Is European global dominance and accident of timing and history? I'd like to think so, but there are plenty of people who would argue quite vehemently in the negative on that point. Alright, so let's go down the rabbit hole, and be very clear about why the 19th and 20th centuries played out as they did.

I apply this logic singularly to Europe because the colonial history of Europe is singular in its direct influence on states it came into contact with. You cannot talk about modern China's global ambitions without speaking about the humiliating and existentially-dire experiences they had at the hands of the British and Japanese, especially since so much of their contemporary rhetoric specifically mentions these injuries in championing a proud "China of the future." You cannot talk about the perpetuation of caste-based oppression (expanding in particularly European ways) in India, even after the introduction of Enlightenment ideals, without talking about how Western ideas about race and hierarchy (not simply role) helped to justify that perpetuation. And you really, really shouldn't be conjuring the ur-racist canard of Aztec "human sacrifice on an 'unprecedented scale'" without acknowledging the massive (dwarfing) death toll of the Mexican conquest - let alone those associated with witch hunts, inquisitions, and crusades (i.e., similarly religiously-driven mass homicide), or with the other abominations akin to mass human sacrifice cause primarily caused by European hubris (several genocides, including the one in the Congo, as well as both world wars).

The reductive nature of your "it's answered aggressions all the way down" approach belies the agency nations and states and rulers and philosophers have in structuring their doctrine and action. However, if you see any truth in it, you must then acknowledge the inevitable influence a de facto vassal state must receive from its oppressor. Combining the two, you're left with either a chronicle of amoral coinflips, or what's more realistic to me: a few thousand years of power dictating as it will, and often to devastating and immoral ends. Maybe the world would suck less if colonial Europe hadn't been such a d••k. Do you disagree with that?

>Sorry, "we" didn't have time to get any colonies - go find a Spaniard to blame. We were too busy getting raided by Ottomans, having our children kidnapped, trained as slave soldiers, and then used for more raids against us. Or sold into harems. But I won't hold my breath waiting on any sympathy or condemnation of that.

You came out swinging for European innocence, so kindly enjoy your culpability.

I don’t think the expectation is extensive footnoting. If a point is well-established, a link to site that links to research or is viewed an an objective authority would be perhaps expected. There might be a need for something like a DSM for sociology, where such accepted facts and associated support could be collected and be used as single point for citation.

The exercise of building a sociology authority itself would be enlightening if made transparent. Given the well-publicized inability of social science research results to be replicated [citation needed], it might be a very short book.
Yep. I’m guessing the ProtonMail app opens a web view to display their terms of use, or some informational page, completely unrelated to subscriptions. However if any of those pages link to a purchase page, no matter how circuitously, it is taken as a pretext to require IAP.

I think Twitter and Facebook’s coddling enablement of President Trump has been disgusting and both companies have morally bankrupt business models.

But in 2020, you no sooner can demand your neighbor not keep a lush green lawn than you can a social network not run an ad network.

At least this pattern of making the change when it is having its worst impact is better than no change at all.
Can you go into a bit more detail on this?

I mean, I get that they supply parts for specialized devices, but why would a company pass up on the opportunity to reap as much goodwill and brand recognition as the position of "the people that made the Raspberry Pi economical" could engender? I mean think about it for a minute. This is this generations 486 or Commodore or VIC-20.

I scratch my head at trying to imagine the thought process of those in management to completely throw away this opportunity unless they really have something big to hide.
I work on enterprise application development. I feel the same way, web development seems tiresome and filled with hype.

> My mom believes that Obama is a Muslim, and my sister believes Breonna Taylor was a criminal who got what she deserved.

That is an interesting example because while Obama is factually not a Muslim, period, the question about what Breonna Taylor "deserved" is a political one- a matter of opinions. So you're putting in the same bucket objectively fake information and opinions with which you strongly disagree, and calling for measures that can prevent both from spreading.

I thought that, but I disabled my uBlock Origin and still didn't see anything. Now I'm wondering if I have a hosts file block. Or maybe I enabled the ‘Facebook: Bad’ setting in Firefox?

Anyway, thanks for clarifying. I think news reports should never rely on outside servers for their own content. It should be hosted by BBC, just the same as their text.
I wouldn't say that morality is classist per se. The idea of writers influencing the minds of their readers seems paternalistic, because the reading public are treated as impressionable children who need protection and guidance from their betters. And then it's a small step to saying maybe they shouldn't be trusted to vote, either.
Yes, curl has a concept of "backends," which you can choose at compile time. This is about providing an option for a new backend, based on Rust libraries. That's it. Nobody is re-writing anything.
This is interesting. I've been looking for a file system for a non-RAID disk array I want to set up at home, and this seems to have some of the characteristics I'm looking for. The primary downfall for my particular use case seems to be that I want to use partiy-based error correction rather than (or, in addition to) replication, because I want the array to be able to survive a failure of any N disks in the array.

Is there anything like that out there (other than Unraid, which I kinda don't like)?

Let's be realistic here: You need a connection pooler because:

a) You can't hold 5000 open connections out of which 4900 are idle without performance impact.

b) Opening a new connection takes way longer than connecting through pgBouncer running on a differnt(!) box.

It would be nice if memory was the only drawback.

Can you OD on vitamin D from getting too much sun? Or does your body have a way to turn off the production?

Same question but say you take a high supplement and then have a day in the sun?
You're right and you're wrong. Men who grow up being exposed to the idea of nipples as sexual have a subconscious response; men who have not, don't, which is why some lineages of humanity don't have the same taboo, like most pre-modern tribes. It's the same reason that an ankle could be scandalous and arousing in 1750, but isn't now (with some exceptions in modern subculture.)

Personally I'm in favor of modesty, and would prefer not to have sexuality flaunted everywhere like it is, but your answer isn't quite accurate.
Assuming they're talking about TOTP, the 6-digit codes that are valid for 30 seconds:

If I'm fishing you and get you to type your password into fakegoogle.com, I'll try to use it with real google immediately. If they send me a 2FA error (and I've got a semi-sophisticated phishing operation) fakegoogle will show you a an input field for that 6 digit code (just like real google). Then I've got a few seconds to send that to $site as well. It's a tighter timing window, but it's likely at this point that I'm into your account.

This sort of attack isn't possible with a hardware key, since it only works on the original domain (which presumably I don't control).

Does that make sense?
Would you mind sharing how you've disabled ads and shares? I could not find such options in facebook settings. Only thing I can think of is adblock or writing my own software to pull feeds and filter them.
Another case-study that may be of interest has some information on effects of elevated Vitamin D levels on the kidneys:

"In terms of renal involvement, hypercalcemia can cause kidney injury both acutely and chronically.

Hypercalcemia can cause acute kidney injury primarily by 2 mechanisms: afferent arteriolar constriction and intravascular volume depletion from a diuretic effect through activation of calcium-sensing receptor at the sodium–chloride cotransporter in the loop of Henle."

With higher minimum wages the incentive is higher for automation. Pushing companies to produce at “home” could then raise the prices in combination with giving more to the higher earners.

How can we incentivize taking jobs back and increasing wage for the low earners?
Stop to automate..?
Perhaps I was too vague on the Breonna Taylor example. Let me clarify: My sister was arguing with me that Breonna Taylor was a drug dealer. Which is as factually wrong as the "Obama is a Muslim" comments.

EDIT: Note that the warrant in the case was for Jamarcus Glover. I can accept Jamarcus Glover being a drug dealer (or having some connection to drugs), but seeing Breonna Taylor wrapped up in the drug charges is clearly misinformation.

Building a table does imply a bunch of politically charged decisions:

1. Deciding that a new table is a worthwhile use of resources (vs reuse, for example)

2. Deciding who to sell it to (if it's not for your own use)

3. Deciding what to make it out of (resource cost, ethical implications of the supply chain, concern about wood glue toxicity, ...)

And so on, and so forth. You might not consciously think about these as political, but.. that's also a political opinion.

> Not for all goods & services...

Yes, some sub indices have gone up, others have gone down. That doesn't change the fact that _overall_ the CPI has gone up over time. Wages have been having an inverse relationship with prices overall. This is not a case of "prices are cheaper so the wages are less too".

> The only way to prove that “market forces do not reduce prices”

I'm not sure why you're putting in quotes something I didn't say.

> Only true for landlords, but that's because the supply of housing is artificially constrained by zoning regulations. If we fix that, then this becomes less true.

No it's true for all employers that would have had to pay a living wage and now don't because the middle class will subsidize their labor costs.
> they're getting relatively hosed

If by "hosed" you mean getting $120K salary right out of school, then I guess that's true. I'm just not sure I'd call that "getting hosed" though.

If you want to see what "getting hosed" means, go work as an SWE in Europe.

UV also photo-degrades subcutaneous vitamin B in the skin so you can't OD via sunlight.

Exogenous UV not in the skin will not be photo-degraded, so supplement + sun may lead to overdose.
I've spent the last 2 years researching what acquisition channels work consistently for founders [1] by reading over 500 founder interviews. I PURPOSELY avoid unicorn/"big corp" case studies/interviews (like the ones mentioned in the article) because of 2 main reasons:

1) They are almost useless to new founders. These companies were in their "early days" 6-10 years ago, back when MySpace was still a thing. Although you may learn some "timeless lessons" from them, you'll learn WAY MORE by reading from someone who's currently 2 steps ahead of you vs 100.

2) The curse of knowledge. In general, a photographer who spent 1 year learning how to take good pictures will prob. teach you in a more understandable/actionable way than someone who spent 10 years doing that. The reason is simple: They still remember how it was like to be in your position (beginning) vs. someone who's now focused on TOTALLY different things and forgot the beginner's mentality.

In a way. If I take a lot of vitamin D in one day (like 10K UI) I typically get chills, sweats, nausea (sometimes even vomiting) and other fever like symptoms. I think it's the effect of your body turning on its fight against infection.

I don't know if that's "OD"ing specifically. But I am replying because I get the exact same thing when I'm out in the sun all day long. I do feel like you probably can't get 130000 UIs from being in the sun in a single day.
I don't see how that has anything to do with the topic at hand. We're not talking about Twitter's success, we're talking about its influence on elections. If anything it's because it's been very successful (by some metrics) that it's in this position.

I'm not saying that an ultra-politicized workplace can't be an issue, I'm saying that it's silly to blame this particular problem on it. The very concept of ad-supported social networks is the issue, not the political alignment of the guy who writes the CSS.
Everything you say is subjective (at best) or tautological (at worst) until you put a number to what you are calling a "megadose" or "excessive." "Megadose" is relative and needs to be couched with the emerging (not really, it's a decade old at least I believe) that the current official RDA of vit D is about 4-5x TOO LOW and was based on bad data (or a misinterpretation of the data).
You are right to say "for now" - the app will periodically force you back to "Home" view (after a seemingly random period) and then you have to manually switch back - I'm guessing Home view has better "engagement" metrics for the Twitter suits.

As a citizen of the world with several passports including a US one: this happens every 10 years. The last time was conservatives doing it so people are shocked that liberals are just as insular. The 90s PC culture wars are a thing that went in the memory hole really fast when Clinton needed the women who were accusing him to be sluts and harlots again.

On the bright side social media is becoming so unbearable that we'll see more decentralization. It's hard to get banned from a forum when you run an instance of it yourself. And hard not to be when they are run by the mentally ill who think that saying crazy is a bannable offense for being ableist.
Based on my understanding, the main problem surrounding too much Vitamin D is with high levels of calcium that develop.

Vitamin D plays a big role as a calcium-regulatory hormone, and too much of it can lead to elevated levels of calcium in the blood.

However, in a normal, healthy adult, the body's own feedback-inhibitory mechanisms will just downregulate synthesis of the hormone when too much calcium is detected in the blood.

If you're sick or have other things going on (like cancer or taking too many Vitamin D tablets), however, it can be a problem:

Here's the graphic on Vitamin D synthesis in the body from Wikipedia, you can see that the enzyme CYP27B1 is inhibited by elevated levels of calcium in the blood, so calcidiol is shunted into production of an inactive metabolite. This is what would be happening if you were out sunbathing for 123123 hours per day.

I’ve never understood the dewy beats Truman calling system. In the UK each constituency announces results after being counted (and recounted). Those results arrive during the night, polls close at 10, first results at 11, a good idea of who will win in most elections by 5, andthe last few results might stretch into 9 or 10 am if ferries are having issues.

But aside from a national exit poll at 10pm, there are no real guesses.

It seems that different US elections predict who will win a given state far earlier in the process - before the votes are counted even the first time. Is that right?

My own global broadcaster takes its “calls” from ABC. I think that abc, nbc, cbs, Fox, cnn, New York Times and Washington post are probably good enough for “calling it”. I was working election night 2012 in our Washington office and was shocked how early the “Obama wins” straps went up -I have a photo at just 23:19 eastern from fox saying Obama was re-elected. That’s something like 4 hours before polls close in Alaska and Hawaii!

If 4 of those networks and papers have called it then it’s likely good. Sure there’s buzzfeed and whatever that may have enough professional staff on to really judge it, but it’s unlikely that 3 networks and a major paper are all going to call Dewy rather than Truman.

> Its an issue of disinformation, not stupidity, that's leading people down the wrong path...

You're wrong. The difficulty has always been that the most pervasive so-called 'misinformation' is usually fairly plausible, difficult to validate, or simply matters of opinion or interpretation. The notion that Obama is a Muslim strains credulity, and it's not a widely held belief. What about more complex information, such as religious or political texts? These are even more difficult to validate and cause much more harm. Maybe we should just outright ban the communist manifesto? That seems to have caused a large amount of social harm and could be fairly readily classified as 'disinformation'. What about the Christian bible? The Koran? They're full of difficult to validate claims.

> What is your plan to deal with the disinformation here?

What disinformation? The information you don't like, or the information I don't like?

> We're not in an Orwellian fantasy, we're in an all-out information-war...
> Several groups have learned how to weaponize information for their own gain...

The fact that you seem to see that information has been weaponised, but can't seem to see that big-tech's censorship is pursuant to their own political aspirations is alarming. Are you legitimately this biased, or just being disingenuous?
