>buying journalism one journalist at a time is too expensive.

I think this closed view is partially do to how we consume media as a service vs. a cheap one time payment/view.
I'm not sure if substack is a solution or if micropayments will ever kick off, but I don't see how it is more expensive to pay the journalist directly if the mass publishing mechanism is solved.
I'd suggest reading up on the genus of spider Portia (which incidentally is the main "character" of the sci-fi book mentioned above)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portia_(spider)

A BBC clip about the spider: https://youtu.be/ERuJiSt8pF4 - there's more to the longer clip with Portia playing with the web of another spider to get it to move out of position and other behaviors.
My suspicion is that you would see similar improvement with things like waist circumference, BMI, blood pressure, at least initially, but that the difference with intermittent fasting is that it introduces enough of a "fasted state" that the body is able to perform repair and autophagy of senescent cells that would occur much less in a constantly fed state. (something about telomerase, but I probably shouldn't mention that because my memory about that is foggy)

If you increased the amount of fasting, I'd bet good money that people would lose more weight than on a calorie-equivalent diet. Intermittent fasting, in my experience, is helpful in sticking to a diet that is lower in calories because it allows you to eat satisfying meals.
> In fact, I am quite sure, there is much less bullshit going on today, but it looks like there is more because that these are so much easier to figure out.

You're "quite sure" but how would one fact check this?

Other possibilities:

- There are more new claims being made and circulated, even if the same proportion of them initially are false, the fraction that any given person can follow up on to validate or debunk decreases, and then the share of propagated claims which is false is higher.

- The share false "facts" is higher because the ability to disseminate information has been democratized, but us amateurs have a lesser commitment to fact-checking than press professionals a generation ago.

- The share of bullshit is greater today than when you were a kid because the internet makes it financially rewarding to churn out content regardless of accuracy.

This has just defined shock heating as compression heating. But as I argued elsewhere, that makes no sense, since the compression at a shock is bounded by a finite maximum value regardless of the mach number.
The git mailing list seems to be a mix between the two and their submitting patches document doesn't seem to indicate which convention is preferred.

Which mailing lists recommend against using the In-Reply-To header referencing the previous cover letter?
From the title: "Intermittent fasting from dawn to sunset for four consecutive weeks..."
And yet here I am happily using Stremio in the 3rd world. Even then, with all the content available I average at most 1 episode per week. 99% of the content produced is crap. Youtube offers better free options, try the DW documentaries for example.
From what I understand, autophagy doesn’t start until 18 hours and doesn’t peak until 72 hours.
What if they just stopped the free version entirely and became paid-only like Netflix, Disney+, etc.? There's no reason they have to offer a free tier at all. To the extent that the paid tier makes them more money, I understand why they'd push people onto it.
> do any NNTP server software have email subscriptions?

You do not really need to build that into an NNTP server; you can just have something like rss2email for NNTP running locally. There is a way to do it with CNews though: https://tldp.org/HOWTO/Usenet-News-HOWTO/x714.html

Mailman can forward list messages to newsgroups, which is something you do want to do on the listserv server side: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mai...

The study focused on Muslims observing Ramadan, which does forbid drinking liquids (including water) during the daytime.
No control group, and n=14. This study says nothing.
1) He has his own copies of emails found on the laptop (for those that he was included on)

2) He didn't have the whole picture until details from the laptop (that didn't include him) were made public

3) question the timing all you will (I certainly do) but the contents of the laptop have never been repudiated other than as a vague smear of "Russian disinformation". Hunter's lawyers even asked for the laptop back

4) The DOJ just admitted that they've had an open investigation into Hunter since last year, and Bobulinski just turned over his phones as evidence in that investigation.

I really hope everyone here who is dismissing this was just as skeptical of the Steele dossier, because there is more actual hard evidence and witness testimony here than with the dossier.
They refuse to engage with him. "Our intention in sending the memo was for you to revise the story for publication. However, it's clear from your response this morning that you are unwilling to engage in a productive editorial process on this article" That kind of full stop to the conversation is exactly what gets people to understand they don't have a say and don't have someone who will even listen. I'd say quitting over this kind of journalistic integrity is extremely noble. How could they even request he not post his article elsewhere when he is allowed to do so. We're talking about the guy who released Edward Snowden leaks basically building the Intercept in the process and now with the overwhelming evidence that the 'laptop' stuff is true as he detailed, they all of a sudden are opposed to information leaks and claiming it's "Russia" when the photos and videos from the laptop are obviously proof that the laptop was in fact Hunter Biden's. If i was dismissed so easily about something that is integral to my profession I'd be pissed too.
They get paid for that extra time if they choose to work it. Otherwise a teacher works 30 hours a week when normalized to a 48 hour work year. This is part-time work.

But they get golden health care, pension, and early retirement. Good for them. This is why teachers aren’t suckers as the OP suggested. They’re in on a great scam. Good for them.

The sucker working retail could only dream.

Does this have practical implications, as in, is this an algorithm that you'd run in practice, or is it mainly a theoretical bound due to constants hidden in the landau symbol?
GLENN GREENWALD: "Your Honor, I can prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that the defendant killed Mr Smith. And I will do it with a single question. I am so certain of the defendant's guilt, I move that the court adjourn so that your Honor can begin deliberating on the sentence."

JUDGE: "Mr Greenwald, we need to establish the facts of the matter first."

GLENN GREENWALD: "That will be a breeze your Honor. A fleeting diversion from the matter at hand. I can prove the defendant's guilt with... One. Simple. Question. Like that! snaps fingers. But, more importantly, I think that forty to life is commensurate with the crime."

JUDGE: "The evidence, Mister Greenwald. I believe you said you had a question about evidence?"

GLENN GREENWALD: "Of course, your Honor. Of course. And let me just say I have the victim's children in the court today, to see justice done. You wouldn't want to not do justice in front of the victim's children would you, your Honor? Look, little Timmy is waving." (Glenn waves toward the rear of the court).

JUDGE: "That appears.. Adjusts glasses and peers intently That appears to be a waving tube man, similar to the one outside the Carpet Salesroom down the block..."

GLENN GREENWALD: (Hurriedly) "Be that as it may, your Honor, to the matter of sentenc-"

JUDGE:"It even says Carpet Warehouse on the sleeve."

GLENN GREENWALD: "I... uh..."

JUDGE:"Mr Greenwald. MISTER GREENWALD! (Bangs gavel) Did you steal this homonculus from the Carpet Warehouse?"

GLENN GREENWALD: (rushes up and snatches gavel) "Bailiff, remove Timmy Victim from the court."

JUDGE: (Stares silently at Greenwald coldly for a heartbeat) "I believe you had a question for the defendant?"

GLENN GREENWALD: "Yes, one that will-"

JUDGE: "And your entire case of guilt is based on this one question which will prove the case (He consults his notes) 'Like that!'?" (Snaps fingers)

GLENN GREENWALD: "Yes, I uh-"

JUDGE: "The question, Mr Greenwald."

GLENN GREENWALD:"I... Uh... did you-"

JUDGE: "Address the defendant, Mr Greenwald. I am not on trial here."

GLENN GREENWALD: "Defendant. Did you... on the night in question... did you kill the victim?"

DEFENDANT: (Leans forward, lips close to the microphone) "No."

GLENN GREENWALD: "Well fuck. I'm all outta ideas."
“Dry fasting” is a thing, but it seems most people recommend against it. Not sure what the added advantage is for avoiding zero calorie water consumption.
> Greenwald seems like a remarkably average journalist

Sure, bud. Greenwald, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist is all of a sudden "average", just because he dared to ask questions and expose near-airtight censorship by mass media and Big Tech.

Lisp compilers assume that certain things are available at compile time, but not at run-time. These assumptions are supported by the particular set of special forms that is handled, and that set is not extensible.

Fexprs make the set of special forms open-ended, and allow anything to be available at run-time.

If a new special form is introduced which allows something to be dynamic which was previously static, it can cause major work in the compiler.

It is not usually reasonable to do major work in the compiler for the sake of some special form that an application needs. It is not even possible unless the users have buildable sources for the compiler.

One example of an important facility about which static assumptions are made is lexical scope (a.k.a. static scope). Lisp compilers use a completely different representation for the static scope from interpreters. In a lexically scoped Lisp dialect, fexprs receive the lexical environment as an argument (necessarily so). This is a run-time object, which a fexpr can easily leak to the application directly, or else indirectly (by providing semantics like looking for a variable using a run-time symbol as a key). That is like the upvar business in tcl. It relies on the existence of a searchable structure at run time, which is the antithesis of lexical scope.

Still, there can be fexprs that don't require the application writer to hack he compiler. Why don't we just have those? fexprs users who want their code to compile will just have to write a macro. If they are not able to, then they don't get to compile the code.

But those who want to compile the code don't want to do the work twice: why write a fexpr and a macro, if you can just write a macro? The interpreter can work with the macro expansion, just like the compiler. Application writers want to implement something once, in one way. If you implement something twice, you have to maintain both.

Basically, Lisp users historically expressed the desire to compile the code without hacking the compiler, and that steered things away from fexprs toward macros.

Here is a big one: macros can be functionally written even if the construct they implement is imperative. Expanding a macro can be a side-effect-free, pure operation. If it is so, you can trust it to produce he same results on the same inputs.
It's often possible to check that a macro is doing the right thing just from example expansions. The expansion works right there at the call site.

A fexpr carries out operations "remotely", so to speak, because it's a function. It's a function which has to receive contextual arguments and then uses an API to access the scope. The resulting code is harder to read. The (non-hygienic) macro user just performs an expansion and sees an expression like A or #:G0025, denoting the access to a variable. He or she just has to imagine that code in place of the macro call. To debug fexpr, the user has to read code that uses some API like (get-var env third-var) to do the same thing.

Common Lisp's mixture of lexical and dynamic scope could cause challenges for fexprs also.
Comparison of the big three cloud players' earnings:

MS "Intelligent Cloud" $13.0B (Azure up 48% YoY but not broken out, rest is "server and cloud services" up 22% YoY)

AWS: $10.8B (up 28% YoY)

Google Cloud: $3.4B (up 45% YoY), includes Workspace (fka G Suite)

TL;DR: AWS is still #1, but Azure is catching up fast and Google is growing faster too.

> If you have resources to support the third child, and you chose to not spend them on the child, you should feel some guilt for slowing down the progress of humanity.

Perhaps concentrating attention on two children makes it that much more likely that they will have longer, fulfilling lives, and grace us with their eventual wisdom, rather than all three grubbing in the rubble of a collapsed civilization.

Sure, the odds of either path don't change much based on the single decision of whether to have another child, but every little bit helps, right?
Nothing stand-out from https://ourworldindata.org/cancer that would indicate that.

Alcohol would also be a factor in play as that would increase the risk of some cancers, so the lack of you would of thought also be a factor with that lifestyle.

> Say what you will about Russia, but I don't believe they'd attack hospitals dealing with COVID in the middle of the pandemic as a cover for some kind of attack.

I wouldn't characterize it as an attack, its closer to "preparing an attack". And why not - the former President of the United States outright said on TV that the US had placed dormant implants deep inside key Russian infrastructure without pulling the trigger as a preparations/part of countermeasures for electoral meddling in 2016. The decision to pull the trigger was left as an option for his successor. I do not doubt the Russians may be getting similar "insurance" against a possible unfriendly posture from Washington starting January 2021.

pretty biased opinion section

Like, that's what an editorial page is? What you are really saying is, they don't have the same bias as you. As for standards, that's really unfair. They have high standards and are much more apt to invite opposing opinions than the NYT, or WaPo. They refused to endorse Trump in 2016. Good people can disagree with you for real reasons, not because they have lower standards.
None of that will compare to the catastrophe that is climate change, if our understandings of the consequences are correct.

I don't work anywhere near geospatial stuff, but this would have been helpful to me a few years ago when I did some hackathon projects that involved Google Maps, frantically trying to integrate a number of different data sources that used coordinate systems I'd never heard of. It's worth having at least a vague awareness of this stuff if you might ever touch anything map-related.
We’re working on this. Harder than it seems.
I’m always curious how someone gains this lower level knowledge. It seems there isn’t much substitute to actually implementing a reference yourself or keeping an ear to ground for blogs like this.

Any other good resources to learn low-level (Linux) networking? I would love to know what conntrack actually does rather than just raising the limit in my applications when I see a special log line.
Autophagy is always active, the real question is how that activity changes during fasting. The number of 18 hours is fairly arbitrary, as even after a few hours of fasting autophagy increases.
This is true, but let's not forget that business problems can become engineering problems and vice versa.

Sometimes adding features (solving business problems) gets so tedious that engineering problems need to be addressed!
I think "learning new things" is not a goal. A goal has an end, can be completed, more like a destination and can be reached. But "learning new things" is more like a direction, a journey itself.
It's not like this evidence is being hidden from the rest of the media. Tony Bobulinski held a public press conference where he brought 3 cell phones with text messages for anyone to examine. The whole NYTimes, Washington Post, CNN crowd just refused to show up.
True. However, even if intermittent fasting is no more effective than calorie restriction, from a human behavior perspective, it seems to be an easier way for many people to achieve their calorie goals than just "eating less".
And there's a lot more available stuff to watch now than ever before thanks to the likes of YouTube. I'm into some seriously obscure historical warfare stuff that no one has ever made a proper TV show about, but all it takes is one antique weapons dealer/HEMA practitioner YouTuber who already researches all this stuff anyway and you've got many hours of stuff to watch.

You still have hassle , you need to move from one application to the other, hardly convenient.
> Er, Mueller straight up said "if we could exonerate the President for obstruction of justice, we would. But we can't."

I always found that statement to be bizarre and offensive. You don’t prove someone innocent. You prove someone guilty. Trump doesn’t need Mueller’s exoneration, and a statement like that speaks volumes, to me anyway, about the mindset of the person making it.
Autophagy is not a binary thing. Every body does autophagy all the time, it's the intensity/volume that increases in longer fasts.
If the average person likes it, maybe it's not horrible. Or maybe it's exactly what it was intended to be.
I only have a little bit of GIS abilities but I found the page interesting. I think it's suitable for people as long as they have non-zero exposure to geographic coordinate systems.

One thing about this topic that makes it hard to learn is software ergonomics. It seems like a lot of tools can work with GeoJSON now, and as I understand it GeoJSON has simply declared that there is only one coordinate system and every file uses that one. Declaring a different CRS is not allowed in the standard. However, ESRI ArcGIS will emit GeoJSON with any CRS you want. In fact if you don't tell it specifically to use the GeoJSON standard, it will instead emit GeoJSON in EPSG 3857, which is not just irritating but plainly incorrect. It further confuses the issue that the 3857 system has six other alternate names, each seemingly as well known as any of the others.

It doesn't help that geopandas will cheerfully perform a spatial join of two dataframes despite the fact that it knows full well that the two frames have incompatible coordinate reference systems. It will warn about this condition but it will do the join anyway and you might not see the warning after a million lines of console spew.
I spent 20 years as a journalist and can tell you from first-hand experience and the contacts I have kept in the industry that the media today is not the same as the media of 2010, or 2000, or 1990, and certainly not the 1970's.

One of the book's major premises, as the parent mentioned, is journalists' dependence on cultivating sources. Yes, the media landscape has changed drastically - with journalists now have far few resources. If anything, this would make them more dependent on cultivated sources as well as corporate press releases and similar things.

Which is to say your argument is nothing but a vacuous "things are different" claim but the overall situation has to be "things are worse", which reinforces the book.

I don't know why you're so willfully misreading this.

The project doesn't owe the contributors anything legally in terms of recognition (or payment, etc.) which was the subject being discussed. That's quite obvious from the context.

Nobody ever brought up legal ownership of content at all -- that's 100% your misinterpretation.

In his response, he implies that “detrimental” is a term that would carry some legal weight if they were to sue him for publishing it himself, so it’s essentially a veiled threat. If she were to actually write “I demand that you not publish this”, knowing that he might publish their email convo, it would guarantee that her words prove his point about the censorship.
