Opposition parties might be concerned about being absent from Parliament when the Brexit deadline passes.

There's another problem, too. The First Past the Post electoral system prevents the electorate from correcting the state of affairs (except perhaps by accident). Call me cynical, but calls for an early general election under the existing system look like a power grab rather than a sincere attempt to let the electorate decide.

Is async streams and "await foreach" just syntactic sugar for things that could still be done beforehand, albeit with more code?

I mean, "slightly more code" - you can say the same about "async ... await" in general, but then it's "insanely more code" and huge potential for error.

It looks that way to me.

> It's unfortunate that internet people have been falsely conditioned to believe the people who create the media we consume shouldn't be paid.

Most of the media we consume is probably detrimental to us, even before advertising is factored in. It's not a bad thing when people have to make a choice in whether or not something is worth the money, and end up deciding it's not. It seems like people are better able to understand monetary costs than time or brain space costs.

As an aside, some of the highest quality content I've found is free and without advertisements (for example, the Ottoman History Podcast or the Religions of the Ancient Mediterranean Podcast).

"This has happened before in recent memory and is totally fitting with the powers of the Executive"

This is explicitly false, as the normal proroguing is 1 week, not 5 weeks, and such an oddly and unnecessarily long proroguing has never occured during a massive political crisis. No offense but the Supreme Court of the U.K. is more of an expert on the subject than commenters on Hacker News and it's their context and interpretation as subject matter experts we should be respecting.

This is not normal. It's not the new normal.

Good on the U.K. for standing up for the Parliament against an out-of-control Executive who really does appear to following in the footstep of the recent trend of western leaders fancying themselves fascist dictators who are above the laws and systems of their countries.

I'm a PR cheerleader as much as the next guy, but our FPTP system isn't exactly an obscure secret. You might not like the outcome that it gives you, but it's by definition what the voters voted for.
Right. "Oneness" does feel good, doesn't it? It's not unmeaningful, either. It is the "perennial philosophy".

But you are right, there is a bait-and-switch. I don't claim to describe the beliefs of current Christians, but ancient Christians, often of the near-heretical type (Origen was never sainted for a reason). Just keep in mind that there is no source of truth in Christianity. That's what all the wars were about! And no one was "right."

Early church fathers described Jesus as the Incarnation of the Logos ("the word made flesh", in highly misleading English translations).

And, the logos worldview meant that everything was an emanation of the oneness. So the logos/jesus lives in all of us.

"Son of God"=emanation of the One. See that? That is what son of God originally meant! See Philo of Alexandria for his judaeo-greco depiction of the logos as son of God in 10BC.

Rising from the dead... born of a virgin... Well, those are classic tropes in mystery religions. Fine for allegorical purposes.

Sounds like a very interesting tech. I'm curious if the Facebook brand is the right place for it though. Facing public scrutiny I don't think many people trust Facebook anymore to share the intricate info of their lives.
Do you think RMS argument is wrong here though? Why?

Age of consent in my (European) country is 16. Do you think we are all rapists here? And looking up the law 14 is permissible (with a few caveats), even if the other person is over 21.

In the United States it depends on the state. So Minsky would have done a horrible rape crime in the US Virgin Islands (age of consent 18), but in Massachusetts (age of consent 16) ... it would be all perfectly fine and A-okay? This appeal to law seems a bit relativistic for making a moral judgement?

While it's true that patient surveys generally report worsening after GET, that isn't quite the same standard of evidence as a Cochrane review. The Cochrane review had similar conclusions in 2004, long before PACE [1].

A detailed survey by Action 4 ME found that of patients who reported undergoing GET:

"11 Had NO professional input (had they therefore paced themselves ?) – mostly with positive outcomes
6 Were supervised by occupational therapists – all with negative outcomes
3 Had been sent to the gym- all negative outcomes!" [2]

When GET is done properly, it generally involves reducing activity first of all if the patient is already overdoing it, reducing stress, replacing stressful with non-stressful activity, using heart rate monitors, etc.

I think PSAPs should release a list of the most common questions they
ask 911 callers. My kids basically know how and when to call 911, but
they definitely aren't trained on the best answer to the "is this a
house or an apartment" question cited in this BBC story. (In our case,
the relevant answer is "house" even though our mailing address
includes an apartment number.) Maybe I'd create a poster so they
remember what to do under stress, e.g.,

DO tell the 911 operator that we live in a house, not an apartment

DO tell the 911 operator that we have five people in our family (omit the detail that our foster child isn't biologically related)

DO NOT tell the 911 operator that, technically, our fish are "pets"

DO NOT attempt to negotiate a Creative Commons license for the recording of the 911 call

Depends. I think it's valid. There are a tonne of libraries available in both ecosystems but I find they tend to optimize for different things.

I came from the Java ecosystem to .NET and even they are different. The .NET ecosystem was held back a little by the lack of embracing open source at the beginning and being super commercially focused. So things like finding a good library for easily working with PDF will set you back $400 rather than just using the defacto library that everyone has used forever and is free. I've encountered that with PDF libraries, rules engines, workflow engines, job scheduling libraries.

It's still a decent ecosystem, it just is different because of its roots.
The ruling is fair, it would open an international can of worms if EU bodies would start to dictate other countries users what to see on the net.

However, it means the real effect of the RtBF law is that it impedes less technically proficient internet users to search other person's data, but absolutely doesn't achieve stated goals (as nothing is forgotten, and entities which do personal data checks will for sure be able to use non-EU IPs to get unrestricted results). What it essentially does is limitation of low-skilled users search results. And that's all.

Which proves the whole thing was a combination of PR stunt, and incompetence on behalf of wide array of EU politicians, and NGO activists.

It’s a market thing. A few are willing to pay more and not everyone has to pay. As soon as everyone has to pay the price becomes very important and it should be reasonable for the content. If a podcast that takes 40 man hours a month to produce and has 10,000 listeners and charged $1 per episode... idk it doesn’t add up to me.
>And that is before I start on whether this is an actually useful way to research gene expression in general

Haven't we already reproduced existing bacteria/DNA from atoms which has allowed us to more easily study gene expression?

Moreover, we take a bacteria with 200 genes ( we understand a lot of the gene functions/expressions, but we don't understand what all these 200 genes do). Thus, we synthetically reproduce the bacteria from the atoms up while removing nearly half of the genes that we determine are not needed to sustain the living bacteria, and the resulting synthetic bacteria we created in the lab allows us to more readily isolate and study the individual genes we didn't previously understand.

Mozilla's TRR agreements require that the end user willingly consented to any shenanigans done to their DNS results from your server.

So you can make a kiddy filter DNS provider that won't let you resolve pornhub, but your users need to have gone "Yeah, kiddy filter, that's what I want" not get opted into it by a government policy.

If you don't want a TRR agreement then sure, but now you'll need to teach users to go in and manually configure your servers. I have a feeling that "Here are the mandatory government instructions for ensuring censorship citizen" is not an effective strategy.

The reason why we have FPTP is to avoid these situations.

PR usually hands power to extremist minorities, it led to the far right gaining seats in govts in Europe in the past few years (Germany was PR in the 1920s too), and there is often massive uncertainty around the formation of govts (in 2010 Belgium took nearly two years to form a govt).

It is truly bizarre that this is always one of the things that people recommend when it is well understood it would have the opposite effect from intended. PR only "works" under a very limited number of conditions (which may apply in New Zealand but don't apply in most of Europe anymore and definitely do not apply in the UK).

I'm a huge fan of this project! I have 3 set-up right now.

One as container on my Nuc at home for myself, and 2 other on old Pi's (one is a 1st gen B model) for family. A simple cron job to run every 2 months keeps everything up to date. For myself I use Wireguard to only forward DNS packets to the PiHole when I'm outside the house.

If you install a PiHole (and maybe Unchecky.com) your help desk calls from family will drop by 90% (personal experience).
My wife and I have taken opposite approaches, kinda, to curtailing social media.

She removed the FB app from her phone, so she only takes a stroll through that feed at night, while we're watching TV or whatever. She left Twitter entirely (well, her account is there, but she neither reads nor posts anymore).

I still participate in Twitter, though I've moved some of the prolific accounts I enjoy to Feedbin so my feed isn't impossible. It's about evenly split between "people I actually know" and "entertainers / writers I like who are clever." I don't go in for rage-Twitter or whatever.

I wish I could abandon FB entirely, but the network effects keep me there. The biggest one is cycling. I'm an avid road rider, and in my city pretty much ALL the coordination for cycling events (group rides, out of town trips, even happy hours) is on FB. If you leave FB, you're out of the loop.

So in a real sense, FB is both healthy AND unhealthy for me.

Yeah, though somehow the British press managed to omit that little fact from their regurgitations of John Major's claims about how dangerous and remarkable this action was. His prorogation seems much more clear-cut an example of frustrating Parliamentary scrutiny too; he completely blocked Parliament from sitting between the time he announced it and the election he was hoping to protect, unlike this case where Boris left windows for them to act both before and after the prorogation, and he didn't even have the justification that Boris did of doing it to end an over-long session and hold a Queen's Speech.

Certainly not the Irish :)

Just to note, when I was a child (actually almost until I was an adult) people were killing each other in Ireland, the UK and Northern Ireland every single week.

We all got together, and that's been over for almost twenty years, because we pretended there was/wasn't a border so the pro-UK people could pretend it was there, and the pro-Ireland people could pretend it wasn't.

Somewhat crazily, this actually worked. Unfortunately, Brexit (especially a hard one) necessitates a border. If there is a border in Northern Ireland, there will be violence, along with lots and lots of small businesses going to the wall, along with British troops back in Ireland and smuggling.

It's basically a disaster, and while the British people have the right to leave the EU, and rule the waves again, te Irish people also have a right to not start violence in Northern Ireland again.

Hence the backstop - it's not an attempt to trap the UK in the EU (although we are very, very sorry you're leaving), it's an attempt to prevent the return of violence on the island of Ireland.
