Do you disagree with the prior premise "people lacking facts are susceptible to manipulation" or the latter "independent access is sufficient defense against manipulation"?

I guess that I think they're not important questions. I don't even think manipulation is at the root of the problem.

I don't think people are seeking truth, when they discuss or think about politics. There is no point where people assess the facts objectively and make independant decisions based on those judegments. What people are doing is assessing their identity and allegiance, then justifying it with a narrative. They may reference facts in their rationalizations, but the opinion came first, then the assessment of facts. IE, the facts did not cause the opinion.

Better facts, access to information, requisite knoweldge and interest... these generally don't inluence people's politics . Political identity does, and facts play a very small role in that.

Think of religion for analogy. Religuous people might be engaged with the philosophy, history or current facts about their religion. If you ask them why they are a methodist, they may reference a theological essays or something that the church does. But, those things rarely impact the decision. More informed people don't make different decisions about their religion.

What does effect a person's religious choice? Identity. Say our methodist marries a catholic or moves to a Farsi village or form a mentorship relationship with a rabbi. This is much more likely to affect their religious choices than any fact could.
> Where you fall on the line, from "no abortions, ever" to "abortion up to a week after birth, no questions asked"

This is the false dichotomy so often pushed by right-wing ideologues. Literally nobody on any side of the abortion debate advocates for "abortions up to a week after birth" or anywhere close to that. This sort of boolean thinking is the root of our (especially current) toxic political climate.
I'm no expert on German law, but Patreon is providing the marketplace. The user is selling access behind an identity on Patreon's site.
It's fairly independent of culture, and where culture matters it eventually changes because women become enfranchised.

I'd think that if the reseller sold the device as being capable of working with bluetooth v4 and the A2DP profile, only for that not to be the case, then you absolutely have the right to take it up with them.

Surely by their not advertising the dongle limitation, that's a problem of their own making & they should honour your return. If they've a problem with that, they take it up with Jabra but leave you out of it.

After all, you've got a device that speaks Bluetooth so you've got something that the product declares it'll be compatible with, and the product just.. Isn't!

Controversial take: Buffett is actually not a great investor in the way people think. Via the float in his insurance companies, he receives a 0% infinite maturity loan to plow into the market. That financial leverage gives him the ability to beat the market year after year - not his own stockpicking prowess.

If you were to start with $1B, then get an extra $2B that you never had to pay back, you too would do quite well holding Coca-Cola and other safe companies with moats. Your returns would be 3x everyone else's.

Buffett himself has tried to explain the impact of float on Berkshire Hathaway but it never seems to sink in with people.
Sure, from the outside, with hindsight etc. But people like Henry Kissinger and James Mattis occupy power roles that demand difficult and correct decisions from the inside and without benefit of hindsight. That a pair of crooks went through this discipline and experience like a hot knife through butter tells us something about the nature of power an deception.

>It is likely easy to pronounce in that person's culture, just not for you.

Often names will live on long after the family has left the culture. In my own case, my original family name was difficult for anyone in my own family to pronounce. Some number of generations ago (all records are lost so this is mostly an assumption) the name itself was Americanized so that the kids who never grew up in the original culture nor who knew the language could pronounce the culture.

>because people do not control their names, just as they don't control their physical features

This one also stands out to me because there are numerous physical features or other uncontrollable things which our society, to some level, tolerates judging or making fun of. Being short. Being bald. Having a disgraced member of society as a family member (someone who isn't just a criminal, but committed a crime that is harshly judged by society). None of it is fair, but it is still allowed to a large degree.

Even more complicated, when we get to personal relationships, judging based even on things like ethnic history is somewhat allowed. Part of me wonders, if I can judge someone I consider acceptable to pair bond with on some criteria, why can't I also use that exact same criteria as a source of humor? If I can't use it to do little things like make a joke, then it seems even more wrong to use it to make larger judgments of a person.
I looked at that page and was impressed. Does anyone here have suggestions on freely licensed serif fonts that focus on readability (non-system fonts)?
That would be more misleading, because cities generally have authority to enforce their own local ordinances on top of state laws.

Certainly, states set the scope of what the ordinances can be, but there's nothing unusual about a city enforcing its "own rules" on top of state laws.

Show HN: BuiltByHackers – a visual feed of Show HN stories
So, in regards to why it's generally not safe to move a self-referential struct, I understand now. My confusion about the memcpy is a tangent ;)

I guess my confusion is that I while realized "move" could mean a memcpy, I didn't realize it always meant a memcpy.

In other words, I thought the compiler would be smart enough to realized the memcpy is unnecessary, even though ownership has been transferred as far as the type system/borrow checker is concerned.

As another example, if you have this situation:

let x = 45;
dbg!(x);
let y = x;
dbg!(y);

Is there really any reason to allocate separate memory for y, if x is in accessible after y is defined?

Or is this just an implementation detail, and could possibly change in the future?

Also, thanks for being so responsive! I suppose this isn't really the best place to have this discussion ;)

[EDIT] I realize that's not a good example, because 45 will just be copied. But you get what I was trying to show.

Was more of a general 'you'. I think they're more afraid of a counter culture than anything else. People get nasty when you threaten (or are perceived to threaten) their way of life.
They can tell the faithful to send a check to a PO box. Works for televangelists, no reason it wouldn't work for 'thought leaders'.
When I was burnout exercise really helped to get better. Not gym, I had no energy for that. But just small walks for example. Keep moving. I ended bicycling to work which was great, but started just walking from my kids school which was close by. I realized I felt better after those walks so started to walk more. Take care.
A good piece of advice I got once was to make sure you have a solid network of 25 people with more experience than you who also believe in you, and to be sure to maintain that network over the years. I'm really not anywhere near reaching that yet, imo.. but it is a good guiding principle, I think.

The thing is, if I were to die tomorrow, there are a lot of things I would do today that I would not do today if I expect to die in 40 years. So what is 'meaningful' depends entirely on your expectations. If you keep living your life as if you might die tomorrow, you'll never go to school, never have children, etc. etc.
Spotify Turned a Profit in Q4 2018
I think part of it is also social security of sorts - as a mechanism. One successful child can provide for you in old age better than eight struggling to get by.

A robust pension or welfare scheme makes it less mandatory. Some might want to go with six kids, others are content with zero or or one or two just to carry on a family line in at least a token way.
Right?
Most countries in Africa actually show dropping birth rates. The ones going up or stable are ones with war or poor social amenities.

The best advice I can offer is: find a hobby that captivates you.

For me, it was motorcycling. It’s not for everyone, but the reason it helped me is that it requires precision control and mental focus. When I got my first motorcycle and went for rides I didn’t have time to think about anything else; driving the bike well and improving my ability took 110% of my attention.

I burned out and tailspun in my job for about a year, but the relaxation I felt after going for a long ride showed me what’s healthy, and I followed that feeling until it got me out of the rut.
> Patreon provides pages on their own website within their own brand identity for these creators, stores their digital media, promotes them through their search interface etc

Which is exactly the kind of useless functionality that they don't need. Most of the creators I've seen either migrate away from Patreon or diversify themselves end up using payment processing services like Stripe or Paypal.

Sounds fun.

Or worse, you get the inconsiderate people who will just unload their toilet into the nearest storm drain and make all vandwellers look bad.

Why Nasa Converted Its Lessons-Learned Database into a Knowledge Graph
I don't disagree with you. Seeing civilians with real struggles in a world destroyed by years of warfare that would crush the soul of the average depressed American puts your own trivial problems in a completely different perspective, especially when they are happily making the best of their situation.

This is my fourth deployment. When I go back to my comfy civilian job as the elite senior developer it is a bit depressing seeing the things people complain about at the job.

As an example consider this scenario that I went through:

Another developer was telling me I was using the wrong IDE. I needed to be using Atom because it has the fantastic extension called Atom Beautify that beautifies a whole bunch of different languages with a huge ton of options. I guess he didn't realize I am a collaborator on the project and many of the supported languages are available because of my beautifier integrated into the extension. Then when I am leaving the company for this military separation I had to hear from my boss in the exit interview that some code I wrote months ago was horrid, because the other developers only know how to read OOP code (even though I provided extensive documentation). Nobody bothered to talk about it or explain their distaste. How am I supposed to process that?

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the decline ends at some point and a sort of long-term fluctuation takes over. Economic, political, and technological changes all affect how many babies people have, as well as how long they live.
Saying why you feel the way you do is key to NVC.

Importantly, saying it without coming down with harsh judgment on the other person is also key. You truly don’t know what’s going on in their mind, or what motivations they may have had in doing something. NVC encourages realizing this and avoiding assigning feelings or intent to the other person, since you don’t know if that’s accurate.

“I feel lonely much more than I want to when you’re gone DJing Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I don’t like feeling lonely. Can we figure out something to help me feel lonely less often?”

And yes, you could say “I wish you’d stay at home,” but is that really the desire? The desire is to feel lonely or ignored less of the time in this scenario I think; maybe I’m wrong!

Maybe the DJ said she couldn’t come with thinking she would be bored. Maybe she’d love to come, but thinks he doesn’t want her there.

Saying clearly the why, without judgment on the other person, certainly seems to be pretty NVC to me.
It depends on the type of observations being made. If it is done with a single dish with a single antenna feed then to make images you just have to know when and where you are pointing while you record the power.

But most images you see of radio astronomy are done with interferometers. This means you use multiple pairs of antenna. Each pair will respond to a point source going across the sky with the interference pattern modulating the voltage at the receiver that follows an acos pattern relative to the distance between the antennas in the pair.

The multiple pairs of antenna all each contribute a 2D fringe pattern. The interference makes the receivers record what is essentially the fourier transform of the sky. So some pair might have sine wave of a particular wavelength and angle, and another pair another angle. By combining all these 2D patterns of waves the sum ends up being an "image" of the sky (convolved with the primary and sidelobe beams).

That gets you a "DIRTY" image, and it really is dirty. The beam of an interferometer is a complex thing. So after that multiple types of cleaning algorithms may be used to use prior knowledge to pull just the actual signal out of the noisy, gunked up "image".

So in the end each pixel is really the result of a somewhat arbitrary algorithm picking out the bright bits after taking the FFT of the sky of each baseline pair and combining them.

An event can still be situationally, or cosmically ironic even if it's not in fiction. if you really want it to be a property of communication, then think of the communication as being between the universe, or God and the subject.

More importantly, English is defined by common usage, and the usage of irony in describing an unexpected combination of real events has been common for hundreds of years. I believe this probably comes from people's common belief in fate, or that their lives are part of some broader story. Under this mindset, it makes perfect sense to use terms from literature to describe phenomena of life. And your insistence that irony is a property of communication is satisfied.

Words have multiple senses, and the ones from common usage are just as valid as the ones from academic usage, though they may be harder to pin down.
