Hackclub is currently running a program for high schoolers until January 31st where time spent working on hobby projects is rewarded with prizes.

That spinning hat is pretty cool. When cells breath they create a byproduct (Reactive Oxygen Species) - all cells do this, they need to keep their ROS levels in check else the cell will die, but because cancer cells have messed up mitochondria, they don't do this correctly and typically end up with way more ROS. That hat agitates the cells so they produce more ROS, but because the cancer cells are almost at capacity, it overloads them and they die from ROS strangulation.

The wallwart for the router is going to be a dead simple design that doesn't in the least bit care about how dirty the sine wave is. It goes into a step-down transformer (12VAC usually), into a bridge rectifier (now 12VDC), add some decoupling caps to smooth out the 12V. Inside the router, there will be LDOs that bring that voltage down to something usable along with more decoupling caps to filter the input and output of the LDO. LDOs have high ripple rejection especially at low frequencies so they can take on pretty dirty voltages.

Unless that little dip on the supply is constantly happening, I highly doubt that's causing any of the issues. That dip could be from in-rush current or from the router powering up, both of which would be happening before any data transfer. It means nothing without any sort of voltage or time scale.
Thanks for your message. My friend's getting TTF as part of his medical treatment. CEGAT Vaccine, I didn't know about, I'll look into it.

Several people have mentioned keto diet, it also looks like a smart thing to try.
That is the definition of exploitation: The incarcerated firefighters have no better option, so they are compelled to take wages and conditions that nobody else would consider taking (evidence: the governemnt can't find people to freely take those wages and conditions).

There's no reason these people shouldn't be paid as much as others doing the same work. Californians complain about the fire response (with some propaganda thrown in, as is the case for everything these days), but are so cheap, so unwilling to pay, they they have to take people out of prisons and exploit them - for firefighting! This isn't cleaning highways; the consequences are overwhelming.

If Calinfornians won't pay for it, it's really their own problem.

My 1987 Toyota 4x4 pickup had such an interlock. It also had a switch to disable the interlock, allowing you to start the truck in gear. A very useful feature when you were stalled on a very steep hill offroad. Starting in 1st gear, low range basically turned it into an electric car for a few seconds :-)
The occurrence of GBM is about 3 out of every 100,000 people. If you happen to know 4, is there some commonality? Do you all work together in the same industry? Do they all live in the same town?

Sorry friend, there no hacks from brain cancer. Mortality rate at Stage 4 is 100%. You're better off spending as much time as you can with them.
One is something you were born with and cannot change, and the other is a choice of lifestyle you make.

Do you have a citation for the rationality of e^pi - pi?

What damages do the plaintiffs claim? Our society seems to think an individual's privacy is both essential (in some civil rights issues or medical information, for example) but worthless (no damages for violating it).

Is there a legal standard anywhere for assessing damages for privacy violations? The EU?

How about the cost of being made whole - eliminating this data from everywhere. Does that sound difficult or expensive? Maybe you should be more careful when handling people's data. Businesses handling explosives are usually very careful, for example.
Ah, I see what you mean. Yeah I think it comes from a place of viewing increase in VRAM as relatively low cost and therefore an artificial limitation of sorts used to differentiate between consumer and workstation products (and the respective price disparities).

Which may be true although there are more differences than just VRAM and I assume those market segments have different perceptions of the real value Gamers want it cheaper/faster, institutions want it closer to state of the art, more robust to lengthy workloads (as in year long training sessions), and better support from nvidia. Among other things.
Sorry to hear about your friend; awful for both of you.

Anything you can build or brew at home? About as good as chanting spells at the moon on alternate Tuesdays. And definitely do NOT go get infected with some virus, which will only create greater complications and misery.

The only real chance I'd see out there is to get into a trial of some of the new immunotherapy treatments [0]. These create custom profiles and turn the body's immune systems against the cancer and have had some stunning successes — talk about biohacking — these researchers are out there!

Of course these are still in development. There is a lot of research going on around Boston [1-5], Mayo Clinic [6], and other research hotbeds.

Locating teams researching therapies applicable to your friend's cancer type, and hacking your way into one of those trials would likely be one of your best hacks ever; I'd focus on that. Gather the info, find out what it takes to get into the trials, get your friend qualified...

Best of luck - I hope you can organize a great recovery for your friend!

I read these three books last year and I believe that each would be interesting to you:

Undaunted Courage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undaunted_Courage

This is about doing something extremely hard with a huge amount of unknowns, and the type of person it takes to succeed.

How Big Things Get Done https://www.amazon.com/How-Big-Things-Get-Done/dp/0593239512

This is about project planning and has plenty of real examples and case studies.

The Education of Cyrus by Xenophon https://www.thepsmiths.com/p/review-the-education-of-cyrus-b...

This is the best book on leadership and teamwork that I've ever read. You can read this review instead but get a copy of the actual book, too, it's wonderful.

> They made a decision that presumably was in their best interest

They're making a decision based on political pressure.
In 60 years time it will look just as strange to see product advertisements from today boasting '10% reduced CO² impact' or 'climate neutral'. I don't have a clue what they'll advertise with by that time but I do know it will look strange to those about half a century later. The advertising industry was never about objective truth, always about subjective emotions and I do not see that change other than advertising becoming ever more targeted.

China had 3 big goals for last 20+ years or so in their 5 year economic plans: getting rod of fossil fuel dependency, becoming a knowledge economy, increasing the share of service economy. Every government organization is working on to realize these. All the subsidies for EVs are there because they don't want to rely on gas and coal since it's not sustainable. Germany was lobbying to EU on the benefits of "clean diesel" till recently.
They did cite a peer reviewed paper in nature to substantiate the spinny head magnets. I doubt it will save their friend, but it's not total hogwash

Gwh/Mwh and GW/MW are not the same units. One is a time based unit, scales to duration and the other is peak intensity. You can deliver 1 GW for an hour is 1 Gwh and the same Gwh can deliver 500 MW for 2 hours or 250 MW for 4 hours.
Parent comment is the quintessential example from the article that most people who know git didn't learn git properly.
There's something worrying when a corporation builds a monument to itself.
Personally knowing four people with GBM and not being an oncologist is exceptional and worrying. That feels like it should be raised to… someone. It is very possible something bad is happening and a commonality needs to be tracked down urgently.
My aunt is in her 70s and has 5 friends currently with cancer. My belief is that it's downstream effects from Covid wrecking people's immune systems and their ability to naturally fight cancer. Time will tell.
Maybe I am a rube, but people bemoaning "complexity" of git just never strikes home with me. I started using it when I was 14, so maybe that is it (it was still fairly new, but it's all I've ever known) - I still only use a handful of commands.

git checkout, git checkout -b

git pull

git merge (mostly to merge master back into a development branch, or something like that)

git push

git restore (much more rarely)

git reset (even much more rarely)

Barely ever have I had to do anything but these for 99.999% of my workflow, and none of them seem particularly complicated unless you run into merge conflicts, but on every team there seems to be at least one pro "merge conflict" guy. Idk. Checkout is occasionally annoying when it forces you to stash unrelated changes to what you're doing, that's about all I can come up with.
> You have yet to show that tripling denials of a particular category of claims is even wrong in the first place.

Honestly this is a pretty bad faith argument. They are denying at a significantly higher rate than their competitors, their internal policy focused around denying, and enough people are getting screwed over that a murder was committed.

But yeah, sure, assume this is all business as normal and not at all morally wrong to make your argument if you must.

> Nobody had shown any evidence whatsoever that anything like that happened.

Basic. Reasoning.

If claim denials triple during a time when a particular CEO is in place, that CEO would have had to have something to do with that.

> Not only are denied claims not automatically wrong,

They are on this scale and when the denials are bad faith. I can't prove that to you unless their documents get leaked, but that's for legal matters. For moral matters, the evidence supports that the difference from the drastic increase were indeed bad faith denials.

> What decision? You just assume that there had been some decision, that Bryan Thompson approved, and that it was nefarious.

Exactly, because he was CEO.

> There is as of now zero evidence for this, this is just your speculation.

He was CEO.

> Murdering people based on speculations like that is profoundly evil, and so is excusing it.

He was CEO. He oversaw a company going out of their way to deny claims even if you want to play devils advocate and pretend to be ignorant and deny that.

What he did was far more evil than a single murder, and what you are doing in defending the system that caused someone to feel that they had to murder it also more evil, the system that allows for shitty health insurance companies to cause so much pain and suffering. THAT, is evil.

AI cluttering up your Web searches, here is how to turn it off
The crux of it, and the reason why I see it as a lost cause:

> the only way to really understand deeply how git checkout works, you have to fundamentally understand the internal workings of git.

Thing is, there's no way around fundamentally understanding the internal workings if you're going to use git on the command line.

Checkout and reset can be tough, but for instance reflog also makes no sense if you don't understand the commit model.

Newer user and occasional git users will be better served with a nice GUI. VSCode has extensions that will help deal with the basic operations etc.

The issue to me has never been that commands are cryptic, and more that git isn't made for people enjoying simplicity. For those, an extra layer above git is the best choice IMHO.
I was about to say this knowing 4 people with GBM means there is something in your environment causing this.

I am sorry about your friends.
I am so deeply pissed off at people who look at some completely useful, universal, widely-used-for-decades canonical command that's at the center of tens of millions of manual and automated deployments, picks out some esoteric details they decide are important and then proclaim, "OK when can we deprecate this debacle?" People who think you can just point "DEPRECATE" around at anything that they've decided is distasteful like a magic wand show their deep inexperience in tech as well as life overall and have no business making such proclamations.
No it's so weird, no connection at all between any of them.
Had a very close friend who passed away years ago from it. We tried various things, from apricot pits to a hat with electrodes attached to his head. Nothing worked.

He died about a year before John McCain died of the same. I regretted that we didn't try to do more, but, seeing that it took McCain in the same length of time did make me feel a little bit better (not that I was happy for McCain's death, but that his connections and world-class treatment made no meaningful difference in how long it prolonged his life versus that of my friend).

A lot of people have a strange sort of amnesia where they forget anything that doesn't support their preconceptions. I've had conversations that go like this:

The article says that git checkout confuses things that could be better accomplished with one of (git restore, git switch, git reset)

What you're doing sounds like git reset/git switch would be fine. I think I'm in favor of what the author suggests, conflating switch and reset/restore seems bad. It's going to take some effort to fix my habits though.
> Microservices made a canonical example of how easy it is to miscalibrate that bet. Since the trend started ~15y ago,....

What started was the rebranding from distributed systems.

We have had Sun RPC (The network is the computer, a slogan now owned by Cloudflare), DCE, CORBA, DCOM, RMI, Jini, .NET Remoting, SOAP, XML-RPC, JSON-RPC,....

Client-Server, N-Tier Architecture, SOA, WebServices,...

Apparently the new trend is Microservices-based, API-first, Cloud-native, and Headless with SaaS products, aka MACH.
A few years ago, I came across the idea of autophagy. The idea is water fasting for at least 24 hours to trigger the self-destruction of cells.

So sorry to hear about your friend. My mom had a breast cancer that spread to brain. At that time, the only medicines that worked were Tykerb and Xeloda, as these were the only ones that could travel to the brain. They had promising results for a few months, and the tumour shrank a lot and then started growing again.

Janna Levin, Black Hole Blues and Other Songs from Outer Space. It describes the construction of the LIGO experiment over a span of about 50 years. It does have a lot of character studies (one of Levin’s strengths) but also plenty of details about the incredible equipment and what it took to design it and put it all together.
It's more like sudoku for accountants.
JANET went live in 1984. Before then, UK universities were connected by X.25 links with ARPAnet gateways to Rest of World. (Such as it was then - basically the US and Scandinavia.)

You could, with a tiny amount of password hacking, joyride around the system quite easily, at least as far as getting to a login message on a remote host, possibly logging on with a guest account and having a text chat with surprised people in other countries.
You have to give clear evidence that china’s environment impact process is weaker than those followed in global north. Even if what you presume without data is 100% true ..

That is hardly the only or a key reason for slow adoption of green technologies in Europe or US.

There has to political will to do large changes that is weak everywhere else outside China.

Even if any project has heavy ecological impact locally, that doesn’t compare with far bigger problem of climate change.

Rich countries lack of action is basically a slap in the face of the global south, saying that they care more about few fish and birds, over the all poor people in the world who will suffer from the greenhouse gases bulk of which they emitted .

I would characterize that as just modern colonial wealth extraction with class and racial overtones.

Remember climate change impacts poor communities far more than the rich, that is true even in rich countries. It shouldn’t be so easy a moral decision to say environmental impact mitigation is more important than people .

Bureaucracy and red tape in the name of safeguards are weak excuses, when tens of if not hundreds of millions will die as direct or indirect consequence of climate change this century .

- 32 new nuclear power plants under construction in 2023 (Table 5)

Amazing story.
