FB market place fucking suuucks.

The few times I've posted stuff, I was inundated with phishing attacks. I was talking to a friend about it, and he actually fell for one of the attacks and had to spend a shit load of time getting his phone number back after they stole it. I actually found guidance from, I think, the FCC on what to do if you're the victim of this. Suggesting that this is a serious problem that FB isn't effectively dealing with.

CL all day, especially for the kind of stuff I buy and sell.
Yeah, don't take paracetamol if your liver is already busy getting rid of the alcohol. However, both alcohol and ibuprofen increase the risk of stomach bleeding, so don't overdo it with ibuprofen either. I'm sometimes shocked how nonchalantly people mix residual alcohol with drugs without checking side effects.

PS: Paracetamol is a drug with pretty low side effects, but the dosage is really important. Even just doubling or tripling the dose can cause acute liver failure.

Mittens himself has driven a lot of the toxic environment in Eve. He's no innocent flower here and it's laughable to paint the criticism he gets as anything but justified. Unfortunately, Goonswarm has a lot of toxic people at all levels (but particularly in management positions) and that won't change just because he's leaving.
In the same spirit is John Barnes's I Hate Snark [1] blog post. An excerpt:

> Snark is the universal solvent of cultural conversation. Someone mentions Hemingway; you mention cross-dressing, drinking, and short choppy sentences. Not only did you not have to read Hemingway, you have one-upped the other person by not having read it; you know more about it than they do because you know the important thing, that Hemingway doesn't need to be read.

The Electromagnetic Vector Potential field, usually labeled A is also something that many treat as merely a mathematical convenience. However, it can be directly observed using a Superconducting QUantum Interference Device (SQUID).

It is fitting that we use a similar quantum phenomenon, oscillations of the Cesium atom to measure time.
The title of this article should have also included trafficking. While it has an overlap with prostitution, it is a heinous, misunderstood, and overlooked issue. It was also the primary reason for why Craigslist removed the Personals section.

The Department of Homeland Security has a great section on their website about human trafficking, what it is, how to identify it, how to report it, and so on:

https://www.dhs.gov/blue-campaign/what-human-trafficking

Also, Girls Educational & Mentoring Services (GEMS) has been doing a great job at not just helping to raise awareness of the issue, but also has directly helped trafficking victims get out of dangerous situations and back onto healthy paths in life:

Given that I only have one life, I actually only care about the cost in lives, not cost per mile.

The way we design our society impacts how much we are forced to drive. Our current plans force people to drive more and more.

Even without increasing miles, deaths by cars are somewhat decreasing, especially compared to decades ago, and I've posted those graphs elsewhere in this thread.

The real way to decrease car deaths isn't to decrease deaths per mile, it's to allow people to avoid the risk at all in the first place.

Because a lot of these deaths stents even from people in the cars, it's from cars ramming into those who haven't gotten in cars but still must risk exposure to them in order to live in the world.
I doubt this -- starting means developing the user experience (phone friendly probably) and also getting people to hear about it (marketing). Both are hard, what you say is the easy part.
These are only the migratory population.

I always thought they were all migratory, but I guess some populations stick around in areas and aren't in as much danger.

I see them not infrequently on the East Coast.

> Can you share any compiler benchmarks showing Rust compiles slower than C++?

You got to do this yourself because YMMV

My projects don't use many includes and little templates. So C++ is more than 4x faster. I think in one case it was 10x faster but other people might claim I'm cheating because most people don't write code that way. If you often write template heavy code or need to include many large headers you'll get different results

So this is weird because there seems to be a real groundswell of effort to resort to bothesidesism particularly on topics of China and Russia.

The situation is not "a mess" ethically no. One side (Russia) walked into a country and started blowing up entire cities full of people. Literally Mariupol formerly a city of 431,859 people is a wasteland of rubble with an estimated pop of 100k. Are all those people dead? No, most are displaced but the callous way in which Russia has resorted to the same truly despicable war tactics it used to level Grozny again, here, in a sovereign nation should make us weep.

It feels like the internet is in large part fuelling this truly horrifying miracle of humans trying to "level" the narrative.
Depending on the bar and the city, a $20 Guinness is readily achievable today.

How our brains respond to circumstances is essentially chemical. Perhaps some peoples brains don't do well without a particular cultural or social context and we ultimately see that at the physical level with the chemical changes that result from it. Maybe the brain is really saying "change the circumstances" and we're interpreting it as "chemical proportions are off and/or chemical receptors are responding differently" and seek to correct the physical component.

I know there are people who are chronically depressed but I don't know how to untangle them from the context in which their disease exists. The only way to really know would be to try adapting them to wholly different circumstances and see whether or not the way the brain responded changed as a result.
Why don't we (Europeans) use nuclear power in the winter and solar in the summer?
It seems to make perfect sense but I haven't read any plans like this.

Reactors need regular lengthy maintenance and are easy to cool in the winter, while solar panels are cheap and can be placed everywhere but are almost useless during wintertime.
Reactors could even provide heating in the winter while ACs are the perfect consumers of solar energy when the sun is the strongest.

Storing enough heat/electricity for the entire winter on the other hand seems completely futile; there is no technology that can be scaled up enough without sounding like it came straight from Perry Rhodan.

IIHS safety tests are getting more aggressive on pedestrian safety. And as their results have a huge impact on what the manufacturers do, I expect that in two years time a) a TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating will require passing a night-time pedestrian test, and b) manufacturers will figure it out.
I am running Lockdown Mode on iOS and iPadOS right now. Generally I like it, but some web sites don't seem as responsive and the Mastodon web app uses a few web fonts that don't show up.

Here is some irony: the linked article caused Safari on my iPhone with beta iOS 16 and Lockdown Mode to immediately crash every time I visit the page (about 5 tests trying to load the page). I have not seen that problem in any other web site.
The amusing thing about your comment? I could immediately think of at least one way to do it in Mercurial, whereas with git I didn't - I would have to Google it.

And in the last 3 years I used Git a lot more than Mercurial.

The current situation comes from:

- delayed maintenance due to covid

- usual reduction of output due to heat and water temperature limits

- and the big one: worse than expected corrosion on some pipes

https://world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/French-regulator-giv...

"The fault seems common to a whole series of France’s reactors. The shutdowns affect four of the largest N4 reactors of 1,500 megawatts, five 1,300-MW, reactors of similar design, and three 900-MW units. This, on top of a series of outages at 18 other reactors for repairs, updating, or regular safety checks, has left France with the lowest nuclear output in decades."

https://www.edf.fr/en/the-edf-group/dedicated-sections/journ...

"All of these events require EDF to adjust its French nuclear output estimate for 2022 to 280-300TWh"

For reference nuclear produced 442 TWh in 2011 in France

Capacity factor will be 55-60% at best in 2022 for nuclear.
One need only look to the lore of Ingress to see the real aims here. Niantic, or, the NIA, has always had intel and manipulation in mind (you could almost say they aspire to be "shapers").
They'll say we had hot eeather in the past.
>did the woke people tarnish the word, or did opposing media re-define it?

It’s the latter.

“Woke” is mostly used nowadays as a pejorative by folks who are worried that their “tits or GTFO”-style post histories might actually have real consequences and are involved in a harried attempt to rewrite contemporary social mores in their favor.

It is also used (in the US) by naive, misguided, and mostly older people that are genuinely trying to signal some sort of connection to progressive politics, generally with limited knowledge of them.

Either way it’s a word that I personally use as a sign not to engage with the person speaking because either way it’s somebody asking for (or demanding) a free education about stuff they refuse to google.
Ah you were talking about “woke extremism”… I think that word is overused but Eve is a in love and war all is fair kind of game.
That concerns not only ibuprofen but it may cause heart or kidney issues. I think it can't hurt trying to only take it as a last resort.
“Balance” arguments are always fallacious and only lead to increasing surveillance. The real conversation should be about limiting surveillance to only what is absolutely necessary and proportional.

“Balance” gets you to “Well, we would put the cameras in every room of your house, streaming back to law enforcement, but we’re willing to find a balance between privacy and security so we won’t put them in your bathrooms”. Whereas of course, assessing whether it’s necessary or proportional, putting streaming surveillance cameras in people’s houses would fail both tests.
Interesting. However, a matched filter is the optimum detector wrt maximizing SNR of the output signal (the features).

https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/matched-fil...

I wonder if this technique has been tested in “noisy” signal environments? Or is this just useful in infinite SNR applications?
I would have thought that the CBE was one of the reasons they chose the ps3 over conventional servers though ?

Would you still be aloofly invoking the legalist stance, as if it's ridiculous to demand that laws be just? No, you would be kicking and screaming and crying because of how unfair it is.

The rule of law exists precisely because of the temptation to think with our "empathy" instead of our brains.

It's not a surprise if you look at the Ibuprofen packaging used in US supermarkets... There's a picture in the article of such a supermarket aisle. You can buy a 750- or even 1000-pack for a few dollars. WTF, how is it a good idea to sell painkillers in such quantities in supermarkets?

If you sell drugs like candy people will eat it like candy.
I used to offload my used stuff on Craigslist. I was swamped with people intentionally trying to waste my time only to be lowballed at the last minute. Out of principal I would always tell them to F* off. I used to take adds down after the first person who agreed to buy it, these days the ads stays up until the money is in my hand, and I insta block anyone who tries to negotiate. Often it’s still too much of a hassle so I just donate it to charity.
> or... I am already using it.

For something I am already using and actively repel (because I have to use it but hate it) I do the following: I click on every ad I can find, because they advertise a lot, to make them pay 1.30 usd per click for nothing. I'm only seeing this ad now, everywhere.
I can recognize myself a lot in what you are experience. I have had a limited amount of seniority to learn from recent year and have found book a real gold mine of interesting ideas. I learned so much from reading and that is what drove me to my side project (https://www.programmingbooks.dev) that is all about helping people to read more technical books.

Want to share any technical books that have affected you? Any favorites?
The problem is destruction of native plants and habitat. Monarch butterflies only use milkweeds, such as swamp milkweed and common milkweed. It’s my understanding that they like those two the most but maybe which milkweed they prefer is region dependent.

If one wants to help the monarchs, and several other pollinator species, then plant swamp and common milkweed. They grow very easily and actually have pleasant blooms.

It’s almost as of the problem couldn’t be simpler to solve. Just plant these and watch how much activity they generate almost immediately. I did it and have been seeing monarch butterflies lately. Not a lot, but some.
Said vector doesn’t span all of 3D space though. It is a one dimensional vector.

x, y, and z are just shorthand for orthonormal basis vectors. What you’ve described isn’t “traveling in all three dimensions” simultaneously, it’s traveling along on of the dimensions with a different basis.
Maybe this depends on regional policies?

I just had an experience last month with a host canceling and they wouldn't give me a coupon for more then 30% of the value of the stay. But the stay that had been cancelled was a month-long and it was cancelled 8 days in.

Rebooking with just a 30% coupon was impossible, even after 20+ hours on the phone, and I ended up giving up to book my colleague a hotel for a few nights. (I still haven't been reimbursed by Airbnb either, and I will never expect to.)

I'm glad to hear that not every experience is terrible, but it's also annoying that it seems to be random based on region or the rep you get.
Peak HN comment.

Yes I'm sure this ultra-orthodox community of Hasidic Jews was indoctrinated into anti-vax beliefs on Facebook

There is probably a lot more "cancellations" recently give inflation and Covid hence the update to AirBnB policy.

I'm sure many booked holidays a year ago at great rates when people couldn't travel and hosts desperately needed cash flow. Now that bookings are approaching (hotels do this as well) hosts are cancelling bookings and selling them to others who will pay a much higher price.
Well, it’s not really about specific subcultures, the Autotune comment for example was from random people from different walks of life, different ages. It's just that I happen to work with it sometimes, and I slip some mad facts into conversations... you know, to be interesting. But then people drop the "dId YoU kNoW tHaT AuToTuNe iS jUsT aN eFfEcT" thing and I'm like AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA not again.

All my friends, acquaintances and groups that I see daily are also kinda new, seeing I moved countries and barely see old pals, so I doubt it's about being stuck in a group.

And it's not really about hearing the same things as from N years ago. It's more about hearing the same information from 10 different people. Before I would hear a piece of information from one or two, despite having access to pretty much the same number of people. There is definitely more information online, but people are looking at the same things! Things weren’t as homogeneous as they are now.
It's pretty much the only place to buy used heavy equipment fwiw.

I was surprised like you too, but later I realized that people were popping pills at that rate because it is used as substitute for primary care which is both expensive and sometimes not easy to schedule, unless it ER getting an appointment can take a lot of time here .

Took me a week to a see a dentist, I popped more pills than last 10 years to keep going for a week before I could get prescriptions that actually solved the problem.
No, they depended on Google Glass coming out with them -- which they were about to, back when Ingress was still in Beta. Glass flopped, and Niantic floundered, but got a new lease on life thanks to the April Fool's Joke that was Pokemon Go.
>> As a German person

> It's not about anybody's nationality.

I don't think 'suction' wanted to imply it'd be about nationality, but rather about culture. Germans are known to be very orderly and doing business with Germans often becomes very (!) contractual. And they will happily slap you the contract around your ears, should you miss/neglect the one or other point, that has been written down.

Source: I am from Germany and knew people, who did business with Germans, and that's exactly what they said.

Sony subsidizes the cost of the hardware, in order to sell games. They were not happy with the Airforce doing this and it probably played a role in Sony pushing out an update that disabled Linux on all PS3s.
In my experience with corporate structures, what is typically lost in communication is recognition. That's not to say you aren't receiving credit for work, but rather that no one is patting you on the back for it. The realization that other people know you exist usually only occurs when there's a problem and someone circumvents the hierarchy to get a faster resolution.

Taking credit for other's work though... that usually ends badly for the individual who is taking credit.

Maybe I've been fortunate in my career but the pattern I've observed is that good bosses always attribute successes to their team (e.g., we were able to do it) and failures to themselves (e.g., I missed that).
I'm sure plenty teams at engineering companies do. These people mostly are not SW developers by training (i.e. they write SW incidentally), and SVN is an order of magnitude easier to use than git.
If any one thing killed Craigslist it was Facebook Marketplace. I used Craigslist to buy and sell things for years; I didn't even know about FB Marketplace until a friend recommended it. I swallowed my hatred of FB to give it a try and it was easily a far better experience than CL at the time. Of late I've noticed that it's become a haven for scammers which is a pretty reliable indicator of success (the scammers go where the buyers are).
I can only imagine that this comment was written in total ignorance of the CIA's storied history. Suffice it to say that it is not a government agency like any other [1]. If "former" FSB agents held key positions controlling social media content in your country, that would likewise not be concerning, right?

And regardless of just how scarlet the letter should be that "ex" CIA employees carry, it goes without saying any (social) media organization that wants to maintain even the thinnest pretense of neutrality and independence cannot give "ex" intelligence agents, of any country, editorial control.

It’s a is ref to https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0050.mediawi... however I don’t think that’s really in the same class to the Eth chain split. It was a db bug, it got fixed, “infra” bugs. Eth was a forced onchain state fix. “Business logic bugs”.

It is disingenuous to point to the 2013 incident and say this proves a lack-of-decentralization myth.
A not uncommon scenario. Here's how the first "upper endoscopy" was performed in the 1950s, after a GI fellow at the University of Michigan read a foundational paper about fiberoptic cable in Nature:

Hirschowitz, like a lot of fellows and young researchers in science, first tested the device on himself in February 1957. He managed to control his own gag reflex, passed through his esophagus and looked around in his own stomach. He then scoped a patient indicated on the slide as patient #2. A most remarkable aspect of this discovery was that it was not supported by grants and was carried out by a GI fellow, and two physicists who worked very hard to create this incredible advance.

The same talk also notes the Australian researcher who discovered the role of Helicobacter pylori in curing stomach ulcers tested the culture on himself:

He stated that his halitosis was so bad, that his wife told him that he had to sleep on the couch. After the infection was established he treated himself with the anti-Helicobacter therapy and completely recovered.

This is a company of 60k people. Take issue with their hiring sure, but using the hiring of a couple staffers who are former govt data analysts (these aren't Jason Bourne/blackwater types) to define the company is silly.

Now if we are looking at Tiktok's parent company, which has CCP members on their board, I think it is more fair question the motives of the company there.

I'm not completely convinced. I'm sure it always helps, and I'm sure in many cases it's a necessity in order to sell the product.

I'd like to believe that there are some products that are good enough and solve pressing enough issues so as to sell themselves. It's probably a naive hope, but I like to cling to it.

I wish there were enough honesty in sales as to not leave such a sour taste.
