Would you tell an animal that? What about bacteria?

I think the optimistic view is fashion is cyclical and the contrary will become fashionable again.
Have you found any evidence of anyone lying about risks?

There are always an expected number of deaths in any period of weeks after (or without) a vaccination, subject to big random fluctuations. It should be obvious that (a) numbers cannot be interpreted correctly without education, and (b) people without such education finding numbers will insist on interpreting them anyway, some ignorantly, some with active malice.

What and how much to publish about numbers reported are hard choices I am glad I don't need to make.

Even publishing nothing, there will be spurious reports claiming to know official numbers, and spurious interpretations of spurious numbers. Your fragile trust is broken regardless, among people so inclined.
New divorce app to help couples split assets in New York without lawyers
We just launched Resolvy. It helps anyone going through a divorce understand what portion of the assets they can keep, and what portion is to be divided with their spouse. Deals with child support and alimony too. Currently only works in New York. Free to use. Can save Anyone going through a divorce in New York on legal fees.
It's an argument pro two-time scales and against two dimensional time just by looking at what math says about partially ordered sets. R^2 is clearly not partially ordered as opposed to R^1.
> I'm autistic and I feel like I have pretty good theory of mind. I may have been somewhat late in developing its sophistication as a child but certainly not to the point where anyone ever flagged me as dysfunctional in that way. As an adult I struggle with overly empathizing with other people, getting too involved in what I imagine their thoughts and experiences and motivations to be. I have complex models for all the individuals I interact with and have no particular problems developing them for new people.

Are you saying you're well-above average in being able to read neurotypical people in ordinary social settings? If that's the case, I don't think "autistic" is the correct description for your deviation from neurotypical. It's unclear to me if you're saying you have some kind of complex analytical models for people (to compensate for the inability to intuit) or merely that you are able to intuitively read people naturally neurotypicals do, in which case I'm not sure what you mean when you say you're autistic.

I'm fairly monotropic (so this is something I've paid a fair amount of attention to when observing others) but not even the least bit autistic. I also know a bunch of people on the autism spectrum as well as those that have varying degrees of monotropism. I don't see any particular correlation between the two, other than the fact that those on the spectrum tend to pay less attention to certain aspects of reality, while paying more attention to other aspects of reality, which makes neurotypicals feel that they are unusually focused.

Electric cars never happened? (1) Nearly all major auto companies had electric car programs, or even finished electric cars, before the first model S came out of a factory. And (2) it's not like electric cars will save us from whatever problems cars are currently causing, like pollution or the 2,000,000 annual dead from car crashes. Boring things like trains and re-thinking our cities for better walkability will. Not electric SUVs and tunnels for cars.

How do higher water prices not solve the problem? If farmers were beholden to trade offs about their water use they would likely be using substantially less water than they are now. Crops that use twice the water without a matching increase in profitability would disappear and water use would go down.

No one is getting millions of options/shares outside of founders and investors. A mid-stage growth start-up might give a few hundred thousand shares to a non-founding C-level exec, or a pre-IPO CFO taking point on going public might get close.

Right, but, for the third time, I was providing my input for a dev agency (not design agency) perspective. I was generally providing another perspective of input on fixed bid contracts.

I’m sure you can make fixed bid projects work with design agencies, and I agree that it will ensure the risk remains with the agency (but also that it’s possible that you end up spending more than with a carefully managed T&M project.

But, again, I’m not an expert at working with design agencies, and I’m not making any recommendations about the best way to work with a design agency.

It's not natural gas if you're synthesizing it!

Methane has some significant advantages over electricity: it's storable over time and can be used to fuel vehicles. About a third of the vehicles in this country are methane-fueled, in fact. A CNG tank is a hell of a lot cheaper than a car-sized lithium battery. If you go further and make the methane into kerosene you can fly airplanes with it. Airplanes can't fly while they're plugged into the grid.

a textbook example of an algorithm that works very well with union-find is the kruskal's algorithm to find the minimum weight spanning tree given a graph. Using union-find improves the time complexity of the algorithm from O(V²) to O(ElogV).

This happens because kruskal's algorithm essentially selects the cheapest edge not already included in our spanning tree that won't cause a cycle. So union-find is able to speed up this potential cycle check which would otherwise be naively quadratic.

I afraid I don't recall the status of DSP blocks in the open source toolchains for Xilinx hardware. Even if the basics are supported I'm sure there are plenty of DSP features that are not.

Many configurations of VexRISCV work fine without using the DSP blocks (and has been working for 2+ years), so not sure that is relevant.
> One reason is that only the transcripts of conversations from Farm Hall survive, not the original recordings. (Those recordings were never kept: Tape-recording technology was in its infancy in 1945, and the conversations were recorded on shellac disks that were resurfaced and reused after their contents were transcribed.)

Interestingly, during the war, it was the Germans who had made rapid advances in tape recording technology. It was in that same year that Jack Mullin acquired the German recorders from Bad Nauheim and would later demonstrate their technical superiority to amazed audiences in America: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetophon#History . Astounding to think that if that technology had been disseminated a bit earlier and faster, we might still have access to these recordings.

This isn't hard, as Larry Niven's Ringworld universe books are 1/2 "what if 1960s California culture was in space" and 1/2 "men reacting to high school physics problems".

The idea of unembodied sentience adds a fun to wrinkle to things like the transporter scenario "all your matter got destroyed and rebuilt somewhere else, is it the same you?" For instance, there's the Star Trek style "transporter accident" but now with a clear mechanism: if you shut down the servers, dumped all the data, spun up a second copy, who's who? Do they both have claim to the old memories and relationships? Property? Crimes?
I doubt copper would be used in that kind of thing. It's worse, but not that much worse.

Energy storage might not be an issue in a decade or so. There's no law of physics saying they can't make batteries without conflict metals. Eventually someone's going to invent a battery made of some cheap hydrocarbon you make by the tanker car, or that compressed Co2 turbine system will turn out to be the real deal, or they'll figure out magnesium air, etc.
> But I also accept that my experience may be an entirely artificial experience, like a movie projected on a screen, or that my brain might not be capable of comprehending the objective nature of the universe, or that even the concept of 'I' in this entire statement may in fact be objectively meaningless.

This is the content of the second meditation. Because you can be deceived, you are a thinking thing. In other words: there is no meaningful sense in which the concept of "deception" could be applied to you, were you not a thing ("a thinking thing") that could be wrong about your sense-experience, the universe, even your sense of "I".

That's what makes it a philosophical statement. You of course don't have to agree with the truth-value of it, but it's not clear that you've deflated the status of the statement itself.
That's what the actual old British ladies I know are like. The men are into model trains.

This is so relatable. I've been there and I'm really sorry you're going through this.

Is there something about you, something you like, that you could share with them? You're trying to enter their world, that can be tough. Can you bring them into yours? I know, for an introvert, that's a big ask. But we introverts tend to like a lot of things!

For example, I read tarot and do a bit of astrology. You'd be surprised how many people wanted a reading when I offered them, even one woman that I KNEW did not like me. People also know I see every big movie that comes out opening weekend. So that gives them something to me about, because they know I'm passionate about those things. On the flip side, one of my coworkers is teaching me about dnd. There must be something you do or have as a hobby or are interested in that could be a good conversation starter!

But it does take time, unfortunately. Hang in there.

The article doesn't pay much attention to the draw-down of aquifers, trouble mentioned in stories earlier this year.

"Bessire says far more groundwater is being pumped out than can be replenished, and most dry-area aquifers are disappearing, including two primary groundwater systems in the United States: California’s Central Valley aquifer, and the Ogallala Aquifer underlying heartland states from South Dakota to Texas. “If we lose these aquifers,” he writes, “we lose nearly 20% of the world’s grain crop, more than 40% of America’s beef production, and about 40% of the vegetables, nuts, and fruits consumed in the U.S."

How the Quantum-operated CPU does hack the RSA 4096?
We just made a new IoT device based on cloud, that uses the Email protocols to communicate (it’s like a FAX but with more options, also it can connects to other IoTs using the LoRaWAN & …); so because it will be in the intergovernmental or governmental office as an IoT device, in business plan, we need to complete the cyber-security issues; specially on protocols!
So after some months we are on launching section, then we found something strange about Quantum computers can hack the RSA 4096 encryption on emails! We can’t find the link on google now!

> Why do we still do so much farming in regions that have such marginal water supplies?

Often farmers don't pay for their water usage. Instead they paid once, long ago, for the right to some portion of the river (not sure how that's measured). As a result the amount that a farmer would save by halving their water usage is often $0, so they don't.
