No, they also protested banning of flights (e.g. when Trump banned flights from China and later from the EU), praised China on their pandemic response, ... most recently, they only came out against lockdowns just now, even though others (e.g. Trump, Sweden, ...) were promoting this policy for months already.
For anyone interested, I recommend a BBC Horizon documentary about the earth's core called "The Core". I found about it on HN and quite enjoyed it.

> “The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ...We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. ...In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons...who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.”

> “Universal literacy was supposed to educate the common man to control his environment. Once he could read and write he would have a mind fit to rule. So ran the democratic doctrine. But instead of a mind, universal literacy has given him rubber stamps, rubber stamps inked with advertising slogans, with editorials, with published scientific data, with the trivialities of the tabloids and the platitudes of history, but quite innocent of original thought. Each man's rubber stamps are the duplicates of millions of others, so that when those millions are exposed to the same stimuli, all receive identical imprints. It may seem an exaggeration to say that the American public gets most of its ideas in this wholesale fashion. The mechanism by which ideas are disseminated on a large scale is propaganda, in the broad sense of an organized effort to spread a particular belief or doctrine.”

> something with an industrial or similar piercing...

Although Baby Boomers are horrified by the style, it is acceptable these days to have large 'plugs' worn in the ears lobes with them being nothing more than valueless plastic.

If you could have built in headphones then there would be a good reason to stretch one's ears and add industrial barbells.

The stretched ears people that are around today will be needing hearing aids one day. This might be decades away, and they might not present a huge market, however, there is plenty of time to develop some hearing aids just for them.

I used to take 3mg melatonin -- this used to work for a day or two, but then it stopped working.

I switched to 300mcg or 450mcg and it just keeps working, no tolerance whatsoever (actually, after 4-5 days of getting into a sleeping routine with melatonin, I find I no longer need it and I can just fall asleep on my own).

300mcg means I don't notice the melatonin working, I just fall asleep.

450mcg of melatonin -- I actually feel it kicking in like I'm a child wanting to stay and watch the movie, but I just can't stay awake.

Happy to engage you in another forum, which would probably be more productive. Ping me if you'd like to video chat.

But it's a good question and I'll try to reply in a brief and somewhat hand-wavy way (due to the medium, space, etc) Everything I'm going to say has caveats. And I can't cover them all. Meh.

If you believe that the species as a whole has never been this unstable before, then the real question is this: what has changed? Whatever it is, it's obviously happened in the last 20 years, maybe even in the last 7 or so. The thing to do would be to identify those changes and come up with a testable theory that can be tested using the data. In general, however, I am persuaded that the overall problem is that we've incentivized consumer technology based on a battle for attention span. This isn't new; it's been going on forever. But the network effect has shot it through the roof, and even simple AI is proving quite capable of taking that business model even further. If it weren't, there wouldn't be so much money in it.

+If you accept that premise, then that's how the conversation should generally go. If you don't accept that premise, then we need to back up a bit and talk about the effects of technology in general.

Here's a more detailed explanation and defense of my underlying thesis I published twelve years ago. This just didn't appear overnight; a lot of folks were trying to ring the warning bells earlier. (BTW, when I published it on HN, it got a lot of votes, but it also got a lot of "Well, sure, but 1) there'll be a new startup that will replace big tech soon, 2) we'll just invent some new app that will solve the problems we have from the current apps, etc") It was a sad demonstration of how all of us tech folk have a tendency to do the best we can to deny and ignore any implications of what we're doing aside from wondering whether our server is up. (I exaggerate for effect)

I disagree. Youtube being the authority on information is as far removed from democracy as you could be.

The reaction is based on unsubstantiated axioms. Does COVID-misinformation do significant damage? I don't think so. Are there concrete examples?

Information gets censored, while simultaneously political information gets censored on Twitter because it implicates a presidential candidate. The reason is that it is information obtained by a hack. Good for democracy? A form of government where voters should hold representatives accountable? This is not a Trump endorsement but I feel driven to state the fact.

> Truth, facts, and hoping that people can apply logic to find their way to them isn't enough anymore and the people exploiting this advantage are getting better at it.

Again, I don't think so, are there concrete examples where this happened? And if so, an advertising company which has some easy ways to distinguish itself by removing unpopular opinions (yes, they are actually unpopular)? It doesn't really make sense to me in any way.

Who are these manipulators? Putin? Trump? Cambridge Analytica? Communists? Capitalists?

Where do we actually see dangerous misinformation? The worst decisions are made from fear and I believe your point of view adds to panic reactions.

Why do you want to curb the infection rate? What’s the end goal?

I’m strongly on the Swedish/Trump side here. We know that the virus is practically harmless for youth and young adults. If immunity persists, we should let them get infected ASAP while protecting the old/vulnerable. If immunity fades, then waiting for the vaccine is pointless anyways. As a young person, I won’t be taking the vaccine anytime soon anyways, not because I have anything against vaccines, but because I have many doubts about barely tested drugs in general (I’ll take it after it’s been tested for a few years).

But hey, say this on YouTube and I’ll be banned!

Files are emphatically _not_ good first class primitives for rich sharing.

If you have a contacts program, are you going to make each contact a file? What about performance or bulk editing? From that program's perspective, the ideal is probably to have a single file (SQLite DB for example).

But now you don't have granular sharing mechanisms except through a clumsy export which requires you to give a name to the thing and put it somewhere and open it in the other program.

Meanwhile I hit the share sheet on my phone for the Contact. Some apps know about this form for data and can ingest it. Others fallback to text. It's the clipboard model, not the files model.

Files are _fine_, and it lets you do stuff like reverse engineer the format and do cool stuff. But it's clunky as hell when you have something relatively ephemeral.
China, more local authorities, screwed up the early days. Then they got this thing nder control quite fast, with harsh measures.

It is still not possible to tell whther the Swedish way was the bast way or not. Lockdowns worked in the early days, the goal was to avoid overloading hospitals. Stuff like SARS and MERS didn't spread by planes to a large extent, did they? So not banning them kind of made sense, until people learned more and their opinion changed.

Lockdowns helped halt the spread when the virus wasn't already everywehere, at least much better then they would now where the virus has spread across the globe, more or less.

And just yesterday, Germany and France reinstituted lockdowns. Things change, and I'd rather listen to people who change their minds with changed facts instead of broken clocks that a right twice per day.

Maybe Apple is just really good at public relations and turns customers into zealots with their marketing techniques. They get plausible deniability when the fans show up and advocate for Apple and they get a lot of "boots on the ground" (fingers on the keyboard?) for free. Even better, plenty of their PR soldiers are paying them to be on the team.

The interesting point underlying this rather silly discussion:

The genre of "tragedy" is nearly forgotten today, while having been extremely popular throughout history.

In most modern fiction we have a hero which is supposed to be virtuous and sympathetic ("likable"). If they have flaws they will either be insignificant and endearing, or the hero will overcome these flaws through the arc of the story. The villain is the antagonist in the story, and is a bad guy, but is eventually defeated by the hero through the strengths of the personal qualities of the hero. The hero is often a "nobody" in the beginning but achieves some respect and status at the end, while the bad guy gets justly punished for his evil deeds.

A tragedy is a completely different genre. In a tragedy we have a great person which is brought down by destiny and their own flaws. The protagonist of a tragedy is not supposed to an ideal of virtue. The author of the article seem surprised that Hamlet is not idealized but rather acts both stupidly and unfairly. But look at the other tragedy protagonists - Richard II, Richard III, Macbeth, Othello, King Lear, Romeo and Juliet. They are all severely flawed and make disastrous mistakes. We are supposed to empathize with these characters, not sympathize.

On the other hand the they are not getting "justly punished" either. Richard III is clearly an evil man, but Othello is the manipulated victim. Romeo and Juliet is not doomed through their own actions but through the destiny of their families which they are not able to escape. And poor Ofelia. A tragedy is not moralistic in the way that everyone get their just desert - destiny can be completely unfair.

So how could anyone designate Hamlet as the "worst villain" compared to someone like Macbeth or Richard III? Probably because the writer thinks Macbeth and Richard III are supposed to be "bad guys" but Hamlet is supposed to be a "good guy", and his flaws therefore are less acceptable. E.g if a bad guy is sexist, we consider it consistent with his badness, but if a good guy is sexist we consider it as if the author condones sexism, which is more problematic. But this is reading Hamlet if it was a Hollywood movie, not a tragedy.

So why have tragedy gone out of fashion to the extend that a person writing about Shakespeare does not understand the genre? Probably because in modern society we believe in meritocracy and the pursuit of happiness. We are supposed to take control over our own destiny, and so cannot believe that we have flaws which cannot be overcome, or in an unfair destiny which we have no say over.

Please note I didn't say "no files". I said "better clipboard". I like files as a thing to be exposed. But I think that for day-to-day work being able to move stuff around between apps without fidgeting around with files is very valuable.

If you are having issues with multiple concurrent state reads you should definitely consider splitting your project into smaller discrete modules. I see a lot of projects where an entire AWS account is managed by Terraform using a single state file. This is insanity in my opinion.

It does simplify architecture in a way because everything can be referenced directly in the same projet, but you quickly run ito collaboration issues and runtimes get really long. Use logical states for each discrete piece of a service/module and have those output the needed config/info. Then reference those outputs from other states/modules.

This is the only way I've seen to really scale a TF project effectively. It's not perfect but it's workable even for large teams.

No comment on the free speech / censor aspect.

Google has been taking an aggressive approach to Covid content since the start of the epidemic. I tried searching for previous articles regarding commentary on it about it on Google but they're now quite hard to find.

We had a news aggregator kicked out of Google Play because it "promoted misinformation" but it was simply the same headlines (and sources) Google News uses! It has since been reinstated. I'd seen other mentions of apps being removed for the same reasons, which I assume was done in an automated fashion.

There's also been commentary on the same kind of thing happening on YouTube for months for the general topic of Covid-19
VR is here for about 20 years ... still nothing has catched up. VR has some inherent flaws that will probably hinder itself from ever getting to anything except niches (like gaming).

AR, on the other hand, MIGHT get some traction, but I'm not sure how. AR currently adds another layer of abstraction ... that's one layer too much. There should be something where it adds more use than the additional layer of interaction takes. I personally like the IKEA App where you can visually place furniture into your AR room, that's pretty need and helpful. Other than that (and gaming of course) i don't see any applications for the web.

Applications for other things like "way finding" or "place something in AR (like an electrician virtually places the markers where to install outlets) might come if there is more benefits than "the old way".

Maybe you're right that the books didn't give the tv script writers enough fodder for the shock and awe they wanted, but that just shows they were the wrong people to adapt the story for tv.
>Of course, but truth wins out over the long run.

I doubt that, and if that was even the case, until then lies can do a lot of damage.

>How do you stay above it all? It's not censored now but you seem able to detect it and protect yourself.

I don't. Sometimes I get fed bullshit and believe it. I'm certain there is things I believe right now that are lies. Sometimes I find out a more proper explanation, sometimes I never get any truth.

Getting behind what is lies and what not requires education, something the US for example has abandoned over time for the rich to enjoy.

>That is censorship, I'm not sure how that supports an argument for more free speech? We have laws against assault already.

Censorship is enacted by government, not private individuals. Besides, they are smart enough to never call for violence directly. They say "I wish someone would call SWAT on this guy" or "this kinda behaviour ends you with a broken nose wink wink".

>How could they win? Defamation laws, at least in the US, value truth above other considerations.

In the US, a lawsuit isn't about who is right but who has enough money to keep the lawsuit going for longer.

>Again, I'm not sure what this has to do with a free speech argument?

Free speech is valuable in respectful and calm debate. Disrespectful and violent speech is not free speech, it's violence.

>Violence and disrespect really are completely different ball games, I don't see how conflating them clarifies things

Reread, I don't conflate them.

>If you could find someone who can judge such things infallibly then perhaps I would agree.

It doesn't have to be infallible, just reasonably provable or not disprovable. If you're lying on purpose then this entire point is moot anyway, no need to prove anything. Then you're just out for harm.
I'm confused. The parent claimed the exact opposite - that we have more policing in Europe than in the US. Did you have opposite statistics?
