As a short adult male (5'5" - 165cm), it's always been difficult to find pants or jeans with a 28" inseam. Surprisingly, AmazonBasics line of clothes is one of the few mass produced consumer brands that has this size. Niche alternatives like Peter Manning are expensive, so it's great Amazon does this.
Given that tens of millions people have been treated for bipolar disorder with Lithium Carbonate, shouldn't researchers have already seen a correlation with Alzheimer's in patients?
For the past 9 years, Android has allowed users to disable location permission per app. More recently, you can choose to share "noisy" location, which just provides an approximation of your location.
Directly from Entrust: "Yes, there has been ongoing internal discussion and reflection on the issues found in this and other incidents, which has led to the action items described previously and ongoing changes, including the decision to revoke the certificates affected by this bug. Exceptional circumstances would need to be provided and justified by the Subscribers. Given the nature of the feedback we have received to date, we doubt that the community has any real interest in anything that Entrust could suggest, except to use against Entrust in a destructive, not constructive, way. We therefore would like more explicit and clear guidelines or a definition of “exceptional circumstances” to be adopted and applied equally to all CAs, perhaps through updates in the CA/B Forum requirements."
I don't want to be that guy, here's a nice summary of what you missed, since the creator is so inconsiderate when it comes to accessibility:
The video introduces us to Alex, a 13-year-old in 1997, who is Hispanic and living with his dad and stepmom. At this point in his life, Alex's family has a net worth of just $2,000, and his parents are not particularly supportive or involved in his life. Despite these challenges, Alex expresses a sense of optimism about his future. This optimism is shared by many teenagers, as evidenced by a survey from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, which includes 9,000 participants followed from their adolescent years into adulthood.
The video then shifts to highlight the importance of childhood experiences, as research by Vincent Fidi published in 1998 would later reveal. This research indicates that traumatic and stressful events during childhood can have profound, lifelong effects on an individual's health, relationships, financial security, and overall well-being. The video follows 400 of these survey participants, focusing on those with uninvolved parents, those who have been bullied, and those growing up in risky home environments. It tracks adverse experiences such as parental drug use, being held back or suspended from school, and witnessing violence.
By 2001, the participants are in their senior year of high school. The video examines the adverse experiences these students have faced, noting that Black and Hispanic youths are disproportionately represented among those who have experienced multiple negative events. These experiences often correlate with academic performance; students who face more adversity tend to struggle more in the classroom. The video also introduces the concept of "emerging adulthood" as a period between childhood and adulthood, during which college can provide a supportive environment for young adults to navigate this transition.
By 2010, some participants have completed a four-year college degree, with a clear trend showing that those who had fewer adverse experiences in childhood are more likely to have attended college. The video also highlights the financial struggles of those from less privileged backgrounds, many of whom are still grappling with the economic implications of their challenging upbringings.
In 2021, the long-term impact of childhood adversity is starkly evident. The participants' life outcomes, including income levels, health issues, and overall happiness, show a direct correlation with the adverse experiences they faced as children. Alex, whose story we have followed, is now 37 years old, living with his partner and two kids. He has struggled with his weight and health throughout his adult life, and his annual income remains around $20,000. The video concludes by emphasizing that the circumstances of our youth significantly shape our lives and that systemic factors play a significant role in individual outcomes. It calls into question the blame placed on individuals for their life circumstances and suggests that the collective responsibility to support young people is essential for breaking cycles of adversity.
Not going to bother watching Youtube videos. At least there's a transcript on the web UI now, easy to put into your favorite LLM and get the summary:
Intel Pentium D Extreme 965: The Ultimate Netburst CPU
The Intel Pentium D Extreme 965, launched in March 2006, was the pinnacle of Intel's infamous Netburst architecture. The Netburst architecture, introduced in 2000 with the Pentium 4, aimed to push clock speeds higher by deepening the pipeline. While initially successful with the Northwood generation, the subsequent Prescott chips struggled with heat and performance issues despite their 31-stage pipeline.
To compete with AMD's Athlon X2 dual-core processors, Intel hastily fused two Prescott Pentium 4 dies together, creating the Pentium D. The Pentium D Extreme 965, the ultimate Netburst CPU, featured two cores with hyperthreading at 3.73 GHz, a 1066 MT/s front-side bus, and 4 MB of L2 cache.
To test the Pentium D Extreme 965's capabilities, it was paired with an Asus P5 Pro motherboard, 16 GB of DDR3 RAM, a Scythe Mugen cooler, a SATA 3 SSD, a GTX 1060 GPU, and a Corsair RM 1000x power supply. The setup ran smoothly on Windows 10, and overclocking the CPU to 4.6 GHz yielded a nearly 23% performance increase.
In synthetic benchmarks, the overclocked Pentium D Extreme 965 performed well against older CPUs like the Pentium Core 2 Duo but struggled to match the quad-core Core 2 Quad QX6700. Daily tasks such as browsing, office work, and even 1080p video editing in DaVinci Resolve were surprisingly snappy, likely aided by the 16 GB of DDR3 RAM. YouTube playback was smooth at 1080p 60 FPS and watchable at 1440p 60 FPS.
Gaming performance was impressive for an 18-year-old CPU. Battlefield 5's 64-player multiplayer ran at 10-12 FPS, GTA 5 at 20-25 FPS, Rise of the Tomb Raider at 23 FPS, and Doom 2016 at over 40 FPS using the Vulkan API.
Power draw at stock speeds was around 93 watts, lower than the 130-watt TDP. Overclocking to 4.6 GHz increased power draw to over 160 watts, while undervolting at stock speeds reduced it to a frugal 63 watts.
In conclusion, the Pentium D Extreme 965, while outclassed by its successor, the Core 2 Quad QX6700, still managed to deliver decent performance in modern tasks and games, especially when overclocked. It stands as a testament to the best of Intel's worst architecture and showcases the potential of Netburst when pushed to its limits.
The VC funded scooter rental companies don't bear the most significant cost of scooters, public health. Quality studies outlining the risk and costs are scarce, but there are some:
Key points: 15% of scooter riders who seek medical attention have a traumatic brain injury. This doesn't include those transported by EMS. 63% of injured riders had ridden an scooter 9 or more times before.
Perhaps e-scooters are safe in some markets, but in many they are a death trap that the vendors will never have to pay for.
Meta note: All things considered, Amazon has it pretty good. They put out a barely usable, bare-bones, but fully functional tool in awscli. Paying customers of AWS have to perform the engineering effort to make the API more usable, and some even open-source their projects like this. AWS is an incredible business model.
Sure, but do you expect all consumers filing CCPA complaints to understand this? Even the more astute consumers filing complaints probably don't understand that Maxmind provides both flat files and API as a service for IP lookups. They should set expectations here.
Maxmind could be completely transparent here to consumers, for those who don't understand the consequences of requesting a removal using the current implementation:
Thank you for your CCPA request which we have fulfilled. Your IP address has been removed from our databases.
Furthermore, your IP address has been placed on https://www.maxmind.com/en/accounts/do-not-sell-requests for the next month. During this time period, your IP address will be displayed on this page. Of course, no other personal information you provided us will not be included. Please note that no specific privileges are required to access this page, other than an email address to create an account. We have no realistic countermeasures against this, or potentially hostile actors who may regularly archive this page content.
There's a few huge differences here from the DNC list.
* Implementation: Access to the DNC list is provided by various carriers for paying customers, with lookups available on a per-number basis. A binary { true, false } response is sent. EDIT: Thank you PaybackTony for the correction. The entire DNC list is also available as a CSV for $$$$.
* Expectations of privacy: Does Maxmind send out a response to those fulfilled complaints stating that their IP address will be made available to anyone on the Internet who registers for an account?
* Hiding in the crowd: How many numbers are in the DNC registry? How many will request a Maxmind opt-out?
Regarding trying to identify them from it would in itself be illegal probably?: maybe. But with all these IP addresses sitting available to anyone on the Internet who bothers to make an account, it doesn't really matter.
