Apple App Store: Now accepting "Offer Codes"
Of NET, some small trials by fringe researchers have been conducted [1] (or just planned [2]), but none has had much impact.

This 2017 study [3] seemed to find promising results:

Changes in cerebellar functional connectivity and autonomic regulation in cancer patients treated with the Neuro Emotional Technique for traumatic stress symptoms

...

Results: The results demonstrated significant changes in the NET group, as compared to the control group, in the functional connectivity between the cerebellum (including the vermis) and the amygdala, parahippocampus, and brain stem. Likewise, participants receiving the NET intervention had significant reductions in autonomic reactivity based on heart rate response to the traumatic stimulus compared to the control group.

That result seems to warrant further research, but I can't see it happening at any significant scale.

I've thought/read at length about the state of research into these kinds of modalities, and have concluded that it doesn't and won't happen at scale, due to a combination of these reasons:

- The cost/effort to run a large, controlled trial, including longitudinal research (you'd really need to monitor people over at least 5, but ideally 10+ years to get the best results) would be huge.

- No body with the resources to conduct such a trial is sufficiently motivated to do so, as there's no drug discovery or other outcome that can yield billions of dollars in revenues.

- The chiropractic profession exists at the fringes of medical practice (for generally valid reasons) and is too "hot" for any government or major research institution to want to touch.

The same goes for the work of the researchers I mentioned in other comments; Gabor Maté, Stan/Christina Grof, Peter Levine, Bruce Lipton and others. They've done plenty of qualitative research through their careers, and have written many papers and built solid careers as writers and seminar speakers for sizeable-but-still-niche audiences (of mostly very privileged people with plenty of spare time and money to devote to this kind of healing work). But parlaying that into large-scale studies just never seems feasible, no matter how compelling their findings.

But I think it's profoundly important work, as I'm sure it has the potential to transform the existing psychology/psychiatry fields, so, who knows, maybe something will click one day to make something happen.

You’re taking it too literally. It’s not about physical strength, it’s about cultural and societal strength and fortitude.
Thinking about it a bit more it could be like the PICO-8 mentioned elsewhere ITT but instead of a PNG the QR fantasy console would work by loading programs from QR and initializing the display with the QR visual itself and then the code from the QR is exectuted and is able to access the “video memory” to read in the starting state and then you can play a game where you consume the QR visuals for example with snake. Probably needs to make the snake colored so that you can tell eatable QR visuals apart from your snake. Other games include Breakout and perhaps Pong. Frogger. Etc etc

It amazes me that people who are supposed to have studied business and marketing continually throw the long term health of their company/industry under the bus to satisfy the short term revenue stream.

Music makes its revenue by propagating itself into the cultural zeitgeist. Attempts to limit consumption of music runs counter to that business model if you ask me.

This situation also reminds me of another common shortsighted trend: sports teams moving their broadcasting to paid cable networks.

Sports at some point depends on the social network effects of fandom. By restricting viewership with paywalls and cable subscriptions, they’re alienating young fans from ever becoming fans. They’re shrinking the sports fan base from appealing to everyone to being yet another exclusive niche where you're either deep into it or you’re out.

If I don’t have any of my real life friends taking interest in sports, so many of the benefits of being a fan disappear.

Annoying, nonsensical restrictions like only being allowed to watch out of market games with online streaming subscriptions, only being able to buy NFL Sunday Ticket through DirecTV...this stuff is insane.

You may not be aware: no joke, DirecTV won’t sell you the Internet version of NFL Sunday Ticket unless you live in a multi-unit residence. In other words, you have to be verified to not be able to be sold a physical dish to attach to your home to be allowed the privilege of spending $300 to watch a bunch of games that already have more advertising than gameplay.

These sports teams will eventually find themselves in a situation where they have to squeeze more revenue from a shrinking, aging customer base. If you were 15 right now and had a choice between watching 18 minutes of NFL gameplay surrounded by 2 hours of ads and stoppage, or jumping on Fortnite with your friends, which would you choose? These sports networks can’t fathom that they’re competing with more and more entertainment options as time goes on.

The tl;dr of this is that you need to give your customers what they want.
What are they supposed to say? We would go against the local laws of a country if we think they violate human rights?
That's what the treaty says. That's correct, and I'm fully aware of that.

First of all, my response is indeed within the context of Fair Use as the example given was background music in a Zoom call.

Second, a big crux is in the part between parentheses which you didn't include:

> (with the possibility that a Contracting State may permit, in certain special cases, reproduction without authorization, provided that the reproduction does not conflict with the normal exploitation of the work and does not unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests of the author; and the possibility that a Contracting State may provide, in the case of sound recordings of musical works, for a right to equitable remuneration)

The Berne Treaty is a framework of first principles. But the legal reality is shaped by how this treaty is then codified in supra-national and national laws. And finally how those laws then get enacted in civil cases within the applicable legal system depending on where you are.

For instance, Freedom of Panorama:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_panorama

Another example that limits the application of copyright all together is the Treshold of Originality, which of course comes with it's own opposite doctrines of thought:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threshold_of_originality

Finally, Fair Use and Fair Dealing pertains to vast economic domains such as education, press and research. Why does Fair Use exist? Because lawmakers have conceded over time that a strict definition of copyright can't be practically upheld anyway. The application of Fair Use is far from a "confusing" fringe exception in the real world.

Your point would be valid if copyright was implemented straight up by it's first principles with zero exceptions. But that's not how the legal framework has evolved and gets implemented in the real world today.

Hence why I prefaced with "I totally follow you on copyright reform".
> Also I think C plays an important pedagogical role. When writing C you learn a lot about what a computer actually does, whereas with Rust you're working with an abstract system.

That has not been true in decades, if ever. C is very much defined in terms of an abstract machine, and the behaviour of C is not that of the underlying assembly, which itself is an abstraction over the µops which actually tell the hardware how to work.

>Between June 18 and Aug 3, 2020, 76 healthy adults were enrolled to the two studies from the volunteer register (figure 1).

>43 adults were selected at the beginning of each study from the volunteer registry; 38 participants were included in each study and five people were kept as backup volunteers in case of dropouts (two for phase 1 and three for phase 2).

>Nine participants in each study received rAd26-S in phase 1, nine received rAd5-S in phase 1, and 20 received sequential injections of rAd26-S (on day 0) and rAd5-S (on day 21) in phase 2. All volunteers in the main group were analysed and additional volunteers from the backup groups were not needed.

>Thus, in each study, 38 volunteers were vaccinated. More men than women took part in the study (table 1).

is it fair to note this is a pretty small sample?

I completely agree! I do find however that if you read the author's arguments they are not entirely baseless and in many cases are quite relevant to the isolated work from home environment that we face today. The problems offered by the author are well known and interesting however his solutions I disagree with
So It's basically like the blood sugar testers diabetics use, except they want you to buy a new reader with every strip.

There is now an opportunity for one of the manufacturers of pregnancy tests to make a reusable reader. The add could be like "We know you're going to test more than once, we won't force you to buy a reader every time." or "instead of asking the strangers if they see a line (cut to forum posts of tests)
, let {product name} be your second opinion" Or even "Don't wait until you've missing your period, test every week for an entire year for less than the cost of 3 of the competitors digital tests"

Once you get big you change your priorities. There is no reason the same can't happen to hacker news either. If they start allowing low quality shitpost. Right now I assume with the amount of traffic here, it doesn't cost lot of money to maintain this site. But the same for Reddit is different.

Reddit on its barely makes any profit and had made losses for a number of years. Right now they are too big to pull Digg and not suffer any major consequences.

You also need to take into account that Reddit and Imgur had a symbiotic relationship for this type of stuff for many years. Reddit has always had meme posts, but it was through imgur for the longest time. Those posts were often the start of our most enduring memes. More recently that whole scene has been dumbed down to the lowest common denominator set by Facebook and others.
But the performance doesn't have to be bad. If infinite scrolling is a problem, then either don't do it, or use a better implementation.

Piracy historically referred to illicit printed copies created for unauthorized unlicensed material benefit to the copier, without demanded licensing terms or in absence of negotiations toward such licensing. The copyright lobby ensured it broadened to cover digital reproductions on shaky epistemological grounds imo.

I agree that it's a question of type: what would you call that type though?

I propose "pun" - proportion of unity, or "p(er) un".
I realise this is a review, not the actual text. But still. This is utter bollocks.

It's typical of non-technical "intellectuals" to completely ignore the main areas of modern human progress, simply because they don't understand them.

e.g. the whole discussion on Art completely ignores Video Games, which are undoubtedly Art, and also an area of rapid innovation and development. Yet they're usually dismissed out of hand because no-one who takes "Art" seriously plays them or understands them.

The whole "we went to the moon and never went back" completely ignores the argument that the moon landing was, right from the start, an uneconomical publicity stunt. The exciting time is now, when space is starting to become economically viable and we have organisations making viable plans to colonise Mars.

The Internet is taken for granted as a method of "chatting", and smartphones as a method of "taking selfies". Again, because the author doesn't understand what vast and wide-reaching achievements these are. Watching a Cambodian tuk-tuk driver watch a YouTube English lesson while parked up waiting for a fare is a modern marvel. Bringing communication and the spread of knowledge to anyone who wants it, wherever they are, is the most important thing to happen to humanity since the invention of agriculture. And yes, it's as disruptive to human societies as agriculture: we should expect our societies to be disturbed by it.

The economic malaise is mostly a result of WW2. Europe was economically destroyed, and the US changed its entire economy to meet the demand (and the USSR moved its entire manufacturing base a thousand miles east in a year, an astounding thing to do). Recovering from that meant that growth was easy because it was coming from such a low base. We've hit the final point of that recovery, and growth isn't so easy any more.

Not everything is perfect. There are some changes we need to make. But please let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. And to anyone writing about modern society: if you don't understand technology, please stop fucking writing about it.
> Examples where the subreddit is the best source of open discussion on the internet for that niche: dota2, manga, soccer, metal, prog, civilized discourse, history, male fashion (kinda), calisthenics, small cities, fantasy fiction, niche YT channels, super authentic cooking....and that's just for me.

With the risk of sounding elitist, for some of those topics the main subreddit is overran with pointless and repetitive memes. You'd have to go to the r/true* subreddit to get the serious, in depth discussions.

Totally agree, I went through some of the code in his GitHub repo and it’s a joy to read through, making it clear what everything is for, how and why it works, which is rare especially for plain C.

I try to comment my code in a similar way, often ending up with up to 30% comment to code ratio. I know some (many?) people are very dismissive of this style and reject the idea you have to write any comments where the code is ‘self explanatory’, but I don’t care. It doesn’t take me a lot of extra time to document the general idea behind a piece of code and it makes my future life and that of other devs reading the code so much easier it’s easily worth the effort to write these comments and keep them up to date.

Like I said it’s rare to see OSS code written that way though, I’ve even thought on multiple occasions that some projects actively strip all code comments automatically for whatever reason, considering the total absence of any form of code documentation in them.
It has no relation to comments.
Yes I mean this will always be true unless you work with raw machine code. The point is the C abstraction is lower level: give me memory, write to memory etc. where with Rust you’re moreso interacting with the compiler in a declarative way

We are really arguing unimportant semantics here but I don't agree with you, when you say 50% of the population, you are saying 0.5 of the population or 0.5 of 100M. The 50% always represents 0.5 when used correctly, in fact the % sign is a different way of writing "/100" (with some artistic freedoms).
I would have said that Zig is for Rust like C is for C++. But I would be wrong. Zig has all the power of C++, but it doesn't hide anything from you, it is not as complex as C++ and it is unsafe. In the future, probably Zig will be the choice for things that require lots of unsafe components and Rust otherwise. There was also an article about this in which the author said that "unsafe zig is safer than unsafe rust".[1]
Moreover, I am also interested in F*, the ability to generate efficient C, ASM and WASM code from it looks promising.

Yes, a bunch of times. I was one of those people that kept testing positive for a few months after I got better. First tested positive in mid march, and then tested positive through May 1st at which point I just stopped doing it b/c everybody (read: doctors) thought I was fine. Finally tested negative mid July.

Specter is fantastic. It makes transformations on deeply nested data structures easy. Want to transform all the "datetimes" from JSON data into actual datetimes (or vice versa)? It takes about five minutes if you have to look everything up. Works with ClojureScript too.

Some production code:

(defn transform-tagged-values [x]
(sp/transform (sp/walker tr/tagged-value?) tagged-value->cljs x))

Give it a predicate for which values to transform, and a function to do the transformation. Couldn't be easier.
