Physical books wear out in decades to centuries, computers break in years to decades. Also digital formats are constantly evolving and backwards compatibility for old formats is removed. Even without publisher/legal issues it's clear that preservation of digital media for even the next 10 years, and especially for the next 100 or 1000, is at risk.

But I really wonder why is there no other major service like the Internet Archive? The way to preserve media is to distribute it and store it in many places, not just one central location. Does the Internet Archive store redundant copies in many locations? Does it use long-term physical formats?

Also, figuring out what information is "meaningful" and which is completely useless or redundant is extremely important. Because we want to store everything with the potential to be important in the future, but we also have an incredible amount of data (hence one of the reasons why IA is the only major archiver). It may be good to strategize data collection, e.g. a shallow list of all sources and a deeper list of popular sources, a sample of various sources from every region, etc

Question: How large is the largest star in the universe?

Answer: The largest known star is Earendel, which is 1,500 times the mass of the Sun. It is 100,000 times the diameter of the Sun. It is 100,000 times the luminosity of the Sun. It is 100,000 times the temperature of the Sun. It is 100,000 times the pressure of the Sun. It is 100,000 times the density of the Sun. It is 100,000 times the gravity of the Sun. It is 100,000 times the speed of light. It is 100,000 times the speed of sound. It is 100,000 times the speed of rotation. It is 100,000 times the speed of revolution. It is 100,000 times the speed of escape. It is 100,000 times the speed of light.

I feel the same way but then when I'm promoting my own products I also feel like "my ads are useful to the audience I target". So I realize I'm a hypocrite when it comes to advertising. Maybe they aren't so bad?

That is an interesting alternative.

You need a battery that tolerates many many cycles, and being charged at 100x its usual discharge rate. Maybe a molten CaSb battery, from Ambri.

I guess if all the cars can be wired to take in power, you just need a short stretch of 3rd rail at each charge point, say 60 m, not 1600. If each car has its own battery and drive motors, they don't need to be wired together. Relative charge rate goes to 10,000x, but the grid load stays the same.
I don't necessarily buy this. These sports would arguably not exist without the advertising that supports them.

> How do we model the probability distribution of rolling a six sided die if all we have is a fair coin? In other words, a process where, by flipping a coin enough times, we uniformly generate a random integer between 1 and 6. Donald Knuth studied this problem and came up with the following solution: […]
I admit to having been swayed by some of those arguments in the past, but the purely utilitarian case I feel has never been strongly made (and should be):

Are more people harmed in the process of police enforcing traffic laws (unlawful violence, egregious or excessive citation, etc.) than are harmed because of behavior enabled or exacerbated by unenforced traffic laws (running red lights, speeding, driving with lights off which result in property damage, injury, or death, or unlicensed vehicles used in other crimes, etc.).

Either way there is a social justice argument to be made, and I'm surprised I haven't heard a strong voice for enforcement, because my intuition is that more people are harmed in more broad economic terms when traffic violations are allowed to proliferate than those who would be harmed by interactions with police which run foul. It's just that when someone innocent gets unjustly murdered during a police interaction, it's such a horrific and newsworthy event and kind of distracts from regular, daily injustices (including traffic deaths). In a way kind of like mass shootings vs more regular low-grade gun violence.
why would I care about hydrogen when I have a perfectly good electrical system ready in hand. hydrogen's main selling point is energy density, which makes is good on paper for 'mobile' applications. if you forgo that than there are plenty of good energy carries like NG/gasoline or electricity which round-trip much better in efficiency terms.

I am not sure if there is a sudden step up in industrial uses of H. on face value this looks more like groundwork for some upcoming fossil greenwashing subsidy that uses hydrogen to justify public funds.

I don't agree with that perspective. A lot of stuff on the internet wouldn't exist without advertising, just not using the internet is a poor solution.

Yeah, and the NYPD came and responded to him because he was most likely family of a cop. Do you seriously think if you called in one of these, the cops would respond? Let alone right away? They don't respond right away for actual road incidents, let alone something like this. And then their response when they showed up? That seemed proper to you?
The cyclist's actions were justified by the driver's illegal behavior. The cyclist needed to report a car with an obscured license plate. To do that, he needed to know the car's license plate. This is of course a catch-22, so the cyclist removed the obstruction in order to see the plate.

I could understand if both the driver and the cyclist were arrested (although I'd be very disappointed if the cyclist was actually charged), but arresting the cyclist and not the driver is nuts! Obscuring your license plate should be treated as a serious crime.

I personally experienced a week of heart palpitations following my second dose of Moderna, as well as an acute visual aura, having never had a migraine. Not only did I fail to report this to VAERS, it only occurred to me as a vague possibility that the vaccination might be related, so I didn’t think twice about getting the booster. After her second dose of Moderna my sister developed a migraine (having never had one previously) that lasted a week, culminating in an emergency room visit, for which no VAERS report was made. My mother recently intimated that ever since her second Moderna shot she periodically experiences heart palpitations, and especially when ingesting caffeine, whereas before this was not the case. Again, no VAERS report.

Knowing what I know now, were a family member to die 20 days after a vaccination I would certainly submit a VAERS report, but I find this question incredible: are you really disputing multiple studies that conclude that VAERS underreports adverse events by appealing to your nebulous feeling that family members surely would not neglect to file a VAERS report after the death of a family member?

Does the fact that only a tiny minority of the population even knows VAERS exists provoke doubt?

How about what HHS has this to say about the matter (https://vaers.hhs.gov/data/dataguide.html):

“Underreporting" is one of the main limitations of passive
surveillance systems, including VAERS. The term, underreporting
refers to the fact that VAERS receives reports for only a small
fraction of actual adverse events. The degree of underreporting
varies widely.

Further, even if I granted that literally every death due to the vaccines was reported to VAERS, there still remains the extant signal which logically admits the possibility that children 0.5-5 suffer a higher rate of death to the vaccine than they do the disease.

As for the insulting claim that no standard of proof would convince me that the vaccine is better than the virus: all I require is a sufficiently powered RCT with a genuine placebo in the control, full disclosure of patient level data, and all cause mortality as the primary endpoint. It baffles me that you don’t demand the same.
In workplaces I'd say it happens if there's an empathetic culture, if leadership and employees see each other and care about more than the product, care about the team. This manifests in many ways, for example leaders asking for and appreciating critique, building on it, maybe instituting a shorter workweek instead of a pay raise (if that's what employees want).

Fan Relationship Management for Artists. Needed?
I want to understand how upcoming musicians efficiently connect with their fans. There are many point solutions, like Linktree, Eventbrite, or streaming analytics (Spotify). However, there are only a few tools that are purpose-built for musicians. I want to spark a discussion, connect with musicians, and answer some of the questions below.
- How are artists growing and engaging their fan base?
- What are the biggest pains in growing and engaging their fan base?
- What tools that musicians use today to manage their fans and engage with them?
What tools would make their life easier?

We want to build a product story that is led by the community. No guessing. Only create what musicians need. We already have an MVP, but I do not want to proactively promote it here. :)

There's something like 9 deaths resulting from hit 'n' runs by cars with obscured plates just like this one, in NYC right now this past year. You could not be further from correct. Do you live in NYC? Do you have insight into how unsafe the streets are because of this exact conduct? Doesn't seem like.

People naturally move through time. Everyone, all at the same speed. And in the same.e direction - you can't time-travel back in time. And intent plays no role.

Moving across space: Not everyone, not all at the same speed, not all in the same direction. And intent plays a role (note that it can be someone else's intent that's propelling one of course).

So I'm saying that time and space seem qualitatively quite different. That turns the question of

> Should we apply this logic to time only or space as well?

into one to be further explored with a "why? they're quite different" answer, rather than with a "yeah why not" answer.
"License plates are the property of the state and must be visible, unobscured, and attached only to the vehicle to which it is registered."

If the issue is a person removing a piece of tape covering a license plate, then really nothing happened. The citizen unobscured state property which is supposed to be visible. It would be like removing a sticker from a speed limit sign, or picking up litter.

If it's some other piece of plastic attached to the car itself, well IMO that's what courts are for. That cyclist goes before a judge and maybe some technical reading of the law interprets what he did as tampering with the vehicle. Another completely reasonable interpretation though is that the cyclist was making the shared roadway that the car was on safer for everyone else.

I worked at a really big tech company on a tight knit operations team. The boss quit so the put the VP of eng in charge of our team. He never once came to our team meeting, never once told any of us what to do, asked us to do anything or in any way interacted with us except to say hi and have a beer if we were hanging out on Friday.
That wasn’t fucked up at all. We were all really good at what we did (with the possible exception of me, I was just trying to keep up), we identified what needed to be done, prioritized it and got it done. In other words we self-organized. That’s a sign of a good company. It was an environment that caused me to step up and take responsibility for things two levels above my pay grade. Not because I’m ambitious, but because things needed doing and I was the only one available to take care of them.

It’s funny that the author lists that as a way for a company to be fucked up. I’ve worked for a lot of fucked up companies. That’s one of the stories I tell my partners now about my hand-off management style. People will step up if given the opportunity. And if they can’t, it’ll rapidly become apparent and they’ll go find another company and somebody who wants to boss them around.
this is kinda wierd...someone in my house has been affected by the leak. So i typed in their name. And it says they're not in the leak. 3 other people in my house including me have apparently all bean leaked according to this site. So, either this resource doesnt work, or medibank is not being forthcoming in a timely manner as to who is being affected. I hope they get sued to oblivion for this.

Does anyone know what one is specifically to do about their home address when it is leaked? It's easy to change emails, mobile numbers and so on...but...home addresses...not so easy.

EDIT: im guessing 1 piece of the puzzle (an address) with all the other things changed should be OK? who knows...

What if instead of passing tokens, checksums were passed and the function checked that its code matched the checksum. This would give some protection against both corruption of the code and instruction pointer errors.

Another element from the article was having copies of the function and comparing the return values, but I suspect this breaks down when the function deals with external state. Possibly it could be done by intercepting the state-related calls and making them atomic/combining them. I feel like there's something here reminding me of STM [0].

I suspect it will always be a better investment of time and result in scalable and simpler applications to go for the hardware required to get a full ECC-covered execution architecture.

> I don't understand why you're expecting Apple to save lives at a loss.

I wasn't saying that at all, and I think if you reread both my comments and the context of the thread you'll see that.

I was replying specifically to the claim that if it would save a single life it would have been worth Apple doing. And if it were only to save a single life, Apple would have wasted a huge amount of money on that single life, when they could have redirected it towards other ways to waste their money but saving more lives.

I was purely pointing out that nobody should think it worth it "if it just saved one life". Not arguing for how Apple should spend money in other areas, just discussing in the context of if Apple were spending money on saving lives.

But... while you ask - it's actually very common for companies, big and small, to spend money on charities, usually because they think the public image benefit outweighs the cost. Apple DO spend money on, for example, donating money to HIV charities through their PRODUCT(RED) scheme. https://www.apple.com/uk/product-red/

And they spent money on this new feature being discussed in this thread (I assume because they expect it to save more than a single life!).
Yeah, I suspect he's ready for the long haul on this one.
