Thanks! I've been interested in that WSJ article, which I've seen elsewhere, but it's paywalled. Do you know if the relevant breathing exercises are discussed elsewhere?
I think what the others are getting at is it's more like the US market is competing now with cheaper labor markets.

But I understand what you're saying.
Also, bella (o brutta) figura is in Italian much more related to behaviour/politeness/education/culture, than to appearance.

Though you can say that something (or even someone) "fa figura", if it looks better than what it is really made of.
BS. The only difference between the two discussion groups is that TD dropped all the pretense. I have seen the same kinds of things that are loosely defined as 'calls to violence' in both places.
> the example of it being a federal crime to sell jam made from more than five types of fruit is remarkable

Wow! I really applied myself to looking for a motivation for regulation but failed. Any hints?
> I fear

thats seems to be the root of the problem. we're a fear driven economy now. That's why conspiracy theories are rampant, as well as actual conspiracies.

I liked the quote from Apocalypto:

> Fear. Deep rotting fear. They were infected by it. Did you see? Fear is a sickness. It will crawl into the soul of anyone who engages it. It has tainted your peace already. I did not raise you to see you live with fear. Strike it from your heart. Do not bring it into our village.
"While good advice brings value" -- absolutely it doesn't

"bad advice (eg. medical, financial, etc.) causes users to seek value elsewhere" -- absolutely it doesn't
> the movement clearly draws them

That's an assertion your "one or two cases in four years" does not support at all.

> so there is no good guarantee the protest will not turn lethal

That's not a legitimate reason to limit protests.

> shouldn't their lives be protected as well?

Police lives are very well protected, and any attack on them is met with overwhelming force. Your Micah Xavier Johnson example clearly demonstrates this - they deployed a literal killer robot to take him out.
So, a closed-source, non-audited polling app with grand security claims? What could go wrong?
> The brain has no such constraint. It is analog, and therefore infinite in State representation.

This is a common misconception.

I'm sure you are aware that analog signals can be approximated by digital values -- a 10 bit ADC will read a channel to one part in 1024, etc.

You might say that even a 64 bit representation is a poor approximation of a real life signal, which is a real number with infinite precision... But it isn't.

The brain operates at about 300 Kelvin, and so there's a noise floor to all analog signals of about that times Boltzmann's constant, or 10^-20 J. If a neuron impedance is 1 ohm, and at a bandwidth of just 10 kHz, the thermal noise is about 1 nV. For a membrane potential of 100 mV, that's a maximum possible noise to signal ratio of one part in 100 million, which is 26 bits.

Now the brain could depend on the signal below the noise floor, but if so those would be extremely fragile operations, and you could get the same thing on a computer by padding your numbers with random data.

Funny how much this is being downvoted.
Well, there's no way to know that's who/what they are if they don't provide i.d. If they're carrying weapons and won't show their license to carry said weapons, sounds to me that should be enough to arrest them, if anything could just claim their protesters and tear gas them till they vacate.
Why does he think bill gates is behind COVID? That's a new one I have not seen yet.
> Your points are incredibly divorced from the reality most face.
> It sounds like you lucked in to a company that raised a shitload early on and so had the luxury to make these decisions.

I worked for a string of them early on in my career. I was miserable and worried that I'd never get anywhere better because of the scarlet letter of working at a failed company (and several of them) would be my first impression. Rather than blaming it on luck, I resolved to figure out where I went wrong and how I could avoid it in the future.

While you cannot remove the element of timing and large scale market events outside of your control, startups are about making (and learning to make) calculated risks. Mediocre startup operators love this kind of argument (so and so can do things because they raised more money than us because they're lucky not because they executed better) because it lets them escape the consequences of their own unforced errors and ineffective execution. You won't hear this argument from effective operators because it would get laughed out of the room. They know that they have to operate proactively, not reactively from (and even before) their first fundraising event.

The most well run companies have a tendency to create exponentially more, not less, expansion and subsequent job opportunities. My advice is don't work for a risky early stage company until you learn what success looks like somewhere bigger. At an early stage startup that's on the right track, you'll see a lot of the same things just in a smaller org. But it's hard to know what you should require unless you've at least seen what it looks like to work at a well oiled machine. Folks that tell you otherwise are either ignorant or willfully trying to pull the wool over your eyes.
Mein Kampf is an important document for understanding one of the most significant and tragic events in history. Only the truly ignorant would try to remove it.
No - As mentioned in a comment elsewhere, these kinds of experiments fall dangerously into a category of duct-tape crypto.

If you want secure password transfer, do not construct a ghetto solution with stacked hashes, but use a proper protocol like SRP (which, again, is pointless unless the client is trusted).

Especially in the case of Twitter, doing this provides absolutely nothing in respect to credential confidentiality as both sites of the transaction is written by Twitter.
While I haven't read either, I expect that Mein Kampf has more historical value than the COVID book in question.
But I could just ignore/comprimise/modify your client and submit whatever I liked to the server.
So glad I caught this comment before I gave that article a chance to make me wretch.
Actually, in general we support the protest insofar as we agree that there are problems with certain police incentive structures. We heavily disagree with the rioting and looting.

Where we disagree with some people is the generalized notion that the principles of America are inherently evil and racist and that Americans society now in general is racist.
Just a reminder how much Vice sucks

> Peter’s theory is the result of the hard work of a modern, living, and well-respected scientist rather than a bunch of dead dead Central American dudes whom hippies like to talk about while taking heavy psychedelic drugs

Yeah they're dead because they were fucking slaughtered by the same forces at play in today's "violence"
That linked article is a really great example of how not to credibly criticize someone's work. There's a ton of straw man argument going on in there.
It's possible he's had a change of heart over the last few years regarding the subject. I guess only his future actions will show his real view.
Reddit's advertising tool once said that /r/The_Donald had six million daily unique visitors. Sixty-two million people voted for Trump and sixty-five million for Clinton. Six million isn't a majority, but it's absolutely influential.

Brad Parscale, the Trump campaign digital director, and Dan Scavino, Trump's social media manager, regularly visited the site.
For the curious, everyone there has moved on to thedonald.win.
he corrected wrong information. how exactly is that not adding to the discussion?
The use of "pure" in this case isn't to say "better", but rather to do with a mathematical viewpoint.

In math, if I say "x = 3" and then "y = x + 2", it is true that "y = 5" and nothing else (assuming our regular understanding of addition is given).

In programming, it might also have come to pass that some data was output to the console, and some logging took place, and maybe an HTTP request or two were carried out in the interest of making that evaluation. These are not "pure" mathematics; side-effects are impure because they are not accounted for directly in the semantics.

Purity is not on a scale. Either a language is pure, or it isn't. Nobody made any claim that purity is something to strive for in a language. Haskell has it because it was designed specifically to be a language where academics could carry out their "What if?" fantasies (which is catalogued in "A History of Haskell", a paper from HOPL III (2007)).

I will say that purity is useful in most practical programming — just not at the top level. The more purity you have in your code (by which I mean, the fewer side-effects that are not evident in the type system), the easier it is to make changes to your code and to use it with abandon. The more side effects you have, the harder it is to restructure code and reason about how things work. So within the implementation of a particular application, there might be regions of purity and then (encompassing) regions of impurity. But a given function is either pure or impure — no gradient to it at all.
That's the problem I run into too.
It appears that you misunderstand the definition of democracy, which is, a system of government where people may choose their leadership and/or laws, either directly or indirectly.

You can argue until you're blue in the face that the USA is not a democracy, but the definition or words is largely determined by consensus. And most Americans would disagree with you and refer to the American system of government as democracy due to their beliefs that voting is the most fundamental determinant of a democracy, and many Americans have first-hand experience voting for leadership, legislators, and laws.
It's pretty disingenuous to suggest that there's only a binary choice about how to deal with this problem. If you look at the policies of a site like Campaign Zero [1] you'll see that there's a lot of options that can help.

You can always just move to another country. Censorship is a complete myth.
Right wing discourse tends to incite racism, violence and hate against minority groups and people of color. How do you moderate such without regular mod teams intervening, or users moderating each other if you want to provide a welcoming environment?
This site one is one of the best. If political dialog could be moved to a peer site it would be even better.

I'm guilty of engaging in discussing politics here (and tried to do so in a factual and respectful manner) but it's pointless. It just becomes people talking past each other and generates arguments rather than dialog.

The best example I've seen yet, that illustrates why the Black Lives Matter message is important and distinct from saying "All lives matter" in a just way went something like this (paraphrased from memory, and elaborated/expanded from my imagination):

Person: That house is on fire, somebody should do something.

Person2: What about those other houses? They could catch on fire someday as well? Isn't it discriminatory to focus on this one house? All Houses Matter

Person: Yes, all houses matter but this house is on fire Right Now. It needs immediate and specific attention.

Person2: What do you have against those other houses? They are made of wood and they are capable of burning as well.

Person: Are any of them ON FIRE RIGHT NOW?

Person2: No, but they can catch on fire and some of them probably will one day. We should think about all houses and mandate residential sprinklers in future homes.

Person: YES, but RIGHT NOW this house is ON FIRE and somebody should call 911 so they can put the fire out RIGHT NOW.

Person2: Why is this house so much more valuable than all the other houses? What about all of the other houses that have burned down?

Person: Aaargghgghghg!!!!!!!
I'm not sure I've seen a single person suggesting that. People want change not an abolishment of policing as a concept.
He doesn’t strike me as the type of person to sit back and watch if he disagrees with something. If he’s washing his hands of Reddit I would venture to guess he’s explored many other avenues first.
After a smartphone died a while back I went to a flip phone. I used a variety of cobbled together solutions to get SMS messages with calendar reminders, todo items, etc. The only thing I missed was Google Maps and Email. I was fine with both of these. Email should not be "urgent" and Google Maps was barely a consideration in a city I grew up in. But then we decided to sell our house, and instant back and forth using email, web links, etc was important. Going to new locations was happening a lot as we viewed homes. So I got a new smartphone. I really enjoyed the time without one. One trick I adopted after that and still use from time to time is putting my phone in ultra power saving mode. All the functions are still there but it is far less tempting to pick up. Example: no reddit app, so you are stuck using the browser, so you have time to ask yourself if you really need to go on reddit right now.
I read through the Penrose presentation slides a few weeks ago and was very impressed with the perspective, idea, and implementation compared to the other dozens of tools I've looked at. I'm not particularly a math specialist, but I do think I'll use Penrose soon. However, it might not immediately fit my needs today.

The presentation made it appear that this was an initial implementation, and that more progress will be needed to fit more use-cases, which is great! Hopefully I can contribute.
I don't buy the argument that bullshit exists on a perpetually grey gradient. There are things that are clearly bullshit.
> When people scream “this is a bug”, it is irrelevant what it is caused by.

When people say things like this I often wonder if they worked with a more consistent caliber of people than I have.

There are most definitely bugs, and figuring out that most of them come from a couple of people is critically important to saving the project in the long run.

Knowing that you have 5 bugs and I have 7 is, I will agree, not important. But knowing that Steve has 50? Is really fucking important.
> There’s a difference between censorship and a book publisher deciding they don’t want to publish or sell a book.

If the publisher is actually pressured by the government, then that is a sneaky form of censorship masquerading as the choice made by a private-sector enterprise.

In a system that falls short of pure, unbridled capitalism, there is no such thing as a purely private-sector decision.

Corporations have to comply to regulations and rules, and those can perpetrate censorship.
I feel there needs to be some form of individual accountability. With a 99.87% acquittal rate, mostly due to dismissals, and an immunity from civil suits, it's currently impossible to actually punish any individual officer for wrongdoing. If they were opened up to individual civil liability, sure, we can let a jury decide how much damage they caused.
Not sure about public officials, but here's an open letter explicitly supporting the protests by nearly 1300 various public health and infectious disease professionals ("We support them (protests) as vital

Execs have wide latitude to do their jobs, and considering the current circumstances I could see them deciding that declining to take police as customers would be better for the company long term.

This would be a very defensible decision legally (not a lawyer). You're right that it could plausibly lead to some sort of shareholder rebellion, but I'd be surprised.
Sometimes when we have created things with code, we wipe the sweat from our foreheads and feel proud because it was kind of hard.

Usually when I have created something with clojure I feel disappointed because it was so easy.

No, it does hurt. It also means that you're making up crypto protocols, which is not something you do for fun.

Use SRP or similar if you need private password transfers (which again is still pointless if the client isn't trusted).
Edit: (Full text of the First Amendment that I could find)

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

It doesn't need to. Just as it doesn't need to have a provision for yelling "fire" in a crowded theatre. But such actions will have consequences.

Congress has the authority "To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;". Assembling for the purpose of violence is by definition an insurrection. So if the First Amendment said nothing of peaceably assembling, we can assume it is meant so, otherwise the Constitution would say nothing of insurrections.

Couple things for urination:

* don’t drink before bed

* During the day, practice going longer between peeing

* When you go pee, sort of imagine yourself still dreaming, and stop all daytime thoughts. Goal being to get back to sleep more easily

* Check light sources and anything else which may disturb sleep. Often you may need to pee upon waking and yet it may not have been the reason you woke

* A sleep tracker is always useful to help troubleshoot

* Talk to your doctor if you haven’t. Nocturia is associated with other health issues and early mortality.
Detox is a pseudoscientific concept.
It has a lot of far right misinformation, fake news and articles from fishy sites. The mods are biased and wont moderate those.

Hashing twice, on the client as well as on the server, won't introduce any security issues if the choice of algorithm is good, and it does further protect the users password from being harvested from passive MITM'd SSL like it is on some corporate networks. (Yes I know MITM means they could rewrite the client to steal passwords, but that's work) If I was designing a password auth scheme that highly prioritized user security, I would hash both client and server side.
Pedantic note on NTSC: the signal has a luma (brightness) and chroma (color) component. The NTSC standard had a place for chroma information from the get-go but it was unused for a long time. Color cameras were expensive, storage more complex, and the televisions themselves more complex and expensive. As technology improved it became more practical and broadcasters started doing color broadcasts. Old black and white televisions worked as before but then new color ones...had color. Huzzah for forward thinking specifications.

Black and white televisions just displayed the luma component of the signal. The luma component was not just the "red" signal but a measure of total brightness.

Relative deprivation will do the trick. Double the prices of essential goods in the US overnight, and watch how fast a revolt forms, and what violence it will resort to if it meets resistance.

In response to persistent injustice by police, there are really only a few options:

(a) Get used to it.

(b) Get ready to join up. More officers who care about justice mean that it's easier to get rid of the unjust officers.

(c) Get ready to defund/disband, or at least reduce the scope of, the police department.

It doesn't shock me that (c) is being mentioned. It's probably a bluff, but might have enough credibility to change the power dynamics.

> is that it is okay to be stricter in policing to catch stop these sophisticated bigots.

Yes, although of course that depends on your definition of "policing" and by whom (state vs private) Are we still talking about Facebook?

> But, doesn't being more strict mean that you'll also have more false negatives

Yes (in either case above). What you're asking about is the margins, and of course we need oversight to prevent abuse both in the private and public sector.

> And then, wouldn't you agree that this is a restriction of free speech, that people on the other side are arguing to be unacceptable?

Again, not sure if we're still talking FB.

I'm going to bow out now, thank you for the debate.
I fixed the Colorado University study link. As far as the WSJ article - unfortunately I don't have a good source on breathing exercises without the training device. Hopefully someone else can help.
