> Dr Pittenger says it is now clear that covid-19 infections can trigger psychosis, fatigue and other neuro-psychiatric symptoms. A misbehaving immune system is thought to be the culprit. The idea that schizophrenia may, at least sometimes, likewise be an auto-immune disorder is also under investigation.

Until I got long covid(generally recovered now after 2 years), I couldn't comprehend this idea. I felt like I was actually going crazy. But then that lead me down a rabbit hole of reading about things like the microbiome and immune system which is a whole new domain yet to be formally explored. I highly recommend people read Ed Yong's book "I Contain Multitudes".

Post acute infection syndromes are a real thing and it is fascinating that we get to see science take on this topic in the spotlight right now. Especially Jeff Gordon and his work on the microbiome and Akiko Iwasaki and her work on long covid.

It makes you honestly question the idea of freewill. Good thing that Robert Sapolsky's new book is coming out next month on the topic!

The devil is in the details (which was the problem with the original terms). The original plan seemed reasonable at face value but when you dived into the details it was really problematic. The revised terms are transformatively better, but might seem similar just looking at them shallowly. The key bits are

1) It is no longer retroactive. Existing games on the market using unity can continue distributing without their business getting immediately impacted.

2) It's no longer per install, it's now "new people engaging with your game each month" and the numbers are now all self-reported. Originally Unity was going to calculate installs on their end in an opaque way.

3) You can choose to just use a revenue share arrangement instead of per install. Since it's the lower of the two you can effectively ignore whichever one isn't favorable to your business.
Seems like both the infection and the antibiotics could have an effect. You can't really count either out until further studies are performed.
I think the answer above still stands.

Put it in a shared vault which can be accessed by however many people require it. They access the shared vault via their own password manager account.
Which is how it works in Windows, if you follow Microsoft's own (admittedly confusing) guidelines. Every user has directories for both private and user-visible data, as well as for some half-thought-out feature called "roaming" that I've personally never seen an actual requirement for.

Storing .INI files in the .EXE's directory has been a no-no for many years, and nobody should be arguing for that. But the central registry concept makes even less sense. Use .INIs in your format of choice, and store them in the appropriate user-specific application data folder. Additionally, they should be created when the executable finds them missing, not by the installer.

The latter practice alone solves a multitude of problems, ranging from multiuser support ("Whaddya mean, install for everybody who uses the computer or just me? WTF?" -- your users) to the issue of requiring admin rights at installation time that are not really needed by the program itself.
It’s good to see these safety studies from the POV of “is it carcinogenic”, but I am also concerned whether it has the same metabolism/diabetes links as normal glucose sugar?

"Currently, recycling plastic is a bit of a lie -- very little of it is actually recycled."

Depends where you live and what you consider recycling. If you mean, making new plastics out of the old, than the challenge is, that there are many, many different plastics you cannot just melt in and reuse if mixed together. A annoying, but working solution here in germany is a mandated bottle bill. Meaning you pay 25 cent extra per bottle, and get it back, if you return that bottle into a machine: but this results in actual reusable plastics as they are all of the same kind.

And for the rest, the most pragmatic solution is burning it for energy. If you use filters, it is not so bad and it is recycling, but it is the same as burning fossil fuels, so not a good long term solution.

So are you trying to sell the ability to graph who has seen what? Because that's essentially what that scheme does. No more dumb pipes, you're handing over tons of business recod based metadata out to ISP's to inevitably monetize, which, oh, coincidentally, waives any expectation of privacy legally speaking between the endpoints given our current judicial attitude toward Third Party Doctrine.
In the UK, the police seem to have little trouble being violent without guns. I think it's the threat of that kind of violence that they use to e.g. jail people.

Some police officers do have guns, but they're a minority (and many of them in London refused to wield guns this week, in protest about a murder charge for a firearms officer who killed an unarmed man). As far as I can tell, non-police violence here also mostly doesn't involve guns. Knife crime seems to be more widespread.

Use 1password (or similar) so there is no master password?

You can have 2 trusted people be administrators of the 1P account. Then you create a shared vault for anyone who needs access to the master credentials and store them all in said shared vault. You can have multiple vaults with multiple different sets of credentials and access (Ex a vault for HR is going to have different creds and people than a vault for DevOps). Note: The list of administrators and the list of people with access to the shared vault doesn't need to be the same people.

If someone who's in the trust circle quits or gets fired, you have someone else remove their access (just like any other offboarding) and go change the applicable credentials.

As for insider threat, there isn't a lot you can do if you give someone access to the credentials. For the admin, that should be easy - certainly, you can find 2 people in an organization who can be trusted implicitly (even if one of them is required to be the CEO/founder). If you're worried that someone is going to go rogue, then don't give them access to the information in the first place.

There is some stuff that just doesn't need to be broadly shared...lets say master passwords for AWS accounts. Really very very very few people will ever need those - mostly for "Break glass in case of emergency" purposes, right? So your Director of DevOps has access and maybe one other person. If you can't trust that Director of DevOps to have those credentials.... well honestly your organization has bigger issues.
T-mobile says:

"If you are a streaming service provider click here[1], send us an email and we'll get back to you to begin the process. T-Mobile will review all submissions to ensure identification of video stream and technical requirements, including optimization for mobile viewing."

They do have a requirement that "Only lawful and licensed video content is eligible for the offering" And that you be capable of making the stream identifiable as video content and do adaptive bitrate streaming (target of 1.5 Mbps)

The only public documentation for service providers I found was in the consumer faq [2] under "I’m a streaming service provider – how do I learn more?"

It's quite probable that they won't engage with a home media server, because you're operating under fair use rather than an explicit license, or because there's too many individual home media servers and some home media servers serve media that's unlicensed and also not within the scope of fair user. But it doesn't hurt to ask and see what you get back.

Alternately, a paper from 2016 [3], suggests you could make your content available in a form that appears to be one of the supported services, and likely get mischaracterized as that service and have your data zero-rated as a result. Not sure if anyone is still running video over http in 2016, but it's worth a try. It should be apparent if it works, as when it does, T-Mobile will limit streaming bandwidth to 1.5 Mbps.

You are looking at a simplistic perspective.

Surveillance doesn't always run 24/7 for every device. The signal/noise ratio would be extremely low.

To keep a high ratio, it's selectively switched on for high interest targets.

There's no reason for a drone flying on my backyard to send any data to China. Their privacy protection is inexistent. You can ask it to be conceivably whatever horse shit you like, I don't care. I don't want any bytes sent there.
As much plastic as we dump into nature now, we increase the chance for a mutation of a microbe being able to digest it.

If that microbe manage to multiply and spread, plastic can start to rot, just like wood is doing now. On a long term basis, that might be a good thing, but in the short term it would be a catastrophy. We are using plastic as a long lasting material, often with no surface treatment. Imagine if wire insulation, waterproof encapsulation, gaskets and other important parts of our infrastructure starts to rapidly degrade!

That alone should be motivation for cleaning up and stop spreading plastic waste in nature.
> entirely reassuring

It's reassuring in the sense that some theoretical problem (costly installs) can be avoided.

Otherwise, not really. The big selling point with Unity was that you pay per seat, and that's that. You don't owe them anything beyond that particular fee, no money, no confidential information, nothing. The change of terms is a not-so-tacit admission that their business model does not work and that the whims of the MBA-types are going to dictate the future of the platform. Unreal Engine has basically the same revenue share type of deal (but no per-seat cost), but then its leadership has a proven track record in developing actual games.

> The net effect is that the current crop of near-completion Unity-based games may be completed and supported with the now current version.

Of course, in the short term nobody is going to switch engines mid-flight. However, in a few years time, when we ask ourselves "How did Unity die?" this change of terms is likely to be identified as the point of no return.

It's absolutely unreasonable to expect that, and the wrapper should stay. I don't have Maven installed anywhere, and i don't have Gradle on the global path, because i work on projects which require different versions of Gradle.

Saying that removing this would make the project more minimal seems deeply confused to me. Minimalism is not measured in the number of directory entries at the top level, but by the amount of stuff the user has to understand. Taking the wrappers out does not reduce that.

I love the idea of finding enzymes that break down plastics. I also like to imagine the post-apocalyptic Sci-Fi short story possibilities of accidentally releasing something that breaks down _all_ plastic!

Imagine my delight in reading this:

At the molecular level, PET46 is very similar to another enzyme, ferulic
acid esterase. This degrades the natural polymer lignin in plant cell walls
by breaking down lignin polymers to release sugars from woody plant parts.
Lignin and PET have many structural similarities, so the PET-degrading
enzymes found in nature may be important for composting wood in forest
soils, for example.

Now, join me in imagining the post-apocalyptic Sci-Fi short story possibilities of accidentally releasing something that breaks down all plastic _and_ all plants! I mean, until some of them finally adapt.

I have the systemd process start after docker.service, and most of my containers have a "depends_on" argument so they don't all try to boot at once. All of the containers also push logging to a Splunk instance, which adds 9 lines per container, which increases the file by 765 lines.

The systemic problem with Unity is not only that the leadership makes bad decisions on a whim. Apparently, they made these decisions despite explicit internal opposition from their developers. When a company's leadership ignores their internal expertise, the company starts to rot from the inside.

Re: root account password in a password manager vault. The problem with this from an enterprise-security perspective is that, once the password has been shared with somebody, it's difficult to prevent them from later using it in a way that's not authorized, or accidentally disclosing it to someone who shouldn't have it (e.g., by having their machine compromised). I suppose that a TOTP secret or FIDO/U2F dongle doesn't necessarily have this problem, though, so you could maybe rely on that rather than the password as the primary security factor.
