I would love wine reviews where the reviewer drinks 3 glasses and then reviews how they feel the next morning. Wines use all sorts of additives to achieve their taste. Some wines leave me feeling worse the next day than others.
What happens if I buy a 2022 wine today and store it for 5 years? Will it be the same as buying the same vintage in 2027 from the wine seller?

I guess what I'm asking is if there's some special storage requirements which can't be met at home?
I had some similar ideas, but with one major difference.

One of the most dangerous aspects of driving is the sense of complacency. You've driven down this road 100 times before in worse weather, what's the worse that can happen?

Why not have simulator training for rare/unexpected circumstance - kids running onto the road from behind parked cars, fog, snow and ice, a sudden puncture at highway speeds, large animals on the road at night etc. Facing such situations in a simulator could help both novice and experienced prepare for these events and serve as a reminder that driving, despite being mundane, is a dangerous activity.

You can even have the trainees perform everyday tasks in the simulator like answering a phone call while driving, fiddling with the radio or navigation, or trying to read the text on some sign. That way, drivers can experience the danger associated with losing focus.
And if you need universal uniqueness across all domains, just pick a 256-bit random number using a CSPRNG like /dev/urandom.

Amazingly well thought out design. If you want something as impactful (hah) think about the fluid related mechanics of urinal and toilet design, and how much thought has to go into splashback.

Jersey kerb has become ubiquitous worldwide.

Interestingly, the alternate designs often used (guyed wires, steel barrier) have good and bad points, for survivability if an impact is unavoidable. They "give" -and in some circumstances, thats exactly what you want. Jersey Kerb is for the "nope: no giving here: wear the decelleration, hard" situations where giving (eg. into the oncoming traffic flow) would be worse overall.
WebGL was really cool when I first saw it. Today, it's basically a wrapper around OpenGL 3.0 ES.

It's not just grapes. Many wines technically aren't even vegan. Not uncommon for gelatin, egg whites, milk, or fish bladders and many other additives to be used in achieving the desired taste and color before the wine is filtered.

The number of billboards I've seen worldwide stuck on either a BSOD or an upgrade message (with a windows cursor for added points) is high. These are commodity devices these days. Multi-screen edge-to-edge displays in sports stadia, Airport displays, you-name-it. They're all capable of being either a linux or a windows machine behind the scenes.

The biggest one was a display close to the Birds Nest stadium in Beijing, atop a very high building. At least 4 stories high, showing "licence expired" text, for the itty bitty bit of a VGA screen this billboard represented. Splashed across Inner-North Beijing.

This seems really wrong to me as FTX/SBF fooled Sequoia, Softbank, the Ontario Teachers Pension fund, and Temasek- some of the most sophisticated investors on planet earth.

Is it really appropriate to hold professional athletes personally liable for endorsing a company which slipped through the due diligence cracks of the above-mentioned firms?

Can you hold them personally liable when FTX was also sponsoring the Warriors, the Miami Heat arena, UC Berkley's "FTX Field," and MLB baseball by placing an FTX logo on umpire uniforms? Will the City of Miami/Dade County be held liable for receiving money to name the "FTX Arena"?

Was FTX actually insolvent at the time their contract was signed? When did FTX start engaging in fraudulent/criminal behavior? Is it reasonable to hold them liable for _future_ acts committed by a firm they endorsed?

Perhaps technical people aren't picking up on it because nobody has made a strong argument (as near as I can see) that it's true?
> people in this thread [...] the motivated goal of invalidating trans people.

Not the goal of invalidating, but mainly because I wouldn't use valid/invalid language. When I disagree with a devout catholic I'm not invalidating their beliefs - even when I argue that their god probably doesn't exist.

My interests in identity-based arguments are the rights-erosion I see going on. Females need, and have fought doggedly to achieve, sex-based rights such as single-sex spaces, matching funding, etc.

How can those rights be respected and dangers avoided if men can declare themselves women? Even leaving aside "actual trans women", what about all the abusive non-trans males who'll use the loophole?

> Trans women aren’t women because [X], they’re women

They aren't though.

You seem to be saying "therefore it is imperative that we treat them as if they are the sex they claim" and that's another question, and perhaps worth debate, but what would the end be? Treat them the same all the way into women's prisons? (Trans women have a higher sex criminality than the average male prisoner by a factor of four, and most are still sexually intact and functional as males.)

I feel that this sort of breathless panic to protect trans people ignores that the proposed solution totally demolishes the single-sex protections that nearly half the planet enjoys, and that keep our children safe.

Perhaps we could revisit this with a goal of maintaining zero additional risk to women over the status quo, but otherwise it seems like it's a non-starter because it has to come at the expense of women.

> they experience distress and wrongness when treated as a man but it’s alleviated when treated as a woman.

There definitely are some people who chafe at the gender expectations they perceive others (rightly or wrongly) having for them. Like a girl who doesn't like dresses and being proper or whatever. I believe the solution is to remove these expectations, not to tell that girl that the source of her angst is that she's a boy in a girl's boy, but to actually help her understand the issues of growing up. She can't actually be a boy but she can be happy as a girl.

How is this not like anorexia, where normal teen issues contagiously coalesced into common symptoms across a large area? Their underlying issues were real, but the expression (that they were fat and the solution was to lose weight) was manufactured collectively by our society and was near impossible to beat in an individual. Anorexia remains incredibly rare outside of American media influence.

Now that same angst seems to be channeled into other externally manufactured solutions, such as being in the wrong body. Despite claims of indigenous third-gender, trans is a modern western phenomenon. A product of social contagion.

In both cases the correct answer seems to be to discuss and treat the underlying issues and conditions before assuming that someone's body is broken and needs sexual modification and lifelong medicalization.
IMO, this is bad math and why you probably need to be more cautious. I actually went through similar math with my team last year.

* It's long been know that UUID should never be used as a security mechanism. While the math is interesting, the fact they're using it as justification for moving away from UUIDs is concerning. It'd be like publishing a post titled "we're moving away from MD5"

* If you're using these tokens for human-entered purposes, you should implement account based rate limiting. It's nearly impossible for a brute force attack if a single account can only have, say 100 attempts per day before contacting support. There are very very use cases where a human-based token will ever need more than 20 attempts per day.

* Use long, high-character count tokens if they're intended to be machine/copy-n-paste only. Storage is cheap. Use something big and long.

Seriously, rate limit your shit. The second that rate limits are introduced you control all of the major variables in your security posture.
Or, when you're a quasi-religious dictatorship with strict information control, you just recognize math talent in 1st grade and funnel students into patriotic computer security-specific training.

While you're not wrong, this is the type of thinking that can introduce security vulnerabilities.

Your current systems might not be able to validate quintillions of UUID's per second, but your future systems might be able to (or at least get a lot closer).
> You just have to do it a little differently.

No, my point is that you don't have to do it any differently (unless you mean the machine does different things, in which case that really depends on your compiler).

The note here is that depending on your language, syntax may make the emulation difficult/cumbersome.

If you have classes, you can emulate closures by creating a class that takes the state to close over as constructor arguments, and executes the body of the function as a single method.

If you have closures, you can emulate objects by taking state and returning a bag of functions, which emulate methods. If you need polymorphism, you can call the "parent" closure and just replace the closures in the resulting bag that you need to override.

You can use these to solve problems without altering your approach (though, once again, syntax may be burdensome depending on the language).

Bell Labs was active in this area going all the way back to the 1930s, where its relative isolation was ideal for radio astronomy -- in fact, one can reasonably claim Holmdel as the origin of that field.

Also in this era, once you got a job at Bell Labs, then you were set for life...not getting filthy rich necessarily, but you could fully expect to spend your entire career with the one prestigious, stable, monopoly-supported employer, before retiring with a nice pension. As a result, the rank-and-file talent were happy to move and settle down in the towns surrounding these giant suburban/exurban campuses, which also had excellent public schools thanks to the affluent tax base and high concentration of engineer/scientist parents.

I feel that I am on path of some sort, was raised Catholic (but we didn’t really believe: Québec, one on the most catholic place that become one of the most atheist in a very short time)
I was mostly scientific atheist nihilist, searching for meaning.

I discovered to my surprise the logic, usefulness and truth in our stories through Jordan Peterson biblical lectures. But now through the explanation of Jonathan Pageau and some reading of the bible it seem I can go a bit further.

I am trying to communicate what I now understand to other fellow atheist that there is value in our foundational stories, I see that it’s the foundation of our culture and that as christianity fade our culture is crumbling.

I don’t know exactly what I believe at this point, I am trying to move forward, use the bible as a guide, it’s hard to communicate my way of seeing to atheist or religious people. Saying that those are story is a reduction of the truth. I don’t have better words to communicate exactly how I think.

I can see the same pattern with scientific thinking, we have a model (plants use sun human eat things) and we confuse our mental model for reality until we discover that our pattern is reductive (we use UV to make vitamin D and infrared to keep inflammation under control (recent discovery))

So I think those who believe completely are also immunized against a kind of scientific totalitarianism, the idea that we know completely, it’s very seductive as it save us to expend mental energy.

I am also seeing more way to understand the bible, the catholic way: simplified, don’t read the bible, we will do it for you, protestant: communities with each their own flavor but against a central authority and now orthodox who seem to see it more as a patterns, as path to emulate, to become god ourself or at least try, than actual physical truth, truth on another level.

> Bank runs still happen.

I do agree with that. But it has become an extremely rare occurrence that usually indicates some deeper problems.

> A lot of banks in Europe during the 2008+ crisis -- which is why "capital controls" were enforced.

Well, one of the root causes of the whole crisis was deregulation, poor enforcement of regulations and "new" financial instruments that allowed for circumventing regulations.

> People attempted runs on Chinese banks a few months ago at the beginning of the real estate collapse there.

China is a bad example for many reasons. It is not really a market economy. There are extreme levels of corruption at all levels of the government. The real estate bubble has been growing for a long time at this point and the whole industry was marred with bad practices that eventually lead to the present state. I am no expert in the Chinese banking system, but I have heard about deep problems in there as well, which, I'd assume, would be at least partially tied to the corruption, poor regulation and poor enforcement of regulation. In such a situation when the whole real estate industry is collapsing due to the issues that have been ignored for more than a decade it would be odd not to expect it to negatively affect the banking sector also in the form of bank runs.

> It is good that we "believe" bank runs don't or are not going to happen and that is the whole idea.

It is indeed good that we have this belief. But it's also the result of the banking system's stability (even with all these crises). These two things reinforce each other.
