You’re asking how intellectual property law keeps information from spreading? I feel like that is self evident. But also I forget if it was the world bank or the IMF but the US and other wealthy nations have made it a requirement that countries adopt our intellectual property laws if they want to receive benefits from the (IMF or World Bank, I forget).

So we enforce intellectual property law here which prevents lower cost clones from being made and also prevents industry from investing more in reverse engineering. The monopoly on ideas raises costs compared to a market with clones, and poorer communities and countries suffer with IP versus an alternative world with more abundant cheap clones. Some would say the innovation would not have occurred without IP law in the first place, which obviously in some cases is true (certain business models require the monopoly on ideas to exist). However I think it’s absurd to suggest that there would be no incentive to innovate in a world with no IP law, and the damage done by IP law is too great to ignore. As someone who believes we have a moral responsibility to help people less privileged than us, I see it as grotesque that we lock up information that could help feed hungry people all over the world.
Not at all. What i mean is that scientists discovered a problem and 1) pursued it regardless of what the major funding agencies thought of it 2) encouraged patients to get involved and 3) informed the public of their progress regularly allowing for open discussion and collaboration.
You do realize it's not just about the trees, right? You exterminate an uncountable amount of species of fauna and flora too alongside the way, including ones that could very well have been used for medicinal research.
What happened is that people are in fact getting less technically able. The predominant tech-related skill now consists of dabbing at a screen in order to consume goods and entertainment or seek validation, as dictated by Amazon, Apple, Google, Facebook ...

Nobody has figured out a way to monetize IRC (to use it to steal personal information or serve ads), so no effort has gone into wrapping it up into this kind of easy-to-consume product.
Once when I was visiting a technical library, I saw that they had many volumes of a particular 1940s Russian engineering journal (Izvestiia Akademii nauk SSSR, Otdelenie tekhnicheskikh nauk, rare in the US, probably common in Russian) that had several articles I was trying to find copies of. I opened the index to the journal from the early 1950s to determine the volumes to check, and must have found that they didn't have the right volumes. So I put the index in the reshelving spot.

A few days later I saw the index in the free book pile. I took it and showed the librarian on duty. As I recall they said that the journal wasn't in the online catalog, so they didn't think the book was theirs (despite the markings on the book clearly saying it was). They seemed quite alarmed that they nearly threw out the index. I imagine the journal is now in the online catalog.

Later, I scanned the entire index just in case it disappears for similar reasons in the future...

Until the locals have an alternative means of income, I don't foresee a solution to this problem.

It's all too easy for those in affluent countries to criticize the recklessness and irresponsibility of developing nations, but people such as cattle farmers (who are responsible for much of the land clearing that's going on) don't have the luxury of worrying about the world environment 50 years from now. As far as they are concerned, that's a far away and abstract threat vs the more immediate concern of how they are going to feed their families.

Maybe the advent of new technologies like Beyond Meat, or new advances in construction materials (that could disincentive the use of unsustainable types of lumber in a meaningful way) will be the kinds of things paving the way forward for rainforest preservation.

The paradox here is pretty difficult to break down because it its function and causes are so intertwined with everything in "industrialized Western society" as the above comment makes note of.

The book "24/7: Late Capitalism and the Ends of Sleep" captures many social phenomenon and mechanisms of the neoliberal/"late capitalism" moment.

Here is an excerpt from a book review: "the emergence, rationalization, and normalization of the “observing subject” across the 19th century, revealing new techniques of discipline, such as the regulation of attention in industrial labour and later the pathologization of deviant forms of perception and attentiveness" from https://muse.jhu.edu/article/580561

Can anyone explain the idea of salt as a cell stressor?

> The idea is to stress the samples from both healthy and ill patients using salt, and then compare how each sample affects the flow of the electrical current.

Is this an osmotic pressure change that stresses the cytoskeleton or something? Does a cell under a hypertonic solution change its cell membrane channel’s behavior?
The article is so confusing. I'm hooked when it started at "The point of the experiment, one imagines, was to prompt the question: “How do they know this?” in the target’s mind." and then it just ends without answering anything.
> The alternative is a rule for everything, which is guaranteed to collapse under its own bureaucratic weight.

That's an important point that's too often missed. There's a cost to creating rules, maintaining them in a list of rules somewhere, and having people actually read the whole list and apply those rules to real situations, handling appeals processes when you discover something that the rules handle badly, etc. You need some rules, but the can't ultimately fix the need to trust people.
It is a wonderful example of how nature cares for nothing other than the spread of an organism, destroying anything and anyone in its path if it would bring even the slightest convenience.

Ignoring our own extremely destructive habits for a moment, I believe we might be the only organism with interests in preserving other types of organisms.

(The destructiveness of nature also makes it terribly hilarious when people consider "natural" things—as opposed to man-made, synthetic things—to somehow equal "healthy", as nature is usually doing its very best to kill us.)
There is a big difference between choosing the less popular but still marketable technology and someone doggedly sticking with a technology that has being put in maintenance mode by the vendor or in the case of Lisp, a minuscule market.

Bubonic Plague Deaths Quarantine Tourist Flight and Close Border
The literature published over the last decade or so gives a highly biased picture, because people keep threatening to kill psychiatrists who research CFS. Understandably, most psychiatrists have abandoned the field for their own safety. Lots of people are researching biomedical factors, but nobody has identified a plausible biomedical etiology.

I agree! However often you see arguments against visual programming languages where they show a screenshot that looks like a giant mess with tons of stuff in it. My point is if the editor didn't allow scrolling or zooming that would force the developer to break things down in to components as you describe.

Tried with this input: "what is your purpose as a bot?"
Response:
"There are a handful of examples available out there that seem fairly plausible as a good initial goal. These examples might get you started:
A bot with a purpose to collect information (and I'm going to assume that you have to have an intent, so I'll be using that term and not the verb for my example).
Or a bot with a purpose to help out a customer that wants something delivered to him/her by mistake.
Or a bot that wants to promote your site to the entire universe of bots.
For example, here in New Zealand, that's a fairly common use of botnets as far as I can see:
How do you know I have enough information to set it up? Let's say I have an account with the website at /r/frugal, what if you are already running bots that want what I need? How do you know these bots would actually be helpful? One answer I see is"

Pretty cool stuff, but I see your description as "semi-coherent gibberish" fits really well. I could see something like this get pretty interesting in the future, where you, for instance, could maybe populate a discord server or twitter chat with semi plausible noise to fake popularity.

I disagree with your conclusion that it’s “the stress system”, but even if so, that’s not a mental illness then. Whatever is going on in CFS isn’t causing behavior or mood etc. changes. It’s causing physical changes, such as the measurable dysautonomia, measurable response on the 2day CPET, measurably response in the invasive CPET that Systrom has been doing, so on. Sure CFS patients do often get comorbid mental illness such as anxiety about their health and depression due to their illness, but you’ve got the direction inversed.

DocStation | Senior Product Designer | Austin, Denver, REMOTE (US Only) | http://docstation.co

DocStation is a platform that makes it easy for pharmacists to transition away from dispensing pills to providing clinical care for patients. We built the platform with their workflow in mind as opposed to billing requirements, which plagues most of the industry/market. We’re also in a unique position because the majority of the tech innovation has happened at the Hospital/Health System level while pharmacy has been left in the stone age; which is a huge market opportunity as pharmacy starts to catch up.

We receive data from insurance claims on a daily, weekly, monthly cadence that we transform into patient profiles, medication lists, and insights in the UI in order to augment the clinical work of pharmacists to give them time back in their day. We have lots of data at our fingertips and we need your help presenting it to pharmacists so they can take even better care of their patients.

Unwelcome huh? I’ve been here longer than you have.
(I'm fully recovered from CFS, although I still have occasional mild IBS).

There is certainly an overlap between CFS, IBS, lymph nodes, pain, fatigue, sleep problems and tinnitus: they can all be caused by stress. The most likely explanation ("I can barely stay awake during meetings") is probably that you need a better job.

Having said that, you do need to rule out other explanations, such as cancer. Talk to your doctor and see what he/she thinks.
One finds a truly surprising number of bugs in tests and test frameworks. So yes, your tests need tests.
Sure, in a perfect world, programmers wouldn't have to make decisions outside their sandbox. But humans get hired to be more than robots, and the same goes for everyone, in every job, ever. That's why you hear cliches about "above and beyond", "extra mile", etc. etc. so much that you probably don't hear them anymore.

And if you are good at operating outside your sandbox when you need to, you should get a gold star (and think about if you want to look for more responsibility). If you're not, your manager should try to baby-proof that corner.

This is also no different than every other job, ever.

This is a situation where the law and the actual practice is so diverged that we've basically just enshrined selective prosecution by the FCC.

Small volume manufacturers just try to design well and roll the dice because (almost?) no one is spending four figures on an accredited lab to do emissions testing on a device that sells a few dozen or couple hundred units per year.

Some try to find a way to indicate that it's used only in transportation, that it's industrial/commercial test equipment, that it's a peripheral device or sub-assembly and not a finished end-user device, others just realize that the FCC isn't going to bust down anyone's door because a device not emitting harmful RF doesn't have a testing certificate on file.

I'm going to admit, if I was to buy all the books I wanted, I would be left poor and unable to feed myself. That's why a lot of thought goes into what books I buy. I can be seen frequently taking way too much time at bookstores perusing books often reading a few pages of a book and then making up my mind whether to buy it or not.

I thought E-books and Audible would change the game and make it easier to consume books, but it still requires a lot of mental and physical bandwidth to consume a book. It's very active and requires a 'reading muscle' to get good at reading, or even listening to one (on Audible).

I've tried various tools like Kindle and speed-reading apps, but they fail horribly in that they still require that reading muscle. There is no way out of this; you have to put in the work of reading a book, and the time investment (alongside cashflow to bring in steady streams of curated books for consuming).
This doesn't make sense. The reason people binge watch (as opposed to, say, bing drink) is that there's no incremental cost to watch an additional episode. I had expected this article would be about a new kindle subscription service that gives you unlimited access to all books. But instead it's about...reading, the traditional regular kind.

FWIW I have subscribed to O'Reilly Safari for years: it gives you essentially unrestricted access to approximately all computer science and programming books. I've found it to be invaluable. I haven't bought a book for work in years. Something similar for all books would be great.

You're confusing the wireless interface with the Ethernet one. The Ethernet driver that implements hardware offloading uses no firmware.
I'll get to what I meant in a moment, but first... I'm not sure what you think a security team should do, honestly.

Security teams exist because your management has a cross-cutting concern and needs people to represent that concern on the ground. If they don't do that they aren't doing their job. So if they have a security concern they should say "but what about the security". If everyone then has to dance that tune, it should suggest to you that your management thinks they have a point.

In terms of what I meant, security policy is rife with areas where you have to decide "is this borderline behavior acceptable". Your default answer to that should be "no", basically because otherwise your policy will grow too complicated to reason about quickly.

So your evidence that the leading hypothesis is mental illness is the debunked PACE trial which caused harm to a lot of patients in the form of contraindicated exercise and denial of benefits, among the emotional harm it created.

Presumably the testing burden for a preference update using Normandy is smaller, as (and I’m guessing wildly here) fewer things can be altered with Normandy and therefore testing can be simplified to exclude, for made-up example, “the code-signed binary can be executed on all platforms”.
