There are lots of cases of obese individuals fasting for months with no ill health effects. Some even have gone over a year without food.

It turns out that all that fat really is like a giant extra-length fuel tank.

And many, many Americans have enough fat on them to break 3 months without eating a calorie. It might, in a bizarre way, save some of them.

(Micronutrients might be a problem but is much easier to solve than the calorie problem.)
Funny article. Writing in the urgent present tense probably helps with virality, but I'm not sure how many people would actually 1) Print this article off without reading it and 2) In the event of a nuclear emergency remember that they had a printed copy, then sit down to read it for the first time.

It mentions Geiger counters. Note that single-tube models can max out and saturate at radiation levels far below that which cause acute radiation sickness. (This was a fun contributing factor in the Chernobyl accident, "3.6 Roentgen per hour, not great, not terrible" was from reading sensitive dosimeters that were reading off-scale high, but the top of the scale was only labeled 0.001 R/s!) Dual tube models like the GQ GMC-500Plus cost much more but are more useful in the nuclear war scenario.

One thing not often mentioned about nuclear war is that we might have advance warning for the first round of bombs, but we probably won't for later rounds, if SBIR satellites are targeted or if civilian communication networks are disrupted. Ballistic missile submarines have a tradeoff between stealth and communications-- a Typhoon class at minimum speed, max depth and with its trailing wire antenna retracted is hard to detect but impossible to communicate with. If it surfaces a week later then we could get another nuclear exchange out of the blue.

The golden standard in long term storage food is, of course, the Mormon church. (Mormons are supposed to keep a three month supply of food.)

I don't understand what you mean by capped. This law isn't limiting pay, it's just making it public.
Fatal irritation sounds absolutely excruciating, terrible way to go.
It's an imgur thing. It disables controls on every interaction with the video by doing `.controls = false` on the video element.

Chrome seems to ignore this attribute being set to false and continue to show controls anyway, which appears to be a spec violation from my reading of it. Of course it ends up being a desirable behavior in this case.
This might not be the response you expected, but the app is only a security risk because it's not open source, and you can't audit its changes when you install an update. :)
> I'm not sure whether this outcome might not be worse in the long run, in terms of geopolitical stability, than if the weapon performs as expected!

I mean, if you're NATO and you see that... hard to imagine you don't take the invitation and just crush the Russian military into so much melted shrapnel. Every analysis I've seen says that if NATO gets involved, and nukes are otherwise off the table (which in this case they would be, at least for long enough for it not to matter), the thing ends with total NATO victory in very little time. And the attempted use of tactical nukes is the one thing almost guaranteed to step up NATO involvement.

But maybe that's wishful thinking on my part.

In terms of geopolitical stability, it would make Russia difficult to take seriously as a nuclear power. I don't think it says much about other nuclear states, like the US or China, who are almost certainly not paper tigers like Russia would have proven to be.
The amount of money put into these R&D projects is small in the grand scheme of things. The entire eVTOL space is ~$5bn. Compare this with $6.5bn for the replacement span of the Oakland Bay Bridge or $113bn for California’s non-existent high speed rail.
I guess the main assumption here is “if it’s an isolated copy of your production system”

If that’s truly the case, and they’re fake data, I’d generally agree. That isn’t what’s happened with Optus and I dare say with many other orgs where nonprod is generally interchangeable with less secure

Before they use tactical nukes, wouldn't they use some large conventional FOABs? (Father of all bombs). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father_of_All_Bombs

This was actually the update and app behaviour that pushed me off of chrome back to firefox. been using firefox for all my browsing needs since. No issues.
Of course they should be able to block 3d party clients. Just because it's technically possible to hijack an API, doesn't mean it's legal or ethical. If you don't want to be tracked, don't use Instagram.

However, Meta blocking the developers fb accounts is basically harassment. Let the courts sort it out if their app is illegal. Meta shouldn't take things into their own hands.

Same. We had some really smart SOC networking guys, who naturally start automating everything in Python.

When you interrogate, they'd say almost sheepishly 'oh I'm no programmer I just threw this together.' I don't think they realize 98% of programmers are just throwing things together and acting like a God when it actually works...
Looking at more of the presentations, we see that this not "How the National Airspace System Works". Rather it is the plan for a next generation system that the FAA hopes to implement.

If you have an interest in this you can see how things are intended to change. A lot of it looks like intended automation of work presently done by controllers. It appears there could be some challenges. For example, weather affects the flow, and what happens when you miss your pushback time?

What a heist. You have to be impressed by Tim Cook, a shrewd business operator ruthlessly exploiting both the moment and the advantage, even managing to force Zuckerberg out of reality and into the Metaverse.
yes, very very definitely.
> To put it in another way let's say there was a website that said it authorized with Steam. It asked you to put in your steam username and password. Is this secure?

"Is this secure?" fully depends on what the attack vectors you're considering are. Breach of the server's database? Make it an app instead of a website and make requests directly. Malicious code in the client itself? Make it open source. Now it's even more secure than the official client.

But regardless of all of this, how is it any of the service provider' s business what I do with my login details? It's my data on my account. If I use it in an insecure fashion, that's my problem. I am free to post my login details on Twitter for everyone to see, so why can't I put them in a database on some russian dude's basement server?
Deep geothermal isn't practical as it seems due to the small conductivity of heat for rocks that are cooled off to produce steam.
Serial plotter has been a thing for VERY long time.
By ignoring the agreed upon terms of service and violating those terms you would be violating the consent of the service provider.

If you don't find those terms favorable the correct action is to not use their service; violating their consent is not morally sound.

Hey, any plans for voip multichat like Discord?
Zero. Russia has plenty of regular weapons to level Ukraine and big part of Europe (look at thermobaric bombs). It also has industry and resources to produce such weapons for long period of time.

And it considers Ukraine ethnically related. Many Russians have relatives in Kiev etc.. Using nukes on Ukraine would be huge political problem.

It is FUD spread by trigger happy westerners, who want to normalize nuclear war!
Seems coincidental. I would not expect a drive being killed after a few days only.
Maybe - but the point of it being a nuke is that nukes get attention, and you'd do it to get that attention and try to force capitulation or at least abandonment of popular support for your enemy. A FOAB wouldn't quite do it.
Most importantly you should write in stone or clay in an arid climate.
Yes, if a website clearly stated that by accessing the content of the webpage you agree to not use an adblocker while doing so, that could well be legal depending on the circumstances. Enforcing it would of course be difficult.

If you found out Netflix actually streams their content from a public endpoint. You would not be legally allowed to take advantage of that.
it was easy to test by turning off the adblock and it definitely doesn't work.
I work for a company whose primary product is an extension. From my experience it's quite random; sometimes an update will pass 'review' a few hours after submission (never a few minutes, but it's clearly not being reviewed in any depth) and other times it will be held up for a few days, a week, or up to 15 days recently. It seems to be a lottery, where your chances of a manual review are increased by requiring certain permissions and other factors the chrome gods decide are risky. In our case they have rejected updates several times for spurious reasons, like claiming we do not use the notifications permission although we asked for it - even though use of the `.notifications` method on the chrome javascript api was visible in our code.

I think GPs point stands - whether or not they actually review every update, they make the claim that extensions are reviewed, and they're reviewed often enough that they should be able to catch genuinely dangerous extensions.
Certainly about every paper nowadays is about stuff going on in a breed of mice engineered to produce lots of amyloid plaques. Hardly nobody knows or cares what happens in actual patients.

The best methods we know of to protect real people against dementia are:

1. Get vaccinations. It doesn't seem to matter so much which ones. But Tdap and flu are seen to do the job.

2. Eat plenty of cheese.

3. Get treatment for herpes. I think valacyclovir is the mainstay.

4. Keep your gums healthy.

There is no rigorous information to indicate why these seem to make a difference. Precious few people are looking. Certainly the people in charge of grants for Alzheimer's research are not awarding them for any such effort.

When the whole house of amyloid cards finally collapses, what will amyloid specialists do with the rest of their careers? Maybe it would be smart to get a jump on that now...
There are no Linux/other kernel binaries involved in the bootstrappable builds scenario either, only the 512-byte bootstrap seed of machine code, which is written as commented hex, which you then input manually and run. In theory that bootstrap seed could be backdoored, given the size that would be unlikely and auditing it should be feasible.

Reproducible builds wouldn't help here, since all binaries would be backdoored equally. They only help with situations where one build machine is compromised but another one isn't.
Win32 applications on the store run with trusted identity, so it allows for a bit more than that.
The majority of USA does not even have the minimum design that allows bike safety and nothing can be done about it since building anything now is almost impossible. It is just foolish to insist a life style that doesn’t have a infrastructural support.

What many forget, or perhaps nver realised, is that Putin is the moderate voice of the extreme Russian nationalists.

Should Putin lose his hold on power to any degree he could be usurped by anyone of several who would have absolutely used nuclear weapons three months ago already.
Imagine if people could talk to each other without the government knowing. Complete anarchy!

Your statement is correct.

BadTLS explicitly exists to test certs that you generally should not, but often do, run into in the wild. As a result, most software handles these in poor ways, with error messages that are unhelpful at best.

Writing tests that utilize a custom root doesn’t seem all that much work for a library supporting TLS.

Any data how much worse Russian and Chinese vaccine was?

Because if you look at this objectively all covid vaccines are shit. Vaccines that didn't stop infection after 3-4 months are shit. The effectiveness against severe disease and death was still maybe 80-90% which is so-so but still doesn't deserve mandates.

And while Russia didn't have vaccine mandates, China appears to have very strong restrictions. Their problem is that many elderly are not getting vaccines despite mandates. The strength of mandates does not seem correlated with vaccine effectiveness at all. Many East European countries also had poor vaccine uptake among elderly despite using mRNA vaccines and having vaccine mandates.
What bothers me most on the Samsung TVs is that there are ads in the menu. It's one thing to see ads in a website or other content that is "free" and need to be monetized. But a TV in which I paid for doesn't make any sense.

Maybe they didn't make the move until now, because they an tolerate a minimal amount of ad blocking in their user base (e.g. for PR purposes). Or maybe they were not dominant enough until now. Or maybe the user base has reached the critical mass of ignorance and brainwashing.

What do you mean? On what planet is it a provider's fault if a third party farms logins through a custom client. It's not their fault if I get phished, if the little booklet I store my passwords in under my pillow gets stole, if my computer is infected with a RAT... so why would it be in this scenario?

I only got a few posts into the thread before Twitter booted me out for not having an account, so maybe there's some context I'm missing, but what kind of "not securing your API" are you talking about? The fact that a thir party, explicitly authorized the the user, was able to make actions on the user's behalf, doesn't make it secure, it makes it functional.
Hi!

I’m a computer science student from the bay area working on how we can use technology to improve education.

As a student, there were many times that I had a hard time grasping concepts because I just couldn’t visualize them in my head, and I’ve noticed with my sister and younger students that, oftentimes, this frustration causes them to lose interest in STEM.

To try to combat this, I’ve developed my first, free educational simulation to provide students starting their journey in chemistry and their teachers with several interactive 3D molecular models of popular compounds and a few basic lessons on each compound.
This isn't just a car driver issue. 90% of the cyclists and 75% of the pedestrians are also like "fuck it!", I don't care that the light is red, I'm crossing now. Fuck anyone who has the right of way. They'll have to wait". Add in the pedestrians who don't even look up from their phones as they cross on the red. Probably drivers doing this too.

I'm not making excuses for cars. They are obviously big and heavy and kill people. Rather I'm saying the attitude of "fuck you, I'm going" is ubiquitous, at least in some parts of the USA.
I'm Iranian just like the OP above. There is no doubt this narrative is the narrative of Basij which their propaganda outlets constantly put out. For further detail see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basij

However, for those who are not familiar with such jargon, Alir3z4, basically says it's good thing that his Supreme leader filtered out candidates. So then the people can select from "good" choices. Otherwise people would have select X, Y and Z which are bad. The argument needs no counter-argument other than removing the jargon...

I encourage the interested to read his other comments to take a first hand look how the regime internal propaganda put together. For fabrications and their constant strive for western mainstream media propaganda machine, you may look into NIAC and all its delicate network: usually they're commentator or journalists at NYT (e.g. Farnaz Fasihi), Washington post, CNN (Trita Parsi), Independent (Negar Mortazavi), BBC, etc. That's another more fascinating story.

The forces at play when it comes to communication platforms are not so black and white. I didn't say that I expect to have the inalienable right to use the service. I just expect to have the right to use the service without especially onerous "cost" to me (such as being subjected to privacy-invading surveillance/tracking technology and advertising). If someone goes on there and spouts walls of swearing and racist memes or whatever, yeah, banned.

And, actually, have you tried just not using Facebook for a year? Don't even log in whatsoever? Try it, seriously. I have missed parties, concerts, family gatherings (seriously), news of births, marriages, new homes, major life events (including deaths). I found out my cousin had a kid like 6 months later. I found out a friend died months after it happened. I miss out on the opportunity to partake in things that would have greatly enriched my life. This is the cost to me, personally, by opting out of THE platform that EVERYONE uses. I can't just constantly SMS and call everyone I know asking them every detail of their life, because they exclusively share it all on Facebook. You simply cannot invalidate this very real cost as "yeah well, just use something else".

These huge costs of exclusion are exactly why I believe that I should have the right to access de-facto-standard communication services with software that respects my psychological stability, privacy, accessibility needs (including cognitive), of my choice -- again, as long as that software conforms with proper API usage behaviour. Right now, I'm in a pretty coercive position where I either subject to the objectively-harmful design of the Facebook platform, or face pretty adverse effects to my socialization. That's one reason case where governments enact laws, to protect individuals from these sort of extremely skewed power imbalances.

BTW, I get what you're saying. All these services are tecnically optional. I kinda used to feel that way, until I actually started not using the services that I felt were manipulating and coercing me. Then I realized just how much power these services have over us. I realized these services are optional in just the same way as the telephone and the automobile used to be. Totally still optional. Just mail a letter instead. To me it's like, at this point, as a society, we need to decide whether we care if someone can be seriously cut off from modern society because they don't agree to have advertising shoved in their face, manipulative "algorithmic feeds" selectively shown to them to "drive engagement", and unprecedented surveillance cataloguing their every action 24/7/365.
E-Commerce is a new revolution that has taken us all by storm. It has changed the way we shop. People now prefer to purchase things online because of the numerous benefits attached to online shopping. The traditional method of purchasing from stores is becoming outdated. Online shopping not only saves time but also saves money too. Shop while you sit back and relax in your home and explore the numerous shopping sites on your laptop.
The ease of comparing various shopping sites has made it easier to choose the desired product. You can crack the best deals while shopping online. So now, whether you wish to upgrade your electronics or change the home furniture, whether you wish to select a dress or toys for your kids, whether you order groceries or send gifts to loved ones, online shopping is the answer to all these needs.
Online shopping has numerous benefits. But you must make sure that the seller is trustworthy and that the transactions are safe to make. If you take care of these factors, online shopping is probably the most rewarding experience.
