That is correct. The recent versions of WhatsApp rely entirely on the system contacts. My wife has to e-mail or text someone to ask them to initiate a conversation on WhatsApp because she denies Contacts permission.

It used to be possible to add and initiate a contact within the app but that has been deprecated. Which leads to a terrible UX; why would I want to add a one-off contact like an airline or gig-organiser to my contacts just to ping them on WhatsApp? It just clutters my list, but of course Facebook loves it.

> adds a flag to the kernel command line "debug" - systemd sees that and thinks you want systemd in debug mode

A reasonable assumption, given that systemd is taking care of the whole OS, and if you want the kernel in debug mode, you’d reasonably want the system in debug mode too. But it’s not obviously correct, either, and ultimately it boils down to “who owns the kernel command line flags”. There was some kerfuffle about exactly that between the kernel and systemd people, but they eventually worked it out – I think systemd no longer tries to assert ownership of the "debug" kernel command line parameter.

One comment I've got is you might want to give users the option to receive notifications and updates for when you add new product categories. Or write frequent blog posts about it. I can see it being marginally entertaining to read about various things I may / may not be in the market for. It's a clean UI and much more pleasurable than browsing Amazon!
Even before checking what the data says, if this is a symbiosis instead of a simple infection, I would say the corn will benefit by large, and the energy balance will be in favor of corn.

Plants get energy from the sun, but can only use it to grow if the right nutrients are available. Nitrogen is needed for protein synthesis and must be readily available. So this is a win-win for corn and bacteria.

Synthetic NPK fertilizers are a way of giving plants what they need: generally, farmers will almost always put nitrogen regardless of what the soil already has, which has unintended consequences.

So this symbiosis has an added bonus for human communities.

Another way of making nitrogen available to plants is to plant mixed crops. The problem with corn is that the shoots are too close to each other to allow anything else to grow, which is something common in large scale agriculture, whose current practice is to make use of large patches of land dedicated to a single annual crop. Whatever is left from the harvest should and must be reintegrated into the soil.

Couldn't get rid of all the compulsions for quite a long time (a few years really), but after starting meditating every day I was able to nearly totally get rid of them.

I'm basically finally able to just let go of the thoughts that once seemed overwhelming.

EDIT: To quote the article "because deep down, the sufferer knows the thoughts and compulsions are irrational. However, despite this knowledge, there always remains a terrible “what if”.".

That's basically it, I'm able to finally rationally decide that letting go won't have bad effects, so I'm able to let it go.

Oh, I see. Thank you.

For anyone else confused, today is the first anniversary of the Charlottesville incident, where violence occurred between the "Unite the right" group, and a counter protest. A car was also driven into protesters, killing 1.

Today a state of emergency was put in place by the state, to give specific state powers to the police, to keep the peace.

I used keto diet for first 1.5 years after diagnosis. It only suits sedentary lifestyle, what you can eat is very limited and I got a lot of issues like severe constipation and acid reflux. Blood glucose was virtually always in normal range (meaning non-diabetic) and very easy to control though.

Now I just do a lot of strength training which ensures my muscles are almost always in a state of glycogen deficit. In that state they can absorb glucose from blood without any insulin which makes having normal blood glucose levels easy even when eating all the carbs (so I can eat truly normally and without the digestion issues). My hb1ac tests are the same as they were when using keto diet (healthy person values, not diabetic values).

Ok a few weeks ago. That’s what I meant. It registers as nothing to me.

You’re right. We haven’t heard. And until we do, we have every reason in the world to doubt it. Google is an utterly dystopian black box surveillance machine and these people have no clue.

This is so far from Marxist class consciousness it’s a joke. Means nothing and will accomplish nothing. This is isn’t even student body politics. They know not the first thing about community or conviction on the level of systemic worker oppression. And you don’t know what conviction is.

Don’t get your point about average Googlers. I didn’t use that phrase.

I really recommend everyone here look at Boots Riley’s new film ‘Sorry To Bother You’.

I know many japanese people (I am a go player) and I am very interested in this culture. When I have read the books of Amélie Nothomb, it was perfectly in line with my discussions with these people. The movie and book "Fear and Trembling" are excellent illustrations of Japaneese society. I have never seen japanesse people as collectivists. I do not understant why it would be a common view in America. AFAIK, it is not a common view in France.
Weaponizing old, out-of-context tweets is just the new alt-right playbook. James Gunn is the other obvious example.

Yes, these people posted things that were bad ideas. They also apologised, made it clear they were not serious about what was said, and moved past it.

To claim it makes their entire coverage of racism incoherent is... misleading at best. Imitating the masses of people trolling you as a joke may be a bad idea, but it's not comparable to the racism sustained by minorities that regularly damages their quality of life. Pretending the two things are the same is severely downplaying the severity of the latter.

People grow, change and learn. I've known people who used to be racist, and I don't hold it against them, because they have changed and deserve a chance to be a part of society, as long as they don't act like that any more.

Trying to stop anyone on the left who has ever made a mistake from having a voice, long after they made those mistakes is insane. The fact that alt-right voices arguing in bad faith are actively targeting the people trying to change the very issues at hand shows the issue.

> a lot more collectivism

I see it too but rather than just Confucianism I think that individuals are too clueless to drive anything on their own and end up leaving decisions and directions to "consensus" instead of relying on what they can do themselves.

I rather blame education in Japan, which is absolutely terrible and actively destroys bright minds from an early age.
I did not call the NYT a far left magazine.

I said their reporting on EUROPEAN politics ("politics here") copies points from the far left (e.g. all mass migration is unquestionably good, parties against it must be right wing populists if not racists, etc).

I think their reporting on campus politics, identity politics is also far left, but other than that their stance on Iraq war etc is more Hillary-left than traditional 'left'. It's pointless semantics though, outrage mode is already engaged in this thread and it will probably soon turn into a dumpster fire.

Someone cannot just be wrong or inaccurate, they must be the enemy ('right rant'), and culture wars demand I first clarify I am on 'the right side of the issues' before saying anything. The more objective people think they are, the blinder towards their own bias. Of course I am biased too, but what people engage with in my post is the 'far left' comment on European politics instead of the actual point.

My point was that the NYT engages in culture war because it sells. I can agree with many issues on the NYT but still observe that and be annoyed by it, but that does not matter in tribalistic discourse.
The NYT has been paying roughly the same amount each year for production of news for the last few years, and a steadily increasing amount of "general, sales and admin", even as their gross income from subscriptions has shot up, and their income from advertising has plummeted.[1]

I really struggle with that. That isn't how this is supposed to work. Escaping the broken advertising model and moving to a reader-funded model is supposed to give you scope to shake off overheads, to clarify your business's purpose and to slimline and focus operations to improve the quality of content at the price point. That's the mantra for the new renaissance of journalism, in which the NYT has been hailed as a massive success story.

I don't by any means mean to denigrate the NYT - they produce some excellent reporting, but it seems that from a business perspective there is something askew here. The Guardian in the UK has managed to do exactly what was expected - the proportion of their staff who are journalists has increased steadily for a decade as their revenue split has shifted towards subscription, and their finances have steadily improved (they're still not in the black, but it looks like they will be this year, for the first time since the business model fell apart). On the other side, it seems like the NYT are posting profits, but without fundamentally reshaping the business.

There is a massive backlash in this thread against dark patterns to prevent subscriber loss and continued advertising even after subscription. It feels like the company may be selling the goodwill and brand value that are the cornerstone to the reader-funded, reader-focused new age of journalism in order to get their profit margins looking healthy, despite failing to cut overheads, which is where the profit increases in this new model ought to be coming from.

I would really, deeply like to be shown to be wrong. We need sustainable, reader-funded businesses producing great journalism and I want to think the NYT is one of them.

It's not though. The title already makes it quite clear that what follows is just an opinion. That being said, the article seemed kind of lacking in substance beyond what was already said in the title.
This subject quite simply comes down to people wanting to express personal politics in the office and forming collectives or trends around a given opinion.

(I am not saying anything for or against the politics motive.)
Is being neutral reporting on facts or is it reporting a viewpoint at the middle of the two parties? Those are two very different things.

As someone from the UK, a country that is pretty far to the right of most of Europe, and yet still far to the left of the US, the idea that these publications are biased to the left is, frankly, laughable.
There is a ton of interesting, varied, creative and surprising music out there, but you have to look for it, nobody is going to spoon-feed you.

What you say is absolutely true for mainstream popular music, and has been for a long time. But delve into niche genres, and the scenes are more vibrant than ever.

I'm a huge metalhead, and right now, I have ~150 albums in my "I should give this a deeper listen, it sounds interesting" folder on Spotify, and about an equal number of bookmarks from Bandcamp and the like from smaller indie bands and solo projects that aren't on Spotify.

This is purely within my preferred corner of death/thrash/power/prog/black metal. There are so many great, interesting and varied albums coming out all the time, that I actually have to be rather picky about what I choose to give more than a cursory listen. And I don't even really touch most modern "mainstream" metal, this is almost purely the nastier semi-obscure stuff (where 10,000 plays for a track on Spotify is huge).

Yes, a lot of music does sound similar to other music. That's what having an established genre means. But there is huge variety going on in the less mainstream corners, where fans are more dedicated and open to experimentation.

I'm not aware of any groups so this is entirely anecdotal too: My doctor is quite happy about how I manage T1 on low-carb. I went back to some-carb after talking to their nutritionist who plugged beans and lentils.

I don't see the point of going keto, but reducing carbohydrates to a very low amount simplifies therapy a lot. Now I eat carbohydrates in the evening only.
If one buries them afterwards. If not, they will eventually die, rot and release the carbon back to the atmosphere.

But eutrophication has other issues: it is harmful for animal life and it unbalances the ecosystem, degrading biodiversity and overall making natural carbon sequestration poorer.

Maybe in a controlled setting, one could use a dragnet to harvest algae and use it for fertilization. That would certainly improve the efficiency of nitrogen usage.

Since everyone is talking about the "racist" tweets. Maybe we should also remember how Sarah dog piled onto Naomi Wu.
If history is a guide, the research will go on and these protest movements will have only a superficial effect. Just compare Draper Laboratories to Lincoln Labs. Both were MIT-owned partnerships focused on military research. MIT divested of Draper and it was spun off on its own during Vietnam, while they still hold their stake in Lincoln today. Why the difference? Because Draper is in downtown Cambridge, where students could easily protest, and Lincoln is way off in the Boston suburbs. In any case, both labs continue to carry out military research and maintain very close relationships with MIT and its graduates. As long as the military continues to pay well, researchers and tech specialists will continue to work for them.

When I'm in "dumb user" mode, especially on mobile, I get very irked when I search for something (on Google, because no matter how much I like DuckDuckGo on principle, the results are just not good enough), tap on a link and find myself on a google.com address AMP. It's an irrational response, but I do feel like I've been swindled/misdirected; on mobile in particular it's annoying because if I want to link the page to someone I don't want the AMP link, and the process of getting the "real" URL is several steps too many. Not to mention the valuable real estate taken by the AMP sandwich button toolbar.

My non-technical significant other and my dad have repeatedly asked me if those pages are safe to visit: after training them for years on the heuristic of mistrusting a page where the URL doesn't match the expectation, AMP is now breaking it for them and causing unnecessary insecurity.

It is a little hard in these days and age where talents went unnoticed if you actually tried. And by talent I don't mean just being good or very good. You have to be the best, not just in your class, your state, but in your country or even the world.

Now if you are only very good, ( which in itself is great, you could be the top 5% in the industry, or even top 1% ) you will need some connection and luck. The problem is there are only finite amount of popular song writer writing for best music. And that space is likely to be limited to a double digit personnel.

It is like Formula 1, there are only a handful of drivers in Formula 1, but they represent the best of the best in the world. You don't want a centimetre off Apex, you want them to be in millimetres. These best of the best may only be 4 - 10 faster even on the same cars, but you could spend the rest of your life time never be as fast and as consistent as they are.

You are not and were never prevented from accessing your own data. You keep repeating that while also mentioning you have options to access it.

You may not like the options you have to access that data because you have different needs than most other people. But insisting you're not allowed feels more than just exaggeration.

Open banking means it's not 100% proprietary and exclusive to each bank, it doesn't mean they have to open all doors and say "do what you want, I'm not even here". Regulation is there with a reason especially when dealing with such sensitive topics. You get access but you have to meet some conditions and the bar will be set according to the sensitivity: confidential personal data and actual money? It's going to be pretty high.

People are more than happy to blame regulators when they fail to put measures in place to protect people from major issues but will complain nonetheless if the regulation is there.

This is great! Our company sells seed and fertilizer to smallholder farmers, and so I feel pretty comfortable saying that under application of Nitrogen on crops in the developing world is one of the biggest causes of poor yields and also an incredibly difficult problem to solve. (We do an incredible amount to make distributing fertilizer in 100kg increments and it's still a logistical nightmare.)

It's a 9 month variety instead of a 3 month variet, and so if I was making a rough guess, I'd say that the most likely outcome is that this leads to a ~20-25% reduction in fertilizer use after it's bred into main crop lines (at least initially.) Honestly though, now that this trait is around, it's going to be a lot easier for big seed companies to breed improvements into this. This is huge, and incredibly exciting.
