I believe the reference is to the JW eschatology, which foresees JWs as undergoing a sort of total persecution as a sign of Judgement Times, or Armageddon, or whatever they call it. And, because their form of ministry involves frequently talking to and attempting to convert strangers, they encounter many and various forms of rejection, including critiques, that are understood as harbingers of coming persecution. In this sense daily life comes to reaffirm a broader millenarian vision of the future.

phew.

So, I think the analogy is meant to say that our current era's secular glorification of victimhood achieves a similar goal by encoding quotidienne experiences of failure or rejection with a larger meaning, in this case being part of an oppressed group.

But that's just how I read it.

If a law like you propose was possible, then it would already be possible to split the monopolies. Neither can happen until workers are actually in control of the state, as opposed to the current dictatorship of monopolists.

Thinking you wouldn't be badly affected (and by Johnson's demographic, statistically it was likely he wouldn't have been), doesn't mean you think it doesn't affect others badly.

I'm in my twenties and fit, and going by the vast majority of cases that means I'll have very mild symptoms. That doesn't prevent me being considerate how badly it affects others.

You're also completely ignoring the context that at that point the country had been locked down: you couldn't leave your house except to get supplies and 1 hour of exercise. Does that sound like the decision of a man that denied the gravity of Covid?

Infection with one strain of flu doesn't provide immunity to the other strains of flu, even ones in the same family (different H1N1s, etc). That's why you need a new vaccine every year. That doesn't mean herd immunity wasn't eventually reached for the strain that killed people in 1918. If everyone is either dead or recovered, the virus is simply not going to spread like it did when it was new.

There's a feed for the server you're on. So if you pick a "bad" server (aka the culture there is different from what you like), that becomes useless, more or less. Of course you can always just follow whoever and only pay attention to your following feed.

Also, some nodes maintain blocklists of other nodes. [0] So while you can still follow those people and see them in your following feed, posts from users on that node will -not- appear in the public feed (posts from nodes in the federated network).

Just curious: is there a use case for rotations where the integer size isn't important? It's perhaps a bit annoying to need size-specific rotation functions, but all the uses of rotations I know of need specific integer sizes anyways.

I am not OP but this is a nice meta-study

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsufs.2019.0008...

Looking at yields only (which is a small part of the study; sustainability depends on many other factors) it looks like log response ratio for organic vs conventional is -0.4 (but depends on crop type, etc, see figs 5,6). This response ratio means organic yields were typically ~2/3rds of conventional across US, EU for most produce types.

I think a real path forward is reduction of pesticide/herbicide usage through highly targeted techniques, as well as greater embrace of biodiversity in the field (even at some cost to yield). However it is also not reasonable to switch to all organic right now, since we would then produce only 2/3rds the food we have now.

I think where move from conventional is most critical is for animal products. “Conventional” in the US comes with lots of cruelty. Even if we net eat less meat supporting meat sources that treat animals better is important, and will not likely cause net decrease in calories produced.

I'm guessing you got downvoted because people tend to be attached to the Socratic method. There's a fairly narrow scope where it is a good idea - particularly when there's an understanding on both sides of mentor/mentee. In other cases, it sometimes works, and sometimes goes south.

I've noticed that it's fairly common for people to resent the Socratic approach being used on them. Probably they think that you're assuming a teacher/mentor role (and this may not be your intention), and they want to keep it as a "colleague" role.

Whatever people's intentions/interpretations, the Socratic method backfires a lot. Every one I know at work who is heavy on it has a number of colleagues who refer to him as "arrogant" behind his back. I remember the first time this happened, I was quite taken aback because I knew the person quite well, and he was anything but arrogant. But by using the Socratic method, people felt he was assuming a superior role.

The difficultly here is that there's an implicit assumption: 'Noise' is implicitly defined to be anything that isn't learned by the network.

Now in same cases that may indeed be actual process noise!
But there are many fully predictable data series that are difficult for deep networks to learn and in those cases actual signal will be silently removed.
What did you find? I only see a global number, but this proposal requires 100million MUA in the USA

With some quick searches, multiplying iPhone's 39% marketshare with 328million Americans gets me to 127million, but that's probably too high - not everyone has a smartphone, and how many users actually use iMessage at least once a month, and not say, WhatsApp exclusively ?

> MSNBC at least seems to be informing their viewers on domestic issues better than that baseline.

The difference is only about 5% to the "no news" crowd. Also, people that are better-educated tend to lean liberal and therefore might prefer to consume liberal outlets, but that doesn't mean liberal outlets are better at informing people. Looking at the frontpage of MSNBC, it's almost exclusively political opinion pieces centered around the US.

Moreover, the key question is not whether you're being informed better by consuming this media, but whether it is worth risking some of your well-being by consuming it. Research has found that media that is upsetting is the most addictive. People with addictions make up all kinds of rationalizations on how their addiction has upsides. The idea that you've been wasting time consuming ultimately useless information that irritates you - it's not very attractive.
Funny that you say that, because everything I have read on that in the last 10+ years indicates that that is not the case.

Being an empiricist I would love to see your sources to evaluate my current knowledge against new evidence.

Edit:
Hopefully the sarcasm isn't too harsh. But knowing studies on reduced yields, on the mostly short timeframes and also the question of caloric/nutritional value per acre seems more promising.

I really don't see how having to get Docker going is alleviating any of the above headaches but I'm far removed from these tools being "new to me." Setting up virtualization to run a process on my local machine which I can run without virtualization or containerization the very same way seems crazy to me. It seems like an awful amount of complexity to push onto beginners for what is likely to be zero benefit and gives them only what they had at the start...

> You are entirely free to not use docker.
>> In order to use GNU/Linux one must
> Nope. You can. You don't have to.

Yeah that's my point exactly... you don't have to at all in fact, Docker offers most literally nothing but opaque complexity. I was saying you MUST have Linux if you want containers because containers are a Linux feature and DNE on MacOS but all them sweet utilities are already there save the weird csv tool. I don't think the complexity of Docker is warranted for simply handling a CSV tool and I find it to be a disservice to anyone who is learning.

I would agree with this. I had bad sleep and therefore bad everything else until I decided to get a better bed. Good sleep makes everything better.

used my own builds for many years but lately bought two netgears R7800 and flashed them with openwrt.
the reason is that it's hard to find boards that can fit 2 oversized mini-pcie cards (one for 2.4 and one for 5) and cost of the build becomes too high. though on this compex shop they do have some "dedicated" boards, but they are somewhat underpowered if you want to throw a bunch of things on them.
One big upside, it's very educational.

Except they were regularly defrauding auditors and covering it all up. It seems possible, if not likely, that we're seeing the tip of the iceberg here. Possible on the amount of missing cash, but also possibly in the rest of accounting practices. A company that will move around cash to fool auditors likely doesn't have any qualms about cooking its books to fool investors.
Lots of things simply don't have to be regulated on federal level.

Structurally this is a nearly ideal ultra-scale startup opportunity given the right team.

Every use case has unique data model requirements (minimal standardization, different sectors) but there are easily identifiable platform components that almost everyone needs which aren't available. Surprisingly "simple" architectural holes would be a scalable business if competently plugged, the perfect MVP. These enterprises have an aversion to developing software, it isn’t their strength, and they know precisely how many millions per year a real platform would save them -- value is concrete. However, they are also technically sophisticated as to why all existing platforms fail for them, you can’t fake understanding the problem. I have the benefit of having worked on this market problem for several dozen organizations over the last 15 years, ranging from Big Tech to small EU industrials, so I see it more from their side.

Little is written about it. Everyone is essentially trying to use diverse multimodal sensor data sources to paint an accurate model of some part of the physical world in as close to real-time as possible. Easy to say, very challenging to do. Sometimes these data models are not about their business per se, their hardware puts them in an excellent position to build them so that they can sell it as a service to businesses that can actually use it. Often overlooked is that there are extremely difficult computer science problems with little public literature buried in the design of such systems, and expertise in this computer science is critical to being successful at it. Virtually all startups that try to enter this market completely botch the technical execution, assuming that these platforms don’t exist as a function of business execution when it is actually a hardcore tech startup. The technical execution expertise is the real moat for this business, everyone underestimates how deep that rabbit hole goes.

FWIW, I’ve been laying the groundwork to build a startup in this space for a while now, I even purchased a very good .com domain. :) Bespoke implementations at several highly recognizable organizations are based on licensed code components I designed. There is a massive demand overhang and the market was ready yesterday. The broader ecosystem has room for several startups to coexist, there are many niches currently unfilled.
I love the Economist. I used to pay for it but then ended up having a stack of unread magazines because I tried to read every page. I really should renew my subscription as their articles are in depth and I'm often amazed how can they crank out so many great articles within a week.

Having said that - I see many tech people complain about pay walls even though many of us make $100k+. Pay walls on websites aren't that expensive. Wait till people find out how much the Economists costs.
A good thing to do if you think a question is "low effort" is just ignore it instead of assuming your own superiority.

I joined Mastodon some years ago, but I did not use it for long. I eventually realized the same - you need to find an instance with people/content that you like/relate to.

The thing is: Do I really want another time sink? I've been on the Internet for over 20 years, and I think whatever gains I could have gotten from online forums/discussions have been attained. Time is a premium, and I'm actively trying to quash sites where I just browse for new content. I spend way too much time on HN as it is, and at some point I'll probably find a way to temporarily disable my account for a year or so (e.g. set a password that is a pain to access).
I have own domain and use unique address and password for each service. This lets me know which one leaked it.

When Adobe lost both my address and password I tried contacting their support (I was paying customer). The support person repeatedly said they checked and my credentials were safe. This regardless the fact I had proof. Very disappointing.

Since then I had couple other situations like that.

I guess companies assume users are idiots and use same password everywhere and so they feel safe nobody can prove it is them ho lost it.
It was a tourist one (something like 10GB for 21 days). You just open the package and activate it with a credit card on the company's website. I think you need to provide flight info for your return trip leaving the country and that's how they verify you're a tourist.

That's not quite accurate. Parent comment was referring to self-hosting their own instance (as opposed to joining a hosted instance like mastodon.social, or whatever). It costs nothing to join those, but some people like having their own node on the federated network.

If you have a raspberry pi you can self-host pleroma and still follow mastodon users that you like. Mastodon is a bit resource intensive for a pi still, I believe.

I am not an expert, but based on books and articles I've read[1], forests tend to do that. I think you don't even need a large patch of forest for it to attract rain, anecdotally.

[1] Get an old copy of The Forest and The Sea by Marston Bates, if you can.

"In 1960, he published the ecological science book The Forest and the Sea, an introduction to how ecosystems work. He compares a rain forest and a tropical sea, their similarities and differences, and through it demonstrates how to understand biological systems."

You had one semi-legit study amongst all 10 or so links! The rest were editorial articles or blog articles!

ONE! Talk about disinformation.

Too bad it's a pointless study. Everyone knows masks stop droplets.

But do masks stop Covid at a community level... given the fact that one is applying a plague vector directly to one's respiratory tract for a virus that stays on surfaces for days?

Sweden and Norway had no mask mandate and they haven't had significant number of coronavirus deaths in months. Maybe 20 since July. And they both have less per capita deaths than America.

Meanwhile 93% of Americans believe in mask usage and we're entering a third wave of coronavirus in America.

I don't know. You can tell me if masks work or not.

Good thing health experts are never wrong. Oh wait except for that Thalidomide thing and the flipper children. Oh and little mistake called the Tuskagee study.
