Anything that calls into ObjC benefits as well, and if you built another programming language that used a very similar mechanism, presumably you could also use it.

The NRC already requires that.

So how long does it have to run to break even?

That's pretty nifty. I didn't think nitrocellulose film was manufactured anymore. If not, I wonder what movie they got it from. This is a good application for it, certainly.

In this post: Trumpist talking points, misinterpreted science, outright lies. Caveat lector.

At least some of them are definitely at least partially forged, and the DKIM headers for none of them have been released, AFAIK. At least some of the released screenshots of emails are obviously doctored (text that should be level with the text next to it is not).

AutoModerator is INFP, with 50% confidence, INTP with 11%.

Is there a version of this that runs on 13.5, since that's jail-breakable?

Terrapower is (was?) developing multiple technologies. They got approval for their traveling wave reactor (which uses molten sodium, not molten salt, but they are easily confused for obvious reasons) last week. Not sure if they're going to keep developing other techs.

Well this is quite an ad for Forward, but Forward isn't insurance, last I checked. They don't pay for the services they refer you to outside their network. And since they don't provide surgery or ER services, they can save most of the costs. It's a PCP subscription, but one that's far more expensive and somewhat higher tech than, say, One Medical (not strictly comparable, as One Medical still charges you or your insurance per visit[1]). Maybe Forward includes labs (One Medical includes the phlebotomist's services, but not cost of the test), in in that case this might be worth it for some people, but in general you'll need catastrophic insurance on top of this.

[1] not quite: they don't charge for doctor-requested followup appointments.

Now if I could get a $150/month discount on my other insurance for having Forward, then that'd be something appealing. But I won't hold my breath.

"Stenographically encode your important documents into your porn" is what I'm reading here.

Yeah this is absolutely killing us right now.

Very cool. I do wonder if it means a guaranteed wipeout of the gut microbiome though. Granted, this is likely to be a last line of defense, but _C. diff_ is nothing to mess with either. Sure, we'll be able to kill that with this too, even the nasty vancomycin-resistant strain, but too long with an empty gut isn't good for us either. We'll probably need to get better at microbiome engineering and probiotic used to compensate.

> That's 2-3 TIMES more than covid will kill

If people stay locked down and a vaccine or cure is developed. If not, we could be looking at 50-120 million dead (7.7 billion people * 70-80% who'll need to catch the disease to provide herd immunity * 1-2% fatality rate). And that's assuming that in none of those 5.4-6.1 billion people infected a mutation emerges that makes a SARS-CoV-3 that is different enough to render the antibodies ineffective.

There's just a wee bit of urgency here too.

Nah, a family friend does.

"Crowdsourced Neurun over Google Earth."

Does anyone have a link to the actual study? LA Times link doesn't include it. Other than the selection criteria for participants, it doesn't sound from the pressroom.usc.edu link that it's any better than the Santa Clara study, and perhaps worse, given the smaller number of participants. The pressroom link mentions an "accuracy" number, but not specificity and sensitivity.

Pacifist used to be the go-to app for this; probably still is.

This is about right, and it's changed to be more this way over time. Early versions of OS X had user lands which were more BSD-like than they are now (and optional! Used to be you had to install the "BSD Subsystem" package from your install CD if you wanted to get a proper POSIX environment). For instance, early versions used BSD init, but that was replaced with launchd.

It looks like they've updated the 3dbuzz.torrent file, and now it's 4GB larger than the versions on reddit.

This article makes the same mistake as the CNN one. It’s “protophobic, meaning ‘interacts with neutrons instead of protons’", not ‘"photophobic, meaning ‘afraid of light’".

That was the Apple III.

> The third concern is what has dominated the news cycle as of late: Facebook’s decision to not fact-check any posts or ads from politicians. This is largely being framed as aiding President Trump in particular, which is probably both true and also an unsurprising complaint from the Second Estate used to having monopoly control over fact-checking.

> The broader issue is that the third concern and first concern are so clearly in direct opposition to each other. If Facebook has the potential for immense influence on politics, why on earth would anyone want the company policing political speech?

Maybe because they're fact-checking lots of other things to promote themselves as a platform you can find facts on? I don't know, I'd think if there was any ostensible non-partisan shared value in a democracy, it'd be a desire for factual information. Spun and biased, sure, but fundamentally factual. (In reality, I don't think this is true anymore, at least from the head of the executive branch and his sycophants, but this shared value is not irreparably broken nationwide.) If Facebook isn't going to fact-check anything, then that's one thing, but if they're going to fact-check some things, it's far from unreasonable for them to fact-check political ads.

Prescott was 64-bit from the first stepping (C0), but EM64T was disabled with fuses. It wasn't just introduced for E0, and it was disabled in the G steppings that were 32-bit the same way. That big a change is too large to do in a mask change (the letter incrementing in a stepping indicates a mask change, the number a metal change) rather than a microarchitectural one. There are probably engineering samples of C and D steppings floating around out there that don't have those fuses blown.

The same is true for the LGA775-based 32-bit Prescotts. 64-bit disabled by fuses.

I had Fork 1.0.19. Wasn't any good back then. Just reopened and updated it. Much better now!

Wait, there's a herpes vaccine? Since when?

I'm surprised at the removal of aifc. AIFF is still used somewhat in macOS.

Given that the author is directing their outrage at public companies (Uber, FB, Amazon), what's to stop UBI recipients from buying shares of those companies to effect the same thing? Employees (though not contractors) already get equity as well. If control is the issue, then something akin to Elizabeth Warren's plan of an employee-representative board member is an equally useful tool, and a much less heavy-handed one.

I don't buy the physics argument. It's not like egg and sperm-generating cells aren't subject to thermal aging, and yet zygotes are biologically new rather than 18-45 years old. Life should be getting progressively worse through time rather than effectively resetting every generation.

A year or two ago they started telling you at least the status of the original bug, open, closed or fixed.
