Cut off their advertising in Hungary. They certainly started getting the message here when we did that.
Being in the service industry isn't great either. I was blown off many a time when the person I was otherwise hitting it off with found out I was a barista. I have literally been laughed at. I have a lot of pent up trauma about it.

These conspiracies are rampant in Europe too. Why didn't the stronger education system help here?
I work from home and have a disabled wife plus a 5 year old doing remote learning. I never leave the house except for needed things. Losing social media would isolate me even more.
You are referring to the things that people do that are a result of beliefs, not the beliefs themselves.

I've heard theories that the sensation of early human consciousness was akin to feeling enslaved to a higher power in one's head, as a sort of summary of that person's internal drives manifesting as God.

Who is to say these things would not have happened if humans simply skipped the 'internal voice equals god' conclusion?
Pensions are something they will have to pay. You can't just not pay into it and say you're now making a profit. That's how you end up with the situation in Illinois or California
Yeah, they do. Someone I barely hang out with anymore works at a company that is moving into the offices we're vacating and saw a picture of me on the wall. They messaged me on FB Messenger to say hello.

I really enjoy these chance interactions.
I agree with this but I think AWS could have designed the interface for IAM policies better. There are a lot of actions where the resource has to be “”. There are also many situations where the Principal is because you’re using Conditions to restrict the access (eg by the org id).

The resources are also “typed” despite the UI being json. This leads to confusion when a policy doesn’t work because the string in the resource is of the wrong type (eg S3 bucket vs S3 object). IAM happily lets you create the policy and there might be a small warning in the console that some of your policies somewhere have invalid resources for their actions but if you’re using CloudFormation you’ll never see those warnings. It begs for an automated linter that understands the type system and can fail your merge request or highlight the code in your IDE if the policy is invalid. AFAIK CFN-lint doesn’t do this but it certainly should.
I would suggest Crash, IMHO the best film on racism ever made.

In these boards it's not "5V tolerant". It's actual 5V I/O. EPF10K70. They are obsolete, and so the production part doesn't apply. Solely for hobby stuff.
Transportation costs are really not that high. Let's say that the farm is 2000km away from the city. Average freight cost per ton-km via truck is about 12 cents, so an additional $240/ton. Via rail it's about 3 cents, so an additional $60 per ton. CO2 emissions follow a similar ratio, about 97 grams per ton-km for trucks and 22 grams for rail, so between 44 and 194 kg CO2 per ton.

Growing a metric ton of wheat with 100% supplemental light requires 150,000-400,000 kwh. That's $3,000 to $8,000 in electricity costs at 2 cents per kwh (very cheap) and would require electricity to generate about a gram of CO2 per kwh at the most to be better in terms of CO2 emissions.

If you have free, non-polluting electricity it would be better to use it to synthesize fuel for trucks to carry grain from the fields, or to capture CO2 from the air.
I’m pretty sure my Dad has worked at the records facility where they are scanning that microfilm for almost 30 years now. He’s not an engineer but he actually helped with their assembly line and designed modifications to the fancy scanners they use. He’s always bragging about the huge amount of bandwidth they have. But last time I heard him talk about it they are still decades away from having all the information scanned and uploaded.
Probably, but I think that’s more to do with the typing convenience (which is even more puzzling in Python’s case since it isn’t statically typed).
I’m struggling to get your point about the U.K. 161 deaths below average for a week - if the trend holds for the remainder of the 22 weeks this year then that’s 3.5k deaths less which is dwarfed by the excess so far, so I can’t see that averaging out? Unless you’re point is something else?
Catholics and other religious groups do exactly that too, using 'god's wish' as their excuse.

Thank you for taking your time to do a review! The prescriptive tone ("you should") on datatypes page doesn't really match the intent of the reference documentation (i.e. to inform), I agree.

Even if 50 vs 6-8 contrast sounds off-putting and overly sensationalist, it doesn't mean that language is more complex than its mainstream cousins. For example:

ping @techdragon from http://www.rebol.com/docs/shell.html thread via hacker-news@techdragon.io

say: your HN account was created on 11-February-2013 and has 1455 karma points

Is a Red code (or rather data) containing 8 examples of unique datatypes (@reference, URL, e-mail, date and time, integer and flavors of symbols). One can even write a DSL that would understand it and send you a mail over SMTP or something.

I'd rather say "datatypes belong to 3-4 separate classes, each with a distinct yet simple semantics", and that "the set of their literal forms is diverse enough to count half a hundred exemplars; that makes the language simple, and the code written in it expressive". And then maybe build-up a motivation to study these classes ("to use Red effectively"), outline the studying path to take ("become familiar").

I don't follow Rust closely, is there any summary/takeaway of its history with documentation and community's lessons that I can read?
Some strategy I can think of: be the first to market, market yourself as the original creator, constant innovating, other people can copy but they can't control the updates and product roadmap, and you have the advantage of intimate knowledge of the product.

Another strategy is to create personalized custom solution. This would be hard to copy, unless you can copy the creator brain.
It is often assumed, including by several comments here, that membership in a group implies agreement with some or all of the content within the group. This is false and harmful. This faulty assumption can be used to exaggerate the popularity of niche beliefs, and ironically it may have self fulfilling effects - “can 200,000 people be wrong?”

In the physical world, where attending rallies or meetings costs time and physical effort, the assumption may be more valid. In the digital world, where group membership is almost costless, it fails.
Critical thinking skills immunize you against the disbelief of provable facts and rational thought processes (assuming reasonable mental health state). Emotional intelligence is a component though, for sure.

You need both the skills and the desire to seek the truth versus accepting whatever information galvanizes your preexisting belief and value systems. High hill to climb.
Bingo. It is not Facebook's responsibility to determine what is fact or fiction, and it is a bit terrifying that we increasingly rely on them (and other companies in this space) to do so.

People need to understand how to question, investigate, and challenge the sources of information they consume. If we can't do that, in the US or otherwise, then we are doomed.
In 2001, I was dating a girl long-distance. We'd emailed each other so often (and cellphones weren't really a thing yet) that I decided to make a web-based app for messaging ourselves.

It was a bespoke messaging system, essentially a forum that could only ever have exactly two users. The killer feature was the ability to see whether the other person had read the message you sent.

Plus, the page would auto-refresh and put "NEW" in the page's title, so it was really easy to see whether there were new messages. (I seem to recall the web-based email clients of the day hadn't yet started doing this, so it felt like I had stumbled on some huge innovation.)

My girlfriend loved it, and we became engaged later that year. Not that I'm necessarily implying causation here.

Over the years, I rewrote the system from scratch to evolve with my web development skills. It began in Perl. About a year later, I rewrote it in PHP.

Then, circa 2005, I rewrote it in Python/Django. It was one of the very first Django apps, as I did the conversion before Django was even open-sourced (I'm one of the original developers).

The system is still humming along today, with its main purpose at this point being a fun archive of all of our correspondence from the early days.
Who says it's stronger? It's OK at best. If you look at numbers, 200k people being in a group about some dumb thing from a country of >300mil people (I guess there are people from other countries as well) is not that much. Especially if you suppose that many of those are not seriously believing but just there for the laughs
The politifact article cites its sources, including https://about.usps.com/news/statements/080117.htm which says "By law our competitive package products, including those that we deliver for Amazon, must cover their costs."

This isn't exclusive to older people, either. Regardless, it will be even more dangerous when these people reproduce and raise their children to believe this stuff.
Facebook was responding to specific incidents from the specific people in that group.

Just because some members of a particular religious or social group do bad things, doesn't mean you should ban all members of that group. If it did, all of Facebook would have to shut down.

And while that might not be a bad thing - it's not the point in question here.
Yes, here... http://www.pixelbox.com/love
Why have you put yourself in that position? It’s trivial easy to avoid, even if your friends are scattered across the planet. If Facebook is a solitary lifeline for your social contacts, you need to dramatically reconsider your choices.
I'm not sure how either of those support your point about the term toxic masculinity. I claimed, "he has said he doesn't believe in the term toxic masculinity".

In your first link, he is asked, "We hear the term “toxic masculinity” a lot these days. As someone who writes a lot about manhood, what does it mean to you?". He answers, "Oh boy, I’m not sure if I really believe in it".

Sounds to me like he doesn't believe in the term toxic masculinity.

In your Huffington Post link, the interviewer claims "It’s a book about consumerism, and an expressive, violent response to the cold fact of it. It’s also a book about toxic masculinity, even if its author never deigns to expressly critique or uphold controlled violence". I don't know why we would consider the interviewer the authority on the text in question here. Here is Palahniuk's take in the same interview:

Q: Would you say Fight Club is more of a critique of violent masculinity, a celebration of it, or both?

A: Boy. I wouldn’t say it’s a critique. I think that because it’s consensual, it’s OK. It’s a mutually agreed-upon thing which people can discover their ability to sustain violence or survive violence as well as their ability to inflict it. So, in a way, it’s kind of a mutually agreed-upon therapy. I don’t see it as condoning violence ― because in the story it is consensual ― or as ridiculing it, because in this case it does have a use.

Thanks for the HuffPo link though, here is another quote where he gives what he thinks the message of Fight Club is that seems to be in agreement with the other ones I read, "The central message of Fight Club was always about the empowerment of the individual through small, escalating challenges". It also has this quote about killing the father, "In a way, it’s like everyone rebelling against dad, and discovering their own power by killing the father, as the Buddhists would say". I've seen interpretations of Fight Club as a Buddhist allegory (https://web.archive.org/web/20090423020258/http://www.unomah...), interesting to hear him bring that up.

and literally any 10 year old android phone can run not just the latest security patches but even the latest android. you are taking the iphone limitation of 'os must be from hardware manufacturer' and for some reason applying it to android phones.

my 10 year old motorola nexus is running android 10 -which is the current version. you install the new os on android by downloading an app, which installs the new os on reboot. it takes 15 minutes, and gramma can do it.

next you'll tell me mac laptops are better because you can't put windows 10 on your old hp laptop, because hp's system image for it only goes to windows 7.
How come they deleted a group, then? They should've only banned the offending members.

Exactly. Day traders generally say "Don't fall in love with your shares" and he very clearly did. I don't think it is Robin Hood's duty hold customers' hands and influence their strategies, and it probably isn't even legal for them to do so. That duty belongs to a financial advisor. You probably don't even need a financial advisor to know when its time to sell some of the shares to put money into other companies that'll hopefully be on the rise. The increases he claims to have had is as clear a sign as any.

Besides, I think all the information he complains wasn't available to him is right here: https://learn.robinhood.com. If he thought that was too boring or complicated to run through, then it is only his fault. If investing was as easy as he was treating it, Warren Buffet would be the average.
I made a pink heart with an FPGA for my girlfriend who had a VGA/VHDL assignment. Having only limited knowledge as a CS 2nd year student, I wrote hundreds of ifs to generate it but at least I generated those ifs by Java, wasting a lot of computing units (or something?). She liked it though.

QuickLogic (EOS S3) do actively contribute to the open stack (to support their own FPGA series) themselves.

https://www.crowdsupply.com/quicklogic/quickfeather

OTOH, while not actively contributing, Lattice (iCE40, ECP5) are aware and do tolerate the open stack.

They reversed some new terms of use recently (stating it was a mistake), when the community realized they had added some clauses against reverse engineering and made a lot of noise about it. It means they are aware of the positive effect the open stack has provided from a marketing standpoint.
Grave of the Fireflies is a devastating and a timeless tail. Even the most jaded viewer, immune both to sentimental schmaltz and posturing brutality in cinema, finds their resistance slipping away as they watch. Many cite it as one of the most beautiful and devastating films they’ve seen, and it has become something of a cliché to say it’s a film you cherish and never want to see a second time because of its impact.
If they're not breaking the rules why report them?

The question nobody's asking: WHY are people so dissatisfied with the conventional truth that they feel the need to seek out any alternative?
> whether it's true or not is irrelevant.

For people who actually believe in conspiracy theories this is not at all true. And there are some religious people who might think this way, but I would guess it's a small minority.
Facebook should teach people how to do that.
The double edged sword here is groupthink. If you are trying to have a discourse about being gay in a social network comprised of people from Saudi Arabia, they might flag your very loving and helpful posts as being hostile. Thus banning you from their network.

In the end, I think it would result in even tighter bubbles where all information we find uncomfortable is eventually filtered away.

I think a better angle would be to figure out how to create an environment that encourages open mindedness and willingness to let others be themselves without forcing anyone into our own views. Easier said than done, I know.
There’s a long history of this issue in the US. If interested, in 1964, Richard Hofstadter wrote about this in detail in his book, “The Paranoid Style in American Politics”.

That’s nonsense.

> As for your red herring, I can only guess how mal-scans can be monetized. If anyone can do it, I have no doubt Goog will.

Well yes, they're very clearly monetized: Google supplies a email service which it sells to businesses as part of GSuite. One of the selling points of this email service is spam protection. Is that a bad thing?

> You use PII to create whatever product(s) you sell to 3rds.

Ok, so if your concern is that a company has your PII, that's a concern I guess. But it makes it difficult to use the internet (or, like, shop at stores), since there are all kinds of companies that gobble up your PII but don't tell you or give you control over it (whereas Google does, for example, let you delete the data it has on you and control collection of much of the data it collects).

If you're going to argue that Google is bad for the same reason that your credit card company and Amazon and CVS are bad, then sure they all have your PII, but I'd still argue that Google behaves more ethically than the others when dealing with it.
Especially handy if you don't know the number of the person you need to contact or know their device has been compromised. No need to rely on technology when a simple trick will do the... erm, trick.

>> we've decided that having infra teams manage hundreds or thousands of lines of not-very-human-readable JSON across all the IAM resources they manage is the proper way to do things.

This is exactly why with few of my friends started to work on a tool that uses a typed language to express IaC. We can leverage and or relations for AWS objects. One quick example. S3 resource is PublicWebsite or ForwardOnly or PrivateBucket. The individual resources then have a bunch of mandatory properties (using and relationship between them). It is much easier to read and we have reduced the number of lines of code that we need to grasp to understand a service significantly. It is also possible to remove options that you do not want to give to developers at all (for example PublicWebsite is not a required option for most teams using S3). I really liked Terraform at the beginning when I thought they are going to improve significantly over the years but it did not happen. Instead they went down the same rabbit hole many other projects, lets invent a new language to express Iac. We do not need one. ML languages are perfectly capable to capture IaC and those languages are perfect fit while HCL lacks basic expressive power resulting in seggfaults/exceptions left and right. I still remember the first time we accidentally set both forward all requests to and website for an S3 bucket and we had to debug why Terraform just crashes with a meaningless error message. Imagine when you are trying to do something security related with such a tool. Not fun.
Thanks both! This was really helpful, found a few free reports already with this method
One good tip I got to rubber duck debug without another human was to write your questions / explanations in an email or a chat.

I found that indeed, writing an email explaining a problem to a colleague was helpful to solve it despite me never sending the email.
You seem to be suffering from magical thinking.

Where does this blob come from, how is it that it can exist when you haven't written the code yet?

I know that the Internet makes it seem as if data access is automatic and magic; however, fundamentally, computing is a physical process. Bits don't shuffle by magic, and they can't even be targeted for download to avoid compiling before compiling and checking the result against some sort of sample or list for whether or not the chunk of code already exists. No avoidance of compilation achieved.

Compilation/interpretation is not something you're ever going to make go away unless you like programming with straight 0's and 1's.
It is not fair to compare most religions to conspiracy theories. As a Catholic, I don't believe that the devil is behind everything wrong in the world, and I'm sure most rational people feel the same way.

One of the biggest problems I have with conspiracy theories is that nothing can be trusted because there's always something corrupt behind it all. I believe the United States' biggest challenge right now is the lack of trust of our most fundamental institutions like the CDC and the law. I think the lack of faith is due to people in trusted positions believing and promoting some of these crazy theories.
