Please this your angle is wrong. His firm was in a motorbike taxi-like business. And it was not across the nation because some states had already banned such business a decade before his came onboard. His was limited to Lagos area and was also knocked of business some months ago because of inherent risk associated with it.

It is too early to make unguarded and careless statements in this issue. Let's wait for investigation.
See TikTok [1] as an example. The idea is to mix in different content. Making the goal not to match perfectly but to match different topics.

It might be a descriptor of a state but it does not explain the cause. The argument here is against the notion that depression is caused by chemical imbalance.
I use separate private lists and only visit them instead of home page. No content pushing from Twitter, so far.
Have you been allergy tested? I found out last year (midway into my 30s) that I'm actually allergic to half the foods my mom used to prepare for me. Like tomatoes/nightshade fruits. I would always get itchy, confused and generally feel inflamed and terrible and my mom made me tons and tons of spaghetti as a kid. I had constant GI issues in school and did pretty poorly, bad memory, etc.

Prior to allergy testing I got really obsessed and into probiotics, lifehacking etc just to make myself feel better and I feel like nothing really helped my GI problems which always feel like they're sapping the energy out of my entire body. Turns out a huge portion of my problems were food allergies.

I haven't gone full FODMAPS but I eat much more keto/paleo nowadays when I can (I've been loose since quarantine) and feel so much better when I do. Meat and lettuce is my prime meal now.
I use alternative applications. Tweetdeck on desktop and Flamingo for android. Among other things, they can view my follows in chronological order with no algorithm nonsense.
I only read twitter through garbage news sites. Yesterday was almost interesting. Mostly because I remember getting chain mail "from bill gates" claiming that he'd enrich me for passing it on, back in the late 90s. Didn't fall for it then; had to educate grandma. But bitcoin users are that un-savvy today? Time to make popcorn.
even old folks don't like SOAP or WSDL. They were turkeys when they were released, and now they're just old turkeys.

(I developed pyGridware, which was based on SOAP and WSDL. It took hundreds of lines of code just to build Echo Hello World.
An anecdote is not evidence of anything.
>I remember reading somewhere that Chris Lattner said his goal with Swift was "Total World Domination"

I think it was ATP Podcast

https://atp.fm/205

But if you are listening to ATP most of the guest and host aren't really liking swift at all. And prefer to stick to Objective-C for as long as they could.

In someway I could understand that, Swift all of a sudden has 10x increase in complexity compared to Objective-C.
Without getting into a lot of detail I don't see this being very useful. First off it only works on wires suspended via pin or post insulators on cross arms. There are plenty of other suspension methods used for MV distribution so good luck accommodating them. Most runs are normally interrupted by strain insulator sets on poles containing switch gear or poles that make sharp turns. It also needs to accommodate a wide variety of insulator designs which have varied over the years. Some are tall and narrow, some are short and mushroom shaped. Some have clamps at the top, some are tied with wire.

Any intervention with the robot also requires a highly trained and certified linesman crew to manipulate the thing on a live conductor with a potential upward of 34.5kV line to line. So if the robot gets stuck or breaks down you need a trained crew to handle it. And how easy is it to repair a broken fiber on a downed power line?

This looks like another solar roadways.
Is this undergrad? Genuinely curious, how will you get someone to understand what ownership helps avoid without them having experienced the pain on the other side?

I guess with younger and younger kids learning programming these, may be there can handle more? I am not sure if my son would understand all of the intricacies in his first semester.
I agree. Got sick of the pushing.

Switched to going to the source, skipping social media which is just “Mechanical Turk for dumb shit”.

Discord/Slack groups for projects that have them.

Email is working great for connecting to academics and open source communities that don’t give a shit about Slack.

Twitter and Facebook seem anachronistic and archaic to me. If I wanted to know what the average American thinks about daily life right now, I’ll write in my journal or ask my neighbor.
Let’s say no context, which one would you recommend reading first?
This is great, thank you! Installed!
I would guess that most unemployed people don't have money in individual stocks in the market. In fact, 85% of all stock is owned by the richest 10% of Americans.

While it is true that a slim majority of Americans have some stock, the vast majority of that is in retirement plans, not brokerage accounts.
The problem isn't that Blue Check marks are polarizing. The problem is that there are lots of communities on twitter - gamers, scientists, tech, conservative, bernie. The problem is that accounts with a large number of followers will necessarily have followers who come from lots of different communities. It's when these communities come into contact with each other that fights happen. That's the mechanism for the creation of drama on twitter, it's two groups that come from fundamentally different bubbles intersecting.
Verified accounts would just create a secondary accounts and ask people to follow them too.
IBM stopped working on their own framework Kitura. Vapor has become the dominant framework since then and Apple is still investing more in making server-side Swift better. I have heard rumors that Netflix is running some services using server-side Swift, obviously unconfirmed.
Fun fact: all six personas had beekeeping Youtube videos suggested to them.

More seriously, I wonder if one could determine the "strength" of a bubble's wall and then check that against the expected time spent online by a group.
I've always been a big believer that during review time, people should be able to choose others they've worked with to review. It need not be a full on performance review, but at least provide the opportunity to provide documented feedback to their boss.

I've worked with people from other departments who were both awful and wonderful, and if their bosses didn't include me in their set of peer reviewers, I couldn't highlight that. I think my cross-departmental peer review would've been much more valuable than some of my reviews of some of my teammates, since my boss already had a pretty good idea of how we work together.
At the ODSC presentation I went to last year where the team presented they actually used a vision problem as their canonical example. It's hard to grasp without a concrete example, but it makes a lot of sense the way they explained it.

For example, lets assume you want to identify something like a lung tumor. So you have many MRI images and they're all largely the same template of image. Using traditional image processing software like open CV, it's suprisingly easy to do more coarse grained tasks programmatically, like say, search this image for any circle that's brighter than the surrounding tissue and has a radius greater than say x.yz mm. If you find one, that function returns True if not False. That x.yz mm number is what you get from your radiologists that you work with to help you develop the labeling functions and this is just _one_ of the labeling functions. But basically it turns out if you construct a few of these functions with the help of domain experts and then use those functions all together with the information theory research the Snorkel folks do, you get pretty damn good performance!
IMHO, it's a shame So Much time has been spent (~3 years ?) on async at the cost of basic features like multipart and CORS.

But I understand it could be more fun for the devs :-)
Yeah, a bigger, longer, better funded trial would be better. But we can still learn some things from this. I actually get a bit frustrated at all the too small/short/low-amount payment studies out there. But c'est la vie.
'but good employees imho can work with noise around them, with distractions, with changing priorities etc'

Yes, then they burn out and the cycle continues ...
Latest definitely is the only true way to use Twitter. Does anyone really need to see what other people you follow have liked or replied to? If they wanted me to see they would have retweeted.
But I don't think that it has _anything_ to do with the individual programmers inherently understanding performance better.

There is likely a huge organizational focus on performance and more people expressly dedicated to the task because it is a higher priority for Epic. It is directly correlated to Epic's ability to deliver a successful product to game companies, whereas for browsers it is slightly more orthogonal to their success.

LLVM has a bunch of contributors who likely understand the intricacies of machine code better than either of us, and:

> Each LLVM release is a few percent slower than the last.

> The larger problem is that LLVM simply does not track compile-time regressions. While LNT tracks run-time performance over time, the same is not being done for compile-time or memory usage. The end result is that patches introduce unintentional compile-time regressions that go unnoticed, and can no longer be easily identified by the time the next release rolls out.

Exactly this. CNN and FoxNews openly describe themselves as activist agenda driven organizations.

That's not journalism, at all.
This is very consistent with what I've seen of AWS. Engineers have had to jump through many hoops to look at my account even when I've reported a bug and ask them to look at my account.
Flushing cookies, and watching specific videos in a private tab.

If you want to see a "default" youtube homepage for your IP's location, incognito is enough.

Google isn't brazen enough to show you recommendations without cookies, despite them being capable of tying your sessions together.

I don't use the app on iOS. If you need higher than 720p playback for a video you can request desktop site.
Another thing: to assert that biological systems are just machines is to subscribe to the same error which allows creationists or intelligent design people to put forward the argument that we ought to take the complexity of life as evidence of a designer. It conflates two totally different phenomena by observing a superficial similarity between the two and ignoring all of their manifold and salient differences.
No true Scotsman.

This is just a bad faith argument because you happen to agree with the activism in left-leaning journalism.

Ends justify the means, right?
> There should be a class in the every high schools history department the explains propaganda and gossip.

It wouldn't help. Facebook and other social media outlets are geared to giving you more of what you click. Happen to click a few far Z-Wing posts? You'll get more. Once a pattern develops they feed you what you click most so that you'll stay engaged. No amount of high schooling will prepare people for that. The _only_ way to fight it is to actively disengage.
I don't think that's necessarily a real dichotomy. Lots of the issues around being able to implement AP are not "it has to be complicated", but "there is no consistent specification that matches what practical implementations do". It's fairly frustrating to implement something that looks ok and then have to go around and figure out what implicit assumptions Mastodon et al make that you didn't know about.
Does Objective-C have a 1st party open-source runtime, and Linux and Windows targets in the main CI pipeline?
You can actually purchase MV/HV cables with fiber optic built right into it - There's a few power companies in Canada that have built their infrastructure such that they can also provide fiber optic internet service to communities up north who otherwise wouldn't have internet access.

>I think a bigger problem is that people are fixated on word definitions and offending others instead of solving problems.

I agree, and this is pretty much unavoidable when the current clinical term is vague enough to be used as a generic insult.

The general pattern I see

1. A vague term is used to describe symptoms of an issue we have a poor understanding of.

2. That term becomes associated with the symptoms, but is vague enough to be used as a generic insult (ex: playground school children yelling it at each other)

3. That term develops a stigma as an insult, and becomes more and more controversial

4. That term is replaced with a new term, rinse and repeat.

We've seen this before
ex: Moron, Imbecile, and Retard all once had vague clinical meanings.

Then we went to mentally challenged, special needs, etc. Now even those are fairly loaded terms.

In all of these cases, the word/phrase describes something that people would rather not have or be, but it does it without clarity.

It will develop a stigma.

I find the folks who constantly advocate for changing these names well-intentioned, but basically a waste of time.
I didn't mention the BBC in the comment you're replying to at all, I was talking about Ofcom impartiality regulations which are a separate thing that all TV broadcasters need to mind when reporting the news.

I think you might need to learn a little more about this topic. As for the BBC, many of us here think the BBC lean left and are biased against the right-wing government for example.
As long as they only spy without actually disrupting the whole process, I don't really perceive it as a bad action from the ethical point of view. Legally, of course, it's a completely different issue.
> as public security is seen as a role of the police

In the US police have no duty to prevent crime, also the gas station is private property not public and police are not considered public security. In short just like slip and fall cases in The US, businesses owe a duty to invitees to remove foreseeable dangers such as a slippery surface (in the case of a slip and fall) or a suspicious person loitering on premises for 2 hours. They also owed a duty to preserve the video evidence but they destroyed that as well.

I have a hard time believing in Poland a business might allow a rapist to just hang out on the property and identify potential victims all while a security guard is standing by that does nothing. That said laws wildly vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction
As a counter point, I was on prozac (fluoxetine) for about a year after being diagnosed with major depression. Everything seemed better at first, but my personality changed in a way that, when I looked at it objectively, I did not like and eventually I felt as though the drug was merely masking depression that never actually went away.

My personal opinion having talked to doctors, therapists, and other depression sufferers is that the medical industry's treatment of depression is basically just throwing darts and hoping. They only kinda have a rough idea of how to treat some of the symptoms of depression and care not for any potential underlying causes. The "chemical imbalance" language, in my considered opinion, really does enforce this world view that depression is something you just throw drugs at until you're fixed, and I don't think that's helpful.

The more industries that Facebook can get their grubby claws into, the more they can control them.
One thing I've noticed is that the app periodically switches my preference from "Latest tweets" back to "Top tweets". I'm not sure if it's just a bug, but I wouldn't be surprised if that behavior was intentional.
A CEO getting many times richer, even minus his worth in shares, is still the truth.

No "normal"employee/worker is achieving that. And he's working equally hard.

I think saying that other jobs are worse and amazons are so great so people should shut up and be happy is the wrong idea.

Instead we should strive to make all jobs better and when jobs are shit no one should be forced to do them. That's a goal humanity should achieve.

Yeah you're right but staring at 30 second clips of better lives than your selected by algorithm to bias your mind in some way to perpetuate either the existence of the platform or the product being sold is part of the downward spiral. At some point it becomes compulsion rather than choice. That's mental slavery by shitting in your head and I will judge that with extreme prejudice.
I keep seeing more and more news about Rust, and figure that perhaps it is time that I learn something new.

99% of my development work these days is C with the target being Linux/ARM with a small-ish memory model. Think 64 or 128MB of DDR. Does this fit within Rust's world?

I've noticed that stripped binary sizes for a simple "Hello, World!" example are significantly larger with Rust. Is this just the way things are and the "cost of protection"? For reference, using rustc version 1.41.0, the stripped binary was 199KiB and the same thing in C (gcc 9.3) was 15KiB.
one way i found to make sure my timeline is always on "latest" mode is by creating a private list and adding all my follows to it.

Youtube-dl doesn't have your Google account cookie, so Youtube doesn't know it is you.

You can achieve the same effect by logging out Google account in your browser.
I don't think it is though. For example, one of the things we know is that IBS can cause depression/anxiety (or perhaps more accurately, people with IBS are more likely to have depression/anxiety).

In this case chemical imbalance would be objectively wrong. Their brain is being affected by another part of the body entirely, but you would have doctors selectively treating the symptoms (the 'chemical imbalance') rather than the cause.
I was reading a book this morning about mushroom foraging and suddenly realized that I hadn't seen an advert in quite some time because it was a book and not my phone. Then I thought about getting rid of my phone and only reading books from now on. Now I'm posting this on my phone. It's quite annoying how terrible the internet is now. I used to feel comfortable having a conversation in a forum without thinking it was all generated from some AstroTurfing nonsense or would be used to send me highly personalized ads.

I've written several comments about this topic on HN before, but here goes again.

I've had a lot of mild/moderate anxiety and depression since early in life, and whilst it's never been severe enough for me to be at risk of doing harm to myself or others, it has been a major complication in achieving good outcomes (i.e., always showed some promise and early success at intellectual, sporting and social pursuits, but could never hold it together enough emotionally to get sustained results.)

At times of particular seriousness, medication provided some relief; mostly SSRIs (sertraline/Zoloft), which I've taken in low doses for a total of about 3 years, and occasional valium for acute anxiety. But whilst these medicines made life more bearable, they never made life feel "normal" or felt like any kind of complete solution.

Part of the issue I guess was that I had a really strong feeling that what I was experiencing wasn't a biological malfunction or predetermined trait. I guess I knew that from the fact that I'd been able to do quite well at things, and feel quite happy, at least some of the time, throughout my life. It didn't make sense that I'd be biologically programmed to be well-functioning some of the time, but not at others.

After a long search I discovered deep subconscious emotional healing techniques, that enabled me to connect with the programmed reactions and beliefs that I'd picked up from some unpleasant early life experiences, that had snowballed as I progressed through life.

I've been undertaking various forms of these kinds of practices for about 8 years now, and bit by bit the anxiety and depression has dissipated, and my life outcomes (career/finances, friendships/relationships and physiological health) have steadily improved and are now doing so at an accelerating rate (though of course there are still ups and downs, with or without macro events like pandemics).

As I look around at all the unrest and widespread mental "illness" in the world, I can easily see links to the distress that so many people feel for all kinds of different specific reasons, but that often boil down to similar patterns: difficulties in childhood (feeling unsafe/unloved/undernourished at home), leading to difficulties getting good social and/or academic outcomes in school, leading to difficulties as people progress into adulthood and try to establish careers, social networks and romantic relationships in a world that can be very hostile to people who don't tick certain boxes.

I'm now quite convinced that the mainstream psychopharmacology industry is a failing effort to paper over the gaping hole in modern society's ability to provide people with the nurturing, confidence and agency needed to build satisfying lives.

From my own experience I'm sure things can be much better, but it will take a major rethink about much of the way we go about supporting people on their life journeys.
twitter is not mirror, it is another stage controlled by political actors who use it in a circular means to support stories pushed through other media, especially the news.

People bemoan corporate influence over the internet but completely ignore the fact the political parties exercise even far more influence because unlike a business they have sycophants within many organizations and it all is directed as a whole. the anger in today's society is nearly all generated by these groups which control so much of the media and social sites that you cannot avoid it. they poison every conversation so when they go missing it can be deafening
What are the odds of it launching just after TikTok gets banned? I wonder if Facebook has turned into the social media version of the US dollar to the US government, it is just too valuable, all this information. They have a defacto monopoly on social media around the world and they're not going to let it go, even if force needs to be used (in this case banning the competition).
Me neither :) It shows the true nature of some people on here.
