Worth noting this is not new or unique to SARS-Cov-2: There are a variety of communicable disease which--even if you survive--may leave impairments on your immune system.

A notable example is Measles, which attacks certain immune-system cells and may cause your body to lose or "forget" defenses it previously built up against other diseases.

Sudafed usage, probably a copy of the drivers license, your address, any phone number you give them, and how often you buy a drug the DEA considers a precursor to something really terrible.

Usually no one even looks at it (so why have it even?!?), but when they do it’s a potential intro to a full on Brazil situation.

Luckily the whole thing is generally considered a waste of time, so usually nothing comes of it. But why make yourself a target if you can avoid it?
Yeah, to fix it would mean giving the insurance back the money on whatever was wrong.

The whole system is a mess. I had a bill rejected by the insurance as a duplicate. No, but I could easily see why they thought it was--and they told me how it should be billed so it wouldn't be rejected. Call the lab, tell them what they did wrong in the billing. They resubmit unchanged. The insurance won't accept my statement that it's legit. Call the lab, simply offer to pay it at the negotiated rate (which is all I was after, the deductible wasn't met.) Round and round--finally the insurance rejects it as billed too late and the whole thing goes away.

This is obvious. CIA is the spy agency. Given that China was stonewalling any attempts to learn about what was going on in WIH, it seems natural for the spies to see what they can learn. They likely have access to many internal Chinese communications.

Also obviously, this isn’t an investigation on just “anything”. This is about the origin of a global pandemic with millions of lives lost and billions-if-not-trillions of dollars of economic impact.

And BTW again your biases show through with your use of the word “cursory”. On what basis do you conclude that the CIA investigation was cursory (or the DoE investigation, etc)? We don’t have access to those reports.

From what I heard there is literally a cap on the number of signals that can be serviced per cell, extra satellites will not expand potential signals per cell, so you literally run out of how many people can be connected in a given area. Bandwidth is already limited and becomes moreso as the cell gets crowded.

This is looking at changes over a scale of centuries, and the potentially irreversible effects of what we are doing right now.

> Had Earth system remained forced by 1988 conditions (350 ppm and 85%/50%/85% of tropical/temperate/boreal forest cover remaining), the simulations show that temperature over the global land surface would not have increased by more than an additional 0.6°C in the subsequent 800 years

> If climate and land system change can be halted at 450 ppm and forest cover retained at 60%/30%/60% of boreal/temperate/tropical natural cover, then the simulation indicates a mean temperature rise over land of 1.4°C by 2100 (in addition to 0.7°C between preindustrial time and 1988) and 1.9°C after 800 years as vegetation evolves in a warmer climate

The latter is an optimistic projection assuming we will do more to stop climate change, the paper goes further into the odds of a >3C increase.

To put that in context, a 1.5°C increase in average temperature is considered a doomsday scenario where wildfires and storms ravage the earth, killing over half of the global population.

If you want to sell pseudoephedrine, your org has to "self certify", keep a logbook purchasers have to sign, require ID, enforce the purchase limits, train employees, etc. But, the logbook doesn't go anywhere unless some investigation or audit prompts that. So, if you're a really determined cooker, you can still go to a bunch of different stores...though you're leaving a paper trail.

I'm also not sure the financial aspect is going to work. There's not many developed countries without proper fiber rollout and very poor countries likely can't support the high infrastructure cost. You're left after that with marginal use cases (boat, remote places...) which won't be enough either.

There's a reason why the comments are mentioning rural US, because it's a clear outlier among the developped world.

> The real question is why is Apple allowed to lie about providing meaningful protection against state actors

It's not like anyone has been doing any better. Mobile phones are embedded devices targeted to everyday consumers, basically toys. They've never been engineered for anything like meaningful security against even mildly sophisticated attacks. The industry simply doesn't care about this, e.g. most phone SoC's are still not protected against misbehavior by any of the included devices, each of which is running some unknown proprietary firmware. That's just par for the course in the embedded ecosystem.
Echoing the kind of climate change scenario 5 year old kids have seems kind of cruel the week thousands of people in Libya died of events that are exasperated by the climate crisis. People are already dying of climate related causes, like crop failures and natural distasters.

It’s very telling yes:

60 million people live in rural areas in the US, over 40 million of those already have broadband at home[1], and less than 2 million people subscribed to satellite internet before Starlink launched[2]. His projection of 20 million subscribers would have meant that literally every single rural individual who didn't already have broadband would sign up for Starlink within a couple years of being available. Okay, that's not entirely fair because Starlink does business in more than just the US, but still, that was an unrealistically aggressive projection even 7 years ago.

I think Starlink is doing great, but Musk's projections are notoriously bad, and there is no reason to defend them.

Yeah, another possibility might be an exchange where there is some time-fuzzing in the system, such as if every order gets a (provably) random hidden delay. This would discourage people trying to play around incidental timing issues in favor of bidding what they "really think is right."

I suppose users might try to avoid that by breaking up a buy/sell order into a bazillion tiny orders, but that could be curbed by transaction-costs.

I was under the impression that there are state-level databases in some states that actually track sales. I am likely incorrect, since a quick google doesn't find anything.
The article says:

> Boundary positions do not demarcate or predict singular threshold shifts in Earth system state. They are placed at a level where the available evidence suggests that further perturbation of the individual process could potentially lead to systemic planetary change by altering and fundamentally reshaping the dynamics and spatiotemporal patterns of geosphere-biosphere interactions and their feedbacks

Probably would need to read more to get a clear understanding of exactly what they mean and how they're defined, but it sounds like we're to an unstable place. Perhaps somewhat analogous to skating on thin ice: you may not have haven't broken through yet, but you're in a spot where a break could happen at any moment and from any movement.
Then states need to make laws of shared governance for the entire state, and the tax base of the state is used to create and pay for said standards creation.

Having hundreds of different hidden behind paywall standards for each municipality is not doing the population at large any favors.
>When you say "produced locally", do you mean on the client?

Sorry for the confusion. By “produced locally” I meant “produced on your DB server” as opposed to being an API call to a third party service such as OpenAI or HuggingFace.

(But, like... doing it remotely--on the database server as part of the query plan--frankly seems kind of crazy to me, as it is going to be so slow and add a massive CPU load to what should be an I/O workload. Makes for good demos I bet, but otherwise unusable in a database context.)

It seems like you’re worried about these workflows being on the Postgres server, which may lead to performance issues.

However, if performance becomes an issue, the functions can be executed on another server. In this approach, whether or not the functions run on the Postgres server, the end user gets access to a better developing experience as all the functions they need are available within SQL.

>...this frankly shouldn't be part of the same extension
We agree. These functions are already in another repository, and not part of the same extension. The repository is here: https://github.com/lanterndata/lantern_extras
As is the notion that it's mostly medical. That was a very unscrupulous "scientist"--what the study actually found was that the majority of bankruptcies included at least one recent medical bill. Of course that nuance didn't get into the popular press very well.

A while back I saw an analysis that showed 5% of bankruptcies were actually medical--and of those half were retirees who were overspending and the medical debt was simply the straw that broke the camel's back.

"Les normes sont d'application volontaire.
Toutefois, les normes peuvent être rendues d'application obligatoire par arrêté signé du ministre chargé de l'industrie et du ou des ministres intéressés.
Les normes rendues d'application obligatoire sont consultables gratuitement sur le site internet de l'Association française de normalisation."

If a law makes a norm mandatory then those norms must be free for eveyrone to read.
Doesn't it take a ton of the stuff though? I thought people stealing pallets of it was the only viable way to source enough of it. Seems like just having some inventory control is a sufficient deterrent.
I do believe most of it. At least in the current dev environment we are "trained" to give long estimates that are often too long or too short

I have had the experience of giving a long estimate and having a junior doing it in a third of the time

Because we prioritize the "correct" way, or forget some harmless shortcuts, or we just take advantage of it to avoid pressure and burnout

Yes, that's why it's clever.

The cumulative effect stacks up as they charge for every install & re-install of the app. That's the subtle shift of per install v. per user.

If the user has to reinstall the game due to the bug, the developer will have to cough up the fee.

If they have to reinstall because of hard-drive space hijinks, then the dev coughs up the fee.

If they get a new computer or a new device and install the game again...

I wonder how this compares to GAN based text-to-image models like StyleGAN-T. If I remember correctly, GAN models mainly shine at very fast inference, but the same may not be true for training. Also diffusion based models seem to have generally higher quality.
Its 4w/kg averaged over 10g of mass receiving the highest absorption, so if the 10g of tissue near the phone gets 0.04 watts its 4w/kg but only 0.04 joules per second requiring 100 seconds to receive 4 joules.

Cellphone don't put out 4 watts let alone 4 watts per kilogram of a human full human, they might hit 4 watts per kilogram if you are only looking at a small amount of flesh near the phone which is what SAR looks at.

Its like determining CPU performance by looking at perf per watt just because has a high perf per watt does not mean its fast or faster than a much larger CPU.

For instance dancing is around 5 wh/kg for your whole body more than actually getting hit with a tennis ball every second!
