I agree with you, but I don't know how helpful this will end up being.

Endocrine disruptors are airborne and globally ubiquitous in the form of micro-plastics. All drinking water in the world is contaminated with it. [1]

I'm really not meaning to be dramatic on this, but we've completely missed the boat on this one while we were arguing about climate change, and it's much too late to do anything about it now.[2]

I'll not be here to see either way, and it's unlikely anyone else currently alive will unless Ray Kurzweil was right this whole time, but IMHO (I.e. take this with the pinch of salt a random Internet comment warrants) it's likely humanity as a species only has a few hundred years left at most.

This isn't meant to be doom-mongering, it's just that while we worry about some dramatic cataclysmic event like a nuclear war, a pandemic or a meteor strike, the science seems to indicate it's much more likely that humanity will die off with a quiet whimper in a few generations.

It's worth noting that this is not a mainstream view, and that the UN projects a level population out to 2300 [3] - I just don't see that the science backs up this claim, especially given recent understandings of fertility decline.

Mandatory army service can be like that. It’s like everyone’s miserable to be there. The grunts hate it. Their superiors think they hate it and so treat them like they are worthless. A soul sucking experience if you are unfortunate.
That's a pretty clever idea. I like it! There is limited package space on items, this would allow producers to document a whole lot of info and allow consumers immediate access.
There's at least one more approach to program extensibility that you should probably address: interpreted languages, especially Lua. Many games and utilities today use Lua or JS as an extension language. They have battle-tested runtimes, come with high-performance JITs, and provide the potential for rich interactive debugging and incremental development options that are not free with a WASM-based statically-compiled approach.

That's fine for you, a purveyor of tech news. For almost everyone else, they are a means to spam and false malware notifications.

Our company provides services to clients who rely on computers but aren't necessarily computer experts. The only instances of browser notifications that I've seen (on client machines) are those I just described. In fact, yours is the first instance of someone appreciating them that I've encountered.

No shade intended. I just don't think their benefit outweighs their abuse.

How do you determine that? As far as I have heard from people working in fertilization clinics, they can help pretty much all couples that have problems with conceiving due to male fertility issues. You need to go there in the first place, but once you request help, you get it.
Yeah it's what you get with 2:1 lines. Actual isometry would require some 1:1 "stairs" on these lines, making them look less nice.

In fairness, all the businesses that currently accept it (at least in America) as a method of payment would likely stop accepting it if they couldn’t exchange it for dollars.
Invaluable tool. Can handle massive collections of files. For power users it feels more appropriate to have a dedicated search engine application like recoll rather than embed search in the desktop (for a long time I was disabling baloo on KDE desktops as it would make the machine unusable while it was indexing).

The recoll UI could be improved and in general the integration e.g. with python scipting or other tools could be made easier but this is a much appreciated project and it is good to see it keeps being developed.

In an ideal universe projects such as this should converge with other desktop apps to create truly empowering information tools (repatriating the agency that has been relinquished to the "cloud")
It's not saying the study is flat-out wrong. It's critiquing specific aspects of its reasoning and categorization. Not at all comparable to antivaxxers.

Some portion of commenters on HN, for one.

There are plenty of people who are so desperate about anthropogenic global warming that they're willing to forgo having children and proclaim that the disastrous decline in fertility rates in places like Korea (see recent HN thread) are actually good and necessary because we need fewer humans on this earth.
Some companies are clearly run better than others, this is mostly apologist nonsense.

What really goes on is that the goals of executives is different from that of people who actually do things, and paradoxically, the ones who actually do things tend to be valued the least.

Yes, it's easy to see you put a lot of thought into that. I hope your course receives much more exposure. When I first found your videos a few weeks ago, I was surprised how few views they have given to the quality of the course.

Personally I am very fond of voluntary human extinction.

If we give up on withering away, and instead learn to accept death with some dignity instead of becoming a parasite to our offspring, euthanasia is a good way to go.

The fact that the older, non productive population will be more than the productive population in the not so distant future suggests that we need to rethink the way we go about doing things.

If life expectancy moves past 100, and people retire at 60-65, society will need to feed and take care of people for 35 or so years, that is far far more than the time and money it invests on its children, for a much larger segment of the population, which suggests that the old exploit the young.
Assuming you haven't somehow stolen the real site owner's private key, you would need to produce a certificate for that DNS name, signed with a key you do have.

Which is something you could in principle do if you are a trusted root CA. But, this creates a smoking gun. The bogus certificate is a public document, you're always giving it to the client, and for Chrome, Safari, Chromium Edge you are also obliged to publicly log the certificate, where everybody can see it forever, in order to have an SCT (proof of logging) which those browser insist on seeing.

Modern rules require a root CA to disclose any intermediate CAs which are created, even if not currently in use (e.g. because still being tested) and which could issue trusted certificates unless the certificate for the intermediate is technically constrained (which is complicated, but a general purpose CA is not technically constrained for the purpose of this definition)

In practice, most outfits offering "MITM" type capabilities are for corporate environments, education, that sort of thing, where you can say "All employers/ students/ whatever shall trust our our private CA FOO" and then you can MITM using the trusted FOO CA. So this doesn't interact with the Web PKI overseen by m.d.s.policy at all. If you don't want to get MITM'd don't trust some sketchy private CA.
All money is created as debt. With inflation at least we decrease some of that burden over time.

Running Fast Transformers on CPUs

That's $4M per day - or the way cloud products are priced per hour - ~$190k per hour.

W/o bulk discounts, ~$0.4 gets you 32GB of memory and 16 vCPU on AWS.

So this is only 400k blades. ~20 blades per rack. ~20k racks.

That's like 1 large data center in US, EU, Asia, & South America. Sure, Twitter should be getting a lot more for that because they have a larger scale and AWS has like >50% margins or whatever.

But before anyone says this is out of control for a company the size of Twitter, it's really not.
The “various reasons we all know about” I’m guessing are: theft of intellectual property, theft of the technology and skills.

> they'll probably be offended by it once they figure out what it means.

If that person is from the States and/or uses the term specifically in the way it's used in the US.

And even then most might just shrug it away because the word doesn't bare any significant emotional or historical baggage. What's another idiot on the internet?

Meanwhile you keep forcing the US-centric view onto the world.

> I just answered your question with the simple and obvious truth.

Ah yes. The "obvious truth" apparently meaning "whatever is true for this specific US-centric view of US-specific issues and US_specific cultural baggage is the truth".

> Honestly you're coming across as more of the "offended" type than the people asking for the name change in the first place.

Yes. I'm offended by the US shoving its way of thinking down everyone's throats and expecting everyone to meekly comply because "it's the objective truth".

> And your quote isn't really helping you out. Comparing changing the name of a new software library to changing the name of a long standing physical product on shelves is dishonest

Of course what makes it dishonest is your monopoly on the truth, got it.

> If I consider a hypothetical situation where I named my project "Coolie"

You already said, I quote, "I’m working on a new terminal string styling library that I’ve named Colored which should be of some interest to you." which was probably supposed to evoke some kind of indignation from me.

I can only re-iterate: stop forcing your US cultural and societal issues onto the world.

> I'd just change it.

You? Maybe. As it actually turns out, Americans expect everyone else to conform to whatever they find offensive while never, or rarely, changing themselves.

Use your body. A sedentary lifestyle and poor diet makes it difficult on top of all the plastics that we consume.
By mitigations you mean the draconian policy for healthy people that failed to protect the elderly and vulnerable anyway?

And all of this debate fell apart after vaccines were unveiled as a magic bullet, and then talk of herd immunity threshold died after the majority of people got vaccinated.
I agree with the sentiment that there is significant absurdity hiding beneath all the economic abstraction around employment and investment, which obscures the origin of money as a requirement. The way I see it (and this is a rather centuries old observation) is that the economic system is set up so that most of the population requires earning money for their survival. Earning money is a social requirement not a biological one. But if the resources are cheaper now that money is more valuable, what is the problem with earning less money for one's work? The problem is that some people would rather keep charging the same for what they sell. If one doesn't own much, then one can't afford waiting for a better deal. In this situation having power means owning money, houses, land, machinery and little debt. This makes workers require the same salary in order to survive and perform their jobs, this contributes to the (abstract pseudo-)problems of less employment, less consumption, less debt obligations being fulfilled. The real problems is on the one hand the resources required for survival being out of reach, and on the other resources, machinery and skills going to waste. For many, directly tackling the real problems may come dangerously close to disregarding social requirements. Hence, we keep talking about this problems in abstract terms, so that important members of society can live off the rent, by convincing the rest, by whatever means necessary, of the survival-money exchange rate. Money is a peaceful mean to make them follow orders.
The course is exactly book + exercises.

We retrain models as we get new datasets and only if they improve, which is not common. So far we haven't updated any model. When it's time, then yes, they will be updated, but it's definitely not a frequent process.
Not necessarily. Suppose that person has multiple reasons to want kids and multiple reasons to not want kids. They analyze the pros and cons and figure that the cons slightly outweigh the pros so they choose not to have children.

If later they learn something unpleasant about nursing homes, or pension plans, or something else relevant to their expected quality of life at their old age, then that might tip the scale towards having children, even though it is only one of many reasons.

The last reason that tipped the scales towards a decision is not necessarily the only one or even the most important.

So this trend has been going on for a while now, I looked a bit into it about 5 years ago here's what I found:

- Tons of popular and legal products/chemicals are "endocrine disruptors"[1] (fancy term for mess with hormones).

- The FDA/EPA doesn't deny that, they don't themselves even really require tests for long-term health effects in humans (too difficult). Instead they give animals a 1000x+ dose and look for immediate drastic effects (this is abbreviated "LOAEL"). That's the reason we have a xenoestrogen in the lining of soda cans (BPA), because we're trusting that tiny doses must be negligible, which isn't necessarily a valid assumption [2].

- The attitude on a lot of chemicals is "Safe until proven guilty," but when some of these chemicals are suspect (e.g. pesticides) instead of a public announcement they are pulled from public use quietly prior to the point of definitive evidence. New/similar ones can be introduced with presumption of safe until proven guilty. (Search PFOAs if you want to get a sense of how ineffective our protection mechanisms are)

I came to the conclusion a radically new model is necessary, the EPA/FDA need to design models to test for fertility effects, perhaps multigenerationally, in their studies (fruit flies?) quickly.

My bet is within 20 years we'll see it as the more immediate problem than global warming.

Is this the first time a CA has been distrusted for reasons completely unrelated to the security or operations of the CA itself?

Reading through Kathleen's summary of the issue[1] that others linked elsewhere in this thread, the only statement relevant to the actual CA portion of TrustCor's business seems to be:

> There is no evidence of TrustCor mis-issuing TLS or SMIME certificates.

Even the original post says:

> Just to restate: I have no evidence that Trustcor has done anything wrong, and I have no evidence that Trustcor has been anything other than a diligent competent certificate authority.

So it seems like the sole basis for this action is TrustCor's mere affiliation with another company that does TLS interception? If that's true, it seems like a pretty significant departure from previous removals, which all (to my knowledge) involved some sort of action or inaction affecting the security of the CA certificate itself.

Is there anything in either Mozilla or Microsoft's root store policies which prohibit CAs from being affiliated with shady companies? Or does this just fall under the "at our sole discretion" clause?

Yeah trying to avoid toxic chemicals as a consumer is nearly impossible. We've been doing a home renovation and have been attempting to use zero or low VOC products and it's incredibly difficult and expensive. The effort it requires to do the research and sourcing for every product you use in your life is basically impossible for most people.
The tree of life shaped connector is pretty awesome. It is very fitting with the tarot aesthetic.
This entire comment is irrelevant. The Knox fuse only matters if you're flashing the stock rom back. Only the stock rom actually cares about Knox. The custom roms all ignore the value from Knox or simply spoof it. In other words it's just punishing you for daring to flash a custom ROM.
So what is the plan for higher level languages? Let's say I wanted to be able to write extensions in python, is that one the roadmap at all?
You have the ability to disable just browser push notifications, at least for Android. I actually find notifications useful, but they can quickly become useless if you are receiving a lot of irrelevant notifications. If you disable all notifications on Android, you wont get things like calendar reminders.

Although it can be useful for some web applications, I kind of wish that push notifications were not added to browsers. Most often they are just abused to spam users. The pop-up you get while going to pages asking you to allow push notifications is also annoying. I have started to disable notifications in all the browsers I use on mobile and desktop.
It's possible. With subsidies. The US is literally paying tsmc for this to even be viable.

Tsmc is not coming here because it's an economically wise move. They are coming here knowing it's an economically irrational move.

Politics is the reason for this move. It is not a clear cut win.

Your post has the aroma of patriotism. Patriotism blinds us to harsh truths. Why do you love how people were wrong when they said we can't make chips in the US anymore? You shouldn't feel love or hate for any of these statements.
But like, why are we griping about women getting more attention, literally on a comment chain about male issues? We're just giving the attention back to women, which is what you had an issue with in the first place??? If your problem is that men aren't focused on enough, let's talk about men in this study that studied men.

Just another side effect of sugar industry pushing that "fat" is bad. Now no one cooks with butter or lard and use nonstick (Teflon) pans which leaches into food and into water sources when it's produced.

My wife and I have a beautiful daughter about to turn 2. But she wouldn't have existed if it weren't for IVF (in vitro fertilization). Had to stab her stomach with needles for a while to make hormones to mass produce eggs and then they took my sperm to put into her eggs and see which ones took. Five viable pairings happened. Three were put into her and out came the one kid. Other two are in cryo for future use, and hopefully we can try them too one day soon. I was hesitant about IVF when I was younger, but now I recommend it to anyone who's having difficulty conceiving. The doctor showed us my sperm in a petri dish. They were tiny in number and so lazy to move compared to a video that the doctor indicated to be more healthy sperm. Whatever lifestyle changes I need to make to make my sperm better, not sure it can be done overnight and my wife was 38 at the time of conception.

Kid is beautiful, stubborn, independently-minded, cute, all of it. Would not trade her for the world.

If you're having difficulty conceiving, please consider IVF. We tried for 3 years the natural way with no dice.
