My summary from reading a bit (correct me if I'm wrong)
If you were to order all publicly traded companies incorporated in the US, The Russell 2000 would include the companies ranked 1000-3000.

2. Some bodies produce more Vitamin D for the same amount of sun exposure as other bodies. For example, darker skin produces less vitamin D.
3. Some bodies convert Vitamin D into other useful compounds less efficiently than others. This is commonly done in the liver and kidneys.
4. Those with Vitamin D deficiencies have problems with their muscles, bones, and immune systems. We do not fully understand the impact of Vitamin D, but it also seems to have an impact on mental health, and is a key part of SAD.
Yea, things aren't perfect and risk free so you might as well not even look at your options for change. /s
You are discussing how much money content creators get paid for impressions.
The other person is discussing how much advertisers spend to for impressions.
In the middle is Google, which has it's own costs. If you are going to pay Google to not show you ads it makes more sense to base that off of the amount of revenue it would have generated from advertisers instead of the amount of revenue it pays to content creators on your behalf.
Yea. I'm just very curious as to what these numbers look like in practice. Neutrons are essentially waste emissions with their plan, but physics and engineering constrains will determine how much they can tune out D-D reactions.
2. The Spanish government is currently renting the land from it's owners. I am very curious about the rent, as this land is currently useless. I don't know the details of Spanish law, but on the face this seems like a good case for eminent domain.
3. At this point, the cleanup process would involve moving dirt that contains trace amounts of radioactive material. This has been done before, but I think this would be both the largest effort and the one in which the dirt traveled the furthest (from Spain to the US, probably to a facility west of the Mississippi River.
4. Once the topsoil is removed, then what? Replace it with top soil harvested from someplace else? Start a project to restore the topsoil with lots of compost? It'll take another sixty years.
EDIT: This type of cleanup is an ideal use case for robotics, and I would love to see what technology they use to perform the cleanup. I imagine several semi-autonomous remote controlled tractor sized machines loading into containment boxes made of nine inch thick steel.
* I do believe the fusion paths Helios is using emit neutrons, which is a big safety concern. Not only is neutron radiation directly deadly to humans, it's also a challenge to maintain containment. Neutrons are not magnetic, so matter must be used as a shield. Most materials that absorb a neutron will itself become radioactive. I'm unsure about the number of neutrons Helios is emitting, or will emit as they scale up.
I thought that was the point. Did I read this article right, and there are essentially no modern studies of LSD use in the 200-500µg range?
Strictly speaking I'm unsure if something illegal happened. Ethically it feels like Google is overpromising and making empty political gestures. I just hope no one relies on this feature for their personal or legal safety.
I do not want to be a consumer in that world.
* My car insurance is currently only on my phone, and the printed cards in my glovebox are years out of date. I cannot drive.
* If your car has LTE or 5G you should not use it. Those will leak location data.
* It's almost moot if you do a transaction with a credit card. You need to use cash to not leak data. It would be a signal if you only take cash out of an ATM once in a blue moon. Many 'sensitive' transactions, such as medical care, can generate paper trails.
* In some cities it's moot due to the large number of cameras with facial recognition. In fact, to someone that has both phone data and city facial recognition data the fact that you don't have your phone could be used as a signal for closer investigation.
* If there is an emergency, such as you are arrested, or there is a medical emergency in which you need to go to the hospital, do you have a contact's phone number memorized?
This puts people at personal risk, erodes their faith in tech, and provides an image of political grandstanding. (Washington should protect you, but Google will is a major message [0]). I'm defending this guy. He saw Google make a promise it couldn't keep, ran real world tests, and told the world where they fell short. I wish there was more we could do to keep tech companies accountable for failed promises, but this is the bare minimum.

Yes, there's also some people on soap boxes yelling into the crowd. I can usually ignore them just fine.
* I've also noticed people that are interested in tripping multiple days in a row tend to have worse outcomes than those that pace themselves. He credits the second trip with developing the problems.
* His primary complaint before he started taking drugs is that trauma lead him to become withdrawn. His primary complain now is that he feels a tendency to withdrawal from his family. It sounds like his biggest problem is the same before and after HPPD.
Excuse me, I have a question. I was under the impression something is either NP hard or it is not. When you say "at least NP hard" it suggests there are levels beyond NP. Am I misinformed, or am I misunderstanding you?

* This type of account is called a "barcode"
* SC2 is now free to play, so anyone can create a barcode account. The biggest barrier for top level players is needing to play ~10 hours to have a high enough rank to get interesting games.
* For top 1000 players this allows them to play games without the opponent knowing their style before hand.
* For top 100 players this allows them to experiment with different styles in public games without their tournament opponents knowing how they have been playing recently.
* Professional SC2 is changing from having a couple of big tournaments every year to having frequent smaller tournaments. Previously the top 10 players might publicly play only a handful of events throughout the year so their opponents would have less information about their strategies and play styles. Now, the best players are being forced to play publicly multiple times a month or not be able to generate enough winnings to support themselves. This is making barcode play less attractive for top 100 players, as being secretive is less important than being consistent.
* Along with this change, many professional players are shifting into content creation/streaming. Players like Hero Marine(Germany) and Harstem(Netherlands) are leading the way on being a professional level player and a content creator. Players like PiG(Australia) are leading the way on being pivoting a former professional career into a content creating business.
* There's a surprising number of players with lifetime winnings in the hundreds of thousands of dollars range. Serrel(Finland) and Maru(S. Korea) have crossed over one million. Dark(S. Korea) is going military service soon with over $990,000 in total winnings.
Real but temporary security -> This 2048 bit key you generated will be commercial grade protection until at least 2030. Sometime after that computers will be strong enough to brute force it. Do not store anything with this key that will still be highly sensitive in 7 years. It's possible the underlying algorithm is cracked, or a leap in quantum computers happen that will make the key obsolete sooner.
Security theater -> All software running on this chip must be signed with our master key. Please trust all software we sign with this key, and no malicious party will have access to it. You are not allowed to run arbitrary software on your hardware because it is not signed with our key.
In the first case, the security is real. You own the lock, you own the key, and you control the entire security process. In the second case, you neither own the lock, the key, and basically have limited access to your own hardware.
I've lived in a 'zoomtown' for the last four years. It's great. My area isn't walkable, but it is bikeable. When I leave my house, there's a 50/50 chance I'm on my bike instead of in my car. I have more privacy and quiet working than I had in offices, or in my urban core apartments. Peak traffic sucks, but it's not as bad as peak traffic in a city. I can afford something like 6x the space compared to SF/SEA/NYC.
I'm surprised the article doesn't mention the downsides I have experienced in zoomtown.
* Local government is corrupt, but without a city paper no one notices or cares. I know urban cities have corrupt local governments too, but the looting and shilling is more blatant here. No one seems to care or be informed on local issues.
* All of my flights have a layover now.
* Limited cultural opportunities.
* Everything is getting slightly worse as more remote workers are moving here.
* Medical care was notably better in the city, and I have limited access to some specialist.
