> Ukrainians always insisted what they are fighting to protect the homeland.

Sorry, what do you think Russia has been up to these last two years? Just playing tiddlywinks along the border? They invaded a country with their army. And now that country has gotten sick of playing D this entire time.

So when I read your comment all I hear is "Mommmm, Jimmy hit me back, it's not faiiiiirrrruhhhh!"
At one point "search/lookup xyz on Google" was the new “RTFM”. So…sure.
Java can't do the ad-hoc mixing of types from different libraries, which is something I've wanted/needed for some ORM+expressions work I was doing. I really like where C# is going with this. Hopefully it will accelerate continuation of the evolution of Java.

I'm almost of the mind to use F# or C# instead of waiting.
Looking at the syntax in the type union proposal, I hope they take a bit more from F#. It really needs some work.
Okay but from an evolutionary sense which company should we be supporting. The one company that is somewhat moving towards privacy or the 10 others that don't give a shit. Which one should survive. Would you like to see companies that copy Apple's privacy approach or Facebook's dumb fucks approach.
We don't know if it was a panic attack though. The journalist could just be describing pessimism.

> “I have this feeling that the bottom is gonna fall out,” Fox told me.

Take this quote for example. If we take even a mildly evidence based approach, this is rational. Sometimes the bottom does just fall out of the economy. It happens around once a decade. It is entirely healthy to consider spending large amounts of money as potentially risky and consider the possible consequences.
I love this.

While we are talking Neat! glass: Ball Aerospace is where you want to focus for a sec as well.

Ball aerospace basically is the secret tech gian few know about - specifically in their high-end lenses for all the nifty spy thingies...

But the Ball Brothers did a bunch of other nifty things - my favorite being the Mason Jar.

--

What I like about this story, is how it reignites the vision I have for a stackable Mason Jar thats unbreakable such as the German glass. - but as a core packaging line.

I have a large number of mason jars as my primary drinking vessels - but I want a service, like the milk-men of olde, and have a fully functional closed loop product, package delivery infra built on high tech mason jars, stackable, made from unbreakable-ish things, inclusive of glass foams (aerogels in the walls based on 3d printing a microfoam of glass then encasing it... and having a ceramic induction coil in the base of the glass so you can use an induction coaster (of varying size) to heat/ cook that which is in the mason jar... the jars interlock so you can stack extension tubes onto them. but all based on mason jar everything. aside from the hyper stackable.

(Also I noteced that the drop science behind that beer glass is that it provides the lip for you to rest it in your hand, and its designed to not break from the angle that a drunk person most typically drops his drink - too drunk, and has a week grip - so it just slips straight down... mostly)

Whatever your personal criteria on what a continent is, historical convention bears more weight. You yourself recognize this if, despite your criteria, you're not willing to correct other people and tell them that Europe and Asia are not continents.

America was first a single continent. That's why it's not "The United States of North America" nor "The United States of the Americas". "America" in "USA" refers to the New World, like it continues to do today in the Spanish-speaking world.

> What universities typically produce is not a chemical that can serve as an actual drug, but is only a starting point for a long and expensive process of producing such a chemical

Remember you need to include all the failed attempts at finding useful things at university labs to see how much governments spend on research (just like you did failed pharma attempts), and if you add that up you see governments actually contribute a massive part of the cost to bring medicines to market.

What they produce is necessary to even begin the work pharma does, currently it is basically a gift from the people to the pharma industry.
Calling these book bans is like claiming Facebook "bans" news in Canada. They're not going to be carried by school libraries or be part of the curriculum. You're still free to read these books and give them to your kids to read. It's like saying churches "ban" the Koran because they don't teach it in church.

I agree with you but handing the power to the Executive Branch doesn't solve the problem.

The people need to demand more from their elected officials but the two parties have done an outstanding job getting us to fight with each other so we forget how the corporations are controlling everything.
> it is not possible to change the surface such that humans can live outside

Is that the stated goal? Adjusting temperature would make e.g. agriculture much easier. (It also puts us in a more-familiar domain of materials science.)

> if life were viable at that location it would already be there

There is no science to support this hypothesis.
Zillow used to have this years ago, and they dropped it. I remember using it in 2016 when house hunting. Later in 2022 I noticed they had dropped it; I'm guessing it reduced the number of home buyers.
Can anyone speak to whether public statistics are accurate or not? Can anyone reassure me that these statistics are impossible to manipulate?

I have a suspicion these statistics are only accurate and available when it is convenient for the people responsible for providing those statistics.

Isn't it the case that the police are responsible for providing statistics to the public? During the pandemic and during the George Floyd protests, there were political reasons for gathering information and using to show that A) "crime is up!" or B) "crime is actually still historically low!"

A few years ago, I was frustrated about the reporting on these statistics, and went to a variety of police web sites.

Some of the websites said: "Because of the pandemic, we are so overwhelmed by crime and everything, we cannot provide current statistics!" And, other sites said "Because of the pandemic, we are so overwhelmed by crime and everything, we cannot provide past statistics!" And, some websites just completely won't load. If a police department does not want to pay their IT person, or the company that provides it can't get their act together, the website will be down and you cannot get information directly from the police.

If you have a category of crime that is high, the police need to either fix that problem, or fix the numbers. Right?

I know that some sources of information come from the FBI. But, aren't those numbers often provided by the police?

And, in certain parts of the country were in favor of defunding the police, and certain parts of the country are filled with "Blue Lives Matters" people. Won't the police in the defund areas want to show crime is up? Won't those in regions with different sensibilities want to show their policing works? Can anyone tell me why this isn't a problem?

It is anecdotal, but aren't there areas of certain cities where the citizens have stopped reporting crimes because the police don't come anymore? How is that reflected in the numbers, if at all?

Can anyone else see a big gaping hole in how these stats are collected and used? Is there standardization across the country about these statistics?

> I continue to enjoy driving it and how much the little luxury fripperies like a really quiet ride, driver seat automatically adjusting to my preferred position, heated steering wheel, adaptive cruise control with lane following etc add to the experience.

I might be in the minority but I dread having to replace my car because I specifically don't want little "luxuries" found in new cars these days. I don't want a car that forces me to use touch screens, or will brake or accelerate on its own, or jerk the wheel under my hands, or ignore my input if it doesn't like what it thinks I'm doing, etc.

I can't complain about quiet ride, and a heated steering wheel might be nice in the winters (for what's left of them anyway), but generally I don't want anything more advanced than a backup camera and warning indicators when someone is in my blind spot or there is rear cross traffic. I suspect it'll be near impossible to find new cars that don't come with anti-features and the push to end sales of gas-powered vehicles is only going to make it harder.

array is for serializing to/from binary data. It isn't useful for returning from a library because the only way a python programmer can consume it is by converting into python objects, at which point there is no efficiency benefit. numpy has a library of functions for operating directly on the referenced data, as well as a cottage industry of libraries that will take a numpy array as input. Obviously someone might end up casting it to a list anyways, but there is at least the opportunity for them to not do that.
Ah damnit, yes you're correct. Too late to edit my comment though.

Transmission has never been found when the number of copies of the HIV RNA are below 200 copies/mL--the quantity of virus matters.

For context, the typical ejaculation from someone untreated contains between 10,000 and 1,000,000 copies/mL. With treatment, the average is 1-10 copies/mL.

I won't say I totally disagree, but I think the article overstates the position.

Two of the most important developments for ANN's were backprop and then the deep network training method. Without those we could only evolve ANN's which is much less efficient than the training methods.

If the scale argument held 100% then teams that purely focused on evolving ANN's (this is the "search" method of creating ANN's) to their target would be in the lead, but I'm not aware of anyone doing that other than smaller/hobby size projects.
On first thought, a shark would make a pretty good roadie: they don't need to shave their leg hair, for instance.

However, it appears that both basking sharks and great whites peak at only 5.5 W/kg, while professional human cyclists can sustain such output.

Sorry to be possibly non-sequiteur but does this play to the brand withdraw from Twitter and Musk's lawsuit?

If there's a guilt-by-association risk for a brand in web/url placement, and the industry at large is doing things about it, I think a competent lawyer would be taking that into the (stupid) lawsuit Musk has about collusive behaviour saying "no, this is actually a thing, and when you platform nazi ideas this is what the industry at large thinks"
Yes you can. If there's no network it will skip the check.

It's not very practical though. Better to block the address with little snitch or a hosts file
They (the government and banks) still use the phone number to authenticate you. I would not be surprised if they consider using SSNs to issue loans, etc.
It is making income disparity worse and causing problems to the larger economy, such as contributing to ballooning housing prices. Wealth accumulates with the retired and elderly, with children generally inheriting in middle age, also becoming rich old people.

For children, it would generally better if you could give them money while you are still alive and while they are at a stage of life they will benefit. Yet over here we tend to have tax and financial laws that discourage that. Or for the more radical socialist mindset, if financial security of your children is what you are after it may be better to massively tax wealth and fund proper social security.

Being raised by a single mom, who tried to stay ahead of eviction, constantly had the power shut off, and often had bare shelves in the pantry, can 100% do a number on your psyche. You never feel far away from ending up back in that situation, short of being wildly successful financially.

In short, yes you need to be concerned. Just about anything can be subject to civil asset forfeiture. Even when you can get your cash or valuables back, it can cost a princely sum, and violate your privacy as well.

I don't agree with the above statement entirely, but I do think generational wealth transfer shouldn't be as relied upon as much as it is.

I don't think it's maintainable for a society long-term.

Not that I don't understand your emotions around it, it's logical.
there is no new thing under the sun; compare Leviticus 11:22
I could travel through a rural area with an extremely high per capita crime rate but my chances of encountering ANY person (good or bad) is low. I effectively avoid crime by avoiding people.

If you live somewhere, you are forced to be a part of the community, which subjects you to the per capita rate.

Improving diversity takes a LONG time.

I think that DEI bringing to light the lack of racial, gender and ability diversity that is pervasive throughout corporate America is a huge success. That "DEI" and "pronouns" is "banned" in certain states is huge forward progress, even though it doesn't seem that way right now.

It got people thinking about this that would not have. That is how generational change starts.

For example, Basic civil rights for women and people historically discriminated against took decades to happen. Some states removed interracial marriage laws relatively recently (90s/00s), for example, despite interracial relationships existing since forever!

It took years for big OSS projects to rename their "master" trunk branches to "main." Nowadays, "master" branches look outdated and odd, and many big projects have diversity as a line item in their codes of conduct.
(I'd rather not discuss the tension described and am going to be vauge on purpose, as I work on SaaS that has multiple completing services from other providers)

Some SaaS, when operated by a vendor also selling IaaS, is sold at so low cost over the IaaS, that it doesn't matter how cheaply other vendors can build on top of that same IaaS, they could never compete on price.

They burned peat, not wood. And I think the smoke was part of the point? The article claims it kept pests out of the roof. Presumably it kept midges away too. Though obviously living with all the smoke wouldn’t be so nice.
I would be okay with this, but mostly because I had no inheritance. I'm one of those being forced to help my parents with their terrible choices, as well as my partner support her family (4 other siblings with no support structure). It's like generational debt instead for us.

I get the emotions behind wanting to leave inheritances, but we'd be better off as a society long term if we had better safety nets and systems instead.
I think we should have a national penalties fund that every single corporate penalty goes into and it specifically can only be spent on various categories of things that are for the public good, but it by popular vote in each category - (Like how we vote for new features in a game, like Manor Lord, ironically enough in such an Oligarchy as it were)...

Anyway - for each industry from which the violations occur, those resources go into these buckets where no politicians allowed - and voting will havent for a GovFundMe Campaign - and it gets funded and every single action on that thing is trackable actively by everyone who voted for the thing and a tracking status board for the implementation of them. And who needed to be shamed in order for that GovFundMe campaign to be completed.

> It's a very short-sighted thinking of how the process change they want to achieve their outcome today could result in someone else using that same process change for a very bad outcome in the future.

This point needs to be amplified to a near unbearable volume. Turn it up to 11, as it might be said.

Discussions like packing SCOTUS to achieve "desirable" outcomes today completely ignore what the next person in office can/will do with such a precedent tomorrow. We can see this already with Executive Orders and how commonplace they have become - only for the next person in office to undo most or everything.

People, in general, need to be more focused on what is best for the nation long-term, not what is best for their political party today. Unfortunately for many, it seems, the difference has become blurry or unrecognizable. So many people have become victims of believing whatever propaganda their party of choice has put out there, and become hostile to any viewpoints that do not fall inside those lines. "We'll lose our democracy if X happens or if Y is elected". How many "most important elections of our lifetime" are we going to have?

I'd rather make less money if it means more time off, as I can't really enjoy my money if I haven't time to go places worthy of spending it at. The kink in that plan is having a family that expects a certain lifestyle, while still saving away for an early retirement (that could maybe never arrive?), necessitating a higher paying job, but without as much vacation. Europe does it right, with 20 days PTO being the minimum.
