>I think its a separate and divisive issue

Right, it is incredibly divisive. So is freezing the bank assets of someone, which can endanger their lives at worst and at the minimum causes major distress.

I think it is important to highlight that if you're working at a bank, certainly at a high position, but also everyday clerks, you are lackeys for an organisation that threatens the lives of other people. Those people can choose to retaliate when your organisation gives them no other recourse. It is a fact. Maybe the banks should hire armed private security companies to safeguard the well being of their lackeys?

After all:

- How are you supposed to hire a lawyer to help get your account back when your account is frozen.

- How are you supposed to buy groceries to feed yourself, and your family the within possibly the next few hours. Not everyone has a fully stocked pantry.

- How are you supposed to buy life-sustaining medical supplies to for example a diabetic?

- How are you supposed to pay rent?

Within 1 month, a debanked person will be completely at the whims of being saved by friends and other alternative support networks. They are essentially robbed of everything. 1 month in a bureaucratic context __is nothing__. An issue with frozen bank accounts can take years to resolve, if they are even resolved?! The bank may choose to not give out the money in cash, and may require another bank to receive the funds by wire. What if no other bank takes in this debanked person?!

So when people talk about how divisive it is to mention the absolute animosity that these people will feel towards bank personell of all levels, ask who started it.

And most importantly, if you can't hire a lawyer, you can't buy groceries, you can't pay rent, you can't even buy gas for your car. Your family is standing in line at a homeless shelter, and your kids are crying. What remains other than desperate violence against people you feel are responsible for putting you in this hell of an existence? If you work at a bank, quit now. Don't wait until you've got blood on your hands because you've been a lackey to an inherently anti-human organisation such as a bank. If you continue working for the banks, even as a private contractor which might be the audience of people reading this, you're potentially in the firing line of very desperate people.

And those desperate people are right to be desperate. History doesn't usually change just because someone "filed a complaint", it tends to need to get really bad, and bloody.
Well if you want an idea of the political reasons, look for the dog that isn't barking

How many of the people waving Taliban flags or HAMAS flags in Britain have been debanked in the past month?
They're ok with it when it goes to the ASF; which is not what's going on here.
You would think differently if Krebs was writing about you.
So do I. Not only do I live here but I grew up here. Roughly 40 years. I respectfully disagree with you.

With all the homeless people, housing crisis and companies and people moving out of California largely because of government policies I'd say the government is doing a bad job.
Is ABS a feature on their training truck that doesn't exist on the real rigs, or something?

I've read about police receiving the opposite instruction: a reminder during training that they should keep their foot on the brake when they feel the ABS coming on. Apparently too many police were crashing because they'd lift, and attempt threshold braking as they'd been trained back in the day, when they felt the ABS coming on. They were interpreting the feel of ABS as a loss in traction.
I’ve been wondering the same but maybe we only have these examples because the only successful attempts to forcefully take power away from the capitalists has been by authoritarians.
I wasn't asking about your feel of things. I was asking about whether you're serious about thinking that no one cares about page load speeds.

Anyway, it was a rhetorical question, not one that needed an answer.
Exactly. Krebs isn't an anonymous troll on 4chan, he's a well-respected computer security journalist publishing under his own name.

If he got it wrong, he'd be facing a lawsuit. He's also incentivized to retract and apologize in that case to preserve his credibility as a journalist. Very different story than an unaccountable anonymous troll with a grudge on Twitter/Reddit/4chan.
Also they don't have to die.

Yes... Really big bang warfare - aka war - is what governments do.

$160B is really small for Berkshire Hathaway.

You're looking at a literally $Trillion++ company. This $100B is literally pocketchange for a rainy day for them.

They've got the vast majority of their assets invested. Saving some money for later is more than just "patience", it also involves thinking about the overall picture of the company in question.

------------

In any case, "Cash" earns 5.25 to 5.5% right now (Federal Funds Rate), meaning all companies with a PE Ratio worse than 19 is a worse investment than cash.

And there's a _LOT_ of companies that have less than a PE Ratio of 19. EDIT: I'm not saying that they're always going to be a worse buy. But a $1 Billion company needs to make 0.0525 Billion/year to be comparable against cash right now, or at least make an argument why this next year of investment is worth more than the 52.5 million that could be easily obtained from a (state-tax free) 1Y Treasury.
If imagined as discrete logic components there could be a HDL to model the logic while ignoring the challenges of folding it into a box. The cam is an immutable fixed length array of fixed length arrays. It actually seems like a useful enough thing to have it in a programming language. The arms read a value from one place and write it some place else like a multiplication or division like contraption that turns 1 cm of motion into 2.

Having it do one thing after the other (by default) seems challenging but not impossible. What would a for loop look like?

I cant begin to imagine how to design such a device but if you provided less complicated building blocks it seems something one could learn pretty fast.
I believe there is also a reverse correlation between vaccines and autism, in that higher-functioning autism causes vaccines (researchers with autism contribute to novel vaccines).

ASD being caused by gut inflammation or damage is called the leaky gut theory. Leaky gut is theorized to worsen or speed up symptoms of both ADHD and autism.

How do you yourself see a causal pathway from ASD to influenced gut biome? Small children being picky about their diet?

Both MMR vaccine and Covid experimental treatments have (rare) side effects of affecting gut biome. Both leaky gut and vaccine side effects are studied, without explicitly stating the causal chain and having one's reputation destroyed, but it becomes apparent when combining both types of research: vaccine leads to bowel inflammation. Bowel inflammation affect neural pathways. Affected neural pathways worsen or speed up onset and symptoms of autism.

RFK did not cite research as much as desperate parents coming to him with their stories. Research on connection between autism and vaccines is bad, not "bad" as in bad quality, but "bad" as in taboo and damaging to public health (which cares about vaccination rates more than individual health).

You can not state there is no connection, just that research indicates no causation, correct. The original research was not deeply fraudulent, nor had bad motives, but was legit scientific inquiry. There were some problems though with the ethics and methodology, but finding these was required to blackball the entire research. Wakefield's book is interesting for another perspective.

Some older research: prevalence of chronic gastrointestinal symptoms in children with autism and autistic spectrum disorders. Combine with literature study on modern research and vaccine side-effect research (preferably before Covid, since that made vaccine side-effect research similarly taboo).

Thanks for engaging. It is more common to be completely dismissive and not entertain perceived fools or quacks.
> I don't think you can say with certainty that it existed, or it didn't exist at all.

Certainty is a red hearing. You cannot say anything with absolute certainty. The question is whether there is evidence to support the conjecture. For Atlantis, there isn't much and so there really isn't any rational reason to believe it existed. If more compelling evidence arises, that is the time to believe, but not before.

By "information" you mean the idea that a screen brightness can be adjusted? I am honestly confused if you thought before reading this that pixels were somehow limited by how dim they could get?
I got really good at pumping the brakes (is that "dosed braking"? new term to me) in the days before ABS.

You can definitely get close to the performance of ABS with practice. Used to practice in the snow, in empty parking lots. (ABS or no ABS, everybody should safely practice recovering from spins and slides in empty parking lots! It's also really fun...)

The idea that a pro could outperform ABS is surprising to hear. I guess one area where a pro could outperform ABS is if you are trying to slow, not stop. All the ABS systems I've used seem to assume you're trying for a full stop.

Anyway, I'm really glad we have ABS now.

The entire pacific is of strategic importance to the United States. China does not just claim Taiwan but exclusive jurisdiction over the South China Sea, a major international shipping corridor. There is no way the United States will let that happen, and it has nothing to do with determining whose lives are more important (although you can be sure the defense department has a ranking of which fronts are most important for American interests).

As for your dual citizenship. This does not reduce your bias. In fact your dual allegiances seem to cloud your ability to analyze things from an American interests perspective
Why do we get wrinkles?
One downside of either the zoom trick or the reduce whitepoint option is that you won't see the screen dim before the screen locks from inactivity. This occasionally trips me up if I'm having trouble reading a page quickly. I usually work around this by just touching the screen occasionally or increasing the inactivity limit temporarily.

No need for a sophisticated mathematical model. Look at wind production last year per grid watch [1], the two peaks in term of energy consumption (around Feb 2022 and Nov 2022 in the "Last Year (Day Averages)" chart correspond to times when wind was low (and therefore gas was high), some days going to near zero. And last winter was an unusualy warm winter.

If I can find examples just looking at one year's worth of data, how is this going to survive a once in 25 or 50 years weather event with no wind for something like 3 weeks?

No, React exists because there was a need for a template engine that’s easy to use.

There is still no global standard for templates.

Just like mustache, Twig, Java Server Pages, Jinja, ERB… every language has this problem. You have a bunch of components written in HTML and you need to mix and match them together in a bigger unit. React+JSX let you do that easier than appending DOM components. Before React, you’d use different libraries that did what React did.

The ONLY major language I can think of that has templating baked in is PHP.

At 650 au the local star is going to be pretty dim. For our sun, 422,500 times dimmer than at Earth. That's dimmer than night with a full moon. Solar power would be about 3 milliwatts per square meter.

If you're setting up an interstellar communication network, it might make sense to have one really built up solar system (presumably ours) where you have all the massive infrastructure for power production, and then rather low mass transceivers in distant solar systems with little or no infrastructure can still function.

In the README there is a WHY paragraph:

> Freedom of information is an essential pillar of democracy and informed decision-making. While media organizations have legitimate financial interests, it is crucial to strike a balance between profitability and the public's right to access information. The proliferation of paywalls raises concerns about the erosion of this fundamental freedom, and it is imperative for society to find innovative ways to preserve access to vital information without compromising the sustainability of journalism.
Well that makes some sense for training professional drivers, which most people are not.
1. Numbers-wise, this is largely a problem with #2. Most homeless aren't the sidewalk shitting variety. In general, California cities don't round up and kick out their homeless. I never saw sidewalk shitting homeless when I lived in SF, but my understanding is it's gotten worse since I moved out. I live in a suburb of LA and have never seen sidewalk shit down here, unless it was deposited by a dog.

2. This is largely a city-level problem. The state of California is trying to solve it. The cities are NIMBYs and always want someone else to house all the people.

3. This sounds like an SF problem. Again, I don't live there anymore. Keep in mind that less than 3% of the population of California lives in SF.

> For structs that I do not want to heap-allocate, they're usually POD types and in arrays (which you can bound check), so there's not much to think about borrowing.

Both situations which also apply to Rust. Whenever the borrow checker complains you can do exactly the same thing.

> The more concerning issue I usually have is about about initializing the values correctly (which usually Rust doesn't help, when reasoning about performance-sensitive code).

You can use a type-state machine, where the only way to construct the final value is by calling all of the appropriate methods that change the type parameters on the Self type. When that gets compiled it ends up as either a single memcopy of values, or you can make the Self type hold a MaybeUninit value to make the partial construction with no copy at the end possible. I actually implemented that for fun and as it turns out already existing crates that held every field in an Option and then built the final value from those ended up being faster. C'est la vie.
Good article. One of the chapters of my dissertation focused on a small portion of this – I used remotely-sensed measurements of ocean surface temperature to drive mechanistic models of phytoplankton physiology to get a bit more detail on the effect that marine "heatwaves" have on their growth rates. I was able to validate this approach using another remotely-sensed dataset of ocean chlorophyll, which we'd expect to be linked to phytoplankton growth rates.

Besides being some interesting science, it was also an amazing testament to open data and high-quality scientific publishing. I was able to pull all of the ocean data from government sources for free, and leverage physiological model parameters published in open-access journals. And I was able to run the whole thing using Python/Dask on a VM in Google Cloud.

I wonder why all these health issues weren't more widely observed back in the day when every gas stove and gas-powered water/room heater had a continuously burning pilot light. Shouldn't the additional combustion 24 hours/day have magnified the effect to the point where no one could ignore it?

I grew up in a house with an electric coil stove, not because of worries about exhaust but more about leaks in the gas supply line. The house actually had a powerful vent fan built right into the exterior wall above the stove location.

The house also had a coal-burning gravity furnace, and directly across the street was a railroad with diesel engines for both freight and commuters passing by many times a day. And one of my parents was a cigarette smoker, which I was exposed to every morning. And yet somehow I don't have asthma. But now when I cook I do run the vent fan to outside that is in the microwave mounted over my stove.

I find the game analogy silly. Of course reality is "like" a game – games are inspired by and modeled after reality, after all!

If you flip it around to say "games are like working at a remote job", then the flaw becomes obvious. A remote job is not like playing all games – only the ones with activities that mirror what we already do in real life. Which is, ultimately, not a very interesting statement.
