You're continuing to assume no cryptic spread. The IFR is low, and the overdispersed epidemiological dynamics mean that most lineages die out. This makes it impossible to exclude many (even ten or more) generations of cryptic human-to-human spread between that hypothetical infected lab worker and the market.

Even with advance warning, public health authorities in Western countries succeeded in tracing almost no cases back to the port of entry. I don't see why you'd expect the Chinese authorities to have succeeded at their much more difficult task.

What vets are selling is not the $100 dental cleaning people get. They do the procedure under general anesthesia and all the associated procedures brings the cost well over $1000. But the worst part is the huge risk to animal: something like 1% of cats die during cleaning under general anesthesia. This is a totally unacceptable risk to your pet for a cleaning. If it's actually for a serious dental condition, then you can weigh the risks. But it's pretty sad that vets push such a risky procedure.

This is part of the narrative (and by all accounts, definitely what it "looked like" happened) but I'm starting to warm up to the idea Musk was commissioned to eliminate Twitter given its inconvenience to established wealthy and international interests. It would be hella convenient and arguably be worth even a 44 billion price tag (which is almost nothing to a hodgepodge of governments and institutional investors) to get rid of Twitter.
25%, not 32%, as the survey covered only adults, who comprise <80% of the US population.

It's completely closed (not even source available) but there's unlicensed software implementations available from third parties. E.g. libmbe.

AMBE in most equipment was provided in a physical chip for protection however some firmware implementations existed in hardware from big players and they were reverse-engineered.

Most of the Chinese B-brand (AliExpress stuff) radios use this reverse-engineered software implementation. They're not licensed but a Chinese company pretends to license this on behalf of DVSI though it's totally illegal. The A-brands like hytera use the official one of course.

With the right materials you could use thermal solar panels to build a silent air conditioner just as easily as a heater with no moving parts, in theory. Here's an old video on the principles behind it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDPgGDCdAo4).
Yikes, thanks for letting us know! We were getting rate-limited by OpenAI, especially after hitting the front page(!), so sometimes the initial comments would load, but the replies wouldn't, killing the page.

Sincere question: my relatively non-aggressive-at-sales vet, whose office has beocome a bit more aggressive recently, said this month that my nearly 12 year old dog has had a tooth fracture for over a year - and it needs a $X,000 removal relatively soon, for which he would have to go under anaesthesia and stay the day.

Pup has been eating fine, and continues to eat fine, including relatively hard stuff (no bones or bully sticks but softer dental chews). He does have an accumulation of plaque on said tooth which indicates he favors the other side, and despite the hard pitch, I doubt the vet is lying about a fracture.

The literature online is very equivocal about whether tooth removal is needed and says some fractured teeth are fine and don't cause pain.

Any advice / information sources you trust on how to triage this situation?

> I think the real reason nobody does solar thermal is because it's just so much less practical to deal with pipes and pumps and heat reservoirs than wires and batteries. Also it is useless in the summer when you don't need heating.

I am not sure this is true for all use cases and locations. In Spain it is mandatory since 2006 to install solar thermal panels in new buildings [1], it simply preheats water, in this case this seems way simpler than any electrical installation and you already have an energy gain. Hot water is used all year round and Spain has a good amount of sunny days.

> I don't think besides 0 in namespace being the actual user in the actual system as a good convenience, that there is any "need" for pids per root-pid, and even if that happened it would save "root-pids".

What happens with filesystems though? I would assume the filesystem is using the root user namespace. Which means if you have two different UIDs and they map to the same UID in the root namespace, they get collapsed into one for file ownership/etc. That seems a rather major limitation.

> And I find it unlikely as of now that a system would reach the 16-bit limits of running more that 65000 applications on a single system

With 32-bit identifiers, if you make each level 16-bit, you only have room for two levels. What if you have need for a third?

Also, you have to design a mapping from however many levels you need to the 32-bit flat namespace. A mapping which works well for one use case might turn out to be a problematic limitation in another. With variable-length UIDs there is no mapping to bother with.
My guess is that "pain" has many varieties, experientially and otherwise. The problem probably isn't in identifying the absence or presence of pain, it's coming to terms with what the nature of it is for any given organism.

I get the appeal but there’s a reason commercial wind turbines are really big and located in optimal wind resources.

In short, the capacity factor of small wind turbines in the places most people will choose to live is terrible.

It may not be as satisfying but some combination of solar panels, batteries, and heat pumps (with the proviso that people in really cold climate either need to go ground based or have a backup) is going to work a hell of a lot better for anyone not living in the furious fifties.

> something like 1% of cats die during cleaning under general anesthesia

Pretty damning if true. Surely there are a wealth of sources that corroborate this figure?

Eta: also, it's important to know the early mortality rate of untreated animals versus those that do receive dental cleaning every year. Is it less than the claimed risk of the treatment itself?
I concur. You also had historical systems like the Four Phase, which split the CPU across 3 chips and the MP944, which used a small chipset. Not to mention that you can easily put a CPU onto a single chip nowadays by using a FPGA.

The interesting question (at least to me) is how simple a CPU could have been built using TTL in, say, 1970. How much could minicomputers have been simplified? The retro low-chip-count projects generally use a huge ROM to implement logic or microcode, which wouldn't have worked historically.

That aside, the 16-bit serial CPU is an interesting project. Serial computers don't get much attention these days, but are important historically. Not to mention that the 8086 is derived from the serial Datapoint 2200 processor via the 8008.

Everyone uses the same backend(s).

For GSM carriers, esims add a layer of complexity because they are apparently bound to a phone. As you probably know, SIM cards can generally be swapped in.

This makes provisioning more complicated, because roaming. I never bothered to understand how GSM addressing and routing works, but I'm assuming this requirement makes things even harder to deal with.
