They wouldn’t - the contract is between you and the cruise line only. The ticket contract’s forum/choice of law clause would have zero impact.

However, unless your stowaway murderer has assets that could be used to satisfy a judgment against them, any half decent attorney would also want to sue the cruise line as well for their culpability in allowing a stowaway on board (and the provision would apply).

You can check my project for music live coding in browsers:

All the audio library and langauge parser are written in Rust and compiled to WebAssembly, running in AudioWorklet thread.

The control parameter is constantly shared from main thread to AudioWorklet thread with my customised ringbuf.js to avoid GC from JS in real-time audio:

I use vite.js for development; for local dev server CORS, check:

For deployment CORS, e.g. Netlify, just edit the '_header' file as:

The vast majority of developers don’t need a 1TB working set of data. This isn’t a “monstrous misassumption”, it’s a perfectly reasonable assumption for typical cases.

Also, it doesn’t cost anywhere near $500 to keep 1TB in EBS.
From a big picture, socio-economic point of view, yes, the ruling class (Fortune 500 CEOs and elected officials they donate to and lobby) are essentially forcing the poor, the unaware, the average Joe to eat a diet full of high-fructose corn syrup and other carbohydrates, which happens to be produced by giant agricultural companies.

Corn is a subsidized crop by the US Department of Agriculture—we pay farmers to grow it. See the documentary "King Corn" about two guys who didn't know the first thing about growing corn but still made a profit on 1 acre of corn [1].

It's often said your zip code is a huge indicator of many demographic stats and what food you have access to is one of them.

I've lived in food deserts and I can tell you getting healthy food can be quite an arduous task, especially if you rely on public transportation.

Recent data shows that 80%(!) of black women in the United States are obese [2].

This isn't an organic phenomenon; this level of obesity is the result of a system—some intentional and some not—at work.

There are in fact a lot of people thinking about this and they generally agree that a) it's possible, b) it's not more expensive than what we currently do, especially if you take into account environmental damage, and c) it's better for the environment. The only real debate left is whether we want some nuclear in the mix or not, and that largely depends on how quickly we can bring cheap reactor designs to market. The reactors we currently have are not cost competitive with renewables.

While we are on the topic of epistemic integrity, do you not consider it harmful to make a judgment of psychopathy "from the little I know about you," based on a few UTF-8 characters sent over the web?

Had you any actual knowledge of what it is you speak of, you would have known that:

The potential for harm is considerable if the PCL-R is used incorrectly, or if the user is not familiar with the clinical and empirical literature pertaining to psychopathy

from the author of the PCL-R [1], "gold standard" for assessing psychopathy (by your own citation [2]).

I assume most people are honest. I’m honest a lot of the time. Sometimes I’m not.
This goes back to when caller ID was introduced (80s?). There was a lot of opposition.

Anyway, a company could have what was called a PBX — a bunch of lines would come in and the operator would connect them (by plugging cables — I still remember this system). When they replaced that with electronic “exchange” — Private Business eXchange you could dial straight out from your desk. However there were fewer lines coming in than extensions. For direct dial the PBX could either set all outgoing calls to be the main number or could send the direct dial number for the desk phone that made the call.

We had a system like that into the late 80s though by that time we weren’t getting a bundle of incoming lines.

This system does have an advantage: it lets staff make calls using phone number controlled by the company. So when someone leaves they can be forwarded to the appropriate person, like email addresses.

For the last 15-20 years I’ve just used my mobile number which means when I leave a company I continue to get phone calls. I’ve always left on good terms so this isn’t terrible, but what if I had not?

Since nobody calls on the phone any more this may be less of a problem, but phone numbers are still used as authentications for services like WhatsApp. These numbers need to go away.
That's not really accurate, the vast majority of water "used" in beef production is green water. That is, rainfall and ground moisture in the grass that cattle eat, which obviously is subsequently urinated out and reincorporated into new grass and new topsoil. And the majority of what cattle eat, even conventional beef, is grass.

The amount of blue water use, that is, irrigated water pumped from aquifers and water bodies, is about 240 gallons per pound of beef [1]. Compare that with almonds, which clock in at about 630 gallons per pound [2].

If you use the misleading numbers that prevail in most publications, that's where you get the around 1800 gallons figure, since about 95% of that is green water.

Xenon is easy to use for this purpose, but it is expensive and it requires much larger and much heavier containers for the same mass, because it must be compressed and liquefied.

Iodine has almost the same atomic mass as xenon, but it is much easier to store than xenon (it is solid, but much less dense than mercury), even if it is corrosive.

The elements with a closer atomic mass to mercury are difficult to vaporize. It would not be impossible to use any of them in an ionic thruster, but it would be extremely difficult to obtain a high enough ionic flux and a long enough lifetime of the engine.

It's not just in the UK - Canada, Australia and New Zealand to name a few are all constitutional monarchies.

To your point, they're not democracies, they're constitutional monarchies - but functionally that's inconsequential in this day and age. In large part because if the royals ever exercised their veto, the whole system would fall in on itself. It's been over a hundred years since the last veto in any commonwealth realm near as I can figure.

I've nothing against the monarchy because it makes the highest elected office in the land a public servant - as it should be. It's small, but it's meaningful IMO.

To me your question is roughly equivalent to asking "how much can the US care about democracy when it's not a democracy, it's a constitutional republic? The president has veto power, and look how fancy the White House is!"

Canada, the UK, the US, Australia, New Zealand and many other modern systems are ruled with the consent of the governed, and they pick their functional leaders. The rest is an implementation detail, with various pros and cons.

> A masterful suggestion. Truly inspired.

It would actually solve the water crisis. What is currently happening is the government is giving away water at an underpriced value leading farmers to not implement more water conserving practices or grow less water-intensive crops. Also the water crisis in California is from agriculture practices not from urban dwellers running out of drinking water.

Just randomly setting the price of water below it's actual market price doesn't magically wave away the shortages caused when more people want to grow pistachios/alfalfa/etc... than the rivers can actually support.

Beef actually has a pretty moderate groundwater footprint, from what I've read it's less than half that of almonds per pound. That number is even smaller for grass finished beef. The numbers cited for water use for beef include rainfall that is incorporated into the grass that cattle graze, which is highly misleading.

Who can just whitelist phone numbers? I get calls all the time from numbers I wouldn't have known to whitelist; colleagues, people in other companies who I'm collaborating with on some project, food delivery people, customer support calling me back, etc.

I usually ignore calls from abroad at least, but even those I can't block; I'm constantly spam called by different anonymous numbers from the UK, but I also have colleagues in the UK whom I want to be able to accept calls from. I once got an unsolicited call from a French number which I ignored, only to find out that it was the phone number of a food delivery person who was there with my food. Just last week I got a call from an unknown German number; in that case, it was a call from a colleague in Germany.

I don't think a whitelist of phone numbers is a workable solution for most people.

Over here in India there's a DND (Do Not Disturb) registry [1].

The link [1] links to Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) website.

You sign up to DND by dialling a number that is dependent on your carrier (therefore you need to do this separately for all your phone numbers [3]), and go through the "Press 1 for English [2]... Press 2 for so and so... " etc. Takes a couple of minutes.

Once I signed up, the number of marketing and similar silly calls/messages have been nearly eliminated.

Maybe something similar — something that allows people to opt out of such calls/messages — can be implemented in USA.

I'm not sure about that. I almost never use SMS anymore. When I'm messaging with someone on an iPhone, I use iMessage with my email address as the identifier. When I'm talking to someone on Android I use Google Messages (again no SMS). The only time I actually use SMS is when I'm getting a text for a service like my car is ready for pickup or my table at the restaurant is ready, but those could easily be switched to IP based notifications, especially since they are already coming from a computer.
Just a layperson, but this paper seems to make unsupported leaps, and fails my sniff test. For example:

> In addition to respiratory and cardiac manifestations, it has been reported that approximately one-third of patients with COVID-19 develop neurological symptoms, including headache, disturbed consciousness, and paresthesias.

Headache can be caused by sinus infections! Covid infects the sinuses. Disturbed consciousness can be caused by fever or sickness behavior. Paresthesias (e.g. feeling your skin crawl) are also non-specific. They're neurologic symptoms in a technically correct but meaningless sense.

There's also only 11 patients - dead patients - in the study, with an average age of 70. I couldn't tell clearly what the control group was, other than "healthy." Did the control group never have covid? Did they recover and die of unrelated issues? The 11 patients succumbed to COVID itself - there's nothing in this article other than analogies and "might be"s to suggest these phenotypical changes last after acute infection.

Finally, they hypothesize that covid may cause tau hyperphosphorylation by leaking through the blood-brain barrier. The BBB gets leaky in older patients, I see nothing to suggest COVID makes it leaky, so nothing suggests that explains long COVID in younger patients. They end with a scary hypothesis that long covid is the prodromal state of an Alzheimer's-like dementia, but long COVID is most similar to CFS/ME, and we'd know by now if CFS patients slip into dementia - they don't.

I think this is a paper by Alzheimer's researchers about a hot topic, grasping at straws and fearmongering.

> 15 years as a sysadmin, anyone have suggestions for my next career move?

I made the switch to Technical Product Marketing after 15+ years doing linux sysadmin stuff. This might seem weird at first but all tech companies have complex products that they are trying to sell to a technical audience. Marketing needs technical folks embedded that can translate between the tech stack and marketing speak. You can probably 2x your sysadmin compensation quite easily and offers tons of career growth (developer relations, tons of conference speaker opportunities, become some industry expert, etc).

No idea about your skill set or area of expertise but here's an example from vmware [1]. Just search for "Technical Marketing". The job typically involves doing technical reviews of competitors, something you'll already do when deciding to choose a product as a sysadmin, reviewing internal marketing content to make sure people are telling the truth, doing talks/training, recording demos, interacting with PM/Eng about product releases, testing and writing about new releases, etc. If you like the technical side and don't mind teaching this can be a good transition. You basically leverage all the skills you've built over 15 years and apply them to something else quickly.

The kicker here is that you can just apply to companies where you already use their products and know them inside and out (giving you a massive advantage compared to other people applying). Say, you do tons of AWS stuff, well who better to work with marketing on the technical side then a sysadmin who breaths this stuff everyday, or maybe you're doing stuff on cisco switches [2], or maybe some netapp storage fabric expert [3], same thing. All these companies have technical roles in marketing that want you and it can range from mega corps to cool startups like GitLab [4].

> If Matrix and Mastodon become as easy to use as their proprietary counterparts

The problem is not primarily about usability, but about network effects and economic incentives. First, it's really hard to break the dominance of existing social media platforms, and they will never voluntarily adopt open standards. Second, I fear that if a platform becomes big enough, they have an incentive to close down their standards because, you guessed it, cash money.

Therefore this needs to be regulated. The EU is taking a good first step with the Digital Markets Act, and just a couple of days ago decided that big messaging services need to open up their APIs. Now, this is not the perfect solution, but a step in the right direction.
