I would trust a bigger bank more than I would a smaller bank, simply because the former has more money (or should, anyway...).

Really though, the moral here is to not put all your eggs in one basket. Keep another checking and/or savings account at another bank, big or small, with ample funds so your finances are redundant in the face of freak incidents.

And if you are really paranoid or just have bad luck with these things, keeping some physical cash at home for true emergencies certainly wouldn't hurt.

This is NOT a Ford vs. Chevy debate. It's a Ford vs. Uber debate. Apple people buy their products because it gives them an ecosystem that meets their needs. It's not for everyone, but it is for a lot of us.

I'm not sure why you are so perturbed by Apple. Do you have that same anger towards Lamborghini because your Corolla can do everything it does, but at 10x the price?

Honestly, this discussion is just stupid. If you like green instead of blue, then that's what you like! Why do you want green to act like blue? It's green - it shouldn't act like blue!

100% this.

Learned in the 90s early internet about the emotional harm that I’ve seen happen to people.

Slightly different topic. I think state and federal laws need to be passed regarding medical, police, evidence, and other types of private videos and photos from being leaked online. Too much of it magically leaks out and it’s just the people that are trusted with the data that are posting it online.
IMO you can have fictional science without going into the fantasy realm, simply by keeping it consistent with our current understanding of the Universe. Alistair Reynolds has written some truly epic space opera that completely omits FTL travel, much to the benefit of the story.
Kind of weird that they keep emphasizing "espresso" seeing how an Americano/Lungo/Allongé is basically just an espresso with added water (I might've offended some Italians just now). So why not just focus on the active ingredients instead? Maybe to distinguish from all the capsule coffees most people drink?
The quintessential signature of the BBS era was the sound of data that you heard coming out of your phone receiver.

>This is insane. So, if I'm understanding this right, the EPA did an assessment and got some really bad numbers. Then, the EPA decided it wasn't a good assessment and passed it without re-doing the assessment; despite how by law all new chemicals must be evaluated.

To be fair, the substances in question aren't some entirely new mystery chemical. According to the EPA they're petroleum derived fuels that are similar to existing petroleum derived fuels, and that's why they waved it through.

>EPA determined that the similarities in the PIONA profiles supported the assumption that worker and fenceline community risk from these PMN substances are similar to those of existing petroleum fuels and applied appropriate risk mitigation measures to protect both human health and the environment.
That's really generous.

This isn't about escaping the vm. It is about changing how the program works inside. Wasm also does not have the concept of read only memory which is another massive security hole.
See also: Technothriller (1) which is on the edge between thriller and sci-fi - e.g. An action movie with a computer virus bouncing off satellites to hack a moon mission could have little or no "fictional science".

James Bond in "Moonraker" 1979 fits this category.

Seems like there’s a little bit more to your Apple rant that just “I don’t like how Apple engineers stuff”.

I find the Covid origin stuff weird because it seems so obvious that a lab leak was a possibility. Politicising the lab leak hypothesis did a lot of damage to institutional trust.

Covid origins, vaccine harms and global warming are just the most obvious examples of politicised science causing problems. It’s basically irreversible once sides have chosen their respective beliefs to include in their dogma. Take this thread as an example: I comment on accuracy of climate models and someone compares me to Trump.
Actually I'm glad that I found this article. The first article I read about these pretty much said they were functional and had a 20 year life. I was ready to give my co-worker, who's Nephew is stationed in Japan, $50 to buy the collection and ship them back to the US.
Not the parent but The Forever War by Joe Haldemann is a classic. (As is Starship Troopers).

For something different, think "navel warfare in space", the Lost Fleet series from Jack Campbell dealt with relativistic effects in space, with regard to combat, and the difficulties of predicting where/when people were.

You are right to call this out. Tau are protective, and if you have the genetics, coffee will raise the risk of AD.

Oxidative stress is the fundamental issue causing Alzheimer's. So there are many causes with one result.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5562667/

"Oxidative stress participates in the development of AD by promoting Aβ deposition, tau hyperphosphorylation, and the subsequent loss of synapses and neurons. The relationship between oxidative stress and AD suggests that oxidative stress is an essential part of the pathological process, and antioxidants may be useful for AD treatment."
> Amsterdam were well on their way to becoming as car dependent as any other American city.

This claim gets trotted out quite often, but it is only valid if you are specifically referring to the development of Amsterdam’s bicycle infrastructure. Even during those years when Amsterdam saw a rise in car traffic, the city never stopped offering public transit of the sort that most Americans could only dream of. So, the average resident was not forced to own a car.
That's a sad news for the Vim community. Given that development was basically focused around Bram, it makes me wonder, what will happen with Vim now?

WIll someone step up and continue to develop Vim, or it will fade away and Neovim take its place?
Hard to say without more details, though it's certainly plausible.

There's other possibilities though. Like if the timing of other interventions is being delayed until the cardiologist is able to see the patient instead of deferring to a less specialized physician.
This is indeed a huge loss. I've used vim for over a decade now. Configuring and tinkering with it was and is always the first thing I do when I get a new machine. He's also a good person from the small amount of interaction I've had with him on github.
If there're over 4k die-hard players, as you said, a big portion of it will follow. While I have empathy with your situation, I wonder how many times more things have to go south for you people.

Build a good project and make sure you actually own it (have complete control over it).
Alternative answer: blackmail
I think a further nuance (if I'm understanding the author) is that a language you are likely to use starting from scratch is going to be more loved. While there is plenty of shell code out there, it is more common to write a shell script from scratch than it is to start a java project from scratch.
> How did Quark get the prime retail location on the promenade though?

Sisko asked Quark just before he left to remain where he was since the Cardassian occupation so there was some life on the promenade.

> The dirty secret is that Starfleet is actually a totalitarian military dictatorship, on the ground and in the air. That's how they got to take over the Palace of Fine Arts.

Starfleet is a paramilitary organization and Deep Space 9 is a military installation under their control (it has sufficient firepower to defend itself against many of the strongest warships), just like the starships - that's no secret nor is it dirty. There can be civilian elements on military bases. IRL there are civilians living within military areas in some countries - governed/commanded by the military.

But SF doesn't control the Federation, nor Earth or other civilian settlements. There is an episode where Sisko and Odo thwart the attempt of a rogue Starfleet admiral to get Earth under SF/his control.

Well, to put the above more compactly: my opinion is that FTL is a fantasy.

Not only does FTL ignore physics established since 1910, it is lazy to pretend that it's the same only faster: the truth of relativistic physics is far more complex, interesting and just plain weirder than that. If you're aiming at "sci-fi" not a horse opera in space, why not embrace that?

The intersection between the set of chronically online people who see this content and the set of people who actually vote is much smaller than you might think. Voter turnout is consistently very low among young people, despite how actively interested they may appear on sites like Reddit.

Most of this content also turns into preaching to the choir. They congregate in online communities where people already decided who they were going to vote for, so the online anger has little to no effect on the people who might actually vote for the candidate.

Interestingly, the most successful politicians in recent years have adopted the techniques of old-school internet trolls.

It goes like this:

1. Do or say something that's a bit edgy and controversial.
2. Pull out a lawn chair as the opposition attempts to stir up a shit storm.
3. Under no circumstances engage with the criticism directed at you, just be somewhere else when anything is coming your way. Never defend or explain anything you've said or done.
4. When the shitstorm is fading, GOTO 1 to ensure all focus remains on you, depriving the opposition of any opportunity to talk about what they want to do.
5. Win the election because your opposition looks completely unhinged and you look unfairly persecuted.

It's basically like watching Muhammad Ali in a boxing match. Always has the initiative somehow even when he's ducking punches left and right.

If you think this describes anyone in particular, you're probably right; but the point is this playbook has been used basically all over the world with an insane degree of success.

adding milk and sugar might change something about the effect of espresso. controlling for that would make the entire study much more complicated.

i'm more surprised about them not calling it simply (black) coffee. possibly because espresso preparation is quite defined versus various methods of how to brew coffee.
Superconductors will resist moving at any direction where the magnetic flux gets weaker, stronger, or changes direction. That's why they get described as "pinned".

Other diamagnets do that too, but in a decaying way that allows for movement. They usually rotate or move slowly sideways.

No other kind of magnetism show similar behavior. They either attract or repel all the way in.
Mythics design language is simultaneously old school and yet ironic:

- old school elements of wood, with metal accents like toggle switches. You can imagine this in Bakelite circa 1929.

- ironic in the use of curves and forms that echo Machine Age Futurism (think 1930s teardrop cars, stainless steel american diners etc). But instead of metals, done in wood.

It's an approach that embeds the computer, a fundamentally alien device, into a more domestic/cozy home environment. On that basis it works. But it makes me wonder what other design languages are possible, and, more fundamentally, whether the home environment itself has already changed to be more like the computer world than the other way around. Looking around my house for example I see some shiny white plastic objects that simply would not have existed if it were not for Apple using them in their designs 15 years ago. What is the standard of domestic beauty in design now? Is it wood, leather and gold - or brushed aluminum and reflective white plastic?

This is why I stopped using Facebook years ago. It's bad enough that recruiters will filter me from a job opportunity over my GitHub activity grid.

Pintrest is among the top blocked. It clearly doesn't have spam, but it commonly shows up because of it’s vast array of user content. For people not interested in Pinterest content, this is a very useful feature.

Technically DS9 never say they exist at all points in time. DS9 says that they don't experience linear time.

One way I thought you could interpret that is that the wormhole aliens in fact only exist when the wormhole is open - their existence is only in those blinks of reality that they perceive, and as a result to handle the universe they have a vast predictive ability that looks like future-knowledge.

They suggest mortality is lower during meetings because:

"the intensity of care provided during meeting dates is lower and that for high-risk patients with cardiovascular disease, the harms of this care may unexpectedly outweigh the benefits."

Not sure if they accounted for delayed surgeries in the study.
This is a good point. Did Kagi ever consider having a freemium tier that uses adverts to pay for the (search) content? I don't think it is a terrible idea if it helps Kagi to improve their paid search.
Most developers prefer to spend their time writing code instead of reading code. To make long running projects that people enjoy working on, we need to make it easier to add and modify functionality while minimizing how much you have to understand about the entire system.
They can, it's just that they're supposedly not associating the queries with you. Since Kagi isn't open source who knows what they're doing in practice.
this article has much to appreciate -- this kind of story content is often in "long form" as part of literature, symbolic art, poems or stories of the gods. The visitor to the arts has to go through some volume to pick out the parts for themselves. This article is on modern media (internet) with clear graphic design, is told starting with a popular media reference (horror even), and speaks in the "tour guide" / explainer voice. Therefore the presentation is more like a museum exhibit and less like experiencing a drama or dream yourself.

With that said, it has an uplifting and hopeful ending, and seems to be written in genuine good-will for the reader. Thanks for posting!

> Conversely, Judaism does not proselytise.

That is a later development. In the first millennium AD there were active attempts to export Judaism, the most famous result of which was the conversion of the Khazar kingdom to Judaism. And the very etymology of the word “proselytising” refers to Judaism making some inroads among other inhabitants of the Mediterranean.
So, it's better that a random physician does something now than waiting for a cardiologist doing the best thing too late?
I believe there is a development team actually in place but they probably have to decide the way forward now. I have little doubt it will continue.

> I would trust a bigger bank more than I would a smaller bank

I never understood this concept. Would you trust Amazon and Google more than a smaller provider? I trust big companies to still exist for the foreseeable future, but I don’t trust them to serve me, personally; they are known for disabling individual accounts for little or no reason and providing no recourse.

The bigger the company, the less incentive they have to keep any individual customer.
Who would want to host a website in such a way that

- also DNS updates don’t propagate fast enough to cope with you joining different Wi-Fi networks
