The evil is in how you use the data.

And of course, if you share the data with a third party (that includes if you use their services to collect or process the data), you should logically assume the worst.

I would probably be okay to share all kinds of data with the websites I use, if I could reasonably trust that it will never be used to identify me personally. If you have a website, and you are curious whether your audience is mostly male or female, young or old, using computers or smartphones, I can understand the need, and would not object against my presence increasing some number in the database by one.

Well, there is this problem that if you collect too many attributes about me, and if they are all connected together (as opposed to merely increasing a few independent counters), a sufficiently large collection can be used in the future to identify me uniquely, which is the part I object against. And I have no control about how you store the information, and it is reasonable for me to assume the worst.

To make an analogy with the offline world, if you e.g. give a public lecture, you can see what kind of people are in the audience. And I would feel no desire to wear a mask for the purpose of hiding my age or gender or race or whatever from the lecturer.

But I would object against someone taking my photo, using it to identify me, and writing the information of me attending given lecture on given day into some huge dossier about me, that he would later share with other shady people, so that they can all have my incredibly detailed biography (in case of Google, including also most of my private correspondence). That is definitely evil.

How to Deploy a Node.js App in 2020
I have fasted 100 lbs away over the last 2 years. I adhere to an 18/6 time delay eating schedule but have done 2-3 day fasts with 1 refeed meal for a month at a time. I've also done countless 5-7 day fasts. I've gone as long as 12 days with nothing but water. There were many months where I could count the number of times I ate on one hand. My last go was every other day with just one meal on my eating days. I did that this year for all of January to the end of March and would never recommend alternate day fasting to anyone. You will mess your self and your metabolism up. You will lose a lot of muscle. Alternate day fasting should be avoided.

Never over two years did I feel any of the mental clarity or more energy you speak of. I follow guys like Cole (snake diet) and even he speaks of the feeling of dying and lying in bed shivering on a 5-7 day.

Are you sure about the metal clarity and energy levels, because I and the folks I know who fast don't seem to have those affects.
This is actually a fairly good point, and the required intellectual tap dance required to safely defuse a "strange bedfellows" (no pun intended) tainting of your rhetoric is heartfelt and only likely to be pulled off by someone completely genuine in their commitment to a cause, generally of the variety of "and liberty for all" where all by definition includes even the prospective pedophiles who haven't been investigated or caught yet, and no, catching them is not worth the false positives or abuse engendered by authorizing wholesale violation of civil rights.

There is also the aspect to it that predation on children is generally the ultimate societal affront. We toil everyday not just for ourselves, but to create a world for our descendants better than our own. Pedophilia, in that sense, taps into the same aversion that make things like cannibalism of children a taboo subject.
> "Autophagy", that famous process which supposedly happens during fasting, that miraculously regenerates us, actually happens during caloric restriction, and it's actually a daily process that happens during the night, in everyone, while glycogen stores get naturally depleted.

Last I looked into it, we didn't really know the autophagy timeline in humans, because we can't really measure it. Of course there's a natural fasting window that every human adheres to while they sleep, but with food available at all times, three meals a day plus snacks, that window may be far smaller than what the body is evolutionarily adapted to. What if autophagy doesn't kick in properly until 10, 12 or 14 hours?

Why is manipulating people bad? We are manipulated every day by various psychological factors, like seeing someone eat and getting hungry, and the government for example exerts economic pressure for unneeded items like cigarettes and alcohol with a sin tax, manipulating us to not buy them as much.
Can you explain why you find mutability to be a showstopper? Is this a front end developer thing?

I like my consts and all where relevant, but I don't see why mutability is such a problem. Javascript is an imperative language where almost everything more complicated than a number is mutable. I see the lack of creating copies of objects with every operation as a benefit because of the RAM and CPU cycles it saves.

Is it because the API returns a reference to an object as well as updating said object? That's the API I'd expect, personally; if I want to do an addition of 1 to i, I'd write i += 1 and expect i to have incremented. I don't see why moment.add() should behave differently?
Well the question here is, what criterion is more important for being finished:

A.) having a complete and stable set of core features

B.) no more new features being added

To me personally, A.) is way more important and way more indicative of "finishedness" than B.) is. Surely both criteria do play into this - but imho there's more weight on A.) than there is on B.).

Let's look at your example: VIM. According to criterion A.) it is finished - because it has a complete and stable set of core features, which haven't changed much in many versions (and many years).

According to criterion B) VIM is absolutely not finished, because it still is under active development and new features are still being added.

Let's look a different example - I suggest looking at a piece of imaginary vaporware. Maybe a few design documents exist - but not a single line of code has ever been written. The project has been canned before it even started. No new feature is going to get added to this software ever.

According to criterion B) this software does count as finished - because no new features are being added.

According to criterion A) this software is not finished at all, because it doesn't have a single core feature, let alone a complete set of core features.

Now those two examples are sitting at the very extremes... things do get more interesting if we compare two examples that are a bit closer to the middle:

Which one is more finished?

1.) A piece of software that just hit version 1.0 - it has all it's core features completed, is fully usable, but is still under very heavy development, and might release 2.0 sooner rather than later.

2.) A piece of software sits at version 0.8 and all development has ceased. It's mostly complete, but still missing a few core features - but it's no longer getting any updates at all.

I personally tend to see 1.) as the more finished piece of software of those two. And that means that to me, having a complete set of core features is more important than no longer having new features added. I simply can't see 2.) as finished, since it's incomplete even at it's core.

I believe the Vaporware example shows, that you totally have to weigh in "complete set of core features" as well. Imho at more weight than "no new features" has.

And when weighing things that way, a piece of software with a stable set of core features can be pretty finished, even if new features are still being added. Simply because that complete-set-of-core-features part is so much more important than the no-new-features part.

From the FAQ[1]:

> Is it possible to remove microplastics from water by using a Bubble Barrier?
During the Berlin Bubble Barrier Pilot, the Bubble Barrier was able to catch plastic as small as 1 millimetre. It depends on the catchment system whether the microplastics are able to be brought ashore. In the pilot at Wervershoof, we are investigating whether we can catch microplastics measuring 20 micrometers up to 500 micrometers (0,5 millimeters).

Only stopping larger plastic could be enough of a win, I think, as this would prevent it from being broken down into microplastic...

Is CEO a Two-Person Job?
one percent or more burns each year, the extent is being exaggerated for political purposes but you can view the numbers[0] for yourself. How many millions of acres burn each year is heavily under estimated by the general public because we only see hysteria when it does get reported. This in no way discounts the loss of life and property. Just saying, if a politician is talking then listen to someone else

Now do take care going into how history [1] plays into the numbers as shown on Cato's page because the larger numbers in the 30s and 40s were over disagreements in proscribed burns. Yet the years before that pissing match weren't exactly fun.

"I think about it like even numbers. There’s an unlimited number of even numbers but obviously they’re limited, right? Because 3s and 7s aren’t in there. Language is like that. There’s an unlimited number of possible things we can say, of sentence structures, but not anything can be a sentence structure. So you’re absolutely right. Language is unlimited, but it’s unlimited in a limited way."

This is such a tantalizing idea, but there doesn't seem to be anyway to extend it beyond "we don't know what it would be like to think with a different language paradigm, but it would probably be different." I want to know how human thoughts are shaped and constrained by human language.
RCTs are category-changing

if your field uses RCTs, it's a science. Whether the results are occasionally, due to incompetence or stats, wrong.

The issue with social psych et al. is that they are methodologically /incapable/ of producing reproducible results. It's association modelling of extremely complex domain's. Essentially superstitous.
Yes you are right but this is not enough to have a meaningful impact.

If I understood it correctly, they are adding it in the main app itself. Would a separate app make more sense, as YT is where I mostly go for watching mid/long length videos usually and their consumption pattern would be way different.

Also, would the recommendations work differently here, at present YT recommendations seem to have a very high recency bias. Short videos will have inherently different engagement metrics too, so hopefully recommendations for both work differently.

But this is why I was very surprised with the rumoured $50B value for Tiktok, there are plenty of players who can disrupt it. Companies like YT, FB already know how to build social video platforms at scale. Just need to nail the creation tools and recommendations.
I found my first fast to not be representative of later fasts. You get more accustomed to not eating after you repeat the practice. You become conscious of how often you wander into the kitchen and stick your nose in the refrigerator and the pantry. A cold glass of water becomes a delightful snack.

You might try reducing your fasts to just 24 or 36 hours on weekends.

Currently, I do intermittent fasting where I don't eat before noon or after 6pm, 7 days a week. It helps me to manage my weight, I feel consistently energetic (I work out most days, cardio and weights), my mind feels as clear as ever, and I have no trouble following the practice as a lifestyle.

I'd say that I don't feel quite that clarity of thought when meditating after fasting for 30 hours or so. But it strikes the right balance of achieving some benefits of fasting without feeling like a huge chore that I have to overcome.

I've been doing intermittent fasting for 5 weeks as of today and in that time have lost 22 pounds. I have more energy and have noticed a generally heightened sense of well-being (though perhaps as a result of the weight loss and improved appearance).

I am doing 18:6, so I generally eat from 12pm to 6pm. During that time I typically eat two meals, and one or two small snacks. I try to eat pretty healthy, but there have been plenty of times in the past 5 weeks when I've just pigged out at Waffle House. I still have lost significant weight.

I have two major recommendations: first, drink tons of water. I try to drink about 16oz of water every hour. Besides hydration, it helps a lot with hunger. You will get hungry at times. For me it isn't every day - some days it's easy to stay on track. Others, it's tough. When you're feeling hungry, chug water. It really helps. (tip: try sparkling water to change things up if you get sick of regular flat water).

Second, I recommend using an app to track your fasting. Mine was free and tracks your start and end times for fasting and tells you how long until your fasting period is over. It also lets you track your weight, and even water drinking progress if you want.

Last thing - the hardest day of fasting, by far, is the very first day. After that, it will get easier.

ETA another tip: If you're doing it for weight loss, don't weigh yourself every day. Your weight will fluctuate a pound or two from one day to the next, and even throughout the day. It can be demoralizing to fast for a day and then the scales tell you that you're up a pound. Instead, weigh yourself maybe twice a week, and always near the end of your fasting period.
If you gather data but you anonymise it, then you're totally fine. If you gather it in order to later use it to improve the UX on your site, that's fine.

FreeCAD is a parametric CAD program. A Sketch is a type of thing within FreeCAD. Sketches are defined using constraints and dimensions, not free-hand drawing.

Blender is polygon-based 3D modelling with (pretty much) free-hand drawing and no constraints or dimensions.

FreeCAD and Blender can both export to many of the same formats (notably STL, for 3d printing), but their internal data representation, and supported workflow, is completely different.

FreeCAD is more appropriate when you want mechanical parts, and Blender is more appropriate when you want something artistic like a figurine.

OK, but for example of a problem I recently ran into, I left the (excellent) magnetic surface charger at my office and needed to charge my surface pro 7. Not a problem, I figured my phone charger (pixel) should be fine, if a bit slower. Nope, no dice. I had to Google around to remind myself that "power delivery" is what I need. OK, exceedingly stupid name, but it jogged my memory that the portable battery I have supports that, and I have used it for that before. Cue more frustration when I realize that the only 2 cables I could find at the house don't support this charging standard either.

At this point I feel like an absolute idiot, since now I've wasted 1/2 hour plus 2-4 Google searches just to charge a laptop. None of the equipment is a sketchy aliexpress/Amazon no name part, except possibly 1 of the cables. If it's this hard for someone with electronics experience who is into tech, I can't even imagine explaining it to a family member in a way that would make sense.

Vine was nothing like TikTok. The editing tools of TikTok are vastly superior and lead to much higher quality videos with higher probability of being worth watching.

Vine was mostly shitty little 6 second clips of meme like content. Good for some laughs, but ultimately vapid and shallow. By the time they even wanted to experiment with longer format content they were done.

That’s not even mentioning cultural differences.
In an ideal world, users would also disclose some behavioral data to help webmasters get some meaningful feedback about their work.

The EFF’s own website has analytics, somewhat ironically. But the information they collect is limited, and the analytics are loaded from a separate domain (anon-stats.eff.org) so it’s easy to block. EFF’s privacy policy:
