So you don't have a solid evidence that you can share and instead relying on "They wouldn't pick that as first major target if it wasn't " as some sort of evidence that you felt is enough to repeat the claim without even mentioning that there is no evidence available?

I don't think you are being honest here.
I don't think I said that at all. I disagree with whatever it was you said to the effect that I believe laws likely currenty have the general anticipated and sometimes also measured quantities of heavy metals and other toxins that regulation built-in to the laws themselves in a sort of dual-chicken-egg type deal. I agree with you that the government just can't let the "regulate to the point of the people's starvation from overregulation conducted by a fundamentally incompetent govermment" happen. Just cuz I'm a dreamer doesn't mean I'm dreaming when it comes to RealPolitik.

I'm just saying that, there needs to be more buy-in from industries everywhere to self-police and just do the right fucking thing more often that not and almost always if even nominally possible. Giving companies loopholes and allowing other retarded parlor games in corporate governance and whatever the hell else is done in and by large corporations that ends up affecting us all in the end always. And its disproportionate, they often get off with the golden loot and we all have to hold the bag and split the post-mortem costs
I'm just an armchair expert.

I think it's clear - what was done before is not working (including 2005 Israeli disengagement from Gaza, humanitarian aid and donations). It's clear that Hamas are dark age scum that need to be dealt with force. It's also clear that most of the population of Gaza supports Hamas, and that Hamas will also will use them as body-shields.

Now, I was born in a 3rd world country and had to deal with a lot of scum. You can't have a conversation with people like those: any concessions you make - will be considered as a weakness and you will be pushed even more.

I don't support Israel in what they do, but I don't see any other options I would choose if I was them.
At some point I realized that it took me a lot less time to write gigantic Twitter threads than a blog post half that size. Of course my own expectations of quality are quite higher for a post on my blog than for a Twitter thread that will be buried by time. But apart from that the big difference was my inability to edit tweets already sent. Now for a few years it's been different since it is possible to prepare multiple tweets at a time, but it's still not as a single big box with text you can freely and easily edit, but the format (the requirement to cut the text in small pieces) still plays a role in the process I think.

I was toying with the idea of making an text editor that would work in the same way, append-only by limited size chunks, just for proficiency purpose, but never had time.

This project seems to be in the same vein. Thanks for sharing!

Fellow Alamedan here, same. I was surprised it was across the Bay.
Idk, if your aim is to find the "best talent", then what's the chance that they stumble along and you treat them like shit?

That's what's going to happen when you say "out of this other group, this 99% of people who I didn't want anyway, many of the Google Voice people were fraudsters".

Same thing for asking people to reverse a linked list on a whiteboard, or getting them to re-do their résumé, but in your HTML form instead of just emailing you their pdf. If you do ever get your dream candidate, you've pissed them off.

... which reminds me of an experiment I keep meaning to run:

Can I do a quick wifi survey (somewhere) and then replicate the SSIDs and channels in a completely different location and fool one of these SSID mapping functions ?

What are these functions scanning for to perform the geolocation other than SSID and frequency and MAC addresses ? Relative or triangulated signal strength ?
Michigan is pretty safe. We get tornados but that's about it. Not much poisonous or dangerous wildlife besides bears - just stay out of the wilderness.

Not to mention a huge supply of fresh water.
Just to be pedantic, they are driven by a pwm. But the frequency is orders of magnitude higher than 60Hz
im reading a book on quaternions by vince jones at the moment that basically says we are using quaternions now because they "just happen" to encode an axis-angle rotation in their algebra.

thats it! theres no more magic than that.

just like complex numbers encode a rotation in 2d due to the way the algebra is structured.

olinde rodrigues wrote about axis-angle rotations before hamilton discovered quaternions, and i think euler and gauss may have been involved too. anyway, its a fascinating story about the meeting of algebra and geometry.
> > Hamas is a cancer on the Palestinian people.
>
> You are seeing a cause, I'm seeing a symptom.

Nonsense.

There were two major Palestinian terrorist organizations. The PLO was the older and back in the day the more violent of the two.

It was able to get over its aggression and come to a peace settlement with Israel who also put everything behind it.

The Hamas blew up busses, cafes etc. Killed MANY civilians in suicide bombings and destroyed that peace. They were always an evil fanatical organization that doesn't care about their own peoples well being in favor of an extremist insane goal.

> > Killing civilians while aiming at the Hamas is never "right".
>
> Not only is it not right: it strengthens Hamas and will result in more anti-Israel sentiment in the rest of the world. "Look at what you made me do" doesn't work on that level.

On that I agree. I think Israel should better communicate how it is trying to avoid civilian casualties in this process. But yes, this is just terrible.

> But for that to happen Israel too will need to make concessions and as long as both sides only think in terms of violence this will simply not stop.

100%. That's why I'm thankful for Biden. He was blamed for being too much "pro Israel" by idiots who don't understand his savvy. He was really hated in Israel who mostly loved Trump up until 3 weeks ago. This flipped overnight. Now he has deep control over the government and can use it both for humane aid and to guide the exit plan after. He understands the nuances deeply and is navigating them very well.

It's still a pretty hard task. Eliminating the Hamas is hard. Eliminating the idea of the Hamas is impossible. Making it unpopular is a difficult but probably attainable goal.
I went in expecting an odd explanation about how threads are inherently evil. Was surprised to see a speed comparison that largely confirmed that creating threads is the slowest option. And mostly delighted to see the admission that even thread creation is not hugely problematic.

> Good. And once it makes the trip to Mars and lands successfully, with 100t of payload, then I will accept it as an argument.

This guy is trolling. Think if Kennedy said the same about funding the Apollo program only after computers were 50 times smaller and we had solved the F1 vibration problems, among the thousand other ones.

Blinded by wanting to feel right in an argument to the point of proving themselves wrong. It's a bit dark to be on the hopeless side doing that though. Even if it proves hope absolutely prevails here.
You're right about that. I add whatever vegetables and greens and fruit we have excess of, things from our farm share that my family doesn't like, and some things I buy for myself (beets, mainly). I add some olive oil, but am really trying to follow my doctor's advice about treating GERD and not have too much fat (I'm not opposed, otherwise, and would be thoroughly omnivorous if I didn't have this acid reflux. I've messed around with fasting but aside from occasional skipped meals and ending eating at least three hours before sleep I don't do that anymore).

This is a lot of bulk and water, so I can eat for a half-hour and feel full and hydrated for hours, but I do get hungry in the evenings when it's best I don't eat too much.

I could benefit from losing 10-20 pounds, but I'm holding steady eating like this, so I'm probably getting those 2,000 - 2,500 calories a day (I'm much less physically active than I used to be). Using smaller bowls, not snacking, and making meals more of a ritual rather than an indulgence might be helpful in reducing total consumption, slowly rather than precipitously.
I do like the taste of these one-pot sprout-based meals, as it's a way to exercise control over my environment. That search for control may well be part of the problem.
From my limited understanding is that Coroutines can suspend themselves (unless you use some dispatcher I guess), while Threads you have to invoke suspend(). Right? Thus comparing the two of them is insane.
In this case it's relatively benign; the worst result is that they'll have to create a (free) gmail account to forward to their domain. It's annoying and stupid, bit in the grand scheme of things, acceptable.

But in other cases the results are much more severe.

I got vaccinated for Covid. But I couldn't get a "Covid passport" because I didn't have the right government account and couldn't get one as I didn't have eligible housing. I literally had the "proof of vaccinations", but turns out that doesn't count as "proof". Great. You know what sucks more than a Covid lockdown? One where you see everyone else go out and have fun and you're allowed to do fuck all.
It sounds cool but I don't think it would change much practically. I have hypertension and a BP monitor is cheap and easy to buy and use. We have plenty of data on how a measurement taken at rest correlates with CVD risk.

I think the big advantage of watch-based health monitors is that they can find problems in people that don't already know they have the problem.

You already know you have hypertension so you monitor your blood pressure, many people don't know they have it.

The same is true of non-invasive glucose monitoring if that becomes viable to add to smart watches -- you may still need to wear a continuous glucose monitor if you have diabetes to monitor your blood sugar, but the watch may be a good early warning that you have a problem.
You're correct, I did my math wrong. It's more like $3/week.
I can probably find the Israeli paper article from the first day of the war but you said you won't believe it anyway. So what's the point?

What evidence do you have that the Israeli intelligence was wrong in this case?

Great project
I kind of agree, architecture does seem to matter in broad strokes but neuron-local learning mechanics will take it from there and the rest is up to the dataset.
seL4 has a formal correctness prof that was developed by NICTA. The project started in 2006 and the formal proof and artifact was submitted in 2009. The elements of the implementation and resulting qualities present during run time are well defined but are limited to exactly those properties the project chose, like lack of dead and livelocks, arithmetic based exceptions, and buffer overruns.

L4 is less a simplified kernel and more of a microkernel, but it is fully general purpose.

One of the neat things they did was transport memory/resource management to userland and maintain a strict capabilities scheme for ensuring correctness. The other was the cost estimate they claim, which was something like a 60% cost saving for doing the formally verified programming compared to standard ‘high assurance’ programming.

It was a cool project but is not often used to support further pushes into more general systems level applicability of ‘theorem proving’ based programming languages.

When you have the baseband source code, you can remove the part that allows the host to read the EEPROM MAC address. Replace it with a random number generated on each request.

Then you don't have to care what some daemon does with that random number.

Instead of worrying about handling these unique identifiers, solve the problem at its source: get rid of the unique identifier. Much more reliable solution. The baseband firmware is the lowest level of software at which this fix can be made (everything below it is hardware). If you fix it at some higher level you can never be sure the fix hasn't been circumvented.
The effect will be marginal; it will just create a huge administrative bonanza, and the number of times where it will be used (i.e. software devs being "disbarred") will be few enough that it won't matter much in practice.
I assume some part of the "focal line" aspect changes that calculation.
Crippling boredom
As are many present day Jews both inside and outside of Israel. And not all of those are of the same plumage either, there are moderate anti-Zionist Jews as well as Ultra-Orthodox anti-Zionist Jews. It's all pretty confusing, from what I understand it has to do with different opinions on how the state of Israel came into being for the latter.
I see this "bring back Brendan Eich as Mozilla's CEO" from time to time. His tenure as Mozilla's CEO was just 11 days. Did he achieved something great in his 11 days of service to warrant this sentiment? I would at least understand if it's "bring back Brendan Eich as Mozilla's CTO" given his years of tenure as Mozilla's CTO.
I agree that having a continuous measurement is more powerful, but one confounding factor is the location of the pressure measurement. If the measurement location goes up or down relative to your heart then that produces an error or offset in the measurement due to the weight of your blood. If you correct for this (and perhaps accelerations etc) with other measurements, then you can have a blood pressure measurement that is much less sensitive to physical motion. If you can estimate the pressures in the heart then you can make good estimates about many other nominal pressures elsewhere in the body.
It seems everyone in this thread is forgetting humans only live 100 years.

If an event happens every 250 years on average - thats 10 generations of humans.

There are stories told by old Indigenous peoples in Canada and the Western USA about the Cascadia Fault which will wreck the PNW west of Interstate 5, estimated to happen every 500 years, last happened in 1700s. But they are just that - vague stories. Who is listening to them?

If 10 generations of a family can live in one spot for 250 years with no issues - it might be pretty hard to convince them they have to leave.

Question: An earthquake can be dangerous because it is long lasting or because it is short and especially violent. So my question is, are earthquakes usually a consistent intensity? Or can they be moderate intensity for 45 seconds and then flatten me with a pulse that makes me experience 3x my body weight?
Well, it usually beats homelessness or rent slavery.

If you can pass a message from the future, you could pretty easily game the stock market no? Even if it's just an equation you could pick a volatile stock and just send a + result or a negative result and that would determine whether you bought or shorted.

Example math:

Wheat seeds ($7/5-lb) * (5-lb/2260g) * 204g = $0.63

You're right; the 718g or ~3.5c (after measuring with the scale I just use 1/2 cup scoops now) is about a week's worth of "seed base" for my daily meals. I make a big bowl in the morning and eat it throughout the day, scooping into a smaller bowl.
Covering doesn’t do too much (in the moment) to stop a building coming down, but it def helps stop heavy objects from concussing or worse. For those in the Bay Area, Cal academy of sciences has a nifty simulator exhibit. For everyone else, just watch a few YouTube videos of how violently and abruptly everything not bolted down becomes a projectile.

It’s been so long since we’ve had strong seismic activity in the Bay Area that I’d wager most that have moved here in past two decades (hi!) don’t have all their bookshelves/etc bolted to the wall, breakables secured with quake-hold, shoes under bed, etc… not to mention proper supplies for significant infrastructure damage. I know I caught myself being complacent earlier this year after I reorganized all of our stemware and whisky/etc to a glass cabinet next one of our two exit paths. It would have been an a guaranteed 20-30 lbs of glass shards thoroughly blocking that path. But hey, I’ll admit I have cinema-induced-paranoia about two things: 1) being trapped barefoot with glass covered floors, and 2) potential for velociraptor ingress.

Likely the only workable solution is a single state solution with some special protections for the Jewish people. Maybe a federation of some sorts. This is not going to happen in this generation. Given the demographics of the region I'm not sure it'll ever happen. Unfortunately the future looks bleak, more so for the Arabs, but really for everyone.

Just word salad basically
When people are asking for evidence. They are asking about hard evidence that prove the claim. The claim here that it was bombed because it contains hamas offices used for military purposes and this is why isreal bombed. Well isreal by your say have some evidence that it was the case. Did they provide this evidence?

The evidence here is not a press release of isreali government/military saying that they destroyed it because it was being used by hamas for military purposes. They can say whatever they want and you can do, but without providing evidence this becomes a lie.

Note that I am here talking about very specific case and claim. If you want to say hamas lie too that's fine but completely irrelevant in our context here.

We are talking about this specific claim and this specific claims because I don't want this to go in general direction.

And the burden of proof is on you not you. You claimed something and you should provide the evidence. Don't try to tweak things by redirecting the question
The applicant is actually three people involved in a scam. One is an US person that can provide valid US SSN or other magic numbers, but otherwise doesn't know first thing about anything. Second is the person running the scam, located anywhere. Third is a person from low-cost country that's skilled enough to pass the interview pretending to be the first person, who might also be responsible for doing the actual job such the interviews succeed. The fat US salary is split between the three parties.

This is actually the case of a thing you mentioned, just sadly in reverse. A phone number may indeed not identify a single person. It may represent three unrelated individuals at the same time.

FWIW, I'm 100% with you on your list. Even if it's only 1% of false positives, it's a massive number of people at global scale, and frankly also a big percentage. Outside of tech, hardly anyone is allowed this kind of error rate.

Israel tried that. The Hamas blew up (literally) the previous Oslo accord aiming at a Palestinian state. Israel also relaxed restrictions on Gaza and tried to normalize relations with the Hamas. The response was that it doesn't want that.

People need to separate the Palestinian people (most of which don't want a conflict) and the Hamas. The Palestinian people are sandwiched between the extremists and Israel. These things can't happen until the Hamas is eliminated which is what Israel is trying to do right now. I'm hopeful that this will end up as a "good thing" for the Palestinians and result in a Palestinian state.

Fair question. I fart more when I deviate from this diet, like if I eat a bunch of bread (hard to resist fresh bread, and my spouse likes to make it sometimes) or candy. I fart more when I'm stressed and/or eating too quickly or too much. On the best days I'm on top of things, not rushing meals, and the flatulence is negligible.

You can’t realistically support both leaded and unleaded avgas, and this is why adoption is so low.

Airports don’t always have the space for a second avgas tank (if this is the in between option), and if they did don’t necessarily want to spend money on setting up that infrastructure. So the current catch-all is to provide leaded which is cheaper and guaranteed to work in everything.

I think it’s great we are getting this forced through - it will make the approval process streamlined (like loda was) and removes a major reason people used to push airport shutdowns.
> The candidates that I’m calling fraudulent are answering “Yes” to a question on our applicant form asking if they’re eligible to work in the US.
