I'm with you, I don't cookie up any of my websites and have no intention of doing so. (Right now, my sites are super-primitive; my main one I've had for 22 years or so, but I'll be doing more).

But I do need to say that third-party fonts are not the problem here, or shouldn't be. Neither Google Fonts[1] nor Typekit[2] sets cookies. I don't know off the top of my hand if any of the other services do, but if so I would agree it's a good reason not to use them.

Disclosure: I helped launch Google Fonts and was involved in the decisions to make it privacy-friendly.

Your points are fair. I just want to say that I'm completely aware of these criticisms on naturopathy, gaps, and Joe Mercola in particular.

And I can agree with the argument that many who identify themselves as "alternative practitioners" are scammers or just ignorant.

But.

1. Just because there are scammers among naturopaths or gaps practitioners it doesn't mean that those practices are completely worthless. A "real" naturopath's or gaps practitioner's approach to chronic disease can be immensely helpful, arguably much more than an ordinary hospital doctor.

2. If you don't trust naturopaths or gaps practitioners that's completely fine because the concerns you raised are fair. That's why I recommended a "functional medicine practitioner" before them, so check that out.

3. Mainstream medicine has its own share of problems, which in turn pushes people like me to naturopaths and gaps practitioners because they were the ones that helped me greatly. (the right ones) Mainstream medicine especially fails in diagnosing and curing chronic diseases, like food allergies.

Alternative medicine is in dangerous waters; while I argue that it has great value, one should be armed with proper knowledge in order to tell right from wrong, scammers from real practitioners, thus get the benefit.

If you are in doubt, check out "functional medicine" which was the first thing I mentioned. It is an approach that combines the good parts of both mainstream and alternative medicine as far as I understand.

Doctor on demand: How app culture is reviving the house call (2017)
Hmm, I mostly agree with you. To be clear though, I'm not talking about plot summaries. More like it accretes into shared cultural wisdom and values.
Sad. Apple seemed interested, at one point anyway.

But damn, it does work amazingly well site-to-site. I've managed ~50 Mbps throughput using bbcp (four streams) between Tor .onion services via OnionCat. And ~190 Mbps total from one source transferring simultaneously to five target servers. Each peer had six .onion services.

With six OnionCat interfaces per peer, in MPTCP full-mesh mode, there are up to ~36 subflows per TCP connection. So using bbcp with four streams, there are as many as ~150 tcp6 connections via Tor per bbcp transfer. And with five simultaneous transfers, the MPTCP kernel in the source VPS was managing up to ~750 tcp6 connections. That's impressive!

This is true, but importantly bitcoin is easy to obtain (assuming internet access), validate, and store/transport.

If you’re in Venezuela it’s hard to get your hands on $5000 USD and convince other people it’s legitimate.

Gold coins might be a good option but
A) You’d better keep them well protected and

Planet Money had a great two part episode[1] on this and how it came about, and the guru who advocated it. Particularly fascinating was the gigantic PowerPoint presentation they embedded that formed the pitch deck for the proposal. It's one of my go-to examples now for why sometimes engineering-style systems thinking can be disastrous upon meeting reality, particularly in something as people-driven as an economy.

Interesting. I'd considered this, but was worried about failure cases. Seems tricky.
A different way to phrase this might change the assumptions. Demand for funds to do many civics projects in California and elsewhere is legally bound to involve stakeholders before funds can be considered. This software environment builds detail-rich mapping, both current conditions and also a proposal (or three). The result is a quantitative data set that can be visualized and queried. That data environment is on the table of each stakeholder, so that discussion can be grounded with detail, and attention put to specific content.

The scenario-sketching is available for private developers, public actors and government too, for their respective processes. SO it is not the tool that makes change.

How much use do you get out of the pure electric range on the C-MAX? I have a Chevy Spark EV and can make almost all trips I need. My longest is Oakland to San Jose and back. It has only 18kWh battery, but in warm weather we see 4.8 avg miles per kWh.

Perhaps solar would help solve your daytime rate problem? Or a car with more battery?

Closet 'pataphysics: pataphors explained
I agree wholeheartedly. During my PhD, I did a big data compilation in my field (the fluid dynamics of certain spray nozzles), which ended up convincing me many commonly believed things in the field are false. I'm currently planning at least 3 paper on the issues I've found. This took a lot of time, but ultimately would save even more time and money if people were willing to fund it. I did the work while I was a teaching assistant and doubt many funding agencies would be willing to fund someone for a semester on this.

I'd like to be a professional reviewer. The closest existing job is a patent examiner, but they incentives there aren't great either. After my PhD I intend to at least do some consulting on the side, and perhaps "professional reviewer" could be a service I could offer. Worst case is that no one wants the service.

The light from the flash spreads out with the inverse square law, so you get much less signal compared with collimated laser beams. To compensate for that, you need much higher power. To get more power without blinding people, you need to use 1550 nm. This requires large arrays of exotic gallium arsenide semiconductors, which are expensive.
Electric fields used in this way have long been used in commercial products, e.g. Amaxa nucleofection (https://bioscience.lonza.com/lonza_bs/CH/en/nucleofector-tec...) and Neon electroporation (https://www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/references/gibco-cel...). I used both a decade back on mammalian cells. Bog standard electroporation has been used far longer back for bacterial cells.

This is something I assume to be true (based on the assumption that most of Venezuela’s population has open internet access), but it probably only applies to people with at least cursory technical knowledge. Maybe ~5% of the population, optimistically.

But you can extrapolate from present-day Venezuela to future runaway-inflation crises, at which time (again, making an assumption here) bitcoin and the internet will be more accessible/prevalent.
Isn't the rocket equation just a momentum equation? Does it escape that? If we brought something up, would we not pull the satellite it's attached to down, requiring more momentum from somewhere?

Earning a Nobel prize helps.
The big problem with rockets is actually that you have to carry your propellant with you, and progressively waste energy accelerating your own propellant. Finite time or limited thrust don't actually affect this (increasing the exhaust velocity does though -- at the cost of energy efficiency). It's the infamous tiranny of the Rocket equation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsiolkovsky_rocket_equation)

To get near 100% efficiency, it follows from the kinetic energy formula and conservation of momentum the body you're pushing against must have a much larger mass than you[1].

So discounted exotic phenomena, the only way to travel efficiently through space is to push off a very large mass, departing at full velocity, or in the case of near-Earth travel, simply push Earth.

The space elevator is essentially an elaborate staircase. It is in a stable equilibrium, and climbing it doesn't steal energy from the counterweight (which in fact doesn't move in fact because it is in constant tension); you're just pushing Earth away.

In the grand scheme of things the very low efficiency of maybe 10% (in my guesstimation) to LEO isn't so bad (not even the maybe ~5% interplanetary efficiency); especially considering the costs of space systems in general in comparisson to fuel cost. This small fuel cost makes reusable rockets quite an attractive option near term (as noted by SpaceX).

But long term, that's quite a steep inefficiency. If we were to endeavor large scale colonization or exploration of exoplanetary resources it seems to me either a kinetic launch system or at least a space elevator variant would be a necessity.

[1] Derivation: M1 v1=M2 v2 => v1^2 = (M2/M1)^2 v2^2;
M1 v1^2 + M2 v2^2 = E => M2^2/M1 v2^2 + M2 v2^2 = E;
M2 v2^2 (1+M2/M1) = E => K2 = E/(1+M2/M1).

As M1->infinity, all the kinetic energy goes to K2 and none to K1 (which is why you don't give Earth any meaningful energy by walking).

There are certain things that you can’t fully appreciate until you have experienced life enough for the material to be relateable. When I was in high school and college I hated history. I classified it as a “memorize and regurgitate” busywork subject.

Now I read history for recreation and can’t get enough, largely because now that I’m older and understand enough of how society works that I can understand the chain of events better. Reading history is almost like applied psychology.

Lawful access when they have hoover everything for "security" and actively undermine everyone's security when they have the most to lose from insecurity too. The damn fools also fail to realize the law doesn't change reality - throwing a gun used in a crime in the ocean makes it nearly impossible to find the murder weapon but that doesn't mean that you can stop the ocean from convealing evidence.

If they cared about lawful access they wouldn't be facing such widespread proliferation of encryption. They are clearly acting in bad faith and should be treated appropriately.

I don't understand a lot of it either, however my intuition tells me that it can be interpreted like just another state change.

My understanding of the transitions of matter between solid, liquid, and gaseous states is that it is primarily due to the amount of energy in the system. The more energy a particle has, the more likely it is to break its bonds with other particles around it and transition to another state. We tend to think of individual atoms being in some way the 'final' state once we reach some gaseous form, however it is not that great a leap to consider putting so much energy into the nucleus of an atom that its nucleus 'evaporates' into protons and neutrons (hadrons), and from there putting so much energy into those hadrons that they too evaporate into their constituent quarks. The difference in each case being that enough energy must be present to overcome each necessary nuclear force.

To be fair though, this is all very theoretical from what I've just read, and we don't truly know what happens yet.

> I have quit facebook too because I was mentally unstable.

I think this very effectively distills the essence of his blog post, too. His perception is that everyone is fronting. The fact of the matter is, not everyone is. Some people just post the highlights because they understand that the minutia is boring and not what people want to see. That he sees this as "fronting" is more a commentary on his own lack of self confidence. Well, that and the fact that he had to throw out how many followers he had.
I believe that that strategy is decent but not optimal.

Why don't you try privately funding a platform where you can tolerate all the types of speech that you wish to tolerate?

Innovation is hard innit?
Correct, this is exactly the explanation I gave.

Here is a quote from one of the answers in the quora question that you posted, saying exactly what I stated:

" If demand for a good is perfectly elastic in regards to price, the smallest change in price will change the amount demanded by an infinite value - if the price goes down a single cent, demand will grow to infinity (assuming a normal good whose demand is inversely correlated to price). If demand for a good is perfectly inelastic in regards to price, it means that no matter how the price changes, the demand will stay the same (if the price goes for 1 dollar to 1 million, the demand is the same)."

IE, perfectly inelastic demand means that no matter how much supply/price changes, then demand doesn't change. If supply goes up, Nobody buys any more houses (because its inelastic). And price crashes.

Inelastic demand applies to both the case of supply going up (therefore price goes down), and the case of supply going down (therefore prices going up).

So if supply goes down, prices go way way up, and if supply goes up, then prices go way way down.

Or in other words, if there is not enough of so

Someone in country will likely be happy to exchange the Bitcoin for Bolivars at some discounted exchange rate, but that doesn't solve the problem of how they get Bitcoin.

While this isn’t a free speech issue, I have to say I’m a bit surprised in how quickly FB censorship jumped the shark. It started out bding targeted to content that “everyone” agreed was inappropriate, and now is simply pushing the Democratic agenda. Really ought to serve as a cautionary tale for anyone who supports “reasonable” restrictions on speech. The slippery slope isn’t just theoretical.
"Why should we read the classics?" is what I ask. I've read a number of "classics" that were just not worth the struggle of figuring out the antiquated vocabulary and sentence structure. The vernacular changes over generations and figuring out what they meant versus what I understand is just not worth the time. I can read a few current books vs 1 classic. Yes, some are worth the trouble but most are not.

Maybe there's a business in updating classics into modern versions. It has been done with Shakespeare and we see it all the time with movies. Why not others?
Firefox has a reader mode. I use that for websites with terrible designs that are ostensibly made with the idea I would read them, but seem to have a completely different goal the poor writers on the other end are not clued in on.

Add-ons designed to "fix" a specific website are to be considered harmful. If a website can't respect its readership, an add-on isn't going to fix their attitude. To be clear this isn't a choice of otherwise equal trade-offs and which you make are a matter of taste. The types of sites described within the original article, the type of page I described upon loading Medium for the first time in probably a couple of months, and the behaviors described in the comments from the people that replied to my post are blatantly disrespectful to their readers.

I hope Facebook keeps going further and further in the direction of echo chambers, to the point that people stop seeing it as a source of news or anything but a very slanted view of the world.

Ideally we could have a forum that actually encourages free speech (including anonymous and pseudonymous speech, extremely rude but not outright threatening speech, and paid shills). If we can't have that, many platforms each with their own agenda is much better than one dominant platform with a bias towards one side of the political spectrum.
That would be impossible to manage in practice. It would be too easy to game such a system, for example by doing a fake sale to a low-income relative.
