> Isn't skin ageing much simpler - the structural proteins in the extracellular matrix like fibronectin get damaged by sunlight over time - crosslinks are formed and the skin loses elasticity?

If that were all there was to it, sunburns you get as a kid will make your skin look permanently older. Barring very severe burns, that doesn't happen. There is however a slower rate of replacement of all sort of proteins and structures as you age. About why it slows down, a biologist will say "the cause it's not well understood". They should instead say "the many causes are not well understood," which is kind of my point.

In this case, there definitely isn't "a" single process to hijack or reverse. The idea of a magical drug is, well, ludicrous. Using your simile, it's like trying to use a car to solve a town's transportation problem. But if increase your complexity budget quite a bit, there are all sort of interventions that will get you where you want.

Exercism's #48in24 Challenge
Exercism has a new annual challenge for 2024. This year we're focussing on digging deeper into the languages you use day-to-day rather than trying new languages.

A lot of the advertising industry (Twitch is an ad publisher which uses tech, not a tech company) is moving away from high-volume low-intent advertising to low-volume high-intent. It's becoming harder to squeeze pennies out of banner and video ads on platforms like twitch, facebook, youtube, and google ads. Some retailers like Amazon and Walmart make a significant chunk (if not the majority) of their revenue from retail advertising (basically: promoted search results)

Wikipedia isn't an appropriate place for Bash quotes because Wikipedia is an encyclopedia about broad concepts. Also, Wikipedia as a policy is not a primary source.

Nope. This is laughably out of touch -" I don't understand how certain people don't think like I do so they must be irrational." If unions were structured differently, there would be more incentives. People at large, in group form are much more rationale then academics want to give credit, they are simply following the incentives in their life and attempting to do what's best for themselves. Unions in the US are not very incentivising.

In the us, the way laws are written, unions are a political entity and basically from inception are in bed with the government. This creates a mismatch of incentives as the union is motivated to operate politically and this is reflected internally because that's how power is derived externally and thus internally. This creates a lot of odd things like the local foreman who manages the house is doing so because he has been around for 20 years or because he is friends with the guy who has been around for 20 years or because he bought in with millions to be that guy not because they are the right people for the job.

Because of these legal protections and structures unions don't have to compete against other unions and they don't have to compete for the workers membership either. For example the IATSE gets a cut of your work if you work in the industry because that's legally mandated even if you aren't a member. This encourages unions to become bloated, and self serving and it's not immediately clear their value add. Just like elsewhere in society top down structures begin to appear where a few people at the top of the union get most of the pie.

Workers are hesitate to involve themselves with unions here because they are yielding agency to a political machine in a fairly permanent way.

Don't forget some of the cons and headlines around unions here either. Some of the unions using violence, like the teamsters, here to gain power. Teachers unions trying to keep bloated headcounts in empty (by half) schools in Chicago nearly bankrupting the city. Police unions protecting their members despite obvious misconduct. Lots of police/fireman/city unions keep garenteeing investment return rates that aren't in line with the market that eventually bankrupt the city.

If the legal freedom and incentives were there people would do it, but this system is by design.

Similarly, the names of the months June and July sound similar in German (Juni and Juli), both ending in an ee sound, so when talking over the phone (or radio) the latter is often pronounced with an aye sound instead.

German also has a "phonetic alphabet" (i.e. nouns and proper names used to spell out letters over the radio) similar to the NATO phonetic alphabet. There are actually multiple because they differ between Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Germany also has two separate standards (of course): https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buchstabiertafel#Deutscher_Spr...

Most Germans know some of the postal alphabet (or an impromptu variation on it) because it's the older of the two. It's also worth mentioning that the postal alphabet was revised by the Nazis to eliminate "Jewish" (i.e. Biblical) names like Samuel, Zacharias and Nathan. Some of them were restored but that's how we ended up with Samuel/Siegfried, Zacharias/Zeppelin and Nathan/Nordpol. I'd say there's an 90% chance when spelling out a word or name over phone the other person will understand the postal alphabet and a 10% chance they'll be confused what you're doing.

It is not the same at all. Of course it needs javascript on the back to work.

But the concept is totally different. It uses a hypermedia declarative model, an extended POST/GET etc. model. It keeps things very simple compared to a framework like React where you need a package manager, a transpiler and a json backend for data (not returning hypermedia).

So I would not consider it another Javascript frontend framework at all. I would consider it more like original html with extensions that support Ajax respecting the original web model.

The media is peddling the opposite, that “things are still tough.” The numbers are clear: December CPI was hardly “through the roof”, wages ant anll levels are still growing faster than inflation and consumer behavior (spending) is robust. Most people are acting as if the economy is strong.

This is the USA: poor people continue to suffer and governments at the state and federal level are increasing their suffering, especially kids. That is also getting reported.

It’s like the crime stats: people believe crime is raging “elsewhere though not here” even though trends are down mostly across the board.

I work remotely for a big US company and I have heard talk of similar plans within the company, offshoring entire products' engineering work to India. Luckily my work is very niche (vuln research).

That model is a few years old now, though - it's certainly possible that Brother's stance has changed with newer models or that a recent firmware update changed that policy on this model. i guess i'll find out when i eventually go to replace the ones which came with it :/.

Don't forget that at Google promotions were based on successful launches, leading to multiple competing chat apps and a mountain of ther abandoned products. The company has been successful seemingly put of pure luck, and we're about to see how long they can milk the few cash cows they created.

From solar panels that we track at my organization the solar generation decreased by ~90% at 90% cloud cover. Cloud cover isn't the most important metric, it's irradiance, but still a good indicator and so yes, in a storm the power generation will drop by atleast 90% probably

The article mentions filters and say they cans introduce plastics too (in fact that's where the "There’s just no win" comes from).

I guess that ceramic filters are an option, this is old tech, existed before plastic, and supposedly effective at making water drinkable.

Or just drink straight tap water, it is fine in most of the developed world. In fact, that's what I think is the safest option. It is constantly being sanitized and monitored. Filtration solutions are fine, but they typically remove chlorine, which is often a desired effect, however, it also means that you also remove the stuff that prevents bacteria growth, which means you have to be careful that your filtered water doesn't become contaminated, possibly by the filter itself. It is, of course, doable, and the risks are low anyways, but if you are filtering drinkable tap water for health reasons, be aware that it is possible that you are making things worse. Of course, if you are filtering because your tap water is of poor quality, or for non-health related reasons (like taste), then go for it.

We created a public exploit for CVE-2021-44026 – and why
As an internal research exercise, we looked at CVE-2021-44026, an SQL injection vulnerability in the open-source mail client Roundcube.

Although it’s already two years old, it was successfully used in an exploit this summer. On 20 June 2023, CERT-UA and Recorded Future published a report of an attack which compromised the email infrastructure of several state organizations.

Given its popularity, we decided to replicate the SQL injection, as we found no public analysis about it. We did this as an internal research project and published the results so people responsible for email security could patch their Roundcube servers and prevent more data leaks.

Over-hiring and restructuring explanations, i.e., excuses, are the most lame and slaps in the faces ever. Such reasons are solely management problems and due to management incompetence.

This would imply there is an “end of work”. If these things are so good at augmenting your work, why would Google not keep their engineers, augment them with LLMs and just be more profitable and productive with the same number of people ? What does the lay off part get them ? Why be “just as productive” if you could be moar productive?

The fully replacing people thing would be if we had an AGI in which case I’ll be using one to augment myself and stay on top of the game.
