My experience with Escitalopram in the UK:

After the (free) doctor prescribed it to me, they put it on the system as a "repeat prescription". This means the online pharmacy app would automatically order more to be delivered well in advance of running out, 3 months worth of pills at a time (9 GBP each). Once a year, the doctor would send me an appointment for a medication review. Aside from that the only time I saw a doctor was when I wanted to adjust the dosage.
Back when I was a Linux user, I used to do almost the same thing. With regards to the fonts, though, I preferred the URW Nimbus familiy[1], which I found by accident on a pre-installed Debian package. I have also experimented with the GNU FreeFont family[2], although I recommend the former.

The key word here is "expected", what will happen in a year or two, no one really knows. And we have the presidential elections in the states coming November. A lot of things depend on that too.

Around the world journalists do enjoy some protections that a regular person would not have. Those are unfortunately being eroded by new laws focusing more on punishing anyone bringing crimes to the public's attention, rather than punishing those responsible for the crimes being exposed in the first place.

Similarly, a whistleblower would normally have more protections than someone simply stealing company secrets. Another area where the focus is on stamping out any kind of leaks instead of addressing the target of those leaks.

Some sort of lack of critical thinking. My wife teaches a high school class where they examine media, try to determine the motivation behind sources, whats credible etc. Its an elective class but maybe ought to be mandatory. I think people are generally overloaded with information these days and for some reason have a hard time sorting out whats true. Or they rely solely on US TV based news, which really isn't news as much as infotainment.

Also I think a common thread with people that go for conspiracy theories is a tendency to see the world in black and white. Everything is either 100% good or 100% bad. If the CDC was wrong about something in February then they're always wrong or theres some deep state plan afoot. A politician that tells some lies, sometimes, is the same as Donald Trump constantly lying. There's no room for nuance.
Ya hackernews is a terrible place to discuss Assange accurately I have learned.
Institutional trust has eroded.

The US surgeon general and Fauci told people to stop buying masks. Then they reversed themselves, and defended their position at the time.

Media reports "fiery, but mostly peaceful protests".

What intelligent person would trust institutions that are inconsistent and refuse accountability? What intelligent person can cope with the dissonance of arson = peace? Can you blame distrust given this environment?

That's definetively not the consensus.

Both macOS and Windows were designed at a time when screen resolutions were under 100dpi.
My take is that Apple favored font rendering to mimic printed text as much as possible and Microsoft went with legibility at all costs with ClearType.

But to me, Windows font rendering is awful, of just terrible taste.

High resolution screens makes it all much less of an issue, but both Linux and Windows still struggle in that regard as well.
Given the evidence that the actual truth is that there is a significant danger posed by the virus (see 200k dead Americans), a more logical conclusion here is not overstating the risk of the virus, but understating the risk of BLM protests.

>withdrawing over-the-counter paracetamol while continuing to allow over-the-counter ibuprofen

Paracetamol is not an NSAID (unlike ibuprofen) and has a lot less negative effect on my gastritis. There are not many painkillers available OTC which are not also NSAIDs and so don't destroy your stomach lining. I'd rather not develop stomach ulcers to prevent some random lunatic from gorging himself on paracetamol into the grave.

The plan for solving a society wide problem that doesn't work if some people believe stupid things is a stupid plan.

Let's stop spending time on counterfactual complaining and focus on what a serious solution looks like.
President Trump is a public figure whose global visibility is positively unmatched by anyone. This is because he is POTUS but also particularly because he stakes outrageously false claims that draw in the media at every turn. He sows doubt regarding the credibility of scientists in his own administration in agencies like CDC, NOAA, EPA and more.

But of particular relevance to this subject is his opposition to (1) wearing masks as a role model, (2) mandating masks as a nation's leader. His general suggestions to the public that the virus is not a threat give voice to those who would claim that "it's all a hoax."
This argument does not address the concern.

If I just stabbed someone, there is a clear explanation for why I am being put in jail. If I am possessing a drug, why a I being put in jail? Because of some hypothetical possibility? Because I belong to a group of people that have a higher chance of doing something that might end up in something bad happening?

Justice needs to answer an individual why they are about to be deprived of most of their liberties. Putting someone in jail is the worst thing the government does to individuals; such a severe action requires a personal explanation.
Protecting the source is aiding a criminal, which is also a crime.

We run a lot of production Elixir apps at work, but we deploy them all in Docker containers on AWS basically. The whole live-upgrade erlang philosophy has always been one I've been curious about and interested in, but also a little skeptical of.

It's funny to me that erlang (and Elixir) are so dogmatically immutable / no shared state "in the small" at the module and function level, but apparently not "in the large", at the system level. Whereas you tend to see the reverse with deploying most other languages.
Legally speaking, that decision was solid. Governments have strong and broad authority to regulate commerce, but their power to regulate protests is relatively narrow.
I agree with you. This article complains that generic industry practices are not as optimized as his niche solutions. Thats no surprise.

Of course a build and deploy system specifically designed for your product/environment is going to be more feature rich and performant, but once the initial developers leave or move on, all is lost. I have seen it happen multiple times.

Sticking with slower clunkier industry practices means you can hire someone off the street and they’ll have a much better chance of being able to understand the system.

If you want longevity, you use the standards. All engineering (mechanical, electrical, etc.) agrees on that.

There is a range of libertarian thought, but all share one principle: liberty.

The ‘non-aggression principle’, in my experience of libertarianism at least, is not as central / common across libertarian writings.

Wikipedia:

> Libertarianism (from French: libertaire, "libertarian"; from Latin: libertas, "freedom") is a political philosophy and movement that upholds liberty as a core principle.[1] Libertarians seek to maximize autonomy and political freedom, emphasizing free association, freedom of choice, individualism and voluntary association.[2] Libertarianism shares a skepticism of authority and state power, but libertarians diverge on the scope of their opposition to existing economic and political systems. Various schools of libertarian thought offer a range of views regarding the legitimate functions of state and private power, often calling for the restriction or dissolution of coercive social institutions. Different categorizations have been used to distinguish various forms of libertarianism.[3][4] This is done to distinguish libertarian views on the nature of property and capital, usually along left–right or socialist–capitalist lines.[5]

Conspiracy theories are a way for people to create rationale when they experience cognitive dissonance.

Almost all conspiracy theories can be disproved if you consider if they are:

1.) Reasonable given the circumstances. (i.e. is there a simpler way to achieve the same ends)
2.) Is the conspiracy theory possible when adjusted for behavioral biology, neuroscience, physics and mathematics.
3.) Is it possible that sufficiently advanced technology is involved but has not been made public. There are many conspiracy theories that can be simply explained by technology that is possible but has not been made public. For instance you can make people paranoid by repeatedly having people walk by them talking about what is going on in their home. The problem is the technology to view and listen into people's homes has been available since the 1970s and is available now for less than $5000. You can modify millimeter wave technology for this purpose today.

If the above two conditions hold true, you need to seriously consider the idea that some of the things that sound like conspiracy theory might be factual.

You can't label everything a conspiracy theory, some of it is just crazy people who need a reason for things they don't want to take the time out to find a rational explanation for.

I don't really follow your comment. Here's a paper that concludes that BLM protests had (have) no effect on Covid case growth in the population: https://www.nber.org/papers/w27408

"Likewise, while it is possible that the protests caused an increase in the spread of COVID-19 among those who attended the protests, we demonstrate that the protests had little effect on the spread of COVID- 19 for the entire population of the counties with protests during the more than five weeks following protest onset."
I agree with

> Institutional trust has eroded.

I think the biggest problem is social media. A reasonable person would make this same conclusion you have, for example:

> What intelligent person can cope with the dissonance of arson = peace?

And yet another person who gets their information from another source, would reach the opposite conclusion. The simple fact is that enough happened in enough locations that if you hone in on one protest here or one riot there you can paint a completely different picture.

For full disclosure, most of the images I got of the protests personally were from a twitch stream called "Woke" which was a compilation stream of about usually 5-10 simultaneous protest streams from different cities. I don't think I ever once witnessed arson or another crime, despite having watched that stream ever night during the height of the protests.

But I don't doubt there was arson and numerous other crimes.

In other words, I am particularly pessimistic that it is possible to have institutional trust anymore, because the events in our world are so numerous and nuanced that it is frankly impossible to give a succinct, consistent, and accountable view of them.

Same with the mask thing: Fauci and the surgeon general were absolutely correct telling people to stop buying masks when there was a shortage and hospitals were running out of them. And they are absolutely correct now telling people that, with no remaining shortage, we should all have masks and wear them to stop the spread (in particular now that most people aren't sheltering in place anymore). But that level of nuance doesn't come through, especially in a world where most "news" comes from headlines on reddit links and facebook posts.
> Isn't the opposite of spread - hoard?

Only in the 2nd sense (ie: "getting" something in a knowledge area).

The 1st sense (... understanding and accepting ...) cannot be hoarded, since it is not given to you from someone else.
> The US surgeon general and Fauci told people to stop buying masks. Then they reversed themselves, and defended their position at the time.

Making a claim and then reversing it based on new data is the correct thing to do. This isn't an issue at all and shouldn't be considered a violation of trust.

Good point, had no idea what was MS until I read the comments. In my language it's "esclerose múltipla", and have never seen it acronymed.
I think an important flaw in this survey is that it assumes people's belief in each element is 100% true or false, or without nuance. I prefer to think in percentages when it comes to these theories, and think many do. A few Chinese scientists came forward recently suggesting the lab-grown theory again. This put my personal "likelihood meter" up a few % points that the thing came from a lab (but still well below 50% since there is no smoking gun), and according to this, it sounds like others may have done similar.

That people are politicizing the virus on all sides is 100% certainty. All you have to do is read the news- that's not a conspiracy theory. The degree to which any given aspect (mask effectiveness, CFR, HCQ, etc.) is subject to those politics varies. At least in my circles, most people seem to understand there are legitimate risks and mitigations like masks, quarantine, etc. work to some degree. Again, they believe this on a spectrum. Most people are somewhere between "lick all doorknobs" and "sleep in full body respirator".

The pharma industry creating the virus is the least likely scenario IMO (~0%), but again, it doesn't take much imagination to see pharma making money on all this. I don't even necessarily see anything wrong with that, as long as it's done honestly.

All that to say, the premise of the article is flawed in that it doesn't account for the full range of belief in these "conspiracy theories".

Also, what is the alternative? Unquestioning belief in whom?

> This is incredibly naive.

Maybe you stopped reading. I also said they did it for financial reasons.

To say they did it purely for profit is overly reductionist.

But in the sense that they believe the policies they have put in place make their device superior in the market, and make the App Store generate more dollars per user (both for Apple and for Developers), then you could say that profit is always an underlying motive. As it is and as it should be in capitalism.

Whether you believe Android is great or not is irrelevant. I personally think you are glossing over some very high profile failings and failures of Android, but it’s totally besides the point. Similarly totally irrelevant whether they could have made different technical and policy choices over the last 12 years which may or may not have obtained the same or similar outcomes.

Apple does not owe anyone the right to distribute their Apps on Apple’s own store, no more than any product can demand placement on their own terms in any store. Only if Apple holds a monopoly on smartphones could Apple’s right to enforce their own policies on their own phone be limited. That’s why the term monopoly is important.

The existence and relative quality of the Android universe renders disagreements over Apple App Store policy beyond the reach of an anti-trust act.
No they did not. The elections are rigged, opposition jailed or even killed. Have you ever talked to independent election observers in Russia?

I'm worried that we are starting to see the realization of everybody's concerns over the rise of surveillance technology from the past decade. Federal mass surveillance, reports of stingray use at other protests, unmarked federal agents throwing people in the back of vans. I'm not a fan of where we are headed.

Some of that footage from Washington DC with peaceful protestors being gassed and rounded up by unmarked agents so that President Trump could walk across to a church for a photo op looked like it was straight out of a distopian sci-fi movie.
Scared people sometimes look for control over a situation to feel less scared. The hypothesis that COVID-19 is man-made makes it seem like we have some control over it, whereas, the thought that it developed outside of human control and might happen again terrifies them.
