I did this a while back, and got rid of the home phone. We had made the transition to VoIP in the early 2000s, and then migrated the number to Google, Anveo, and finally Twilio. I was tired of getting calls all day for various things and decided to make a Twilio Studio IVR. Now, I have text messages and certain calls (if someone vocalizes a choice or pushes a key) forwarded to mine or my wife's mobile.
I have an AeroPress. I have a few different french-press mugs. I have a disc you place over a much, with a little fabric pouch in the middle for the grounds, and then pour in the hot water. (They're all convenient in different scenarios.)

I can honestly say that I never notice any taste difference (assuming I'm using the same beans). I don't doubt many people can taste the difference, and it's a big deal for them. But I also think there are many people who, like me, honestly don't taste much of a difference.

This seems to say it, but I guess as luckylion points out, e2e doesn't mean not decrypted in the middle, it means no one besides the ends has the key. So you're right, the design they say isn't really e2e encrypted.

Agreed except for the part about refactoring:

> if management believes them and gives them a free hand, then sprint velocity goes down by 80% and bug counts go up by 90% as stuff randomly breaks in the refactor.

5x less velocity and 10x bugs is not the result of any sane refactor. Anywhere close to this would indicate that either the devs massively underestimated the complexity of the job or their own competence, or something else in the process is broken, such as letting the senior estimate and the junior implement the change. The vast majority of refactorings are in my experience non-events, simply because I'm by now used to working with thoroughly tested systems.

> The nature of pushing a packaged book with ideas about elevating a certain type of language with a certain type of goals over anything else and expecting people to conform in the work place, is controlling someone else's language.

So can we agree that your problem is not with NVC but with a few people?

The scenario I can think of where what you are witnessing makes some sense is if someone (perhaps management?) is saying that people are not effectively communicating when there are problems and they're recommending NVC as an alternative. That makes sense, and is not at all problematic. If, OTOH, they are saying "We're picking NVC as a style of communication", then it's problematic if the employees don't agree with this. As an example, my workplace used to have a 2 day workshop on effective communication (not NVC, but more or less the same[1]). But it was purely voluntary and no one called out on someone if they didn't take the workshop or practice it.

If management is pushing you to communicate this way and you don't want to, change your job. But don't knock NVC for things unrelated to it.

I do get the sense from a number of comments (not necessarily yours) that people think they should be able to express themselves at work however they feel most comfortable. That's an unrealistic expectation at any sizable workplace. How you choose to communicate does impact team productivity and is definitely a factor in promotions, continued employment, etc. I don't hire you to do solo work - I hire you to produce results while collaborating with other people. And communication styles do impact how well you will collaborate with people.

[1] It's more or less the same because most books on effective communication are the same.
How do you go about finding such pieces of land? Agents? Classifieds?
I now agree with your point that it's not really e2e encrypted, because they never claim they don't have the key.

But I don't think "can't decrypt it" is necessarily a requirement for e2e encryption. Maybe can't decrypt it with a passive attack. With an active attack it's possible to decrypt even e2e encrypted stuff assuming there's no out of band key exchange. Most Zoom users won't bother with an out of band key exchange.

It is an anti-parasitic and immune-regulation drug. Not really an antiviral. I guess the theory is that it’d regulate an immune over-response. But I don’t think the science is m showing that to be true in this case.
That's why I included all the other wildlife, not to mention fish. And deer breed like rabbits.
To me, this is an interesting result for three reasons:

1) it appears to be effective against three main forms of the Borrelia spirochete: the normal corkscrew shape, the round-body cyst, and biofilm (they don't call it by that name, but say "drug-tolerant persisters" whose meaning I'm inferring from rest of the literature).

2) it was approved to be tested in mice, which is a step on the way to human clinical trials. Other results, such as the active compound in honeybee venom, melittin, were only tested "ex vivo" on pigskin at body temperature.

3) it has the potential to work as quickly as antibiotics, and not 9 months to 2 years as many plant-based protocols take. Potentially without killing human gut flora.

There is anecdotal evidence of PTLDS patients who are skilled with phlebotomy being able to culture lyme bacteria from their blood samples after letting them sit for a day or two, something that no conventional blood lab has time to do.

https://howirecovered.com/lyme-disease-under-the-microscope/

Unfortunately, the lack of peer-reviewed results to verify this could mean either this method is not reliably reproducible, or there is no funding / appropriately prestigious or profitable way to pursue this line of research.

It's a question I'm interested in, and would help fund as a citizen scientist. Even without a proposed treatment, the methodology of reliably detecting Lyme borrelia in blood could itself be patented.

I'm very grateful this kind of research continues!

Weeks ago the CDC lied, saying that masks aren't effective and that the general public shouldn't wear them. They did this ostensibly to keep the existing mask supply available only to medical workers. Needless to say, if they're ineffective for the general public, they're ineffective for doctors and nurses. And so people saw through the bullshit
"I can't fathom how it isn't a violation of the Constitution to (ostensibly) search every individual driving along a major highway. What ever happened to 'probabale cause'?"

How can someone possibly not 'fathom' a scenario?

There's someone shooting at people/cops, car chase, prison break out, or some kind of major violent criminal moving down the highway - they may roughly what he looks like, i.e. race and gender, hence, people who fit this profile get flagged, those that don't move on.

How hard is that to imagine?

Surely it's pretty rare, but surely such situations happen.

I've literally never seen anything like that in my entire life so it's probably not like the police are likely to be acting outrageously disproportionately.

Not necessarily. It does follow that if you submit to a tracker, but there's the DHT option which is advertised locally [0].

At best it also includes some chunks of whatever you're trying to download.

Indeed it would. Things like Patreon are still usable even if you're "just" a contributor, but it'd be nice if there was one of these patron platforms that better showcased open-source contributions. GitHub Sponsors is a step in the right direction, but there's still a waitlist to be eligible for sponsorships after, what, a year?

Of course, in all likelihood, if jobs are drying up then so will such sponsorships, be it on existing platforms or entirely new ones.

No, things have gone from bad to terrible in the internet era.
It can instead be logically inferred that it must not be what he's arguing.

Coase: “Or, alternatively, if this operator had the right to cause interference, he would be willing to desist if he were paid more than the costs of suppressing the interference or the decrease in the value of the service he could provide if interference were barred. And the operator whose signals were interfered with would be willing to pay to stop this interference an amount up to the decrease in the value of his service which it causes or the costs he has to incur to offset the interference.”

Why would the operator have to pay to stop this interference if he owns that spectrum? If I go onto your land do you have to pay me to get me off of it? No, you have legal protection protecting that property right against non-consensual trespass.

Similarly, we can then conclude the operator must not have a property right of that spectrum if he must pay to prevent trespass, otherwise the operator would be able to file a criminal injunction to prevent the interfering individual from continuing to disrupt his signal at little cost--as you would do for a land trespass.

You're confusing the specific bill he mentions in the preceding section about the legal etiology of the FCC, which had proposed to do exactly what you're mistaking as the argument of Coase; where Coase thinks only that that specific bill shouldn't have been dismissed so trivially and as a resolve to the current situation where the FCC has already sold partial licenses--but leaves it thoroughly short of an advocation as he develops the case of no special regulation for broadcasting rights.

That is addressed in the article:

Skeptics are quick to point to the placebo effect: The body’s capacity to heal itself after receiving only the simulated experience of medication or therapy is well documented. But precisely because that capacity is so well documented, reflexive dismissal of the placebo effect as “fake medicine” demands scrutiny—and is now receiving it. In late 2018, The New York Times Magazine reported on a group of scientists whose research suggests that responsiveness to placebos, rather than a mere trick of the mind, can be traced to a complex series of measurable physiological reactions in the body; certain genetic makeups in patients even correlate with greater placebo response.

I think the idea that we have a biological response to people showing they care about us is plausible. That would suggest it might also have a different/stronger effect than meditation. I would be very surprised if there was a measurable difference between "real" and theatrical Reiki, though.

Evolution will select for brains with more accurate models subject to other constraints and as a result, I doubt it will rarely (if ever) reach a global maximum.

More accurate models presumably have costs (e.g., bigger brains are metabolically expensive). The fitness landscape has local maxima, and they may be hard to move away from (as in the eyes I mentioned above). There are lots of caveats like those.

We know that a lot of internal models are not particularly accurate. The visual system only acquires a tiny bit of high-resolution data at time (with a hole in it[0]) and interpolates the rest. Loss aversion, the gamblers' fallacy, and the rest suggest we're not great at modelling uncertain outcomes. Even mental models of physics differ from reality in some key ways [1].

It's possible that these are still slowly improving, but I think it's more likely that much better models have an unfavorable cost-benenfit profile.

These flowchart guides to being an X developer are posted on here periodically, and they're often pilloried for being bloated and intimidating. I think they're plenty fine, they just require the right framing.

The keyword for this one is "modern", and the keyword for almost all of these comprehensive lists should be "senior". As a senior front end engineer I have exposure to almost every item on this list and can speak to either a time I've used them, or why I opt not to use them (Tailwind CSS, Gatsby.JS, Rollup, and some others). As a newer developer, you are not expected to have exposure to most items in the list. Rather we just want you to be on your way to being highly proficient in the important ones.

Also, picking one item from a group (items connected to a block by dotted lines are in the same group) and learning it well is sufficient. In learning one of those well you'll get scant exposure to the others (via reading articles and such), and from that you can make a switch at some point, or better know why you won't be switching.

These charts can be valuable for understanding the scope of a profession, but they shouldn't be intimidating.
