I thought this was already a thing? I have my Spanish driving license on my phone via MiDGT (published by the Directorate-General for Traffic which is the government entity responsible for traffic/road in Spain), do other EU countries not have this too? I thought it was EU-wide but maybe it's just in Spain.

I feel mortality rate is impacted by relevance. When you feel you are irrelevant, it won't matter much..you give up and move on.
Yes but the EU already has digital signatures.

Also if the private cert is in the Secure Enclave it’s harder to leak.

"If TMAO is their answer, however, they should really be warning against fish, not meat. Cod yields 65+ times more TMAO than beef, and halibut, at least 100 times more, according to a 1999 study that examined the effects of 46 foods on TMAO excreted in human urine. Carrots, cauliflower, peas, peanuts and potatoes also lead to far more TMAO than beef."
It's a great app, but it doesn't cancel anything. It produces noise.
>> Any thoughts as to the theoretical feasability of this?

and if I request an identify function as the computation of interest?

The use case I'm most familiar with is petabyte storage of raw satellite feeds (along with digitised air photos, multi spectral data, etc) and a requested computation that georeferences and mosaics raw data and combines and enhances spectral bands in various ROIs for specific purposes.

It's a pipelined functional programmin data transformation .. with no specific reason to keep the raw imputs secret, the intent is to make them useful via transform.
I thought it might be, but I wasn't sure...

Mind you, in my first job, we had a full professional system, written in GWBASIC.

It was 300-400kB of code, in modules of under 64kB each. There was one big module that set up all the variables, then it loaded the other ones in on top of itself. Variables stayed in memory, so there was no need to explicitly pass values between modules.

All very modular, with a big block of REM statements detailing what would be found in memory, under what names, etc.

It was fast, on a PC-XT class machine with a hard disk. It ran on anything, even with no memory management. The runtime was included with DOS, so the company didn't need to include anything extra.

When my employers started out, they were very small and a copy of QuickBASIC would have cost too much.

This app cost many hundreds of pounds in the mid-1980s. By the end it was £200-£300, bespoke customised for every client.

My boss wrote it and really wanted to modernize it. His boss wouldn't let him. In the end, he quit and started his own company.

I quit that job and went to work for my former boss, who rewrote it in QB4, removing all the line numbers and making it one big monolithic structured app, compiled.

But TBH that didn't add any functionality, made on-the-fly patching much harder, and meant it was up against full-fledged professional apps.

(The niche was that I lived on the Isle of Man, which has unique tax laws. British payroll apps are no use; American ones, worse. But expensive pro-grade apps were very customisable and could be made to fit.)

CP/M only handled 64kB of RAM and that needed to fit the OS too. Lots of business software ran in that space.

TL;DR: you can (or could) write useful professional apps in an interpreter with a 64 kB code+data size limit. Big ones, if you're rigorous about modularity.

In all likelihood, diet, exercise, and sleep. Aside from managing chronic conditions through doctor’s visits this seems to be the only thing that can actually improve quality of life. High levels of physical activity seem particularly key.

If there was a magic pill, that would be great, but don’t think there is any high quality evidence.
The most immediately effective thing parents (or anyone) could do for longevity is begin to see the ground of being itself as divine, and then join a religious community of other people who see the divine life in a similar sort of way. People who belong to these kind of transcendentally oriented communities enjoy longer lives....according to SCIENCE itself.

Because they're a business, not a charity.

They also do this the right way and upstream device support before they sell the device, so they don't have to support it. Upstream OpenWrt are already doing it.
Example from today - I was in a supermarket and all self-checkout machines that accept cash were defunct except one, so there was a huge queue of people who wanted to pay with cash and no queue of people paying with card.

I see that there is a silent war on cash - they try to make it as inconvenient as possible and then claim not enough people use it to sustain Cash Points, cash self-checkout etc.

Digital money remove agency from people. You no longer own it - you just have access to it that it can be withdrawn on a whim (see Trudeau casus) and then they will be deciding what you can or cannot buy based on your profile.
Google about CBDC - programmable money that is in the works. Cash stands in the way.
> I just ordered the Kona EV (expecting delivery next week). What are your thoughts on it?

I'm very, very happy after 2.5 years of having (leasing) it. I've got a pre 2020 model though, these are the points that are not good imho:

- Got the big battery (64 kWh) but the internal charger is a small one (4.5 kW), so loading on normal wallboxes takes a long time. Newer models got a bigger charger (11 kW, I think), which is great. I can charge at work though, so no big deal for me most of the time as the car is standing around all day anyway.

- Charging network data is outdated (EU model), so I don't use the internal navigation to find charging points. Lead me to non-existent chargers twice, won't happen a third time. That's sad because the integration is nicely done with "find a charging point along your route" when the battery level gets too low. Good idea, bad execution.

- Android Auto is only available via a wired connection. So you're fiddling around with USB cables in your center console, then there's not a real good place to lay your smartphone down (with the usb cable sticking out! got an angled one now, still not perfect), something always dangles around in the middle there.

- There's a little "the car is in D, be careful"-icon in the display. It stays on, even when you're driving 160 km/h on the Autobahn. I KNOW IT'S IN D. Would prefer to get that clutter out of the display, but that's a minor point.

Besides that I think it's a great car. Lots of things have improved with the 2020 model, too, I think. The bigger charger (by default?!), Bluelink for remote connectivity, also I prefer the look of the newer models with the smooth front.

I still have 2.5 years left till the end of my lease but I can totally see myself getting another Kona then.

Also: The "Eco" drive mode normally provides you with enough acceleration for everything. But I'm guilty of sometimes using the "Sport" mode to embarass tailgaters or highly motorized cars. "Sport" mode is also great to shock people and push them in the seats who have never driven an electric car before. :-D

Enjoy the car!
The NMN research didn't pan out in the end, just throwing that out here.

There is something involved in NMN, but taking it (or any of the precursors or metabolites) alone doesn't actually seem to reliably cause what they were looking for.

Most likely, it's something like the curcumin vs ground turmeric issue (curcumin doesn't work alone, it combines with another chemical found in turmeric to produce the active chemical, and none of the curcumin supplements work), or with glucoraphanin and myrosinase to produce sulforaphane (popularized by Dr Rhonda Patrick; sulforaphane is short lived, and you need to package them correctly to not self-react in a supplement while it's sitting there on a shelf, so the delivery mechanism is the hard part), or with the flavor of garlic, allicin, another short lived chemical produced by alliin and alliinase (which is why crushing garlic is important instead of slicing, and ground garlic and factory produced minced garlic will never have that magical flavor).

Also, as for Omega 3, watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-f-CFQxaUY4 Dr Rhonda Patrick interviews Dr Bill Harris; the main take away from this isn't that it works (we all know that already), it's what the dose range is: we're all underdosing.

everything. I don't think it will be safe enough.

It won't. I believe we are actively setting up not only the biggest
ever terrorist attack on civilised nations, which will dwarf 9/11, but
potentially setting up a total and irrecoverable collapse. I find it
increasingly hard not to think this is deliberate because I am unable
to comprehend the colossal stupidity of our current trajectory viz
"smartphones". It's like we want this to happen. Smartphone

Does GitHub provide a way for maintainers to rank features/issues, or allow users to vote for them?
Same deal with dubstep records.
Maybe posting a guide to saying you're not interested is a stronger statement than a button? For example, the guide could suggest creating a label that you use when something won't be prioritised given present conditions. Or whatever is the direct-but-not-offensive way to reject a request.
As far as I know, generalization of parser-compiler is more for academic purpose ("language" theory, where deep truths about languages could be discovered).

It seems that too often, one needs to modify the code of the parser-compiler itself, and a generic parser-compiler is usually "expensive" code, then it is better to write one taylored for his/her needs.
> One does not have to be a colonialist or carry bias to have misconceptions about the midevil period.

No obligation indeed, but there is a historical correlation, at least where i come from (France). Myths about the medieval era as times of barbarism and suffering have emerged with the "renaissance" (and its witch hunts which did not take place during the medieval era) then the "enlightenment" (Lumières) of the 18th century.

That's entirely correlated with the emergence of the "civilizing mission" of republican colonialism [0], whereas king/church-driven colonization before that was based on the idea that colonized peoples were not human and did not have a soul, as was ruled during the Valladolid trials of the 16th century [1].

In Western Europe, to my knowledge, it took until the late 19th/early 20th socialist/anarchist thinkers (Friedrich Engels, Pierre Clastres) to recognize that there were different cultures and that social/societal progress was not universal and linear. These ideas are still not really accepted across society as the entire field of economics is based on the idea of linear material progress and that those poor "backwards"/"underdeveloped" peoples need help from us "enlightened" westerners (see also David Graeber for a critique of such productivity metrics [2]).

[0] For example, a famous french politician who's remember in the nationalist propaganda as the father of public schools (Jules Ferry), would say that it's "the role of more civilized peoples to educate the lesser peoples".

I think one reason transhumanism will never truly take off is because whenever something can be done more efficiently without potentially harming one's body, that's the winning piece of technology. Sure, we could try to make body mods that allow us to fly, but we already have helicopters and airplanes (not to mention jetpacks). Yes, we could make ourselves super smart by trying to integrate our minds with the Internet and AI, but we already have smartphones in our pockets.
Not necessarily. A person could remember a password that contains name of their loved one differently in their brain than some arbitrary string of letters and numbers. Those letters and numbers can each be "encoded" differently in their brain - e.g. maybe the letter 'S' is linked in their brain to snakes because it kind of looks like one. Or any kind of weird connections of certain parts of the password to a smell they smelled twenty years ago. This would all deeply affect how the actual string of character is actually "stored" in the brain.

Yes, after you'd extract the password from their brain, you would then convert it to a string of bytes and store it on your digital storage device, but you were talking about accessing data in a human brain.

The point is, human brain is weird when looked at from point of view of data storage. :)

It can be a "party drug" if you dose low, especially if you are chilling at a bar with friends. Just pushes you into a slightly better mood. I'll rather have a microdose with some beers than getting shitfaced drunk, feels subjectively healthier to me.
Last time I checked (4-5 years ago) this was true for international airports but not all land crossings.
It’s happening already, as noted in my comment above. A fair number of venues in the UK no longer accept cash payments.
> Still though, surely someone has tried my idea

Well, AFAIK some cars have active noise cancelation. I wonder why we don't have it at homes, after all they are both confined spaces. If general purpose computation and software wouldn't cut it, why we don't have whatever they have in those cars? A lot of money is spent on noise insulation on buildings, so the demand and the money must be there.
Thank them for their request, say you're busy, never implement it.
It depends entirely of the country. For example, Poland and Portugal have digital driver's licenses, but France and Germany do not.

I mean, is it really that bad if it sends some code up to amazon cloud / your account to let it know you just bought a new sofa or such?

What’s the concern? We are going to see more and more things like this in the coming years. A lot of this can be helpful to us, a lot helpful for the companies sometimes more than us, but does it really hurt us that much?

It’s not like there is someone at amazon monitoring everything you do like they are watching big brother staring you, is just some data sent to the cloud with an algorithm that does something about that. I think people are just a little jumpy about it.

What we do need is some transparency about what data is being sent, it would be good if there were laws and we were able to see exactly what it had collected and what they had done with it, then i am okay with it.
Indeed. Abaci have been used for millenia.
On the contrary, some species have already obliterated most other life on earth namely cyanobacteria during the great oxigenation event. Possibly others have done the same. They certainly did not care at all about the destruction they caused. All of this was perfectly "natural".

That of course does not mean we should follow their example. It just means that "natural" is not a useful term.
I’m interested to know more about how NMN/Metformin/Resveritrol didn’t pan out in humans as all the mice studies seemed quite promising.
One interesting thing is the perception of Jogalia aka Władysław II Jagiełło (King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania) by Polish and Lithuanians nowadays. I'm pretty sure he's quite cherished historically in Poland due to his relatively stable rule and rather famous wars waged against Teutonic order, incl. battle of Tannenberg (the OG battle).
On the other hand, it seems that there was a period when Jogalia was perceived in a rather negative light by Lithuanians. Not sure if 'traitor' is the right description of that sentiment, but definitely getting into a personal union, that ultimately led to the formation of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, seems to be judged rather unfavourably. From what I could understand, the dominance of Polish in that union was detrimental to the Lithuanian identity over time?

If anybody knows to what extent and for what exact reasons we see those differing pictures of the same person by peoples of two countries that constituted the same political body for quite some time, I'd be interested in hearing some details.

As with most technology, there are more pros of keeping phones out of our bodies, so that "yet" might just need to be replaced with a big "if".
The self checkouts are a problem in themselves. Where I have the choice, I will always go to a human operated checkout line. I would prefer people have jobs, rather than seeing them taken over by the self-service option.

Also in the UK recently I encountered for the first time a supermarket where self-service was the only option. As I was buying beer, before I would complete my transaction it had to be approved by a human, which seemed to defeat the purpose.
You really think that most people prefer wired headphones than wireless? How many Android users - mostly on low end phones since high end Android phones also don’t have headphone jacks - actually prefer wired headphones?

You also act as if iPhones only work with AirPods and not any cheap Bluetooth headset you can pick up from anywhere.

Even Apple sells low end Beats Flex headphones for $50 that have the W1 chip with the special Apple sauce.

Metformin did pan out, but the research seems to indicate One Meal A Day would have to be employed with it, as Metformin seems to interfere with autophagy. Lack of autophagy seems to be the biggest cause of the effects of old age, as the Western Diet pounds 3 meals a day, which means our insulin levels never drop to the autophagy activation level.

If you want that "one weird trick that doctors hate", OMAD alone is almost magical. I've been suggesting it to everyone I know just so they can do something easy and simple to get a few free years out of their fleshy meat body. Also, because of OMAD, I now spend less time prepping food, eating food, and other food-related tasks. Even if OMAD had no health effects (positive or negative), I'd keep doing it as it has freed up a surprisingly large amount of time.
I don’t think so. Most tinnitus isn’t an actual sound wave. It’s coming from a glitch in the auditory system. Even if your input was mixing and could theoretically cancel it out, it would be impossible to lock the phase (without some feedback from deep inside your head!)
Ironically, the depiction of the middle ages in Holy Grail is satirizing the popular misconceptions about the middle ages as a place of filth and stupidity.
