In this paper 100TeV are called “totally ridiculous” but now scientists want to build a new hadron collider which would have that capacity: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39271297
There's more than just raw strength that goes into making magnets for a collider. It's the combination of strength, uniformity, and enclosed volume which makes things difficult.
It doesn’t stop OD, but it reduces OD because it eliminates one type of very common OD: people taking seemingly safe quantities of drugs that have been laced with fentanyl.
Statistics are fuzzy on this, because you can’t always positively determine intent, to separate accidental overdose from suicide.
The number of overdose deaths are spiking, driven by fentanyl. That is 100% fact based.
Now you have to make a qualitative judgement: I think most ODs are accidental when this is studied. Did a whole shitload of drug users just become unusually suicidal? I would say it’s safer to assume “no” unless you see evidence to the contrary.
If you have good opioids in hand then there's no need to buy opioids of uncertain strength from dubious sources. Thus your dosage is more controllable.
If your supply is reliable then there is no seesaw of deprivation when you're out and overindulgence when you're flush.
For further data, apply the same logic that keeps people from oding on alchohol.
I think clinics with pills are the best compromise here. It would be insane to have otc access to opioids. It's not like addicts live normal lives and OD'ing is the only danger.
Is that the metric we care about? Wouldn't "amount of people dying of opiods" and "amount of people having their lives ruined by opiods" be better ones?
Th way I see it, alcohol issues wouldn't be reduced if you made it illegal and less people drank it, but now people are drinking unregulated moonshine that makes them blind or kills them because it contains methanol and isopropanol.
Pretty hilarious that your 'argument' is a opinion piece and the other is literally just an article that the newspaper itself has corrected because its false.
I tried doing this and it actually took longer due to all of the blind alleys it led me down.
There is stuff that it can do that appears magically competent at but it's almost always cribbed from the internet, tweaked with trust cues removed and often with infuriating, subtle errors.
I interviewed somebody who used it (who considered that "cheating") and the same thing happened to him.
This isn't an attempt to break encryption. Can you show how it is? The EFF has just posted a load of FUD in this article - governments already control CAs, so giving them another one wouldn't give them any new interception capabilities. Actually eIDAS would give them less interception capability, since the browser would have to display some icon saying it's an eIDAS certificate, which it doesn't do for other CAs.
Their claims center around "the current language is imprecise" and I'm having a really hard time seeing why that's a problem for a bill that hasn't even finished being written yet.
Why would anyone want to call a "real" taxi without any driver rating system?

Reply to the comment below because I can't post no more:
That "simple stuff" never worked in any EU city I ever visited. It just helped the gangsters keep their business.
The real simple stuff that works is an app with rating system and pre-calculated prices.

Well I mostly travel around central and eastern Europe - Germany, Austria, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Estonia, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria... - never had a good experience with a "real" taxi before Uber anywhere in these countries. Not even "okay" experience, it was always very bad, barely tolerable.
>>Why would anyone want to call a "real" taxi without any driver rating system?
I don't understand how the rating system helps in any way shape or form though. The worst rides in my life in any taxi, period, were all from 5-star rated Uber drivers. Most recent one in a small English town where the guy was literally doing 60mph on 30mph streets, braking hard and going into corners so the tyres would squeal - I literally had to tell him to slow down and he said "no it's fine don't worry about it". I checked and the guy had 3000 completed rides and something like 4.8/5 rating. I reported him through support but I will never know if anything was done.

I'm from Poland and I never had issues with "real" taxis here, in Krakow, Warsaw and other places - you have to watch out for fake taxis which can operate outside of regulations, but the proper licenced taxis are absolutely fine.
4.8 is not a good Uber rating these days. Giving anything less than 5 stars requires you to justify your rating now. 4.8 means roughly 1 in 5 passengers were annoyed enough to go through this.
And yet he is(or was) still on the road, so I'm not sure how the rating helped. Or maybe more specifically - if you saw a 4.8 rated driver was coming to get you, would you cancel the booking?
I probably wouldn't cancel the booking, but I've come to expect that with a 4.8 driver, there's a pretty good chance that something won't be satisfactory. Uber doesn't kick the driver off until their rating gets below 4.6, but Uber also won't let drivers drive for their premium tiers without at least a 4.85.
As an example, last week I had a 4.8 driver drive to the wrong pickup location, then I called them to explain, they said they were coming, and then they started the ride without me in the car and started driving towards my destination. Naturally I had to fight with Uber to refund the $10 cancellation fee.
The drivers that are reliable and you can count on to not pull stuff like this are all 4.95+.
What was? The anecdote I said? That was a month ago. Or the Polish experience? That was all before Uber even existed here. I used to take taxis a lot in Warsaw in 2010-2013 and don't recall having any issues.
Austin airport is ok, they have salt lick bbq, but that’s about the best thing I’ve had in an American airport.
In Spain recently I had one of the nicest Spanish ham and cheese sandwiches I can remember.
In the USA and Australia food feels more like a business, in my opinion in the flag ship European counties decent food is a right. Japan is similar too. When I’m in the USA I hang on review sites because it’s so hit and miss, in Tokyo or Barcelona I’ll happily just walk around and try random places.
I’ve managed to get a GPS lock while flying, it just takes a few minutes to find one. Was it misreporting my position? because it usually matched up with what I saw outside of the window
Probably because you were in a large aluminium tube at the time, and had no internet to get the AGPS data, so it had to receive the orbital elements from the satellites. (IIRC, this can take as many as 24 minutes worst case)
If you're using GNSS tracking on a flight, consider checking out the OSMand~ app for android. There's a map layout for flying, though I don't know if the navigation features work.
