10 FALSE VACCINE SAFETY THEORY CAUSING IATROGENIC DISEASES
As a (former? never say never) injecting drug user of Heroin, methamphetamine, and quite a few other water soluble substances, I fully agree with the parent comment.

I never bothered getting addicted to Heroin. You have to stick to the rules: never use more than two days in a row and don’t use it consistently, if in doubt half your dose, and never use alone but always with at least one other who knows how to administer breathing assistance until paramedics arrive. Don’t take your dose at the same time as your buddy, wait to see if the first user has trouble staying conscious, 15 to 20 minutes should do it.

I think this has to do with the psychology of disgust sensitivity. Conservatives tend to have stronger senses of disgust than liberals and especially libertarians. "Smoking weed is stinky/gross/icky, therefore we gotta ban it."

Here's just one article on the link between disgust and political leanings:

As a personal anecdote about this, I support decriminalization/legalization for all drugs in all cases, not just pot. I not going to debate that here, but only share that to provide context for the following. Last year I visited Los Angeles. The entire time I was there I couldn't get over how bad everything reeked of marijuana. The AirBnB I stayed at was fine, but as soon as I walked outside and as I toured around the city I simply could not escape the smell of weed. It reminded me of the 80s when there was cigarette smoke everywhere, and it was highly unpleasant. I still support legalization, but I would be lying if I didn't admit that experience had me wavering.

There was an article in a French newspaper that details the real story about education changing in Turkey. The education system has moved from being mostly secular to being extremely orthodox islamic.

Newly brought in last year: jihad (and no, not "the peaceful kind"), and removal of evolution. New this year, the how righteous of the punishment of stoning is.

The illustration from that article was that several girls one day came home crying, panicked and scared from school. What had happened ? They had been shown a video of the stoning of a woman, and had to endure their teacher defending this as just for 30 minutes. Apparently this is now the new normal in Turkey.

Here's some related articles:

Governments will always do evil. Not to everyone, all of the time - but they are by nature evil.

When I wrote the War FTP Daemon in 1996, as freeware, this became a problem to me. I did want to give away my work for free, but I did not want any government agency to abuse it. So I came up with a solution - a GPL license with an additional clause - that the government - any government - could not use it for any purpose.

Someone actually complained to the Free Software Foundation about this clause, and they concluded, at that time, that it was permissible.

In years to follow I received many emails from universities, schools, hospitals, research facilities - with requests to use the software. In most cases I granted them permission. But by doing it this way, I could sleep well at night - knowing that my software could not - legally - be used to separate children from parents, or for any other evil purpose by any governments around the globe.

Tbf, there are several very complex host side features and customer support features that are not really readily visible to an Airbnb booker. I was trying to list my space and came across the workflow.
Throwing it in a git repository ensures that every person who clones it can readily republish it. Hosting said repository on Github, when anticipating an utterly massive spike in traffic, is an easy way to not have to pay for said spike in traffic (either from provisioning or data transfer).

I didn't look at what format the "database" is in, or if the size would make it (im)practical to simply zip it up and email it around, but if the format isn't readily consumable by non-technical people, there wouldn't be any reason to not utilize a tool like git anyway.
From my experience talking to different people in US, most of them on both sides of the immigration debate have zero clue what their immigration laws are even like. One theme that's particularly common is hearing "they should just get into the line and wait for their turn". They genuinely don't understand that there is no line for the majority of those people - they don't have any legal avenues for immigration at all, except for winning the diversity visa lottery (the chances for which for any individual person are so slim, no-one in a sane mind would plan around that as a strategy).

Using Generators as syntax sugar for side effects
> is this taken into account in all the models

It is in the relevant ones (having “all” in the question makes the question not meaningful).

Not only it is in the relevant models, but modelling all the effects includes the aspects that the most probably would never think about. E.g. “bigger crops” store C but it is “returned back” after harvesting. What matters is only what can permanently store C.
The very act of crossing the border is a misdemeanor, and thanks to Jeff Sessions' "Zero Tolerance" policy, almost every adult is being prosecuted, even if they are not dangerous and even if they apply for asylum.

In other words: A misdemeanor is still required. If you do not have a misdemeanor available, one will be provided for you.

>No, there can never be irrefutable, objective proof for something that is a best practice.

That's rather begging the question, isn't it? There cannot be proof for the one true way since it's the one true way (or as you call it, best practise)

>In my (subjective) experience TDD a) gives you really good regression tests and b) makes you create smaller functions that are more easily testable and c) makes people think harder about their code.

In my experience, only when those people tended to do that beforehand. And b) and c) don't hold true in my experience either (people are happy to write big functions so their tests pass).

c) is IMO not true either since it feels more like writing code to make tests pass not making code that fits requirements (unless you're good at writing requirements into tests but then why write code to tests code if you could write the code directly?)

>Especially in this case I find TDD very helpful, because it provides a kind of executable documentation of the requirements you just discovered you want.

That's not how that works. I'm sitting in the middle of a function, discovering requirements for that function while I'm writing it and running the application (ie, function does X but also should send an event to Y to clear the cache for user Z who triggered action X)

When you don't have any fixed requirements, applications tend to evolve in-vitro, which doesn't mix well with TDD which is an pre-vitro.
Tylenol aka paracetamol. Take one every six hours, as directed, and you'll be fine. Take two every six hours and you die painfully over the course of the next month. 500 deaths a year in the US alone... despite basically every house in the developed world having a bottle of it in a drawer. And it doesn't even have huge black warning labels with skulls and poison symbols! Street-quality Tylenol would kill people the way street-quality fentanyl does. Probably more.
So if I get this correct; this person wrote a program to gather information about individuals that may or may not be responsible for things related to the government agency and published that list with the intent that people who are angry about that should do what exactly? Contact them? Threat them? Stalk them? I see no other possible outcome of this action.

Either you:

1. Don't care

2. Use this information in a bad way, like harassing or stalking the individuals that are doing their job (I'm assuming).

I don't understand people who do this kind of things and also expect support and sympathy. You have none from me at least. It is great that Medium and Github removes such databases to protect individuals that probably are innocent.
In that case we should send copy of "The Design Of Everyday Things" to designer of the system.
> I dont understand this part. The potential for overdose on alcohol is high as well.

I think that the point about GHB that most people miss is the concept of therapeutic index, a term borrowed from the medical world (I've also seen it called "safety ratio" in the context of recreational drugs, especially since they're not being used therapeutically).

That is, the amount of GHB required to get the desired effect is very close to the amount necessary for an overdose.

> I can go buy a plastic handle for $10 and if i drink the whole thing tonight i'll probably die

Merely being easy to obtain doesn't make it easy to overdose, though. That "if I drink the whole thing" is an important part.

You do not, for example, need to drink 90% of that bottle just to get "buzzed". I suspect that the average person would feel sufficiently drugged well before making it halfway through (as even a fifth, even spread over an evening, is a lot of booze).

With drugs like GHB or ketamine, one needs to do the equivalent of drinking the vast majority of that overdose-quantity-bottle just to get high enough, so it's very easy to go too far accidentally. What's worse, what that amount is, and what that overdose amount is, are weight-dependent, and they can vary at different rates.

That's not to say there's no way of alleviating that risk, or at least reducing the possible harm (like maybe only allowing them in clubs adjacent to hospitals), but simply ignoring the legitimate increased accidental OD risk is unlikely to help.

Thanks for this, I never seen it once mentioned anywhere.

The thing is most sites seem to acknowledge the existence of GDPR but barely any makes an effort to be compliant. And I don't mean data requests and deletes, but basic things like forgoing opt-out abuse. Why annoy the users with popups if they are not going to be compliant anyway? It is a lukewarm cya attempt at best.
Let's be real. The defining thing of the web was the distribution model: you install a VM (the browser), and all the software just loads.

But the rendering/interaction web tech was designed for documents, not applications.

That browser VM is an OS in disguise. We should be able to use application development tools on it.

And seriously, there is obviously a massive commercial interest in legalized marijuana, hence we'll see more and more moves in that direction. The correlation with de-demonization (and de-criminalization!) of 'organic' drugs and widening of personal liberties is a side-effect, albeit a welcome one.

I’m sorry but this is not true. The depiction of Turkey by the french media is just false. This is NOT something normal.

In fact, for me, the Turkish education system works better than the French education.

And Islam is not part of the education at school in Turkey.

It happened once to me: in a 150k people company that had a well defined promotion model very similar to Google. I gave my resignation notice and suddenly all the HR pep talk was out of the roof. I gained two levels and was promoted to director level.I still left but felt stupid I didn't threaten to leave earlier.

It made me realize that there are two types of workers. The ones that will play fair game and believe the HR pep talk, as we just saw in the previous comments, and the ones that realize that the fastest way to go is to bypass this and play politics in order to fastrack it. It is another type of skill.
> It's unethical to require people from other countries that want to enter the US to follow certain, well established, legal protocols before they enter?

The contents of letter state that it is a reaction to the recent news that babies and toddlers of immigrants crossing the border illegally are being separated from their parents in the hundreds. We have no evidence that these parents have been charged with violent or other crimes of a nature that might justify the separation for the children's safety.

In no way does the letter assert that it supports illegal immigration, as I think your comment suggests. Rather, the letter accuses ICE of inhumane treatment of children in a way that violates international law.

So the letter cosigners might very well be strongly against illegal immigration. I am strongly against homicide, for instance. That being said, I would like our prisons to treat convicted murderers in a humane way. Just because I am against murder, it doesn't mean I want prisoners to be water boarded or starved or what have you.
There's a big difference between crazy conspiracy theories, like the moon hoax and stuff like that, and actual conspiracies, which can still exist, whether anyone theorises about them or not.

For example, to me it's pretty clear that Putin is trying to destabilise the West. This is a theory about a conspiracy, but it's supported by plenty of evidence from multiple sources, and it makes sense, because Putin really hates NATO. But there's no credible evidence that the moon landing was a hoax, and the theory is insane, because the USSR would have had to be in on the hoax and help the US defeat them in the space race.

So what about Tesla? Are there people and organisations that have reason to feel threatened by Tesla? Is there evidence that they're trying to sabotage Tesla? And are these cases unconnected or is there actual coordination? (Otherwise it's still not a conspiracy.)

I'm not criticizing, I'm pointing out some critical feedback loops that happen in our society.

> Have you ever left the city for a destination which is not another city, or a suburb?

Sure. My point is not about vacations, or Mars trips, but precisely about regular commute. As more people started having long-range vehicles, the landscape of work and living spaces changed so that now people are required to have such vehicles, and if you don't have one, you're significantly disadvantaged on the job and residential markets. The same thing happened with cellphones, bank accounts, plastic cards - cool tools at first, and then soon requirements for living in modern society. I'm just pointing out this phenomenon for consideration.
