Aircraft carriers were a key component of projecting power into the pacific. They've never been impregnable (obviously both sides lost carriers in the pacific, including at least one I can think of to a lone submarine).

> “Why the US ended up winning the war in the Pacific was therefore not because of the fleet that they started the war with—it was the fleet that they ended it with—almost all of whose most effective and advanced warships were launched after the Battle of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941”.

Considering that the tonnage of ships the US had was limited by treaty (treaties were expired, but it takes time to build ships) and that Japan's attack further reduced the fleet strength, one would expect that the US won with ships built after Pearl Harbor.

There was an 18 month period in which the US built more fleet carriers than Japan had in the entire war. In addition, Japan lost a huge fraction of their experienced pilots in 1942, which was arguably as deleterious as losing the carriers.

I’m perfectly happy in my heroin-laced, shit encrusted city. You, on the other hand, sound miserable.
To be a little more precise:

1. "Prophylactic or therapeutic administration of neomycin provided significant protection against upper respiratory infection and lethal disease in a mouse model of COVID-19."
2. "Furthermore, neomycin treatment protected Mx1 congenic mice from upper and lower respiratory infections with a highly virulent strain of influenza A virus. "
3. "In Syrian hamsters, neomycin treatment potently mitigated contact transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)."
4. "In healthy humans, intranasal application of neomycin-containing Neosporin ointment was well tolerated and effective at inducing ISG expression in the nose in a subset of participants."

The mechanism appears to be that Neosporin triggers an ISG[1] (immune) response? Not a biologist etc, but the results showing that it prevents transmission is only in rodent models, and then showing that a similar biomarker shows up in (some of) the participants and the rodent models. They authors say:

> "These findings suggest that neomycin has the potential to be harnessed as a host-directed antiviral strategy for the prevention and treatment of respiratory viral infections."

Currently trying to get friends to use it, and eventually having a dashboard that I can just leave open in a tab and check once in a while to get a glimpse of things happening. Not sure if that'll work though.
I have been debating on switching to the shot but Havnt yet.

Just to avoid the accidentally missing a dose or the chance interactions (lower efficacy) with dairy and many fiber supplements, this would be amazing.

Would be nice to never need to worry about that or think, hey I missed a dose is it actually true that it doesn’t matter or do I need to wait a full week. Half a week?

My only concern here though, if it’s in your system for 6 months what if you have an adverse reaction or just some unpleasant symptoms.

> The law will also prohibit social media platforms from sending notifications regarding addictive feeds to minors from 12:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. without parental consent.

So they'll need to verify a user's age, and possibly also relationship to another user.

That seems like it would interfere with anonymity which is necessary to be able to speak freely on contentious issues. Or will people saying heretical things just not be able to use fancy feeds or all-hours notifications?

(Or instead of political dissidents, maybe consider people who have a crazy stalker ex.)
Yeah this. I only shot an win32 c++ win32 desktop app I compiled for NT4 in 1999 about 2 years ago and that was running on Windows Server 2016 fine. It was resurrected earlier this year again. futzed a bit by someone else to fix some deprecated windows APIs, couple of bugs fixed, recompiled and is now 64 bit on windows server 2022. 150kloc took a day to fix for someone.

The graphics chip of the TI99/4A (TMS9918A) was turned into a separate product line for other computer manufacturers, and became hugely influential in the 1980s. Sega used it in the SG-1000 and SC-3000, which led to enhanced clones being used in the Master System, Game Gear, and Genesis. It also became part of the MSX computer standard, which spawned another lineage from Yamaha. The overall design of the graphics hardware of the NES, Game Boy, and TurboGrafx-16 are also strikingly similar despite none of those systems being descended from anything that used the TI chips.
What they really need to do is be absolutely strict about tax-exempt status for religions.

If they want to be a religion and do good works, fine.

If they want to even mention politics from the pulpit, whether working for a candidate, advocating for or endorsing a candidate, or even organizing voting like "Souls To The Polls" (i.e., this will be politically neutral and affect both sides), then your organization is fully taxable.

Insane amounts of money is in circulation in the religious sector. If it is for good works, that is wonderful. If it is being diverted to political activities, that is not something the entire set of taxpayers should be effectively subsidizing.
You keep referring to the outliers in these citations rather than referring to the ones that clearly make the point. You have done this twice already in this chain, so I do not think any number of citations will satisfy you, since you will just ignore the ones that you do not agree with.

I can confirm that the market has gotten weird in that area. In Chicagoland, the recruiters outright told me that remote is not gonna happen for those roles. I declined based on remote part and the upper range. I am not sure who they are getting at those rates, but I wish them well in their quest to lower costs.
I guess that may be true. I will definitely look into setting one up!

Agreed, it’s another treatment in a continuum of adherence— pre relations testing, barrier precautions, daily pills, semiannual injections. All running up to the eventual asymptote of cure and eradication.
The weirdest thing to me is just how scattershot this problem is. My kids are still young but I’ve got friends who are having a terrible time with this issue, and friends who have had no problem at all with their kids.

I’ve been trying to figure out if there’s some environmental factor I might leverage but I just don’t see a meaningfully obvious difference. I guess people are varied and complex.

This is great news. Allowing people access to high-quality jobs they were previously shut out of is objectively awesome.

I’m bored by the comment flamewars here every time this topic comes up, though. I get it, some people love remote work and some people don’t. Another expression of the wonderful diversity of humanity. I just did a job search and I’m happy to report that there are still many options for either in-office or fully remote teams. Pick one that suits you and stop getting your blood pressure up over this, seriously.
> Branches are not cheap to create or operate, and the large banks concentrate them in densely populated areas with relatively wealthy customers and businesses nearby. Community banks are willing to take worse economics to have branches in places where the large banks don’t; this keeps those places tied to the national financial system.

> This is a policy aim of the government, both due to the economic impacts and because most residents being banked is core to orderly provision of benefits, taxation, and other government functions. A bank branch is a retail point-of-presence for the SSA getting funds to a pensioner, for the IRS collecting payroll taxes, and for the DEA interdicting fentanyl, staffed and funded by the private sector.

From the excellent blog [1] that everyone interested in how the financial system operates should read.

Yeah, those cheering this on are missing the trees for the forest - laws with these kind of identity/age validation requirements are the path to normalizing deep bureaucratic integration with the internet at large, it's disheartening to see the TOTC[0] argument work so well here, but it's been proven to be Ol' Reliable especially w/r/t similar legislation targeting adult media companies.

As a former child with internet access who turned out Just Fine, and a strong privacy advocate, the next decade of similarly-inspired lawmaking hurts my heart. There are some good morsels in these laws like the limits on data exchange, but the pieces relying on age, identity, and rules about the presentation of site content are extremely problematic to me. Especially the last piece - I don't see how the State telling a site how its recommendation algorithms can or can't behave doesn't run afoul of the site operator's constitutional freedom of expression in determining the display of its user-generated content.

GraphQL actually holds value in my view as it gives custom SQL-like functionality instead of basic JSON APIs. With it, you can do fewer calls and retrieve only the attributes you need. Granted, if SQL were directly an API, then GraphQL wouldn't hold too much value.

Langchain has no such benefit.

Excellent news. HIV is nasty stuff. It acts sort of like an acquired genetic disorder.

It's a retrovirus, so it makes two copies of itself and replaces cellular DNA. Two RNA welded together make up DNA, so it more or less gives you the equivalent of a genetic disorder.
It took me a minute to fully get this, so I'm adding this so it's a bit more obvious for anyone else: the piece of paper is much larger than the picture/book so that it can hide the book's relative position underneath it.
“Things worked just fine over multi-tap keypad SMS” - did they though? Imagine all the time you spent as a child in front of advertising generation machines, television probably the most, and what you could have done with that time instead if they weren’t around or at the least not quite compelling.

Just because it wasn’t as bad when you were young doesn’t mean it was fine then or now. Kids need to be able to be kids, not preyed upon as revenue streams.
I helped several friends and acquaintances get their accounts back when I worked for Meta. Befriending an employee is still the best way to get traction.

[I no longer work there and do not speak for the company.]

Not a single one of those friends or acquaintances used two-factor authentication or other safety features, nor did they follow basic best-practices for keeping any online account secure.

A user != a customer. I can tell without exaggeration that almost every adult on this planet with access to the Internet has a Meta account. That's well over 4 billion people. Each of those users brings in a minuscule amount of revenue by viewing ads. In exchange for the pittance, Meta gives them tools to socialize, communicate, be entertained, market their businesses, etc. that are clearly worth many thousands of dollars to some users.

Of course they want to keep users happy and recover stolen or lost accounts (who wouldn't?), but with so many, it's impossible to help more than a tiny fraction of them. Verifying identity and matching it to account is especially difficult and time-consuming. To do it for free for everyone would be suicidal. They'd have to hire 10,000+ more people just for that with close to zero ROI. The simple fact is that Meta's users value Meta more than the value those users give Meta in return, so it's not worth it.

Apart from two-factor, premium supported accounts seem like the right solution here for regular users to balance the value trade.

> A liberal secular state must respect the will of its citizenry, whatever it is

No. A tolerant, secular, liberal state should not respect the will of its people if the will of (the majority of) its people is to become an intolerant, religious, oppressive state. It is OK -- possibly even necessary -- to have a set of core founding principals which must never be abandoned.
It's late and you may never see this but I do appreciate this post. It also reflects my own experience. The Pi2 still awful (I never encountered the first version) and I eventually put it in the electronics recycling bin.

I also like your perspective on the bigger picture here.
This is an apple's to oranges comparison. Lambda-CDM is a theory of all cosmology, including galaxy formation. The dark-matterless galaxies are a problem for Lambda CDM because they don't easily fall out of numerical simulation during formation. Supermassive black hole mergers also don't fall out of numerical simulation easily, but we still observe them.

They're not a problem for the concept of dark matter in general, since they have good agreement with the idea that the phenomenon creating dark matter appears to be a massive particle of some sort capable of being spatially dislocated from visible mass. So a theory proposing a pervasive but ill-described massive, mostly non-interacting particle may just be under-explored or the ramifications of the full scope of possible dark matter configurations (as pure mass) not explored.

It is a problem for MOND, which proposes that all matter is generating this effect which looks like dark matter (and then has an extremely poor ability to explain the rest of cosmology or work within the framework of general relativity).
I don't see a problem with this mainly because I would argue that innovation, in the early modern european era onward sense of "technologies that tend to direct the cumulative power of the many into the control of a few" captured by the infographic, isn't necessarily a net positive for humanity, and thus leaving non-western influences out of it keeps those cultures in the benefit of the doubt.

The next century or two may well see us wipe ourselves out as a species, as the great elliptic of this leverage-amplifying 'innovation' arc comes crashing back on itself..

It may well be that not innovating, in this western-dominated sense, was the right strategy for our species survival all along, and thus clamoring to be included in this narrative is to demand that non-western cultures be given a position of honor alongside the west in the story of humanity's self-destruction.
Haha, I think you have mildly violated your own rule 2! Anyway, you're right that almost any statement about nutrition and diabetes can be disagreed with and picked apart. Ultimately, nutrition is complex and highly personal and exponentially more so when metabolic disorders are at play!

Taking this specific example:

"...the specific reason T1 diabetics are advised to avoid them is because of how slowly your body breaks down carbohydrates from these foods after consuming."

In my experience most medical professionals lump all potato preparations together as "high-GI foods" and therefore advise that they will raise blood sugar much more quickly than other sources of starchy carbohydrates such as oats, whole-wheat bread, or brown rice. This is backed up by evidence that, for example, baked potatoes can have a GI of higher than 100 (i.e. they raise blood sugar faster than the same number of grams of pure glucose) [1].

Your experience seems to be the opposite, since you claim a "slow" break down. And that's backed by research also! It turns out that the GI of a potato can be drastically changed by cooking method. [2]. Boiling and then cooling a potato causes starches to first gelatinize (raising GI) and then undergo retrogradation, in which hard-to-digest "resistant starch" is reformed (lowering GI again). For those reasons, a cold potato salad (with cooked-and-cooled potato) made with new potatoes (lower GI to begin with due to higher amylose) and mixed with fats (which further reduce GI), might have a shockingly low GI compared to a fresh fluffy baked potato.

All of that to nit-pick the details of your post while agreeing with your overall thesis. This topic is extremely nuanced!

[1] Miller et al. (1992) - American Journal of Clinical Nutrition: Found baked potato to have GI of 121 ± 9

[2] Ek et al. (2012) - Food & Function: Reported GI values ranging from 56 to 94 for different preparations
If we are both in the office, and I start using my phone to send you text messages that are harassment, and/or messages to our coworkers that make fun of you, is that the companies problem?

If we are now both working from home, does that qualitatively change the situation? When working from home, what even is "outside of work"?
Iirc the intent of the past two changes was to make liable for punishment both content of sexual acts done to or by the underage victim, as well as the content where an underage victim is simply in the content in any way, posing or being unwillingly or unknowingly photographed. The latter so as to cover the problem of images (selfies, own content) being spread around, but also to cover cases of abuse that wasn't clear physical sexual abuse in the previous conception.

They did this first by adding the new b) and c) under (1.) in both 184b and 184c StBG, for posing. Subsequently they raised the minimum punishment in 2021 to make all liability under 184b a criminal liability due to the one year minimum. The only exception is the clause under ^2 that limits non-factual/non-realistic acts, think writing, art, etc. 184c remained unchanged as far as minimum punishment is concerned.

If you observe StGB 184b you'll notice that it makes it so that the liability will be imposed on anyone who distributes or otherwise makes public, obtains, offers, takes with intent or possesses that which is as described under (1.)-1-a/b/c (child content) is liable to prosecution.
Caveat here is that children (under 14) are not liable for criminal prosecution, they're Schuldunfähig. This is pretty standard EU-wide, and comes from Roman law originally.
In StGB 184c, you will find the operative clause under (1.) and the exception under (4 ), and this article is about the "youth" category, meaning underage but older than 14.
As you'll notice there, the minimum punishment is less than a year and there's the possibility of having to pay a fine.

No matter the article, in both cases, taking a selfie means you're Strafbar, liable (punishable). However, per article 12 StGB, only 184b is a crime, 184c is a misdemeanor, provided the unlawful act is punished with a sentence under 1 year or a fine, yet leaves the door open for criminal liability of a perpetrator who commits a heinous act against a 16 year old, for example. The child under 14 goes "straflos" and is criminally not liable, even in the scenario where that 14yo is a perpetrator. Those aged 14 until 18 are then subject to juvenile criminal law which focuses on rehabilitation over punishment. More importantly, remember the minimum punishment is under a year, allowing the judge to just throw it out as proportionality is nowhere to be found here, if such a case even sees the court, regardless.

So yes, technically you can take a pic of your naked self as a minor and become a criminal because of it, but only in the sense that very mundane, trivial infractions can do the same in any legal system across the world. Almost exclusively limited to it being a criminal act, as opposed to criminal charges by formal accusation from LE.
The only odd part is the broad application on self-owned content, but that seems preferable to letting abusers escape due to the previous loose application.

My ability to code is predicated on my ability to feel safe mentally and physically. What finding out I'm autistic did was kick out my legs from under me. Every time I sat down to code I couldn't. Like, I felt it was in me, but I couldn't get it out.

I used to code and commit to Github almost every day. My commit log is almost all green since 2018 when I started using Github, but if you look at the last year or so you can see where I just stopped and it goes dark.

Thankfully within the last 4 weeks or so I'm back to my normal self, so it was temporary, but I don't know what I would have done if my job had depended on my ability to code.
