Pretty interesting.

I have been suffering from symptoms of long covid(not after exposure to covid obviously) for 10 years after exposure to flouroquinolone antibiotics. You could say I am a hipster who was suffering from fatigue before it was cool. All joking aside, there are some studies on these drugs which found mtDNA issues. An individual recently had his muscle biopsied by a researcher at mayo and he found mitochondrial depletion. The research has also looked at another individuals muscle tissue who suffered from flouroquinolone toxicity with same results. The researcher is planning on sharing his findings at some point but I believe his focus has been shifted to long covid.

Symptoms are quite similar fatigue, dysuatonomia, joint paint, post exercise fatigue, therefore, I am quite excited about long covid.

Many individuals recover over weeks...or years supplementing mito cocktail and antioxidants.
My second computer was from Gateway 2000, this was before the whole retail store experiment, back when they had the awesome ads in Computer Shopper and the other mags (PC Magazine, etc). I think this was really their heyday. Awesome systems, cool accessories. Anyone remember the AnyKey keyboard? A (re)branded 124-key keyboard and you could program a macro of like 128 key strokes into any single key. It was awesome.

I think they were on the decline (at least mindshare-wise for techies) before the whole retail storefront thing, which seemed dumb to me from the get go - like a hail mary attempt to salvage the company at what must have been enormous expense and labor headaches.

Buy yeah, I'd hardly call them 'Apple of the Midwest'. They were a great clone builder/reseller in their day. Their computers were refreshingly free of proprietary crap as I recall. I'd call them more a "Dell of the Midwest".

1) We decided for highschool for the first phone. Some parents give smart watches so the kids are contactable but don't have a big screen.

2) I have the Google controls. That said, its as you say kids can circumvent controls so the best thing you can do is have this conversation.

We've spoken a buch of times with the kids about how other kids will look at gore/porn out of interest/shock value but they should choose not to as its not healthy etc. And other things like staying private online, predators, come to us if they are getting bullied or do something wrong like share an embarrasing picture and its getting used against them etc.

Ultimately this one its about having a good/trusting parent child relationship I feel than via digital restrictions.

3) From the Google controls we have time restriction, both time of day and total hours.

The other thing I feel is important 1) is making sure you do things with kids. It's easy to get tired as a parent and let them entertain themself but playing board games and sports etc is so important. Making sure you have quality time beyond screens makes it a smaller part of their life. And 2) Encourage the right friendships. Put the effort to organise events with kids/families with good values as the group surrounding them will have a big impact.
My point was not political, but just that overly broad use of words dilutes their effects.

They want customers they can extract usurious and otherwise abusive fees from. They don't want the subset of those that will fight back against said abuse, which is what they use ChexSystems for. The latter also randomly hits some people from the (rest of the) former group, but not enough of them to impact the bank's finances.

$300 won't cover the cost for a qualified advisor. Even if you'd get a tax professional to make the math for you for that money (the one I use charges $350 for a phone call, ymmv), getting a lawyer to go over the terms of the loan would be $1000 at minimum.
I feel like I'm in a time warp lately. Bunch of things obvious and non-obvious contributing to this, but if someone asked me when this landed I would have said end of 2020 or so. It's disturbing lol.
What this logic does do, is give opponents a reason to bring up the slippery slope. If the laws don't stop it, then there will be more laws to try - ever increasing regulation with marginal impact.
I'd say that depends on the audience. If you were still working at Bolt, for instance, and the CEO did not indeed feel anything, you'd probably be a little spooked that they seem like a sociopath.

At the same time, it is such a copy-paste statement that it's unlikely to elicit much confidence in its veracity, but still, the absence of it would not be taken well I'd imagine.

The MH370 search used sonar, which works well underwater but has quite short range so it involved driving ships around on the surface dragging sonar arrays backwards and forwards for years.

I think this is one of the systems used during the MH370 search, apparently it can scan 192km² per day.

There are 161,000,000 km² of ocean, so you'd need at least a million days or 3,000 years to scan the whole thing, give or take.

I like Minikube and it was a read godsend when I was trying to learn Kubernetes. It just "worked" and I was able to play around with deployments and whatnot.

After a while, I really found it limiting. Especially when I wanted to get into the internals of K8s. I then started to spin up VMs in VirtualBox and deployed bare metal K8s using Ansible and tutorials like this - https://www.tecmint.com/install-kubernetes-cluster-on-centos...

Creating a 2 node cluster was super helpful to understand how K8s worked. I was able to get onto the nodes themselves and see what was going on. It was an amazing journey.

Adding MetalLB to the mix really was the cherry on top. Allowed me to play around with ingress controllers.

So while I really do appreciate Minikube for what it is, it just doesn't go the distance when you want to dig in deep.
Tetragon: Case study of security product's self-protection
How is rust higher level than C++?

A controversial take.

We should consider individuals aren't able to parent their kids effectively.

Would you rather trust two exhausted individuals or a huge army of trained professionals at payroll by government to parent the kids?

There is very less transfer of knowledge and the worldview of individual parents is often limited. If there is an organization parenting thousands of kids, they can run A/B tests, see results of changing incentives, able to better respond from all data gathering and long trail of past experience. A parenting organization at scale also has more power to push through effective policy faster and change legal system to remove harmful corporations (social media in this thread).

Individual parents on other hand are inefficient, start with nothing usually, don't have enough visibility, time or expertise to consider the most optimal choices. They are helpless.

Sued? Hyperbole. If you really do that as an IT director you are trash.
Not to mention, beyond the technical considerations, there's also social implications. To what extent can you remove kids from social media before they start feeling excessively socially constricted compared to their peers? For example, taking away phones altogether is likely to lead to a much harder social life. If the tech companies encourage more responsible use of social media, they can make it easier for both the parents and kids who may want to reduce usage of it. In the same way, the lack of any guardrails whatsoever helped bring us to where we are now. I imagine both pieces are necessary/useful. Disclaimer that I'm not a parent so haven't had to think about this too deeply but it is something I consider in a hypothetical sense at times.
I really enjoyed "Oh my git!" (https://ohmygit.org) and it upped my git-game a bit. I can see this being really good too.
The point is not "how smooth your ride is" or "how nice your stereo system is" or what incremental bougie feature was added to standard cars in the ensuing 30 years. Fundamentally, you're not able to go anywhere with your 22 Outlander that a 95 4Runner wasn't able to go. You're not able to get anywhere quicker. Ok, manufacturers started caring about quality again after functional obsolescence faded away due to consumer tastes and competition.

These are all iterative changes. You still stop at red lights. You still sit in traffic. You still have the same speed limit as everyone else. While someone from the 90s airdropped into 2022 would be impressed with the stock features of a '22 car, they would not experience any fundamental shift in the movement of goods and people. We still using the same barges, shipping containers, trains, cars & highways, and jets that we were back then.
Because the threats are no greater to you than what existed in 1791.
What I've come to realize in recent years is there are an awful lot of people who have children who don't want to be parents. It's like they don't even like children but it seems like they're running down a Life checklist of things you should do.

Or maybe they like the idea of having adult children? I really don't know.

But I know so many people who don't actually like spending time with their children. I get some people actually have to work a lot but it's a shallow analysis to blame it on that (IMHO).

So expectations tend to be super-high. Their children often have to go to Ivy League schools. They themselvves need to save north of $500k+ to pay for that blue blood education. These people will bemaon the high cost of raising children while living in a 7000 sq ft 6 bedroom house with their 2 children, paying $50k/year to send each of those children to private schools and so on.

And while you can argue those things have value (I actually think that's debatable at best), the net effect is that these people actually seem to spend little time with their children. After awhile it occurs to you that's the point.

I feel like an awful lot of people are motivated by living vicariously through their children too. "I'm going to give my child the opportunities I never had". That sort of thing.

As far as social media goes, it's easy to say "don't allow your children on social media" but my guess is it's mostly childless people saying that. Those growing up now are connected socially to their peers through these networks. No social media is a form of forced social exclusion that's pretty all-encompassing. It's a hard problem.

I'd say, if anything, the problem starts way earlier than that. I actually think in an ideal world a child wouldn't even see an electronic screen (TV, phone, tablet, computer) before they're like 8 years old. That's pretty unrealistic though.

One issue with social media is because of US laws most networks are age-restricted. Some to 18 and over. Others to 13 and up. We all know that people lie and use them anyway. Where does responsibility for this lie? With the companies? The parents? I really don't know.

It does seem easy to scapegoat companies for these issues though.

Procedurally generated[1] large-scale environment[2] to explore with the prime goal of adventuring downwards, with layers of organic pristine biomes[3], full of unexplainable relics and asymmetrically strong entities that live naturally within[4].

Risk of Rain 2 is the closest thing I know to this, the biggest difference being the gameplay (it's more of a fun shooter game, rather than an exploration/adventure game) and the fictional universe.

[1]: Primarily the tactical gameplay elements (terrain, elevation, enemies, spots of interest, etc.) much like roguelike games, over the visual aspects (colors, animals, trees, etc.) like No Man's Sky or biomes in Minecraft

[2]: Think of FromSoftware games: Dark Souls, Sekiro, Elden Ring — it invokes a sense of massive explorable environment, with limited movement capabilities

[3]: Think about the amazement and awe invoked when exploring an undiscovered, unique biomes in e.g.: Subnautica (Lava Lakes) or Etrian Odyssey (practically all the stratum)

[4]: Think of Monster Hunter monsters
Agreed. It should be applied to all services which are optimized for addiction. Social media is just the worst of the bunch due to its built in peer pressure.
That doesn’t seem like a solution at all and is actually kind of punative as that would make srht bad for hosting go.

I think this is just an example of Google being a jerk and not caring enough to do proper software engineering.

Go seems really interesting but I have avoided using it because it’s so tied to Google. And I don’t trust Google to make good decisions for developers or users.
I would add bicycles to the list too. The big problem isn't necessarily that you're a bad bicycle driver it's that people aren't looking for them and will ignore them all together. It's like many people are blind to them. Defensive driving will help but you can't be 100% right all of the time. If you ride a bike, it's only a matter of time before you get hit by a car.

> others harming their children

I'd suggest they did harm to their own children when they allowed a smartphone and social media at an early age.
Why don't we just put everyone in a box after they are born and feed them through a straw like a hamster so they can't possibly ever harm themselves? People need to take responsibility for themselves.

> Musk has done genuinely pioneering work in electric vehicles and rocketry. [...] That he also goes a bit crazy on Twitter doesn't really take away from any of that.

If you look at it from the perspective of someone who likes Musk, then he's the lynchpin of Tesla and SpaceX which are advancing humanity, every other company's EV and self-driving features are only because he lit a fire under them; and the stuff he's doing with his money is much more exciting than other billionaires like Larry Ellison.

But from the perspective of someone who doesn't like Musk, it's engineers/ scientists/ programmers doing all the real work; 90% of Musk's promises remain undelivered; and his contribution to each company is so minor he can 'lead' five companies at once and still has so much free time he wants to buy a sixth.

And if seeing him be an asshole to that diver is what changes you from one perspective to the other?...
InSight recently recorded its largest earthquake a M5. And it was far enough away that it might have passed the Martian core, constraining its diameter.

I think there have been six quakes large enough to determine the location, i.e. a distance and azimuth. There have been hundreds of smaller quakes where they determine seismicity patterns, but not location.
Regardless of whether or not that’s true, the right thing for the company (and all its stakeholders) is to take the medicine (do the layoff).

This looks much more like showmanship than actually improving security. Again I'm not saying security is not improved. Now there are people who are happy they set standards for others to follow and IT managers who can show off to their bosses that they're following security standards like ISO27001 and SOC2. SOC2 standard is set by AICPA, the last A stands for Accountants. Of all people.

Indeed, and the safe harbor provision in the bill appears more than reasonable.
It's truly bizarre that your argument against all of the existing things that crypto replicates poorly is "fraud", while ignoring the massive, crippling, life-destroying fraud that regularly occurs in the crypto space.

And your argument for crypto basically boils down to needing a blockchain because you don't trust your counterparty. In the real world, there's a simple solution for parties who don't trust each other: do business with someone that you do trust.
To be fair, the websites you listed are extremely difficult to use anonymously with or without JS enabled. Most of the popular sites go pretty far out of their way to attach you to an identity that can be used to identify you outside their website.

Kotlin, hands down.

I've used many many languages in my life. Some languages have huge ecosystems (think Java or Python), making them productive to work with. Some languages have very cutting-edge features (think effect systems in Koka), making them fun to use. Kotlin is one of the few languages that strikes a nice balance between the two.

The fact that it's built by a company that makes really good IDEs is a big plus as well.

The world is a big place and it's impossible for parents to be everywhere they need to be for their kids all the time. It's only gotten unfathomably bigger since the advent of the web and the explosion of social media.
The problem is that the relevant social media companies intentionally design their interfaces such that they are addictive.

If only there were some way for social media companies to not re-order or promote certain content in a way that encourages addiction? Maybe by just leaving content in temporal order, rather than order by popularity or trendiness.

That said businesses removing themselves from children in CA seems similarly effective.

Finally, while I think that while Social media companies are significantly at fault - the development of trending, popular, and other non-temporal ordering of content is explicitly and intentionally designed to be addictive, and in no different from a food company adding addictive chemicals to food. I also think that parents have to have at least tried to parent their children, not simply ignored them until it turned out they had a serious problem.
