I would speculate that the societal stigmatisation of suicide is a form of social "guard-rails" that might keep someone from stepping to far in the wrong direction during a moment of weakness.

It might be the last thing that saves them when they are not in their right mind and have lost all hope and perspective. In that moment anything that can be done to protect them should be done because there is always hope, even if you can't see it right now.

Things do change.
Is this going to annihilate us? I didn't see them mention any safety risks, but it sounds similar to a quasar to me (a non-astronomer), and I think if one of those is pointing at us, we're toast. If they just detected the light, and the matter is going 99.9% of the speed of light, does that mean we're toast tomorrow? Next week? Next year?
I actually find that I'm more awkward online/in chats than IRL.

The fact that you have longer to think about your messages and modify them before publishing, that you have to think carefully so as not to multi-text (which seems desperate), that you don't have access to non-verbal cues for context, can't smile etc. all contribute to this.
I guess I don’t know what social media is. I think of whatsapp as akin to an instant messenger. Do those count as social media? Or maybe whatsapp has social media features I’m not aware of.
They don't need to be, but many people find it convenient (e.g. to not have to keep a local environment on multiple computers, to trigger builds from other services, ...), thus the services offer it as an option.
I know you are joking, but I think it's important that nobody feels excluded by assumptions on who "we" are, even in jokes.

"we" are not necessarily interested in having a girlfriend. We could be interested in having boyfriends. One or several. Or none at all. Or someone not specifically characterized by a gender. Or by another gender not listed here.
There are still reasons people might want to go to the theater (and they do since there are some movies like Top Gun and Wakanda Forver have raked in money). One is you don't want to wait. Another would be that you like going to the theater, particularly if you have a nice one nearby. It's an afternoon or night out. A third would be that some movies you want to enjoy with a crowd. End Game or Avatar come to mind.

There are also dates, and it's a place teenagers can hang out, and you something for your kids to do away from the house. The socializing stuff you might not get as much of at home.

I went to the theater a couple months ago because Smile looked like a good enough horror movie that I wanted to see it when it came out. I enjoy the theater experience for certain movies. Dune was a really nice theater experience. There's been a few that were great to see in IMAX 3D, like Prometheus or Tron: Legacy. Infinity War and Endgame were magical becuase of the audience reactions and just they incredible excitement around them across the globe. Granted, that was pre-pandemic, but maybe the latest Avatar recaptures some of that.
One of the consequences of this was that there were many parts on the 747 that were fundamentally the same part but had different part numbers (think physical copy/paste). Boeing had a huge effort turn of the century to rationalize those types of situations.
On a side note is there a site I can compare schools, crime, cost of living, healthcare etc across a range of cities ? In other words compare quality of life.
It is not how it works. Depending on the province, student submits a list of preferred universities with majors before taking the test, after taking the test, or after knowing the score. The list is divided in groups, and also depending on the province, the universities in each group may or may not be ordered.

In a province where the universities are ordered, students with the same first choice are grouped together and the said university gets the result and admits top scores within quota. If there are more quota than students, university looks at students putting it as second choice AND not admitted by another university yet. Never figured out how unordered group works so I won't explain that.

There are also nuances if students could submit list after knowing their scores, because universities can approach top students in private and negotiate terms with them to lure them into putting the universities as first choice.

Hence Beijing University only gets results if it is on the list of a student. And it is not always a good idea to put Beijing U as the first choice since in a province with ordered group, not getting admitted by first choice hugely decreases the chance of getting into second choice university.

I'm the author. The CMS law relates to specific pricing data, where each billing code is itemized, and prices are given down to the insurer level. These prices have only been available since Jan 1, 2021.

Aggregate data (or "list prices", MSRPs) have been available in some cases for a while now, depending on the state and context.

The biggest problem remains cloud and CDN companies with poor to nonexistent IPv6 support. Most ISPs, especially on mobile, have it now or are adding it very soon.

I've wondered whether some might be dragging their feet because they see an advantage in IP address scarcity to sell cloud gateways, CDNs, and other middle box type services. But the most likely explanation remains that not enough customers are asking for it so it's not the highest priority.

I happen to know that Google Cloud started moving on IPv6 seriously only when they lost some big telecom customers to AWS because they didn't have it.
You can clone early facebook’s features pretty easily, but you can’t clone the usage.
I disagree.

My target market is fairly small and well defined. Probably a couple thousand people in a small region of my country. Also I am definitely not selling a mass produced item. In fact I'll spend at least 4 hours for each customer.

But they don't all talk to each other, and I don't get to meet them in person before the sale. Also, they are unlikely to require my services more than once a year, if at all.

How would you suggest I let them know about my services?

You could say they will look me up, but they don't. In fact, they sometimes don't even know they need the service. It's only when it's too late that they realise they needed it. But it's too late.

And even if they look someone up for the service, others are paying for ads. So unless I do it too, I never show up.

So yeah, ads.
Exactly this!

"From a rough calculation, the flash appeared to give off more light than 1,000 trillion suns."

Can any space geeks chime in on this one?

Does this mean the emission of light from the sun at a single point in time x 10^15? My brain pretty much divides by zero even trying to comprehend such a large number and I'm just trying to grasp the relationship of the emitted light to our sun.

I'm the author of the article, but I'm not a lawyer.

Regarding your first point:

I'm aware of the copyright on billing codes. I suspect it means "you can't make your own billing codes based off of our system."

I don't think it means you can't republish the codes anywhere. They're republished all the time.

Someone can jump in and correct me.

Secondly:

The CMS law required hospitals to itemize their procedures by billing code _and_ by insurance company. Not that they all do that, but in theory, these negotiated rates should allow you to price shop between hospitals. The "list prices" are effectively meaningless.
> The article laments that things aren't right in the world when Steven Spielberg can't draw a theater crowd. Well, Steven Spielberg is an old, wealthy man now, and he is making movies for himself, not for the kind of audience that made Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park massive successes.

I sort of agree. I've enjoyed many of Spielberg's movies, but I have no interest in watching a fictionalized Spielberg biopic. West Side Story was meh, I tried watching it on Disney+, and gave up after 30 minutes or so. The music was dull and old-fashioned.

But the most obvious counter-argument to this is Schindler's List, a black-and-white Spielberg movie about the Holocaust (granted it has some 'feel-good' elements, but still). That movie made nearly $100M in the domestic box office in 1993. It's hard to imagine box office success for that kind of movie today.

Touch + Active Digitizer Pen is very good in my experience.

Handwriting recognition has gotten much better this decade, and having 'fingers" allows for pinch-to-zoom and finger-point to scroll. The pen allows for copy/paste, selection, and "hover" allows you to access Alt-text.

Touch + Active Digitizer seems to be an acceptable replacement for a mouse, and even functions as a very crude keyboard with handwriting recognition. The only issue is that I type several times faster than I write, so the keyboard is still my preferred entry method.

I like the idea that aliens are here but they reveal just enough of themselves to be at the top of our hierarchy without getting close enough to hurt us or make us hate them.

I dislike wasps - BUT the good thing if you find a nest, is the knowledge that they will never return to a nest the following year - so the next actually becomes something that will help prevent future wasp infestations.

When we bought our last house I changed a light fitting and live wasps poured out - I was freaked out, and put the fitting straight back.

A few days later I went into the attic to put some boxes up there and found a HUGE nest near the light fitting. I put my hand on it and could feel and warmth and buzz of the wasps. It was already mid summer so I just left it (there were not loose wasps in the attic - their entrance/exit was into the eves of the house).

By autumn they were gone, and we never again had a wasp issue in our house in the 10 years we lived there. I changed the light fitting the following spring.

Progress Toward an Engineering Discipline of Software • Mary Shaw • Goto 2015
Economies of less scale may be contributing. We still use a lot of concrete; use peaked in 2006. But most of that is for roads and bridges. Cement mixers are dispatched much less often to small projects. Developers have a strong preference for putting things up quickly, not waiting for cement to cure, which is compounded by high labor costs. Steel consumption has been roughly constant since the '90s, but prices have doubled, possibly due to energy costs. GFRP rebar performs similarly to steel but generally is even more expensive (the greatest misconception about plastic is that it's "cheap"), though this may be compensated in the long run due to its high corrosion resistance. The application of reinforced concrete is more cautious than it historically was due to rebar corrosion issues, requiring more waterproofing and higher safety factors; GFRP is virtually immune to corrosion but has (correctly) been subject to intense scrutiny to hopefully avoid a similar crisis due to any unexpected failure modes.
Really amazing work - just cloned the repo on my Apple Silicon Mac and ran the streaming sample. Worked flawlessly.
But that's not how lots of people have used it there. I see your point but to quote:

"Delete I would suggest a merge"

"Delete. This is not notable enough for its own article and should be in the main Hunter Biden laptop controversy article."

"Delete - I'm also of the opinion that this could very well fit in Hunter Biden laptop controversy"

"Delete -- under the scope of the laptop article."

Perhaps the nuance here is either 1) people are idiots and meant 'merge' but said 'delete' or 2) there's no need to merge anything if it all already elsewhere, so just delete this redundant article

My grandparents on one side of the family had a beautiful house, with beautiful furniture, and one large room you were basically forbidden from entering unless on special occasions when they were hosting a formal get-together. You had to be careful about everything you touched. I hated it. Loved them, but hated going there.

My other set of grandparents lived in a small house with a garden in back that they used mostly to feed themselves. Nothing matched, everything was old and decades out of date with respect to modern norms, some things had been repaired often. But it was lived in and comfortable and welcoming, and I loved it.

I appreciate beautiful things but I don't want to live in a museum. My home is small, and nothing matches. I'm okay with this.
My personal laptop has 8GB of RAM running Windows. It has plenty of RAM to run multiple chat applications, SDR software, a mail client, several browser tabs, streaming music playback, several SSH sessions, a few RDP sessions, a few text editors open, all at the same time. That's kind of a common set of applications open at any given moment on the thing when its being used. I'd say that's decently multitasking.

I don't doubt some things swap (pagefile, windows after all), but whatever its putting in swap is not noticeable. I don't experience stalls.

> For languages written with an alphabet, like Russian, there are romanization systems that exactly preserve all the available information.

As a Russian speaker, I must say that while this is technically possible, in reality it's only about 80% in most cases, and there is still ambiguity and lack of clarity in the sound transcription, unless you know the original Cyrillic spelling and pronunciation.

Russian has more letters. And Russian has sounds and constructions which are just not represented in Latin alphabet at all. For example, how do you differentiate between ё and йо, both valid constructions in Russian, with slightly different pronunciation, usually represented Latinized as yo?

Not only that, but the soft and hard signs are also difficult to represent and differentiate between similar letters.

You have to start using apostrophes for the soft sign, and then another character for the hard sign, and before you know it you might as well be writing IPA.

It's a beautiful language with a beautiful alphabet and script with a lot of beautiful literature to go with them that work well together.
