I discovered my Keto for weight loss and noticed a huge improvement in my IBS. That led me to r/ZeroCarb eventually and after a year or two of healing, I am now to the point I can have 1 high carb meal per week without a problem. I just have to take big breaks in between carbs or my body starts breaking down fast.
Former English major here.

Just my opinion but I think Joyce has not aged well in the internet era, particularly Finnegan's Wake (which the OP here seems most cynical about).

Joyce's allusions (there's an entire cottage industry of books dedicated to them) seem less impressive in 2018 than they did in 1918, since any fool with a smartphone has near-instant access to all the world's written works.

I still like the experimental nature of Ulysses. It's ambitious and thoughtful in a way you're not going to be challenged in, say, a John Grisham novel.

But take, for example, Molly Bloom's soliloquy, which ends the book and led to the obscenity trial in the US (it's widely interpreted that she's masturbating and the book ends with her orgasming) -- it's written without punctuation, but a Joyce scholar told me once of a study of people who read it that found people silently inserted the punctuation (mentally) as needed, sort of the way ancient Latin or Greek scrolls were writted/read.

He also said that few scientists or philosophers really believe nowadays the human mind works in streams (the term was coined in 1890), that short of mental illness humans think in linear patterns.

To me that's an example of a Joyce experiment that failed but I still admire his attempt at something unique and ambitious.

Finnegan's Wake, however, was Joyce off the deep end, and not worth anyone's time. You're much better off as others suggest in this thread reading Portrait of an Artist As a Young Man or Dubliners.

/my two cents
From the study [1] introduction:

> All the studies reviewed here were of Wi-Fi using the 2.4 GHz band, although there is also a 5 GHz band reserved for possible Wi-Fi use.

The study is recent (brand new) so this strikes me as an oversight to describe this band as "reserved for possible use."

I personally do not care about the naming. Name each place / country whatever you want. What I care about is the political games that are being played behind it.

People in this thread miss one point about FYROM, they want to use the name Makedonia with relations to the ancient Makedonas. Which in turns creates issues with the Greek nation.

Now with the new "deal" they will take the name North Macedonia but they strictly mention that they do not have any relation to the Ancient Makedonas. So at the end of the day, why didnt the two goverment or EU or UN take 20 historians and ask them, "guys do they bare the right to have that name?" Whatever the historians say should be the verdict.

Now as for the name, there is a reason it is being pushed right now. The balkans are a chessboard for many many years and we will see soon the effects on "North Macedonia".
From clicking through to Journal Full Abstract of the study they only looked at 2.4Ghz and not 5.0Ghz. This is a better link for the content: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S001393511...

Without commenting on if this is legitimate or not, a new band of spectrum for unlicensed use would be nice.
It makes you wonder if anything will change when this agreement gets implemented.

The official name is still FYROM and will switch to North Macedonia when the agreement starts getting implemented. In a few months or so.

Fatalities vs. False Positives: The Lessons from the Tesla and Uber Crashes
The entire argument rests on the understanding of malware ("Malware has a malicious intent, acting against the interest of the computer user" - Wikipedia). Most of the arguments against Microsoft, Apple, etc. point to features of the software that make certain processes possible (e.g. control over an app after it has been installed)
It just shows that framing the world as liberal/conservative , left/right, capitalist/socialist and expecting people to fall neatly and consistently into on of these camps is a stupid thing. People are much more complex and their actions in one area often don't reflect what they do in another. For example, there are probably racist environmentalists and racists who protect the environment which is something that shouldn't exist if you follow the usual beliefs about environmentalists or racists.
A related study by apparently the same author makes the following claim: "microwaves act through voltage-gated calcium channel activation to induce biological impacts at non-thermal levels, supporting a paradigm shift for microwave/lower frequency electromagnetic field action"

I find this paper rather flawed (article link: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S001393511... ).

I don't claim to be an expert on EMF effects on the human body, but I interpret his core claim to be that because the seven effect studies he cites had insufficient power to determine there was no correlation, there must be correlation because "similar" EMF studies did show a response, and therefore the effects should be considered established (ergo the fairly clickbait title). I use quotes for similar because it doesn't seem they were all that similar, which is why he objects to the studies he references.

If he had simply restricted himself to saying that more research was required because previous studies were inadequate (due to small sample size, methodological issues, etc.), I think this would have been a lot more defensible. Right now it reads like tinfoil hat time.
Interesting - was looking at some of the larger area ones in the US and learned that Santa Fe has a tiny airport - smaller than the one here near Bend, Oregon in Redmond. Seems Bend is bigger than Santa Fe for that matter... didn't realize that.

Which means that the Albuquerque one ends up as the largest, it looks like, followed (eyeballing it) by Elko?

This is exactly what happened with the Hambantota Port. Sri Lanka asked for billions in loans from China to build a second port in Hambantota, Sri Lanka. After it was built, the naval port didn’t get any shipping/cargo traffic so Sri Lanka couldn’t pay back the Billions. China offered to refinance the loan, how? Sri Lanka turned over control of the port to the Chinese Government under a lease of 100 years and Sri Lanka gets to pay a lower amount on the loan.

Now US Intelligence are seeing an uptick in Chinese Navy Warships patrolling the Indian Ocean and fears about Hambantota turning into a Chinese Military Port.

This is being called the String of Pearls Theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_of_Pearls_(Indian_Ocean...

Good for Apple for helping to save lives. As someone who's had to wait for an ambulance while someone is dying I understand how horrible that wait is and how desperately you want them to get to you as quickly as possible. The second part of this however is to ensure it's not open to abuse (by criminals or the government) for non emergency calls.
Media representation is very different from the science.

I fully believe you heard some fantastical reporting when you were a child, but that is a reflection on the journalism, not the science. Overall the modeling has been quite conservative, and has had good accuracy for such domains.

They basically all do that.

Well sure. If you basically redefine Malware to be "Anything other than GPL software", then you're going to consider most software malware. That doesn't mean it's the definition of Malware that most (i.e. all) other people will use, and it doesn't really advance the discussion. It mostly continues to make GNU look like fringe lunatics.

Moreover, whilst I don't really object to hyperbole in pursuit of a crusade, I don't greatly appreciate this type of cross-talk. It's hard enough to keep family members free of actual malware without confusing them with comments like "iOS itself is malware".

Almost completely practical, except maybe for the educational journey Forth imparts.
I'd go even further than that and say that foreign aid helps keep badly-run democratic governments stay in place (e.g. in Bangladesh).

Absolutely, there's some shady stuff going on in a lot of places, and they do post some good examples, but I'm not sure that their argument for free software is supported by their evidence.

I'm not sure what the alternative is - 100% free, non-monetized software? Is every piece of software to be developed gratis, and for every developer to rely on the generosity of strangers to make a living?

The old internet was so much fancy and weird at the same time. It was not mainstream, no one was talking about, security was a hilarious joke and you were feeling like some kind of an ultra combo hacker like those in the movies. I remember there was no router with a basic prebuild NAT "security" and you could just hack anything and almost everyone. I remember when I was a kid, I got hacked just by entering an IRC chat filled with hackers. If someone had your IP address and you had windows with netbios enabled you were a joke back in the days.

> Which in turns creates issues with the Greek nation

It creates zero issues for Greece. Alexander the Great died over two millenia ago [1]. Shortly after his death, the ancient kingdom of Macedon fell to Rome [2]. Again, over two millennia ago.

Instead of working on something productive, these two nations found something totally irrelevant to squabble over.

You might enjoy this video. It’s part humor and part technical discussion on how his talking “Banana” bot was brigades by users on Twitch in an effort to make him say racist words and phrases. After he got a strike on Twitch, he patched the software and then it got circumvented... terrific little video about the battle between him and his viewers and ultimately ends with his approach to sterilizing input so that the banana couldn’t speak anything harmful. I thought it was great.

> Promises are functors not monads

That's not quite true. `then` is a weird hybrid of `map` and `bind`. If its callback returns a Promise it acts like `bind` (you don't get a nested Promise), but otherwise it acts like `map`.

And to be pedantic, Promise is neither a functor nor monad because `then` doesn't follow the necessary laws.
The Estonian e-residency program launched in December 2014[1], so it's about 2.5 years old. I'd imagine that if there was a really compelling reason to set up a similar program other EU countries would have prioritized and launched.

To your point, perhaps Brexit will push a few more EU countries to follow Estonia's lead, although I'm not sure how successful a program could be without at minimum government endorsement, if not outright involvement.

> More American Exceptionalism and Navel Gazing (tm) This is not history, but rather rhetoric and nationalistic propaganda.

I read it as a rather damming characterization of the revolution and those behind it and participating in it, in both an ideological and logistical sense. It is an article about how someone generally vilified as a great traitor for his greed might have had more complex motivations.

Do you have specific instances in the article you would like to point out to support your point? Since my interpretation of it is at odds with your assesment of it, I'm left wondering if you actually are addressing the article in question, as your first paragraph seems to to indicate, or if you are just using it as a stepping stone to launch into your own diatribe?

I don't condemn you for holding those views, but I do condemn you for both forcing them into a conversation in a way they don't fit and with such condescension as to be detrimental to useful discussion. To do so implies that the reason for you speaking out was not inform or discuss, but simply to vent ant the expense of others, which is selfish in nature.

For anyone with the iOS12 beta, is there an opt-out for this system service in the Privacy -> Location Services -> System Services list?

What happens if "Location Services" has been disabled by MDM policy, or was never enabled since the device was setup?

On a new iOS11 device, if you decline to enable Location Services during setup, it stays disabled. Once enabled, it can no longer be disabled, and the system service "Share My Location" cannot be disabled, even if all other app and system services are blocked from accessing Location data.

You don't understand, they aren't actively looking at the data so it's not spying.

So are cars. The question is: Do we want to turn off Wifi for a minor health benefit?
I'm gonna guess rms.

I think proprietary software certainly has much potential for harm, particularly when it's unmaintained or defective by design, but that's kind of a jump to get to outright malicious. I think most people would define malware in that sense.
That detachment certainly has not harmed Terraform (some of the providers for which are used by Pulumi) - so I'm not sure it's as big an issue as you make out?
Can you share your thoughts on the matter? Thanks.
Wow that would be terrible news to wake up to.
What you're saying makes sense and is one viewpoint. I could see it the opposite way too:

In school, it's good for someone who doesn't know or care about epidemiology to get a slice of what would be useful to an epidemiologist. Likewise in reverse.

The reason Macs have always had nice topography is because Steve Jobs happened to audit a calligraphy class taught by a monk (who stopped being a monk because he met a nice girl).

I'm not banging the interdisciplinary drum- we all already know learning outside our interests is good. I'm saying it's probably a good educational tool to force students to look at problems based on their utility to someone else.

Sometimes the further a problem is away from being directly useful to you, the wider your horizons will be once you understand how to solve it, and (more importantly) why to bother.
