They certainly meant the former, whether they're lying to us or to themselves is the more pertinent question.

They appear to be making the claim that unlike the soft left, they are heroically and manfully exposing themself to the raw truth.

However he doesn't really seem that bothered to have discovered that he's some kind of pure specimen that can deal with the "reality" that the Nazis were right and it, hey who would have guessed, it turns out he is better than the minority groups and women that they target. What a bitter pill that must have been for him to swallow.

There's layers of irony here, so he could be genuinely warning people that they will turn into an unlikable asshole like he feels he has, it's hard to decipher all the layers.
The best part about the interviewing style of Joe Rogan is that the guests are feeling welcome and free to say what they think. Joe has his own opinion and both are free to be wrong, and stupid. This combined with the long format is a great way to discover guests and how they really are.

Traditional media is all about opinions and to tell you what you think. Quick! Put this idea in this box! If you think this then you must be that. There is not enough room for people to be wrong or explore alternative ideas. There is such angst, as if the society was so fragile that one badly categorized idea would make all the society crumble. Quick, it has to be correct on the spot before it spreads further!

The irony is that the article recognized that but then couldn't help himself to condescend to the public and Joe Rogan at the end. It gave a pretty good description of the Joe Rogan experience and then failed at replicating it.

> But I think that's an unfair comparison because of an inherent bias that when you think about a movie like The Matrix you don't see it with the same critical lens because you perhaps had less knowledge of the world in your earlier years.

Nah, the worst BS explanation in The Matrix was just as immediately triggering, even though I was younger. The difference is that:

(1) the rest of the movie contradicted the nonsense explanation (in part because it wasn't the actual concept, but a revision added in narration only without revising the rest of the film (or the sequels) around it in response to test audiences confusion with the explanation that the creators originally had in mind), and

(2) the narration providing it was given to a character that, while set up as the “wise mentor”, it was pretty critical to the entire series was unreliable narrator.

eh saying the "others" are the enemy is as old as civilization. If you think people wealthier than you are the enemy just wait until you hear about people less wealthy than you.
He's an advocate of universal healthcare, and universal basic income. I'd say that's left-wing.

He hosts many people on the political right, and his interview style is generally sympathetic and non-adversarial, so it would be easy to mistake him for right-wing, in a world where conventionally people do not entertain political ideas other than their own.

I've only done a little PHP, but the key feature is that your entry points are just template files, right? You spin up a daemon and someone "visits" your PHP file and it renders itself.

I wonder if you could achieve those ergonomics with Node/Express: you spin up a daemon and put JS files in a directory that just export HTML render-functions, and bam. People can just "visit" your JS templates.

I don’t think people downvote others because of reasoning. People usually downvote strictly from disagreement. People who are disagreeing with me probably work in fin tech. That’s how human psychology works in my opinion. But this is off topic, if you disagree with my opinion on why the downvoting is occurring, then we can agree to disagree, That being said... let’s get back on topic.

I am 100% aware of what you disagree with. You don’t disagree with me, you disagree with my reasoning, and what I am doing is lending more detail to my reasoning so that it is more clear the foundations it is built off of. My last statement served only to do this, it is not written to give you advice.

You gave a counter example, I stated how your counter example is not what I am referring to. Since i have no scientific proof or statistical evidence proving my point I made an appeal to your intuition. Intuitively if you can imagine many abstract systems we design to be overly complex and if such systems are abundant then it is very likely finance which is also an abstract system we designed holds such a property. Is this reasoning flawed or not?

Actually to be honest I think people are voting me down because I used the words: “I have no idea what’s going on” then proceeded to say that someone was completely wrong. Credentials trump logic in human psychology as nobody believes the arguments of someone who has claims he has no idea what’s going on even though his arguments are sound. I think it’s abundantly clear now that I do have greater than expected understanding then what my initial statement implied.

> For me, it's more about who Rogan is talking to...
> he's one of the only people doing this...

I skip a lot of episodes because I also don't care for the MMA talk and most of his guests, but these two statements pretty much sum up why I've been a long time subscriber to his podcast.
Regulating Bitcoin Doesn't Need to Be Complex
Anyone have any experience with getting an ioc container going in your python project? What route did you go?
Personally I'll be glad if this serves me as a tool to get info from `ps`, `netstat` and similar things without looking through man pages every time I'm doing something other than the handful routine invocations.

Thought of writing such an util myself, actually, though not with SQL.
I've been working my way through all the sci-fi and mystery radio shows on archive.org over the past few years and there have definitely been some cringe worthy material. Gender roles, racism, and excessive use of derogatory terms for just about any condition...wow was some of that stuff just horrible. Covering nearly 30+ years I can hear the world getting better the later you listen.
There is similar stuff for games and mobile apps but you're usually left implementing your own UI in whatever technology on top of a REST API.

https://xsolla.com

Another analogy is Facebook some years ago when Farmville and Zynga were incredibly popular. Facebook had this platform for apps where you wrote "FBML" which was a secured subset of HTML they would translate and then put into a frame on their website where people would use your app or game. If you were writing an app in that era you would fetch user information from their API etc. HTML has changed enough to skip an intermediate FBML language today.

Drupal and WordPress are also quite similar the main difference is your content, your application, resides on a second server instead of combined which is how Dashboard is stack-agnostic.
The podcast has changed a lot since it first started almost a decade ago. Podcasts were far from mainstream and the Fleshlight was one of the biggest sponsors. The things that didn't change were the long form conversations and insane number of hours poured into the show. Joe had a long time to build an audience and he put the hours in to get better (3000+ hours if I had to take a guess).

It also helps that he actually wants his guests to change his mind on subjects if they can rationally argue their position.
> But it sounds unlikely that a) there really was that single origin cell

This is just a fact. All life that we know of has the same origin. Common descent is a core tenet, and one of the best established facts, of modern biology (https://doi.org/10.1038%2Fnature09014). For there to have been multiple distinct ancestors, we would need to see some relevant differences in the core machinery of life. And the fact is that, despite minor variations, we simply don’t see any. The odds of there being multiple distinct ancestors is astronomical, and would fundamentally impact our understanding of modern biology.

> and b) no organism has drifted in the millions of years of evolution

Organisms have drifted. That’s what evolution is. But evolution plays by rules, it can’t just change things willy-nilly. Changes to the core machinery would presumably either break it outright, or be so strongly detrimental as to be purified away almost immediately. Of course many genetic changes are deleterious to some extent but most effects can either be buffered for a short time because they are minor, or they confer some other advantage. In the core machinery of the cell this is much (!) less tolerated because even tiny chemical inefficiencies would immediately be amplified millionfold. Odds are, the DNA/RNA core machinery of all life sits in a steep local optimum. It’s not necessarily a global optimum but it’s essentially impossible to evolve out of because any individual change, or even a handful of coincidental changes, would leave the organism a lot worse off.

I appreciated this article. I agree that "Microsoft was never in it for the history."

Not to sound cynical, but I believe MSFT wasn't trying to sell encyclopedias, they were trying to sell CD-ROM drives.

The upcoming Windows 93 (whoops, we slipped a little, make that 95) was going to require a billion floppy disks for distribution. Retail products were shipping in large boxes with comically tall stacks of expensive floppy disks.

CD-ROMs, on the other hand, are so cheap to distribute that AOL mailed them out as unsolicited junk mail.

It was worth sinking some money into a bunch of high-quality CD-ROM titles to get those drives standard on all PCs. Once that task was accomplished....

I.e., every age ever; the times when it seems less so are just the times when one faction has been so successful that public dissent from the mainstream view has been effectively suppressed, minimizing viisble conflict (that appearance is probably especially strong if that side is your own.)

I mostly agree with you, I just want to offer that a great critical interview is possible, and it meaningfully differs from an adversarial interview. (Sam Harris has some great critical interviews that are not adversarial, for example.) Further, adversarial interviews can be good, too. It's just that so many of them are lazy, terrible, and sanctimonious nowadays.

I expect Apple is working on this type of technology for their next iPhone. What better use case for a back facing depth camera (yes, I understand this demo was performed with a standard camera, but it would likely be better with a depth camera). The implications for their maps, home furnishing, AR, Android differentiator... all very interesting, and Apple will likely do it right. Want a high resolution capture of a vase in your living room? Just walk closer. Claim a space and mark it private? Sure. An option to turn an elaborate house into a basic ceiling/walls/floors for others, maybe.
>rewards boring

I mostly like "boring" when it comes to card rewards. I find the more "exciting" they get the harder rewards are to use or at least to use in a way that actually is of more value than a theoretically smaller amount of cash, e.g. flight and hotel upgrades that are nice enough but which I wouldn't actually pay for out of my pocket.
No worries you are not alone, I presume he is mostly known in the US (Fear Factor, The Man Show, UFC - what are those? I didn't spend much time in front of TV in last 15 years, there was/is life to be lived).

Nobody expects for example americans to know some french or spanish comedians/hosts, and HN is predominantly american website.

He seems interesting but the lengths of podcasts mentioned in the article are showstoppers for me - I can't imagine dedicating 3-5 hours to this (and I can't properly listen to such conversation and do something else). That said, I got motivated to watch the Musk part, mainly for the Musk himself.

The article, albeit with its flaws, mentions interesting point - his popularity being the result of these uber-politically-correct days, where masculinity is often frowned upon, and white western guy should feel guilty for being who he is/was and keep apologizing (I am not western and not american so this is a foreign feeling to me, but I get where it comes from). Every action makes reaction, a nice example of this general principle.
I don’t think anyone is suggesting something similar to “This app would like to access your camera” but for unmitigated root access.

It could even be as involved as getting an official image from apple/google that allows root access. I don’t think a “mom” would accidentally download an image and flash their telephones.
If you can count trucks leaving a company factory without trespassing (e.g., from a public highway), then it's not "non-public" information. "Non-public" information isn't strictly a function of how widely the information is disseminated. If anyone could obtain the information without trespassing, then it's not "non-public."

Really glad to see this release, some really nice features coming with 3.5
A friend of mine had her young brother suddenly developing a narrow line on the skin, growing quickly; 24 hours later both his arms and legs were amputated to keep him alive.

I am wondering if having allowed emergency wide-spectrum antibiotics freely for such cases would help? Time seems to be extremely critical in such cases.
If you've been around more than 10 minutes, you've seen it a thousand times - some new technology that will save the world, only never to be heard from again. The reason to believe it can't improve is that we've seen it too many times before.

You get a straight 1% back, daily, with Apple Card (except for Apple Pay purchases).
Not just you, I am sure they are working on it.
I'm surely still not in the 99% but honestly there's hardly any content that individually actually matters to me, it's almost all info-tainment. If it's hard to read then I won't bother at all.

There's exceptions like restaurant menus at specific places that I'm considering, but certainly there's no mainstream news article that's worth me staining my eyes over: if it loads a desktop site on my mobile phone I'll definitely just hit back and move on regardless of the content.

Social media reconsiders its relationship with the truth
Great points and 100% agree.

Rogan is refreshingly centrist in a country that is alarmingly polarized.

The extremes of both sides seem to genuinely hate him.

I do wish he'd taken a tougher stance on Alex Jones though. I get that they're "real life friends" but the Sandy Hook stuff alone should have been enough to 86 his access to Rogan's audience.
I have to disagree.

If you want to represent a one-dimensional gradient where what is most important is "hot vs cold", i.e. the extremes, then you shouldn't be using a colormap (rainbow) in the first place, you should be using a direct gradient instead, whether grayscale or interpolated between two nearby colors (e.g. red/yellow).

Colormaps are for where highlighting local variation is important -- more important than indicating whether something is closer to one extreme or another. In the examples, this means being able to distinguish the patterns of the objects. In math plots, it means helping to see the shapes of curves. In weather maps, that means judging variation within your state, even while the map ranges from Alaska to Florida.

For this, it's most important to be able to maximize contrast in local differences but also have the perceptual rate of change be roughly comparable.

Rainbows maximize contrast using hue, because our eyes can simply distinguish so much more than with just brightness. Turbo makes the rate of change more constant than Jet. And Jet/Turbo most importantly double the resolution that Inferno has, going from dark-bright-dark rather than just dark-bright.
Our security team uses this, we’re about 1500 employees. However, I believe they opted to use a fork over this linked version, citing (IIRC) that Facebook’s roadmap for this project was a little bit too unpredictable, and that they weren’t responsive to PRs and community requests. I think we went with https://github.com/osql/osql.

It’s installed on every laptop (chrome books and MacBooks), and I believe on every EC2 instance, and they have nothing but good things to say about it. We did have to come up with an aggregator solution for storing the results of the queries, but I’m under the impression that it wasn’t too big of a lift.
An Easy Way to Make Money on Bug Bounty
Hi, Great that you are here even before you graduated.

Education system in India may not so good but not the worst, it may depend on the university, however you can always learn more outside of class or internet than in the classroom. It doesn't mean university graduation is not necessary, they will help you how to get started, I don't think this ks the right time to talk about good companies, bad companies as there are many international organisations resides here. First, you should master yourself at things that you are keen. What I would suggest you is keep an eye on technologies. Learn as much as you can. Master a programming language before you come out of the university, because that's how you can get into any company. Read more articles here, medium elsewhere. Be motivated.
About your salary expectations, you may can't get 60LPA at your initial career, I don't think if it's even possible in abroad but I would suggest you gain skills first, hope it helps, good luck
