This agency https://www.cancer.org/cancer/risk-prevention/chemicals/talc... seems to downplay the risk of cancer.

Is it possible Johnson and Johnson have been maligned? I'm not an advocate, I'd be interested in seeing significant evidence that their product causes cancer. However, I'd like to see a firm distinction between talc and talc contaminated with asbestos. The link with asbestos and cancer is clear. I'm not convinced of the problem with talc powder.
My daughters recently showed me how easy it is to grow scallions: too easy. Just cut off the bottom inch (the white bit with little roots hairs) and stick in a jar of water by a window. A week later: a complete scallion!

CPUlator has played an instrumental role in my ARM-based Assembly explorations. One can simulate a full system, including not just the processor, but also the peripherals and the system-on-a-chip interconnects, mimicking a real system's behavior. I really appreciate the ability to inspect the memory as well as the individual registers as you are running a program.

The possibility to show real-time visual feedback and debugging capabilities provides an excellent avenue for people to understand the nuances of computer architecture. Through CPUlator, I have been able to guide learners through the use of ARMv7 assembly instructions and their usage who might not have access to ARM hardware themselves. I can't recommend this tool enough.
I think this is a great point. It's easy to come back with a "hah, look how gullible you are" when someone believes hoaxes like this, but that ignores the reality that "truth is often stranger than fiction." I mean seriously, a coconut crab specifically evolved a special breathing apparatus to survive on land - why should that be any different from an octopus having "special adaptations" to keep it from getting desiccated when out of the water for extended periods?

It's like when I used to read through Snopes feeds, and 9 times out of 10 I'd think "wow, that's so dumb, how could anyone believe that", and then the tenth time I'd think the same thing for a story that actually ended up being true.
Canada doesnt have these kinds of issues with its universal healthcare. We have pioneered new processes to reduce the burden to our medical system [1].

Living in Ohio (no inspection "rust belt" state), I saw a minivan's axle pop loose ahead of me on the highway, which sent it into the concrete barrier pretty much instantly. Perhaps you don't have rust issues where you live, but requiring some minimum mechanical function to register a car should be everywhere in my opinion. Generally inspections are either mechanical/safety or emissions. Emissions are based on the car model in every state I've lived in, so as long as you don't modify your car to blow smoke it'll pass. Mechanical inspections are to make sure there's no major rust, the brakes work, the lights work, tires aren't bald, etc.
And in our traditional lack of foresight we forgot to account how such medical advances would explode the population count and now there are more humans than rats, it should have been obvious that more contraceptives would be needed (including promiting their usage of course); now we have many one problems thanks to such carelessness, global warming being the biggest one.
Why might it have four wings over two?
All your points about 25-year-old safety standards is perfectly valid.

However, re: "crumple zones":

The streets of the USA are basically an arms race. Bigger and bigger and bigger because "it's safer". Safer for you, maybe. This is how we ended up with pickup trucks that have hoods as high as your shoulders.

Kei trucks and cars are great, and in Japan they're quite safe (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24499113/) but the context is completely different. Cars weigh half as much, the drivers are twice as careful and traveling at half the speed.
Japan is a unique world all to itself. Read up on how houses and streets are numbered and you will arrive at a similar chaos!

> For example, if someone on a motorcycle chooses not to wear a helmet and not to have health insurance, they could incur millions of dollars of costs that their other people have to pay for. It's reasonable, then, to force people to wear motorcycle helmets.

As a long time rider and have lost friends and other riders I can tell you one thing: not wearing a helmet is the easiest way to save everyone money. You're guaranteed to die in all but the least serious of accidents (dropping your bike at a stop), clean up fees are cheap, funerals can be made cheap, the only variable is the cost of therapy for the person who has to mop you up. Of all the people I know who've survived accidents their gear was the reason they were able to pay for a doctor's kid's schooling (and probably a bonus ferrari).You'd think we'd encourage no-helmet laws!

I know you're making a larger point here and I am being sarcastic. I just think it's funny you chose this example when it's likely the cheapest way a motorcyclist can die.
> > WebTransport is QUIC

> No it is an API to expose lower level parts of HTTP/3 to developers. HTTP/3 uses QUIC as a transport protocol, but it is very wrong to say it "is" QUIC.

Well, that's the only thing the parent got almost right. (The rest was obvious nonsense, though. I agree.)

WebTransport is of course not QUIC. But it allows to use QUIC streams almost directly.

There are no "lower parts" of HTTP/3 other than QUIC. HTTP/3 is a quite thin layer directly atop of QUIC.

With WebTransport you send a CONNECT request with some special flags / headers to the web server and given a correct response you can start using raw QUIC streams over your HTTP/3 QUIC connection.

The overhead to get at your raw QUIC streams is quite low and a one time thing. From there you can directly use all the capabilities QUIC gives you (client or server initiated reliable unidirectional and bidirectional data streams or unreliable datagrams transporting arbitrary binary messages over a kind of "virtual" connection).
I cannot speak to DuskOS, I don’t know anything about it.

While historically Forth has been “its own OS”, it’s a kind of crummy one. Especially for anything a modern reader might think of when they think of an OS.

I mean, for sure, what do you want from something that can run in 8K of RAM. But while it offers primitives, historically it doesn’t of any concept of things like drivers or most any other abstractions. Code is loaded from source code (which is slow). Linking is just loading blocks in the right order. Loading a new program you must first remove the current one.

Arguably not much better than CP/M, which routinely cold started the machine to exit a program, but at least it separated the BIOS from the BDOS.
Just take 10 minutes and skim the book chapters. The rules of the script are nowhere near as loose as you say. For example, Linear B doesn’t differentiate between k/g/kh like alphabetic Greek does (κ,γ,χ) — an important distinction, sure, but its loss doesn’t let you turn anything into anything else.

So with the Theban tablets, if the decipherment were false it should have yielded nonsense when applied to unknown texts.

i don't see the point of this, seeing current operating systems will still exist and there will be more of a desire to get those running and supply the hardware for them, than this niche OS.

> Health officials should have no say over how people choose to live.

I'd agree that health officials shouldn't be able to dictate how people live their lives, except when externalities are present (and even then, it's a balancing act). But I think it's great when researchers figure out what the impact is of various common behaviors, so people can decide whether they wish to do those things. This article is just another iteration on that discussion.

I welcome Dr. Oster's perspective on this subject because she is generally good at keeping her biases from poisoning her research, she has no conflicts of interest regarding this research, and she is thorough in her analyses. However, I am mindful that she is an economist, not a medical doctor, and I would tend to put more stock in an unbiased MD than econ PhD (even though I majored in econ and generally think the field is useful).
> Different US states' very unique interpretation of laws on certain things is something I have seen that needs explanation to foreign visitors and people who immigrate,

Your examples are actually different state laws, not different “unique” interpretations of laws, which is a pretty big mistake for someone who talks about needing to explain the situation to others.

"I think human consciousness is a tragic misstep in human evolution. We became too self aware; nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself. We are creatures that should not exist by natural law. We are things that labor under the illusion of having a self, a secretion of sensory experience and feeling, programmed with total assurance that we are each somebody, when in fact everybody’s nobody. I think the honorable thing for our species to do is deny our programming, stop reproducing, walk hand in hand into extinction, one last midnight, brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal."

Discord should be a last resort when documentation fails. People should be able to RTFM, and if they’ve come to Discord that means that either 1) they didn’t RTFM or 2) the answer isn’t in TFM or 3) the answer isn’t clear from TFM in which case your writing needs to be clearer.

So when people are asking questions in your Discord, you should loop that answer back into your documentation.

> What's the right age for us to start decrying someone's continued existence?

It's not about age, it's about the cost of living vs the quality of life. These "miracle treatments" are often anything but. In many cases, they are a million-dollar ticket to a tortured existence.

If I live 60+ years, I've had a good run... if I need a $1MM treatment, my body is likely in a very bad state. My quality of life can't be very good at that point.

So when I think of my options:

- Extend my medical-torture hell for another 2 years

- Buy a home for both of my children

- Do a LOT of cocaine for 3 months

I'm really not inclined to go with the medical-torture hell.

I'm not afraid of death, we are all going to die, and in a finite universe, I consider it morally wrong to use limited resources on a project with awful diminishing returns. Especially when the project doesn't even make me feel good.

So what does it get me? 2 more years of talking to my children? If I've lived 60 years, I've taught them enough. My life is enough, and enough is enough. No need to be greedy about it when your life is already good.

> Is it wrong for people with chronic health conditions to seek treatment rather than just dying?

I don't think so, personally. The same arguments do not apply, this is a completely different situation.

Even widespread information can be false. For instance, you can not "catch cold" by getting cold, the name of the illness is misleading.

I mean absence of incentive to lie is far from universal criteria to distinguish false information.

A kei truck is still safer than taking a bicycle or motorcycle on public roads. Do you propose banning those?

How about the giant trucks with huge blindspots known to roll over kids in driveways, where's the outrage there?

> But there's no good reason we need to allow people to import old, unsafe vehicles like this.

Sure there is, there's a gap in the market for small efficient light trucks/vans for around town and in urban environments, things that don't need to go on interstates. Light vehicles that don't mess up the roads like 6000lb+ vehicles. But we aren't allowed to have nice things like this due to the tariff situation, so the 25yr loophole is currently the only way.

“Scratching the surface on talc“
Did you pun here on purpose?
Almost ironically, Talc is a standard of care for malignant pleural effusions ( mesothelioma, long metastasis is other cancers cause “pockets” in the lung cavity which collect fluid and impede breathing and are painful. Talc is commonly put in the pleural space too -as I understand it— abrade the tissue and cause it to adhere, sealing the pockets and relieve some symptoms. To me it has been an example of how new drugs are badly needed in some serious but “esoteric” diseases.

Whew. I’m glad this exists. It’s been a few days since yet another programming language has been introduced into the world.

Sarcasm aside, while I think striving to be better is great, sometimes I wish there was just a standard language for programming.

I realize it depends on the context (mobile, web, desktop application, different platforms) but it can feel overwhelming when in the end, they all pretty much do the same thing: tell a computer to do things.
Well, there's less ice cream on the market accessible to consumers. Look closely at those tubs in the freezer at the grocery store, and you'll see that many of them are "Frozen Dairy Dessert", because they don't measure up to the standards to be properly labeled as "Ice Cream". Not knowing this subtle distinction, we purchase something like ice cream, but it's worse, we have a bad experience with it, and we're less likely to buy anything like it at all.

Sometimes I purchase ice cream from a specialty restaurant, and their gimmick is that they carry three dozen "mix-in" ingredients that you can have added to the base ice cream before it's scooped into your cone. But, I'm obese; I need to go easy on those empty calories, but it was good at a baseball game.
Yep it sucks. Even in "better" places cars still find a way to ruin things though, so it's a constant battle.
Just tagging in for comment OP.

Copilot really does work wonderfully for me, as expected with any AI code completion. I run copilot and coc.vim simultaneously, to be noted. So when I just want to autocomplete a word, it'll be coc.vim, but when I want a whole line/method/etc built I'll let copilot be my copilot.
