Mostly people are living longer. When SS first started only 55% of males and 60% of females who made it to age 21 would have survived their working-age years to retire at age 65 in 1940. By 1990 that figure had risen to 72% and 83%, respectively. Life expectancy after retirement also increased, from 12.7 (M) or 14.7 (F) years in 1940 to 15.3 or 19.6 years in 1990.

Their concern isn't that other reviewers point it out. It's that they think they shouldn't have to follow the guidelines:

Which is fine if it's a reason it's an occasionally slip up. But apparently, in spite of knowing this tendency, they frequently submit code to review where they've messed up to such a degree that reading every instance is considered annoying.

The problem is when one has multiple FKs between the same pair of tables.

Of course, if you allow naming the relation when you create a foreign key, then you could use the source table-qualified relationship name for joins rather than the target table name, which would be unambiguous (and more communicative of intent).

E.g., for a hypothetical table with two self-fks:

FROM employees ee
INNER JOIN ee.manager mgr
INNER JOIN ee.team_lead lead

Magic Internet Money ($MIM), and yes its name is a meta-meme meant to cause consternation of people that don’t matter

I would personally improve some UX and governance and less relevance of the team’s reputation, but its working

I like that the collateral is all interest bearing (backed by volume and transaction fees of their respective protocols), and pays off their debt over time

MIM creation privilege is too conservative for my tastes, but redemptions based on sentiment and collateral asset value has been seamless. Its pretty much what MakerDAO/DAI would have been if MakerDAO wasnt launched in 2017 and instead in 2021

I think there is still opportunity for this style of overcollateralized stablecoin to be done even more autonomous and better.

I like the idea stablecoins that cant freeze balances in addresses and also aren't collateralized by a balance at a bank or brokerage firm, the ones using onchain interest bearing collateral are the best model so far. Just need to improve creation and goverance and relevance of the team.

It's clearly a politely phrased command, and to think otherwise is intentionally missing the point.
Seems extremely odd because my anecdotal experience is that the people who prefer to isolate are on average slightly more intelligent than those that prefer to be around others in their free time.
That’s how I understood it too.

> In fact the biggest obstacle to an intercessor on a plane would be the other passengers interceding on behalf of Muhammed Ata, to basically protect the stewardess from his boxcutter from Muhammed Ata from the intercessor. Like the terrorist isn't crazy, he's just a terrorist, you're crazy because you're protecting us from annihilation. Apart from that, apart from the other passengers insisting I accept a stewardess taken hostage, I could have totally stopped one of the two plane strikes had I been a passenger. Would have been called South Tower Attack.

I'm having trouble following the logic here, but I think the argument is that "passengers didn't stop the attacks and therefore it is a US government conspiracy"?

To that I'll say: How old are you? For people who were adults before 9/11 we understood how hijackings worked: the plane would be landed, there would be negations and hopefully there would be no injuries - or in the worst case maybe the plane would be stormed and a few passengers would die.

9/11 changed that. It's easy to see how true this was by how differently the passengers on flight US93 behaved: this flight was hijacked after the WTC and Pentagon suicide attacks, and they learned about that from SMS and phone calls. That led to them fighting back.

That didn't happen on the other planes because suicide hijacking attacks were new and unexpected.

On the one hand you seem to think they are clever and cunning, on the other hand they think they can stage a mass casualty attack on US soil (for what reason exactly?) without the US ever finding out and retaliating.

I think the fact that no US government retaliated against Saudi Arabia for 9/11 is quite a bit of evidence in favor of there being no covered-up evidence that the Saudi Arabian government intentionally supported or even condoned this attack. Their dealings with the US in the past few decades tell me they know better than to poke the bear.
Foundation foods data includes few hundred foods and absolutely sufficient for meal tracking if you cook at home and measure portions. Another cool thing about the data set is that USDA publishes individual samples from across the country used to derive foundation food nutrition data, for e.g https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/fdc-app.html#/food-details/1999632/..., which helps visualize changing nutritional trends for foods with location and time (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31229335).
Negative, do not change. While you are incurring a cost to the attacker keep it as is. Ship nulls regularly AND find another method.
For a while now, I have been thinking of switching to Windows 365. This is halfway there because the heavy tabs are streamed from the cloud, but I am starting to think that the only way I can trust software to work is with a monthly fee. This has the added advantage of being able to switch to a thin client, and the data restoration and storage is paid for and is someone else’s problem.

But then I think there is another side to this. Windows has always continued with this cycle of planned obsolescence. The latest iteration was the worst. My copy of Microsoft Office 2019 slowed to a crawl after the Windows 11 update. Then, I had to buy a 365 subscription. That Office license was supposed to be good for life. I won’t forget that!

So I set up an older computer with 4 gigs of ram with Mint. It is snappy. I bought Crossover. It runs Word, but not PowerPoint. Unfortunately, it is difficult to get a copy of Office 2016 that is stable with Wine/Crossover. So again I am stuck paying the Microsoft Mafia. Honestly, I am fine with paying. What I am not fine with is them adding no new features, and bogging down my hardware so I need to buy another machine.

I also feel acutely the need to get control of my email back from Google, as many others do.

The reason I, and I think a lot of others want privacy is because they are sick of the obsolescence kill switch. Give me light hardware and web applications that can get as much cloud processing power to run as needed, and I would be happy. But I really need to trust that cloud provider and I don’t trust Microsoft. After all, they are using emails to get URLs to scrape for Bing. Not good.

Maybe this is a nice balance of a cloud operating system and local control.

This is nothing more than US government pressuring the Saudi government ahead of the planned Biden visit. Obviously if the Saudi had been there involved in 9/11 directly or indirectly they would have been a invaded the next day. It’s no secret that Al Qeada and the Saudis are sword enemies that been fighting each other for decades. The US-Saudi relations during at the time was stellar and the Saudis would have to have been completely insane to do something like 9/11.

The only wise this the Saudis can do now is withdraw all their accounts for investments from the US unless they want to get blackmailed and their assets frozen.

Also they’d do well to stop buying US weapons and instead ally with China. Also, they should consider ditch the US dollar To watch America turn to a third world country overnight.

It’s not limited to the city. In the countryside you’ll find “conservationists” who don’t want to lose the small-town character and zone everything outside a tiny village as farmland or single family housing on 10 acre lot sizes with huge setbacks. They then take their giant piece of property and put it into a conservation trust - a tax shelter that keeps your land from being developed and taxed at its productive value. But they’re usually democrats so it’s conservation not being conservative.

I don't remember a direct link being made between 9/11 and Saddam Hussein. There always was mumbling about Saddam supporting terrorism, and Iraq being part of generally the same problem. Not exactly a wrong supposition, though the conclusion was quite disastrous.

Kanopy's prvacy policy says they collect data on the people using their service (including GPS coordinates), and they sell/share data with other 3rd parties including allowing Google to collect data on their users. They've also failed to reasonably secure user's data which has resulted in at least one data breach (https://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/kanopy-streaming-...)

I haven't looked into Hoopla and Libby's policies yet, but I'd be willing to bet they're doing the same. Librarians have traditionally been very concerned with preserving the right to access content and information of all kinds without being monitored. They fought hard (and lost) against the US government being able to collect lists of the books and media users checked out from the library. It's odd to see a librarian advocate for people to use 3rd party services which will do exactly that along with far more invasive tracking.

I'm not just calling you out on this, although some have backed away from these services for various reasons (https://billypenn.com/2021/07/20/free-library-kanopy-movies-...) libraries around the country have embraced services which can track, censor, and put library user's data, privacy, and safety at risk. They advertise and push these services onto library patrons without informing them of the risks and without any mention of what card holders will be giving up by using them. Leaving it to library users to seek out and read through corporate privacy policies full of legal language and weasel wording seems very wrong to me.

In the US, as library card holders, we can't keep our reading lists out of the hands of the state, but we can do more to keep it out of the hands of private for profit companies and data brokers. I'm not saying there's no place for these types of services in libraries (although I'd love to see similar systems developed and operated entirely by library systems instead of 3rd parties), I just wish more libraries were looking out for the privacy of their users and were willing to do more of what they do best: keeping the people informed.
Why hasn't Middle Earth had an Industrial Revolution?
Well, good for them. Lawyers, you know.
In the UK, at least, the original NES was marketed/distributed by Mattel as a Mattel product, and they did an incredibly poor job. The Sega Master System was distributed expertly by Virgin Mastertronic who got much better retailer agreements in the UK. As a result, it was far more popular than it ever was in the US.

I think the ubiquity of the NES in the US impacted sales (and therefore software availability) of the Amiga and Atari ST as well.

Sega only began to gain mindshare with the Genesis (the US counterpart to the Mega Drive.) So, Atari has a very old retro cachet, and Nintendo has a solid hold on nostalgia from the late 80s on.
Dementia is preceded by many years of cognitive decline, it isn't something that just appears. A person with partially developed dementia that wouldn't get detected in a screen is still probably less likely to go get a flu shot, wouldn't you think?
I think slow aging/longevity are "hard". You need excellent repair mechanisms, and for nothing to go wrong for a very long time.

Random mutations can easily cause problems/chop some time off your lifespan.

The question is, do individuals within the species benefit from longer life spans? To what extant are age related problems contributors to the deaths of individuals within a species?

I would guess that a higher percentage of turtles at a reproductive age die of age related disease than reproductively mature rats.
I would guess that turtles are much better at withstanding the passage of time, because time is a much more significant killer of turtles.

Similarly, flying birds and bats tend to live longer than mammals of similar body mass, probably because predation is a less significant contributor to their mortality (and thus issues such as age, relatively more significant).
Primates may be an exception, but they're also rather good at avoiding predators.
As well he should. Iraq was one of the major suspects, especially that early. Having those plans, and preferably to never use them, is the very job of the defense department.

Brilliantly said. This is a way better argument than Apple itself is presenting. But it does boil down to the same thing: Security.

If you allow Chrome to be installed as a regular app (even if Apple allows JIT), it will not work. Therefore for a viable Chrome Browser Apple would have to provide APIs they probably stripped from the OS itself and putting it back will for sure hinder security.
If you believe that the only people who matter are the ones driving cars, then of course you're going to conclude that anything done to benefit other road users isn't worth it.

So we went through Swank for years and years. Those are the two distributors who have all the Hollywood movies. There are lots of smaller distributors, too.
