This is doing the right thing for the wrong reasons.

I haven't used Facebook for years, because their entire platform is based on collecting data and manipulating users to sell ads. They sell the collected data even when it's a gross violation of users' privacy, and manipulate even when it causes depression, addiction, fear, and anger. I absolutely support boycotting Facebook and in fact all social media[1].

But like it or not, Facebook has become a communications platform for a huge portion of our population, and as such, they have a responsibility to protect the free speech of their users. Starting off as a communications platform and then turning into a censored platform at this point would be a bait and switch, and a serious step toward totalitarianism.

Totalitarianism enforced by corporations isn't better than totalitarianism enforced by government. Free speech is an inalienable human right, and doesn't disappear because you've (foolishly) put a corporation in charge.

And while I do agree that totalitarianism enforced on behalf of good ideas like anti-racism is better than totalitarianism enforced on behalf of bad ideas is better, once we decide to give totalitarian power to corporations, there's no going back. I don't trust corporations with that power--Facebook has already shown that they cannot be trusted with this power when they censored Palestinian journalists in Israel, and cooperated with totalitarian regimes during the Arab spring to censor pro-democracy content. History has shown us over and over again that totalitarianism in the name of noble ideals always becomes corrupt.

[1] I'm notably a hypocrite with regards to Reddit. But just because I'm a hypocrite doesn't mean I'm wrong.
> Mice with extra long telomeres have exceptional tissue repair capacity while also being susceptible to tumor growth....

> All past studies that used mouse models to study the impact of drugs are skewed to under report toxicity and over report carcinogenicity.

Could the data from long telomere mice be de-skewed to compensate for new-understood effects the long telomeres?
> No. Just build a system that works like the perfectly functional and affordable systems in much of Europe.

I don't see how that can happen until there is broader acknowledgement of what is actually appropriate in terms of education. No one is prepared to the admit that university degrees from PhD granting institutions aren't required, or are inappropriate, in all cases.

College is now a prerequisite for many jobs that don't need a university-level education. People are lazy and upping the bar is an easy option compared to handling the risk of choosing a "less qualified", but appropriate candidate.

Research drives investment while teaching doesn't. Even if you are a relatively bad at (or ill-equipped) for research you can still bring in money with this approach. In some cases, only parts of institutions should be participating, but you aren't a real university if your focus isn't primarily on "world class research."

Students are stuck with a bunch of bad options. They are unlikely to want to disappoint parents who want them to go to college and be successful. If they go down an alternative route them they'll be filtered out because systems are built around people have degrees.

I think it's an extreme stretch to say that Reddit has a monopoly. Or even Reddit + Facebook + YouTube. My response would be to tell people to rediscover personal websites, mailing lists, and IRC. I'd be more concerned if ISPs, DNS providers, and payment processors start policing users' politics (which they have, recently, see the Carl Benjamin AKA "Sargon of Akkad" situation where payment processors threatened to cease business with Patreon unless they kicked him off the site). Being kicked off of Facebook or Reddit doesn't prevent someone from publishing their content. I've always told people if you want reliably get your message across, host your own website. It's not hard to pick up some basic HTML and CSS. It's only once the ability of people to publish their own messages that I get concerned.

As far as Reddit and Facebook go, understand that freedom of speech also means freedom from compelled speech. It's not just about being able to say what you want, it's about being able to not say the things you don't want to say. Making Section 230 contingent on hosting all legal content compels people so say a lot of things they don't want to say.
So Intel has lost the price and performance war against the latest Ryzen architecture and has also lost the fab war against TSMC and if the rumors of Apple moving to their own ARM based arch on TSMC node next year come true, then I expect Intel stock to take a serious tank.

That being said, I'm not too worried about Intel, they have such a diverse silicon portfolio(FPGAs, Optane, etc.) that I'm sure they'll be fine in the end.

Everything you've pointed out is common knowledge in the developed world, which is what we're talking about. These communities you speak of aren't created by the language to which you're objecting, they create that language.

You're confusing cause and effect, which was my initial point. If those objectionable statements did not previously exist, incels and others would create them. This is why policing language is stupid. It's a symptom not a cause, and focusing on the language as the problem also punishes people who would never abuse another person.

Comedians run into this wall all the time. No one's going to hear a racy joke and then think it's suddenly ok to go assault someone. Even if someone were contemplating assault, the joke wouldn't be some "final straw" that drives them to do it, and trying to classify it as such simply ignores the real underlying issues.
But the community would be a subreddit, not the site reddit.com, which is far too heterogeneous to be considered some kind of community.
Hey HN, we built a tool that uploads CSV files to a hosted PostgreSQL and gives you database credentials to query it. We recently built a number of database integrations for one of our products and had to manually create test databases with seed data in them. We think this would be helpful if you're building a simple web application or taking a coding course and need a quick way to add some of your own data for testing. It might also be helpful if you are running a demo/pilot with a potential customer and want to easily add a more relevant dataset for them. Give it a try and let us know if you have questions or feedback.
> China is largely ethnically homogenous

This is a fiction that was created by Chinese nationalists [1] [2] [3] over the course of the 19th and 20th centuries.

"Dialects" between provinces can be very different and mutually unintelligible verbally. In many other contexts they would have been considered different languages, but since the imperial bureaucracy and the Chinese writing system helped maintain a sense of unity in spite of it we don't.

All this isn't to say Han identity is any less real than any other identity. The idea of "ethnic identity" is fundamentally constructed and imaginary across the board. That's also why it's not a great explanatory factor for much of anything. These categories aren't primordial, they're usually reflective of the very thing for which you're trying to use it as an explanation.

Exactly! People seem to conflate anti authoritarianism with being pro democracy. It absolutely doesn't have to be the case and India is a great example of it.

Even with this perspective the original comment doesn't make sense since it also says the app was meant "to gather information on us".
I think the argument here is that scientists who work with mice are by-and-large aware of this. It's fine we're communicating this to the public, but the tone that's struck by the Rogan podcast feels a bit more like we're exposing something scientists are hiding or are unaware of.
I agree. The problem is cost (higher, not being paid for by the company), and rewarding the ISP for their poor service by paying them more.

My philosophy is that you just have to accept that we messed up by letting one company monopolize the space, and pay them more for their better service... but not many people agree with me.
I always thought widgets were a huge deal and then I realized... and I played with them all the time but inevitably ... I used them less and less and less.

That isn't just an outright baseless claim, it's wrong by definition. The said person had to go to social media to find a donor, which 100% matches what I descibed, and the fact that some felt this was necessary points to a broken system. It's also terrible to imagine what shady companies can do with targeted ads aimed at vulnerable people who can't find any donors.

New users trying to help other new users to triage questions doesn't really work well.

If someone doesn't grok the way that Stack Overflow works, the information that new users add (or ask for) may do more harm than good (see examples of people adding random formatting). Many times this just is reinforcing bad habits.

If you feel this could be useful, I would encourage you to try helping out by editing questions in the Help and Improvement queue so that they are good questions with all the necessary information (and matching the style that Stack Overflow expects).

There was a mentorship project at Stack Overflow a bit ago - but it didn't scale and the expectations were mismatched (many new users were expecting help with their problem /now/ rather than help with trying to make their question better).

The video game analogy - its not that you need to team up to solve a problem, its realizing that the quest(ion) has already been solved by someone else so you don't need to do it again.

I don't think any "irreplacable" data or conversation should be on reddit. If I lose my conversations about funny cats, or factorio, or why I love a programming language, I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it. I agree with you for critical stuff, I don't think they belong to reddit. But please understand that for consumers like me, reddit is an incredibly convenient social media. I can login now and spend hours talking about hundreds of different things. There is no way in hell I'll be able to register to so many different forums and not get frustrated.

I don't know what riot means to you, but:

1. There wasn't an 8:46 video showing Noor murder her (no video publicly released until trial?).

2. The PM of Australia immediately denounced it and called for action.

3. BLM protested the shooting and failure to immediately charge Noor in the streets of Minneapolis.

4. The police chief resigned almost immediately.
It is a framework-agnostic "batteries included" config that aims to enable as many plugins and rules as possible to make your code extremely consistent and robust. It uses Prettier code style and autoformats your code with eslint-plugin-prettier.

There are dozens of great ESLint plugins out there. Did you know that there is a plugin that can optimize your regexes for you? Or did you know that ESLint can validate *.json files? This config allows you to gain the power of all those awesome plugins with a single `npm install`.

Fun (and useful) fact: you can use typescript-eslint for linting your JavaScript code. That's right, you can take advantage of typescript-eslint's type-aware rules, like `@typescript-eslint/naming-convention` and `@typescript-eslint/prefer-optional-chain`, without the need to switch to writing TypeScript. Use the `hardcore/ts-for-js` config for that.

Also, did you know that when you enable an ESLint rule with "rule-name": "error", you don't get all the benefits the rule can provide? Many rules have advanced options that are disabled by default. For example, the `no-unneeded-ternary` rule has the `defaultAssignment` option that can enforce using `foo = bar || default` instead of `foo = bar ? bar : default`. And the `no-param-reassign` rule allows you to modify parameter properties by default, which is considered a bad practice. This config uses those stricter options whenever it makes sense.

Back in 2016, when I started compiling this config, it was helping me begin my JavaScript journey. I was using it on small projects, and it was helping me avoid many JavaScript pitfalls. Over the years it grew and proved itself as an extremely useful tool for all kinds of projects, both backend and frontend. Now, I can't imagine what I would do without it and how much more painful our code reviews would be. And I really want to avoid any kind of nitpicking in pull requests. Let ESLint catch (and most of the time autofix!) all problems early.

The funniest thing: 500 rules are still not enough. We still spend time in code reviews catching issues and inconsistencies, especially when there are new developers on the team. So, expect to see more and more plugins and rules in the config in the future.

Let me know what you think. Try it out. Suggest more plugins.

Denying service obviously requires discrimination: you normally provide the service, but you intentionally don't provide the service to certain customers you pick out from the rest.

But jim crow laws aren't bad because they are just discriminatory, they are bad because they discriminate based on race. Racism, sexism, and classism aren't bad because they are kinds of discrimination, but because they are inappropriate grounds to discriminate on. A good example of a basis to discriminate on is sexual misconduct: if any of my friends want to ostracize or refuse service to someone who has recently been convicted or accused of sexual misconduct, I won't mind at all. But if instead they want to ostracize or refuse service to someone who is black or latino, I will mind a lot. This is because I don't care whether they are being discriminatory, but what grounds they are discriminating on.

You are not wrong, but don't forget Sturgeon's Revelation: "90% of everything is CRUD."

What makes something valuable is the 10% of the thing that is not CRUD, and whatever measures put into place to make sure that the 90% CRUD doesn't poison the 10% that's worthwhile.

To me, that's having clear guidelines that are consistently applied through moderation.

Imagine if someone said the cure for cancer is to get cancer out of the body. Okay...but I think there needs to be more concrete steps for actually accomplishing that.
Ok. In my view that's unreasonable. Website operators should have the freedom to moderate their sites without fear of being shut down. Moderation is part of the product, they should have the freedom to create online communities that cater to specific audiences, including with respect to political partisanship if that is where their values lie. It seems unreasonable that all the users that enjoy the site as is should lose access to it because of some users who disagree with the site's moderation policies.

This is only a problem for take off from large bodies. Mass per mass, you'll get a lot more delta-v from a Hall engine than from a Merlin. It'll just take a lot longer to get to that point.

Which brings up an interesting option for NTRs: bimodal propulsion. From a single propellant tank you could drive both an NTR and a Hall thruster, depending on your acceleration needs. Hall thrusters aren't heavy (certainly not compared to fission reactors) and you could use your NTRs when you needed high acceleration (such as to reduce transit times or to take off and land from a big rock) and use the low-power extreme-efficiency Halls for most of the trip when you'd be coasting.

What they want is everyone's butts back in their chairs, in the office. The rest sounds like pretext.

One would have to approach that very carefully without completely spooking your advertising customers. Suspending a company for suspending its marketing spend on your platform would be one hell of a precedence to set.

Enshrining something like a zero tolerance policy for anti-FB activism on the platform would be one avenue to pursue, but that is also threading a fine line.

Shadow banning activists might be a nice intermediary e.g. you can still post to your page but it absolutely will not show up on other people's feeds.
Yes, cold brewed coffee can have much more caffeine than you'd expect given the smoothness of the taste. Back when my brother managed a coffee shop, the first time I popped into his work and asked his recommendation, he didn't warn me of the caffeine content. I was well habituated to caffeine, but quickly drinking 12 or 16 oz. of cold-brewed coffee left me feeling a bit dizzy, to the point I hung around the shop for a bit to make sure I was fine to drive.
I always post manually. Automated posts aren't in the spirit of the site. If we ever did add them, we'd use a different username.

It probably wouldn't make sense to automate anti-abuse-related posts, though, since then people would have a new vector through which to game them.

What good will teaming up with his neighbors do for that? It sounds like the local population has given up. Also for the police there are a few other things that could be of concern:

1. It's not a priority area to be fixed. (Police aren't doing much to address the crimes that have been commited)

2. The police aren't getting a lot of cooperation from witnesses ("don't snitch" which benefits gangs and gang retailiation.. again supporting the cycle of crime)

3. Is it the police are being held back from the region (that would be a corruption issue)

---

Anyways, police can fix the problem behavior instantly. Murders don't view their behavior as concerning. They tend not to have a lot of things stopping them on lessor crimes either. Programs take years to be fully affective. (If not decades)
The Times has actually been very progressive about WFH policies. Partially because they've been consolidating the number of floors they occupy at 620 8th Ave, so there's legitimately less room for everyone. But every team was designed to be remote friendly and there was very little expectation to be in the office. Some people lived in NYC and still refused to bother to come in for months at a time.

Wow. So basically they re-invented Xanax? :P

Joking aside, No way there is any chance that you would stick this in a human (huge potential for harm, no real clinical use case).

LSD is an insanely potent 5HT agonist, it seems highly unlikely any drug that is not "serious" would cause any significant reduction in LSD effects. Benzo's like Xanax can make the trip go in a direction that is less negative... but you are still tripping balls.
As a consumer, I have lost all confidence in facebook adverts. I see no shortage of scams with no real way to report them as a scam. One example was a series of adverts for a bike computer / light / alarm that was launched on kickstarter that I backed. I saw repeated adverts from various companies reporting to sell these devices for $15 to $20. I checked with the actual company who confirmed they were not real. Every time I blocked / reported the advert a few weeks later the same advice would reappear but a different seller.

Often adverts show you a great product sold for a third of what should be charged. If you buy they send you something worth a fraction of what you paid. If you pay they ask you to send it back for a full refund or they might offer to return some of the money. You need to pay for the return though. Facebook have these scams all over the place. I have lost all trust in the platform!

The important part is the "pending meaningful action" - end of July is the minimum timing, which can extend if no meaningful action is taken.
