Me too, then later the same again with libc5 to glibc. Obviously learned a ton about the system by manually reconstructing it that way (using only source tarballs, no packages).

Before this was the Napster era, then the MySpace era, then the SoundCloud era, and now the TikTok era. Somehow those damned labels keep figuring out.

I'm not sure if they "solve" this. In this current case, this was solved by working with the person that need the feature, rather than just tracking their usage of said feature.
>To test whether crows know and can analyze the contents of their brains, neurobiologist Andreas Nieder of the University of Tübingen in Germany trained two birds to peck a red or a blue target on a panel, depending whether they saw a faint light. Nieder kept varying the “rule,” with the birds told which color meant what — red = saw it, or blue = saw it — only after the flash. That required the crows, Glenn and Ozzy, to keep monitoring their brains; they had a second or two to figure out what they had seen and tell Nieder by choosing the corresponding target.

... I don't actually understand what this means. Am I dumb or is this just badly written? Can someone explain? What is Nieder actually doing here, and how does it test whether the crows are introspecting? How are they "told" which color meant what?
The OSI article even encourages banners and other such thing in ones work. If code is speech, then speech shouldn't be frowned upon when the coder uses it in their project.

The OSI is specially calling out an incident where someone actually put malware in their code which targeted Belarus and Russia. Totally unacceptable and not a form of protected protest at all, and arguably not speech.
Worth noting the artificial sweetners found to have correllations with increased risk of cancer are aspartame and acesulfame-K.

Sucralose, stevia, and others were not found to have an increased risk, but they were only present in a much smaller segment of the population (i.e. 10% used Sucralose) so they may not have enough representation to be ruled out.

You mean because a large chunk for R&D in medicine is done in the USA? Maybe that is because in the USA pharma companies can go mental about pricing their products, who wouldn't want such a lucrative market that's easy to exploit thanks to a well-oiled lobby machinery? I highly doubt that pharma companies would stop their R&D if the USA was to introduce universal healthcare for everyone of its citizens.
It's obviously true. Executing random binaries from the internet directly on your machine is clearly much less secure than executing a js script in an extremely hardened and restricted browser sandbox.

Trivializing the cost as "just $2500" speaks more about your privilege than it does anything else.
I think your statement on the security of desktop apps is a tad misinformed.

Desktop apps do have to adhere to the same system security permission that the browser provides. WebApps can be even more intrusive than a desktop app because you're constantly sending signals to a central set of servers with a unique browser fingerprint. You also lose control of updates, and would be completely unaware of new tracking dependencies being injected. The data you create with a web app is and always will be property of the company that manages it.

Desktop apps being packed into Flatpak is a good start to addressing sandboxing desktop apps, imo, and touches on your concerns as well.
Any specific reason you aren't showing the actual selling price on the "Recently Sold Startups" section?
Might be wrong, but I think they just mean that when you do large scale trials you aggregate over the population, and determine if the medication had a statistically significant effect. You can get evidence that a subgroup does not react well, but you might not, if that is not your focus.

A key concept and solution here is 'precision medicine', tailoring medicine based on more precise information about the individual.

"how effective are these sorts of statistical methods?"

Exactly they are so many variables to take into account that each population subset is becoming very small. I would love to have the insight of a stats nerd on the study.

Btw if you look at the raw data, they are for instance less cases per subject in the high consumer than in the low or none consumer (table 2), but they get a higher hazard ration, meaning that other correction were taken into account. It is very difficult to interpret such results.
Moneychangers in the temple don't funge with other businesses. The issue was blasphemy.
There’s lots of independent artists that are successful, you’re about 5 years late on the “…independent musicians will kill labels…” prediction which hasn’t been borne out. Musicians are actively choosing to sign to labels, even when they don’t have to… make of that what you will.
(Disclaimer, I generally am against cryptocurrency and I think it's at best pointless and at worst a scam)

This is overall an interesting idea. They have to burn the gas off, I'm assuming it's infeasible for them to send the electricity anywhere useful, so mining bitcoin let's them do something with the fuel they would otherwise just waste.

I wonder if the same idea could be improved upon to actually do something useful. For example, a portable GPU data centre, for ML model training? Maybe the bandwidth requirements are too high. Anyway, the concept is good (using waste fuel for on-site data processing), they just need to find a better application
Gotta hedge your bets, you never know what is going to happen.

Also, BTC has been used without a bank since inception – not sure what you mean by "practical".
The blogger does say the norms they propose are for 'the genteel corridors of long-form internet writing', which, as you say, make up a tiny portion of all 'internet debates'. This sort of writing is always 'with audience', and it is telling that the word 'glory' appears twice in the blog-post.

I think the blogger's missing forest is that it is nigh impossible to have an 'us vs the problem' debate unless 'you and me' both agree on the assumptions that frame the problem. If we do not first root out and address incongruous assumptions, we will forever talk past each other, no matter how many brass tacks we jump on, even if it seems to bystanders that we both speak the same language.

As an aside, I believe that a person's assumptions/beliefs are inseparable from who that person is (you are what you eat). For me, it is silly to critique an idea without much consideration about what person/people communicated that idea and why they believe it (assuming they do). I often find that the truth is not as cut and dry as I assumed. If your goal is 'internet glory', then sure, that is a waste of time. You are better off gaming engagement algorithms. But, if I may ride a high horse, mutual understanding is a sweeter nectar.

But this is not FIDO2 in CTAP (passwordless) mode, which is what the previous poster referred to. It's FIDO1 and it's not supported by default in SSH, only with some PAM plugins.

OpenSSH supports FIDO2 passwordless mode natively in the latest versions.
> But that one cable can charge all of the devices reliably right?

no ! some charge at low speed, some at high speed, some don't even connect properly, some only allow keeping using the device while some others make the device think it's connected to a computer - it's a freaking pain

Poor Joe Rogan just can't get a break while singing dangerous praises as though Gospel. He uses his platform irresponsibly, gives voice to crackpots and idiots, and is prone to disseminating misinformation, which makes him remarkably dangerous. Rogan, Hannity and Carlson are only for the weak-minded.
Walking is controlled falling
Cynical opinion:

- Most users, regardless of whether they purport to care about their privacy or security, don't even fundamentally understand either concept thoroughly enough to even appreciate that they're missing.

- Users are lazy (prefer web app over installation process, or even just taking the time to download a compiled portable binary). Devs are lazy ("why make 3 or 4 clients when we can make 1?"), on the basis that humanity is lazy. A desire to preserve energy and "take the easy way" is hard-coded into our DNA. It's ostensibly a good thing in most circumstances, just not this one.

- Younger people (a considerable chunk of my own generation included) are increasingly not functionally computer literate[1]. While virtually everyone is smartphone literate these days, I believe the days are numbered in which the laptop and desktop computer are used by anyone other than students, technology professionals, hobbyists, and serious PC gamers.

I understand that these hypotheses taken together are a pretty bleak outlook for the form factor of the personal computer that many of us deeply cherish and couldn't imagine life without, but we are the exception in broader society at this point, not the norm[2].

And that question being common is exactly why many non-profits have focused on reducing "overhead", actually making the organisation less efficient, because having e.g. medical workers do their own administration doesn't get listed as overhead, whereas hiring a secretary does.

With charities in general, it'd be better if people focused on results more, rather than on how resources are being allocated. Luckily, that idea has been gaining more and more traction, e.g. GiveWell.
If you enjoy Feynman's lectures as much as I do (he taught freshman physics when I went to Caltech!) I highly recommend his armchair series, "Fun to Imagine":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYg6jzotiAc

He's sitting at home in Pasadena, talking about stuff that comes to mind.

• Jiggling atoms who like to make friends with each other.

• Where do trees come from? (It's not the dirt.)

• Why don't your arms sink through the armrests of your chair?

• How do trains stay on the tracks?

It's an hour of fun science, and especially accessible for anyone who is curious about physics but doesn't enjoy all the equations.

Allulose seems to work fine for many, and is widely available.
How is installing a binary supposed to be more secure than a web page? A binary can do largely whatever it wants, especially for an average person that will grant it all the permissions it requests.
> If I swap out my car's engine with a more powerful one

yes, legally required to be covered in the us.

> and screw up the drivetrain will warranty cover it?

No, not legally required to be covered in the us.

The difference is the law specifies the manufacturer can not assume a leads to b, they have to a reason to think b was caused by a.
> Telling them apart is fairly straightforward!

I would like to point out that your description of how straightforward it is to tell them apart very humorously belies how it is not at all straightforward because all of your proposed evaluations are implicitly relative to something not seen.

> Crows are smaller, have a flatter tail, and typically... Ravens, by comparison...

If you see one bird, is that bird smaller or larger? Is its tail more flat or less? Smaller than what? Flatter than what? Flappier than what? Without seeing both, a lay individual can't easily evaluate "by comparison".
Like every artist throughout history has?
But we have a lot of control over the software we use on a daily basis, and there are several capable browsers. I want to use a browser that has a commitment to privacy, is still functional, etc. and Firefox fits the bill for many. If it doesn't, they want to know so they can change it. Food is a little more complicated in that regard. For instance, if you find the "better" brand tastes terrible...well, it's not really a choice.
I was just in the ER in SouthWest Florida: $12K for two CT-scans and blood tests over two days, basically to check if I was having appendicitis (I did not- probably infection from prior kidney stone). No overnight stay, but two visits over two days. $12K is the initial bill to my insurance company, so not sure what they will actually receive.
> the current crop of web devs have never experienced what it is to build an app without any abstraction such as React, and quite understandably have no idea what problems it is doing for them.

This is true. A lot of those struggles that the earlier people established, the patterns and best uses, those are lessons learned the hard way, and the impact on generation 2 is often much less because that wasn't a problem that needed to be overcome.
You never stop learning. Sounds like you've learned lots of the fundamentals that will be super useful in the next 10 years as well!
Yeah, that's cool. I guess I could have been more precise in my phrasing.
The only weird thing is that the article has managed to reach the front page. I was under the impression all number (and pointer) swap methods are very well known - with xor being the most applicable.

Edit: I am hard pressed to think of an Assembly that doesn't have exchange (swap) between registers - e.g. 6502, but has a xor instead.
The EPA guidelines limit chlorine content in potable water to 1 PPM. That is well below the level at which even the most sensitive person is affected. The problem is this guideline has no legal enforcement mechanism, so whether or not your municipal water district follows it is up to them. If they're not, they're not practicing evidence-based anything. They're ignoring evidence-based guidelines for some other reason.

Whether any US water district is really doing this seems debatable anyway. Maybe this is just a consequence of the poor state of search engines, but every source I can find claiming specific US water supplies contain unsafe levels of chlorine seem to be exclusively limited to companies trying to sell you expensive filtration systems you almost certainly do not need.
Case Closed: ESP Is Real
They are starting to get there with big official apps and you even install Python from Windows Store now - but they need to just pick a golden path for developers to make applications for everything from Grubhub to sports gambling - and then turn them loose
The dark side to this is that artists are learning that the things labels did for them are things someone really does have to do, and some hate it. I've seen a couple artists talk about what a pain it is to maintain a social media presence (especially on platforms they hate) because the alternative is obscurity.

My prediction is that there's a pendulum back-swing in progress as people figure out how to offer brand-management-as-a-service without just becoming a label.
Then that's a defect in the product, not the fault of the user, and should be covered under warranty.

(& the defect should get fixed. Nobody wants to brick their camera.)
I explained once that I think social media as-is must perish. A more humane business model should rise from the ashes. Responses boiled down to shrugs stating Twitter reflects society and we can't escape it.

I'll remain optimistic.

Javacript doesn't have an unsigned int datatype. The numbers in the article were doubles.
> Of course that data is not randomized and double-blind, but because of the sheer numbers you can still do very good science on this

But is the science being done "good" considering that the political and social pressures around reporting of negative results/adverse effects still exists? How do you get good data on adverse events if vaccine recipients don't even think to correlate strange symptoms x weeks or months post vaccination with the vaccine? How would you detect an autoimmune disorder with vague and nonspecific symptoms, for example, when doctors also are unwilling or unable to collect relevant data out of a combination of bias and ignorance?

It's a double whammy, because of the novelty we don't know exactly what we're looking for, and because of stigma/political pressure we are arguably not looking hard enough. Being labeled an anti-vaxxer is effectively career and social suicide, how many researchers are willing to stick out their necks, especially when rigorous proof would take years of research and funding to aggregate?
It was an existence proof. I'm not saying they're equivalent, I'm saying sometimes we don't need to accept tradeoffs.

The fact we don't have this right is a problem, and that is the point here: we should. There are many other rights Americans enjoy, and the wealth that companies enjoy here is more than enough to balance out one requirement, especially in the light that the requirement would benefit most businesses anyway.

To draw another analogy, think of anti-monopoly laws. To the standard businessman, they "suck." But on the macro level, for most citizens, and even for most businesses, they are good.
I think labels are more relevant than ever. In a world where it's easier and easier to create music, and distribute it, how do you discover music ? Through curators, podcasts etc. And those are managed by - you guessed it - labels.

Thing is that - in order to be relevant, and play that role - labels need to actually develop a style and expertise in the specific genre/type they want to operate in.
Luck? I don't believe in luck, I make luck.

Same thing with connections. Want to know why connections mattered in every job I have had, including my current one? Because I worked my ass off, did more than was asked of me, volunteered to do work outside of my immediate scope of work and most importantly made a point to always be on at least one cross-organizational or team outside my immediate work unit so I could actually be noticed by others. Yeah, you aren't going to be successful solely from "working" for 16 hours a day - what you do with those work hours matters too.

And you know what? It worked. The best jobs are the ones that come looking for you.

Another way to stand out? Become part of the internal expert network that exists within every organization. I ended up interacting with a lot of our contracting folks and I would always go out of my way to let them know I was available for "geek speak" translation - if they ever had something technical they didn't understand to just call me. Even if it wasn't for one of my contracts. Stuff like that provides dividends that can't be expressed by some silly metric. I'm pretty introverted but luckily those kinds of conversations tend to be one on one.

I find it beyond hilarious that there are so many people who think luck and "connections" are how most successful people got to where they are. Keep telling yourself that if you like and good luck with that long term. Success is not accidental and yes, good old fashioned (meaningful) hard work will still pay off.
