Wow, yeah that sounds annoying. I wouldn't characterize mine as 'bad', it's always been like that so it's just what things look like. It's not annoying and doesn't make it hard to function. I do get an interesting number of the listed associated symptoms (in small amounts), though. Photosensitivity, lens flares at night, tinnitus (not the hearing damage type, just a permanent high pitched hiss like an old CRT, basically sounds like what this looks like.)

Mostly those borders were always going to be nonsense no matter who came up with them. One village is this group, another village is that group then the next is also to the first group. It's like that in almost every country. Obviously the British and French really screwed up a lot of stuff but there's a reason people who criticize the borders never offer any suggestions of where they actually should have been.
Haven't heard of this, can you share more context or a link to a story about this?
> The term HTML5 is essentially a buzzword that refers to a set of modern web technologies. This includes the HTML Living Standard, along with JavaScript APIs to enhance storage, multimedia, and hardware access.

> You may sometimes hear about "new HTML5 elements", or find HTML5 described as a new version of HTML. HTML5 was the successor to previous HTML versions and introduced new elements and capabilities to the language on top of the previous version, HTML 4.01, as well as improving or removing some existing functionality. However, as a Living Standard HTML now has no version.

Even though it may cover a lot of basic and familiar topics, I think the following is the best (re)introduction to HTML:

Worse yet, the personal action campaign turned a lot of people into rabid animals with 'recycling' everything, including much of which is just landfilled. And if you call into question the whole recycling industry, which has been mostly proven to be a scam of the plastics industry, they'll just get angry and say something like "well you just have to trust them at some point".

Now, metal recycling is definitely a thing. Recycling alu or iron is definitely a valid thing. It costs a lot of energy to convert iron ore or bauxite into the associated pure metals.

Countrywide laws that could change how recycling and products work: require cradle-to-grave product laws, and then make the source responsible for disposal. (That would turn the current externality into an internality. And their scale would help solve it.)
I know, I'm not talking about half-jews at all; if I make up a religion stating lizard aliens identify their descendants with the name Leonardo, does that make him a lizard alien? According to me, yes, but that doesn't change at all who he was.

I don't see this intended to unseat JSON. But it can be helpful for local testing and debugging of Rust projects. I wouldn't really expect this for general purpose serialization because JSON is more standard and for inner-app communication you can use something more compact.

I did actually use this in a project because it differentiates between nesting of Option. Particularly we were having some confusion of Some(None) and None and this helped our tests catch more issues. In production we used JSON. Serde makes it trivial for the same code to switch between formats.

I think they already don't blindly feed it just all the garbage raw data they can find, but prefer high quality, well-prepared sources.

If by that you mean Common Crawl, Wikipedia etc, that's hardly "high quality, well prepared", and very subject to the biases and flaws of the creators who will vary widely in expertise, intelligence and ability.
Yes! My bad thank you for the correction. That's a bit sobering.

They have no right to delete installed games, do they? How, exactly, is steam going to prevent you from accessing the files on your computer? They are always there and ready to be archived by you and even Steam itself.

Now, some, or even many, new games may refuse if they are somehow extremely dependent on the service. The ones that I have tried run fine. Most old stuff, though.

> discipline to stick to a daily exercise regimen except when it's gamified like this

I get that, but I'm talking about a more extreme behavior. There exist people who appear to be in it for *only* the game. My eyes were opened when I saw someone on Reddit bragging about the length of their streak, but they'd done fewer lessons over 2 years than I had done in a month or so. And I'm not exactly speed running. In other words, they're going out of their way to *not* do any Dueling in the name of earning fake gold stars.

That said, I also agree that what you say is a thing. However I don't understand those people. Why anyone would care about earning a badge on a site is beyond me. If it works to get them to do something useful, great. But I still don't understand those people.
First, it’s great to read the full paper with no paywall. Kudos.

Second, I agree with the conclusion that more research is needed. I’d love to know what effect these plastics have on brain function.
I know there won't be any convincing you, but these types of thoughtless comments are why sensible discussion on this topic doesn't happen very often. Thoughtless anit-Apple comments are no more insightful than thoughtless Apple fanboy comments.

My preference is to have a device where there are no technical means to side load apps (as that is a security control), and to have a device where a publisher cannot attempt to force me to use a side-loaded app store. I explained my reasons for having those preferences, and if you'd like you can respond to that. But this comment simply ignores all of that. You say "my choice", while ignoring all of the reasons I provided for why these changes could potentially undermine my ability to choose entirely.

>> “we have like 45 percent click-through rates and 98 percent open rates,” Mr. Kutcher said.

I have to think these metrics are BS or just wrong.

There is no way enough users have read receipts turned on that they can legitimately claim to track a “98% open rate”

The world is a very large place; it probably took this long for people to realize that using a handheld metal detector in those particular areas would find a useful amount of gold. It's not clear whether they're just for prospecting or actually finding meaningful quantities of gold as nuggets? Traditionally it's in tiny specks.

The last gen of popular LLMs focuses on publicly accessible web text. But we have lots of other sources of "latent" or "hidden" text. For example, OpenAI's Whisper model can turn audio to text reliably. If you point Whisper at the world's podcasts, that's a whole new source of conversational text. If you point Whisper at YouTube, that's a whole new source of all sorts of text. And then there are all sorts of private sources of text, like UpToDate for doctors, LexisNexis for lawyers, and so forth. I suspect "running out" isn't a within-a-decade concern, especially since text or text-equivalent data grows exponentially in the present internet environment. I think the bigger challenge will be distinguishing human-generated from AI-generated data after 2023.
If I just have a basic radiodish, send out a kilowatt of signal and keep it relatively stable, how far away someone could make it out though?

Inside a crystal, electrons act weirdly like an electron that travels with a "perturbation" around it, so the mass for calculations is not the mass of an electron traveling in vacuum. It's call "effective mass" m* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_mass_(solid-state_ph...

The weird part is that it can be negative, so we already know quasi-particles with negative mass.

This quasi particle with negative mass and negative charge is a fermion so it's mathematically equivalent to a quasi particle with positive mass and positive charge. We call them "holes" and people that work with semiconductors think about "holes" instead of weird particles with negative mass.

Anyway, inside semiconductors they slow down and follow the conservation of energy law, they don't get faster and faster like in the simulation. The weird behavior of the simulation is not realistic.
Critiques of the rule-based order only work when they're not proposing a far worse alternative.

Having a check mark does promote your tweets in various ways, though. It’s definitely a force multiplier.

Replies from verified accounts would show up higher in the replies list, and replies dunking on bad tweets was (is?) a good way to get a bunch of like minded followers. See every grifter in 2016 replying to every one of Trump’s tweets for clout.
I'm on an advisory board for the CS department at the local CC. They have a real problem hiring teachers, because their students end up making more than them at an entry level. And not just a little more, a lot more. So anyone they hire to teach the material is poached almost immediately, or quits due to despair at the situation. Not sure how to fix this, but it's a terrible situation for an educational institution.

The most important question is whether they are cleared over time or if they are bioaccumulative like heavy metals. Can the body clear them?

Is there a way to clear them at all? Even with medical assistance? There is chelation therapy that can clear some heavy metals. Anything like that for nanoplastic?

I have no idea so I submit the question to the hive mind.
I find it heartbreaking.

I grew up in the Cold War (my father was in the CIA). Russians were considered brutish, non-creative, and untrustworthy.

Then, the Berlin Wall came down, and everything changed.

I started to see amazing creativity come from Russia. Music, technology, art, actors, dance, all kinds of stuff. I loved working with Russian engineers. They were some of the best techs I'd worked with. I have a lot of Russian music in my iTunes rotation. I've enjoyed a number of Russian shows, on Netflix. At one time, that would never have been the case.

It really seems as if the door has been slammed on that.
Microphones, too.
Professor yes, adjunct no. My dad started teaching English Comp at the local community college and got me pulled in as well doing some computer science and information science classes. I started at the CC and did a few at the local state university.

Most schools are not hiring tenure track staff, and use adjuncts and contract assistant professors for the less profitable teaching roles.

I would imagine that music has a different dynamic, as lots of emerging professional musicians may be seeking those roles to get benefits, etc.
I'm sorry, you're spewing nonsense.

The problem is I didn’t know about f-droid and I believe that my experience in this regard is equivalent to the one of an average user. We simply don’t know which store is good, if not the default.

And the whole “free iphone” movement tries to go this route. We are basically living in a pocket between Apple pursuing their own goals (but thanks for explaining that again, someone bright here), status/rich iphone users, and app vendors who have to obey the rules. Why everyone here wants to destroy this pocket and get android-like situation on iphones when there already is an unlocked hacker-friendly f-droid or whatever is beyond me. I’m fucking sure that after Apple allows sideloading, most of these guys will say “nice, but now that it’s the same, meh” and will not buy an iphone anyway. While everyone who actually cared will suffer the consequences.

People like to send data around between different computers. Different computers have different endianness and potentially different padding requirements and differently sized 'usize's.

And there are the challenges with pointers and data structures others have mentioned. And supporting old files in the event of a Rust ABI change becomes incredibly hard.
The rules penalized larger cars, but but equivalent sized SUVs. They also mandated a lot of new safety stuff that is heavy: airbags, side impact protection, pedestrian crash stuff, crumple zones, cameras, etc.

So this basically killed off wagons, which were what people actually wanted to drive. My last three cars have gone from 2500 (1998) to 2750 (2016) to 3300 (2022) despite being basically the same size and same function.

The title seems to not quite match the article, unless I’m missing something. The title suggests that microplastics can reach the brain, which be a shocking result given that microplastics are relatively large (up to 5mm). The study only found that nanoplastics of a certain small size were found:

> In our study we performed short term uptake studies in mice with orally administered polystyrene micro-/nanoparticles (9.55 µm, 1.14 µm, 0.293 µm). We show that nanometer sized particles—but not bigger particles—reach the brain within only 2 h after gavage.

Still concerning, of course. They didn’t really do any quantification of how much this happened, they just administered rather extreme concentrations of deliberately produced nanoplastic formulas and then later found a couple particles in brain sample images.

The images they included (scroll down to Figure 3) are somewhat confusing in that they all have green dots in them, but only some of the dots are labeled nanoplastics. Even the control mouse has a lot of little green dots, but they’re not identified as nanoplastics for reasons I don’t understand. Someone more familiar with the subject matter would have to comment on how reliable this method is. The number of green dots is strikingly large in even the control mouse, so clearly they’re not all nanoplastics.
Russia's attractivity to foreign workers depends the availability of convertible money (sending money out of Russia is currently probably a bit of a problem and will stay so for a long time) and their security (which is probably not a given, with the rise of fascist state the security of foreign workers will not be the highest item on the list). So while everyone likes oil money, not many people will be likely to immigrate to Russia for that.

I tried. Programming classes in my CC were SO bad it made me want to help.

They wanted someone with a PhD and it paid 38k… non starter. The kind of PhD that’s willing to take that in a field like computer science is a very unique kind of person that doesn’t have better opportunities for whatever reason.
What are the security implications? It sounds like they might be feeding the config text directly into Serde - which means allowing potentially untrusted user input to instantiate arbitrary structs. That's a big attack surface.
The greatest Russian writer ever was black, Alexander Pushkin. Further the Russians tend to sympathise with subjects of racism as they for the most parts of the previous centuries were subjected to racism by countries to the west of them.
The difference between littering and air pollution is pretty easy to understand. What’s the alternative to littering? Holding on to your trash for a few minute until you find a garbage can. What’s the alternative to air pollution? Giving up all of our modern conveniences and rearchitecting our entire society. Without air pollution, we likely could not sustain our current population levels, so a number of people would have to die too.

Imagine society’s collective lifestyle was predicated on littering 100 candy bar wrappers per person. In such a scenario, I don’t think many people are going to get worked up over someone littering 105 wrappers.

Taking this analogy a little further, I always find it strange when people that litter 90 wrappers get mad at those that litter 110.

I never understood what Libreboot does on top of Coreboot. As far as I could tell it's a "distro" of Coreboot that just disables some things and maybe adds a few patches.

The possibility for a byte to be something other than 8 bit is the reason, why some people refer to 8 bit as octet in network protocols etc.

I think I remember somebody pointing to such a machine in some special area (Telco?) still in use in a previous discussion here ... but if that still exists it's very very rare and mostly historical.
The historian Hegesander tells us that the ancient Macedonians wouldn’t allow men to recline at symposia until they had speared a boar without the use of a net.
I don't think they are actually trying hard enough. As Homer Simpsons put it "We've wiped out entire species before, we can do it again"

--- helicopters and truck mounted mini-guns and suppressed sniper rifles with $18k thermal optic.

This all sounds like people wanted to spend money on those things rather than humping around shooting day in day out to suppress the threat. Also it's an activity that costs money. So what's cheaper than dealing with the problem. Scaring it onto your neighbors property.
Companies get away with exposing us to a lot more harm than just toxic waste, e.g., tire and break dust is everywhere; cheap plastic packaging on everything we eat and drink.
