Says who?

Ah, you've got me. Literally no-one in the history of humanity has ever suggested that the particular configuration of our universe, suitable for the formation of complex accumulations of matter, is surprising, improbable or unlikely. I completely fabricated that notion, which had never before been expressed by any person, from whole cloth.

Or, you know... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine-tuned_Universe for an introduction and some bibliography. If and when you eventually come round to the idea that perhaps this is something people have thought, talked, and argued about, we can continue from there, but I'm having an extremely difficult time assuming good faith on your part right now.

Incidentally, some of your other questions about whether anyone has ever at any point in history said or done something with respect to anthropic arguments will be touched on even in that introductory Wikipedia article.
Snake oil already seems to be a problem, with CBD oil.

A nurse I know told me about a woman who had been treating her breast cancer with CBD oil, convinced that CBD cures cancer. She finally went to the hospital when her entire breast became necrotic, and died not long after that.
A friend's Renault Zoe EV has a 'whoosh' noise generator which thankfully can be disabled in the fusebox.

To me it would be more sensible to only trigger a noise generator upon feedback from the parking sensors, instead of polluting the environment with constant sci-fi noises.

How the chicken is processed depends on the supermarket. At many places you can just ask them what they do and they’ll be glad to tell you.

That said, brining chicken prior to roasting is very common. I do it myself and it is almost essential for free range chicken which tends to have more blood near the bones, brining helps mitigate that. The other stuff is more or less just spice rubs. YMMV, depending on your supermarket. Roast chicken tends to go fast so I would be surprised if they need to use preservatives.

I didn't quite get why snap is needed in the above case. Doesn't lxd itself already offer sandboxing?

For Wine, something like snap / flatpak can be useful to get that sandboxing without running a full blown container.
Unsurprising. In Con Law and Crim Pro we basically skipped the border cases because the upshot is that you have no rights at the border. That’s been the law since King Tut.
The boiler room tactics seem similar to Trump University. I believe that was primarily targeted at retired people though.

Thanks, this looks helpful. If you have a friend who's a native English speaker you might ask them to read it over for you. There's some awkward phrasing and tenses used throughout (I'm guessing you're European). Not complaining about free education, just trying to be constructive.
I'm a kiwi and did the reverse and moved to Scotland. I do know a number of people who were offered jobs in NZ while still abroad. Technical sales, developer, psychiatrist. That's just anecdotal, but it's definitely possible.

However my approach in moving to the UK was to actually show up to look for a job. Seems to me like it's very different having a faceless person send in a CV from the other side of the world, compared to them walking through your front door wearing a suit, shaking your hand and saying 'Hi, my name's Peter'. If you're right there in front of them they know you're serious, not just firing off random speculative applications. And human nature is that you form an opinion of someone within moments of meeting them, so if that opinion is positive you'll be treated very differently to an email sitting in their Inbox. If someone then asks 'Do you have a visa?' then you can explain that if they offer you the job then you will get the visa and have that conversion with them.

I understand that approach may be more difficult to commit to than applying remotely, due to current job, family, financial reasons - but it worked for me.
>>the same people moving the goal posts

Perhaps, but I see this from the pro-climate-change side, too. First it was a "coming ice age" (1970s) then it was Al Gore banging the "global warming" drums (1990s), now it's simply "climate change" (either/or) -- "heads I win, tails you lose." It's intellectually dishonest.

There is a very important reason to inquire as to whether mankind is the cause of global-warming, or merely an observer. If man is the cause, then perhaps there is a chance to prevent it; we might ask what action might one take. If man is merely the observer (e.g. the sun is to blame) then our odds are infinitesimally small for having any positive effect whatsoever, and quite large for having unintended consequences.

It is not "denial" to ask for evidence, untainted by politics or opinion or data clouded by curve fitting and backwards adjustments to "compensate" for who-knows-what but always in a way that predicts gloom and doom and fosters continued grant money. That raises suspicion of any open-minded person and especially the cynical.

Personally, the groupthink hysteria surrounding this "settled science" alarms me much more than the .5 degree C/century temperature increase observed. I have lived long enough to remember the panic about the world starving to death in the 60s, the coming ice age predicted in the 70s, and recall scientists literally laughing about the idea of bacteria being responsible for ulcers, high-fat diets being "deadly", cholesterol and salt is bad for you, etc. Trends change and science moves ahead, often not hand-in-hand.

finally, you should drop the ugly "denier" label. lumping in those who ask for evidence for global temperature change with those who deny the occurrence of the holocaust is sickening and has no place in reasonable discourse.

Of course the full app is a completely different thing.
> The US manages the value of its currency indirectly but the market sets the price.

The market sets the price based on (amongst other things) interest rates, and the US sets the interest rates however it's more convenient for its trade.

Are you saying that one is acceptable and the other one isn't? To me it seems that the difference is one of degree. I'm highly suspicious of anyone who says that this difference is a good justification for tariffs.
Well, yeah, that's kind of the point - to disincentivize harmful behaviour. The solution is to commute less, or get a vehicle that isn't so terrible for the environment. You're not really supposed to just keep wrecking the Earth, heave a big sigh, and pony up the tax...
Determinism in math is countered with randomness. You can abstract over the randomness to get absolutes but within the realm defined by randomness, you can still obtain meaning by hacking away at it.

Many things we think are random aren't entirely so. So you can have fun using your brain to tease out the factors and then eventually master your approach to the randomness.

Math allows us to not have to endlessly solve the same problem over and over and over again.

My bad, by choice I meant a wider array of drugs whereby this larger array implies better matches of drugs to treat illnesses more effectively.

Let’s say drugX works well enough on 85% of patients and drugY works well enough on 5% of patients. It’s better to have both drugs available than just the one that treats the majority of patients.

I think the answer is yes and no depending on your needs. I don't have a lot of experience with the Kubernetes NetworkPolicy which does support selector based allow/block of communication between pods, but I believe it does not encrypt the traffic itself (although you could always do so on top of the network layer). It also is constrained to only controlling communications within Kubernetes and requires an actual controller to implement the networking. Consul Connect does use a sidecar proxy for intra cluster communication, but in addition to just the authorization it also does a mutual TLS and can allow that secure communication to endpoints outside the cluster. It now occupies a space very similar to Istio: https://www.consul.io/intro/vs/istio.html

> because in the framework of the law, we are not to deprive another person of rights or possessions without demonstrating they have done wrong.

Does the employee have a right to unconditionally (employment law and preexisting agreements notwithstanding) continue depriving the employer of his compensation? That seems, to me, completely unjust. Not only is this unjust to employers, but it is hostile to prospective employees as well: How many companies that you've worked for would hire you if they knew they could never let you go? How many of them would avoid giving raises because they would be expected to continue that scale of compensation until you're dead?
Most smart people driving in London are going to leave their car's climate control on the "recirculate" setting whenever possible. That gives you a more-or-less closed environment, running cabin air back through the car's filters rather than sucking in dirty air from the street.

But cyclists and pedestrians have no such luxury - they're breathing in the filth whenever they're on, or near, a busy road.
Visualization and Gamification with Unity for Various Domains
Why would a species want to colonize a galaxy? You’re talking about insane travel and communication times after all, and spreading very thin. Sticking to a single system or handful of systems while controlling reproduction rates is a solution that achieves the same ends without spreading your species so far that it amounts to a million different civilizations. At some point over such distances you’re not colonizing anything, just throwing generations into the night with no hope of a return. That same energy could be used to engineer a structure or structured for those same beings to live within a reasonable distance of each other.

The whole Fermi Paradox reasoning is flawed, because the assumptions are flawed.

Challenge to Santa Monica’s “Anti-Airbnb” Law Dismissed–Homeaway V. Santa Monica
Issues today include snakeoil salesmen, but something else too. Maybe you would call it fad folk medicine. Snakeoil without the salesmen. People writing and sharing elaborate health advice not for profit (maybe for clicks) having little or no connection to science.
That's why you tax it. The benefits of taxing vices and other negative externalities like single-use plastic items is multifaceted: the consumer will start to think twice about the added cost, the firm providing the item is incentivized to look at alternative methods, and the government gets additional tax revenue (that ideally goes toward the damage that the item does to society/environment/etc).

It's not the state's job to tell me what I can and cannot do. They should, however, nudge me toward what they'd prefer.

Ask HN: Will you pay for a self-hosted blogging solution
I'm thinking about offering a blogging service targeted toward tech-savvy people. Basically, Svbtle[1] but self-hosted in your DigitalOcean account. You pay a single one time fee and there is an optional subscription for updates, and technical support.

There will be a minimalistic publishing interface. A single theme. No advertising, tracking or any other stuff. The catch is that once you have it installed, you are free to do whatever you want.

Will you pay for a service like this?

Any suggestion? I'm stuck on this problem right now at work, don't like Traefik at all for the same reason as you, liked Docker Flow Proxy but it's not configurable enough and, similarly to Traefik, the documentation is quite bad if you need to do something a little more complicated (like, IP access control!).

> The biggest problem here is information asymmetry.

This gets to the heart of a question I've always had about unfettered markets, and never seen answered.

It's widely acknowledged that markets don't just satisfy demand, they also transfer information. If you know something other people don't, you can make money, but in doing so you'll gradually disperse your unique knowledge until it's no longer valuable. (Either directly, by selling it, or indirectly, as people see that you're consistently willing to make transactions other people wouldn't.) At best, this is a payout for the productive activity of spreading knowledge (the argument for arbitrage). At worst, it's a short-term scam that's self-negating.

This is all true. Timeshares spread information because people noticed "if this is such a great deal, why do you have to pay people to listen to the pitch?" And so timeshares got a horrible reputation with most people. When I talk to hard libertarians, anarcho-capitalists, and so on, this is their argument - it took some time, but the marked worked even with asymmetric information.

But... new information can be created, at least in economic terms. Timeshare pitches now have segments on why this timeshare isn't a scam like the old ones. There are new names for things that basically amount to timeshares. The focus of the scam has moved from high interest to high fees.

And so the scammers constantly 'make' new information that disadvantages everyone who lacks it, and get money spreading that information to the populace. Is the pure-markets system supposed to not have this problem, maybe by correcting too fast to reward the scam? Or is it just accepted that there will be some large and stable amount of scamming at all times?
I wish there was a simpler way to use Brotli with Nginx: at the moment, either you have to compile from sources, either rely on a PPA to use a special build of Nginx (and an extra module) instead of the one from the LTS packages, even in 18.04.

I'd especially like to use Brotli because it has good support in modern browsers (pretty much everything except IE11) and would be good replacement for gzip (which should be disabled for HTTPS).
I’d like to see them explore truth (or close enough) rather than other tangential ideologies.

The government has no obligation to protect people from themselves; only to resolve disputes and determine whether a party actually violated the rights of another or the state.

Public health is a worthwhile expenditure intended to help people make good decisions about their health and safety

As a community, we require standards with which to resolve disputes brought before the court: trade disputes, liability disputes; disputes over loss and infringed rights. In the status quo, such disputes involving illicit substances are resolved by the parties themselves: in the streets. Consumers are very unlikely to implicate themselves or their suppliers in order to bring safety to the market: child-safe packaging and labelling, liability insurance.

Should we require (1) legislation-justifying research to be held and made available for further review; (2) bills which intend to achieve a particular objective to be achieving that objective within a predefined amount of time according to an agreed-upon set of criteria before we continue to throw money at a failing approach?

Does Strict Scrutiny - developed to resolve 14th Amendment Equal Protection cases - implicitly require a bill which is transgressing literally our highest law ("Equal Justice Under Law") to be achieving the public safety interest it intended to solve?

For precedent, In Korematsu (1944) the court ruled that Equal Protection could be set aside in order to send Japanese-looking people to internment camps.

The age-old claim that CBD is not medically useful for any person with any condition is now disproven by the FDA's clearance to market Epidiolex; we should be asking how such an invalid assertion remained on the books; and whether it's ever been legal to differentially prosecute on the basis of disability.

THC is already recognized as on-label medically useful for AIDS and Cancer wasting. THC and other cannabinoids and terpenes may counteract some of the side-effects of just CBD.
