Yes, that dose is moderate and should have minimal adverse effects in most self-expermentalists.

But we do not yet know much about possible adverse interactions between genetic variation and rapamycin effects—at least in terms of human subjects seeking better health and longer healthspans. We do not even have this type if data yet for mice (but stay tuned).

On average rapamycin is highly effective in mice of both sexes and other species, but to the best of my knowledge there are no data yet on lifespan gains for primates like us.
Crime has been on a largely downward trend since the 90s. Yes, there has been a partial reverse since 2020, associated with a general breakdown in norms during Covid. But the broader trend is down.
I don't think that's a good explanation at all. People are murdering less than a few decades ago, beating their kids less, stealing fewer car stereos. There might indeed be moral decay, but that doesn't answer why fake license plates and not some other thing.

I suspect the reason for greater fake license plate use is the same reason for most products picking up: people are selling them, people are hearing about them, etc.

I suspect speeding has many causes, among them the fact that cars these days can accelerate easier and ride more gently at high speeds. People mostly drive however feels comfortable.
There’s always the kind of article that suggests that Chinese academic achievements are not that impressive because for some reason Chinese graduate students are just some kind of robotized academics incapable of independent thought, creativity and are just ver good order followers, which is something that everyone who has actually worked with Chinese folks know it is a stupid generalization.
Many of the subjects of Streetsblog's "criminal mischief" (defaced or obscured plates) are vehicles displaying NYPD parking permits. This problem won't get solved until someone besides the police is tasked with fixing it, at least in NYC.

According to the github readme, the guide has been around since 2001 but it seems fairly up to date..

There are numerous discussion going on the issue tracker, about adding rust chapter, targeting linux 6.1, etc.. Very cool to see github issues and pull request actively used to keep a guide up to date.

The guide will walk you through the basic of a kernel module. Exposing virtual files under /proc or /sys or messing around with system calls. It will fall short of helping you with the nitty gritty of writing an hardware driver though.

The problem with writing drivers is that you are interfacing with a real-world machine for which you will have very little information about.

Pick a device similar to the one you want to support, but that is already supported in linux. Go look at its source code. This will tell you far more about the work involved. You might realize that there is simply not enough information available to support the driver.
The end game of this line of thinking is "we need to make cities worse to make them more affordable." It's not great.

No. Prices are set by both supply and demand, and you're only considering demand.
They have helped, in at least some cases. I have not heard or seen whether they make a statistical difference. Of course then we get back to "if it only saves one victim" arguments.
This article talks about both unreadable and fake plates. I think you're talking about unreadable plates.

In that case you remove your tape or other obstruction before the inspection and put it back right after.

The police in New York support this kind of obstruction when done by the right people. The person quoted in the article removed an obstruction from a license plate of a car parked on the street. The driver called the cops, who took the side of the person evading traffic law.
During the BLM protests, and then when COVID hit, police "quiet quit" on traffic enforcement, despite little to no danger to them (and high availability of the vaccine, which many did not avail themselves of.)

Unfortunately, the result has been skyrocketing injuries and deaths.

This reminds me of the story of Bartolomé Arrazola.

He was captured by the Mayans in the jungles of Guatemala:

“[...] Then an idea flourished that he considered worthy of his talent, his universal culture and his arduous knowledge of Aristotle. He recalled that that day a total eclipse of the sun was expected. And he decided, in his innermost thoughts, to use that knowledge to deceive his oppressors and save his own life.

“If you kill me,” he said, “I can make the sun darken in its height.”

The natives stared at him and Bartholomew noticed the disbelief in their
Eyes. He saw that a small council had formed, and so he waited in confidence, though not without some disdain.

Two hours later, the heart of Brother Bartolomé Arrazola dripped its vehement blood on the sacrificial stone (bright under the opaque light of the eclipsed sun), while one of the natives without any inflection of voice, without hurry, recited one by one the infinite dates of solar and lunar eclipses. All of which the astronomers of the Mayan community had foreseen and written down in their codices, without the valuable help of Aristotle.”

By this logic we should remove airbags from cars also-- the vast majority of airbags just cost money to manufacture and don't ever expand or save a life, ending up in landfills unused.
> As I understand New York state requires car inspections every 12 months.

you could just make it readable prior to inspection then make it unreadable again.
You have zero reason or excuse to be speeding, other than personal selfishness.
I think there’s a non-zero amount of that going on. I’ve had conversations with people who’ve said exactly this about their car choice!
They fill me full of dread and anxiety. Surely that reduces life expectancy?
With enough incentives in place, decision-makers would do the necessary to make it work.

Both Gold and Celeron don't really mean anything. Celeron is often available with the same architecture as the other brands, often with less cores, maybe less speed, maybe some features disabled, but especially if you're comparing across architectures, the brand isn't important, the details are.

Your comment reminds me of the Ashley Gjovik story that made the rounds on HN a few times. She was reportedly a project manager at Apple, but reading through her billion-word blog[1], it seems she spent all of her time as an activist filing complaints to regulators and fighting literally everyone and everything in the company. I don't understand how people can keep their actual job performance satisfactory when they're so busy filing complaints and appeals and appeals to appeals and meeting with lawyers all day. Truly, it must be exhausting for them, too.

I'm genuinely having a hard time following your argument.

An anti-efficient transaction processing system (that gets less efficient the more people mine) managing 2-3 transactions per second is the same as ... airbags ... because they're not used in the ideal outcome?

The majority of electricity used to mine bitcoin (about 100TWh per year) is coal, and coal kills about 25 people per TWh generated. So it's steady-state responsible for about 1000 deaths per year if we assume only 40% of the power is coal. The Verge says its about 85% coal and gas. [1]

What's the quantity of resources consumed by airbags at rest?

Bitcoin doesn't 'just cost money' to make, it consumes wild quantities of power and yields wild quantities of e-waste. 100TWh per year and 54kT of e-waste.

If we followed this model, would you be ok with each laptop you buy yielding 333 identical laptop in a dumpster somewhere ... because airbags?

Like I said, I'm having trouble following this argument. Is there a chance your argument is less about airbags and more about, er, somewhat heavier bags?

One advantage of the "Another Solution" brought up in the article is that the code you write to create JSON for your web pages can be in large part reused for your mobile API. Certainly mobile screens are shaped differently, but not entirely. The trick is to abstract JSON-rendering logic in a way that lets you reshuffle bits and pieces for your mobile.

Disclaimer: I wrote the linked article for that solution.
I was taught to always assure that the drivers on the cross street are stopping, and its saved me a couple times, particularly in the rain when people think their car will continue to brake in 10' despite the roads now being covered with a mixture of oil, tire sludge and water which is almost as slick as ice.

But, yes I find myself not having a lot of respect for much of traffic control these days, when the cities can't be bothered to even make the lights flash at 3 AM, and instead are stopping me at every single light down a road for exactly zero cross traffic. Or when there is a light out, and a cop sitting in their car waiting for someone to not treat it like a 4 way stop instead of getting out and directing traffic.

So, while I don't live in a place with automated ticketing, I can see the allure of fake license plates. My brother in law's house just had a light added on the cross street he uses to leave the neighborhood. Whats the first thing its doing? Long light cycles with short interruptions and ticketing everyone who runs it. Again because while that intersection hasn't needed a light for the past 40 years, and the town he is in hasn't grown much it got one after some drunk teenager caused a big accident. So, now it backs up, and instead of just turning left after a 10 seconds or so with a gap, one can sit there for multiple minutes because there are a dozen cars backed up trying to get out. And of course the ticket is like $150 or something, most of which goes to the private corp that put the camera in.
Traffic enforcement should REQUIRE a police officer to be physically present at the time of the incident OR a retroactive issue related to an accident that happened.

The officer's presence would encourage safer driving at problematic intersections.
Fun fact: That's actually the real world location of Kree City [1] from the Marvel franchise. However, they had to film in Puerto Rico and show the city entirely via CGI for the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. due to the Cuban embargo and Skye flooding the city before the spec ops camera crew could get there.

These are all acts of violence or crime directly against others, and not necessarily signs of moral decay.

I'm not sure moral decay is the term I'd use, perhaps?

I'd argue what's happening is that people seem to care less about other people, and more about themselves. It's more indifference, than outward anger or spite. "I'm not running the red light to hurt you, I just don't care that delays you, and I've got places to be" mindset.

At least, that's what I've concluded from my own observations.
One issue has been jurisdictions shortening the length of yellow lights in order to catch people running the red light as a means of revenue generation.
Both Smith and Marx state their priors, and neither assume that their option is commonly held. Both make thoughtful and well articulated arguments.

As for a red light, my pedal will be to the metal if my buddy is bleeding out in the passenger seat. Is that far-fetched? It happened to a friend of mine at Boeing. He didn't get his friend to the hospital in time.
I'm sure it's "well-designed" from a theoretical perspective, and unimpeachable from the perspective of Professional UI/UX Development, but it's so inflexible and non-extensible it comes off as something between a toy and a jail cell.

This sounds backwards to me- usually the argument I hear is people on the left arguing for banning traffic enforcement because it can be pretextual/is applied discriminatorily, and people on the right, pro police people, claiming it's necessary for policing to work.
I missed that in the guidelines. Good to know.

There should be only 2 or 3 types of plastic allowed and they should all be recyclable. Single use plastics and non recyclable plastics should be outlawed.

i am defending the medical research that's been published. i want the same thing that you do, for sure, but the way that your words came across didn't mould well with the perspective that i have. something i've had. something i gained due to following along with many similar in-depth, cited medical and scientific research publications as the post and what i've linked, but, also due to a unique life experience that has actually stemmed from the fact "it", being something seemingly directly relating to anything and everything that's not "officially" there, happening, but so few is known about, that although it is happening, no matter the fact that it's really there and really happening, there isn't yet, currently, a solid way for anyone, at least on the outside, to know that it is. now. before. and will still most definitely be a thing that happened. a thing that happens. a thing that in future time, will be happening still.

i didn't fully know what a GCS was before today. however, 3 is the lowest. 3 of them had 3. one had 4. out of 15. 8 or less is considered severe. that paints a big picture as to the state of these humans.

either way, along the way, some good can come out of it and more research can be published. public. accessible. known about.
