Thanks! Check out the threads about post quantum crypto and NIST evaluating candidate standards. We're going to need it, because space is going to be full of largely autonomous/ML quantum and classical computers. The only way we keep peace on earth over space conflicts is by providing space vehicles with enough autonomy to defend themselves, while still being subject to terrestrial policy. At some point we figure out only sending our smartest people out into the void is probably unwise from an evolutionary perspective, and so then the drone swarms we have out there are going to be where machine learning, economics, policy and physics meet. The remote sensing and signals capabilities are going to drive a lot of research funding. On earth, the prevailing nation will necessarily be the one that succeeds at manufacturing at scale, and maths.

May the odds ever be in your favour!

If you are talking about state governments in the US, that's approximately true.

If you are talking about the federal government, it's not, because the idea of a fixed purse is simply false. Spending and revenue are separate policy decisions that don't constraint each other.

In the 2010s people excised all the gogo dancers and atmosphere models and any woman monetizing her body from tech events, without asking their opinion on anything. Privileging one kind of woman’s thoughts over another.

Many of the performers were very thrilled to be at a specific company's events and were excited to make it an addition to their CV, their contribution mattered. They were not treated as individuals, they were treated only as a symptom of male preference and that their view didn't matter because they didnt have a cognitive heavy trade.

Nothing that isn't already happening. There is magnetite in many foods already. Often as inexpensive iron fortification.

Also, your cells are more robust to external reactive oxygen than bacteria.

The catalysis occurs when hydrogen peroxide is "activated" by the magnetite to produce singlet oxygen, which then goes on to damage biofilms and bacterial walls. Your epithelial cells are basically expendable.

Internal ROS isn't good, but that isn't the case here.

It will definitely be tough, but the Shinkansen at least proves its possible. Taking the Shinkansen is almost disorienting with how fast it is. Not so much its raw speed while in motion, but rather the fact that you hop in in a very normal-looking train station and a few hours later are so, so far away from where you started. I remember opening Google Maps and thinking there was something wrong with my GPS.
Sounds to me like it's targeting all the zero and one click exploits we've heard about over the last few years. Not having SMS/iMessage download and "parse" random files/formats and tightening up Javascript attack surface to not include JIT optimisations would probably have helped Jamal Kashoggi and his friends/contacts.

Even with this, there's not very much you can do against a state level actor who had physical control of your device and you, and a $5 wrench. Even without having you and being prepared to use violence, a sufficiently motivated state actor will probably get into your device anyway - Apple didn't6 cave to a judge when the FBI wanted them to break every iPhone user's security to get into the San Bernadino shooter's phone, but they didn't get to set a precedent there because someone else broke into that phone for the FBI anyway and they dropped that case...

I wonder how member of Congress justify that they need a special health care that is different from the public.

It seems to make sense and align incentives to have members use the same public systems (eg transport, education, health, housing) as everyone else, otherwise they will never understand how their policies affect real people.
In general, every heuristic in systems programming --- kernels z compilers, databases, whatever --- is an opportunity to substitute an ML system.

Pretty sure most things are stored encrypted/delivered encrypted only to be decrypted and rendered on your phone. Meaning Apple/your provider have nothing to give up for the hypothetical US government demand.
Agree with you, Reason is effectively dead, the "drama" part is that the decision came from nowhere, leaving the native devs with a sour taste and the frontend devs with a "Hey, we just changed the syntax without warning and will not support the old one anymore, good luck", which made me move all my projects out of reason ASAP, if the developers can pull out giant changes like that without warning, sorry, I will not use it, too unpredictable.

Also, rebranding instead of starting a new project sounds just like "it's my baby, I'm gonna kill the old project so no one that disagrees with my decisions can continue it".

> Some people in the Reason world blame the ReScript people for this, which I think is entirely misplaced.

You’re right about the comparison between airlines and systems like SABRE and healthcare.

You are mischaracterizing MUMPS which is now called M and has been updated many, many times since its invention and has a robust standard library of functions from M vendors.
That page specifies a rationale of: code loaded from C will not load the D runtime. Is it also possible to provide a C-callable shared D library that initializes the runtime dynamically? Would you then get some missing features like global constructors?

Googling around seems to suggest there is rt_init or Runtime.initialize for that?

I've never used D, I'm just curious about the problem described.

And many others do. The State can abdicate such power and it usually does in stable economies where markets can self regulate.

3. Merge the valuable contribution from the Holocene calendar.
I got a higher-end one as a present like a decade ago, I believe it was the Philips HX 6932/34 FlexCare.

Has a whole bunch of programs, most of which I didn't use, some I've come to like and wouldn't want to miss anymore; Extra white is for when you want to get them really polished, and gum care when you want to go to town with some gum message.

Getting the brush heads can be a bit of a running cost, original ones can be pricey, cheaper alternative "off-brand" brushes exist. But I'm not sure I want my gums brushed by something that alleges to be of some kind of material out of China.

Love the little UV box they can be bundled with; Usually will UV clean the brush head while showering, and when I get out to of the shower I have a freshly disinfected brush to toothbrush with.

Last year it started acting up, randomly turning on when not in use, until it didn't really work anymore.

Got myself the Philips Sonicare HX6850/57 ProtectiveClean 5100 as replacement. Not as high-end as the last one, sadly it also feels like it in build quality, but has all the programs I want and has been working fine so far.
My completely uneducated guess is that GCC reports the entire value of the DB pension as "income" for that year, whereas all other institutions correctly report just the increase in value.

> The out-of-pocket expenses displayed are estimated at 40% of the total medical cost, assuming that average major medical plans cover approximately 60% of the expense. Your major medical coverage may be more or less, and if an individual or family incurs expenses for non-covered benefits, these out-of-pocket expenses may increase potential unexpected costs. You will also need to pay for any limits or exclusions on your benefits which may include the number of refills for certain drugs, visits to certain specialists, or days covered for certain benefits.

No, there's an "Always Free" tier, at least with GCE.

https://cloud.google.com/free

For a ZNC bouncer, an e2 micro instance is the right option.

https://cloud.google.com/free/docs/gcp-free-tier/#compute

1 non-preemptible e2-micro VM instance per month in one of the following US regions...

30 GB-months standard persistent disk

5 GB-month snapshot storage in the following regions...

1 GB network egress from North America to all region destinations (excluding China and Australia) per month

The reason IRC can't have a bouncer capability is that you're then unbounded in terms of storage and memory requirements. IRC, as implemented, is an insanely light server to implement. I ran a college IRC network with a few dozen users on a pair of Mac SE/30s back in the 2002-2004 era - 12MB and 16MB RAM.

If you want something persistent, run your own bouncer, or use Matrix or something.

Message comes in, message goes out. You don't need much of any actual storage, it's mostly in the network buffers, and IRC tends pretty aggressive about killing off clients that aren't taking traffic.

The lure of only having two ports, both of which are identical, and can be used for absolutely everything, is powerful. It’s pretty cool to take the laptop home and plug in one single cable to hook it up to my desk, though it’s really only a few seconds less than separate power, usb, and audio cables once you figure out how to keep them from getting lost under the desk.
Avoid cross-contamination by washing your hands thoroughly and giving different sponges their own jobs. It's possible to decontaminate a sponge in the microwave if it's wet and generates a good amount of steam. Putting sponges through the dishwasher is also effective. But if they smell bad, you should probably just throw them away.

Like others have said, it all depends on the ridge. In this case it is the southern half of the Full Palisade Traverse[1] which is a very technical ridge with long sections of 5th class climbing[2].

One way of looking at is that these guys have been moving 12 +/- hours a day in the mountains for a few months now and they've covered just over 2 miles of the ridge in 10 hours today so it better be pretty hard!

No that’s not what happened. Obama came up with a toothless proposal and once ACA was passed he didn’t push further because he didn’t want to piss of the AHA.

So it languished for 6 years with no movement. Trump came in a added it with an executive decision, and it was then that there were legal challenges that were denied. And that’s how we got here.

Like I said, Trump is the worst president of all time but give him his dues when he deserves them. This is one of them.

This is also leaving out the part that this 'journalist' doctored a video about a person and posted it that is causing islamists to give the person beheading threats. 2 people who supported her have already been beheaded. This 'journalist' also has several allegations of fake news of his own. So it's not so black and white.
