This is just my opinion, but I think a lot of it has to do with requirements.

NASA is first and foremost about prestige (even above science IMO. This is also - again my opinion - why NASA hasn't been back to the moon in 50 years. There's little prestige to be gained for an expensive operation). With prestige as the backdrop, it makes them very risk adverse. There are layers and layers of requirements made to reduce risk. To their credit, SpaceX is willing to fail more than NASA and it allows them to iterate much faster.

This is also my opinion part of the reasons why NASA wanted the CCP to begin with: it allows them to skirt many of the requirements. The somewhat ironic part is that NASA pathways to alleviate those requirements, but it's somewhat common that project/programs want to go through the waiver process and formerly accept that risk.

There is a fairly well-known dynamic in govt contracting where a contractor low-bids to get the contract and then makes money on change-orders. If they were to accurately bid on all the NASA requirements, they risk their bid being so high they would never be awarded the contract. This is a similar dynamic to the traditional cost-plus contracting paradigm.

There is also some irony in that SpaceX may be the victims of the same dynamic. As failure occur, they may layer on more requirements that ultimately slow the process down (see the supplier quality issues related to an F9 strut failure). Given enough time, there is a risk that added requirements turn them into the dinosaurs they are replacing.

Also, as others have brought up, NASA has additional requirements they must manage (e.g., political risk) that SpaceX has less exposure to.
Courts have always had oversight to some degree. Even when new statutes are written, you don't know if they can be enforced effectively until someone challenges the statute to create precedental case law validating it doesn't violate rights or anything.
> Ive been fixated on the domesticated raccoon idea since I was a child

When I was about 12, I spent a summer volunteering at an Audubon Society program. Among my other responsibilities was caring for a litter of four orphaned raccoon babies (kits).

They were just like kittens or puppies. Adorable, sweet, friendly, funny, amazing. They'd climb on you, ride on your shoulder, loved to run and play. My favorite part was their hands/feet, which were always surprisingly cool to the touch.

I desperately wanted to take one, or all four, home with me at the end of the summer.

In retrospect, I'm not sure if the Audubon Society adults had a plan, per se -- the kits were found orphaned and brought in by someone. But the stated intention was to reintroduce them to the wild at the end of the summer, when they were old enough. I'm not sure whether that happened, and not at all sure it would have been successful, but these are the harsh understandings of adulthood.

(PS: I do not have, nor have I ever had, roundworms. I do not doubt the commentariat-wisdom here, but FWIW these kits were apparently clean.)

...

We also had a great horned owl who had been at the facility for a few years, due to a permanent wing injury. He generally preferred to be left alone (and that was respected), but he greatly enjoyed being fed mealworms from (a gloved) hand.
Property taxes exist because we want to tax externalities like land use. Taxing fake wealth because you own a company and some VC assigns it a valuation is insane.

Why should you dilute your ownership share just because of some arbitrary number?

I guess that depends on what they want, and what their agreement with Steinberg is, and maybe the EULA, and maybe how much money and time they have to maintain an auth server machine.

What you’re actually complaining about is the fact that the software was remotely authorized in the first place, starting over 3 decades ago, not that it was discontinued and will stop. It’s fine and fair to be against the idea of releasing software that requires remote authorization, I’m not arguing against that idea. But if you are, then don’t buy it in the first place. Software that is remotely authorized always comes with the risk that authorization will go away, it would be pretty silly to assume otherwise.

People are not afraid of a whale dying in the middle of the ocean. Concerned, yes (maybe), but that's it.

People are very much afraid of radiation thanks to a lot of misinformation, crappy movies, and yes, also to the fact that radiation is damn scary and dangerous.

Greenpeace and the green parties, while meaning absolutely well, have been useful idiots who helped shape the public opinion against nuclear and effectively doom an incredibly clean competitor of coal, oil and gas.

Doesn't matter - time's up. Wind and solar are now a viable alternative for generation, for a small fraction of the cost of nuclear, and if the Lithium and Sodium chemistries actually hit the implausibly low costs they are thought to be destined to, storage will also be solved before a single new nuclear plant can be built in the West. Pity, we would have a substantially less fucked planet by now.
It's like those ads for coke or mcdonalds. They aren't giving anybody any new information. Instead it's to continuously put the logos, branding and name into the mind of the viewer/user. That way people should feel that brand is more familiar to them rather than all the other "unknown" brands and will be more likely to by said brand.
Same thing with the app. They get their logo/brand in your eyes every time you need to use it.

Has anglo-Canada ever been meaningfully distinct from the US ?

It is as tightly bound to the US as Puerto Rico. I can't imagine Canada adopting economic, military or cultural policies that favor US enemies without being strong-armed out of it by the US.

It is a charged question, and I mean it as a hypothetical. But countries form through common language, culture, religion, geography, interests or trauma/war. Anglo-Canada and the US have all the good things in common and no war/trauma keeping them apart.

At times, Anglo-Canadians feel more distinct from French-Canadians than they do most Americans.

Ofc, if you've been a stable nation for century+, then there's no good reason to fix what's not broken.

When you tip your server you might not know who gets it either. There are things like tip sharing and even tip pooling.
Breaking the Thermal Ceiling in Chip Design (2021)
If you can redirect the victim to a proxy via DNS poisoning you don’t need this attack you can simply pretend to be the mail server; not only that but it doesn’t actually allows you to execute this specific attack.

How this works is that you inject the commands into the plain text of the victim which requires packet racing or some other local network attack that allows you to take over the TCP stream.

How this works is that the victim sends from:, creds, to:, email content but you somehow inject starttls, from:, creds:, to: a head of it which forces the entire message from the victim to be treated as data fully so the SMTP commands are disregarded which means you will be receiving an email with their credentials.

I highly suspect that SMTP without starttls will work in the same manner, but perhaps the opportunistic encryption gives more time for this attack to be more effective.

Every other scenario requires you to be able to MITM the traffic which is pretty much already gameover.

I honestly can’t really think of a scenario where you could launch a network attack that would allow you to inject yourself in the middle in this manner that won’t allow you also to eavesdrop on credentials sent in plaintext or MITM the entire thing.

As a guy, I just never had an interest in Caltech not because I probably saw it as more of a stretch than other schools I applied to and some of which I was admitted to. For one thing, it was in California which was probably more of a practical barrier from the East than it would be today.

But it's probably fair to say that the other schools you list (including MIT) are probably seen as more "normal" than Caltech is.
I assume the people dropping 15$k on one of these to have in their house are comfortable with paying an electrician to wire it in if necessary.
I really dislike the tipping culture. Don’t get me wrong—I’m all for tipping when someone goes above and beyond. But I can't stand the expectation that a tip is mandatory, rather than something that's earned.

There was this one time at a restaurant where they completely dropped the ball. They brought me a cup of coffee but never came back to take my order, despite me asking. I ended up leaving without eating anything. Of course, I paid for the coffee, but I didn’t leave a tip.

When I mentioned this to some friends who used to work in the service industry, they all said I was the jerk for not tipping. But honestly, I don’t think I was in the wrong.

I visited Australia a while back, and I loved how their bills have a tipping line, but it’s never expected. That’s how it should be everywhere.

If you want to be pedantic, English does have distinct words for the two connotations of free--"liberal" and "gratuitous". Although it should also be immediately obvious why those words aren't preferred either: "liberal" also has several other connotations (to the point that a "Liberal Party" could be almost anywhere on the political spectrum), while "gratuitous" tends to lean more towards "unnecessary" than "free of charge" in common parlance.

Interesting that in one of the cited studies the authors are not afraid to claim that viral infections may cause autoimmune diseases, despite the fact that the potential mechanisms they list could also apply to vaccines.

"Current research suggests that several mechanisms, such as molecular mimicry, epitope spreading, and bystander activation, can cause viral-induced autoimmunity."

> A counter point to your assertion is that more sources are better, if they are not all saying the same thing and being controlled by the same few owners. Which in today's world, in the west, most certainly are. Many years ago the news was covered from multiple angles so even with few sources I felt I was getting more insight to the story due to different perspectives.

I've found ground.news to be a good tool for finding different angles on stories. Sadly it only split sources based on American left/center/right which certainly is different from where I am (South/West Europe), but better than nothing.
> but they are way too much affected by what is happening in the US

Same with Mexico, but Mexicans are nowhere near as addicted to American news (Spanish language or English language).

TBH, most people consume news as entertainment, and outside of Postmedia Network media, Canadian reporting is fairly bland and boring.

Also, having spent some of my youth in rural and urban BC, in most cases purely Canadian television media didn't even really exist - everyone would be watching either a reskin of an American channel (Family Channel aka Disney) or an American channel (CNN, PBS, Fox).

Sure you had CBC but it was filled with ads and never talked about local issues anyhow.

That said, Western Canada is for all intents and purposes the exact same as Washington/Montana/Alaska - almost everyone in BC, AB, and the territories has at least 1 close relative who's an American or immigrated to America, and the only difference was that signs were occasionally in French, BC Ferries had a tiny portrait of Queen Elizabeth tucked in a random corridor next to a portrait of Harper or Trudeau, and Costco served poutine and charged 2x for milk and goods compared to the one in Bellingham
Idk, maybe my LLM detention isn’t good enough, but this doesn’t read like LLM writing to me. The jokes are just-subtle enough to land, and the points are unexpected-yet-slightly-convincing.

I don’t know enough to comment on the Hygiene / Old Friends hypothesis, but anecdotally it seems like almost everyone I know now has an allergy or autoimmune disorder of some sort.

After giving birth, my sister suddenly developed something similar to celiac disease (but not quite the same; I don’t think doctors ever figured out exactly what it is) to where she can’t eat grains and a few other types of food as well. I used to get eczema occasionally, but now it seems to have morphed into a permanent rash that continuously moves to different locations over my body. And my wife had food allergy testing done a couple of years ago due to constant stomach pain and has now eliminated chocolate, seafood, peaches, and many other foods from her diet.

It’s bizarre. We really need to figure out what’s going on before everyone has a diet prepared by their pharmacist alongside all of the pills needed to cope with their autoimmune pain.

There are between 4-7 major subcountries in Canada (for reference, the US has 11 of them) depending on how you count them.

Those are the West (everything west of Upper Canada), Upper Canada (triangle formed by Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal), Lower Canada (Quebec), and the Maritimes.

If you're going more granular, you have Newfoundland, which is very different from the rest of the Maritime provinces (they have their own dialect of English), the North (sparsely populated but the kind of Canadian that lives there is different), and to a point Vancouver and Vancouver Island.

Of those, the West is functionally the Midwest (Vancouver and Island are not meaningfully distinct from Seattle/Portland/Bay cities in terms of politics) where each province is flavored towards the State to its immediate south, Upper Canada is culturally NYC-DC North (and for that reason is as hostile to the rest of the country as NYC/DC are to the US in general), Lower Canada is French (obviously), and the Maritimes are the Rust Belt.

The reason for Upper Canada's insularity (and to a point, Lower Canada's) is its age and geography: as the US found out in 1812 it's very difficult to reinforce across the Great Lakes. As for the West, there might as well be no border at all, so commerce and culture move freely (it also helps that, because plentiful natural resources and space causes a freedom-focused outlook on human rights, most people who live in the West will naturally have that in common with their southern counterparts).

I would also throw Slack in with Discord. A lot of my vendors have public Slack instances where I can ask the same question with a much better audience.
Then they could give free food to countries that are experiencing short-term famine through natural or man-made disasters. In such a situation, consumers are helped and producers aren't really able to increase production in response to the high price - hence a famine.
> Germany's gas generation has indeed been flat while nuclear and coal is being phased out, so I guess you've very strongly proved my point.

That graph shows domestic generation falling by more than 100TWh and being replaced by "nothing" -- which is to say nothing shown on that graph, because now instead of generating and exporting electricity they're importing it:

Luckily we do not have to rely on opinion. Take this 1204x800 real-world photo which is less than 80KB: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/link-u/avif-sample-images/...

That's slightly less than half the height and width of your phone's screen respectively, so a decent representative of a model photo dimensions (which are usually widgets smaller than the screen).

Model images would compress much better as they are edited to be much cleaner with smoothed solid colors and either solid or transparent backgrounds, and for something like a toothbrush you'd have an incredibly narrow image geometry making the final image likely much smaller.

Even if you'd consider this image too small or too low resolution, bumping those would not push us past 150 or maybe maximum 200KB.
