The prevalence of strong earthquakes across large parts of the US explains almost all of it. It is very difficult and expensive to engineer a building with structural masonry that can survive magnitude 7-8+ earthquakes, and the building code requires it in many places (M 8.5 where I live). They used to build a lot of masonry buildings in the US just like Europe using the same techniques but they stopped doing it after they were repeatedly flattened in earthquakes.

Strong earthquakes mean you can only really build with wood or steel frames, so that is what they build with. Steel framed construction is significantly more expensive to buy, build, and maintain, so it isn’t commonly used in houses since they don’t need the extra strength.

You don’t need masonry to be fire resistant. Large brush fires would drop burning embers all over your house when I lived in the southwestern US, but the ubiquitous stucco-and-tile exteriors were largely unaffected.

The point of scientific inquiry is to make "claims" into "facts" by finding "evidence". We have a "claim", that breaking windows (always) "on the whole is negative". However, there is no "evidence" to be found. Thus, it is not a "fact". Modern societies are very complicated to just referring to "common sense" is not enough.

It's a reaction to unjust laws, for-profit prison systems, lack of police accountability, and high rates of recidivism from not treating the cause of lots of crime.
L-theanine and/or magnesium can be a godsend for social anxiety.
The US already have one of the highest incarceration rates in the world so it seems like that doesn't work.
This is a trope but one poorly founded in fact. For example, Chesa Boudin was recalled in SF for his supposed unwillingness to prosecute, but in fact conducted sting operations to target exactly this sort of organized crime:

Guess who declined to help with the logistics of this operation? Surprise, SFPD:

It's extremely easy for cops to do nothing and then blame the prosecutor when people complain, giving themselves significant leverage over the political process with the headache of electoral accountability. There are a lot of bent cops to go round.

they don't occur in amdgpu-pro proprietary userland, but AMD apparently runs that on an internal release cycle and doesn't make the current repo or build available to the public. And AMD just historically hasn't cared enough about the open userland to support that even in the officially-supported configurations.

I'll also add to GP by saying that the windows support is all of about 2 weeks old at this point and it's also the first time that consumer cards (as opposed to the CDNA compute cards and the workstation-branded Radeon Pro cards) have had official support. Not that that is a guarantee it'll actually run with AMD though, especially on the open-source userland.
We didn't have "help" growing up but when there was a dinner party, there was still the idea that you had the dining room and that all the food prep/cleanup happened out of sight in a different room. You certainly didn't have mingling of guests and food prep/delivery.

This wasn't really upper class but it was influenced by British norms, albeit in the US, even if there weren't servants involved.
Surely what's key to enabling such occurrences is using some form of communications to co-ordinate the participants? Whether or not the event is live-streamed seems, to me at least, very secondary. Happy to be corrected if there's some aspect I'm ignorant of but the money is in the goods, the participants are not doing pay-per-view on the video stream.

I guess there's an argument that live streams encourages others ? Well if that's significant it's not the "live" bit that matters, it's the ability to make a video of the event available to those who are interested relatively soon after the event, good luck putting a cap on that unless your name is Xi.
I'm aware of the surrounding arguments, I promise; my remark was that I doubted Linux would like to ship a large mass of code with any additional encumberments even if it didn't somehow fail the GPL compatible test. (I'm aware that this is an impossible condition barring court precedent that ignores the definition of the constraint.)
You can connect the monitor directly to your home assistant. Many people do this and use ESPHome with the AirGradient configuration file [1].

They are using a spoken word to prime the subject, so the title is highly misleading:

In visual search experiments, participants typically hear a word and find the matching item among an array of object images. Crucially, the other objects in the array can be manipulated to resemble the target item visually or linguistically. For example, when asked to find a beaker among other objects, participants look more at objects whose names overlap (e.g., beetle) or rhyme (e.g., speaker) with the target word than at unrelated objects (e.g., carriage)
Something that stuck out to me during my time in college business courses is the fact that many teachers are pushing the idea of a manager, director, or other executive roles, into how to understand and allocate resources. One of the resources is humans, either as employees or, in other moments, the users. While clients and investors are more or less seen as another team or "entity"(eg, partner company) that facilitates the use or funding of the project. Just my two cents on what I have seen being thought to the next generation. I don't know how to feel about this. I am interested in others' opinions on this.
Almost certainly not in any useful fashion that doesn't duplicate data versus old snapshots.

ZFS really deeply assumes you're not gonna be rewriting history for a bunch of features, and you'd have written a good chunk of a new filesystem to reimplement everything without those assumptions.

SK Hynix is an OEM supplier for a bunch of brands, and seems to have good ratings across several different e-tailers.

As for anecdata, I chew through SSDs due to high disk I/O loads from running continuous integration test suites for PhotoStructure on a bunch of different test rigs. I've had several WD and Samsung SSDs fail, but have yet to kill one of my 10+ SK Hynix sticks.

The best solution, of course, is to have automated backups in place, so drive failure is only a minor inconvenience, not a tragedy.
Layer 7 gear has also been pretty irrelevant for a long time and not really something an ISP wants to waste money on when all it needs to do is deliver L3 fast and cheap. First payload encryption, then protocol encryption like the aforementioned ESNI or QUIC, and now DNS encryption. Even if you invest in it how much good is it going to do? Most ISPs have boxes that can handle volumetric attacks and the minimum required logging for legal compliance.
obesity is common elsewhere too. not just an American problem; it is even common in Nigeria now. also even people with normal BMI can still have a lot of abdominal fat, as sometimes seen in south and east Asia.

As the article describes, most star's magnetic field is rather steak. For example, the sun's magnetic field is only double the strength of Earth's. We have definitely built much stronger ones.

While it is not unusual for stellar objects to be magnetic, these are usually neutron stars. It is interesting to find something like this.

Sort of, it's common to mount metal roofs on wood. Leaves, pine cones, pine needles, and even just tree dandruf/pollen/cottonwood strands tend to collect in corners, in gutters, and any other ledges. Even an ounce can be enough to start a fire and embers from major fires can easily go a mile. So even a metal roof isn't good protection unless you remove anything that can ignite from anywhere near wood. Embers don't typically light asphalt shingles ... unless the fire gets under it on a gutter or similar.

I think yes from the article? The whole point of this therapy is to eliminate latent HIV from dormant cells that traditional small molecule retroviral therapy can't access.

> CRISPR does the cutting only, and you rely on cell repair mechanisms to mend the parts together again

But in this case, all we need is the cutting right because we don't care if the HIV survives the interaction.

Absolutely this is possible! Such systems are called ‘proto-writing’ [0], and formed the precursor to almost every writing system known today (with the exception of ones such as Hangeul and Cherokee, which were basically created from scratch).

also, metabolism and genes play a role, the latter which determines the former. people with good genes can increase metabolism to keep weight the same despite eating a lot more than needed, without becoming obese.
In Colorado metal roofs are relatively common, typically there's little dams near the gutter to keep large amounts of snow/ice from sliding down and hurting people/property. Even just something that's 2"x2" per panel seems to really help.

Chat GPT maybe a stochastic parrot(or a lobotomized n-gram model on steroids). But its damn good at understanding and explaining the basics of concepts in programming. I now use it frequently. Here is a old(ish) example. Understanding AsyncIO.

Even though I don't get the the most accurate answers from ChatGPT it provides very good direction. Like try googling for "python asyncio futures integrating with callback-based libraries"; I got only the Python API Doc result that was really relevant/good. Now look at ChatGPT: https://chat.openai.com/share/e8ad1d40-56f0-494e-96b9-63ae95e155bb the query is:

"

> Use a Future when you're dealing with lower-level code, especially when integrating with callback-based libraries or systems.

Can you explain with an example from the Task class's source code or with an example?
"

Several useful blog posts(the first link is broken in teh ChatGPT link but try googling for just the Path in the URL and you get to https://lwn.net/Articles/692254/ page, which is great!).

Bard just falls flat: https://g.co/bard/share/0deaad2e3817

Another example is where I ask for tutorials/videos explaining AsyncIO and there were several quality results like: https://snarky.ca/how-the-heck-does-async-await-work-in-python-3-5/ and of course David Beazley. Google just spams you with ONLY video results. If you remove the term "video" the results are better. But since the latter is a more basic query I expect google to be able to do reasonably. Bard for what ever reason refuses(https://g.co/bard/share/79c0bc347c99).

Also Google has plenty of very distracting SEO content interspersed with useful results.

Bing says download Edge to use the Chat Bot. Yeah right...

I am paying 20$ per month for ChatGPT Premium. But it does not seem Google/Bing are options I would ever pay for not because I expect them to be free but because they are not nearly as dev friendly as ChatGPT.

I have tons of more examples like this.

That wider society sees opinions like - that you are mortal, furthermore, you are only alive for the time being, so make sure not to undervalue the richness of life! - as synonymous with nihilism, has always been a little bit amusing for me. To me, strictly speaking, something like this is like the exact opposite of nihilism, possibly even the most non-nihilistic statement I can think of :) [0]

[0] I mean, when I consider the whole possible space of questions I could ask about life, and the answers that I could arrive at just sitting in my armchair, I think it's quite a rare thing to be comforted in knowing I can easily know in my bones that the answer is correct: that the time to start living is TODAY!
Yes a new DA40NG is around $600k, as is a new Cessna 172. A new DA62 is well into $1.5m with the options you'd want if spending that kind of money, and a 2-year wait last I heard.

Meanwhile you could build something like a Velocity V-Twin well-equipped for under half a million. Paying for certified lawyering is expensive.

There are ways of writing Spring without annotations (or XML config): https://blog.frankel.ch/annotation-free-spring/

High IQ seems to bring out arrogance in people. They are always smarter and know better than you. They start to believe that since they are tops in one domain they can be the best at everything. It's impossible to be good at everything. Working with one person like this is a pain. Now imagine everyone you work with having the same attitude. The work output will be less than ideal since every one will be an expert at everything. Nothing will get done.

Read about Robert McNamara the secretary of defense during a great part of the Vietnam war. By all accounts he was a genius. Yet, he could not manage the war. He was an outstanding numbers man by any measure. His expertise did not carry to managing a war. He is just one example.
Yup, over winter (just at the end of that here, now) we've been continuing to clear a larger break around the abodes, a few very large bonfires over the past couple of months, but ultimately if a fire is heading towards us we're mostly at the mercy of climate & localised weather events.

Underground is appealing, but radon and costs (water diversion, load-bearing roof strength, etc) have put me off that idea. I should revisit. We're starting to plant out more deciduous trees as our break zone extends - local Australian natives (eucalypts, cypress) burn like tar barrels. Similarly contending with -6 through 45 celsius.

Welcome to the digital age, where a laptop, a good internet connection, and a sprinkle of creativity can be the stepping stones to immense wealth. The past few years have witnessed an unprecedented online business boom. From solopreneurs running dropshipping businesses out of their living rooms, to influencers turning every Instagram post into dollar signs, and savvy investors making bank from crypto – the virtual landscape is teeming with money-making opportunities.

Now, you might be thinking: "The money's flowing. I've hit the jackpot! Why worry about what comes next?" Well, here's a little reality check. Earning money online might feel like hitting the high notes in a rock song – exhilarating, thrilling, and downright addictive. But it's not just about making money; it's about making that money work for you in return. And that, my friend, is where the real magic happens.

Not many viruses can stay dormant. They need to be adapted for that. A classic example is the herpes virus, that has special proteins that regulate its expression.

"Approximately 9" participants seems surprisingly low. Although to be honest, if I were infected with HIV and on HAART, I think I would find it hard to justify to myself an experimental gene therapy when HAART is already pretty darn effective.

But maybe I would... my understanding is the impact on life expectancy is still there once you get older. My guess is the constraint is more regulatory/clinical than lack of demand.
