to provide bipolar people on the street with free lithium. Plus people have good reason to distrust their doctor, a non-zero portion of homeless people ended up there after being prescribed Oxy and getting addicted to opiates. Substance abuse is driving most of the disparate health outcomes, and is a mental health issue but more importantly a public health one. The US as evidenced by the lack of a pandemic response does not care much about the public health.

I have good insurance. And supportive parents. I found navigating my diagnosis and care difficult, and I don't live on the street. I feel as though some of the commentators here have never experienced poverty nor can they empathize at a basic level with the struggle. It just seems as though psychiatric wards are meant to disappear these people since we can't disappear the underlying problem: commodification of shelter, water, food, knowledge.
I remember a few companies ago we had a system that would deploy every branch to a separate subdomain (same name as the PR) that you could access. It was fantastically useful for just seeing what the deployed code would look like. I think (for UI things at least) this is a very reasonable solution.

Wish I could remember the github service that did this?
I see. Of course the North Atlantic current will change/stop at some point regardless of any actions we take (assuming we don’t have technology to keep it going somehow). But delaying that as long as possible is a noble goal.
I have to say I never used an antivirus software before except I guess the built-in one in Windows.

I think sandboxes are better for software you don't trust. I imagine antivirus heuristics are only useful against a handful of common threats, if at all.
I'd really like the ability to lock down issues and pull requests to only trusted collaborators to avoid support requests and all the low information bug reports, complaints and showerthoughts about features that would take 1,000s of hours to fulfill.
Was looking quite long for the company behind this and expected a B2B offering to be located at "Company", not an about us.

Big part of Euro wars were caused partially by multinational empires. WW1 - Austro-Hungary and Russian empire. WW2 - Soviet Union. Yugoslavian wars if in the middle between Serbian chauvinism and Yugo multinational empire as well.

Meanwhile US had plenty of action in this department too.
It might surprise you that the overwhelming majority who buy trucks do so because they work a blue collar occupation such as construction, electrician, etc. not because they want to "roll coal" on your overpriced Tesla. These folks generally don't have a 500k/year WFH FAANG gig and yes filling up your truck so you can work makes the difference in how much food you can put on the table.

"Let them drive EVs" has turned into a modern day SV version of the Marie Antoinette (mis)quote.

Where do you suppose they plug these EVs in at the jobsite? The elephant in the room that no one addresses being the complete lack of EV infrastructure.

That is the trouble with good satire. It needs to be subtle enough that readers feel the pull of the thing being satirized, or there's no real lesson in it. But if it's too subtle, people will miss the point. In practice, it's impossible to get every person to hit both gates. Poe's Law [1] was coined before Starship Troopers, but it certainly applies.

323 is just questioning why Germany doesn't reverse a seemingly obvious miscalculation. No need to assume a troll from that. And 10 billion euros are 125 € per German inhabitant, the pre-war price hike has caused multiple times that much 'damage'.
Author of the post here - Thank you and appreciate the submission.
It's usual BS that they do to keep their polling numbers. In addition, it's a tool to keep those officials loyal to Putin's regime. It's fragile, it barely holds. The coup is near.
I was arguing for nuance, not arguing that everyone needs a truck. Rural folks, blue collar folks, and folks that need to build and fix things themselves get comparatively more utility from a truck. In some cases, it's a practical necessity.

Someone has to plow the neighborhood. Someone has to drive the power washer to the worksite. And so on.

And the farther you live from a city, the more likely that someone is either you or someone who trusts you enough to borrow their truck.
You're probably right he doesn't, and consequently his post was not about what you're describing. I live in the suburbs, < 5 minutes from almost every conceivable material good, with all delivery options, and I'm frequently the lone sedan stopped at the light, surrounded by F-150s, Escalades, Land Rover's that have never left the pavement, and every other sort of towering, vanity vehicle with a single occupant. It's not uncommon to drive past large homes, with 3 and 4 SUVs/trucks out front, maybe a lone Tesla.

I have zero problems with the situation you describe, which is a household having a truck or SUV out of practical need.
I'm an European who lives in the conditions you described and I'm doing just fine with a small hatchback.
Yep, as a dutchman I'm amazed at the amount of German people not being able to speak English. They usually take for granted that dutch people will just speak German to them, which I can't, even after 4years of high school German.
Populated Canada is significantly smaller in population and area, uses fuel & emissions standards from the US (NA auto market), and also has very cheap $4 gas.
I would guess that's when the Cambridge Analytics thing became well known, where they were using Facebook's network/data graphs to compile their own compiled and targeted data.
It's an expressive, pure, statically typed functional programming language with a large enough package registry, community and optimized enough runtime/compiler.

Breaking down the benefits of each:

- Expressive: you can model things with greater fidelity

- Pure: you know when your code performs side effects, so you're in for fewer surprises

- Statically typed: you learn about things at compile time, not in production. You also need to write fewer tests.

- Large pkg registry: fewer things to implement yourself (compared to, say, Idris)

- Large community: fewer problems you'll be the first one to discover/solve

- Optimized enough compiler: compile times can be _acceptable_

- Optimized enough runtime: your app will be fast enough without you having to care much about it

Now one point that isn't obvious from all this and that is a big selling point for my company is how much of a breeze refactoring is. Types give you more guarantees around how your code behaves, so there's classes of mistakes you can't make, and won't have to rely on a super strict test suite to prevent you from making.

Newhire submitting a PR changing 25 files all over the codebase? Business as usual.
To pile on, not even two weeks ago the current administration decided to enact a policy of "indefinitely freezing decisions about new federal oil and gas drilling[0]."

Hard to say if the current situation will cause a reversal of that policy, but it will be used mercilessly by the political opposition in the upcoming elections.

Hello! Author of the post here -

Yeah I agree, it's certainly a bit wasteful, especially during the operation. You can clean up the table automatically in the end with --drop. Love the concept and path with Reshape btw, I think its very innovative.
I know none of y'all asked, but absolutely love my email system.

My inbox is my to-do list. If there is an email there, a follow-up action is required. This means that I'm militant about archiving any email that doesn't need to be in my inbox. I've been doing this for at least ten years.

Since last year, I also use Abine's Blur for creating virtual disposable email addresses. (Basically iCloud Hidden Emails before it was cool.) these email addresses forward to my actual email addresses and can be replied to. Everything that asks for emails that could become noisy subscriptions gets a Blur email. If the emails get insanely spammy, I delete the email address. Spam over.

I also have a few email aliases for things like bills, receipts, invoices, etc. Since approx 2.5 years ago, these forward to an email that forwards those emails to Expensify. I also have spend alerts set up with all of my credit card companies and bank accounts, so anything I don't get receipts for also gets sent to Expensify. Subsequently, I have a detailed record of all of my budgeted and unbudgeted expenses broken up by week.
Why do you think Epic would want to close down Bandcamp? They are not in competition. Sure they may well pivot it away from what makes it desirable now, but I can't see them closing it down any time soon.

It's a file level backup (as opposed to an image or disk backup). So anything related to the operating system is not backed up but all your "data" (documents, photos, music, movies, etc) is. Here is a support page that explains what is backed up by default (which you can ofc change) [1].

But it's not the cut from the middleman that's gone down as a result (in fact there's whole new layers of middlemen), rather the variety of artists making a living wage from industry contracts. "Working musicians" are dying off; you're either a superstar, or you're living on ramen or doing it as a side gig. Overall the result is pretty bad for a society which values professional artists.
