Sure, its similar to previous iterations which have undergone human testing. Sure, we have a good understanding of how they work, theoretically. The FDA isn't an entirely corrupt and incompetent organization. But without human efficacy and safety data, it feels beyond likely to me that acceptance rates among even the "silent majority" of people will be low.

Shorting your place of employment is unethical, if not entirely illegal (IANAL)
Sure you can. I've seen it done numerous ways. France is a good example (above) - not only is the boulangerie 2 doors down, the others are literally within 10m away by walk. In Hong Kong, some of my friends lived in a tower where the grocery, post office, etc were all on the basement floor (and the elevators were unbelievably fast) - I swear it was the closest thing I'd ever seen in this world to Foundation/Trantor.

When thinking about a car, you also have to chalk-in parking and traffic. I bet you most people spend more than 10m door to door to their grocery store.

> whole grains and legumes covering most of my protein requirements.

What are your protein/calorie goals, and how are you meeting them with grains and legumes? I have to take pea protein and on top of that eat a lot of eggs because otherwise I can't imagine getting enough protein just from beans and oats. If you avoid oxalates, it becomes even more difficult.
Apparently many people didn't notice anything disappearing, because they shifted their eyes around the video. I also noticed things changing, but if you'd stopped the video before the big reveal and asked me to list them, I would have listed only a small fraction of what actually changed: the bottles on the top left, the patio door curtain, the pillows on the couch. I missed the majority of changes, as did--I suspect--everyone.

It's a HTTP polling based Cloudflare worker that can be used to establish WebRTC connections. A signaling service of some kind is always necessary to use WebRTC. The OP uses WebTorrent trackers which can work but have some limitations and ultimately have their own risk profiles.

The Cloudflare worker approach offers some unique tradeoffs that make it compelling relative to other options:

- Outage risk is reduced down to Cloudflare workers platform. (vs volunteer-run services like WebTorrent trackers)

- The costs are zero for a moderate level of traffic. (I intentionally designed the protocol for this project to take advantage of the cheapest available approach on Cloudflare, which is free in the best case.)

> Electric motors don’t need manual (or indeed, any) transmissions because they have a basically-flat torque curve across their entire RPM range.

I would argue that for an EV that is not designed to be a sports car (ie, a Model 3), you are correct.

But one that is being designed to not just have power off the line, but also at the top end, will probably need a transmission.

I do wonder if the top speed of my Model 3 Performance is due to simply not having enough power to overcome drag, or if the motors are reaching the end of their RPM range.
> for personal profit

it's not just personal profit, I mean if it's true how would you react to it? Putting aside how it would affect research, it also would make many people including such in power blame China for it. Which would be a political nightmare not just for China but also US, EU, etc.

So if any secret service has proof it was a leak you can be sue they wait until there is a major conflict with China. Like e.g. because China attacking Taiwan before the US/EU become more independent of TSMC. Through at that point of time there is also a lot of insensitive to just make up a "proof". So the public probably will never know for sure.
Ethical/morally it is probably way better. Less so than plant-based.

The point is that if they are not certain then they should make it clear they are not certain. We were told very confidently that masks didn't work, that using them was nothing more than superstition. We are now told equally confidently that they do work. The establishment, taken as a whole, is extremely, dangerously overconfident.

The issue there is that pigs and chickens spend their lives in confined pens, and to avoid mass disease outbreaks in those conditions, they're pumped with lots of antibiotics (possibly growth promoters as well). Such facilities also produce vast quantities of fecal matter, leading to water pollution problems (and likely methane as well).

Probably the best way to raise beef is small herds on grasslands, but this results in extremely expensive meat. That's more reasonable anyway: meat should be viewed as a luxury item, not a staple.
There is no chance, that this is just a call for reform, for working oversight, for not outsourcing to the cheapest bidder, for a outside inquisition to have visits and quality control.

No, every one opposing my oppinion is a absolute enemy, there is only black and white and the institutions we have are perfect, right now, at this very moment.

I'm guessing someone relying on that for heat this winter would disagree.
That's funny, I read this affirmation (and variants thereof) rather often, but I've been using Rust on and off since 0.4 and I've always been discussing with developers who have balanced and careful opinions of Rust, starting with the Rust language and compiler teams.

Rust has never been publicized as a solution to all problems. It happens to be my current favorite language for many tasks, but I don't think any serious Rust developer harbors the impression that Rust is designed to implement everything.

That being said, the community is much larger these days, so I assume that there are users who do not have a sufficient PL background to understand the tradeoffs made in the design of Rust.
1. IPFS attaches ALL network interfaces (internal and external) to your identity.

I don't know what you mean by attaching a network interface to your identity or even just identity. IPFS identifies a node by PeerID which is mostly a public key, that's it.

2. Tor is still "experimental" done by 3rd parties. https://flyingzumwalt.gitbooks.io/decentralized-web-primer/c...

Tor has nothing to do with IPFS. There have been some people that have worked on some integrations to use them together.

3. Due to 1 and 2, any hosted content is EASILY trackable to a user's computer,even behind NATs. A machine cryptokey also helps cement that (but can be changed). This allows easy DDoS'ing of any and all endpoints hosting content you don't like.

Yes, it is easily trackable. There is nothing about the design or goals of IPFS to be anonymous. In some ways the entire point is to be found and announce that you have content available. I don't know why people associate decentralized with anonymous. Not sure how you think it's cemented. Just toss the key and make a new one. How does this make DDoS'ing endpoints any easier than anything else hosted on the internet let alone DDoS'ing all of it. In face being distributed and content addressed can mitigate DDoS if it's malicious or just a hug of death.

4. It is trivial to ask the dHT for who has a certain content key, and get all (or the top 50?) computers hosting that content. (this matters with regards to "sensitive" content)

I hope so, that's the way IPFS works. Ask for who has what you're looking for and retrieve it. I have no idea what you mean by "sensitive" content. If it's sensitive you can encrypt it.

5. Running a node is still high cpu, ram, and network chattiness - so using a VPS to keep IPFS off your local network is still tenuous to run.

There are configurations to mitigate this but just making a blanket statement that it's high cpu, ram, and network is just FUD.
(Too late to edit but I hope this doesn't come across as more condescending than I meant. I really thought there was more to this that I couldn't see.)
Wikipedia says otherwise:

What you are describing seems to be the Systematic Implementation Plan.
Any application using WebRTC is forced to use some kind of centralized signaling service. The OP uses WebTorrent trackers. At least, until there's a well established analog to the BitTorrent DHT, but that doesn't seem likely anytime soon.

> in fact RDBMSes are highly optimized pieces of software that are especially good at combining sets of data. Much better than ORMs, anyway,

ORMs are just a wrapper around RDBMSes. If your ORM is producing incredibly stupid SQL to query the DB with, you might want to check that you're not modelling your data in a stupid way.

I am by no means an expert, but in general I have found that if the ORM is doing something particularly crazy, it's because my underlying assumptions about the data model is wrong.
Now that looks sweet.

Even best case emissions of meat production are higher than the worst case emissions of plant protein

> Many argue that this overlooks the large variation in the footprints of foods across the world. Using global averages might give us a misleading picture for some parts of the world or some producers.

The evidence suggests, no: plant-based foods emit fewer greenhouse gases than meat and dairy, regardless of how they are produced.

Interesting that you chose cows which are, by far, the worst animal for the environment from the clear-cutting of old growth forests, to the shocking contribution to climate change their gases produce, to the sheer amounts of water and food it takes to grow a full cow.

One of those things is a problem with governments. The other is a problem with the cows.

Don't blame the cows if your corrupt government can't keep people from clear-cutting forests.

Not a judgment on your wife, but sharing for general awareness: I would eat land animals before eating fish again. You can read Outlaw Ocean for a quick look at how awful the seafood industry is.

When public policy is based on it, people are threatened with jail, forceably removed from outdoor open-air sporting events and denied basic services, yeah - you sure as hell better not be wrong about it.

When people in the street yell at you and call you a murderer for not wearing a mask outside in the sunshine (this happened to me) - yeah, you don't get to go back later and say "oops, my bad".

When the government exercises extraordinary emergency powers by executive fiat without legislative support to impose masking rules - they had better have damned good science to back it up.

In this case, the science simply didn't exist.

It's a strawman argument to claim "numerous studies show effectiveness of masking" as I've seen several people argue in this discussion.

The only relevant studies are those that evaluate the effectiveness of universal masking, since that's what the public policy dictated.

Universal masking policy was a knee-jerk response to some early studies and models that over estimated the risk of asymptomatic transmission. However, regardless of the new science that demonstrated that asymptomatic transmission was incredibly rare, the authorities refused to change the guidance.

Where was the science that justified the arbitrary and utterly performative rules put in place for restaurants? (wear a mask to walk three meters from the front door to the table, but it's ok to take it off when you're at the table)

Or the painfully performative masking of news people, in a studio by themselves, wearing a mask. Or wearing a mask alone in a car. Or on a walk outside. Or on a video conference for work.

Masks quickly stopped being about science very early on and quickly became nothing more than a flag for showing political alliance with the utter nonscientific nonsense of cloth masks and the overnight development of "fashion masks".

Forcing this on children was especially painful to watch. Children, who will never follow proper masking protocols and who are happy to trade their batman mask for their friend's spiderman mask...

> do hope your friends, family, and coworkers afford you more space to learn, grow, and change (and that you practice doing so!) than you afford to others.

I do hope that this entire episode and the bumbling, unscientific, incoherent and political face-saving response from the government makes you take a second look at blanket, authoritarian policy in the future.

Universal masking was the public health equivalent of the TSA. Illusory safety at best, with very little demonstrable effectiveness to justify the intrusion and restrictions put in place.

A Handy Use for Cascade Layers
"We need more people like Dominic Cummings" - not sure this aged well...
There might be some semantic misunderstanding here. "Kerr effect" is "nonlinear optics" in my book - it works both at the low GHz frequency of electro-optics and at the high THz frequencies of pure optics. I agree with the rest of your statement (and it does not seem to be in conflict with the initial comparison: vacuum tubes were being developed for 50 years due to the needs of the radio industry before they became viable for computation).

And the direction symbiotic improvements is not necessary as clear: there are academic groups solely focused on quantum optical effects, whose research then gets reused by the telecom industry and vice versa. These quantum research groups would be dead in the water if it was not for the fab capabilities initially developed by telecom folks, but they have certainly surpassed them by far now (in one-off "hero" devices).

P.S. Same with acousto-optic devices. What you would find in a quantum computing lab is far more impressive than what is being deployed today. Even if the quantum computing field is a bust, the tech they developed would improve telecom state of the art by orders of magnitude.
“Unfinished Business” – Why Gilbert and Grossman Returned to Monkey Island
It wouldn't really be an ORM at that point, but there's definitely a point to be made that an ORM is the wrong level of abstraction altogether when dealing with data-heavy applications. I actually really hate seeing SQL embedded in a web application serving things to customers, spread out across a bunch of routes and sometimes different route servers accessing the same database. Having a data API service for your data, or one for each major kind of data (for a store let's say customers, products, orders, etc) that talks to the DB and another layer with the application logic that reads and writes through that layer works well for performance and maintenance. It puts your SQL and your grants in a more controlled realm. The user-facing application and the data API can more easily be maintained, especially if you need a new schema or to further shard your data.
