_Obviously_ until conclusive double blind controlled studies have been done, this is all hypothesis.

The science behind the "longevity clock check" with by testing methaliations seems legit though doesn't it? I'm just a dude on the internet so would love some advice from somebody in the field.

But if that test is real, then it's a mater of time now isn't it? We wouldn't need to wait decades for people to die off so we can prove anything, we can just test with this clock, and in a couple of years we'll have results. I for one am quite excited about the whole thing.

While in his book he is less so, I think he seems pretty straight forward on his podcast by what has been tested with what, and how dubious the science of the various claims is. He admits a lot about some mechanism that they have no idea how it works, just that it does in various model organisms.

Anyway fasting and exercise have been linked to longevity for literally millennia by various religions largely unconnected with each other. I gather that we're now just trying to understand the mechanisms how all of this actually works.

I personally am trying the things on myself that have been proven to not cause harm, and seeing how it affects me. For now I've settled on reduced sugar in my diet, cut out gluten, stoped doing breakfast, started excising and do an occasional (2-3 times a year 4+ days water fasting). Seems to have kept the gray out of my hair for now - a lot of the friends in my age group already have it. Will see how that "no lunch" affects to me. All anecdotal of course.

There are plenty of efforts to improve JPEG compression while retaining compatibility with existing decoders. But there's only so much you can do without breaking decoder compatibility, and if you do that then that's a new format whether you call it JPEG or not. It would be super confusing to have .jpg files that wouldn't work in existing software.

JPEG XL is a new format with a new file extension jxl, but it does have backwards compatibility features that look pretty nice. Maybe that's what you want.
The whiskers are related to tin.

The only reason for using tin is soldering. Tin is used because it is the only metal with the right melting temperature, neither too low nor too high.

When you do not use soldering, you do not need tin. While it is possible for whiskers to also form on other metals, the chances of this happening are negligible in comparison with tin.

So yes, the only reason for whiskers being a serious problem is the need to use soldering.
SO the bank robber (alleged) is smart enough to get a series of extremely good lawyers to crush the constitutionality of a now fairly common court order - but not smart enough to leave the tracking device at home when he (allegedly) robs a bank?

I dont like the tracking anymore than the next, but then I do enjoy dumb criminal stories as well.

RE ".....How can I trust that my supplier actually did the right tests? Do I just trust that they follow whatever spec (that passes CE) Espressif gave them and that's enough?..."

This is a very important point. It is not unknown for products to have completely fake certifications including a fake lab report and fake certificates. What you need to do is ask for certification report and certification certificate. These documents will show the testing lab. It should be accredited to do the test. You need to contact the claimed testing lab and quote the approval number and check all the approval details match . ie the company, product is correct. Could also get a test lab of your choice to review the accreditation documents and product to verify them ( not retesting) just review to check accreditation.
The FSF isn't the EFF. The FSF is supposed to advocate why the stupid law is an affront to user freedom and the EFF is meant to be advocating why the stupid law makes people vulnerable to criminals.

The FSF has a complicated and niche advocacy position, they should stay focused. If they don't advocate software user freedom, nobody will. In this case, there are already lots of people against encryption restrictions.

> But not singer, Stalin liked them to much.

This is not true. It took super little searching to find Vadim Kozin and Lidia Ruslanova. And it is not like I would be an expert. The reason I searched was that this anecdote makes zero sense in the context of how Russia under Stalin or Stalin himself operated. Liking something too much would not prevent either from crushing that something hard.

Depending on how the BIOS communicates to the speakers (or especially if what they mean by speaker is the beeper on the motherboard) doing it this "weird" musical way bypassing the OS might be much simpler.
That's why the only acceptable way to compare codecs is to have two images of exactly the same size. At significantly different sizes, the compression artifacts will be different enough that the comparison becomes subjective, at best.

Where in the hell are you getting 10% from? Ukraine has a multi-party government and their neo-nazis don't have even a single seat in their rather large parliament.
According to the article you've cited the SPD budget was 401, 363, and 355 for the years 2020, 2021, and 2022 respectively. That seems like three years of successive cuts to me.

Your article mentions that the council says "there are no cuts functionally for SPD". So, on the one hand, we have the steadily declining raw number, and, on the other hand, we have the preferred phrasing of some politicians. To me, the number seems more significant.
Twitter is now deep into the “every new release makes the product worse” stage of life.

Consider the list of people interviewed about Revolution of Dignity - Vladimir Putin, Viktor Yanukovych (Putin's stooge, who was supposed to win election through electoral meddling and hacking which failed spectacularly live on stage), concentrating the idea of Ukrainian nationalism to start with Cossacks instead of Kievan Rus (a "viking" state centered around Kyiv, the other "viking" state being Novgorod of old).

Also, as much as I hate Azov battalion it's ~600 people today (vs. much smaller numbers in 2014), not some giant unit.

It also peddles conspiracy theories about US involvement, when the reality was that West might have provided observers that helped prevent electoral meddling (I'd give credit to Ukrainians, honestly), the history of western involvement in Russia-Ukraine war since 2014 till quite recently was mostly pushing Ukraine into appeasement.

It's funny to realize that onigiri are probably some of the worst offenders when it comes to centralized fillings. But I personally would never think to complain about those kombini onigiri.

Don't forget other key points...

You can easily be shadowbanned by Twitter for complaining about Twitter on Twitter.

They send you accounts fake and delayed notices to drive engagement.

Muting words and phrases has not worked for years.

They interact with other apps and track words you type and use them to push content and ads to you, likely even when you have the setting for third party data disabled.

The interest keywords associated with your account cannot be changed, it is a pool of data gathered from people you follow and what you've typed over the life of running you account, it often locks you into an information bubble that dictates everything you see for the life of each account, and it also ensures that each use has a customized (yet individually/uniquely frustrating) experience that can't properly be explained nor replicated by any other user.

That 8-10% sounds wildly overestimated. Furthermore, neo-Nazis tend to be young males, who can't even quit the country now and are mobilised in the army, not to mention that a neo-Nazi is the type of person to die for their country(really not saying that as a positive), so the number of neo-Nazi refugees should be in the tens of people, not hundreds of thousands.

I agree, toast "bread" shouldn't be called bread. It's off-putting and spongy, it just screams "synthetic" to me. I hate it.
What I gather is that eating less = living longer, and living better. Skipping lunch "feels hard" only at first, supposedly. Friends have been doing the no lunch thing for other reasons and report that after several weeks you just don't feel the need to lunch at all.

For me that sounds like a little bit of hardship now, for a big gain afterwards. I get the time to think about / prepare lunch back, and can now enjoy my dinners way more, as I don't need to really think and restrain myself on how much I eat then.

Obviously I wouldn't trade feeling bad for the rest of my life for a longer life, but it seems that's not what's happening, hopefully. It's more like "invest a bit of pain now, gain a lot of pleasure later" kinda dynamic. But I'm in the middle of this thing though so we'll see :)
In the case of FogBugz, the muck is the problem they decided to create for themselves (lots of targets to run on) that justifies solving the non-core business problem (creating Wasabi[1]).

And still, no country has prison populations as large as the US, neither in absolute numbers nor by capita. I know very respectable (and, as this may be relevant in that area: very white) coworkers who would never go to the States because they live in fear of getting in a traffic stop and accidentally getting shot. Obviously, the problem is not being "too lenient on crime".
Older motherboards only had a buzzer which could play a tone at a given frequency. Mostly they just beeped but you could use them to play a crude song, if you were so inclined. In high school I wrote a VBA macro for Word which would do this - good times!

I’d guess someone was having fun and left in the wrong code. Usually the manual would explain the buzzer meanings, e.g 4 beeps is overheat, 3 is bad memory, etc. Nowadays there’s a proper speaker and an audible message.

For me, the rise in blood pressure isn't worth sometimes seeing an interesting tweet.
This is the copy/paste response I got from Duckworth: (Which is disappointing)

Thank you for contacting me about S. 3538, Eliminating Abusive and Rampant Neglect of Interactive Technologies (EARN IT) Act of 2022. I appreciate you taking the time to make me aware of your concerns on this important matter.

The EARN IT Act would establish a National Commission on Online Child Sexual Exploitation Prevention, which would be responsible for developing recommended best practices for providers of interactive computer services, such as email or cloud storage providers or social media services like Facebook or WhatsApp. These best practices would pertain to how best to prevent, reduce or respond to the online sexual exploitation of children, in particular the proliferation of online child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

This bill would also amend Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996. Section 230 in its current form creates a so-called “safe harbor” for providers of interactive computer services from legal or civil liability for the content posted on their sites. For example, if a user posts defamatory information on Twitter that individual may be sued and held liable, but Twitter as a company may not be held liable. The EARN IT Act would require these service providers to earn that safe harbor by complying with the recommended best practices developed by the Commission. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina introduced the bipartisan EARN IT Act on January 31, 2022, and it was referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

The proliferation of child sexual abuse material has a devastating effect on its victims, their families and their communities. Like you, I believe there is no place in society for this material. However, some internet privacy advocates have expressed concern that the EARN IT Act may unintentionally drive CSAM purveyors into the dark net, where these horrific criminals would become more difficult to track, identify and ultimately build a case that is required for a successful prosecution. Please know that I will keep your thoughts in mind should a majority of the Judiciary Committee decide to favorably report S. 3538 to the full Senate for consideration.

Thank you again for contacting me on this important issue. If you would like more information on my work in the Senate, please visit my website at www.duckworth.senate.gov. You can access my voting record and see what I am doing to address today’s most important issues. I hope that you will continue to share your views and opinions with me and let me know whenever I may be of assistance to you.

Sincerely,

Okay. You might end up millions poorer. But at what cost?

I once had an offer that was 20 percent higher than the current salary I received at that time. I passed on it. I valued working with my coworkers more.

I have a standard of living that is fine by me. I do not complain. My SO was able to go back to university and we still have our house, are able to pay the mortgage, put aside play and emergency money.

Sure. I could already make more money. But to what end? What should I do with it? I would probably increase the amount of money I donate as I did with every raise. I would put more into my retirement fund. Other than that? I would probably buy more crap.

Why should I care about theoretically making millions more (or hundreds of thousands in Germany to be more realistic). I enjoy the fact that I can trust in my colleagues offering help and trusting my knowledge and my opinion. We know each other well enough to trust each other and have a good relationship. We can be vulnerable with each other.

Something I did not have before.

Why would I throw this away just because I theoretically could make a few bucks more?

Wow. I just realized why I value my team/environment so much (and believe me, there are a ton of things I am unnerved about at my current job regarding processes from the parent company).
They (BMW drivers) can always drive their cars like normal people, not smashing the foot on the gas pedal.
Israel refused to sell the Iron Dome and similar systems to Ukraine, so not everyone.
But in the eyes of the bigot their bigotry is totally justified.

So it all boils down to "but I am right, trust me, my bigotry is totally justified"

But yes, you're right with your assessment, that I view being tolerant as an absolute state.

From my point of view being "a little" tolerant or "being 98% tolerant" is the same as not being tolerant at all.

Being tolerant doesn't mean that I won't defend my values or stand in between a bully (or worse) and their victim.

It just means, that I can totally bear it to live next door to Nazis (which sadly in my country isn't too uncommon) without actively attacking them.
You call a "gradual migration path strategy" ironic? You do you, I suppose.
I don't think they're aiming for mass adoption. In fact I think I remember them saying in their FAQs that they "absolutely not a Google killer"
My rule of thumb is pick someone who you'd want to be stuck in a zombie apocalypse with. A married couple is a single unit, not two individuals.
Yes, I skipped or paraphrased those parts of the bill to keep things short in a way that I thought made sense. But I think the message is unchanged with the full text. Namely that Section 230 would be amended to also state:

"NO EFFECT ON CHILD SEXUAL EXPLOITATION LAW. Nothing in this section [NB Section 230] (other than subsection (c)(2)(A)) shall be construed to impair or limit ... any charge in a criminal prosecution brought against a provider of an interactive computer service under State law regarding the advertisement, promotion, presentation, distribution, or solicitation of child sexual abuse material, as defined in section 2256(8) of title 18, United States Code;"

And so Section 230 protections to content providers would cease to apply* in cases of child secual exploitation law, I think.

* EDIT: Except for those points that would be added to Section 230 specifically regarding E2EE
An egregious way internet providers do this now is to not only use your electricity, but also your internet bandwidth and router (!!) to create their so-called hotspot network. Obviously this is opt-out, poorly notified and hidden behind a bunch of dark patterns to disable.

Looking at your Xfinity, coverage across all of SF..
No (did that answer the kind of hidden but not ad hominem?)
Forgive me I’m out of line, the way I read your post is as follows, your long term partner is someone who you have/had fun with and enjoyed life and activities together. However they are limited to that because you might not respect them any more..because they are irresponsible.

Ultimately when it comes to kids, it’s my belief that having a reliable partner is important plus being in a committed monogamous relationship. But you also want someone with a sense of humour to laugh and alleviate stress in hard times. Having kids is hard work for two people let alone one if your partner is afk…you will not have as much time to find other partners or do as much outside of work and family.

> Every extra line of code is debt.

I think you are right, unneeded tests are debt especially because implementation evolves during development (and maintenance) which often means you have to rewrite the tests if you modify the implementation, or when you change the division of labor between public and private methods.
