Well, sure, but then the 4 year chart of returns on my high school summer lawn moving business went up 13,500%, from $5 net my first week, to $675 on my last. Behold my 15 year old financial genius. /s

Any asset that doesn't crash back to a penny likewise goes up astronomically from the day trackable value is first created. Bitcoin's chart appears to have outperformed the market so dramatically, percentage-wise, because its chart tracks price from effectively zero (depending on how you would price a 1/10000th slice of pizza) or a dozen or so pennies (if you're starting from the first BTC-E numbers). But this is really not any different from what happens to shares in a private company, which also start at effectively zero as well.

Publicly-traded share values aren't visible to the public until they have already risen a hundredfold or more from their inception (in terms of percentage gains). Sure, Bitcoin was visible to "the public" but only if you happened to be in the right place at the right time and knew the right people - which in practice are opportune circumstances no different than those available to people who happen to be close to the founders of a privately owned company.

1. You should read the links that you post.

2. You should post links that contain evidence for your claims, instead of links that don't.

I'm sorry to be glib here, but surely you can see the problem with telling ME to go find evidence for YOUR claims, when you can't even be bothered to find evidence for your own claims. Given that you aren't presenting any evidence for your claims, I think it's highly likely that no such evidence exists, and I'm not going to waste my time searching for evidence that likely doesn't exist.

Beating a dead horse a bit: the link you've posted still does not say that cannabinoids have ever been part of the human diet.

I strongly suspect that I've actually read more on this subject than you have, as you've failed to mention Michael Pollan's Botany of Desire, which actually explores the coevolutionary history of humans and marijuana. Although Pollan still doesn't make the claims you're making about CBD oil, he does at least survey some evidence for coevolution between humans and marijuana.
It's worse than that. A significant portion of of American "local" news is actually just parroting Sinclair Broadcast Group which is a national group trying to push right wing opinion.

I think you misunderstand copyright... you can't violate a license (that's based on copyright) by using ideas you saw in the source code. You really have to actually copy, verbatim, a significant chunk of code to be in violation of a software copyright. Sure, what constitutes a significant chunk is somewhat open to interpretation, but nobody who releases their software under the GPL is likely to ask a court for a ridiculously restrictive interpretation! I'm pretty sure Richard Stallman would be horrified by what you're saying here.
Android has a feature called "nearby device scanning" so even if you turn off bluetooth, apps can still do BLE. I suspect stuff like this, where many many apps can spy on you on behalf of others, is why Google made BT access a Location category. But it means your weather app that uses location to tell you where you are? It is selling your location via BT beacons to 3rd parties.

According to [1], while there are 4x as many US domestic far-right terror attacks as Islamic ones, the death tolls (excluding 9/11) are about the same. But only 1.1% of the US is Muslim.

Of course it's not really accurate to call Islamic terrorists far-left - I don't think their ideals fit with the rest of the left. But the total death toll of terrorism in the US is negligible [2], so to allow one's opinions to be directed by who does the most terrorism is the ultimate tail-wagging-the-dog.

I thought I had given consideration. I do not regard "I don't know" as giving up. Giving up would be not finding the answer eventually. I certainly don't find myself "under" some other person if they know the answer to a particular technical question.

As for interviewing a luminary of open source what would be the difference? I imagine they (much like everyone else) don't know lots of things and are probably comfortable saying so. Their answers to how they would go about finding an answer would probably be wonderful.

Hello French "brother"

Serum levels of vit D and Magnesium are not reliable indicators. As stated in the study for Magnesium. For Vit D, efficiency of a supplementation of Vit D3 is also not on par with real sun exposure, the skin and subcutaneous fat don't seems to respond the same way.

I sadly did not had any improvement on my side from getting my Vit D level from 15 (which is barely above the deficiency level) to a whooping level of 60 in a few month with Bio-D-Mulsion drops (Vit D3). My mag must be high as I eat a very rich diet in this nutrient, without any dairy from more than a decade now
I went the other way around. I used to mostly release GPL code, and then one day switched to MIT and never turned back. I've profited from code written by others; others should be able to do the same under whichever license they prefer.

There's a simpler way to address the problem outlined by OP: just refuse to consider binding software dependencies whose source you can't read. (It doesn't necessarily mean FOSS, as in I'm OK with paying to get the software; but I do want to be able to read the source code.) To me using such a dependency whose source code I can't read is just a non-starter.
There's a saying among pilots:

"Aviation in itself is not inherently dangerous. But to an even greater degree
than the sea, it is terribly unforgiving of any carelessness, incapacity or neglect."

This is 10x more true with nuclear power. And you can add malfeasance, graft, corruption, ignorance of basic science, and generally every other flaw inherent in humanity to the list.
When interviewing people I usually push until I get the candidate to answer "I don't know" on SOMETHING,

"just because I can". To me this technique comes off as condescending and manipulative, and smells like a power play basically. Not to mention - the better candidates will pick up on it, and your company will eventually get a reputation it doesn't want to have.

And really there's no need for it. Time and time again, I find that just by having a normal technical conversation with someone, on virtually any topic that they claim to have expertise in -- they will show their strengths and weakness (and propensity for BS, if any) very, very quickly.
> It's a disappointment to see nonsense like "milkshaking" and "Punch a Nazi." These are just dress rehearsals to more serious political violence. These are signs of people being radicalized to the point, where they are going to abandon discourse and resort to violent conflict.

This might be more convincing if Nazism and white surpemacy weren't themselves entirely predicated on violence.

This is the kind of criticism you get to make if you're not part of their outgroup. They might be peaceful now (well, except for the steadily increasing violence [1]) but what do you think they're going to do if and when they get more power?

At what point is pushing back acceptable? Is it when they start stripping legal protections from (more) people? When they start putting (more) people in camps? When I have to wear a patch identifying myself as Jewish? When they start firing up the gas chambers?

It's not that "there is a right way to think". It's that these people are trying to harm me, specifically. And it's that other people want to pretend that this whole thing is just a difference of opinion.

There's no impartial judicial system involved here, the people driving the deplatforming are self-appointed activists within these companies who are emotionally invested in 'doing something'. They're not moderate, or careful, or measured. That's not their nature.

If you want to get a bit of data on how "moderate, or careful, or measured" they are, note that the pro-deplatforming crowd characterizes Ben Shapiro -- a devout adherent of Judaism, a consistent critic of the Alt-Right, and a primary target of the Alt-Right according to the SPLC -- as "Alt-Right." That's just one example. There are lots of examples. Labeling is being used as an intellectually dishonest weapon enabling censorship and suppression.
I don't think that is a fair counter example since it isn't actually straight GPL and provides a different type of leverage than GPL does, which is what we were discussing. The Cockroach Community License[0] was created specifically to fit their needs, and it differs from GPL in several ways.

It is the same result as infinite planar light sources or infinite planar electrostatic charges. Move the test particle a small delta above or below the napkin, and the result will become apparent.
Not a troll question, so please bear with me...

From the perspective of the author of a piece of software wanting downstream changes contributed back, I think GPL makes total sense.

From the deontological perspective of a consumer that considers closed source code immoral (aka Stallman's view if I understand it correctly), it doesn't make much sense to me.

Consider the example where you go to a bakery and ask for a cake. Most people, I think, would agree that it would be unreasonable for a buyer of the cake to consider it immoral that the baker doesn't release the recipe to the cake. What makes software special?
Wait a minute. I thought Docker was useful because you didn't want to run a whole VM. But this project turns a Dockerfile into a VM specification? Have we come full circle?
It seems something is not possible until someone figures a way to do it. I could see steam/sterling engines combined with electric could do amazing things. Primarily because of low pollution (from what I read, almost none in some cases) of burning almost any combustible fuel.

Even if there are some efficiency limitations, a small steam generator (range extender) combined with an electric vehicle could be ideal.

I really don't think efficiency is the primary problem with steam/heat tech, I think it's politics and society and possibly greed.

Edit: a quick search, it seems the Carnot limit applies to ICE engines as well. So your argument seems to be contradictory. Can you clarify how ICE engine efficiency is different from steam, related to the Carnot limit?

Such tables are tricky. What does it mean to have syntax highlighting? For languages like C, it means that keywords, numbers and strings are colored differently. But for languages like Java/C# it's not enough, expectations are different. For such languages you expect class names to be colored differently than variable names, and IDEs for other languages rarely provide that.

> Cleaning up the mess is not a "consequence"

First, kids (especially young ones) do not need negative consequences. Second, yeah cleaning up the mess is a consequence of their behavior. They made a mess? They have to clean it up.

Your suggestion of a time-out (which is basically punishment, so in my view you are looking for a punishment) is not going to help. All you are teaching them is that if they do something wrong they will be punished.

>The consequence ends as soon as the appropriate behavior starts.

See you just proved my prior point, you are looking for a punishment. And you end the punishment as soon as the 'appropriate behavior starts'. That is completely backwards. You should encourage and reinforce good behavior. Let them know when their behavior is inappropriate, but punishing them does not teach them anything.

Consequence should always be natural and related to what they did. The natural consequence of making a mess is cleaning it up. The natural consequence of making a mess is not sitting in the corner. The natural consequence of punching his brother is not "no dessert for dinner".

Consequences have to make sense to the child, or they are basically meaningless and harmful.

> Under a strict interpretation of the GPL, a student who copied code out of a textbook to use in a commercial project would be infringing the license.

This interpretation is very surprising to me. Could you point out what language in the GPL you're interpreting in this way?
While I agree with some of this, few of these people are fully responsible for their situation. Anyone born after the year 1980 or so has been force-fed the "go to college" meme so much that it's difficult to imagine any alternative. Ask millions of not-yet-fully-developed brains to choose between "go to a college, make new friends, get away from mom and dad" and "start working a minimum wage job and get your own cheap place" and you will likely have few takers of the minimum wage option.

The real problem here is that the colleges responsible for high tuitions (thus high debt for graduates) and useless degrees are not held responsible for the outcomes of the educations they confer. Because the government guarantees many of these loans for students, we're effectively handing out money to anybody who asks for it -- at the expense of a potential entire life spent in debt if you choose poorly or even sub-optimally.

It's hard to be glad that these people are suffering under high debt loads when you realize that we will all be affected. When they retire with no savings and pull money from the system funded by taxes on your income and investments, you will likely not be happy. No man is an island and all of us are affected by macro-trends like this.
I don’t think one needs to do all of that to understand that people prefer to spend less money than more money for the same thing. If you’re not expecting your employer to be looking into ways to reduce costs, just like everyone tries to reduce costs in their personal life, then I would say you’re intentionally oblivious to reality.

To be clear, the Gazelle article is the incorrect one - it advocates drying the phone first using a desiccant like silica gel or cat litter (though it says rice is the least effective of them). There is no mention of using alcohol (except in some comments).

The iFixit article advocates displacing the water using rubbing alcohol (i.e. open it up and dunk the motherboard/etc. in alcohol) - thus halting the corrosion that would continue if it were left to dry.

Does the Pi write data to the SD card or to some sort of external storage? If the latter, is the Syncthing configuration file located on the SD card?

My experience with Syncthing on a Raspberry Pi has been that corruptions happen very often if you write to the SD card a lot. I have set my Raspberry Pi in a way that the Syncthing config and the synced data all reside on an external USB HDD, this keeps the amount of writes to the SD card low and helps avoid issues down the line.
Right yeah, I see those mentions of past studies, which suggest some positive results but don’t say much about long-term outcomes. (My own experience has been that in early stages of feeling impaired, supplementation of Mg and other nutrients would bring about short-term mood benefits but subside in the medium to long-term (and show no measured changes in hair tests), even with consistent ongoing supplementation, suggesting that the emotional/life issues are an overriding factor long-term.

I don't doubt that a simple dietary deficiency of Mg may be a causal factor for some, perhaps even most people. But studies like these often seem happy to report positive outcomes after finding, say, 70% short-term efficacy, but ignore the remainder, in which the causation may be very different.

> incentives seem to be aligned such that one should expect patented substances to have the most papers showing positive results vs something cheap and readily available.

Yes, which has been a source of frustration, but I understand modern economics, so I get it.

> nervous people who are very self conscious in an interview setting may respond completely differently than they would if they were asked the same question on the job by the coffee machine.

This part is crucial. If an interviewee is pushed to the brink but doesn't say, "I don't know," that does not imply they will not say, "I don't know," once they've secured a position.
Lack of competition and excessive lobbying by cellular companies is major reason behind the high mobile data cost in US. Lobbying by corporations have screwed up people of US in many areas and is no where near being challenged or controlled.
That is not what bar raising is intended to be. There's always a bar raiser in an Amazon interview loop who is not affiliated with the hiring team. They ask the same kinds of questions as the rest of the interviewers in the same way, but they're not influenced by how much the team needs to make the hire, which in theory prevents the team from lowering the bar just to get a warm body in.

I'm not saying your friend didn't get a bad interviewer. It's just an interesting demonstration of how risky it is to generalize from anecdotes.
