> San Francisco is home to much in the way of visible public misery, unnerving street behavior and overt drug use. Its property crime rate has long been high, and the police clearance rate for property crimes has long been minimal. But the city’s violent crime rate is at a near-historic low, and is lower than most mid-to-large-sized cities.

[1]

Seems like violence is at an all time low, meaning the city is actually safer than ever. In fact, in 2024 violent crimes fell another 14% [2]. So if the goal truly is safety, we should keep doing whatever it is we’re doing because we’re on a fantastic roll of making the city safer.

Which means that servers have zero incentive to convert to ipv6.

All this cgnat46 setup is not in the name of end users, because they will always adapt somehow, as reels have a huge force of attraction.

It is to make sure that service providers can deploy ipv6-only _servers_ and not bother that 60 percent of their target audience will be unavailable.

The issue with the ipv6 internet is not the end users, they are paying, so the ISPs will always adapt to their needs, or the users themselves will buy new equipment in the worst case, it's the service providers who stop being profitable by going ipv6-only.

> The first snakebite antivenom was made in the mid-1890s and the method has changed little since: snakes are “milked” for their venom, which is injected into horses or sheep and the antibodies that their immune systems then produce are extracted via the animals’ blood.

This is expensive, and many people develop allergies to the antibodies.

A cool practical application of DeepMind's AlphaFold is that it allows one to "design" proteins because it is now possible to predict how they will fold. [0]

This means it is possible to create synthetic protein antibodies that neutralise snake venom, specifically designed for humans [1].

Quantum field equations capture entanglement.

Measurement choice impacts the field equations, because you are field equations too.

So none of those problems exist. Just interpret the field equations as they stand.

Yes, new information is information is conserved, if everything is predictable. Which the field equations are.

That would not be true if collapse was real, as that would impact the system with new, previously unknown, inherently unpredictable information.

(The fact that we as big things end up experiencing what looks like a collapse is explained by the field equations and the statistics of how quickly information, not carefully controlled, gets dispersed.

At this point in the history of physics, we should be able to discard extra explanations for our experiences that are already completely and exhaustively explained by the well tested laws.

The fact that the explanation requires thinking about things differently than ordinary experience, isn’t an excuse for wedging poorly characterized and completely unnecessary fudge effects as shims into our intuition gaps.

I am, of course, not arguing that collapse isn’t a useful concept, with many pervasive practical uses when full systems are not being modeled.

Yes, but when demand for the currency leads to a prices increasing,such as from an attempted corner, then you do not destroy price stability because the person operating the corner is buying the cash with something.

The money-printing used to break a corner can in principle be small and you can even have an inflation target of zero and still print money to break such corners.

What I want to emphasize with this though, is the source of a currency's value. The collateral of the debt of the loans denominated in it and the social and economic consequences to individuals of defaulting on loans in it. That is the end-source of demand for a currency, and that guaranteed demand is so great that it makes attempting to corner the market in the currency make sense.

If you cornered the market in bitcoin, there's no one who would have to buy even one. That shows how little bitcoin is worth, i.e. zero.
Back then a lot of the time you couldn't just boot from the Windows 95 CD-ROM; a lot of BIOSes didn't support bootable CDs yet, and would have to use a boot floppy as a shim. This would necessitate booting to a MS-DOS environment.

Also, if you didn't have partitions set up, you'd need to use MS-DOS FDISK and FORMAT to get things started, too. No way you'd have enough space in RAM to decompress and cram the entire Win95 UI into RAM to run it.

All in all, it makes more sense to go with the lightweight Win 3.1 intermediary step to bootstrap to the next phase.
The reason that physicists get excited about entropy is that it is an extremely useful tool.

How does that address the point? They've got nothing to do with each other. Our example user isn't sharing a phone number with his mom. He's having his phone bill paid by his mom. It is correct to believe that the number uniquely identifies him. Explaining that "all phone numbers uniquely identify a single individual" is false doesn't matter in any way, because it isn't false as applied to the phone number that's giving us trouble. That number uniquely identifies an individual.

This should be a hint that you've misdiagnosed the problem... shouldn't it?
No, it isn’t. If that was true you’d see a much stronger correlation between drug and alcohol use and homelessness.

> How is it possible that the db contains records with such a vital datum missing?

It might not be missing, it also can be unknown and unknowable. There are people with their date of birth not recorded or recorded only approximately. It happens when the date is recorded on a piece of a paper in a building that then burns down or during natural or human-made catastrophes. Or it might not be recorded at all, or only some parts are missing (like the day of the month). Working for a different public administration, it's so common we have a special date type for that.
You know what also causes low police reports? Police dissuading people from making them or refusing to take them, and people not bothering to contact police because they believe (correctly or otherwise) the police won't do anything about it, or because they believe police response will be dangerous or overkill... also people self-protecting by avoiding dangerous areas or times, avoiding being alone, or leaving the city entirely (e.g. SF population decreased 9.42% in 2024 according to the internets).

Homicide rates are more reliable, since it's not something that can easily go unreported. But there is a lot of room for violent crime that is short of homicide.

> if the gold is happily stored in London then a tariff won't affect it - it'll still be in London

People aren't taking gold out of London because they're scared about it being in the UK. They're taking it out because they can sell it for more in America. There is a price gap between physical gold in America and claims on gold outside it; that's the article's point.

America is a net importer of gold. Our top source of gold is Canada. If we put a 25% tariff on gold tomorrow, its cost would go up. Someone who brought in gold today would be able to sell it for more tomorrow. We know that today, so the price starts rising in anticipation of tariffs.

Put another way, if you can get gold into America on the eve of the tarriffs' rollouts you can capture some of the value of that tariff yourself.
>Most consumer routers also implement a stateful firewall with deny-by-default inbound policy.

No they don't.

Most ISP boxes only implement the bare minimum of functions to make sure that youtube is available to the users. Which includes NAT, because otherwise youtube does not work, and does not include anything else.
COMEX is usually just a paper market, with almost all positions closed out before settlement.

London has paper transactions, but is also a delivery market, where large quantities of real gold change hands. The gold may not actually leave the vaulting system: the transfer can often be accomplished with a warehouse receipt.

However, since November last year, clients of the COMEX (often acting through JPMorgan bullion bank) have been standing for delivery, e.g. 62 tonnes in the 2 weeks after Thanksgiving 2024:

https://www.goldmoney.com/research/massive-comex-deliveries-...

Now JPMorgan is standing for delivery of 93 tonnes in February 2025 (3m troy oz, $4bn):

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/jpmorgan-plans-4-billion-gold...

COMEX has had to scramble to find the physical gold to deliver. The US price went up, creating a spread with London and an arbitrage opportunity. Physical deliveries from the LBMA vaults in London were flown to the COMEX vaulting system in and around New York.

If the deliveries cannot be made in New York, there is a rather murky process called Exchange For Physical (EFP), where the client is given a paper promise for gold delivery in London. Not sure if there is client discretion, or if they can be forced to accept EFP by the COMEX T&Cs.

I think that COMEX does have the right to cash settle delivery requests, but that would be seen as a soft default, and seriously damage its reputation as a physical market grounded in delivery.
> inflation is way down

Inflation is still far higher than it was 15 years ago without contractive policies that are destroying the industrial fabric of the country, and the local understanding of economist that actually know a thing or two is that there is inflationary inertia that will not be solved by the current policies.

> the economy is growing

By no means is the economy growing; industrial capacity is down. The nominal price of goods is going up and the cost of living is going up which appears in some metrics as more money moving in the economy, alebeit for drastically lower production as the real price in US dollars has doubled across every product line. The indexes that show progress use outdated purchasing baskets.

> percentage of poor people is down

Poverty went drastically up at the beginning of his mandate and still has not recovered baseline values. Most poverty indicators continue to undercount the impact of the cost of food, medical insurance and services, which hit poor homes disproportionately. This can be observed by the fact that medicine and food consumption are the categories whose consumption has been hit the hardest.

> salaries are up

Registered salaries using indices that have no accomodated for the changes in inflationary inertia are not very useful. [Consumption, however, is the lowest it's been in 20 years with no sign of recovery](https://www.infobae.com/economia/2025/01/15/el-consumo-masiv...).

I've tried esProc SPL and was actually surprised. It is indeed a powerful tool for handling complex SQL challenges more intuitively. And I've found some practical examples on its websites. If you are interested, check out here: https://blog.esproc.com
Good point, I should've used direct initialization in this example.

struct A {
int x;
A(A *a) { if (a) a->x = 42;}
};

struct B {
A a1;
A a2;
};

void f()
{
B b{.a1{nullptr}, .a2{&b.a1} };
}

This code is valid.

Now if I change the struct definition to

struct B {
A a2;
A a1;
};

it will become UB. Luckily it won't compile because of the difference between the order of declaration and the order of designated initializers.

The alternative way is to always initialize the sub-objects in the order of designated initializers (what do we do if not all initializers are provided?), but this would mean that the order of constructor calls wouldn't match the (reversed) order of destructor calls. Or we would need to select the destructor dynamically based on the way the object was initialized.
