When it comes to bots (especially of the Russian variety), there is evidence that there may not be a compelling motive other than to create divisive conversations.
I think rather than having a playground, you should just put some sample nodes / lists in the Organizing section that people can delete later if they want to. As an example Notion (https://www.notion.so/) populates your workspace with examples from the start, with mock data filled in. That way you can click around with existing data, see how it works, and delete it if you don't want it.

I'm trying to see how the memorize function works and because I have no entries in Organising it won't work. I see there's examples in Playground but I can't see what they look like when trying to Memorize. I spent a few minutes trying to work out if it's possible which was pretty frustrating, and it looks like it isn't, and if it is possible then I have no idea how to do it. Having to invest time into creating realistic mock questions is a pain when there are some right there but just out of reach. The Playground is essentially just Workflowy and doesn't let you experience the rest of the app, it's not a good experience.

That being said, I really like this idea as this reflects how I used to organise a lot of my notes. I'll definitely give it a shot and look forward to see how it progresses.
Airbnb's losses swelled to $674M last year, before the coronavirus crisis
There's some irony there given that excessive body-scanning and hyper-vigilance can be common symptoms related to anxiety.

Though the CBT stuff in general and being aware of your attention does seem empirically helpful, I just find the body scanning focus as a common start may not be the best.
Is coincidence that I found most outrageous comments are by throw away accounts? I expected much more for hacker news

>You can't say the word "guys" in the Slack channel, or a bot will come and correct you, and tell you to say "folks" instead.

Yeah I'm not going to be a part of any community that does this. This is the rust community on STEROIDS.
Clicking a sub-reddit name should open the sub-reddit in a new window/tab.
Ultimately it's about maximizing the productivity of the team or engineering organization at large more than it is about optimizing the productivity of a single developer. This often means that it's worth creating a mild disruption for individuals if it prevents the team from falling into a dis-coordinated state that can take days or weeks to recover from.
Typically the debate centers around "non-ionizing radiation is safe" and strictly speaking that's probably 100% true.

>We've reversed course on plenty of things that were once believed to be fine

That is my concern. Specifically that the "non-ionizing radiation" is a red-herring. Its possible that EMF exposure effects cells in another way that we've yet to realize. As a poor analogy: Arguing that being exposed to constant visible light on the basis that "Light is non-ionizing" misses the fact that constant visible light disrupts the circadian rhythm which has a host of other ill-effects.

To be clear, I'm not suggesting that we ban something on a fear, but given the enormous potential cost if we get it wrong, it should be thoroughly studied.
It could also read back to you each letter after it's inputted for confirmation.

I know a blind guy at work and he is almost entirely using text-to-speech to drive his cell phone and computer. When you overhear it, it's just lots of menu options and webpage text being read off super quickly at 200+% speed.
You're right; I quoted the parent comment even though "deprecated" was not an accurate word choice here, sorry. CF is not deprecated because it is needed on occasion when programming for Apple platforms, but the APIs are largely obsolete.
Yeah, that's unfortunate. I haven't run up against anything like that and maybe if I did I would share his viewpoint.
I think the thing is that people are /never/ ready for changes even if they actually prepare and waiting for to "be ready first" is to wait forever and get even less ready over time.
His behavior was nonetheless completely unprofessional. He could easily have stated, exactly as you did, the situation and asked to move on.
I think the more precise surveillance capabilities are the greatest threat of 5G and being near the wrong tower at the wrong time accordingly.

The greatest strength is perhaps the lower impact of a single tower failure.
On the other hand, I think that many people are emotionally invested in believing that science must be capable of solving the hard problem of consciousness even though there is no reason to assume that science is.

It is perfectly possible that the hard problem of consciousness is in principle and forever beyond the reach of scientific investigation.
There is a factual link between COVID-19 and 5G, in some countries at least.

Huawei is in danger of being locked out of 5G network infrastructure in some countries, such as Canada. Aside from pressure from allied countries to bar Huawei from participating in its 5G network, public opinion is also overwhelmingly against Huawei thanks to the ongoing Meng affair, China's taking of hostages to secure Meng's release, as well as Huawei's legacy of corporate espionage targeting Canadian companies such as Nortel.

Huawei is now donating medical masks as part of a charm offensive. It's possible that whoever started this conspiracy theory is attempting to counter that charm offensive.

Edit: People above are wondering what might motivate people to start these rumours. Here's a likely reason, and it has been downvoted. Go figure.
Browser fingerprinting is generally frowned upon by many major browser vendors and ad blockers.

It also goes against user’s rights for privacy and tracking prevention that they have control over.

I wouldn’t be surprised if google ads classifies fingerprinting as malicious.

Remove it from the bundle and try again.

Additionally, the ability to intercept form submissions can also be seen as malicious.

Especially if it’s a 3rd party script doing the interception and making AJAX calls to another domain.

This is basically what malicious scripts do.

HTH
I have been building adtech for Google Ads etc for 15+ years. Happy to talk more if needed. But I’m pretty sure the two changes above will fix it.

Very cool project — the site is gorgeous. I've long thought there should be a way to expand artists' reach outside the expensive, laborious, and dated gallery system, while preserving the dignity, quality, and price of the work.

I'd love to understand the differences between Art in Res and Saatchi Art.
The URL is a little misleading here; when scanning the frontpage it appears the project is associated with Google, when it's really just a Colab notebook.

Maybe the Github repo would be a bit clearer to link to:

Oh, so DJB changed his mind then? Makes sense considering the application of EdDSA beyond signatures (I've heard malleability is a problem with zero-knowledge proofs, but I haven't studied that subject).
I wish reddit would allow me to download all my comments.

Apparently it's not possible since they're all archived, because reddit constantly regenerate its webpages.
Oh, it'll be more than two waves if we're lucky. See figure 4 from the the Imperial College paper[1].

Note that that paper assumes R0 of 2.2. A paper in CDC's Emerging Infectious Diseases written by researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory shows evidence that the real R0 could be as high as 5.7[2].

This guy's argument is wildly reckless, he's basically advocating for the rejected "herd immunity by infecting everyone at once" strategy that would've killed millions. He gives absolutely zero thought to the health care workers who are already dying en masse even with a quarantine strategy.

Zoom Security Concerns
You start out with a very light process. Then you have outages, or you discover that not every part of the system with appropriate care, etc. Then you put some process into place. That slows everyone down a bit... your business keeps growing, though, so "more slightly less efficient people" can capture more of the market than "fewer more efficient people" can because you have a calculation where something like 1000.4 is still greater than 101.0, so if that additional stuff getting done is worth the cost of more people, you keep doing it!

And you can cycle through this a few times. And yes, people will also cycle through "we need to reduce bottlenecks" and such, but at this point, you've been successful, you've got a bunch of money coming in, and pissing off your clients is something to be avoided, since individual efficiency is not the end goal by itself.
The moment you write out the private key it's no longer secure. Anyone who sees it (and has a good enough memory) could copy the key to another contract.

You'd need to perform the DSA algorithm in your head on the content of the contract, using your memorized private key, and write out the resulting signature block.
Using positively connoted words like “inclusive” doesn’t change the fact that most people find these demands on our word choice strange and burdensome.

> Am I in a cult?

Don’t make this personal - the GP is absolutely right that obscure moral proscriptions on language is cult-like behavior, whether or not the people involved are literally in a cult.
I just came across that book the other day. It looks very interesting; after this recommendation, maybe I should just buy it. I see they offer 2 packages. In your experience do you feel the extras in the more expensive package are worth it?
If anything I could see people who want to discredit negative 5G sentiment as loony conspiracy theorists finding it useful to pump this one.
I don't know about 2012 but in general if used correctly C++ can often be faster than C due to the widespread inlining and the use of templates. (On the other hand, if one writes C++ as if it was Java - the code will be faster than Java's but often can be optimized further indeed.)
Indeed, the machine works so well that, as a US citizen, I have little confidence in being able to stay in this country in the long term. Doesn't matter if I speak out, nothing will stop it.

It is amusing that the typical "skeptics" and "critical thinkers" online never notice. Their skepticism consists of swallowing the narrative whole, then insisting that the conspiracy is real but twice as evil as reported.
I cannot accurate describe biological mechanism because I'm not a chemist and not a biologist. But I do not see how my explanation contradicts your link. Concentration of lactic acid is building up when there are not enough oxygen in the muscles. Lactic acid could be used as a fuel by muscles or a liver, but to do that oxygen is needed. Without it concentration just builds up to the fatal levels. It means, that to get rid of lactic acid, one needs to lower his power output, to move into aerobic zone when body have plenty of available oxygen, more than it needs, and to work there for some time. One could stop completely when tired, then lactic acid through a bloodstream will reach liver, where it will be metabolized into something more useful. I believe in this case the result will be ATP, which will be ejected into a bloodstream and then used by all the variety of cells in the body.

So you are going into a debt, when your power output is higher than your aerobic abilities allow. While it is a free debt, interest rate is zero, there is a limit how much lactic acid your body could contain without harm to itself. It is oxygen debt: the more lactic acid you have, the more oxygen you owe to your body. To repay this debt you need to lower your power, to run slower than you could run indefinitely (i.e. without build up of lactic acid).

Of course it just one of the mechanism for fatigue. The other one, for example, is the lack of fuel. It is the worst kind -- you could stop and rest for an hour, but it doesn't help. You need to eat and to wait while glucose reaches muscles. Though with the training it comes easier, body learns how to digest food while running, and how to feed muscles, while they are working. If your body have fats, than it can be trained to use them. Mine body doesn't have fats, so if I plan to cycle for a several hours, I need to eat continuously while cycling or after a few hours I'll lose ability to use my legs.
This is an excellent resource for early stage founders like myself at this time.

My personal key takeaways:

- Locomotive effect may propagate later stage disruptions onto early stage businesses. Macro shifts will affect micro-level economics sooner or later.

- Doing nothing is a decision and in this climate it's often better to react and plan aggressively starting now.

- Runway matrix & scenario planning are great as a reference. Make these assumptions and gameplan a living doc so you revisit them from time to time.

- "$1 today is much more valuable than $1 in two years" especially in a recession

- "Especially in a downturn, people want to give money to companies that don’t need the money.”

- Many of your potential customers will be laying off engineers, so focusing on a "buy instead of build" message can really help your sales pitch.

- Expect fundraising rounds to take much longer (6 months plus) for the foreseeable future

- Don't forget the personal side of things and how everyone's family may be affected in unexpected ways

- To shine a light on potential and reframe your mindset, ask yourself: What are the unexpected opportunities that have come out of this chaos already?
Dangerous toward humans, or toward the environment in general? I worry we as a species haven't fully thought about the effect we are having on other species, like killing bees and deafening marine life.

Strange that they see a clear marked improvement in productivity, developers prefer it as they can find life balance and lose less time commuting, yet even with all that evidence they are now working on how to get everyone to return to the office and lessen the given productivity impact.

This is as ironic as companies complaining about skills shortage while limiting the hiring of developers down to the small pool that can reach the location of their offfice.

>"I think therefore I am" assumes the conclusion.

But the thought is self-referential. The thought is about itself thinking, and so the thought instantiates the sufficient case for a subject. And so there is no question-begging.

>The answer is that we erroneously conclude that the facts we perceive are first-person

But as long as these facts are presented or represented as being first-person, the sufficient case for first-person acquaintance has been established. Whether these first-person facts are ultimately grounded in third-person descriptions or phenomena doesn't make them illusions.
In addition to being NSFW, it's also a print, and I would be annoyed if I got it and didn't realize that. I think it's very easy to skip the line that says "limited edition print" especially given the material description being the original materials.
For the first, formative parts of our lives we are told all kinds of lies and we then later find out that these aren't true and for many people this is traumatic. For instance, stories about father Christmas, the Toothfairy and other such characters. Then of course there is religion, which starts out by conditioning children to believe things that are entirely unsupported by facts from a very early age. And advertising and so on.

This conditioning spreads, children are literally meme machines. Bit by bit faulty pieces of information get lodged in gullible little brains. By the time you reach the age where critical thinking skills become important the whole world around you has become infested with lies and half truths, and the bits stored in your head are full of logic holes and trash.

So then, at the ripe old age of 25, a person with no scientific background receives from a number of directions at once something that is not supported by facts. By default, they are going to do what they've always done: accept it as though it is true. And they will spread it around, a click here, a retweet there, a like over here. Then, once they are invested in it, just like with Santa Clause there are always going to be some individuals that refuse to give up the lie. They persist in believing it because that's easier than to give it up.

It's how cults are formed and how people end up with false beliefs that cause them to do really bad things. Like kill others. The 5G Virus Conspiracy is falling into very fertile soil. Against a backdrop of low level continuous distrust of the authorities, the vast gap between poor and rich and the number of absolutely outrageous things that we have told people to accept as fact this is not all that surprising.

If we want to change this we will have to start by ensuring that what we tell people from a very early age is the truth, and that lying and spreading a falsehood as such would be - again - seen as something dishonorable.

This of course is entirely not acceptable to large fractions of society. So we will have to live with the fact that some people become so gullible that they will believe anything that they are being told by some guy in a frock, a labcoat or who they happen to resonate with. Critical thinking skills are like other skills: you have to learn, and then you have to practice them the rest of your life to make sure you retain them.

Until then you will see these conspiracy efforts have great success and this should not surprise us at all.
That could also be explained be the possibility the the Corona connection is ludicrous while the other one is much less so.
Nearly all the popular chat systems are walled gardens at the moment, so it's not as useful.
Has anyone here actually read the full-text of the bill [1]? I don't see any mention of banning cryptography/encryption in it at all. In fact, the only thing that the bill proposes is the creation of a commission to establish best practices for child exploitation. Seems a bit unfair to call this an ANTI-ENCRYPTION bill.

I wouldn't look for consistency in shit-stirring.
> Having said all that, who benefits from the "anti-5G" coordinated effort?

In attempt to answer this question honestly, and I doubt any of these industries are actively pushing anti-5G propaganda, but cable companies, established cellular/wireless companies, and even the WiFi industry will benefit from an anti-5G message. They will all be affected if 5G lives up to it's promises.

Yeah I've been meaning to throw a kill-a-watt on the saw and see how much it's using exactly. But I've also run, for example, fans off the power station and they seemed to die faster than I thought they would.
WW3 is basically just going to be convincing idiots to burn their own national infrastructure.
Thanks for the advice. I didn't know that people would want to see how things actually appear in the Memorizing part. What you suggested (putting data that can be deleted into the Organizing part) sounds very good.
What makes you think this is some kind of conspiracy instead of the media looking for clicks?

I’m not a doctor, but I’d bet it’s closer to a cold - it spreads much faster, but may be less lethal. Also, when a virus jumps between species, its virulence can be elevated during the initial period of spread. So it might be a “really bad” cold, at least early on:
