One thing I don't understand: In over two decades of ISS operation, there apparently was never time to do a zero-g pregnancy experiment on mice or other small mammals. Zach/Kelly Weinersmith mentioned this in an interview with Sean Carroll on Mars colonization: https://youtube.com/watch?v=dJqr_cCi9tM

If it turned out that mice can't properly reproduce in the zero-g environment of the ISS, it would be very likely that (much heavier) humans can't properly reproduce in the low-g environment of Mars. Which would be a very important thing to figure out. Perhaps more important than the mostly psychological Mars simulation project.

One of the things about battle.net though was that pirated StarCraft copies couldn't connect to it. Battle.net thus served as an "effective" copyright protection device -- circumvention of which is illegal under the DMCA. This has been tested in court, and the court found in favor of Blizzard. So yes, a judge has ruled that reversing the Battle.net protocol is a DMCA violation. That's why the bnetd.org domain was awarded to Blizzard (though a US court could not prevent the distribution of bnetd outside the USA).

Well, to be fair the probability that my input data or my jq code has bugs might even be higher...

Yeah, the 2 characters deferred to the fq name. The jqjq README has a link, however without mentioning what it is about.

Tweakers.net mentioned in their podcast a few weeks back that they had this, but that people hated the player and it was a lot of work maintaining the back-end hosting thing. I don't understand what they need beyond Nginx with an FTP drive (or whatever WYSIWYG tool they also use for uploading images with the news article) and add `<video src=your.hls></video>` into the article. Browser does the rest of the work. In the Flash era this was different but that's been a while

So I don't know the answer to our question either but according to them we're overlooking something
The Economist just launched a new podcast, "Boom!", on why boomers, as a generation, have been holding an "iron grip" on major US institutions.

The first episode is free on YouTube: https://youtu.be/QEy9RO7bEJ8 -- I listened to it today, I thought it was pretty good. It digs into the history of a very important political year of boomers' lives: 1968. And it started to answer why the demographics of US political institutions skew so much toward people in their 70s and 80s (and, occasionally, 90s).

Recent data visualization on that: https://github.com/amontalenti/home/assets/40263/c21a34e4-2c...

This is the Thiel quote I'm reacting to here: "What I would add to Mark's summary is that, in a healthier society, the handover from the Boomers to the younger generations should have started some time ago (maybe as early as the 1990s for Gen X), and that for a whole variety of reasons, this generational transition has been delayed as the Boomers have maintained an iron grip on many US institutions. When the handover finally happens in the 2020s, it will therefore happen more suddenly and perhaps more dramatically than people expect or than such generational transitions have happened in the past."

Hi,

These days when I do literature reviews for the trending research, I find that most of the useful models need insane amount of GPU to train. As a student in a small lab, we are lack of GPU power.

The decent thing to do in that situation would be to refrain from publishing the image unless there were public interest grounds for doing so.

> wikipedia is not a reliable source

Wikipedia is as good as anything else.

As an example, I frequently use Wikipedia to read about history, computer science topics (e.g. how to implement an algorithm), or scientific topics.

The exception is current events, but even then, I suspect that Wikipedia is not any more biased than the news.

I'm open to having my mind changed, though.

> As a result of this history and success, there is a certain sense in which Mark Zuckerberg has been cast as the spokesman for the Millennial generation

I’ve had a few interactions with Thiel. Like other megalomaniacs I know, they all have this tendency of speaking in these very strong macro generalities about humanity or society with absolutely no justification with any type of hypothesis testing, statistics, or any type of actual measurable research

Like this is quite a claim frankly, to say that an entire generation worldwide is looking towards the richest capitalist as a moral guide for society

Then going on to make all these ridiculous “..and therefore” arguments that just accept the premise

It’s frankly absurd and indicative of how this class of owners views the rest of the world. And to be clear for the most part, they are not hiding these perspectives and it’s not new historically with political dominionists (of which Thiel is one and a strong supporter of fascists like Trump)

They’re very aggressively, pushing this idea that there are genuinely different classes of people have power differentials respectively because of their positioning and access.

To the extent where they view their role as managing global perceptions of their own power distribution and how they’re managing to pull power from cross society and consolidated into the hands of their elite friends via classic propaganda and nudge based manipulation for power:

“Nick -- I certainly would not suggest that our policy should be to embrace Millennial attitudes unreflectively. I would be the last person to advocate for socialism. But when 70% of Millennials say they are pro-socialist, we need to do better than simply dismiss them by saying that they are stupid or entitled or brainwashed; we should try and understand why.”

It’s ironic to see these clowns talking about the impending overthrow of the elites, not recognizing that they are precisely the people that are about to have their metaphorical “King Charles I” moment coming soon - brought to you by the rapidly organizing labor force.
Then you should definitely read as it is contains stuff mostly very unconnected with their public speeches. In particular you can say Thiel kinda defending socialism which is funny.

Beyond showing just how much influence Mr. Thiel has on Mr. Zuckerberg (referring to efforts behind the commencement speech as 'we'), I didn't glean anything from these e-mails. They seemed rather devoid of meaningful content.

Perhaps this is a poor assessment due to my recent reading of Ben Franklin's private correspondence, and comparing one to the other might not make sense. It did, however, remind me of so much corporate and PR correspondence which is all but designed to be as inspid as possible.

The saving grace, I suppose, is that these individuals probably did not intend to publicize these e-mails. Then again, neither did Mr. Franklin.

If sampling time is effecting mice, good luck with Human Studies. It is not easy to get human gut microbiome samples in clinical trials especially when they are already suffering from disease.
Even with longitudinal studies, patients can skip donating samples. Making it difficult to compare. Also diet (big factor) and genetics can impact your microbiome.
Having said that, I am big fan of longitudinal microbiome studies with good metadata collection such as time of sample collection, Bristol stool scale, and diet(this is very difficult to quantify).
The problem with King Charles was he kept on doing stupid things and not recognizing what could happen to him. Thiel seems smarter to understand that and might wanna go the route of James II when the time comes (off course these are all just broad analogies)

When comparing the alternatives:

- money based on which loans bankers will grant (e.g. the status quo)

- money based on ensuring that people's basic needs are met such that they're able to take on more economic risks with their free time (re: starting businesses and such)

What do you suppose the merits of the former are?

It's not about altruism, it's just about what works best. I think there's a lot of evidence to be found by just looking around that the former isn't working especially well. The only thing holding the latter back is buy-in, and if things continue to deteriorate there will have to come a point where giving it a try makes more sense than continuing to base our money on arbitrary decisions made by people we don't trust.

MapBox which is super popular, and probably the #2 solution is built on OSM too.
There was a fundamental lie / delusion at the heart of the claim. The second thing a trade deal with another country implies "allow more of our nationals to migrate, and make it easier for them to come over". (The first thing is obviously: "let our products in".)

And this can be seen from the raw numbers too. Before brexit, the annual net migration to UK was about 300k. After brexit, the annual net migration to UK is ~700k.[0] (745k in 2022, 680k in 2023.) And quite a bit of that from the fresh trade partners.

The best way I have heard anyone describe the disaster that's Brexit was as "nostalgic self-immolation for the population who still dream of the Britain where faces were white, passports were blue, and the map was Imperial Pink."

OSS dev might be a bad example. OSS is often an internal product that is opened up to gain free OSS labor. Most often, the position would exist within the company if it were OSS or not. In other words, it is something the company is working on regardless of OSS or private codebase
I'm not sure the two articles are about the exact same thing, or that either actually explains the upside and downsides of the proposed changes.

Moving away from per kWh production subsidies/guaranteed minimum prices/contract for difference is considered good by energy wonks because it means the renewables developer needs to think about how to sell into a market with lots of renewables. A solar project that only producing during the day at will at some point earn very little in midsummer due to price competition from all the other solar, so guaranteeing them a minimum price is sub optimal. Though already contracts usually have clauses about not paying out if there are hours of zero prices.

The second article is about a mis-estimate of how much money they needed to put aside from government budgets this year because they assumed the Ukraine situation would keep gas prices higher for longer.

So good news for everyone that it's lower, except the government that had to top up renewables developers not getting the agreed rate on electricity sales. If they pay out an extra 9 Billion then the German economy has saved a multiple of that in lower electricity prices, and probably a larger multiple again on gas for non electrical needs.
> I do believe that it should be a mandate for the municipality to provide meeting space for local non-profit and special interest groups.

I never realized this was something that was needed so bad, but yeah. In my city we have a bunch of privately owned venues that you can rent, but the cost ranges from reasonable to very not reasonable. To be fair, a lot of my local technical meetups just hang out at one of the quieter restaurant/bars in the area and it seems to work ok for them. The downside is you don't have any way to present anything. Another group I regularly go to is a local DefCon chapter that rents out space above a "barcade" (arcade + bar) and aside from being a bit hot in the summer, the vibes are great and the community doubly so.
> DPR was already proclaimed by then, and I believe most of these comandos were on Ukrainian passports ATM.

Ukrainian citizenship doesn't prevent one from serving Russian interests. As the ECHR concluded after reviewing facts, there is no reason to consider the people who started the war in Eastern Ukraine as distinct from Russian armed forces. Russian government brought together the people, equipped them, gave them goals to fulfill, and supported them in any way they could. Likewise, the Freedom of Russia Legion is without any doubt a part of Ukrainian armed forces despite consisting mainly of defected Russians.

> Then why all the whining?

It's you and your Führer who are constantly whining how everyone humiliates and deceives you. Just a few days ago, he came up with a new sob story - that the assault on Kyiv failed not because of successful counterattacks at Hostomel and Irpin, but because western countries deceived Russia into a ceasefire that they dutifully followed. How can you listen to that and not think "what a moron"?

> No - that's just siding with your country and your people.

That's what Nazis and their supporters thought too when they rallied around Hitler. Hitler didn't act in Germany's best interests and nor does Putin act in Russia's best interests. The longer it takes you to recognize it, the deeper hole you will have to crawl out from. It's great irony that revenge has put you on track of repeating the 1990s.
In Portugal it’s used quite a lot in the south in pork dishes, in a kind of bread soup (açorda) and also in a famous clam dish (bulhão pato-style clams). In the north it was very hard to find until 2 or 3 decades ago, and parsley is used a lot more.

My point is that they are seprate traits (albeit with sone correlations).

Socially anxious people don't gain energy by "behaving" like extroverts. Being an extrovert is not a behaviour.
