No, we know that people age at drastically different rates. I can even see this among my peer group.

>They found that the "biological age" of the participants in 2011, when they were 38 — as exhibited by the state of their organs, their immune systems, their heart health and their chromosomes — ranged from as young as 30 to as old as 60.
Dutch trains almost all have wifi, it isn't fast tho and then, on busy trains, you get to share it with 100 people which is rather hilarious. Most people have cellular plans now and coverage is better than one would want it to be.

edit: it is funny how youtube thinks the person on this IP address is waaaay into trains.
I laughed when the Dr in the article recommended sunscreen plus blood pressure pills. The confidence in narrow pharmaceutical interventions is absurd when we keep realizing that we don't understand how all the systems in the body are interconnected.
> For instance writing a diff algorithm on plain text files is much simpler and easy to understand, than writing diff algorithms on text or binary structures.

I'd argue the opposite. Coming up with a good, human readable, diff on unstructured text within acceptable runtime is not that easy. LCS is NP-hard and the naive algorithm has unacceptable performance and memory footprint.

However diffing something structured, especially when it has unique keys like in most databases, is really easy. Structure gives you an easy way to compare data systematically and is handy to express differences.

You can google "Credit Suisse strategist Zoltan Pozsar - Bretton Woods 3"... His thesis is that we are going from dollar based monetary order to commodities based order. Not everyone agrees with Pozsar (I don't) but this is making waves.

Russia forcing Europe to pay for gas in roubles is significant step, no matter the outcome on the battlefields... And financial markets reflect that fact through EURRUB and USDRUB...
Those arguing that we can't conclude anything without a randomized, controlled trial need to reread [1].

Yes, randomized, controlled trials are better, and the gold standard. No, they aren't always available and sometimes--even often--science can draw conclusions with evidence that came from other sources.

I suspect HOAs are even less democratic than you describe. My wife was president of a small HOA for the last 5 years or so. Most of the community wasn't involved at all. My wife's main job was to work with the management company to keep things sane and the few other people who were involved in check and preventing overreach. At the same time it's hard to change the existing HOA rules. I don't even know where the HOA comes from. It predates almost everyone who still lives here. I suspect the developers put it in place. So likely none of the current residents had any input in the rules and bylaws. At one point someone pushed for dissolving the HOA. That was quickly abandoned one the management company laid out the legal process which was overwhelming and didn't seem worth it to anyone
So I spent a lot of time in the Nest ecosystem, and I wrote some nontrivial libraries with a little (not a lot) of uptake (and neither are actively maintained at this point, so these are here mostly for completeness):

https://github.com/eropple/nestjs-auth

https://github.com/eropple/nestjs-openapi3

I was pretty excited by NestJS when I ran into it because, well--I don't mind magic, when it's done right. I quite like Spring Boot, for example. But NestJS's magic is...incorrect, in a lot of ways. The DI container is a little bit scary, with oddly hardcoded ways to register interceptors into request scope (itself necessary because NestJS's logging facilities aren't--or weren't at the time--decorating requests with X-Request-Id or similar, so you had to register your own) and no way to then define interceptor order.

It also has a lot of really overlapping nouns; guards are interceptors but less capable (and @eropple/nestjs-auth didn't use them at all) and the "pipe" concept for validation was itself inscrutable. To make it usable, I ended up just doing everything with decorators and interceptors, all living in request scope. And once I'd gotten it going, it was pretty nice. But it also meant broad incompatibilities with much of the NestJS ecosystem. It was mostly just my magic, instead.

These days I use Fastify, and, well--some things never change:

Excuse my scepticism, but I'd like to hear a lawyer confirm that.
I had more, but I'm cutting it to the minimum:

It sure sounds like you took the hospital's side in the dispute. You then didn't offer any clarifying details as to your stance-- instead going "huh-huh--- where did I say that?! where did I say that?!" This doesn't help communication, but it sure does help confrontation and wasting other people's effort in communicating with you.
The published subtitle of the article seems deliberately click-baity/inflammatory. “quite possibly even racist”

When there are so many places where systemic racism shows up in clear and demonstrable ways, why complicate your thesis with a completely unfounded assertion?

In any case, like “code smell” this article has a “journalism smell.” Hand-waving, breezy style; over-identification with certain groups of researchers. And of course, cursory treatment of the evidence. He points out the lack of improvement in certain end-points among subjects supplemented with vitamin D. Who were the subjects? Randomized? Matched controls? Matched how? We’re any outcomes positive? In other words are we seeing evidence cherry picking of evidence? In fact so little is mentioned in the article that he may as well have given a list of PubMed links and just directed the readers to figure it out for themselves. I don’t know what the right answer is, but the only TL;DR from this piece is “There’s some controversy here.”
I love the look of the VT05 terminal in those pics. Very star trek.

In 2009, a German state governor caused a terrible skiing accident, which he survived but the victim didn't. He was wearing a helmet, she wasn't, and after that point, helmet sales in Germany and Austria shot through the roof and use has remained high. Before that, it was pretty much only racers and children.
Personally I find Gattaca’s aesthetic stunning. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, it’s niche, but I love it.

The hero however doesn’t necessarily have a heart condition, I think it’s only ever stated that he has a risk of one. The whole film is about how risk has been weeded out of the culture in certain ways because some people can “not have a risk”, except of course this is disproven by Jude Law’s character.

Weaker arguments, but the space industry is multiple launches per day from the Gattaca facility, so we can assume that they are much more flexible on astronaut selection. Also I’m not sure it’s said that it’s a public organisation. Again, minor details, but I didn’t take away from it what you seem to have. Everyone entitled to their interpretation though!
It's not stagnant in China or India. That's where the innovation is happening.

Here in the US it's been shackled and shamed out of existence but it's also had all innovation and improvement barred as well.

Look to buying nuclear technology at a premium from India or China in the future just to catch up with where we should have been.
I like to use Hasura to give me full GraphQL access to a PostgreSQL/MSSQL database and then I can use graphql-codegen to get real, schema-based frontend types with no need for more tools than Hasura and graphql-codegen. Not sure that'll help you here but it's a thought.

I will note the MSSQL version of Hasura seems to be slightly behind in documentation, not sure about features though

I do yes! I don't have much hair left so I kinda need to. For some reason my head burns quicker than the rest.

I get mine mostly from walking in the woods/mountains too and I usually wear long trousers even on hot days too. But it's really for a different reason. I just don't like shorts and I get cut a lot.
You talk about America like it is civilized... we fight being civil tooth and nail. We're a country that enslaved people up until the 1930s (don't think that it ended in the 1850s, and it's still legal to enslave prisoners).
Loss of smell and flavour (not taste itself) during a cold is temporary and not a big issue because it is caused by your nose being stuffy and nasal passages coated with thick mucous.

> In ordinary usage, “racism” means prejudice based on race. There are efforts by some to muddy its meaning, to encompass both racial prejudice and “disproportionate effect,” but that’s not the common usage.

Thank you. For some reason I've never been able to explain it so succinctly when two people I respect get into an obviously semantic argument around something being or not being racist and then getting lost in the weeds of the intentions of the long dead.
Well, there's a lot of hidden assumptions here.

If by "nuclear" you mean pressurized solid fuel reactors, well yeah I agree.

But EVERY nuclear idea out there? Come on, the orders of magnitude of power density, availability of thorium an others for fuel, there has to be SOME design that is safe and economical.

But "economics" is a moving target with Solar/Wind cost improvements year on year.

That will eventually stabilize. Then there's a fixed target.

I hope that:

1) this target puts all the PWR people and their entrenched regulatory influence and reprocessing and lobbying to death. That does exist, and it is a major blocker. Too many people are making money as old nuclear circles the drain.

When that gets permanently put to bed, then ...

2) Then some LFTR/pebblebed/whatever design starts getting actually researched and invested in. The LFTR people claim that it's illegal to do liquid reactor research, which is why the pebble bed is being researched. I don't know the regs to know if they are telling the truth, but it does show lots of "chilling effects".

Then you target an actual number. Probably would require an iterable and scalable design.

Space may be the other good pusher.

But it's going to be a couple decades before nuclear should think about pushing anything to market, and the old nuclear should be shut down when battery storage gets good enough to replace it.

A couple decades is a generation, and it will clear the table of the old guard.
Refreshing my memory via Wikipedia the PCjr and AT did come out about the same time but the AT cost 6k in 1984 vs 1500 for the Jr. 6k in 1984 was around 12-13k in 2022 dollars.
Doesn't silicon carbide have unusual properties for making digital circuits with? SiC diodes have forward voltages higher than regular Si, for example. And additionally, I'm not sure if you can get the same performance on SiC at super high temperature, as even the metalization need to be specialized to handle the heat without too much resistive voltage drop, etc
I've just started to index everything and then search it as I need it rather than spend time organizing. File storage is pretty cheap so it was the least expensive of all the options

I also made a chrome extension that would show similar saved items to whatever is currently open in my tab, which also ended up working well when I forgot what I had indexed.

It worked surprisingly well for me personal use, so now am trying to sell it as a product https://www.diva.so

The strange thing about self checkout at my nearest store is that the store is 24 hours, but they close self checkout at night, which is also when they have no staff, so the only way to use the store is to walk all over and drag the manager back to open a checkout.
you are probably right, but I will not be so pessimistic as to resign to favouring Steam and Apple stores and take rates as a necessary evil and permanent facet of the web’s future. I am happy to see web3 at the very least attempting to challenge this, however weakly it is currently being done.
> 1. I said kinda

It's either liquid democracy or not. It seems the fact that it was not was a big problem for you.

> 2. If we had liquid democracy, the situation. would have been even worse

If you say so.

> End of liquid democracy! there's no way to bind an elected representative to the voters opinion, if you live in democracy. It would be far to easy to "buy" or "force" the elimination of someone "the occult leaders" don't like.

Liquid democracy doesn't have representatives. You've misunderstood what it is, which explains why you think having elected a mayor has anything to do with it.

> Delegates are unaccountable leaders, nothing more, nothing less.

That's why you should have liquid democracy, where you can withdraw your vote at any time for any reason and don't need a delegates permission.
> I frankly don't trust strangers doing the pick-up. I've had to use this service a couple of times during self-isolation during the height of the pandemic and there was always something out-of-stock, which seemed implausible, as I never had an issue with my groceries being out of stock.

This is the big one for me. All current grocery delivery options in my area rely on gig workers, which is essentially having any random person on the street touch your food.

I used to use Peapod, which had actual employees, so there's a bit of extra responsibility and in theory safety/reliability. Not really much worse than, say, a restaurant. Unfortunately they completely left the Midwest in Feb 2020 (great timing eh?).
Whether you need them is up to users. If you have Asian users then ASCII will not do. No kerning? Why would users put up with ugly text rendering? Just to make our lives as developers easier?

This attitude reminds me of what someone says about the difference between German and Japanese tech. Japanese ones last forever because they overdesign their products to avoid breaking even when misused, because they are customer-focused. Germans are rule-focused, so they design their products according to spec. German products also last forever — if you use the product exactly per instructions. But if you make a mistake... good luck.
Covid is over, the excess deaths are low, or even zero. War in ukraine would be a nothingburger if americans were involved (like noone cares about yemen, syria, now somalia, and noone cared about afghanistan, iraq, and even serbia).

Most of the current problems that we have are caused by the politicians directly, and not by covid/war/whatever, and sadly, they're the first that will have to go, if we want to return to somewhat normal future.
I would have agreed with you if the problem they faced was a memory allocation issue. However, in the case of deadlocks and race conditions, i don’t think low-level languages make the problem any easier to understand, quite the contrary i’d say…
https://poolsuite.net is the one I use.

The retro 90s asthetic is awesome.
Interesting to note that, just from memory, this means most of the increased I/O possibilities actually come from the CPU itself, not the chipset. 2x7 W also means that chipset power remains pretty much the same compared to X570, though two chips will lend themselves better to effective passive cooling.
I think the issue with this approach is that people may nod along and day they're happy with these compromises, but in reality they don't necessarily understand the trade offs and are then surprised when seemingly simple things don't work as expected. I'm thinking less of programmers here, who will generally understand what these limitations imply, and more of less technical users.
That’s basically what I thought. However, IIRC they were marketed more towards high-performance computing (with avx-512).

They were an uncomfortable middle ground though, between normal CPUs and GPUs. My benchmarks showed that there wasn’t much of an advantage over 20-ish normal xeon cores (for my HPC workloads).

(Memory is a little fuzzy - that was 4-6 years ago).
The fact that asset can be seized without any due process based on suspicion alone? How did I make that up? That's what the whole topic is about.
Pure lambda calculus does scratch a weird itch I never knew I had. Someone recently made a super tiny language runtime based on these concepts. https://justine.lol/lambda/
Yes very flat.

35m isn't an awful lot though. You can pick up a lot of speed from a bridge in the Netherlands too.
Sounds like a decent approach. On the current AM4 setup, the chipset had an x8 link allocated (at least in dmi), but only x4 was ever hooked up. Based on information here, too bad they weren't able to build on that and avoid the daisy chain setup altogether (x4 direct to each "southbridge").
Hay fever comes from grass. Less grass makes me more comfortable at home.

Personal finance analogy is probably incorrect. My guess is a better analogy is notebook/journal/scrapbook.

Think of all of these items as short/medium term working memory. Rather than looking at the items as intrinsically valuable, think about the outcome as intrinsically valuable and the items as vehicles to get some job done.

Perhaps you have some goal, such as learning to play piano, getting promoted to lead engineer, starting your own company. If that's the case, if there's important material you discover, take as many notes as you need (which could be nothing) as you work through the as much of the material as you need (which could be very little) and go from there.

In and of itself, storing likes, bookmarks, papers, movies, photos, files, etc is just hoarding. And in fact, it's a form of procrastination that feels like a great substitute for doing the actual thing you are trying to get done.

Let go of all that "helpful" content and you are thrust in front of the giant, scary, empty space of what is between you and your goal. Sit with that space, let it wash over you, and you won't need any of the other junk anymore.
I meant "margin called" figuratively, not literally. Essentially investors will start seeing negative cap rates and either demand redemptions or will start liquidating their RE portfolios, which isn't a real margin call, but "margin call" is a convenient term for what's happening.

Also, carrying costs of vacant properties are high. I'm predicting large writedowns of RE, and especially commercial RE in the coming 5 years.
Clouds reduce UV, but it still penetrates (also, apparently, it can actually enhance UV at times [0]). In my country (New Zealand), in summer you can get sunburned in about 10 - 20 minutes on a cloudy day, compared to 5 - 10 minutes on a clear day. But then, we tend to have much thinner ozone above us in our summer than countries in the Northern Hemisphere.[1]

> I presented a case where it didn't.

No you didn't. Electing a mayor isn't liquid democracy. Not being able to withdraw your vote isn't liquid democracy.
What about your neighbors in Austria, Finland, Iceland, Czech Republic, Switzerland, or Norway? Because tons of those neighbors also own guns, but you aren't really any more likely to get shot there than you are in Germany (all of those countries have less than 3 deaths by firearms per 100k people). And if you're just looking at crime that is not intentionally self-inflicted, you're looking at less than 1 death per 100k.

Almost all international statistics on gun ownership and gun violence in developed countries show a direct relationship between the two...at least until you take out the largest outlier, the United States. Then that relationship completely disappears.

Because you aren't more likely to die because more people own guns. You're more likely to die when your neighbors are poor. A more rigorous approach, which keeps the US "outlier" but also doesn't discard developing countries shows an extremely strong relationship with crime: poverty. Specifically the number of people living below the poverty line. The US, despite it's level of wealth and development, has a huge poverty problem, and that poverty problem turns into violent crime problems in the US just like it does literally everywhere else in the world.

Your neighbors in Austria, Finland, Iceland, Czech Republic, Switzerland, and Norway have figured it out: actual functioning gun regulation that still liberally allows for gun ownership (even scary assault weapons!), but stronger emphasis on a well functioning economic society. It's quite a bit ironic that the gun control policies that the US left so vigorously pushes for won't really have a measurable effect, but the poverty-reduction measures that they have all but abandoned actually would. I really wish they could be steered in the right direction, but I've given up hope.

Can't say I'm terribly excited about another massive scale usage of forever chemicals, aka flourocarbons. Didn't Intel get the memo, we're trying to reduce usage of these (see e.g. the EU F-gas regulations) not increase.

There's a coolant that's widely used, non-toxic, environmentally benign, cheap, abundant and non-flammable. Yeah, water. So it's not dielectric so needs some engineering. But humanity has a decent track record of building systems with pipes, hoses, heat exchangers and so forth. Same can't be said for cleaning up Superfund sites.
For the arms at least, they make UV protective shirts, they are essentially just a lightweight loose breathable fabric. Worth considering if you aren't familiar with them.

Polystyrene is very weak in tension (can be broken by hand) so won't be deflecting much energy. The principle is to slow the deceleration of the head by the polystyrene compressing and thus reducing the g-forces to the skull (not so much the brain which tends to slosh in the skull and cause concussion). Some motorbike helmets use materials such as polycarbonate which are intended to provide protection by breaking - quite different to bicycle helmets.
