Because it has low solubility it will be less toxic compared to a more soluble form of lead, but it is still highly toxic and there is no safe dose. It has been implicated in numerous documented cases of lead poisoning from adulterated turmeric and you wouldn't want to be consuming it.
Right, but they were serving content that wasn't from R2 as far as I understand from that thread. Not trying to say they that justifies their treatment, only that it doesn't apply to my use case. They were also seeing ~30TB of daily egress on a non-enterprise plan, which would absolutely never happen in my case – 1TB of daily egress would be a p99.9 event.

Re cache-size, maybe I've misunderstood what you mean by cache size limiting, but yeah that's my point – I don't need a massive cache size for my application. My data doesn't lend itself much to large and distributed spikes. Egress is spiky, but centralized to a few files at a time. e.g. if there were to be a single day where 1TB were downloaded at once, 80% of it would be concentrated into ~20 400MB-sized files.
>it's surprising just how effective they've been at turning many people against him.

He's done plenty of it himself, retweeting nazi shit and great replacement shit and all types of horrible shit he supports on twitter. It takes a real boot licker to not recognize his overt evil he believes politically, and believe it's some media conspiracy. The fact he takes government money isn't a question, whether giving elon that money is a net benefit or detriment is a different question entirely. The boot is so far down your throat you're being as myopic as those you accuse of being myopic.

I'll explain this real slow. The problem with people like elon isn't that they get tax payer money, it's that they act afterwords like they bootstrapped themselves alone in to success and then dodge billions in taxes. Simple enough for you elon simp??
Ah, the old “drunk or rabies” game
The reason for the lack of Greek history on the topic is because it was a closely guarded Egyptian piece of knowledge, apparently.

The story of 'Atlantis' as Plato knew it, came to him from Critias (the younger) through his father, Critias (the elder, also Plato's great grandfather), who got it from his father Dropides who received it directly from Solon, who learned of the story from his time in Egypt, specifically via priests in Sais who supposedly maintained an artifact from this lost civilization.

It's clear that Plato's recanting of the story is embellished, he probably made up a great number or all of details to support his ideas and what he was trying to get across, but it's also possible that there are germs of truth in the story, such an ancient civilization being destroyed that Egyptians were aware of.

It's not a stretch to imagine that Egyptians had knowledge of ancient civilizations, or that secret knowledge was revealed to Greeks, and it's not stretch that civilizations rose and fell all over the Earth. There isn't much to hang your hat on but I think we can charitably assume there was some real basis to the story that Plato based his writing on.

Did ancient Egyptians poses knowledge of the Americas and encounter its population? Or was it a story about a local group of people? Or perhaps it was a general story of a pre-historic civilization and the associated cataclysms that ended it? Who knows, but I don't think you can say with certainty that it existed, or it didn't exist at all.
They also said elsewhere that this "1 week" revocation of their university enrollment was the end of a long string of them not paying, not purchasing required insurance, etc.

Basically this happened at the worst possible time and by then the university had had enough of them not paying the bill and not following required policies.
I've been yield farming for years, this is not a new thing.
I strongly suspect that arbitration is a defensive reaction to broken aspects of the US civil litigation system.

Fixing the system would be much better than banning arbitration, but it's also probably very, very hard.

So here we are.
Surrendering rights in any contract of adhesion. I'd consider it to be reasonable for a negotiated contract between two companies to include a binding arbitration clause; however, any "take-it-or-leave-it" consumer nonnegotiated contracts should be (and in some jurisdictions are) heavily restricted with respect to potentially unfair clauses, one of them being binding arbitration.

> No - it's not possible to avoid

What? Just go read the PayPal one. It says very clearly you can only bring arbitration cases on an "individual basis". Which was directly in response to this issue.

"Unless both you and PayPal agree otherwise, the arbitrator(s) may not consolidate or join more than one person’s or party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative or class proceeding."

Edit: maybe PayPal was the wrong example here - I definitely saw clauses change after the Uber court case, but it seems the PayPal one had been there longer?
> At the end of the Cold War, I enlisted in the Navy because it was a good opportunity; there was no ambiguity regarding the bad guys; the military leadership was good; the elected leadership was generally tolerable.

Sounds like you received a healthy dose of cold war propaganda.

> I'm no longer able to encourage the youth to follow in my footsteps, as the opposite of the above is generally the case.

You sure about that? Because the same leadership, military and political, are in power as they were at the end of the cold war. Nothing changed in the US after the cold war because we won.

I think you have to come to terms on who the bad guys real were. The soviets weren't the evil empire. The evil empire is the one that beat the soviets. Or maybe the eviler empire beat the evil empire.
"The pillars of Heracles" as referred to by Plato means the strait of Gibraltar. So yes, you're spot on with the location.

The video correctly explains that ABS isn’t about shortest braking distance but more about a predictable trajectory and ability to avoid obstacles where possible.
It also takes a lot of guesswork from braking as you can simply instinctively slam the brakes and get good enough results.
Especially on a motorcycle slamming the brakes in panic without abs ends up in a crash.
It's not only the US. The people of Taiwan are annoyingly reluctant to give their island nation to Beijing.
You can also write it more simply in Rust as other responses showed, there's no need for the flame war.
Generally the same idea, yes. Your parent mentioned a key difference though: "and pattern matching." enums in Rust have much stronger language support.

But there are also differences, for example, errors must be absl::StatusCode, whereas enums in Rust allow for arbitrary error payloads.

Also don't discount ecosystem usage: everyone uses Result in Rust, abeseil isn't used by most things, and std::expected has its own issues (though I can appreciate how tough making those calls is) and only landed in C++23, so it's not as widely used as Result either.
They are not comparable.

Starlink offers highspeed (actually, not marketing gibberish), low latency internet around the world at a price people can actually afford and without unreasonable datacaps. This is possible because they are mass producing phased array antennas, something that was out of reach of common affordability before Starlink.

Starlink is comparable to Iridium like dial-up internet is comparable to fiber. Just go to Iridium's website and try to figure out what they actually sell to anyone who doesn't have elite pockets.

Their increased appetite for risk has to do with the world they were handed. Homes are unaffordable, payroll has not kept up with inflation, politics seems hell bent on ending any and all aid programs, to provide funding for tax cuts to people that pay less than I do in taxes already, while making many, many more 0s.
This is about motorcycles, not 4-wheel cars (except for a very brief contrast between the two).
After I read this “Sapiens” book, I re-read once again “The Dragons of Eden: Speculations on the Evolution of Human Intelligence” by Carl Sagan.

The contrast is stark, Sagan is so much more insightful and at the same time, more careful with his conclusions.

It's like comparing an amateur with an accomplished professional.
ok, but you still didn't give me any direct idea of how the world would be directly improved.

JWST is cool, as is starlink or whatever, but what do we plan to put in orbit that would "change the world for the better like very few things we’ll see this century" ?

Nuclear fusion, better batteries, better PVs, cancer cures, tailor-made vaccines, phage therapy, quantum computing, genomics, robotics, AIs.. all seem to have a more likely direct impact as this century's innovations.
That's what folks said about credit and debit cards to the curmudgeony folks like me 30 years ago.

Older adults with higher triglyceride levels within the normal to high-normal range had a lower dementia risk and slower cognitive decline over time compared to individuals with lower triglyceride levels.

I personally don't think so. I think there are very, very few people actually believing in real-world usage of cryptocurrencies. Most are in it for speculative reasons.
It's kind of interesting how we, as carbon based lifeforms, have been spewing carbon products into every part of our environment en-mass and they all seem to have negative influences on our well being.

> voids the fraud protection offered by your bank

I am guessing this depends on how you connect your bank to the app? If you just hand over plaintext username/password, maybe you don't get protections. But most apps use a service like Plaid which should limit permissions to read-only.
Unfortunately for China, they successfully pissed off every single neighbor in the pacific, making it exponentially harder for them to attack Taiwan since all those neighbors went to the US for protection.

The US basically has a barrier of military bases along the entire Chinese coast. The US also besties with Singapore, sharing a navel base there, where it could easily cut off China from middle eastern oil via The Straight of Malacca.

China should just take the L on Taiwan. In a war they wouldn't get any of the chip fabs or tech. Everything would be destroyed. It would be purely to fulfill their ego at an extreme cost.
Chomsky is against state and corporates but
media can also be co-opted by foreign entities and ideologies.

A Linux distro is going to need to see compiler to self-host regardless of the user land. If you can live without Linux, there's redox ( https://redox-os.org/ )
“Static” here means that variables are const by default, and you can’t modify one without explicitly marking it as mutable.

In your case, a config object would be mutable inside the function that loads it from disk into memory, then read-only everywhere else by default.
I think in addition to all the benchmarks used right now for LLM evaluation (HumanEval and the like). It would be interesting to have a 'hallucination benchmark' with a summarization based hallucination dataset.
Gen Xer here. I also want to retire early, but... not off to a good... middle? That's in large part my own fault - it wasn't even a consideration or on my radar for a very long time.

I came from a blue collar background, hand-to-mouth background. We were, as John Scalzi would say, "broke" but not quite "poor." My parents didn't retire so much as age out of the workforce and scrape by.

Hope Gen Z'ers do better than I have...
As a US citizen I am happy to pay taxes to allow small democratic nations to defend themselves from large bully neighbors.

All the better when the large bully neighbors would happily do away with USA if they could.

If small nations bolstering self defense and making treaties is viewed as threatening to much larger neighbors, then I'm very curious about what those large nations had planned for the smaller ones.

I don't understand how you think that building up defensive capabilities is provoking war. Making the cost of invading higher makes it less likely the PRC will try to invade. The US's long standing goal has been to preserve peace in the Taiwan strait by making the cost of attempting to invade sufficiently high to deter PRC from making the attempt at invading https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/35...

I am fully in favor of the US reducing its military. Sadly, fascists, racist and religious fundamentalists won't stop violating the rights of other people, fueling the American military industrial complex.
How is this post different from a d0x?
Yes, we often look at it from a personal choice point of view: I can evaluate the contract and decide that I’d like to waive this right. But the law exists to protect everyone, and part of that is it imposes a little bit on everyone.

If a basically every company insists that you waive your employee rights to work for them, then the only people with those rights are the unemployed, rendering those laws a bit moot.

You gain a competitive advantage over your peers by being willing to waive your rights, in the sense that a company of course would like to not have to respect your rights. The point of employee protection laws is to take that off the table.
"A psychoactive dose of THC increases internal clock speed as indicated by time overestimation and underproduction. This effect is not dose-related, and is blunted in chronic cannabis smokers, who did not otherwise have altered baseline time perception."

This is consistent with simply being dropped in an unfamiliar environment and slowly adapting to it. We call them "trips" for a reason. A new drug is a foreign country. For pot a chronic stoner is a local. You could get similar overestimation and underproduction by jetting them to a place full of strange people, languages and customs.

Git rebase, what can go wrong
It would be a sociologist that would take the time to search up a fancy symbol "𝕏" for a companies' branding.

I can't wait until we achieve complete brand saturation and revert to pictographic communication using only official branding symbols. The ASCII symbols disappear from everyone's keyboards and become ancient glyphs. Only the global elite can afford to spend the time learning this ancient script, but it comes with a powerful benefit. Through the ritual magic of Prompt Engineering, the ancient script unlocks the true power of GPT-11. While us mortals can only communicate vague moods in emoji and receive a symbolic stream of consumer goods and branding in response, those who speak the ancient script have the power of millions of undergraduate essays of varying accuracy.

> We believe in open source because it encourages innovation

Sorry, but I was not amused when Dendrite decided to stop accepting PRs because they are a small team. That is far from encouraging innovation. To me, it seemed like lacking in sustainable FOSS management. PRs I sent were rewritten, squashed and merged by the Dendrite team, instead of them just doing reviews and asking me to fix what they considered unfitting(substandard/wrong.

I never thought I'd say that a FOSS team is doing too much work, but it seems to me they burned out for some reason. I can only speculate as to the cause. Changing the license is not going to fix that problem.

Anyway, I'm still an active Matrix user, and am grateful for all the work they do put into the projects. I just thought it was more fun to be able to contribute.

There is one—"a thousand feet"—but also you can't use the existence of measurements as evidence of authenticity.

For one, those measurements can't possibly have been recorded by Plato or a contemporary, because if there were a historical Atlantis all claims point to it being centuries older than Plato. Any numbers he's using are either completely fictitious or passed down and distorted through generations. Either way, Plato clearly didn't care that they were accurate.

Second, ancient literature is kind of obsessed with giving precise measurements for things that can't possibly be accurate. The numbers are inserted to give a sense of grandeur, and are just a part of the style of this kind of work. Where they seem odd and out of place to us, they were common at the time. See the Bible, Herodotus, and many others.
All cryptobros buy into the ancap rhetoric, to some extent. Nice try.
The one i like is imagining some poor schnook of a grad student in 500 years writing a dissertation on “american pie” and the complex interrelationship of food culture and religion, and if the Jester in the song is the same as the joker that batman killed (or didn’t), and if so was he talking to the thief in the watchtower — and what really does that have to do with band camp?!

Certainly they exist. They must not post jokes on social media.

It's not really cash, the money is invested in (mostly US) government bonds.

The reason it's in bonds and not in shares, is simply that bonds nowadays give a pretty decent revenue.

It takes black Americans way longer than everyone else to wash and do their hair. (Guessing 2-5x longer for doing hair, and perhaps an order of magnitude longer to do a full wash.)

The cost to black women to get their hair done is generally more than any other group.

Almost all black women (and probably black men) have had to develop some coping mechanism for the number of non-black people who want (or at times, demand) to touch their hair.

Digression-- I remember a black doctor who had a coping mechanism for the number of patients who assumed he was the nurse and asked him where the doctor was. He would spin 360-degrees and then present himself to the patient again. :)

As for the sibling comment-- my first three sentences are falsifiable.
