> Natural birth is messy

That bears repeating. One of the grossest things I've ever witnessed (which wasn't something dead) was my son immediately after he was born. I was impressed.
I think maybe that’s the part I’m not getting.

I don’t have a problem with the code generation personally, if anything I appreciate having something I can go and inspect if things go wrong so avoiding it isn’t an obvious plus to me.
"We've had this kind of radio emission but it's incredibly brief so for Earth, you'd have to be listening for a few decades over the billions of years Earth has existed."

This signal could have been repeating every 100 years for billions of years, for all we know.

Well now.
"Disassembling a star" has to actually be possible in principle for this line of reasoning to make any sense.
That's an absolutely valid addition on the topic of reducing the temperature of politics and allowing new compromises to be found.

The only difference, fortunately, is that getting RCV (or other reforms) implemented for state elections doesn't requiring changing the US constitution. On the other hand, the fact that both the Republican and Democratic parties hold multiple state government trifectas, but only Maine has adopted RCV, means that both parties seem to be resisting reform.

I wonder if it would be possible to have a cross-party grass-roots campaign to support primary challengers for every state legislator (from any party) who doesn't want their state to copy (or surpass) Maine's achievement.

Even if that only ended up working in safely blue states, that would still raise awareness and wake people up to the Prisoner's Dilemma that the voting system puts them in. On the other hand, if the reform ended up being associated with one party, that would just make it another issue that the country was gridlocked on. Perhaps Republicans need to see it safely working in a red state first.
I don't see the problem with autoplaying. I want some platforms to autoplay, though autoplay is often abused by (American, for some reason) news sites to dump their stupid ads onto me. Using MP4 to replace GIF also makes total sense! A bit weird to use the <img> tag for this but it's... something I guess.

Features like animated GIFs and background videos sometimes need to be disabled, though.

In Firefox, this can be done by going to about:config and setting `image.animation_mode` to `none`. In other browsers you may need an addon to accomplish this. Browsers should really have a clear setting for this in the accessibility settings, though. Internet Explorer had an option for this, I don't get why browsers have dropped the ball on this.

One thing I have used is drop into the Python debugger (also ipdb) from within a signal handler. Then I can run a kill, and have it drop into the debugger.

There are some of cute hacks to get a remote debugger which I haven't used in years.

I don't think they ever thought they could "get away with it forever", it's more like: we have an opportunity to make a lot of money now before people get sick of it and legislation is pushed. That's how big businesses operate, they will always push the line because it is most profitable in the short term. The long term for them is made up of ups and downs on an upwards curve, they push the line (up) get pushed down (down) but hopefully they are still a little above where they started. And so on.

Greediness is not a flaw of the system, it is a core value of it.
I use the Choqok client[0] which also just does reverse chronological. The killer feature to me though, is that it remembers what tweets you've read. So I usually just scroll down to where I was up to last time and start reading up[1] - clicking on anything interesting to investigate further in my browser[2]. It's the only client I've found with that feature. It's a bit clunky in places otherwise, but that alone keeps me with it.

[1] I don't follow a huge number of people, and also shy away from "prolific" tweeters so my number of tweets per day is not huge. I really treat it like an RSS feel TBH.

[2] I also use the Invidition browser add-on to redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance - so much cleaner.
Work in the field myself. The real answer is definitely we don’t know, but for whatever reason a high diversity (lots of different kinds of bacteria) seems to be almost universally good. Fiber is the major carbohydrate source for our gut microbiome, and a fiber-rich and fiber-diverse diet seems to provide lots of niches for various bugs to grow.
Great podcast!

> But in gravity, you’re sort of combining a whole bunch of different possible geometries of space-time. And what that means is, you’re not really sure what time is, for one thing, and you’re not really sure where things are in space, because if you don’t know the geometry of space, it is impossible to identify a point in space uniquely throughout all the possible quantum combinations of the geometry of space-time. So, we really, at a fundamental level, have difficulty knowing what we’re talking about, when it comes to quantum gravity.

Stephen Hawking once summarized this as "Gravity shapes the arena in which it acts" and concluded that, therefore, it'd be unlikely that gravity would be a quantum field like any other. It really annoys me that this is so often forgotten by people in high-energy theory and that quite a few of them pretend that

> We have a pretty good idea of what a theory of quantum gravity must look like

when in reality we have no clue at all. (That quote is from one of Sean Carroll's guests on the former's podcast – for better or for worse I don't remember her name. Notably, as becomes clear from the podcast, Sean Carroll is not among the people subscribing to this view.)
Oh, hello, queue theory and parallel processing theory! As you increase utilization (remove slack), throughput may grow, but latency grows more. If your nodes interact and depend on each other, the tail latency can grow completely out of hand, in exchange to tiny gains in utilization, and the actual throughput may go down as utilization goes up past some point.

Always have some free disk space. Do not run your web servers at 100% CPU utilization. Overprovision your clusters. Add redundant network links. These ideas look completely obvious, don't they?

Now apply them at the org level. Always have someone with spare cycles. Leave some time at the end of the sprint when all planned tickets are done. Allocate time during the day to sit and think, or to experiment, or to take a walk. Let the person oncall to mostly sit around and watch the system operate instead of churning out something. Now this sounds a little bit crazy, doesn't it. So much efficiency is left on the table!

(Also, certain Nassim Taleb used to be popular around here; he wrote a whole book, "Antifragile", based on these ideas.)
Some things can be hard to explain, sure, but I don't expect my wife to understand the technical aspects of my work, so no, no strain or dissatisfaction.

If, as per legal opinions, the target is not able to be apprehended given reasonable effort to do so, and evidence is presented as such, there is legal maneuvering to carry out a targeted killing-which is a military matter-, against a combatant. The legal opinion is very clear on this. Please give it a read. It’s very detailed and explicit. All your statements are covered.
It's hard not to notice that you still haven't explained where the misunderstanding is or even what you think is his point. I'm still curious how you think it's a misunderstanding, I already know you disagree. I'd be more impressed with your Twitter comeback if your own reply wasn't a <240 character non-explanation.

They just round more than you: I think your presumption that others should think like you is bizarre. Some people only round to 10 cents. If you are wealthy enough, you could easily round 10.99 to $0.

There's an experience that lives rent free in my mind as well. As a teen, I worked at a bait shop that was on the Gulf coast. They sold mostly live shrimp but had other live stuff for bait as well. Salt water was pumped from the nearby innercoastal canal by two heavy duty swimming pool type pumps. From there, the water was split through several different pipes and manifolds and dumped into the live bait tanks. The overflow ran back out to the canal.

There was this one customer I was getting bait for and he meandered around the bait room randomly (customers weren't supposed to be in there but I didn't feel like saying anything). He ended up way in the back of the room where the pumps were and I could see him touching them. Figuring I needed to get him out of there politely I walked back there pretending to check on stuff. Before I could say anything, he says "You will need a new pump soon". Um "What?" I say. "Put your hand on this one". So I did, I felt nothing. "Now put your hand on this one". And that one had a really high frequency vibration coming through it. "The bearings are shot, it will lock up soon".

I was impressed. Granted for two more years I'd regularly "feel" the pump again, the vibrations were slowly getting worse. But then a hurricane came and flooded everything anyway so we got new stuff.

But still, anytime I see a high RPM electric motor running, I got to "give it a feel".

Curious. I built a site in Vanilla PHP that lives solely on my laptop for now, for much the same reason. The reason it's not live to the world is that I couldn't find anything considered "best practice" for secure user authentication, password management, etc. and put off the project for a time when I can learn a framework that has that problem solved. Frameworks are daunting though.

How did you approach the user management?

Nb, I love your approach to the site - its function drives its form. There's no flashing lights, ads, cookie banners, anything annoying. It's just pure content, and that's what I'm craving on the internet lately.
Incredible right from the first shot. Looks like I have my next 20 mins, thanks for sharing.
I think it's easier to pitch the health benefits of eating less animal gunk.

I've noticed whenever I pig out on dairy I feel really really bad like 2 hours later.

It's at a point where I try to avoid most milk, pizza is temping though.

Historically meat was way to expensive to consume 3 or 4 times a day.

You can see the health effects in real time, countries get "richer", fatter and sicker. Theirs a strong biological impluse to eat stuffed crust Pizza with chocolate on top.

For most of human history this would of ether been absurdly expensive or impossible. So yea it tastes good.

I really do wish we talked more about diet. Bad diets are behind most health issues, and I'd imagine this includes mental health as well.

You feel like crap after eating chemically enhanced chicken, then you eat more chemicals. Your body, in a violent rebellion refuses to act right.

Once I had the self control to go vegan for a week. It felt like the first time I had Red Bull.
“If we want to contain the spread of the virus, the only way to do that is through mucosal immunity.”

No. The virus is going to win this biological arms race we challenged it to. What politicians and scientists want is not relevant to COVID.

It's pretty hilarious to me that some scientists and governments are pretending that infections are the drivers of mutations. Which may be true, but they would be relatively benign.

Instead they are counterintuitively selecting the parts of the virus that must evolve. It's no surprise that the R0 keeps rising. It's no surprise that a random lineage jumped to prominence.

WE selected for these traits in COVID. I can't think of a better way to engineer a virus to become more infectios and completely endemic than to knowingly and willfully try as hard as possible to kill it off knowing that failure is inevitable.
You could rip digital books into audio format and listen to them on walks. I did that during the last couple years of quarantine and found it nicer than reading physical books. It works for soft reading but dense, technical subjects were still easier to cover by hand.

The basic idea is:
[digital book format] => text => espeak => wav file

Otherwise normal audiobooks are decent too but voice actor skill varies.
If they said "buy once, get upgrades forever" and didn't provide that, then yeah, that's definitely a very plain example of immoral dealing. The future service is exactly what the purchasers were buying - not a nice-to-have add-on.
There is a place in the web for animated images, which should be obvious from how much people still use GIF in 2022. Images can be easily embedded in user contents by a wide variety of websites.

Also if you forbid animated gifs, you should go one step further and forbid animated SVGs!
Has anyone heard anything about a supposedly classified version of the story that goes into deeper detail as to why this signal was even more significant?

No, its mostly because it can't be digested at all by humans but are food for bacteria as every cow knows. The benefit of slow digestion by fiber is mostly for diabetes control.

Fixing microflora (and hence influencing metagenome) however, is not that simple. You wont feed good bacteria only, but pathogenic too if you have them overpopulated, which will make things worst. You can't easily replace those with new ones coming from food because of the acid barrier. You might think that lowering it down is good idea, but its totally not, because you will soon find new neighbor h. pylory which can cause all kinds of shit, along with having less nutrientes available by stealing and unoptimal pH environment. Regular probiotics are usually meaningless (influencing environment like fart in the wind).

Eating carnivoir diet makes your acid stronger which further strenghtens your defences (only great if you don't have invaders).

Then, this is dynamic - good guys can become bad in specific context.

The best way to improve your microbiome health is to find FT surogate, some great probiotic like Visbiome or VSL3, eat fermented foods, use prebiotics, and obviously dont use antibiotics in relaxed manner (save them for emergencies, like once in decade, and even then help flora repopulation and good luck with fungi proliferation) and do not remove your apendix just for the sake of it.

Funny thing nobody mentiond antibiotics and how harmful they are. Yes, they can save your life but poping them every now and then borders to malpractice.

Rather than any variety of ranked choice, which demands convoluted counting schemes and fundamentally provides less information than scalar scoring schemes, we should be pushing hard for approval voting, which has the advantages of being dead simple to explain and interpret, obviously fair, able to reuse most existing infra, and not requiring the majority of voters to make substantial changes to their voting patterns as a transitional step.

If we didn't have the history of voting system reform attempts to look at, I would almost suspect that ranked choice advocacy is a troll move to discredit alternative voting systems, rather than being a vestige of lack of rigorous analysis of voting systems until after early attempts at voting system reforms had gotten out of ground.
Why should they? Newton's mechanics and electrodynamics don't work together, either. They are simply different theories - both conceptually and mathematically.
There are many cases in which animated images are used today where requiring autoplay would break. For example, an online group chat platform that uses tiny animated images for reaction indicators. Having to individually play each reaction image would make them unusable.

The proper way to handle this is to respect the prefers-reduced-motion CSS media feature. If I have that enabled, non-user-initiated animations should not run. I do not want to make an argument as to whether the <img> tag should natively do this or whether sites should handle this instead, just that prefers-reduced-motion seems like the right approach unless there's some strong reason to animate a given item regardless of that setting.
Can you share more info on that? I only saw reports of their broadcast permissions revoked, not the website.
The fact is that loads of people drive drunk, drive illegally, and drive dangerously--on public roads. Police enforcement clearly doesn't work. Automated enforcement would. Why should people get to endanger others? The leading cause of death for children and teens almost every year is 'motor vehicle crashes' and it wasn't the children and teens causing those.
The US may make tax avoidance difficult for its persons but it certainly doesn't have a problem facilitating it for non US entities.
Dyson swarms are fascinating concepts, but as we are learning about our own ever increasing energy requirements harvested from our ecosystem, moving around too much energy in a complex system can have undesirable consequences.

I would imagine that a planetary system as a whole has a 'climate' driven by it's host star, and redirecting large amounts of that energy would have unpredictable consequences. While most of the suns energy does leak off into interstellar space, before it reaches that point it interacts with various bodies big and small, solid and gaseous, it generates magnetic fields and powers phenomena we may not be aware of.

Perhaps the choice of creating a Dyson swarm IS the great filter, and any civilization that has achieved it finds itself in a state of 'solar climate crisis'.

No that's not what the question is asking. You should be using the standard library sort function (or making one up if you can't remember the specific API).
The closest I've ever got to this has been using a 120-degree pickup Sony ECM-MS907 condenser mic and a minidisc recorder. Using Sony's closed over-ear headphones (the most expensive I could buy at the time), I recorded several group gatherings.

On playback through the headphones later, I instinctively turned my head at frequent intervals, because I couldn't tell that I wasn't listening to real people near me. It was a really weird brain-fakeout effect.

This was all consumer-level hardware at the time so I'm sure it's very possible today to achieve the general effect, though probably with different equipment. Personally I'm not sure I'd want that from an audiobook but it could be cool.
No it needs some really sophisticated legal engineering to get around the insurance problem. If the car is 100$ but insurance is 300 you aren’t getting much bang for your Buck vs a 200$ a month car.

Others have said, but spending time with your spouse is important. But, equally important (and it's a big part of having a good relationship) make sure you're stepping up and pitching in around the home with the chores.

Nobody likes them, but if you're not doing 50/50 (or at least something mutally recognised as fair) and you don't occasionally overachieve to give your spouse a bit of a break, it can be a big issue. If Reddit/Twitter are prioritised over getting the basics done, get that sorted out.
It's not begging the question. It is a Gedankenexperiment (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought_experiment).

By starting with an abstract premise and asking "let's work out what would happen?", any useful and surprising results tell us connections that we didn't see until we worked them out. If those results match the real world, we learned about the connection between the real world and a plausible abstract underlying structure.

This is a useful method how to derive equations and functions from other principles and empirical observations. You can think of it as a search strategy, to find simpler explanations and mechanisms that produce the complex consequences we observe in real life.

A lot of quantum theory was figured out this way, which has proved very useful in practice. Much of our modern technology depends on it.
