How did you get the continuous glucose monitoring? I have only found it available through a prescription. (I'm in the US.)

In OTC A1C tests, I reduced mine from 10.6 to 7.6 to 6.0 over the course of 6 months with keto. I wanted to get a continuous glucose monitor so that I could discover if any foods were unwittingly sabotaging my efforts, but I can't find any that I can buy without a formal diagnosis and prescription.

Not true [see edit below, retraction]. The apps I write and load onto my own devices outside the store stay on my devices until I get a new device. I think there might be a profile that has an expiration of one to three years, but in practice that never goes off for me. I either add a feature or get a new device before that goes off.

Edit: Ok, "true depending". If you are a registered developer then your apps last a year. If you are unregistered then you get one week, which would be a total pain in the ass.

I am… fairly well versed in this area. This is a nonsense take because:

- USDC is on eth, BSC chain halts impact USDC is like saying apple halted because android updated. Did not see anything to indicate it was USDC on BSC, but if so that changes things. If they did USDC -> BUSD, still should have 0 impact on w/ds off-platform.

- managing liquidity reqs via silvergate or w/e the USDC w/d bank is called is managed just fine without USDC down time by plenty of other parties conducting USDC treasury operations.

At best, this indicates binance has really bad treasury management and is cause for concern. At worse, smoke -> fire. Anything to do with internal treasury ops (fair enough, do a pause) does not have cascading effects on user w/ds

Right. If Apple had asked for 3% to begin with noone would be complaining.
The original 8086 processor could directly address up to 1 megabyte of memory. The PC memory map allocated 640 KB of that for RAM.

The first kind of further memory expansion was classic bank-switching. Within that 1 megabyte address space, you insert a window, say 32 kilobytes, which can be set to some 32 KB section of the extra memory. Same way more than 64 KB was added to systems like the Apple II, which could only address 64 KB. It's a pain to program for this kind of arrangement.

Later, when running in protected mode, the Intel 286 would be able to directly address up to 16 megabytes of RAM, and the Intel 386 up to 4 gigabytes. Memory managers running in protected mode that could access this memory directly were created, which would handle memory for DOS applications.

Those two approaches for > 1 MB are XMS and EMS. Though I can't remember which is which!

You're going to continue paying Apple to verify your app.

Either you'll pay Apple directly, or the non-App Store will collect the 30% they have to send to Apple.
I'm aware of DNS over TCP (and why nobody uses it, partially because it depends on operating system fallbacks, heuristics, or complicated configuration), but on the other hand: every operating system supports secure DNS by now, why not use it? It solves two problems, the first being the amplification attack risk, the second being the risk of third parties reading, selling, and manipulating the contents of your DNS requests.

DNS over TCP is actually slower in many configurations, at least the ones I've tested. HTTP libraries and servers have been developed for fast opens with (probably protocol violating) workarounds for getting rid of the handshake in any way they can but DNS implementations seem to care very little, especially on the client side. 1-RTT TLS fixes serious connectivity annoyances while also providing security benefits at minimal overhead.

I personally prefer DoT over DoH, but the industry is moving away from DoT. Taking DNS, which is a fine protocol lacking encryption and sessions and adding encryption and settings is a very simple solution. An nginx stream proxy forwarding TLS traffic for port 853 to 53 is enough to set it up if you're not bothered by the handshake time that can be negligible in the age of 5G and fiber connections if you live in the right area.

Sadly, the "let's turn everything into JSON so I don't have to learn what bytes are" crowd won and becoming an old man yelling at the cloud doesn't solve anything. At least ODoH provides some additional benefits that just encrypting DNS doesn't at the cost of extra latency, though I'm disappointed with how its rollout is going.

Personally, I use DNS over UDP to my local PiHole which deals with all the secure DNS lookup protocols. This way only one device needs to maintain connections and deal with session resumption while every other device can rely on the simplicity and speed of UDP connections. Not exactly a defence-in-depth approach but it works well enough for me.

A real solution would be to meaningfully extend DNS in some way but doing so would require backporting this new protocol to at least ten years of computers, tablets, smartphones and IoT devices. I'd welcome a new protocol that fixes these issues if all I'd need is install another app or set up a forwarding service for legacy software, but most of the world wants something that Just Works(TM) and that Windows 7 server in the basement everybody hides when the auditor visits still needs to work.

Ok, and thank You for remember about Australia to Singapore transmission line.

Unfortunately, most of territories I mention, also have low population density, about 1/10 of western Europe, and have low middle income, so it is not right to directly compare them with western Europe or Singapore, in possibilities to achieve same infrastructure power.

* The middle-east no longer becomes a strategic region. Wealthy regimes see their income disappear. The US has supported Israel as a strategic check in the region, but with oil losing its value the US no longer needs to fund Israeli security. We are likely to see skirmishes if not major wars, but this time it's over empires in decline, rather than empires with strategic resources.

* Texas' GDP declines substantially creating significant unemployment. Will government scape goat immigration and create further social problems, or invest in leading the transition creating a new wave of energy industries.

* Developing countries swiftly raise their standard of living as cheap energy is brought online. No idea what this ramification would be.

Generally I agree although in case of the GPL there's a lot to criticize especially about the whole GNU project in my opinion.

I'm not OP, but I also adhered to an LCHF diet for ~8 months a few years ago. I found that, early on, maintaining a consistently high ratio of fats was hard, but over time, it simply became a natural aspect of things like e.g. eating normal/non-extra-lean beef.

For the first while I found that using coconut oil or olive oil was a trivial way of adding just pure fat to my daily numbers. Both of them are relatively cheap (though high cal) and can be added to any heated drink like coffee or tea with minimal impact on for flavor. Over time, this just became unnecessary, but it was helpful early on as it was trivial to prep a small container with n grams of oil every morning.

There are also nutrient bars that are explicitly higher on fat and protein and lower on carbs for this very purpose, e.g. 'good fats' bars.

Unlike what others report, while I felt generally good and had energy for day to day things, I simply could not ever work up enough energy for more rigorous cardio or weightlifting, compared to when I'm on a normal/carb-rich diet.

And do they lower it again when the 'cut' is 1/2 in year two? I haven't seen that, I've only seen devs pocket the diff.
> If a bettor’s account ever gets below zero — if Bitcoin has moved so far against her so quickly that you didn’t have time to ask for more [margin] money or close out her bet, and now she owes more on the bet than she has in her account — then that’s bad. You still have to pay out the winner on the bet, but you can’t collect from the loser.

Is there any reason that exchanges need to take on that risk? Why not design a market so that the contracts are limited to match exposures e.g. cap upside potential to the collateral provided on margin. If margin collateral is 20%, then limit profit to the 20%. Or perhaps use odds instead, similar to prediction markets.

I know it is popular/easy to hate on the man right now, but this is a really strange take.

Given that Musk has been talking about mars since at least 2001, many years before he had the resources he has now, and almost went bankrupt funding spacex's first orbital rocket, it's hard to believe he's pretending.

People seem happy to believe all negative things they hear about him, but discount anything that doesn't gel with this negative image. It's like how the same people who put all missteps of Tesla/SpaceX at Elons feet, will also discount any of the successes and say he has nothing to do with them.
It seems like you’re justifying the status quo when I think a much more practical answer would be to simply swap out the chickens for chickpeas or soy or any number of other high protein and cruelty free alternatives which would also almost positively be _way_ cheaper and less wasteful.

Literally a third of these paragraphs start with the word "overall."

At the same time, Apple has also been doing the opposite by playing government censor for the CCP by removing VPN apps from the App Store in China.

The knife here in terms of risking government overreach slices both ways, but in the case of Apple, they are in a much more vulnerable state for this sort of thing, since the CCP requires them to have meat shields (they need to have an office there) to continue operating in China.

One is massively more beneficial on the whole for user freedom.
I wrote https://github.com/ljw1004/seaoflogs - an interactive filtering tool, for similar ends to what's described here. I wrote it because my team was struggling to analyze LSP logs (that's the protocol used by VSCode to communicate with language servers). But I made it general-purpose able to analyze more log formats too - for instance, we want to correlate LSP logs with server logs and other traffic logs.

(1) I wanted something where colleagues could easily share links in workplace chat with each other, so we could cooperatively investigate bugs.

(2) For LSP we're often concerned with responsiveness, and I thought the best way to indicate times when viewing a log is with whitespace gaps between log messages in proportion to their time gap.

(3) For LSP we have lots of interleaved activity going on, and I wanted to have visual "threads" connecting related logs.

(4) As the post and lnav say, interactivity is everything. I tried to take it a step further with (1) javascript, (2) playground-style updates as you type, (3) autocomplete which "learns" what fields are available from structured logs.

My tool runs all in the browser. (I spent effort figuring out how people can distribute it safely and use it for their own confidential logs too). It's fast enough up to about 10k lines of logs.

Based on the regulations, yes. The regulations do not require Apple allow third-party stores without a cost/fee. Only that they allow them.

Apple's within their right to say, "OK, but that third-party owes us 30% of their revenue."
If you're asking me for my personal experience with such dark patterns on android, I don't have any stories to tell you. None of the apps I use on android are paid for, have ads or subscriptions, much less un-subscription dark patterns. For things like Uber or banking, Google is not a middleman in my transactions with those companies and I've never seen or felt any reason to desire otherwise.

If an app asks you to pay for a subscription and you don't like the payment processor the app uses, then don't use the app. It's really that simple.

Like how Apple's interests can be at-odds with your own. If developers have control over your device, you're not empowered as a user.

> A large portion of users want the protection that the walled garden affords

So, give it to them. Our interests are not mutually exclusive, you can make a device with both a walled garden and a developer mode. It's not rocket science, at least when you have 200 billion dollars in R&D cash sitting in your coffers.

> rather than Redshift

Despite what the Amazon marketing is telling, Redshift is not really a "fork" of Postgres.

To my knowledge they only used the SQL parser and the wire protocol from Postgres.

The optimizer, query executor and storage engine are totally different. The whole "Redshift is Postgres" is complete marketing BS in my opinion.
in Silicon Valley style "first principles thinking", you start from the premise that laws don't exist. Airbnb and Uber wouldn't exist if their backers urged them to comply with state laws.
My suggestion would be to build it first, and worry about legal issues when/if they actually happen.

Maybe you'll build it and it will attract no attention. Or you'll get bored with the project and drop it. Or a myriad of other reasons that will result in the project not seeing adoption.

Legal issues likely will only happen if the project sees adoption. I would focus my energy on making it being adopted first, instead of fixing legal issues that might never materialize.

If you want to use dollars in a smart contract or otherwise in the crypto "ecosystem" (holding them in a wallet), they are useful. If I were Goldman Sachs, I would have made the "GS Cryptodollar" by now, but we're stuck with weird and untrustworthy stablecoins like Tether and USDC.

By the way, the concept of a "stablecoin" (defined as a currency located in a separate financial system than its home) isn't new - you can buy eurodollar futures which are futures on dollars that are physically located in Europe. Ironically, you can also buy euroeuro futures contracts which are for euros located in the US: the euro- prefix on a currency just means "not delivered inside sovereign borders, although the European eurodollar is by far the most important of these.

Also automobiles; in the 1960s cars mostly moved from body-on-frame to unibody construction, where the skin is an integral part. The Lincoln Town Car was one of the rare body-on-frame cars, which is why it was often used for stretch limousines; it is much easier to extend the body.
