The authors seem to think that cancer is less deadly now, but they also note that increased screening likely increases the prevalence of cancer:

Introduction: "Currently, it was reported that the promotion of cancer screening strategies and the exposure to risk factors in early life or young adulthood may increase incidence of early-onset cancer... Furthermore, changes in diet, lifestyle and environment since the turn of the 20th century, resulting in increased rates of obesity, physical inactivity, westernised diets and environmental pollution, may have affected the incidence of early-onset cancer. Additionally, alcohol, smoking and detrimental pregnancy exposures may have also affected the incidence of early-onset cancer"

Conclusion: "Our study showed that the global morbidity of early-onset cancer increased from 1990 to 2019, while mortality and DALYs slightly decreased."
I am not sure CUDA is the moat, but yes, software is the moat.

To first order nobody writes any CUDA, and even if you do you are probably bad at it. The language is slightly easier to use than openCL but writing really performant code is still a nightmare (a pipeline of asynchronous memory copies from global to shared memory is not easy to program but this is a requirement for full performance on tensor cores).

So no, the moat really isn't the language. It's not even the libraries, it's the integration of the libraries into third party software like pytorch, jax, etc. This is the truly massive advantage NVIDIA has, and they got it by being early and by being installed in an awful lot of machines.
I'm not anywhere near knowledgeable enough to chime in on the feasibility of creating a nuclear reactor from a MRI machine, but there is this guy in Floyd, Virginia who has created a nuclear reactor from some old medical equipment, so maybe it's possible with a MRI machine too?
I think you would have to adjust the wage up quite a bit to account for the security guard's collusion with the local thieves. 100% what I would expect anyway.
This sounds almost exactly like how environments work in R, then… is that correct?
IANAL but things are still like they were with DeCSS. One of the problems the DMCA made is breaking media copy protection (like makemkv) is separate from why (making the legal backup copy)
Also putting display core routines in ROM was important because RAM access was slower (because the display used 1/2 the RAM bandwidth)
The 8088 and 8086 actually have the same number of pins and almost identical pinouts, despite the the difference in data bus width. This is because the data and address are multiplexed onto the same pins, because of intel's obsession with lowest pincount (each pin does add quite a bit of cost to packaging).

On the 8086, the bottom 16 address pins (of 20) are multiplexed with data, on the 8088, only the bottom 8 address pins are multiplexed.

So you had to demultiplex the bus no matter which chip you chose. I think the cost savings mostly come from being able to configure systems with only 8 DRAM chips per bank (instead of 16 DRAM chips per bank with the 8086). A 16 bit bus also requires that your ROM chips are in pairs, and it probably increases the motherboard routing complexity. And a small bit of extra decoding logic.

A 16 bit bus would have also required IBM to skip straight over the 8 bit ISA standard with it's smaller sockets and forced up the complexity of all PC expansion cards (which would also require double the ROM chips, double the RAM chips and extra logic)

Edit: And now that I think about it, the fact that the upper bit of the address bus aren't multiplexed might actually allow you to simplify the DRAM row/column addressing logic... But only if you put the column into the upper bits of the address.
If the human species somehow manages to continue, it will have to find a new home outside this planet. It’s just a matter of time before this planet “dies out” in terms of the ability to support current life forms.

You can't criticise free markets where there is no market, let alone a free one.

"Supply and demand" is not a free market claim, it is accepted by everyone.

I'm just pointing out that the NHS exchanges monetary cost with temporal cost - you're paying with your time rather than your dollars, for access. You're also paying dollars via tax, but that's unrelated to access.

A nation can accept or even demand this trade-off, and many do - but support tends to drop when it is made explicit.

It is probably true that eating lots of processed food robs your body of the chance to digest unprocessed foods via displacement.

Figure 3 shows incident rate changes in percent by country, it seems there are stark increases in South American and African countries and mainly declining incident rates in western countries. Intuitively, I would associate increases in those regions with increased access to medical care there - so, overall a good thing?
> ... I cannot imagine my mom going through anything like this, so for her the media landscape has gotten only worse.

I setup a Jellyfin server for my parents. It works, but ripping blu-rays--even with my efforts to largely automate and simplify things--is a nuisance they tend not to bother with. You can expect some phone calls and/or stacks of discs that were "forgotten" when you're around :).

Even then, it's still a more pleasant experience for them than the fragmented mess streaming has become, where added friction and annoyance are the glue that hold streaming apps together. IMO, setting up your own server is worth the occasional added hassle. Not that it eliminates streaming, sadly.

Now, if you're willing to spend a large sum of money to make the process painless, Kaleidescape[0] makes home media servers for the ultra high-end home theater/home AV market. They originally sold massive 300 Blu-ray disc changers you'd hook up to their system, adding more as your collection grew, but now you buy servers from them and download movies with with Blu-Ray-level bitrates from their store.

Of course, the same ~$300-500/TB for just the servers alone will buy you a hell of a lot of tech support for a Plex/Jellyfin setup.

No, that's fair. I could be more precise in terminology there, next time.
"Trimming the Herbs" was disqualified after it became clear that the original author of the level hadn't cleared it honestly (i.e. they abused glitches to upload the level without clearing it, or hacked the console to cheat through the level).

We definitely shouldn't give up on averting the catastrophes we know just because we've got a plan B but at the same time we shouldn't give up on a plan B just because we think we can avert a particular catastrophe.

At the end of the day "self-sustaining civilization in an already inhospitable and isolated place" is probably more about showing we've already managed to find a way to eek out under pretty much any situation than it is particularly about Mars itself. To be honest life on Mars would be significantly crappier for probably decades upon decades - but at least we'd prove out the floor and our ability to raise it over time instead of assuming we'll figure things out before our assumption where we are will always be supportive to us falls through for whatever reason.

I've used R for some data visualization in the past, but I'm not sure I was fully aware how R scopes work. The spreadsheet datatype is inspired by dataframes that I first saw in R though.

One difference with Rebol around scopes is that setwords only set values in current context. A function (or any other context) can't change anything outside directly, and also not in subcontext, so there is not context/word: "value".

You can only call functions in sub or parent contexts.

There are few functions that change words in-place and all end with !, they accept lit-word (in Rebol terms) that they should change in place. So this word is seeked in same manner as in general words are, also through parents, but it's very visible and explicit.
The trouble with doing that for Freakonomics is that the work on abortions reducing crime, which has been proven wrong, is the first chapter and the centerpiece of the book. It's the thing that they use to exemplify the "freakonomics" approach in the rest of the book.

Yes, but slow-steaming for efficiency on a cargo ship is ~18 knots, which is still above the upper speed of the fastest sustained speed of sail cargo vessels. You can slow further for efficiency, but you hit a tipping point pretty soon where you end up costing yourself more in time than you save in fuel.

Realistically, a sail cargo ship is going to move along at a rate less than 10 knots.

And of course this is all on a route with favorable winds. If the winds are against you, all bets are off.

The same is true of these wingsails, there are limited routes where they will be efficient. Anything going up-wind is actually going to be a loss.

The Chinese model cannot be sold in the EU because VW blocked parallel import.

It very much meets safety criteria it indeed does not have the middle airbag but it’s not a requirement for the EU or the US.

The normal pricing is still less than half of the EU price and it’s not that VW just gave it to SIAC and called it a day.

It’s a JV which VW has a 50% share in so again are they loosing $35K per car or not?

SIAC is a massive automaker so they are a far better example of what kind of profit margins you can expect.

The same goes for Volvo which produces the EX30 in China and the current EX30’s available to buy in the EU and the rest of the world are made in China since Volvo won’t start production in Europe until late 2025.

The reality is that there aren’t many EVs currently in Europe that are both functional and affordable in fact there are non.

The ID.3 is probably the minimal family car you can have and I would argue that if you have kids the ID.4 or 5 are probably the minimum you would comfortably get by with.

Korean and Japanese EVs aren’t much better either as the Kia EV6 or the Hyundai Ioniq 5/6 are quite expensive as well.

That’s actually exactly the reason why Cloudflare got it. They were the only ones at that point who could handle all the garbage that was sent to it, and willing to deal with it at their own expense.
For 240.0.0.0/4 it's not as much existing users violating spec as existing in-spec software and hardware not allowing it. E.g. even if you patched your Linux box and DHCP server to support 224.0.0.0 your hardware router might not forward the packet between zones, your Windows clients might not accept the assignment. In the public case your ISP might not accept it in their router hardware or filters and even if they did it doesn't mean the other 100,000 entities on the internet you're trying to talk to/through do. The same is all true with 224.0.0.0/4 as well plus the fact there is existing in spec use for multicast.

1.1.1.1 was never reserved but it was unassigned until 2010. By that point it had been used improperly so much it received massive amounts of garbage data when advertised (and still does to this day). It's just that "massive" turns to "quite tiny" in context of a giant CDN like Cloudflare so they were able to salvage it.

Well that depends where you buy, and I would argue that buying Surface device outside of sales/special offers is not a very wise decision.
Those are MSRP not necessarily the price people will buy them at (unlike Apple).

Even then, a Surface Laptop is somewhere in between a MacBook Air and MacBook pro depending on configuration.
Where I live, if you start adding necessary options, at the announced price a SL6 16/512GO is more expensive than a MacBook Air 16/512 (1879 vs 1759 euros) but much less expensive than a base MacBook Pro with 16/512 (2229 euros) and it arguably perform closer to the latter (especially with the dedicated 8GB of VRAM).

Then again, I would not buy them at launch and at the very least one should wait for their consumer-oriented offering.

Where I agree with you, is in Microsoft being almost as idiotic as Apple are with their pricing.
