I've taken adrafinil off and on over the years and it doesn't do much of anything for me. Not sure if I'm expecting too much or what's going on with that.
A lot of folks are commenting on the fact that "incognito mode" never promised that it would conceal your identity.

I find it odd that everyone seems to be just ignoring that the word "incognito" literally means "with one's true identity concealed". It is, in fact, reasonable for naive users to expect that their identity would be concealed while using "incognito mode", Google's disclaimers to the contrary notwithstanding.

"What? Everyone should have known that we didn't literally mean 'incognito'!"

Luckily, every company's engineers can be counted on to point out the irony of the company's marketing bullshit.

I can tell you it’s still a big issue in the Dörfer which were likely less subject to the denazification process. Our parents’ generation (those who were kids in the 30s & 40s) are mostly gone but those born in the 50s-70s are still around and many in therapy which was not common before. That is the pool to learn from.

There is sadly no shortage of countries with large populations who suffered in war. But Germany is a large, wealthy country which is a good example of what Ukraine will face in postwar reconstruction. And yes, Germany still owes an old debt to Ukraine (instigation of war) as well as a contemporary one (holding off Russia with limited German assistance).

Could you please share more of your editor? Is it for personal usage only?
Org mode started as an Emacs only thing. Over time it has evolved into a much more capable thing than markdown format. One can do almost anything in the org mode format: literate programming with code blocks which can be executed (org babel), plain text spreadsheets, scheduling and summarizing scheduled events in an agenda view, time tracking, thesis writing (it has the necessary syntax for element one needs when writing a thesis, unlike normal markdown), inter-document linking, and probably many other things.

Some time ago people started slowly bringing things to VS Code. Org mode syntax has also been separated out as "orgdown". Now finally other editors are catching up to what has been possible in Emacs for a long time using org mode. They still got a long way to go, because integration of org mode things in Emacs is very far ahead, but at least work is being done.
I mean smoking is a factor, sure...but that doesn't explain why NM, who has a highish average smoking rate, is near the bottom. Same for how AL, who has a high smoking rate, is middle of the pack.
It seems like there are a few different terms being tossed around here, and it's hard to tell which one is being discussed.

* How is the data stored? "Columnar" (column oriented) vs "Row Oriented" vs Document

* How do you query the data? SQL vs json (elastic search/mongo)

With any discussions on performance, while it is true that any database which has ACID compliance will struggle at very large scale, if the solutions being discussed are firebase or superbase, it feels like that is an issue which is not relevant yet. If you are having scaling issues with superbase, I would look at a few different things (indexes, application caching, work_mem, replicas, etc) way before i look at a different database engine.
I don't see this dynamic where I am in my station in life at the age of 45. To be forthright my station is just a part time employee at a cool grocery store but besides one other coworker everyone is younger than myself. I'm actually very impressed with some of the so called minors that work with me. They seem fairly well grown up in respect to my own maturity at least in what limited interaction I can have with them at work. There is no pettiness, everyone is very kind and helpful to each other and the customers.

Perhaps that was a meaningless paragraph in comparison to the environments found at universities of prestige. I've never studied at one and I can't say how they have evolved.

Basically though if a kid is raised by two parents of the following attributes: full commitment to the partnership, not letting work interfere too often with child development, and a father who takes honor seriously; there should not be any problem with feeling comfortable in further stages of life for either parents or children.

The woman is usually the spiritual leader of the family and becoming grandma is a sacred thing that grownups wish to become. Not having grandpa means not having so many years of experience and mistakes not to know about.

I never met my granddad and all I have of him are some photos. But I have audio interviews my dad made that I cherish for knowing the kinds of problems he had.

My parents passed away years ago and they raised me starting at a later than average age.

Because my parents could not repair their relationship they got divorced and although dad always stressed I could call him anytime, I rarely did because I feared him. Not because he was abusive or mean, but i didn't always take his wisdom well unless I was with him in person. I saw him on weekends. After I returned to my home town I was with him as often as I could until he passed of a difficult cancer, cancer of the pancreas.

I feel that I may have matured much faster if I followed dad's advice more often, but I feel like it would have been hammered on me daily, if he were around with mom every day till they passed.

At 45, I feel about as mature as the so called minors I work with. In most cultures, by the age of 16 or less, you are pretty much an adult and have all the capacity to be one in society.

The more time you spend with your kids, the more respect they will have for you, and also if you treat everyone with respect, your kids will emulate you for it.
It's never really bothered me. I can't imagine being in a situation where it would make sense to consume reddit or HN or anything like that on my phone. The few times I have I noticed this prompt and it's annoying but easily dismissible.

It's the Ruby source of the editor the screenshot is of. There's no full box there, but the border between the line numbers and the main area uses this "method" of using one of the characters with blocks along the edges to create a border with one colour between two different coloured regions, using U+258B (Left Five Eights Block). I took my inspiration from that from my C64 days. This is a decades old method.
This is one of the reasons I switched to fine mesh coffee filter (metal) a while back, instead of paper filters, hoping to get more of the goodness of coffee in me. Although it does let cafestol through as well, but that doesn't seem like much of a big deal if you don't have any cholesterol issues.
Dont worry, it will he middle class that will get taxed. Ideally small ltds.
That’s like saying “who will pay for clean power” or “who will pay for firefighters?” or. “Who can afford to pay for safer building codes?”

In the long term we all benefit.
Not when the few zillionaires are in command of zillions of dollars of capital, which is by far a more effective lever to do just about anything these days than any lever available to middle class and below.
Of course I understand why they don’t want to compromise. Their scope is local, but my scope is global.

The problem is the level of sacrifice required in a worldwide conflict that may include nuclear to “take Putin out” only solves the problem of a single man. It doesn’t create a lasting solution because it doesn’t correct human nature. It doesn’t prevent the next worse tyrant. In fact it makes tyranny much more likely because the possibility of many tyrants that will come from the one.

Oh well.. that's good... kinda.
This is a silly thing to write about.

One of my biggest pet peeves with modern culture is how frequently you hear some hand-wavey opinion presented by some always-online voice as if it was some simple obvious fact.

I understand the allure of "truth", especially so in an age where everything feels so incomprehensible and out of control, but we, as a civilization, need to start moving away from outsourcing our worldviews to these kind of voices and get back to thinking for ourselves from the first-principals of our lived experiences.
The losses are heat. Resistive heating is 100% efficient. Use a heat pump though and you can get to 300%-400% efficiency because you are using the energy to move heat from one place to another instead of turning it into heat.

Hey!

My name is Kolya, and I’m currently a senior at Harvard. Last year I began working on an app and I now have a fully-functioning prototype (developed by freelancers) that I am looking to launch on college campuses in January (at the start of the second semester). I am graduating a semester early (this December) so that I can allocate all of my time toward this startup in the spring. However, given that I am non-technical, I am looking for a committed technical co-founder(s) to join the team for equity.

I understand that this is not exactly the type of work/offering your team is looking for given that it is a startup and based around equity. However, I wanted to reach out and check just in case!

If you are interested and have the time, I would love to connect and chat!
I think the solution is not to ban lobbying, etc., but rather to reduce the power of politicians so that there is no motivation to lobby or bribe them. For example, in my country the taxi drivers got politicians to ban Uber through protesting by blocking roads and probably pressuring their connections. I don't think politicians should have the power to be able to tell people that they are not allowed to pick up paying passengers if they want to, so there would have been no reason for the taxi drivers to gridlock the country as there would have been no potential benefit for them in doing so.
That's a very long document. Can you point to the exact place where they allege that they have "a lot more access that any other web analytics firm"? I tried searching for "access", "geolocat" and "deanonym" and none of the hits describe anything like what you claim is alleged.
Most of the meat I buy is from a local farmer in the Midwest. We buy an entire cow at a time and some pork. Yes we eat meat outside of this, but it's not often. I don't need to solve the entire industry to take a different path myself.

Frankly, meat tastes a lot better when the animal is treated better.

I personally think your argument is really twisting the data in your favor, but it's not a debate I am really interested in having. I've researched this extensively.
The person who wrote this, Rob Henderson, is young to me. He looks to be in his late 30's, early 40's so he is starting the transition from young to old. It's appropriate to care what young people think at his age because it's good that parents care about what their teenagers think.

Now that I'm in my 60's I'm aware that I don't know what young people think because they have grown up in a completely different environment than me. I had long periods of quiet as a child where I had to entertain myself and if I wanted to engage with friends I had to wait for school. I can't imagine growing up in an always connected world with an overload of entertainment distractions. I'm pretty sure I would think differently if I had.

> The reason people liked it is, imo, because it was a single product with multiple features. GCP OTOH, has been about decoupling (or loosely coupling) the product suite, and users are supposed to pick and choose from a giant array of half-products.

"There are two ways to make money, bundling and unbundling." - Jim Barksdale

The quote is mostly provided in jest, but at the same time there are many customers who want something totally bundled that solves 90% of their problems in 20 minutes but literally can't solve the last 10%, and there are other customers that want generic building blocks that can solve 100% of their problems, even if it takes years to do.

I think it makes sense that Google offers customers both.

> But even Firebase isn't strong enough to resist the gravitational pull of the GCP behemoth.

Part of the reason we got acquired is because of the above: we knew that we had a number of limitations (e.g. infra scalability) that could be solved, and we knew that GCP had DX problems offering a bundled mobile offering (App Engine wasn't "mobile" focused).

And that acquisition really paid dividends: we were able to build a _ton_ of "bundled" services for Firebase by 2016, and continue deeper integrations with GCP (Storage, Functions, Firestore, Auth, etc.). There are definitely UX differences (some of them intentional, due to different audiences), some not (e.g. it seems like not having an integrated log viewer is a DX miss, though my assumption is that staffing on the Firebase side is down so the decision was made to just send folks to the GCP console :/).

Was this cold start latency specifically or request latency in general? Do you know what region you were deployed in?
Is there a street view on this? That could be another dimension of fun!

> The Soviet Union (and now Russia) is notorious for having crap technology.

And Japan too? They had a major and recent disaster. How do you explain that? Crap Japanese technology?

> Yes. We can. 70 years, no accidents.

That's absolutely false.

1961. Steam explosion and meltdown results in three fatalities at National Reactor Testing Station's SL-1 Stationary Low-Power Reactor Number One

1986. Feedwater line-burst at Surry Nuclear Power Plant kills 4

2013. One worker was killed and two others injured when part of a generator fell as it was being moved at the Arkansas Nuclear One.

> I'm saying that the fatality rate is HIGHER for solar panels. Which it is.

It's not. You're confusing correlation with causation. There is nothing particular about solar installations that would result in a higher fatality rate compared to building tall nuclear cooling towers. You'd need to point to some sort of causation to be believable.

The real difference is probably something like big construction sites versus small construction sites. Which says nothing at all about the safety of nuclear vs. solar.

In fact it would be a safe bet that large scale solar installations are far safer to build and maintain than nuclear installations.

Federal Court of Justice: Pirate Site Blocking Must Be a Tool of Last Resort
I think people making observations about how different generations act should steer clear of comparisons to fictional characters. Don Draper isn't an actual, typical person from the 60s, he's what dramatic writers of today think an exceptionally interesting character from the 60s would be like.
I don't know when you tried this, but I don't think this is valid anymore:

1. If cold start times are a big deal, you can now set a minimum number of instances with Cloud Functions so they don't scale to 0. You can also now set concurrency on Cloud Functions so one function can run multiple requests simultaneously on a single function.

2. There are tons of other serverless options if you want to, say, have a Firebase front end but a backend API served in your language of choice that uses the Firebase Admin API to do whatever you want, e.g. App Engine or Cloud Run.
I would guess this helps prevent spam by hiding the spam comments from bots that may index it. Indexing bots aren't usually logged in.

That would be pretty good, apply the best cancer prevention, longevity producing, cancer protecting treatments available to 100 mice, compared to the diet of a typical American in 100 other mice (not very ethical I know) and see what happens.
Capital owners put their capital at risk in the hopes of generating more money.

When “capital” can be created and deployed with no risk by people with no skin in the game, I’m not sure that’s actually “capitalism”, no?
Well, they could use less RAM in general (hence less likely to be applying memory pressure). But good luck.

Hence why the advice for servers is turn swap off. It’s a footgun waiting to happen.
Indeed C doesn't do much with pointers, it is very close to a cpu register containing a memory address. If you are used to higher level languages, it is odd. You can simply cast a pointer to one type to a pointer to another type. This is very often used to introduce OO like behaviour, but you need to understand how it works under the hood. Pointer arithmetic is sensitive to types though, so C is a bit smart in that way.
Couldn’t disagree more. I think you’re missing the point. You can use boring technology (Golang) and simple patterns (no generics) and build something that works, and is readable, and maintainable, and secure as a consequence of this. I’ve seen this again and again. Then you can expand your code as business needs change, but making your code flexible from the start is in the same basket as over engineering and premature optimization.
Interesting!

Basically all the men on my dad's side die of alzheimer's, so any neuroprotective, regenerative, or some more accurate verb to stop or reverse function loss is super fascinating to me. Others as well.

Plus who wouldn't want to get just a bit smarter or help get that youthful memory back; can't be the only one who is foggier ;)
then why do 98% of these "promising" results turn out to be ineffectual in humans if we're that close biologically?

A question for you. Imagine you're a doctor and after extensive research and your own medical experience and praxis, you conclude that, for instance, vaccination is probably a less than optimal choice for individuals under the age of 40. How comfortable would you feel publicly expressing this?

One of the biggest problems when a society starts to become intolerant towards dissenting views is that consensus itself starts to become impossible, or at least meaningless.

Most people don't care that much about most issues. Make it sting enough to dissent, and you'll eliminate dissent from all but those willing to choose this hill to die on. But in such a case the lack of dissent becomes meaningless.

I would say 5 to 10. Anymore than that and they will pay. If they can't pay they will open multiple accounts which you will struggle to stop anyway. Keeping these people in the system is invaluable.
