That's definitely a concern. And of course, as was noted in the link, the heavy cotton bags have their own environmental impact.

It certainly feels like part of the problem is the way we've built our neighborhoods. It's inconvenient to shop regularly, so we all go weekly and buy a trunk full of food. Lots of bags. Lots of packaging. Etc.

It's not about the duration but the starting weight and health of a faster. These were underweight / lower end of normal range long term prisoners in the early 80's who died when bodyweights were significantly under 100lbs.

That definitely isn't what anyone is suggesting. The people fasting these days for 50+ days with no ill effects are significantly overweight sometimes on the order of 100+ lbs. They can lose 60 lbs over similar duration which would kill someone underweight but leave them still technically obese.

Someone fasting for health will stop once something starts to feel off unlike hunger strikers who experienced serious declines before death. Sudden death from malnutrition during a fast while feeling fine at a normal range bodyweight isn't really a thing.
At my highest stress moments, I've always found exercise and nature incredibly effective at resetting mental traps.

Sometimes before a task (e.g. go for a run and don't think about it at all, then immediately sit down and start after getting home) and sometimes after a task interval (e.g. get to this point, stop, go take a long run and don't think about it at all, or just lightly turn more fun aspects of the problem over in your head).

Running has the nice combination of sunlight + nature + physical exertion + dopamine.
Not a stupid question, and you're definitely on the right track! It's a local linearization in the neighborhood of a root. Because of how simply polynomials can be expressed (they can be defined by a scale and a multiset of roots), it happens that you can read this linearization right off the factored form.

If you're interested, I bet you could look at the behavior of the Taylor series expansion of polynomials in the neighborhood of their roots and see something that provides a good foundation for this article.

n.b. this is somewhat akin to a partial derivative of the polynomal, but rather than wrt to a specific variable, wrt a term that dominates a region. By evaluating the rest of the polynomial with the center of that region (the root), you're just killing the factors that are non-dominant. It wouldn't work if you were a bozo and forgot that $(x-1)(x-1) = (x-1)^2$ and so tried to say it looks like the line $x-1$ locally even though it doesn't locally dominate (the effect of the other $x-1$ is large). Also wouldn't work outside of happy polynomial land because who's to say there's not some $sin(x)$ somewhere that has global effects. If you try to go down this rabbit hole with non-localized effects, you'll encounter the Fourier Transform (and Linear Canonical Transform). If you try to force things to be more localized, you'd probably encounter spectral methods like the Short-Time Fourier Transform as well as wavelet methods. The latter are useful for things like compression because they operate using functions that are "semi-local" but non-trivial.

I don't know how to purchase these shares, but the last time I checked there were two ways to buy SpaceX.

1. Buy Google - they owned a large stake in SpaceX. I don't know if this is true today.

2. Individual HNW investment, aka $500,000+ for private equity. Obviously not an option for most people (or myself).

I share your sentiment on very long-term prospects. Though of course there is a ton of risk that comes with these timeframes. E.g. see "NetScape" post - we don't know if competitors will emerge. We also still don't know the viability of asteroid mining and any true ability to get resources from the moon/Mars. Nor do we know if there are any filters that we haven't hit because we simply haven't done any commercial space travel.
yea this is not a easy problem to solve. And surely cannot be solved my tricks like pomodoro technique. You probably already know all the tricks like starting small, setting a timer, put your phone in slient mode ect ect. You are surely not looking for more of these.

What I would say is to really think about why you really want to not do the assigments. Is it because you ultimately think benefit of school is overstated. Maybe your passions lie somewhere else at the moment but you are forced to attend school because thats what we were told to do.

"theoretically" here means, with cooperation from the local state, who agrees not to seize the assets. And cooperation from the local organized crime syndicate, who agrees not to seize the assets.

I was a middle of the road kind of guy, half dove, half hawk. I grew up in a violent neighborhood fighting when I didn't want to. Four years of military school, and I watched my more dovish friends go total hawk.

Without DNSSEC anyone can intercept your email. The TLS cert verified by mail is the domain pointed to by the MX record. Plus with DKIM keys store in DNS people can spoof email (if they can fool the receiver to trust their records). If you can fool DNS resolution for LetsEncrypt (pretty hard since IIRC they fetch DNS from multiple perspectives on the internet to mitigate this) you can get certificates for any hostname.

There are other solutions such as MTA-STS and DNS-over-HTTP but the end-to-end validation of DNSSEC is pretty powerful.
Here in the US, I don't think these are in common use. At least, I've never seen one in person. Are they used much wherever you are? They do seem like an interesting idea. Here's a US Dept of Energy page about them: https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/absorption-heat-pumps

Bike's editor is pretty much:

OutlinerLayer
RowLayers
LineFragmentLayers

I use CoreText to line break and render into each LineFragmentLayer. A whole new level of performance is possible if I knew more metal/opengl, but right now rendering text on CPU and sending as line fragments to CoreAnimation.

> Do you know of any other outliners with it besides Bike and Notion?

It's hard to define "outliner". This has been a main feature of TaskPaper for a long time... but TaskPaper is maybe a bit more "text editor" than outliner. Also tools like orgmode and probably lots more are pretty much outliners and also have all text editor features.

But yeah, for tools that feel more like an outliner it's not a common feature. In particular Bike even allows you too over indent and movies lines around without moving children. I think that's pretty unique, and goes together with multiline selection in Bike's case.
Of course it does! I think at a certain scale (the article seems to touch on this) you move off to faster languages for specific tasks that need other features (concurrency for example) or to save on total number of servers required. Saving just a fraction per request can mean big savings in aggregate at huge scale.
I look forward to reading your next novel.

> So if you believe that Russia is correct, please point me to where in the treaty itself that the US's actions violated the treaty.

That is by now pretty meaningless pedantry, the point is what impression that left on the Russian side when the US was complaining about Russian troops in Transdniestria, while at the same stationing increasingly more troops in Europe [0].

Particularly as it happened after the US quit the AMB Treaty, something Russia was never shy about signaling how its perceived as a threat [1].

Mind you; The US didn't quit the ABM Treaty over alleged violations by Russia, it simply did because it considered the treaty in the way of its foreign policy ambitions in the Middle East, which directly required ramping up US presence in Europe.

Yet in that history of interactions, it's somehow Russia that's constantly framed as the not trustworthy party, when US foreign policy is dominated by such examples of the US just having it their way, with zero considerations to any other parties.

I never got the need for pages in a vector graphics tool. Why do vector images need a page? Do people print them?

The whole point for me is that the vector image scales. Mostly there is no pre-defined size. So the page dimensions are meaningless. Why would you want multiple of those?
There are a number of differences here that should be noted.

Firstly, as you keenly note, we need to define terms like fasting. The kind of fasting people are doing for extended periods always includes water, but more than that, for an extended fast, it also includes electrolytes, and sometimes other nutrients.

Secondly, 60 days is a very long fast. While people are going to point out cases of people fasting for a year or more, the fact is that those are in the extreme minority. Most people consider a 10 day extended fast to be a very long one. A sixty day fast is far different, and there are studies that show negative effects of very long fasts, rather than "medium length" fasts such as seven days.

Third, I think it's a bit of a mistake to conflate a week long fast (what the post is about) with a 60 day fast.

Fourthly, most of the people talking about having done extended fasts talk about doing it in the same way one might talk about running a race- with practice. You'll see people talking about one meal a day, then a 24 hour fast, 48 hour, 72 hour, and then a week.

That gives the body a chance to adapt to the fasted state. These are health conscious people doing a health conscious thing.

Lastly, though, an ulcer isn't caused by fasting. Most ulcers are caused by infection, which was only discovered later in the 1980s. The kidney obstruction could be made worse by dehydration certainly, but it's still not causal.

People do need to eat, and extended fasts can be very dangerous, but there's such a world of difference here that I think it's not worth discussing.
This is not what they did.

They used a relay attack which means that they tunneled the actual keyfob signal over the internet (or a direct connection).

Tesla and others try to mitigate that by making sure that the latency of the signal is not too high.

<Everything you described>
Car: your encrypted authentication looks right but you took 200ms to send it. You are probably not within BLE range.

The researchers contribution was to show that despite that a relay attack is still possible.
What's the measure?
Fines are just fees when you have enough money.
It's not a justification, just an explanation of what needs to change if people want me to pay for that content. Like I say I pretty much never pirate things if they're on steam, I've probably paid tens of thousands out to steam over the years.

(That being said, I do have access to cable television, netflix, and amazon prime streaming as well as the piracy setup, so people are getting paid. I'm not going to go buy a bunch of old red-dwarf and dilbert DVDs though, they just take up too much space)
Not if you train your feeds to be high signal. Facebook has an 'unfollow' feature which enables you to mute people you don't like, but still have them as a friend (for whatever reason, went to school together once, or they're a colleague etc). As for Twitter, I just curate a bunch of Lists and avoid their algorithmic timeline and 'suggested' content.

Apparently you haven’t heard of immersion cooling. It’s essentially silent, and many people are using DIY setups to augment a heat pump or hot water heater.

Commercial solutions have been in development for a few years. Here’s one example:
https://www.wisemining.io/

Edit: after re-reading your comment I realize you also aren’t aware that miners can be throttled. Powering it down is not the only alternative to consuming 3kW.
Enterprise plans no longer come with "premium" support either, you are looking at 20% over contract value to get a similar level of previously included support and an SLA. To be fair, CloudFlare provides a lot of services for free and $20 premium plan with upgraded support seems like a pretty good deal!
>which often isn't processed in real time

Crypto transactions aren't processed in real time. Most networks can only handle, what, less than 10 transactions per second? Even when you start adding additional layers there is only so much you can do.

Realtime transactions with traditional currencies are a solved problem. The UK has had this for years in their banking system, the US will have it by the end of 2023 (FedNOW network).
I appreciate and agree with your main point, but I want to push back on the "impossible to solve" assertion because solving hard problems is fun.

Using latency seems intrinsically expensive because there's no lower limit to how fast a network switch or relay can operate, meaning speed of light is the only real limit. And then the latency bounds get extremely tight, which probably means expensive components. Probably too expensive for a dedicated key fob, but maybe possible with a phone.

But position is actually the thing we care about. If the key knows its position, say with GPS, then we could do it. The key could securely sign its location (plus timestamp or nonce to avoid replay attacks) and then the car could explicitly verify the signature and that the key is within range. AFAICT this is totally secure and reasonable, if a bit expensive, to implement. In fact it seems like it would almost just work today for phone-based keys.

Putting GPS into a dedicated key fob is probably not even too expensive - car key fobs regularly cost hundreds of dollars to replace, even if their BOM is trivial, and a cheap GPS watch is approaching $100. The biggest barrier I see here is battery life on the key - neither phones nor watches like to be constantly tracking GPS because of the power draw.

I wonder what else could work. Quantum communication protocols can detect or resist relays. These are WAAY out of reach though - mostly theoretical, but IIRC the Chinese actually built a satellite to do relay-resistant quantum key distribution.

I'm not arguing that these options are things car companies are going to do any time soon. But it's fun to think about. And I don't think it's impossibly far off.
Here in Germany, it is almost impossible to pirate for free. If you download shows via BitTorrent you almost immediately get a fine ("Abmahnung"). There are some illegal streaming sites, but quality and reliability is poor in my experience.

But you can get a subscription to a VPN for about the same price as a Netflix subscription (~10€/month), that will allow you to torrent without worring about getting caught. Strangely, they manage to have an exit node in Frankfurt, and take credit card, although it is clear that they are frequently used for pirating. Alternatively, for a similar price you can get a premium "sharehoster" account, and then download all the shows using JDownloader.

I am firmly convinced that this is at least tolerated, if not even condoned by the film industry. The goal is to make pirating a bit inconvenient, and about as expensive as legal streaming. It is like a pressure valve. If it weren't for this "good enough" system, people would be motivated to build a P2P "Pirates' Netflix" (maybe with a friend-of-a-friend architecture, like RetroShare, where the lawers cannot get your IP). And that would really be a problem for the IP holders.
> I think the whole CBDC idea as more like governments trying to pile on to the “blockchain” trend.

No. Central bank digital currencies need not be implemented with inefficient blockchain technology. Privacy is a big issue, but the solution to that is not a public blockchain. CBDC could be huge in actually disintermediating many banks.

Note that in some societies (eg Sweden) most transactions are already cashless, so the whole issue of privacy is orthogonal to CBDC.
That's the plan among other things. Get a license ;)

I buy all my stuff on iTunes. But that alone won't allow me to put a 4K HDR movie on a USB stick to watch it offline on my TV.

I don't agree, but I see your point.

The reason I say it is because currency pegs in practice never last forever, they all fail eventually... even the USD. My criticism is not toward the crypto space or any coin in particular but rather the idea of maintaining a long term stable peg.

In general I'm rather bullish on the long term prospects of crypto currencies.

The real problem is wealth. A lucky few will be able to hole up, but that'll only be the ones that can afford it; the rest will die from starvation.

I mean there was already alarm bells from UNESCO today or yesterday that the food program is at risk due to rising food costs due to the conflict in Ukraine and sanctions on Russia, which in turn puts a lot of people that depend on that food program at risk.

And it's closer to home as well; the amount of people that start to rely on food banks has gone up sharply with the high inflation.

I mean it's dumb IMO; while all companies are eager to raise prices with inflation as soon as it happens, wages lag behind.
