Maybe the author is talking about devices that are asleep/off? They mention "weeks" at one point, making me think that the AirTags wake the devices from sleep often, which you'll notice in an iPad that dies after one week instead of a month while sleeping, but not in a phone that you charge every day.

A lot of older people also have settled down, have bigger flats or houses and aren't so badly affected as young people. Having to do with kids a lot my experience has been, that the last two years have been brutal for those in puberty e.g. The people between 12 and 30 really have been, and you will find this to be statistically evaluated, hit the hardest in terms of mental health issues on average. So from their viewpoint it is imho a valid question to ask how much they sould be willing to hold back anymore and ignore the things that are important in the lives of the young.
>To an epidemiologist, an endemic infection is one in which overall rates are static — not rising, not falling. More precisely, it means that the proportion of people who can get sick balances out the ‘basic reproduction number’ of the virus, the number of individuals that an infected individual would infect, assuming a population in which everyone could get sick.

>So were you going through life wearing a mask to mitigate the risk of a deadly flu in 2018 and before? I think probably not, but if your priority is risk mitigation, shouldn't you have been?

During flu season? Of course. As well as soon any cold symptoms were felt. My institution would also issue stay-at-home recommendations during flu outbreaks.
Interestingly, that is not at all the view of real soldiers, involved in life-and-death, existential conflict. Damage to enemy civilians must be minimized and be proportional to the purpose. You can't nuke a town because someone threw a rock at you, for example. Remember that goes for both sides: If you nuke their town, then your civilians are likely to suffer the same or worse. Among real soldiers, the 'anything goes' mentality is the mindset of war criminals.

I have no expertise in the subject, but I assume the weapons stuff can be seen as simple economic relations between the West and Ukraine which is somewhat regulated (like buying food or petrol), whereas shooting down an airplane for them is not - that's a pretty direct war declaration.

Hitler does appear to have actually read the books as evidenced by the passages marked by coloring pencil. There is not any ready evidence that he gleaned any deep wisdom or moral edification from his reading, and it is far more likely, given his temperament, that he only read to reinforce his prejudices, and that he would become furiously impatient with anything he did not readily understand.

Given that, it is one of history's great disappointments that Martin Heidegger never met his hero. One could imagine Der Fueherer's face twitching in increasing rage as Heidegger effused about the great leader's seminal position in the hierarchy of being-in-the-world, leading in short order to a defenestration.

That's not saying much; our standards are incredibly low.

> Caltrain is pretty awesome

Caltrain is awesome if you are one of the rare few who live within walking distance of a station and your destination is within walking distance of a station, or if only one of those two things is true, but your local Caltrain station has a parking lot that you can afford, or there's actually good bus service to get you the last mile.

Unfortunately, those conditions are not true for many, many people.

On top of that, Caltrain is ridiculously slow, and doesn't run anywhere near frequently enough, even during rush hour.

It seems though that glibc was inspired by musl to move away from many small shared libraries to a single one, namely the dynamic linker executable also being lib{c,m,...}.

It's not at the same level, but it's progress...
Well, finally an an area of expertise of mine. And with 215 comments already. What more to add?

I drive my saabs every day. My daily driver is an old 900 turbo hatchback from the 80s. It's a constant work-in-progress as I fix it and it degrades from the beatings and many miles I give it.

I drive my 60's saab on the weekend, rolling around town on a light footprint with a engine that was actually manufactured by Ford for skidsteers, and made its way into Saab because of emissions requirements.

I sometimes drive my convertible, another 900 turbo, though mostly my mother gets the pleasure of using it.

I don't often drive my 9000 Aero, even though it's the most comfortable and modern of my Saabs, it feels like a whale. A fast whale, but I don't drive it often.

I recently acquired a base model 900 from the 90s... It has no turbo, no stick shift, no go-fast-parts. It's such a lovely around-towner I have been driving it any time I don't have to hit the highway.

I love saab. I love 80's saab. I think it's close to my dream car. When I get older, I will spend the time manufacturing upgrades to this vehicle badly needed from the factory. Maybe a better transmission. An improved rear axle would be fantastic. Common failures I have started to meter out with 3D printed parts - and sourcing them from other manufactures.

What you hear about parts is mostly rubbish. Saab made a car, bosch built everything else from the ECU and electrical sensors, to the waterpumps and brake pads. If you get smart you can find and make work crossover bits.

Right now we're trying to locate some VW distributors that have a hall sensor built in for a 4 cylinder. They're fairly close (also Bosch) to the saab 900 (pre 90) distributors, and are still available. If I can make that work on my 900 - we have many more good years on the road.

All in all... ask me anything about saab from the 60's to the 2000s. I've worked on them all and love them dearly.

> Maybe is that why I see Solana on the front-page of Stripe Crypto?

This would be a great argument if Solana were the only cryptocurrency that Stripe was supporting, or if Stripe was only supporting cryptocurrencies with similar carbon footprints, but the top image above the fold is a screenshot of using Stripe to purchase Bitcoin. ETH and other PoW blockchains are also featured on the page.

My core argument is that supporting PoW blockchains does more damage than their carbon recapture efforts reduce. The presence of Solana in the list doesn't invalidate that.

Propaganda about road engineering written by road engineers. Can you request these "studies"? Any data to share, post-project?

Induced demand is real, that's true. But the degree to which it changes things is highly suspect. Restricting a lane increases congestion in the other lanes. It encourages the far-left lane to make more extreme lane changes (people tend to stay in the fast lane as long as possible, then need to quickly cross 4 lanes to exit). And because it slows normal people down, it increases traffic on non-highways, which has a large number of negative issues: more severe accidents (head-ons and 90-degree impacts are quite rare on divided highways), more idling (more traffic at red lights, which then leads to more drivers having to wait 2 cycles), more pedestrian accidents and more traffic near schools, etc.

Artificial bottlenecks are not an improvement, if the true goal is to increase overall traffic throughput. If the goal is simply to raise revenue for the government, wink wink, then it works great.
If two individuals perform exactly the same role, then yes, I think it's fairly clear that their compensation should be the same and that (in any progressive society) it would be illegal for employers not to ensure that.

However, for environments where job offers are made individually and work tasks vary: would there be a problem with paying women more (or, equivalently, paying men less) until the gender averages become equal?

(in those latter environments, I don't think job output measurement is particularly precise as-is (I could be mistaken), so it seems like it should be a fairly easy for organizations to address it)
Yeah, I noticed that about the Chaucer book, but I didn't bother checking most of the others. Interesting. So maybe Postgres did invent the word!

I've been waffling between whether or not I think this is a good thing. I am curious on your thoughts:

A lot of malicious actors have learned how to game the search ranking algorithms by making carefully crafted lies that are easily spread as truths online quickly. They are able to get their fake news to spread (and this rank higher) in ways that legitimate sources can't.

Most people only ever look at the first page of results when searching for answers, and, let's be honest, take those answers for the truth.

If you were a search engine provider and knew that viral, fake stories were able to do that, wouldn't not taking action also be making a decision about what you can and can't see? Inaction, in this case, would be tacit approval.

Also you can still search for stories about how Russia is presenting the war, but you have to specifically look for it
https://www.SpacePowerMonkey.com

I agree we need new and federated institutions — particularly around things like intelligence.
Yes, the thinking is that to actually enforce a no-fly zone would require NATO aircraft to attack Russian aircraft that attempt to violate the zone, thus escalating into a war between NATO and Russia. Supplying weapons or intelligence to Ukraine can be done "under the radar" so to speak, without engaging in actual fighting.

> This has nothing to do with studies. The US Dollar is designed to lose value relative to other assets over time. You have to allocate your dollars into other assets to mitigate this effect.

What are you talking about? This is a non-sequitur. My assertion is there aren't well covered, multiple independent academic studies to answer questions like, "If you invested consistently into US equities during periods of overvaluation versus holding bonds, cash, or cash equivalents would your performance over time have surpassed a 100% equity portfolio with no rebalancing?" Instead you ramble on about the US dollar. Yes, it's common knowledge inflation targets exist; that's not my point.

You don't even seem to have remedial knowledge of what I'm talking about.

For example, it's common knowledge that 60/40 portfolios are subject to less volatility than 100% equity portfolios, but within 100% equity portfolios are there instances in which you want to wait for mechanical limits to come down?[3] I believe there are.

The gender pay gap as it is calculated, ascribes all of the difference between men and women's pay to one thing: gender discrimination.

Women seeking out higher-earning partners? Women taking less high-paying, high-stress or STEM jobs? Men working harder jobs, retiring later and dying earlier?

All gender discrimination that benefits men because in the aggregate, they earn more.

They studiously ignore life choices, they don't compare men vs women at the same level or in the same position, and they definitely don't exhort women to take higher-paying jobs or date men earning less than them.

Meanwhile my experience is that women in tech are absolutely welcome and paid just as well as men.

At this price I believe Optery still provides more value than easyoptouts. For $9.99, half the price of easyoptouts, you could let Optery’s opt out bot run for 30 days on 100+ data brokers and then cancel the plan before the next monthly payment is due. For $24.99, about the same price as easyoptouts, you could let Optery’s opt out bot run for 30 days on 200+ data brokers and then cancel the plan before the next monthly payment is due.

By cancelling the plan, you wouldn’t benefit from the ongoing scanning, monitoring, and removals from companies that take longer than 30 days, or the coverage for the new data brokers continually being added to the plans. But Optery’s Free Basic plan provides free quarterly scans and reports, so you could always turn it back on based on what the reports are saying.
I've tried alpine's gcc before and it was about 50% slower to compile a bunch of packages. That said, if you compile llvm with MinSize/-Os on glibc distro's it runs 50% slower too, so it's unclear if slowdown is due to musl libc or rather that they optimize for size instead of performance.
My friend is in Highway Patrol. He absolutely hates these lanes because they are impossible to enforce for this very reason. There are a ton of rules and exemptions and he has to try and verify that the number on the sign matches the number of people in the car in a split second.

He basically admitted to me that it's based on the honor system, he has no real way to enforce that the number is correct unless it's a convertible with the top down.

As I understand it your technology is in part about providing a scaffolding that
enables normal animal cells to grow. But there's a question that I genuinely think is important, but risk sounding like a troll. The qualities of a successful cancerous cell, to grow without restraint, unimpeded by the density of other cells or whether the cell is attached to a surface, will probably be even more successful in a bio-reactor than they would be in an organism where unconstrained growth will undermine the health of the the animal and the supply of energy and nutrients to the cell. This leads me to wonder whether cells with cancer like qualities - deranged karyotypes and unregulated cell division will become common in meat cell cultures. Does this seem reasonable? Is it a health issue, or do we perhaps not know yet? It's certainly a bit creepy.

But compared to Kahn academy I miss that each test (set of question) is not focused on one single new concept.

When using Kahn academy, the sequencing is basically

1- watch video about 1 new concept you do not already know
2- try to do a bunch of question about that new concept to make sure you master it
3- if not go back to step #1 but if you master it (progress to the next concept)

It feels more like a video game where you unlock level sequentially and it is more fun.
