As far as I can tell, there’s very little one can do for any extended time without creating epigenetic changes. Epigenetic changes are durable changes in gene expression within the cell - we already know that fasting or food deprivation create epigenetic changes, and the mechanism of cell differentiation generally (muscle vs liver cells, say) is epigenetic.

I’m not going to defend long-term high-level cannabis usage - I’ve got eyes - but I’d suspect we’re going to find more things in the “causes epigenetic effects” bucket than not.
I use Windows, Mac, Linux and FreeBSD (the latter two CLI only) all day long. I like them all, including Windows. 11 is great, but I don't use Edge. And you do have to go a little out of your way to avoid signing into a Microsoft account and dealing with pre-installed crap or backup offers. But then again, there is effectively no way around using an Apple account on a Mac.

> We must prevent Texas from making a tragic, irreversible mistake.

Another tragic, irreversible mistake. The man has already been on death row for two decades. Imagine spending 20 years in a cell waiting to be executed because people believe you murdered your own child. Nothing will undo the kind of damage that does to a person, nor will anything make up for the years lost.

I'd struggle to come up with something more cruel. Honestly I'd consider it merciful to kill someone immediately rather than putting them through decades of psychological torture. At least that would only be barbaric.
In order to build a virtual video card, you have to understand the EE and CE and CS stuff to the point where you're able to do that. That's the point of the article, is that there are ways in which they are comparable. In one you're using minecraft as the UI to implement things. At Nvidia you'd use Cadence as the UI instead.

There would be an objective way but it wouldn't be politically accepted. Because then there wouldn't be so much difference in compensation for work and it doesn't do rich people or politicians any good.
After all, if everyone is closer in net worth, many of the problems politicians are supposed to solve just go away.

In any case, objectively the ones who get a shit ton of money just for owning a stock or just leading (making choices, good or bad) are overcompensated compared to the rest.

Supply and demand don't work for this type of stuff because demand (for better paid jobs/position) is basically infinite while supply is artificially constrained: we are making sure that only one in a hundred or one in a thousand can get the position, regardless of actual worker competence. One might be perfectly good enough for the job but if all the positions are taken, he will have to settle for a lower position.

The fact is that the difference between lower levels of pay and higher ones is way too large and this inequality has increased 10-50-fold in the last 50 years. Clearly the system is broken.
No, as the section I linked explains, you can also prove that you own the domain and then revoke the cert without having the private key. It's meant exactly for cases where some other party has obtained a cert for your domain for whatever reason (change of ownership, compromise, ...)
How to configure tmux, from scratch
As a man with a full time job (remote), a wife and a kid under way I cannot really fathom having energy for more social activities (except meeting some friends or family at most once a month, reluctantly). Am I a hikikomori? I kind of relate to them.
My wife also doesn't meet anyone else ever.
Now that I think of it - neither do our parents or most people living in their village. It's all work + church at most.

Maybe as humans we don't really need social interaction THAT much? I mean how do you explain people who seem to thrive living off-grid?
We do need jobs and some basic communication skills for sure at least to maintain the current standard of living but maybe not for socializing.

The automatic enrolment in the Etsy advertising program means the platform fees for anyone selling more than 10k USD increase sharply at that point to ~20% of total revenue.

What that means is that any artists/makers that are doing volumes that represent anything even close to a full time wage are totally shafted. If I were an artist selling stuff, I would strongly consider a switch to something like Shopify, especially as you then aren't on a storefront sitting next to a whole bunch of drop shipped garbage.

> Why are you building a graphics card inside minecraft instead of inside nvidia?

Before you can build inside NVIDIA, you have to convince the people in charge that this is a project worth building. They're not going to hire some guy that plays Minecraft all day and the people within the company that do build things are at least 2 layers removed from anyone who directs the new projects.

The most I can do within my own company is make small tweaks to an existing project. Anything that will need multiple people turns into a political battle.
These people are doing something enjoyable. Having fun is rarely profitable.

ETA: I thought about doing something like buying my sister in law a new iPhone or something, but that of course feels pretty dirty, like I'm just buying forgiveness, and frankly it's kind of selfish on my end, trying to convert someone's sadness into something transactional because transactional things are much easier to deal with.

One, their ethnicity and even nationality are irrelevant.

Two, that was already adjudicated. This action is about one person--with adverse court records in two countries--stealing defence technology and "selling" it to a company he controls in China. The stealing was a civil matter. The exfiltration is a national-security one.

Last time I checked, being a member of the communist party in China is not a racial classification. That the Chinese Communist party allows no immigration and brutally suppresses minorities in its borders might be. Speaking of which, did you know it is completely illegal to practice Judaism in China since it's not one of the five accepted religions?
This gives a good clue as to what was going on:

> Last year, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Nitya Iyer ordered Jia, Bluevec and another Bluevec employee to pay $800,000 to SkyCope for misusing its confidential information and selling a direction-finding code to Chinese anti-drone company Beijing Lizheng Technology.

Sounds like Bluevec was taking direct investment from China, and relaying trade secrets of a Canadian company working in the defence industry to a foreign adversary.

One could ask: Why is the US not a decade ahead of the rest if the world in weaponizing small drones and deploying countermeasures to them?

The answer is a few letter: ATF & FAA.

If the original intent and clear meaning of the 2nd Amendment to the United States Constitution had been honored, armed drones and countermeasures to them would be common in the USA.

If the US looses a war in the next 20 years, it will be the fault of the ATF & FAA.

If you're arguing that that was the systemic problem, then it's been fully fixed, as the manual operation was removed and so validation can no longer be bypassed.

The thing is, I have to do what some might consider "loser" activities right now because I come from a third-world country. If I want to build a startup or do something extraordinary one day, I need some money to support myself. I don't come from a poor background; on the contrary, I come from an upper-middle-class family. My parents can fund my studies abroad, but that's it. After that, they don't have much money left to give, and I don't intend to ask for more.

If this agency can get $50k a year in the worst case, that might not be bad because the currency conversion rate is favorable, and it provides me with some funds for the future. While I don't disagree with Thiel, I don't have the money to have zero revenue in my pocket for several years. However, I'm not naive enough to just sell a website. I will sell something creative, and the website will be a key part of that. Or maybe I will brand a business—who knows? This is my last year of college, so why not do something crazy instead of nothing?

I wrote "both sides". Religion is at the core of this dispute. Why did Jews want to go back to the Holy Land and not some place else? Religion. Why does Iran want to wipe out Israel from the face of the Earth? Religion.

All sides of the Palestinian conflict have strong groups of influence who base their demands on religious grounds, because when you cannot deny facts or do not want to start a long, hard road to peace and reconciliation saying "my made up deity told me so" is apparently reason good enough to start killing people.

My understanding of military tech is that it is fairly hard to determine where the current state of the art is due to just how classified it all is.

How can you claim this with confidence?
The real answer is where they always have: local markets and craft fairs. Most towns and cities have some kind of periodic craft market, which is often related to a farmers and/or food market. They usually have some kind of weird schedule like first Sunday of every month or similar.

You can also see if your local arts centre/university/whatever has some kind of market. There's also usually different kinds of conventions for specific industries where people will set up booths.
A single example does not prove the rule.
That's the price of the second amendment!
While the administrative action is opaque, the B.C. Supreme Court isn't, and they found Bluevec guilty of "misusing its confidential information and selling a direction-finding code to Chinese anti-drone company".

That, to me, doesn't "look like industrial espionage", but rather is pretty clear cut.
Don't take this as a disagreement but I wonder from reading your comment: Is there a right way to live life?

Your statement appears to be passing judgement to an adult using marijuana as a coping mechanism. Do you also have the same feeling for someone who takes a prescribed medicine for similar emotional regulation? I get there is a line here with certain mental disorders but if someone finds themselves better off (in their own opinion) by using marijuana who are you, or I to judge?

Similarly, I don't judge the person who picks up their monthly Rx at the pharmacy, if it makes them feel good. At the end of the day people are just trying to live their life and be comfortable.
It is foolish to assume they aren’t. They’ve been flying the things since the 80s
Funnily enough I used to use i3 and later sway until I realized I just full screened everything (on different workspaces) except terminals. Now I just use gnome and attach to a long running tmux session where I split panes to replicate my old tiling workflow.
> He stole anti-drone technology from a Canadian company and gave it to China.

No. SkyCope itself is owned by a Chinese company, Shenzhen Shengkong. Also, Bluevec did not "give" the anti-drone tech to "China". It sold it to a (different) Chinese company for $800,000.

> [182] The defendants’ submissions characterize the Bluvec Code as “rudimentary” and say it did not use anything other than technology that was commonly known in the industry. However, Dr. Pan admitted that, while he was still working at Skycope, he wrote direction-finding code for Mr. Jia that later became part of the Bluvec Code. Bluvec subsequently sold that direction-finding technology to Lizheng for $800,000.

> [188] Skycope submits that it and its parent companies have suffered detriment by being forced into extensive litigation in China and that Bluvec and Lizheng’s entry into the market has harmed Skycope and Shengkong’s market position in China. ...

> [222] ... Similarly, there is no evidence that Skycope (including its parent, Shengkong) operates outside of Canada and China.

You motivated me to look into this more. I wrote a program that just floods stdout and prints what time it got SIGINT and then exits. Of course this program exits immediately when you press C-c.

The program that I have the most trouble with is jlog (https://github.com/jrockway/json-logs). I wrote it so this could very easily be my fault. (I think it's the colors and whatnot, which I have not explored yet.)
This is something I have questioned myself, in many many places there are extremely talented young people who are doing impressive, labor intensive work which is completely useless.

On the one hand there is obviously immense value to doing useless things (almost everything I ever learned was from doing useless things) and I think it is impossible to begrudge them in any way. But again and again I see people who are doing nothing else with their immense talent and whose entire life revolves around a singular vanity obsession (video game speed running, as just one example).

Surely, there has to be some reason that these people won't/can't live out their obsessions in a way that both financially benefits them and society at large.

It's interesting we've had such opposite experiences with tmux configuration.

My home git log shows my first tmux configuration was in 2017. Since then, several options have been removed, they now throw an error on startup, and mess with muscle memory for key bindings that are essential to using a program like this.

This means that to get tmux working properly again I have to catch up on years of release notes to figure out what I'm supposed to change. I have never once had to do this with screen despite using it for over 20 years.

Any time my muscle memory is betrayed, I give up and go back to screen and don't bother touching tmux again for several months.
