That's a non-sequitur. There's natural law.
When I was in college there was a flier circulated by the university concerning getting drunk at parties which could lead to situations ranging from regrettable but consentual sexual encounters to rape.

One interesting thing that surprised me was that the state had pretty tough DUI laws (Driving Under the Influence). Which had some legal wording to the effect that being drunk cannot be used as an excuse for having bad judgement and deciding to drive and then getting any liniency because of it. The dark side of that was that in case when a someone gets drunk at a party and then consents to a sexual encounter, it is harder for the defense to make the case for rape. So they basically advised people not to drink because if something happened they might​ have a tough time in court proving it was rape.

On the same note, I always wondered why the governmental Surgeon General warning on alcohol containers includes birth defects, driving and operating heavy machinery but doesn't include consenting to sexual encounters which next day might be regrettable. At least compared to "heavy machinery" it would be just as high or higher risk for the average citizen.

>Men can come up with ideas that are better than themselves. It seems you believe that this is not possible.

You seem very certain of my beliefs, especially considering that you are responding to a post wherein I asked two questions and made no statements.

Sure, questions have implications, and imply something as to the worldview of the person asking, but you seem to have a very certain, very black and white view of the world, which I think can only be described as incorrect because of it's very black-and-whiteness. Perhaps incorrect is the wrong term. I believe that human behavior can not be understood in black and white terms just because nothing any of us does is entirely good or bad, entirely self-consistent or hypocritical. You cannot understand ethics, history, or human behavior with an approach that can not see and deal with these subtle shades of gray.

It might not be correct now but at one point the Electronic Communications Privacy Act stipulated that data left on a server for more than 180 days is considered to be abandoned and the government can easily and legally access it.
I often see Neanderthals referred to as Homo sapiens neanderthalensis, so it's not quite as clear cut that they're a separate species. And indeed, by the definition of "a population that can interbreed and produce viable offspring", if many of us have Neanderthal genes then we would be the same species.

What about "rsync"? I use this command pretty often.
My immediate reaction and maybe yours too was "woah, including rsync?" And no, while rsync does indeed begin with a letter R, it is not being removed.
I really like your TLDR. It perfectly captures that nagging feeling I get about this business whenever I fail an accursed tech interview. No amount of informed commentary about the craft will suffice when they want somebody who knows the difference between the STL's reserve() and resize() methods.
I'm not saying we should get back to IRC or to NNTP.

I am. Not in the sense of go back to using them for everyting (they're still there if you want to), but int eh sense of building some new protocols on those existing foundations. NNTP was really good given its technical limitations. TBH I think part of the secret of Facebook's success is that it hews to the same ethos of standardization and simplicity, as opposed to myspace which quickly feel victim to its own customizability and ended up being as chaotic and hard to navigate as the web itself.

Motivation. There's something about being in a traditional educational setting - even one like a university where your level of presence and attention is up to you - that makes it easier to concentrate and to prioritize your studies over the other things you could be doing with your time.

I think part of that is simply being surrounded socially by other people who are there primarily for the purpose of learning.

That's very difficult for any online course to replicate, because as soon as you turn away from the computer you're out of the academic setting.

For me at least, that's the primary reason I've never been able to finish an online course.
Natural language provides a huge amount of overhead for doing math. If computers did math in terms of natural language it would be a lot slower for them too.
One important point about this. I've been lifting for 41 years now. Mostly on, with some off (end of grad school until my daughter was born, and some other intervals).

Be careful with on/off/on type modes. Squats and deadlifts will stretch large muscle groups. You can tear these more easily as you get older.

I know. I am recovering from hernia surgery 8 weeks ago. I was doing my normal leg press and squat portion of my routine. I didn't feel anything tear. Though I was pushing about 600lbs on the leg press. 2 days later I am in the ER with severe pain.

Granted, I am not a spring chicken, but I've found that after I crossed 35, my injuries took longer to heal. And if I took time off from my routines, I had to start building back up.

I started that building back up (only 9 weeks off so far, but still, I don't want it to be longer) yesterday and today.

Just saying, be careful. I think of myself as a kid. My body thinks other things.

It's not from Jefferson that we get "All men are created equal", but John Locke. Even the words Jefferson used to retransmit this thought were borrowed.

The idea that the Louisiana Purchase is inconsequential because of Jefferson's personal history is nowhere to be found on this thread.
Neanderthalensis, like Sapien, is a species name. When we talk about these things in the context of evolutionary biology, those precise terms tend to work better than a more broad and abstract word like "Humans."

But, in articles like this, you see mixed jargons. One academic source may specialize in evolutionary biology and its particular jargon, and another source may specialize in anthropology. Their disparate perspectives and jargons are filtered through the lens of a journalist who specializes in neither field.

Each group assigns a different meaning to these words.

There is a precise and correct word in the academic context for each category of early hominids, but it probably isn't realistic to expect writers to use jargon from a field other than the one they specialize in.
Very cool idea. Perhaps you could even push the logs into a real block chain...I think a few alt coins could facilitate that.

Make sure they wipe the injection sites with alcohol and use properly sterilized or disposable needles. (Give it with the same expectations you have for an injection.)
rsync is not one of the deprecated commands. I guess it's not considered an "r-command", although "sync" is also a command on its own.

Your last sentence is the point: it doesn't matter if there are alternatives which are either unused and so far the only company which has figured out how to out-drive Google is Facebook, hardly more responsive to the rest of the web's needs.

That was the problem: in search, Google effectively has no competition. The fact that there are other areas like social networking doesn't change the fact that if you're a website operator you have to work well with Google even if you can write off everyone else.
The fact that Jefferson owned slaves made an enormous difference to American history. Slavery is the original sin of our republic, and Jefferson was --- though not the worst of them --- among the cohort who helped ensure that sin was baked into our first Constitution.
Seriously. I always roll my eyes when somebody claims that acupuncture "doesn't work," because it's worked for me on multiple occasions. Typically, it comes from people who have never tried it.

A little over four years ago, I had a ton of shoulder pain. I went to two doctors, had an MRI scan, and was prescribed physical therapy. After all of that, I was still in pain, and neither of the doctors could figure out why, so I decided to try acupuncture for the first time. I went to Chinatown, got needles put in me, and got some electricity sent to my shoulder. I left the shop about 30 minutes later, and about 70% of my pain was gone. I woke up with next morning with only a tiny bit of pain left.

The pain didn't come back, even after months. I eventually found a doctor who figured out what was wrong, and through a better round of physical therapy, I was able to eradicate my shoulder pain permanently.

Maybe acupuncture didn't solve my problems completely, and of course it doesn't work for everything (e.g. weight loss, cancer, etc.), but to simply say that it "doesn't work" is ludicrous.

I mean, given enough competition (which I accept isn't a given), someone will decide getting all of the profit from a cure is worth more than competing for a slice of the treatment market.

I'm surprised they're still in there, at all. You can still get them on Linux, but that's just because of the way Linux distros are built; nobody is working on them as a core part of the OS. If they were in ports and just kinda stuck around due to inertia, that'd make sense. But, it seems like these are in the core FreeBSD installation, which is borderline crazy.

One of the (few) things I like about the BSDs over Linux is that there is a core system that is maintained by a unified team working closely together in the same repos and with the same communication channels and the like, and following the same standards for docs, interfaces, etc. I like that aspect because people with good judgement are in charge of the platform itself and you can just sort of assume the default installation is cohesive, secure, and has reasonable defaults. This is sort of an argument against that theory; there's nothing reasonable about having rsh/rcp/etc. on a modern system. I mean, it's mostly harmless, as long as you know enough to never use them and never allow any software you run to use them, but still...why leave a bomb just laying around?
He's not any kind of idiot.

While it may be a de facto special alias today, that status was much less certain when he got it. The time for his email provider to reject the address was when he requested it.
Completely unrelated.
Rsync is implemented in terms either of rsh or ssh. It's not an r-command. It's unrelated to "sync".
Polk north of Geary should really just be one lane (with a little room to maneuver) for deliveries and emergency vehicles. It sort of the perfect street for that kind of thing: has a ton a foot traffic, it's already slow for vehicles, and has tons of businesses that could add outdoor street seating.
It's almost as if you didn't notice that they guy has no idea about RFC's, postmasters or TCP. The provider is at fault here.

My learning style is Abstract, Connected, Historical, Written, Social

This means I need to understand the theory first and work down to practical examples (many people learn the other way around but not me). I need to understand how one set of abstractions or theories connects to others that I may understand better. I like to go back to origins, understand motivations, follow the evolution, and see what paths are thought to be dead ends (like machine learning was thought to be a dead end by many people around 2005). I only really understand things if I write them down and preferably write about them. I learn best when I learn with other people, my wife jokes that when I want to learn something I start a company.

Given my learning style, yes, I need to be learning several things in parallel, helps with the connections. I also tend to read too quickly so having three or so learning themes at any time helps me to slow down and reflect.

I have been tracking my learning in granular detail for about ten years using Excel. I am also tracking it on TeamFit.co Every year I build a learning plan (goals, resources, evidence) and track against that.
I struggled for ages with trying to keep "good posture", trying to position each part of my body correctly (shoulders back, etc). Once the importance of core muscles was pointed out to me, I saw that all I need to do was "turn on" my pelvic muscles and the other bits of my body fell into place without thinking about them individually. As the strength of these muscles improved due to a regular exercise routine, I found that I didn't have to consciously "turn on" pelvic muscles and they were strong enough to keep things in position by themselves.

The issue is when the unwanted folks follow the cool kids around. This happens a lot on Reddit. People will make a subreddit with the type of community they want. Others will join. Eventually people will complain that the quality has deteriorated. Then the cool kids will start a new one and migrate there. Rinse. Repeat... ad infinitum.

I always find it weird that people can't see alternative medicine is only used by advocates on problems than tend to come and go by themselves or are susceptible to placebo effect but any time something serious comes up like the problems you mentioned, people will turn to real scientifically backed techniques. Acupuncturist and chiropractors for example claim to treat much, much more than just back pain as well.
Quacks who repeat whatever their drug rep tells them. Can't be bothered to actually read the studies to see if they are rigorous or sham, that is, if they can actually tell the difference.
Not sure that I think in my sleep, but I definitely think on long bike rides, has to be more than 60 km though. I will sometimes set up a problem and then let it churn as I turn the crank. Restful and stress reducing too.
I'm the GP.

The reason why I'm replying is because I don't want people that can be helped by Acupuncture to reject it based on a misunderstanding of the claim.

I think there are several specific reasons why both the article which you link to can be true and also that acpuncture worked in my specific case and can work in cases that are similar.

First of all, as another reply alluded to, the article isn't testing for effectiveness for a specific problem. In fact, I believe, and continue to believe personally, that acupuncture may not solve for general problems. My half-joking, poke your foot to fix your liver being an example.

I would also like to point out that of all the things I tried, I had the least confidence in acupuncture. In terms of placebo, I was expecting and perhaps even hoping that it wouldn't work to prove myself right. In fact, I tried it almost mainly as a way to say that, "Hey! I tried everything. Even acupuncture! That's how you know I tried everything."

I had much higher confidence in everything else I tried.

I would also like to point out that the specific thing I think it solves is in releasing a muscle locked in spasm (though I may be getting the language wrong). I think if you don't have a muscle locked in spasm, it probably won't help.

My initial reaction to the improvement was that perhaps it was a coincidence. Although this seemed unlikely given that I had been trying for months with different practitioners and there was a difference before and after the session. I also thought that it was temporary and that maybe a day later things would revert, which they didn't.

I also felt that this was becoming more mainstream because I had some rehabilitation for an injured knee a few years later. Apparently I had a muscle locked in spasm (not the knee) and they used a needle to unlock it. Basically, put the needle into the locked muscle, move it a little, there is a physical jerk, and the muscle becomes unlocked.

Ya really, why stop at the atmosphere? Why not freedom to contaminate the water supply? Or salt the earth? What kind of logic is that?
Yes, work experience is way better than another degree. And sure, they have "nice to have" bio experience. But work at a bio-related company for two years, and now you have bio experience... and a real sense of what you really need to know. And maybe then you'll go back to school, or maybe you'll realize you don't need to.
My mistake it's not out of poverty, it's out of the lowest quintile of income.

IMO high grades are simply an indication of the ability to meet the expectations of either the Professor or the parents if they are paying tuition or even to yourself if that is how you measure success. Grades are not typically an indication of mastery of the subject matter because that comes with application of that which was learned rather than a recitation of that which was taught. Low grades, well they are a horse of a different color altogether.
And yet here you are advocating shutting up conservative ideas

Untrue. Jemfrost critiqued conservatism, rather than calling for it to be shut down. If you can't deal with criticism. I'd like to address the rest of your objections, but your starting out with such self-evident falsehoods suggests I'd be wasting my time.
What's wrong with a PCI-like compliance that ensures companies that affect this many people have their servers patched on a regular basis?

Rubber stamps like PCI compliance might look like time wasters. Not all of them are. Given the huge increase in the amount of online credit card transactions, the number of cases where payment information is compromised is very low. That is partly due to PCI compliance IMO.

Why after decades then has acupuncture not been shown to work in any rigorous high quality studies? It's not like it hasn't been studied and proper studies are significantly more reliable than acendotes.
It's disturbing. I suspect most of this community would be anti-anti-vax (pro-vax?). And if one were to suggest on this forum that "I vaccinated my child and they got autism, therefore vaccines cause autism", they would be met with the appropriate skepticism. But in this thread people are professing "I had acupuncture and got better, therefore acupuncture works" and somehow that's considered defensible.
Maybe that's another signal (along with the linked article) that the "science" in this arena hasn't advanced to the point of being repeatable and predictable.

It's ok to have the commands in there, because you never know when you're going to have to connect to a legacy system (in a recent scan I found 250k open telnet ports).

The thing that should be deprecated is the server.
> nobody is working on them as a core part of the OS. If they were in ports and just kinda stuck around due to inertia, that'd make sense

I mean, that's exactly what happened.

It's like if they were just old unmaintained programs in GNU coreutils. No one maintains them, no one uses them, but they keep getting included until a good argument is made to remove them.

Previous efforts to remove them were probably greeted with "well, someone might still use these tools." And placing them in ports is a little bit of work.

As you say, they were mostly harmless to keep.

Why, if this is how the market for medical services worked, would medical services cure any problem, when they could find ways to milk those problems for recurring revenue?

Yeah, surely if you were the first company to work out how to cure e.g. back pain or cancer you'd make an insane amount of money so you wouldn't keep it under wraps. Who exactly would stop you going to market with it? It's a silly conspiracy theory in my opinion.
