They're not fake, just mistranslated/corrupted.

Mistranslated/corrupted:

"No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training…what a disgrace it is for a man to grow old without ever seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable."

Closest quote:

"Besides, it is a disgrace to grow old through sheer carelessness before seeing what manner of man you may become by developing your bodily strength and beauty to their highest limit." - Xen. Mem. 3.12

Mistranslated/corrupted:

"In order for man to succeed in life, God provided him with two means, education and physical activity. Not separately, one for the soul and the other for the body, but for the two together. With these two means, man can attain perfection."

Closest quote:

"For these two, then, it seems there are two arts which I would say some god gave to mankind, music and gymnastics for the service of the high-spirited principle and the love of knowledge in them—not for the soul and the body except incidentally, but for the harmonious adjustment of these two principles." - Plat. Rep. 3.411e

Ha! Like I said, "minor."

And actually, more seriously, the reputation push-back on Facebook is finally reaching levels where laypeople are picking up on it. There's still a huge amount of ground to cover, but laypeople are now hearing the criticism of Facebook. You can see many switching from a state of ignorance to "I don't care; I have nothing to hide." Maybe in a few years we'll see more people saying "you know what, I do find these privacy losses bothersome." As with many reputation matters, it's a gradual process with give and take.
The real issue here is that if you tell some gmail user to contact their e-mail provider to resolve delivery issues on their side, like this, they'll just stare at you, not knowing what you're even talking about.

It's like there's an assumption that gmail is perfect, and the problem is with the sender. Even if that was true, a normal mail hosting company would at least tell its customer why the mail is not being delivered, so that the customer can tell the sender what to fix.

The gmail recipient is never exposed to this side of google. So they don't know what a nightmare comapny it is to communicate with.

Why should everyone and their dog be solving gmail users's problems with receiving messages? It's such a demented system. It should be the other way round. Recipients, via their provider should be solving their issues with spam filtering and blocking.

If the gmail user would be blocked by my mail server, I would not tell them to go guess what's wrong, fix gmail, and to have fun. It should not be acceptable the other way round either.

Immume systems are fucking amazing[1]. There are millions of viruses and bacteria of all sorts everywhere in your house and outside that a child's immune system is constantly dealing to without you even being cognizant of it. And if it wasn't dealing with those successfully you'd very quickly know about it because your child has an immune disorder. The vaccines are absolutely infinitesimally small in terms of an immune reaction compared to this every day constant barrage.

it's also clearly irrelevant from a medical standpoint where the diagnosis was made... unless there's local bribing of doctors going on!

so why insist on only counting local diagnoses?

EDIT: perhaps there are regulations that mandate doctors to diagnose similar percentages, to prevent overdiagnosis... and perhaps this is being weaponized against discovering localized exposure to carcinogens?

I cannot talk from all Latin America, but at least in my city gangs imported a lot of the pop culture from the American ghettos, everyone has a sibling, cousin or friend who emigrated to the US, when they come back to their cities either because they were deported, or because they simply wanted to come back, they dress differently, they like new things and they share their experiences. Also American movies, TV and music make a big influence not only in Latin America but the whole world.
Some quick Googling and bad math (let me know where I screw up):

36,000 people in Ware County, GA.

3 cases of RMS, 1 of Ewing's.

327,000,000 people in the US.

400-500 cases of RMS in the US per year.

Chance of a case: 0.0000015

Chance of 4 cases: 5.5e-24

...in Ware County: 2.0e-19

...in any Ware County-sized population: 1.8e-15 [edit; I'm an idiot] [think I was right the first time]

Bonus: number of cases in US based on Ware Cty: 36,000 (weird, eh?) or about 73× more common.

> Except, sleep isn't a debt because the loss can't be repaid.

sort of?

The impact of missed sleep has a half life. A single night of 4 hours sleep, followed by a year of normal nights sleep will lead to a me that is indistinguishable from the me that slept 8 hours that same night.

I'm all for sleeping properly, but lets not suggest that it is the end of the world any time someone doesn't get their standard n hours

Any ideology or policy prescription that does not accurately reflect the reality of human nature is bound to be ineffective or counterproductive.

A lot of the claims in this article are intuitive or common sense. However, there is a subset of people who wish to engineer society in such a way as to erase variation between different groups.

Men are more aggressive than women. Men will probably continue to be more aggressive than women. We should try to harness this variation for good outcomes rather than try to eliminate the variation altogether.
A small percentage of kids are probably hard to deal with when it comes to sleep no matter what you do, but most of the parents I've seen with kids who still often wake them up past the 4-6mo range are training their kids to do it. They can't possibly realize they are or they'd surely stop, but they are. This is usually combined with waiting way too late to start trying to sleep-train.
You can do an image search on your favorite search engine and look for someone like Donna Brazile, who has been in politics for a long time and understands appearing on TV.

Then you can look at the clothes she is wearing and realize that in every photo where she is wearing a lighter dress or jacket, the automatic exposure settings of the camera adjusted for the average lighting of the scene and underexposed her face.

That is why, because Brazile has done countless TV appearances for decades ... in most of the photos you can see that she wears darker jackets or clothing.

While being an MD can provide insight (depending on the nature of the doctor's practice) in terms of how things impact the practice of medicine, being an expert in a field only really matters when discussing topics that are in that field. Outside of their field, an expert's evaluation carries no more weight than anybody else's.
"...Members of the top 10% of tweeters also have distinct attitudes, behaviors and personal characteristics compared with those who use the platform less often. These prolific tweeters are more likely to be women: 65% are, compared with 48% of the bottom 90% of tweeters. And these most active tweeters are much more likely than others to say they post about political issues. Fully 69% of the top 10% most prolific tweeters say they have tweeted about politics, compared with 39% of Twitter users generally. And 42% say they have tweeted about politics in the last 30 days, compared with just 13% of other users.

The Twitter platform provides multiple ways to post and share content, but the top 10% of tweeters are more likely to report using automated methods that allow others to post tweets on their behalf: 25% of highly prolific tweeters have done so, compared with only 15% of Twitter users in the bottom 90%...."

I find the second portion, using automatic methods to post tweets on their behalf, is quite alarming. The most prolific tweeters are also more likely to be using spam bots, possibly using spam bots to tweet about political issues.
Large bundle sizes are not a consequence of creating UIs on the frontend, they are a consequence of bad practice. I have created plenty of purely frontend apps that don't even approach 1 MB let alone 6 MB. In fact, most languages that can target WASM seem to produce enormous modules compared to a reasonable frontend JavaScript app. Rust is an outlier in my experience because of its minimal runtime.

It's also worth noting for example that only 1/5th of the data transferred when I load medium.com cold is their JavaScript, so WASM can't really help them either way.
The article is short of specific examples. But as far as UI's, unless you really are genius of design, keep it mostly the same and only do incremental improvements. I get used to most bad UI's by shere memorization of where and how to go. Move the cheese, and I'm lost and cussing.

The MS Ribbon comes to mind. It still don't think it's notably better than the original toolbar. But the problem is that shuffling everything around confused many for roughly a year as they had to re-learn where everything is.

MS traded one randomness for a different randomness. Maybe they were thinking a 5% to 10% improvement is worth it over the long run even if they piss off existing customers during the learning curve. So, either they are idiots, or they actually sat around and did "piss off accounting": intentional jerks who willingly sock existing customers in exchange for future news ones. So we have the idiots theory and the jerks theory.

Another thing, redundancy is not necessarily bad in UI's. Some get caught up in the "keep the tree clean" mantra. However, having more than one way to do or find an option often improves the UI. Perhaps an ideally designed UI could avoid the need for repetition, but most designers are not good (or constrained by other factors) such that they should indeed fall back on some redundancy. Rules for ideal conditions (such as great UI) often don't apply to typical conditions (average UI).

For bigger applications, perhaps put all the options in a table(s) and let the users search for options Google-style. That may be faster than digging around in menu trees. You still have menu trees, but ultimately they are tied to the table. Use synonyms and allow bookmarks to improve look-ups. I'd like to see more experiments in Table Oriented Programming. To me, that looks the future. OOP can't handle complex relationships well.

There is no difference between a cop pressing a finger against a fingerprint reader to unlock a phone to gather evidence, and a cop pressing a finger against an inkpad (or scanner) to collect a fingerprint to compare to one found on an object or surface found at a crime scene.

If law enforcement suspects your fingerprints are on a crowbar found at the scene of a bank robbery, they tell a judge, present their evidence, and get a court order for you to press your finger on a fingerprint scanner.

If law enforcement suspects your fingerprint will unlock your phone and your phone as evidence of a crime on it, they tell a judge, present their evidence, and get a court order for you to press your finger on a fingerprint reader.

I would love to pay FastMail for my family’s email. I have myself, my wife, my four children, one family address and one other generic address. 8 emails would cost me $240 a year at a minimum.

If they could solve for my situation and not charge me that kind of money, I would switch from Gmail immediately.
That’s nothing for a company making that much revenue, they have to keep all the websocket connections open for notifications, index all the messages for search, store files, host video chats / phone calls, etc... it’s not trivial.
This is configurable :) The main problem with modern gmail is that it's slow (esp. outside of chrome).
They didn’t speak English either...and yet Socrates qoute is attributable to his student Xenophon.

Socrates was also a foot soldier/war hero who elected to continue to socialize and drink with famous athletes all his life.

Plato’s quote I’m not so sure but there is no shortage of discussion of mind/body, exercise, movement in his works.
Actually, I think that "social media" as a platonic ideal is more useless than evil. Now, the social media that we actually have -- FB, Twitter and alike -- that appears to be quite obviously evil as it promotes wrong incentives (number of "friends", likes, reposts, and a culture of outrage because "engagement". And then, of course, we have FB that has been caught, multiple times, doing clearly evil things while saying 'we're very-very sorry" for the previous thing they were caught doing.

Now we could have an entirely separate conversation on whether this is because they are actively evil (which does not seem outside the realm of possibilities for FB) or because they are just giving the public what it wants.

For people who work there, though, I might blame older ones (including at least one relative) who should know better, but young kids who had just graduated and are offered salaries better than most people will ever see in their lives... nah, they just don't think about it. It's not like elite colleges that feed FAANGs were doing a great job (or any job, really) teaching ethics, so why should kids in that nice, well-paid and well-fed bubble care?

There is a difference between maintaining your body's strength andrunning after PRs at all cost (over feeding, spending hours in the gym, drugs, &c.). Stoics especially don't value "externals" that much, which includes the body.

> For although the body needs many things in order to be strong, yet the mind grows from within, giving to itself nourishment and exercise. Yonder athletes must have copious food, copious drink, copious quantities of oil, and long training besides; but you can acquire virtue without equipment and without expense. All that goes to make you a good man lies within yourself.

> Now there are short and simple exercises which tire the body rapidly, and so save our time; and time is something of which we ought to keep strict account. These exercises are running, brandishing weights, and jumping, – high-jumping or broad-jumping, or the kind which I may call, "the Priest's dance," or, in slighting terms, "the clothes-cleaner's jump." Select for practice any one of these, and you will find it plain and easy.

But whatever you do, come back soon from body to mind. The mind must be exercised both day and night, for it is nourished by moderate labour. and this form of exercise need not be hampered by cold or hot weather, or even by old age. Cultivate that good which improves with the years.

As an aside, FB's continued success, while having such a bad public image is astonishing.

They obviously have a moat, a very literal network effect. But, FB also has lots of competition (more than google, amzn, & msft anyway) and the type of product that should be substitutable.. with some combination of twitter-wechat-HN-or-whatnot. Social network, seems, at least to me, like something that lends to rising and waning popularity. They're not embedded in businesses or hard to turn off in any way.

It just seems that negative user opinion of FB should be a bigger deal than it would be for amazon of msft.

I dunno how to square this circle.

Former competitive powerlifter here. Find a team. If you search around, you are guaranteed to find some dungeon gym that has a group that trains together. It won't be a big-box gym. It will have rusty iron. This is where you want to be, this is essential. You need 2 or 3 people to properly spot a powerlifting squat, don't bother doing it alone.
How would you then circumvent the protection?

> I can't tell other people to go off Gmail

I disagree. There are reasons to switch off gmail. Not just Google eating mail but also for privacy reasons. Google knows all about your banking, eCommerce orders, your media subscriptions, health issues and many other dependencies.

A good alternative is protonmail. It is private, has a mobile app, is a free but you can also pay to support the service. I also consider protonmail much more secure than gmail.
