Doesn't work from Australia either, so apparently the Commonwealth can get fucked. I imagine some middle-ranking civil servants at the FCO will, in a not-too-distant-future, be expressing a measure of dismay to their Home Office counterparts. Before which time, hopefully, the gov.uk folks will figure out how to selectively block access to live reporting channels, not the entire police service, in response to vexatious abuse.

Prank emergency calls from children have been a hassle since time immemorial, and I see these circumstances as entirely corresponding, merely at scale; I'd even express surprise if this is a first for online British police channels.
The horror stories are overblown by people who are either trying to spin a lie or some other farcical story to claim "America bad".

If you have insurance, which you would because you'd have a job and not be a bum, your insurance would cover mostly everything. You have out of pocket maximum which dictate how much you are limited to pay for which is marginal at best.

The people who get $50k medical bills are lying and if they call the billing departments, they apply 80% self pay discounts which bring the fees in line with having insurance. More so, every state has low/no income programs which cover everything.

The nice thing about America is you don't need to go to a GP who will refer you. If you want to visit a urologist for a problem, you call a urologist, schedule an appointment and show up. You can be seen as early as that week of an appointment is open or most of the time as soon as the following week.

Going in network with your insurance provides the best cost/benefit ratio and of all of the insurance coverages I get, even with shit high deductible ones I still get access to research and specialty hospitals.

Consequently , nurses and doctors are better paid and have far better attitudes towards care in America. Every nurse and doctor I met in thE UK and Canada were truly miserable and over worked.

Private care in the UK is cheaper compared to the US but the US subsidizes the vast majority of medical advancements through it's over priced medical system that if it didn't exist, the advancements European countries take advantage of would disappear. Personally, I'd love to American companies get panelized tax wise in America when they are told by foreign country regulators what they can sell X drug for on their countries when the price isnt in line with the free market. They should walk or be taxed for selling at a discount but that's a different argument.

The title has been changed to "Police can’t stop sideshows. Solution: Make the streets more annoying" at the Standard.

I'm guessing people complained about "nerds" in the original title?
None, which is my point. I'm trying to say I suspect it's ground clearance, not locking differentials that matters on these roads.
Contrary to popular belief, you still "pay" for health insurance in the UK and Canada, it just comes out of your paycheck and numbers wise it's still the same.

The exception is you don't have copays and deductibles but those aren't ever arduous and now that I've been using HSAs, it's negligible and a great hack at investing which is really what I use it for.

three other siblings are believed to have had cancer). This makes it
likely there is a familial component to the development of the disease.

I was wondering if the diet had the nutrition bits figured out. Vitamins, minerals and fatty acids along with fiber just seem very hard to fit into 800-900 kcals. I suspect they are either adding them in supplement form or the soup/shakes had the ingredients selected just so. Also, I wonder what the taste of the shakes/soups are like. If they taste horrible sticking with it may be difficult. Especially, if the person switching to this has a current habit of eating foods that are very salty, sweet or oily.

This is comment is needlessly inflammatory and is not informative of how biomedical research is conducted.

First, it’s important to point out to the lay reader that the reason researchers frequently use mice strains in the first place is not “to cut corners”; it as an attempt to manage the incredible variability inherent in biology, especially when one moves to complex systems like living mammals. If the mice in a study have the same genetic background, then it far more likely the effect under study can be observed, and not otherwise buried in the noise as it would if wild mouse strains were used. Using a common mouse strains helps compare studies across different areas of research too. It’s the same reason why so much research is done using HeLa cells. Your post gives the lay reader the impression the researchers were being irresponsible; rather than just using a common strain to demonstrates their point.

Second, you apparently weren't being too much of a "hard core' reader (or least explainer to the lay reader) because if you had you would highlight this bit in the Methods section that list the multiple mouse models used:

1. C57BL/6J

2. Gabrd-/- mice on a C57BL/6J background

3 Pvalb-IRES-Cre mice

4. B6.Cg-Gt(ROSA)26Sortm14(CAG-tdTomato)Hze/J

5. ApoE4-TR:5xFAD mice

These are not stock C57/Bl6 mice and do carry specific mutations.

Finally, as the second half of your post acknowledges and the paper demonstrates, different strains are being used in AD research. There are entire centers dedicated to developing specific mouse strains, many with humanized genes, to attempt to capture specific mutations known to be present in humans, some on C57 background, but many others that are not. Jackson labs has developed several as has several other prominent groups in the field [1].

Lastly, I have no idea if this paper is any good.
> At the time we did not auto-scale any of our containerized services and were spending a lot of unnecessary money to keep services provisioned such that they could always handle peak load, even on nights and weekends when our traffic is much lower.

Huh? You've been running on AWS for how long and haven't been using auto scaling AT ALL? How was this not priority number one for the company to fix? You're just intentionally burning money at that point!

> While there is some support for auto-scaling on ECS, the Kubernetes ecosystem has robust open source offerings such as Keda for auto-scaling. In addition to simple triggers like CPU utilization, Keda supports scaling on the length of an AWS Simple Queue Service (SQS) queue as well as any custom metrics from Datadog.

ECS autoscaling is easy, and supports these things. Fair play if you just really wanted to use CNCF projects, but this just seems like you didn't really utilize your previous infrastructure very well.

Anyway I didn’t address the “meme” part of this post - what, IYO, is the meme here? The rent to income ratio is not remotely disputable, and I don’t think “la is too expensive to live on a typical income” is that hot of a take. It is. I’ve lived there my whole life. People are leaving in droves, and that’s backed by the data in this very thread.

So what’s the meme data here? are you disputing the rent to income ratio statistics? because you’re quoting them here. Are you claiming that a 1:2 rent to income ratio in a high cost of living state is actually fine? because that could be a legitimate meme on its own.
Obviously the billionaire and not the state that would kill me if it had the chance.

IRC is terrible for work collaboration. I say this as a long time IRC user. Conversations are not searchable, and if you're offline you are unable to follow along with what's going on with your colleagues. To make it anywhere near usable, you need to run IRC bouncers, chat loggers, search indexers .. at that point, just use something made for collaboration.

I don't like Blink 182, but there have been many times when a band I would have liked to see was in my city and I didn't find out until too late. LiveNation has a feature to warn you about upcoming concerts but it doesn't work well in my experience.

Honestly, it would be really nice to have actual useful advertising like this, but instead we mostly get abusive and intrusive advertising.

Vulkan Compute's semantics are limited by SPIR-V and thus cannot implement all of the features CUDA provides (ex. there is no proper notion of a "pointer")

Also it's much more convenient to use plain C++ rather than a custom shading language, especially if you're writing complex numerical code or need some heavy templated abstractions to do powerful stuff. And the CUDA tooling itself is just much easier to use compared to Vulkan, with its seamless integration of host / device code.

There’s a ton of middle ground between a fully managed cloud like AWS and building your own hyperscaler datacenter like Facebook.

Renting a few hundred cabinets from Equinix or Digital Realty is going to potentially be hugely cheaper than AWS, but you probably need a team of people to run it. That can be worthwhile if your growth is predictable and especially if your AWS bandwidth bill is expensive.

But then you’re building on bare metal. Gotta deploy your own databases, maybe kubernetes for running workloads, or something like VMware for VMs. And you don’t get any managed cloud services, so that’s another dozen employees you might need.
> Why would you run sketchy software on your computer in the first place?

Most people don't run sketchy software on their computer intentionally. Typically they are fooled or are otherwise unaware. The vast majority of people who use computers do not have the ability to accurately determine whether or not software is "sketchy" all by themselves. They need the help of others. This is that.

I started with kubernetes and have never looked back. Being able to bring up a network copy, deploy a clustered database, deploy a distributed fs all in 10 minutes (including the install of k3s or k8s) has been a game-changer for me.

You can run monolithic apps with no downtime restarts quite easily with k8s using rollout restart policy which is very useful when applications take minutes to start.

>Contextual ads wouldn’t require tracking as it’s just advertising based on the page context

This sounds similar to the "you might also be interested in..." ads/recommendations you see on Amazon or Aliexpress. Those are actually pretty useful at times. If I'm looking at product X from brand A, and it shows me there's a competing product X from brand B, that's lower priced or a better product, that's useful. Or a product that works with the one I'm looking at. Of course, these aren't 3rd-party ads: these are just more products being advertised to you by the shopping site you're already browsing and looking for product X on, and not too different from going to a physical store and finding similar products placed next to each other.
Indeed. Some of us do it because we stubbornly want to see just how fast we can make a “slow” language go.
