It’s very typical to report to a site’s host or provider on a specific page under the DMCA. The way this works is that the host will ask you to take down the page, and if you don’t, the host needs to take action or they become liable. This is conceptually covered as “DMCA safe harbor”, and the rules around it protect service providers from liability of their clients actions.

AWS has a well-oiled machine for these kinds of complaints, but some registrars are located in corners of the earth and getting a line of communication to them is challenging. Notion’s worst outage to date happened because of a breakdown of forwarding complaints between a complainant, our DNS NIC in Somalia (.so), and the middlemen between us and Somalia - NameCheap, then some company in Germany who dropped the ball.

- I worked on UB Berkeley’s systems for handling takedown notices for infringing clients (students running BitTorrent in their dorms), we got lots of lectures on our legal duties as employees of CA state institutions

>There is zero chance that comment is going to be seen if its just in a commit message,

I never suggested using a commit message, there are plenty of other ways to document these things and I'll leave that up to the user to figure out.

So now you've written this tome of a comment in package.json. What happens the next time someone installs a package using npm install? package.json gets rewritten, that's what. Your comment will be gone. I suppose you expect npm to somehow use AI to guess at how to rewrite package.json so it can put your comments in the correct places??

And expecting someone to read package.json before updating or installing a library is just as useful as putting it in a commit message. If you really need to be careful about dependency versioning, you better have more safeguards in place than just a comment in package.json.

>I simply cannot think of another file format that is used for configs that doesn't support comments.

I mostly see configs created as .js or .ts files, where comments are allowed. Not package.json. Never package.json, because package.json is guaranteed to be rewritten regularly. But maybe you missed that part of your bootcamp class? Yes, .js files can be used as "config". It's been done in plenty of projects. It isn't the end of the world. JSON also isn't solely used for configs or data that needs comments, in fact the majority of use cases in the world for JSON won't need any comments at all so writing comments in package.json is kind of an edge-case.

>I simply cannot think of another file format that is used for configs that doesn't support comments.

JSON isn't only a config file format. It's primary use is data transfer.
Exploring Longevity Research: What We Know (and Don't)
It’s true that much of longevity research is still based on animal models, and findings often don’t translate cleanly to humans. For example, caloric restriction is frequently studied, but results vary wildly—positive effects in rodents haven’t been consistently replicated in primates.

That said, there’s promising work happening beyond traditional methods. One recent study suggested that visceral fat might play a larger role in brain health and aging than previously thought. This connects longevity to something actionable: reducing visceral fat through diet and exercise, which has measurable short-term impacts even if the long-term effects take decades to fully study.

I’ve been following this topic through longer., a newsletter that distills longevity science. It’s been a great resource for staying updated without getting overwhelmed.

What’s your take? Are there areas of longevity research you think are closer to breaking through into something practical?

eloquent. celebrating someone's death is base, but oddly forgivable in some cases for its relative honesty. the people who "abhor violence" and appeal to some imagined sense of shame always seem insincere to me. as though affecting disgust could elevate them above something they are mostly both incapable of and at the mercy of.

there's a reflexive self-serving lie some people reach for when they "condemn violence," and I think it reveals a deceptive instinct. they have no problem with it being done on their behalf and for much lesser offenses. I guess if there's one thing reasoning with violence cures you of it's sanctimony.

what the effect of the killing of this CEO (literally, a symbol, his job is all anyone remembers about him) more closely resembles is the idea of a Girardian scapegoat, where the tensions in the society are so unresolvable, it's going to start sacrificing individuals to let off the tension so it can cohere again. that's about as american and human as it gets. six weeks ago the US was on the edge of a civil war. today, less so. it's sad for the guys family, but maybe there is comfort for them in the sheer randomness of it. to me the killer and his manifesto are not meaningful. the popular hatred of the insurance business is not meaningful. they are as random as a car crash, a robbery, or a stroke.

I'm saying that affecting outrage or shock at violence is as morally culpable as celebrating the death of a stranger, because they both reveal a latent weakness and lack compassion or fortitude.

Doesn't people that have money to buy premium electric cars also live in more modern homes? At least in better homes.
There's always delivery.
For the purposes of this analogy, yes.

The "work" is losing access to your money. You're foregoing the ability to buy nice material things today, in exchange for investing in a business so that they can use your funds to do something productive with it instead. Real work does actually happen at other end of the exchange.

On top of that, there's the risk that a business you invest in might fail, and you lose all of that money permanently. You earn a premium for accepting that risk.

After 10+ years (market downturns historically can last up to a decade, so you need to be prepared not to access your funds for a long while in the worst case) you can start getting that money back. That's the fruit from the tree.

The only thing that's different is that with an index fund is that you're investing in hundreds of companies, rather than individual ones. Which you should be doing anyway in order to mitigate the risk of any one company failing.
> Science is not based on consensus seeking.

No, but as non-experts in a given field, the best information we have to go on is the consensus among scientists who are experts in the field.

Certainly this isn't a perfect metric, and consensus-smashing evidence sometimes comes to light, but unless and until that happens, we should assume that the people who study this sort of thing as their life's work are probably more correct than we are.
They weren't lying, but it was the wrong thing to say. They had a list of suspects and they may have had high confidence that one of them was their guy. But they couldn't know that at least until they took someone into custody.

So one of the problems is indeed that insurers have conflicting incentives, as you correctly described one of them, and it's possible (although I don't know enough to argue either way) that ACA actually made this worse. I think one of the big arguments for a single-payer system, or at least the "public option," is that those middlemen could (ideally, in theory) embrace the position they're in to fight for lower costs without the conflicting incentives that come with being a for-profit entity. I guess that's basically what Noah Smith (author of the parent's linked article) is saying in his conclusion. There are, of course, other arguments for and against. Healthcare is a fascinatingly (and maddeningly) complex problem.

Thanks for catching my mistake and updating. I misread earlier comment.
Now, why doesn’t the United States have universal public healthcare? Because every time it’s been proposed since the 19th century there’s been stiff opposition from doctors, hospital owners, and private insurance companies. So while it’s true that they didn’t start the problem, it’s fair to blame all of them for the problems of a system they’ve poured enormous amounts of money into preserving.

MOND isn't dark matter.

The idea of dark matter is that the problem is caused by matter we can't see.
We assume the standard equations and from the rotation of the galaxies we have some missing mass. But we have a few equations, like gravitational lens, where we also can meassure missing mass and we can compare the results of the different methods. There are a few examples in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_Newtonian_dynamics#Ou...

MOND is an alternative solution to the same problem.

I expect that most people working in dark matter are astronomers an cosmologist. I don't expect many particle phycicist realy care about dark matter. I've seen a lot of claim of particle phycicist that their new pet theory may be the dark matter, but it's mostly overhype to try to get more grant money.
There's still a pretty big difference between violence against random innocents and violent "revenge" against a powerful force. I'm sure people would also be thrilled if an insurance bigwig got sent to prison, or tarred and feathered, or humiliated in some other way.
I don't know the proper terminology, but I think there's a similar legal concept of: "I'm suing you for the damages, if it was someone you contracted with who is really at-fault, you can sue them in turn. The indirect cause is not-my-problem, and I might not even be able to go around you even if I wanted to."

Sometimes this manifests in odd ways, like lawsuits between loving family members in order to activate some sort of insurance-claim.

> High intake of sweetened beverages was associated with higher risk for most of the studied outcomes, for which positive linear associations were found. In contrast, a low intake of treats was associated with a higher risk of all the studied outcomes.

Not sure what to make of this -- some kind of other latent explanation (e.g. that many of those with the lowest intake of treats were on a diet due to bad health?).

From the discussion section:

> One aspect to take into consideration is however that there is a social tradition of “fika” in Sweden, where people get together with friends, relatives, or coworkers for coffee and pastries (41). Thus, one could hypothesize that the intake of treats is part of many people's everyday lives without necessarily being related with overall poor dietary or lifestyle patterns, and that it might be a marker of social life.

Prevent DDoS at Kernel Level
We are building a lightweight ebpf kernel level firewall to effectively mitigate ddos, manage network congestion/latency. It works by throtlling packets per IP per second and also monitoring new connections and dropping if they are from bad actors. Also support ip blacklist, greylist and whitelist.

This should be able to work with any existing firewall like nftables, iptables running on a linux kernel (version > 5.1).

The current offerings are:

- Dyanmic Adaptive Kernel level packet rate limiter. Prevent DDoS.
- Seamlessly integrate with existing firewalls and IDS/IPS
- Ensure operational efficiency
- Create global IP Whitelist, Blacklist and GreyList.
- Redirect packets to different IP/interface
- Build network traffic optimizer
- Build optimal network load balancer
- Block Bots and other bad traffic
- Avert Cyber Attacks Efficiently

If you would like to discuss, check out a quick demo or provide feedback, please let me know.

Happy to provide a trial version with your custom config.

Thanks,
