While I've appreciated some of the author's articles in the past, I think the numbers in this one miss the mark quite a bit.

> the risk of dying from the screening exam was 1/660

> The usual rule of thumb is that one extra Sievert = 5% higher risk of dying from cancer, so a 30 mS dose increases death risk about one part in 660.

Well not quite. First of all, this assumes that exposure events are additive over a lifetime (rather than individual events being more damaging at higher doses). This does seem to be the case, though I'm curious if we really know.

More to the point, it's a 5% increase of chance of death from cancer. Combining 5% with 30mSv/1Sv, you get an extra 0.15% chance of dying of cancer indeed.

But the chance of dying of cancer in the U.S. is something like 17.5%, although that does increase (and then decrease) with advanced age. According to https://usafacts.org/articles/americans-causes-of-death-by-a... , something like 29% deaths in the 65-74 age group are cancer, while in the 75-84 year age group it drops again to 25%.

Regardless, this means if you figure out your lifetime chance of dying by cancer based on your current age, it's 30% at the most (in aggregate, obviously personal risk factors vary a lot from person to person).

A 0.15% increase in that is 0.045% additional chance of dying by cancer, or 1 in 2,222. Using the average mortality incidence of 17.5% its more like 1 in 3800. And for someone who's this concerned about dying of cancer and I assume limiting risk factors much more than the average citizen, perhaps it's a 1 in 5000 chance.

All in all you're much more likely to reduce your chance of death by cancer by much more than a CT will increase it, via a number of lifestyle changes: healthier eating, quitting alcohol, staying out of the sun.

Cavendish bananas. Lady fingers, sugar bananas and other varietal aren't going away. All Cavendish are clones. We had this before with Gros Michel.
There are enough people who still identify as Yugoslavs in some way that articles can be written about this as a thing. However, as one who speaks BCMS and Albanian and travels the region for months each year talking with random people about these things, my own experience is that is merely a subculture, not anything representative.

A lot of people going abroad in the 1990s, or as gastarbeiter before that, were coming from Bosnia, the Sanjak, or Kosovo and they understandably are loath to identify with a state they saw as dominated by the Serbs, who committed atrocities against them. For Albanian speakers, Yugoslavia was a Slav-dominated project in general. As for Croatia, significant opposition to Yugoslavia began already by the early 1970s and it only got worse after the 1991 war.
...how bioelectricity provides the blueprint for how our bodies are built—and how it could be the future of regenerative medicine.

wait... Did UN have rules over ccTLD? I thought ICANN is not under UN.
I feel like it's the exact opposite. We're drowning in data.

Consider: the Library of Congress has (literally) a copy of every work that has ever been in print in the U.S. The Internet Archive has archived much of the public internet. There are other resources like arXiv, Zenodo, etc. Many of these organizations are very conscientious about data retention and longevity.

Is there even more data that could be saved in principle? Of course. But the amount of data we're talking about is already so much dramatically larger than what we have about, say, the antiquities, that it seems like an absurd comparison. The problem in the future (excluding extinction-level events) will be wading through that data, which even in the handful of resources I've mentioned above will be so far beyond any single human's ability to understand that it's just unfathomable.
Similar with Czechoslovakia, although it is limited to older people who spent their formative years during that time.

Given the American identity is much older than either of these 2 examples and there aren't even these underlying nations like in e. g. Yugoslavia, I'd expect this effect to be way stronger and persistent in America.

I'm not sure what you want to hear. (but I know I want to hear the same thing)

Most software companies are terrible places to work. If I try to have a conversation with an interviewer and they shrug, I probably don't want to work there. And it turns out that's most companies.

What do we do? There's nothing to do. There's no alternative. It's just utterly depressing.
I have no idea how this helps explain that to you.
Many big data calculations are implemented in SQL. When running slowly, we have to optimize SQL, but we often encounter situations that we can do nothing about it.
No but she definitely would have hated it
Have you heard of yggdrasil then? It sounds like it would be a better match for your use candidate

yggdrasil is a "greynet". End-to-end encrypted, self-organizing via DHT, but no onion/garlic routing. Has interop capabilities with both Tor and I2P though, and some yggdrasil nodes are I2P- or Tor-only. A world-tree with roots (tunnels) going in all the spheres of existence (nets)

Hands out IPv6 addresses to its users. These addresses are generated automatically from the signature of your public key, so essentially impossible to spoof, and automatic authentication, plus end-to-end encryption. As if IPsec was pervasive and completely transparent
Everything is one of those things that are so obvious that it hurts it's not offered by default on operating systems (even Linux and Mac).

Probably more than Rome now, but even so at the time they were not quite powerful militarily. The Phoenician never succeeded in building an empire or a military power. Carthage was the "best" and even them they sucked much comparing to the Roman/Italians. Carthage itself didn't have a military but hired mercenaries. The Phoenicians are a bunch of rich merchants and they probably re-arranged themselves in the new empire.
I actually have a lot of firsthand experience with limewash on stucco. I don’t know if our lime guy is just screwing it up, but I have been very unimpressed. The claims of vibrancy and longevity just don’t pan out in my experience. A house project I worked on last year used limewash and it’s already falling off and fading. It may have been the contractors not applying it properly, but our lime guy himself said the issue was applying to a wall that the sun was hitting, so it dried too fast. It seems like a very fragile process to get everything right, which makes it a huge pain to use.
Not only nostalgia. Many families from former Yugoslavia don't fit in narrow national identities of new Balkan states. e.g. one parent from Serbia, the other from Croatia. Would be nice to also have some sort of an umbrella nationality like British or American.
First soviet microwaves appeared toward the very end of the USSR, they cost 3 monthly salaries and weighted 40 kg.
Thanks for searching on the internet for links to news stories. I should clarify that I was simply trying to add my personal experience into the discussion. I'm not denying there are published in main stream media. But can you personally verify all these reports? I don't think so. Will anyone research in chinese resources? I highly doubt too. So it's a different type of discussion. I'm sure some of the events are true but what are the incident rate / false positive or negatives. In my region I think the probability is extremely low. Other regions of China? I can't quantify.
I could've sworn that Musk mentioned that Starbase would be mainly relegated to prototyping after the FAA limited them to 5 launches/year out of there. I think it was in the presentation where they announced the plans to work with T-Mobile? I'll see if I can dig it up later.

I've been long advocating to get rid of the mobile-first approach and instead embrace a width-agnostic paradigm.

It is possible to ensure that a div or image doesn't stretch too much on desktop by setting the right max-width. It is possible to ensure that a tabular div doesn't overflow on mobile by setting the right width in a responsive @media query.

The problem is that mobile-first has become mobile-only, assuming that 80% will come from those devices and the others will figure out a way to cope with the eyesore. Real responsive design and craft of width is still possible (now like in 2010), but it takes time and testing - resources that companies are more than willing to save, since everybody in tech seems bent on pushing half-baked MVPs nowadays and call them products.

Novat Type Transformer Circuit Breaker from Cooper Power System
(The AGESA bootloader -- or ABL -- is in the AMD PSP.) In terms of our replacement for AGESA: the PSP boots to our first instruction, which is the pico host bootloader, phbl[0]. phbl then loads the actual operating system[1], which performs platform enablement as part of booting. (This is pretty involved, but to give you a flavor, see, e.g. initialization of the DXIO engine.[2])

That doesn't work. If I enter a 4-way roundabout going left, I will start off in the left lane. I will pass two exits and leave through the third. When I exit, someone from the second exit could be in the lane next to me, going to the road I came from. I have to yield.

When you exit from the inner lane you necessarily have to change lanes because the inner lane is completely inside the outer lane. You may not think of it as a lane change because you're going across the lane not merging into it, but it is a lane change and you have to pay attention.
One could also argue the ISO code is inappropriate though and UK would have been better (because the country that GB refers to is the United Kingdom, not just Great Britain).

When an IMEI is reported stolen carriers blacklist it. Either way you have to swap the IMEI, so I'm not seeing a difference.

Anyway, my estimation is that while some might, most stolen phones don't end up in China anyway. They end up on Craigslist in a city 4 miles away from the crime.

Ask HN: Nearsighted from Computer Work. Others?
I have approximately 10 hours of screen time per day. Typically, experts recommend following the 20/20/20 rule (try to look at something about 20 feet or approximately 6 meters away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes), but I never adhered to it. As a programmer, I suppose I’ll always have high screen time. I’m planning to have LASIK surgery in a few months. Has anyone else experienced this? Did you become nearsighted or manage to overcome it?
So what does this "simple function" look like?
Hell no, I personally would never stay after giving an ultimatum like that. If the backup offer is more, I'd just take it and leave. If it's the same, I'd leave if management is toxic. If it's less, I'd still leave if management is toxic but probably burn a few bridges along the way :)

It's whatever related to the domain name. The name Yugoslavia still existed, and if it was acceptable for them to take part in the World Cup it was acceptable enough for ICANN to keep the .yu domain.

"Entrapment" is actually quite narrow. IANAL, but my understanding is it requires showing that you wouldn't have done the illegal activity without the involvement of the police.

Harassing a person for months to buy weed qualifies; posing as a drug dealer and offering drugs to the people who pass by you, does not.
Since about the early-mid-20th Century, the dominant economic system has been a divergence from capitalism-as-originally described, specifically limiting the expression of the property rights of capital holders to enable goals of community well-being and sustainability as assessed by the community through, generally, representative democratic means to be addressed and systematically prioritized alongside capital.

Its often distinguished from capitalism-in-the-strict-sense as “the modern mixed economy” or something along those lines; its popularly still called capitalism, but to the extent that's accurate its already Capitalism 2.0, diverging from 1.0 in the exact direction you lay out.
This needs to be implemented world-wide. No more fighting for the little space in the overhead bin, no more returned packages, travel light would be the norm.

I've been looking at alternatives to Bandcamp, and while sadly Ampled has decided to shutter at the end of the year, https://resonate.coop is a possibility in terms of a new music "business model". For a more standard Bandcamp-like model, https://artcore.com is looking interesting too (I can declare a connection with Artcore as it was created and is run by an ex colleague of mine).

This is especially true when heating soups or similar things.

1x120 seconds means it's completely cold in the middle, but molten lava at the sides and even the dish is too hot to touch.

>Because we (the USA) are spending most of our money on the insane military complex there is little extra public funding for actually beneficial R&D

This simply isn't true at all. The US doesn't spend that much money on the military compared to other countries. Go look at federal expenditures; most are for entitlements: social security, medicare, etc.

As a percentage of GDP, US expenditure on the military is nothing unusual, and even a little low compared to many countries like Israel, Russia, probably Saudi Arabia, etc. It only seems huge because the US is huge, and has an enormous GDP, so of course it can afford to spend a lot more than a country like Italy for instance.

As the sibling comment said, look at how much the US spends for healthcare (not just federal expenditures, but total spent in the economy), and then ask why the US gets so little for its money there.

The problem in the US isn't spending money, it's how the money is spent and where it goes. Most of it seems to go into a black hole. Just look at how expensive it is to build anything.

> Miss me with the bullshit "AI drivers will usher in a new era of road safety", you can trap an AV with a fucking ring of salt on the road if you're clever about how it's arranged. :P

How many people die when you do that? An AV stopping cause it encounters a weird situation is failing safe, and it is the correct thing for it to do. And yeah, they normally stop if you maliciously attack them. But human drivers also stop if you blow out their tires, or hit the driver with a well aimed rock. Car safety is not judged on malicious attacks, we are not talking about autonomous tanks.

A title which fails to lead to any understanding is almost as misleading as one which leads to the wrong understanding.

With no effort no, that's why the domain name ;)

The great inside (for me) of the comprehensive input theory is the idea of trying extensive reading first: focus on the message, don't look up words, avoid interruptions, be ok not understanding everything, keep at it for a good while.

Then you can do a "second pass" with a stronger focus on language and new words to really drive it home, but the first extensive pass is important, and yes, a bit more effortless (if you find the right resources, and depending on level and language).

The original theory made more controversial claims that have been heavily criticized and they go a bit against the experience of many learners, name that you can only learn when you read and listen.

Wonder why he didn't mention the correct growth factor for the geometric series,
the golden ratio 1.618f.

It's only not used when shift by 1 was so much cheaper than float mult.

llvm's libc++ uses this grow logic instead:

if (actual > 30)
actual = ((actual & ~15) == actual) ? (actual + 15)
: ((actual + 15) & ~15) - 1;

which is actually closer to the metal, allocating a new page when needed.

"Text editing speed" is my per peeve in this field.

If your productivity is mostly limited by your typing speed you're either deluded or the greatest 1000x coder in the world.

I spend most of my time thinking and slowly prototyping the issue. It's not like I have the code 100% ready and my mind and just need to type it out as fast as possible and it'll Just Work after that.

And if it's speed of generating code you want, you can use templates in IDEs for it instead of going ":as12#:asd" in vim. Or use Copilot or a similar system to generate the rough outline and finish it up yourself.
