> Any reasonable reading of my comment would recognize that references to Islam is to serve as an example of an intolerance perpetrated under the rationale of excluding the intolerant (e.g. calls to ban Muslims after 9/11).

To make that point with proper analogy, you would have to use ISIS or al-Qaeda as an example. The trouble is, that such ban would make sense to quite a lot of people. There, the discussion is whether it is ok to lock them indefinitely on island without process or torture them, generally most people are perfectly fine with America not allowing those to enter. There is an actual ban in place for suspect or admitted ISIS members.

The other possible equivalence would be all Germans ban or ban on teaching all German originated philosophies. Which is not really the topic, since the discussion up there was limited to Nazism.

It's worth noting here that not every opioid is metabolized the same. I can't speak for this medicine, but different metabolic pathways are used to process opioids.[1] Having more tools in your toolkit means that you are more likely to be able to treat a patient's pain.

That being said, I think that one of the major uses for this drug will be to treat acute pain in chronic pain patients. Those patients aren't opioid naive and may need something that will "override" the tolerance these patients have developed. I'm guessing that they'd also work for patients on the opioid agonist/antagonist Buprenorphine, which is used for chronic pain, but tends to block other opiates.

Lastly, while potent, this drug appears to wear off very quickly. That's going to be key here, because it's simply not useful unless you're able to administer a high quantity of the medicine.

To boot, I believe that the manufacturer claims that this drug has less cognitive side effects than other opioids. [2]

So I have a layman's question: 3blue1brown and Ben Eater did a quaternion visualization set of videos. And they said it was good because it avoided an an axis lock thing that happens when x y z rotate. He said there were maybe some errors with other models as well. So I guess the question is "does this also not have the locking axis problem?"

I think it's called gimbal lock?
If I put my cynic's hat on, they're especially terrifying to drug companies. If you take SSRI's and they work, you'll take SSRI's every day for the rest of your life. If you take LSD or MDMA or ketamine and it works, you're done after one dose.

Anecdotally, people who regularly took LSD seemed to get increasingly weird compared to those who only took it once or a small number of times (c.f. http://slatestarcodex.com/2016/04/28/why-were-early-psychede...), so if anything, a persistent effect might turn into a compounding effect if you don't restrict yourself to a single use.

Also, there are cases (cf http://slatestarcodex.com/2018/06/06/hppd-and-the-specter-of...) of psychedelic drug users suffering persistent bad effects.

The interrelation between physiological and psychological mechanisms is still largely unknown, but what is known is that even normal human experience can sometimes have a persistent one-time psychological effect. The possibility of harnessing such an effect for therapeutic purposes is concerning, perhaps, but no more than any of the other mysterious mucking about we tend to do.
They are completely different thing. I will be much more furious if some relative die due to drones than accident.

Who are you accusing of lobbying here? It's pretty clear from the article that the primary advocate for this drug is the military (DoD).

Strength is not something that's assessed along a one-dimensional axis, much as popular reporting on opiates and pharmaceuticals would have you believe.

That's an entirely different issue. What we're talking about here is work that exists, but is not cited due to it's authorship. If Adolf Hitler himself had correctly proven Goldbach's Conjecture, is the proof itself so inseparable from his other actions that it should be rejected with them?

Also, barring a miracle, this change will propagate to CentOS... and given the nature of Fedora, you'd have to be very naive or very optimistic not to worry that will also propagate to Fedora at some point... even if the KDE spin is largely community maintained.
Can't speak to MSI, but apt doesn't do a very good job. For me, this manifests in an error like "one of your packages is broken, run again with the -f flag to fix it" which has never ever ever worked for me ever. I've had some luck with aptitude in the past, but it often fails to resolve because you're only allowed one version of a package on your system at a time. Static linkage on the other hand is pretty close to foolproof.
Open source doesn't ensure quality code.

Ideally the code would be part of the peer review process, but code review is really expensive, so who knows how that would play out.
So in the middle of the mortgage crisis, Bank of America bought American’s biggest mortgage company, Countrywide, (one on in five home loans in the US). It seemed like a deal to the BOA CEO, since Countrywide’s stock price had fallen to 16% of its high value, the BOA cash reserves would make people trust Countrywide’s financial position again, and the making bad loans had stopped. He figured BOA would then dominate the post-crash lending market, and rushed the deal through.

Well turns out that Countrywide was not only in financial trouble, which cost BOA billions on top of the purchase price, but had been deliberately saying loans were better than they were and selling those loans to others. The fine was the biggest fine ever in the history of the United State. After the acquisition, BOA paid a 16.5 billion fine, a 10 billion fine, and a 9 billion fine related to Countrywide. And those are just the big ones.

The BOA CEO was fired.

It is absolutely criminal that a <$20 drug can be sold for $4500... Auto-injectors have been a solved problem for decades, and there is nothing special about naloxone vs any other drug. Treating auto-injecting tech as different for each drug only helps drive up prices and keep out competition by making FDA approval very expensive.

I hope you are successful getting a generic auto-injector approved, but I don't think your biggest hurdle will be design or engineering.

They both happened. It's an accurate description of the state of discourse.
That's a different issue imo.

Isolation is one thing. We can accomplish that with kernel primitives we have today. Yeah, a distribution mechanism like snaps would be needed.

But snaps are simply doing too much. Like, I should be able to download and run software like I can on Windows and to a lesser extent, Android. The deployment mechanism and the sandbox and the ABI issues all need to be solved separately. Boxing an entire distro per each app is Not necessary for isolation, Not good for security, and generally not a good solution to the ABI issue that prompted it.

If it weren't for ABI stability problems, there would be no issue with still having the isolation of snaps while being able to update components of the base system like libssl.

On a side note, I really dont like how these things clutter the shit out of mounts. Like, I appreciate that they are doing so for isolation, but the side effect is that merely having an app installed adds n mounts? That seems unsustainable.
> policy of ActiveX was, the browser asks the user

Therein lies the problem. The entire industry has, ever since windows 3.1 (!), done their best to condition users with a single and highly destructive mindset:

"Press OK to make the annoying window go away."

The only way around this, and I'm not saying this lightly, would be to make the pushers and vendors CRIMINALLY AND PERSONALLY liable for the damage they cause to end users. Once we see the third or fourth offender nailed through their genitals, head down, on the town hall wall, the message will start to get through.

I think you'd need to specify what kind of data you're looking for. Apple publishes the specs for dynamic range and whatnot but it sounds like you're looking for some kind of mythical "quality" number.
a breach is defined as

‘personal data breach’ means a breach of security leading to the accidental
or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or
access to, personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed;

Given the definition, I think it's a bit hard to argue this isn't a breach. It's a breach of security leading to unauthorised disclosure or personal data.
> Didn't they model the movie Tony Stark after him?

Iron Man the character was created in 1963.

Elon Musk was born in 1971.

The actor of Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr) did say in 2011 he was inspired in part by Elon Musk when developing his character, but that was 7 years ago now and certainly predates some of Elon Musk's more notorious antics.

We all certainly cross the line and should be forgiven for it, but the standards are different when you're a public leader.
Remember the first time it was faster to change something directly in the hot mess of a config file than to edit the m4 and regenerate?
Buprenorphine is a partial agonist of the Mu receptor (the one which causes the most physical dependency) and is antagonist for the rest, it’s also has a very high affinity which displaces other opioids which is why it’s used in addiction treatment.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2581407/

Yes is more to this than just affinity the type and level of the binding to each receptor is also important but on the grand scheme of things in this context it’s not because all the opioids which are primarily used for pain relief are full Mu receptor agonists which is when the simple affinity strength estimate is pretty much sufficient to estimate potency and potential harm.

Also last time I checked the potency is derived directly from the Ki value of the Mu receptor which represents the affinity (regardless of agonism) of the opioid, so these are essentially interchangeable.
> Open source doesn't ensure quality code.

Yes, but closed source helps ensure that low quality code is hidden from sight. It also means that people who distrust or doubt the conclusions have no chance to identify any bug(s) and disprove the results or conclusions.
It looks like you're trying to point out an inconsistency with my post, but I'm not seeing it. My observation, "No changes to the language spec" is entirely consistent with my claim, "a very minor release" and your observation, "It's 1.11->1.12, not 1.11->2.0".

This has been true for me as well. KDE always looks awesome from afar. For a long time, I would get pretty excited about the fanfare for its next release, thinking this will be the one that hooks me, for sure.

Then I actually use it, and its a giant, sloppy mess. I always appreciate the gnome team's drive to simplify and reduce, after I try KDE (though I agree with many, in that they go too far sometimes).
That's certainly fair. I'm in London 2 or 3 times a year and usually try to hit something new if I have personal time. But I don't need to hit the British Museum on a given trip. London's probably something of an extreme because there are so many must-dos. But I think it's also fair to agree with the general sentiment that traveling shouldn't be exclusively about a check list. (If it's Tuesday it must be Belgium.)

Of course, it you're spending a little time in a place for what might be the only time there are probably one or two things you sorta have to see. But you should mostly avoid (IMO) just checking off sites.

This is a problem that is somewhat well-known: If you send your message in esoteric terms it will be read by the great majority as a face value validation. Even some very direct statements tend to be read preferentially.

Whether this is problematic or not depends somewhat on your view of the world. I recommend Arthur Melzer, Philosophy Between the Lines for a much more thorough historical treatment of the subject. By his reckoning it goes back to the ancient Greeks, at least.

> Unity was miles better than the new Gnome (and the old Gnome miles better than Unity ever was).

Yeah, I had to stop using Gnome when everyone was manhandled into Unity / Gnome 3. I have no idea what anyone was thinking.

I now use xubuntu, which doesn't seem to have suffered. XFCE beat out KDE on the strength of... similarity to Gnome 2. I like having the two bars.

It's interesting to me when people/companies have something they think is important to share, but then hijack the scroll on the site presenting the info they want you to read making the content pretty difficult to actually consume. Scrolling about 1/2" on the stock apple trackpad scrolled past all 18 pages and it's pretty difficult to easily get from one page to the next. Luckily the up/down arrows work (if you happen to try them), but c'mon, enough with the fancy schmancy scrolljacking that rarely works well and ruins UX!

The conclusion of the article where it speaks about the consequences of de-platforming people leading to 'counter measures' is what I'm thinking will happen. In my opinion, the difference between government censorship and godaddy censorship is that I can just stop using godaddy. Then I can either close my business, use a different service, or try to help build something new to circumvent godaddy.

I've been back and forth on distributed storage and blockchain in my mind but my current thinking is that the recent de-platforming is going to hasten the development of alternate solutions that are more robust with regards to censorship. I'm not even considering about whether it is right or wrong, I just think that's going to happen.
If I read the article well :

I read through a bunch of this, and one part seems poorly explained. There’s a clear definition of the product of two vectors, but the result isn’t a vector — it’s a scalar plus a bivector. Then, by magic, three vectors get multiplied! But what does that even mean? Somehow a vector gets multiplied by a bivector, and the result is somehow still a vector.

What’s going on?
Bought a couple of the old base level minis for a DTP shop back then (more RAM / IO bound than CPU). They allowed for installing 16GB of cheap commodity RAM and 2x 2.5” drives which netted you a decent 1.5 TB Fusion Drive. Good days. Today, with improved vendor lock-in for essential components, you’re looking at 2k+ for an equivalent spec. No thanks :)

Here’s a suggestion: you bring together a small team of great Linux developers. You pick one laptop that is commercially available, eg Lenovo or a Dell or a Chromebook. You then put all your efforts into making an awesome dev distro for that laptop only. You resell it with the distro pre-installed and configured, and 12 months free support.

Could you make money selling it to coders? The go-to dev laptop for non-Mac users?
Any of them, unless you have specific goals that may be served best by one language or another.

The main difference between then and now is the government made real efforts to clean up its act. Post watergate and pentagon paper scandals it seemed like the government was actually willing to change.
