Another good one would be “Questionable Consent.”
[from article ]We have just over two years to finish the work and I know you’re impatient.
So, my evolving understanding of this is that it takes about that long for the first signs of autism to show up. So I have a few honest, unresolved questions.
- With no ethics to slow us down we have to start witholding vaccines ASAP to hit the two year deadline. Is that correct?
- MMR takes two shots to get full immunity. If the schedule is spread out and making the falsifiable assumption that vaccines cause autism, how long would it be before you could meaningfully prove it?
- Again, with no ethics, you’d need for some of the population to get a placebo and some to get the real deal.
- Is that correct?
- Has a study that large ever been performed where placebo/real been kept track of over multiple doses?
As it stands now I really don’t see how we get helpful data out of this.
I forgot that with all the years long slow burn of US soft power that only gets interupted by someone throwing bags of it into a bonfire to make something up for the news cycle.
It’s not really that complicated if you already know the results you want.
The cherry on top is how the N=murica trial with no ethics guardrails won’t generate any usable results. All the federal agencies who would collate increased rates of everything were gutted at the top levels. Whether it falls back to state/county/word-of-mouth levels remains to be seen and will likely be regional.
Going to be a wild ride. Is the group of unvaccinated kids the control group, or is it the vaccinated ones? You’ll have to design in a way to account for “missing” vaccines to make sure groups of parents aren’t cheating either way. Are we taking blood samples from everyone at birth to be able to check against later in case someone leaves the country and comes back in with unexplained antibodies?
3·22 days agoC and C++ are the only exceptions I can think of, off the top of my head; libraries are managed by, and coupled to, the operating system
For C/C++ there’s conan, vcpkg, and whatever Redhat calls their scl system these days. I know there’s more, but those are the ones I can remember off the top of my head. You could argue that podman serves in this capacity to some degree.
In the comments you said you get tests run every 4-6 weeks. In my experience old age problems don’t start at 32.
Try some different things in between one of those 4-6 week cycles:
- Track your diet with whatever website or software looking for basic stuff like calories and all the little sodium/calcium/potassium type stuff.
- Drop caffeine entirely. Taper off because the withdrawal headaches suck, and it’ll take pretty much the whole month. I doubt this will help, but the best sleep I ever had was when I quit caffeine.
- If money isn’t a problem grab a blood sugar monitoring kit and spot check it depending on how quickly you want to burn through the consumables. Get advice from people who have to do this on how to do it right.
Is it like a brain fog? One that no amount of water seems to touch? Like you’re moving and thinking through a soup that gets thinner and thinner through the day until it finally gets thin enough to seem normal?
2·29 days agoUpon further inspection I agree with you. I was focused on that coastal body of water Nigeria has.
There’s something else going on there. The shape of Nigeria looks correct, but it’s rotated out of place.

This is the future so Virtual Machines and containers are where most of the stuff will end up anyway. If you need a specific distro it’s minutes away with a VM or container.
If you think there’s a chance you might want some Redhat cert for a job at some point it might be the time to jump to Rocky, and I’ve never used Proxmox so I can’t comment except to say that if I come into two fairly large computers for self hosting, the first one will get Rocky so I can get much more familiar with it, and the second will get Proxmox.
It’s all systemd anyway.

A person who’s bad at chess plays the game thinking that the opponent will step into traps that have been laid out for them. They don’t think about the opponent being smarter, more experienced, having a will of their own, or looking out for themselves. That person would be great in a wrasslin’ match, because now it’s time for the opponent to run into a clothesline or whatever.
Back in the real world actions have reactions: “no nation has friends only interests.” Make NATO uncertain that the US will show up if needed, and threaten to pull support for weapons? That looks great in the wrasslin’ match. Big strong man yelling at a TV camera impresses people who tuned into watch wanting to be impressed. In the real world it will take generations for the US to build back the trust it had if it can. Anyone wanting to make moves on a global scale will do so before that situation reaches a steady state.
The only thing that could make it worse in the real world for the US is if it started an unnecessary war for no reason and expended a huge amount of hard to replace munitions in a very short time while simultaneously giving an adversary a lot of looks at what modern US equipment looks like. It plays great inside the wrasslin’ match, though.

Technical arguments aren’t going to work, I don’t think. It’s similar to how an old style machine gun with no select fire and an open bolt is easy to make; the trigger just gets out of the way and the guns stops Not Firing. Then the world gets select fire which adds complexity, gets better mechanisms which add performance at the cost of complexity, so on and so forth.
I know I’m speaking to the choir here, but it’s like with Glock and their latest gen models. They tried to address the wish.com switches that were readily available, and they changed the slide somehow so the old switches wouldn’t work. New switches were out within days. Ignoring how additional complexity typically comes at a (small if they’re doing it right) reliability cost, there isn’t a level of complexity you can add to a standalone firearm that’ll make it unusable using technology alone.
So, we use legal means and wind up with a damned patchwork of laws. Some stuff is legal in some states and illegal in others, some states are “stand your ground” and others are “duty to retreat,” and it’s all subject to interpretation. They’ve already changed the forms so that the sex field is specifically the one assigned at birth, and red flag laws can be turned against whoever isn’t in power in a locality. Safe storage laws can’t be enforced without home inspection and are a tax on the poor, depending on interpretation. If pennies matter to someone they won’t be able to afford a safe with X amount of weight and possible structural improvements to support the weight if you’re on a crawl space. Apartments won’t be possible at all.
To the uninitiated the 3D printing stuff looks like magic when it’s really not as hard as it seems. Likewise firearms aren’t as complicated as some people seem to think. How legislation targeting either of the groups of people continually gets written and pushed people people who clearly don’t know anything about it is a failure of the ballot box and can be fixed there.
The other thing that seems to get lost on folks pushing gun bans are that a lot of the developments for making them lighter and easier to use have opened doors for people who’d have a harder time using a heavier firearm with large recoil.
2·2 months agoI apologize, I mean how do you navigate all the jargon you see in laws to get the answers.

The laws across the US are a patchwork of random thoughts that are constantly amended poorly. If you have any questions you should ask a local lawyer (this is a recommendation from a Paul Harrell video from youtube) since none of us will be there to bail you out of jail or pay legal fees in the event something goes wrong.
You could probably get 80% of that process done by learning some python. If you have a string “s”, then replacing double newlines with a single newline is as easy as
re.sub("\n\n", "\n", s)where “\n” is an LF in many programming languages. A CR is often “\r” in the same vein. Just be aware that regular expressions can be very, very frustrating; and every webpage is going to be a new adventure in how it got formatted. If you use something like spyder it’ll allow you to see what the data looks like inside the python process so you get a chance to iterate.
There is Carriage Return (CR), and also Line Feed (LF, often called New Line). If you think about old mechanical printers with the metal arm sticking out, a CR operation would move the type head to the far left column, and a LF operation would advance the paper by one line. Variously through the years depending on hardware (typewriter, teletype, those early CRTs that you had to refresh the screen, or modern computers) you would get one or both of those if you pressed Return/Enter, and it’s configurable in software, depending on the software. I don’t know what windows does these days with notepad, but at one time the Enter key sent both (CRLF). UNIX style systems tended to use LF, and older Macs as someone else referenced used CR. If you wrote a generic program to handle anything you had to account for all of them. Mostly these days it gets abstracted away which generally works well enough unless a team of people used a random collection of software to edit a text file.
printf "\r\nHexadecimal, like that scene from The Martian.\n" | hexdump -C 00000000 0d 0a 48 65 78 61 64 65 63 69 6d 61 6c 2c 20 6c |..Hexadecimal, l| 00000010 69 6b 65 20 74 68 61 74 20 73 63 65 6e 65 20 66 |ike that scene f| 00000020 72 6f 6d 20 54 68 65 20 4d 61 72 74 69 61 6e 2e |rom The Martian.| 00000030 0a |.| 00000031The 0a is a Line Feed character, and the 0d is a Carriage Return character. In my terminal without piping it through hexdump you get:
printf "\r\nHexadecimal, like that scene from The Martian.\n" Hexadecimal, like that scene from The Martian.The LF at the end of the string makes it so that the prompt at the terminal doesn’t appear on the same line as the output, and the blank line before the text is caused by the LF at the beginning. I don’t know/care/have to worry about what eats the CR.
They’re revisions to the USB standard. USB stands for “Universal Serial Bus.” In the before times there used to be different connectors and formats for sending data over wires for a lot of things. Eventually USB came along and solved a lot of problems all at once: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB
To make sure we’re talking about the same guy, it’s the one in the bow tie in this video, right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFQFB5YpDZE
And the answer to your question is a solid maybe?. I’ve never seen the source before, but it looks like he’s doing fine from a financial perspective.
Someone has fucked over US farmers for decades. If you lose a chess match to someone, is it more likely to be to a pigeon who just happened to randomly knock over the pieces in such a way as to beat you in a game, or the old person carrying around a travel chess set just for fun and would also like to play for $10 just to make it interesting.
