Is it any server infrastructure that responds geographically close to the user?

Yes, mostly but it is used in a different way beyond serving content at low latency too. The term is also used for internet connected embedded devices who do not necessarily have a user.

Serverless stuff or V8 isolates do not always run in the edge but are able to run on the edge.

The difference between running on premise and running on the edge for serving content is that running on the edge has the same level of abstraction and dislocation as the cloud has. You do not know on what device stuff will run really.

The difference running embedded or running on the edge is that things runnings on the edge need to talk to some cloud and the cloud is important to the functionality of the device. Alexa boxes would be an example of such an edge device but so would be other embedded data acquisition devices which do some processing on board which is updated from and talking to the cloud.
> And burning/killing everything that lives on it ( since they are not interested in the people)

The hostile one yes, but in those areas you have strong pro-Russian sentiments. To the point that the local population collaborates with the Russian troops. And Ukrainian shellings on the rebel strongholds and secret police arrests of potential "traitors" is amplifying the polarization
Yes, you're correct, if the United States (and every other major tax-collectiong country?) collapses, I guess BTC will have won?

That should be pretty simple to rule out - compare the risk of dementia in people who improved eyesight by said treatments and those with poor eyesight and no treatment.

Since they recommend said treatment I would guess they made this comparison ?
Well that’s relatively easy. Some object (or particle if you like) appears out of nowhere and causes the events to happen that make it go time travel and appear out of nowhere and cause… you get the idea. Something caused the entire universe, before “time” was even a thing (or there is much more to it). Why couldn’t that something cause few events to cause themselves in an already “deployed” spacetime?

We observe causality

If we can’t observe something it may just mean it’s rare and/or hard to detect.

I understand that probability of me asking this first time is zero and people definitely brought that up and analyzed why this is not the case. I’m interested in reasoning and whether it’s just a rule, like conservation of information (is it so?), or if there is something fundamental preventing it completely.
It’s just Berliner Schnauze, don’t take it personally.

> Let me say tick diseases are going bonkers and a lot of people don't know they have it. Plus a lot of doctors won't believe or authorize tests.

The existence of Chronic Lyme disease is very controversial and diagnosing it can get doctors in trouble (depending on the jurisdiction.) Whether or not Chronic Lyme disease is real (I don't know), I think the general consensus of CLD diagnoses being quackery might bias doctors against diagnosing any sort of tick related disorders, particularly chronic ones.
Ask HN: Why is FB constantly showing me “First Amendment audit” videos?
I don’t like them, therefore I never watch them. I’ve even gone the extra mile and clicked don’t show me these videos. I’ve never liked or followed any of these pages, or any of their posts. And yet my FB Watch is full of these videos.
Even so, there are enough ESL readers on here, along with native speakers who may not understand the difference, that it makes sense to point it out once in a while.

Otherwise we end up in lose/loose situation where I see more people use it wrongly than correctly.
Market economy rule and binary thinking made that obvious. Everything has a price, therefore everything will be acquired, used and abused, dumbed down, disposed of, flushed away, before becoming the next market headline: Entrepreneur makes millions while extracting massive profits out of used wet wipes!

A way out? Nope. It's a maddening process we all have to fully and completely enjoy, ad nauseam, to the very end.
This was one of the motivations for `clip-retrieval`, a faiss index over the CLIP embeddings (CLIP ViT-L/14 to be precise) for all the captions/images in the LAION5B-Aesthetic dataset.

https://rom1504.github.io/clip-retrieval

Try the reverse image search - it can be shockingly effective.

You can pretty easily rehost the index or build a lookup over your own data if you check the GitHub repo.

If you don't have any data of your own, enter a query and hit that download icon to get a CSV of `URL,Caption,CLIP score`.
I don’t understand this. Are they epubs of comics or something? Epubs are already compressed (zip).

Misleading title. They successfully sued him, it's just that the damages awarded were "only" $150k out of their initial demand for $1.6mio.

Apparently, he posted a fake bomb threat which then caused police to interrupt a roblox community event.
> Lack of semiconductors takes a while to set in. I suspect that their tech will greatly decrease within 6 months.

I suspect so but in the longer term it may even be beneficial. If some technological business will still exist there they will need to establish their own silicon industry. And they have a pretty skilled labor force that could do that (if they don't flee en masse)
>I concur, recruiting now and everyone wants to use swift ui, but uikit, horrible as it is, is the only option for our complex ui

That's interesting. UIKit is by far my favoured UI development framework (whether on web or mobile). It's incredibly powerful, and also pretty damn easy to work with once you know what you're doing.

I feel SwiftUI might be favoured nowadays, only because the vast majority of devs come from a web development background. UIKit unfortunately has a pretty steep learning curve if you've come from a web dev background.
According to the CDC[0]:

"In 2015, almost two thirds (65.4%) of abortions were performed at ≤8 weeks’ gestation, and nearly all (91.1%) were performed at ≤13 weeks’ gestation. Few abortions were performed between 14 and 20 weeks’ gestation (7.6%) or at ≥21 weeks’ gestation (1.3%). During 2006–2015 the percentage of all abortions performed at >13 weeks’ gestation remained consistently low (≤9.0%). Among abortions performed at ≤13 weeks’ gestation, a shift occurred toward earlier gestational ages, with the percentage performed at ≤6 weeks’ gestation increasing 11%."

That's ~91% of abortions at less than/equal to 13 weeks.

What's more:

"[T]he abortion rate for 2015 was 11.8 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years, and the abortion ratio was 188 abortions per 1,000 live births."

There were 638,169 total abortions, with only 9% (~57,500) occurring after 13 weeks.

Consider that this includes fetuses with deadly/debilitating defects (including, but not limited to, Down's Syndrome, cystic fibrosis and spina bifida) as well as other issues that threaten the life of the mother, doom the fetus to a painful death after birth and/or condemn such a child to a lifetime of misery.

Many/most of those cannot be determined without an amniocentesis[1], which isn't performed until 14-20 weeks.

It's not clear how many >13 week abortions are performed in those cases, but it's likely that a significant portion are fetuses that will likely die before/soon after birth, have debilitating defects and/or threaten the life of the mother.

As such, the truth is that the vast majority of abortions are performed long before a fetus is much more than the length of your middle finger.

So no. "Late-term" abortions are extremely rare, with only ~1.3% (~9,000 out of ~4.6 million pregnancies) performed after 21 weeks. And likely many (most?) are fetuses that have been found to have serious defects/abnormalities and/or a full term pregnancy threatens the life/health of the mother.

I'm not sure what you think "abortion activists" are advocating.

I'd say they're advocating giving women the opportunity to save their own lives and/or prevent enormous suffering among babies with debilitating/life-threatening conditions.

To some extent, this should have been the perception all along. The data was:

- The older you were, the higher the risk.
- Preexisting conditions, higher risk
- Member of the financially marginalized, again odds are not in your favor
- Resident of an extended care facility, more risk.
- Etc.

Unfortunately, such facts and details didn't make for great "news". There was far more drama and false narrative in focusing on the aggregate, as a means to manufacture fear. The problem is, fear has a diminishing return.

This is not Covid denial. The virus is real. It's simply suggesting that transparency and vigilance isn't as profitable hyperbole and fearmongering. We pledged allegiance to a virologist when what we really needed was a sociologist. Ultimately, a pandemic is driven by human behavior. And finally, more are recognizing this.
They could serve you javascript that exploits your browser. At the very least, they could replace that bitcoin donation address with their own. That's a tempting target if nothing else.

There is a big difference between "We enable others to access data with user permission" and "your game play, activities and usage of games and Xbox Services will be tracked and shared with applicable third-parties, including game developers". The latter means that they leave the door open to that data being sold and shared with "partners" if it's convenient.
What kind of fairness can there be in charging for stolen books?

I love these little nuggets of history, but as any glance at any alternative history (video) essay tells you, there is never just one causal link and usually dozens of factors.

The 1860s were probably the high water mark for British power in the world, but as for weird things that chnaged all that try this one:

- Frederick Tudor created the ice industry (think what the hero from Frozen did), allowing storage of buffalo and cattle beef in trains and ice houses in chicago

- which travelled by boat through the great lakes and over the recently dug Eerie canal and out New York and across the Atlantic to cause world wide economic depression as agricultural societies collapsed due to the competition

- which meant traditional MPs and rural power was upended

- and new industrialists coukd afford to pay their politicians while the landed gentry found there was a massive rural depression

There are so many fascinating threads through history.
Question because I'm not familiar: if you need water to make hydrogen, isn't that an issue in countries that are having water issues, like India?
Vertical farming is far less resource intensive, using LEDS powered by solar or wind and gravity flow designs. I posted this in another comment but here is very brief video talking about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5clOYWsNhhk

I have other resources should you wish and I ton of personal experience. I have 3 Hydroponic systems (1 off the shelf, 2 custom designed by me) and 2 Aquaponics systems. The custom ones took 3 months to recoup the costs of materials vs the cost of produce, though the liquid fertilizer is a cost and input that I don't love. I've switched most of my effort to Aquaponics (Aquaculture - raising fish, which provides a natural fertilizer), I have 1 microsetup growing herbs and microgreens that has been running for 1 year. Only inputs are water and fish food, I clean it 1 once every 3 months since the plants act as a natural filter to clean the water.
I’m referring to the fact that employers sometimes lazily include certain requirements that are overkill for the task at hand and largely unwarranted. Do I need $trendyBuildTool when the project is five files with 100 lines of code that I can easily deploy without using such superfluous tooling?

I should get to pick my tooling yet also have baseline knowledge of HTML, JS, & CSS.

Learning a toolset just because it’s trendy and hyped up is backwards and doesn’t take into account that most projects will never be amazing Crystal Palaces or large abstractions.
In the US there's long been the meme of watching "both sides" of the news IE cnn and fox and assuming the truth is somewhere in the middle. I think by now it's been established that this is a false assumption and that you simply end up with two different sets of lies intended to distract you from thinking about whatever.

Likewise, while it's obvious that whatever comes from the Russian state media is complete garbage I think it's safe to assume that most of the news we see here in the west is also distorted propaganda as well; to some degree, at least. If by omission if nothing else ...what they say may be true, but it's clear they're leaving a lot of things out.

In short; treat everything like Pravda.
At least in Eastern Europe thats because they dont really have the time needed to help the patient.

Its a business and you have 10m to do all paper work, check patient and prescript something.

Its horrible. Doesnt help that private doctors are super expensive, dont care about you and dont believe you.

Health became just another accommodity only super rich can pay for.

You came back to a thread a day later to engage. That takes an unusual amount of dedication and patience.

An assortment of thoughts:
I hope you read How to Win Friends and Influence People. And it's not because you need it to know how to communicate. While I'm sure you'd learn a few things about talking to others, I suspect you'll learn something about the way various styles of communication make you feel. You can see it in the variance of of your responses in this thread. I'm not convinced that this is a core issue but seeing the way a few different comments have elicited affection combined with your comment about wanting to feel seen makes me think it could explain why the men who attract you so often tend to disappear.

It might be interesting to ask your dates at what point during the thread they decided they wanted to get to know you. I can imagine a more analytical person finding you appealing enough from the intro. But if I had to guess, this medium works for two reasons. The non-scalable one is that humans care more as they know someone better. The thread is long and you get vastly more mental attention than through other means of introduction. The scalable ones are attributes that come through in your comments but not in your post: You radiate earnestness and ebullience at a level that's rare even in humans a decade younger; you're indefatigably engaged; you have the patience to try and reason with almost anyone yet occasionally lose your temper which is further evidence of complexity; in short you appear human.
The original comment suggested putting the farm below apartment buildings ("below grade" means underground).

It's extremely costly to provide sufficient light to grown plants, as photosynthesis isn't terribly efficient. Natural sunlight is significantly stronger than what people tend to expect.

Not only that, but you would need to move massive amounts of air to keep the plants happy, plus the humidity from being underground and all the water they need. Beyond that, you need to go quite a bit underground to feed a sufficient number of people, which isn't always feasible depending on the type of soil and water table, etc

Final note, most plants do better not getting 24 hours of light. They can only grow just so fast and need to photosynthesize just so much.

That's a lot of work (meaning higher prices for people who need to eat) for very little gain.
Ammonia?

Schönefeld definitely won the award for most disgusting airport bathrooms in western EU, and most kafka-esque narrow winding hallways that may or may not be taking you where you want to go.
Frankfurt airport is marginally better. Flights stop in the middle of the runway. Take a bus. Buses are late. Walk for what feels like eternity. No regard for accessibility. I’ve met multiple senior citizens frail, waiting for their wheel chairs and worried that they’re going to miss their connecting flights.

As good as German engineering is, the airport infra is equally worse.

It’s a shame. I like flying lufthansa. They have the shortest flight times to Asia from the west coast.
She basically never had a temporal lobe... its not like parts of the neocortex are specially built for certain tasks.

Certain parts of the neocortex just happen to lie close to places where certain information from sensor input happen to flow. As such those said parts specialise in dealing with the information that they happen to be provided with.
This is a well-known play on FOMO - there is that bit about the inherent fear of missing out on being top of leaderboard/in-game items/bonuses/etc. What's fascinating is just how easy this mechanic is applied to so many modern games and apps, and how hooked folks become on it even though they know what's going on.

"Ugh... they implemented this for FOMO... but damn I can't skip playing this game for a day because I am going to miss out on the +1 bonus to agility that's gonna be awarded if I log in 7 days in a row."
Aquaponics and Hydroponics average 3-4x the growth rate and grow 24/7 (though you do need to provide lightless hours for proper fruiting). It's 100% viable and there are commercial operations right now.
My (uneducated) guess would be to look at the way patents last too long. So society ends up suffering, rather than benefiting from IP protection.
You cannot "get rid" of coal when 70% of your energy comes from it and there's not enough renewable energy infrastructure.

Err it’s more that tick-borne diseases cause anemia.

There are lots of things that cause anemia! And someone with unexplained anemia deserves a complete work up (especially with hemoglobin levels in the 4-5 range), including for tick-borne illnesses, especially if they have been in an endemic area. But lots of other things worth checking too, many more dangerous than tick-borne illnesses.
Seems unlikely, as "wary" appears to be the more common word (71M Google results vs 55M). Maybe some keyboard mistakenly does it though.
If insurance doesn't approve the test, it won't be paid for. Insurance also means US prices for tests are elevated to 10x what they "should" cost because providers expect insurance to knock the price back down to a reasonable cost. As a result, ordering a bunch of unapproved tests leads to huge out of pocket costs for patients so only the wealthiest will ever be willing to push for them.

Ironically, that same population also is the most likely to have insurance that will cover the tests in the first place. So it goes.
Thanks for the info, will switch from CRA as soon as I can :D

It's not terribly uncommon to find an epub with several megabytes of cover art and a few hundred kilobytes of text.
Unfortunately a hosted GitLab is downable when GitLab itself goes down. Same for all the other hosted source control and CI systems.

Given that many companies now tie their entire deployment process into their source control and CI/CD systems that means you really are reduced to exchanging patch files. For any non-trivial change in a large system that quickly becomes impractical and so development slows to a crawl or everyone literally gives up and goes to the pub.
Nice. After decades of high level software development, I’m starting to get back in to microcontroller/processor and “bare metal” development. I first learned to code with Basic and Assembly on the Z80 inside the early Sinclair products. I’m having fun now with the ARM cores in the various cheap Raspberry products (the Pi 4b and Pico so far).

I did come across the Ben Eater series which looks awesome too. (https://eater.net/). I’m excited to try and build a video card from scratch!

There’s so many options today it’s almost overwhelming. I’ve been trying to think how to best introduce my youngest without bewildering him. Anyone had success on a “low level” path with young kids that kept them entertained?

Reality is their initial plan was probably to force enough to commitments by Ukraine to hold Kiev to enable the campaign of slow, steady, encircle, advance, and repeat campaign in the East. It’s kind of how in chess you attack a line to pin pieces which would otherwise be used to counter attack.

People who thought Russia didn’t know the probability of taking Kiev in a blitz is effectively zero are propagandized.
Running costs.
