I appreciate your method of breaking down the problem. I'm still stuck on the idea of using different materials but after applying your thought process I think a gelatin coating may solve the lubrication issue and possibly allow a topical numming agent like Ambesol or anti inflammatory to be infused in the gelatin layer.

It is possible that because my procedure ran longer than expected due to complications, they either had to reinsert a different tube or the tube they used was not designed to be used for that long.

I had my gallbladder removed and unfortunately some of the gallstones got stuck in the bile ducts and they had to chase them down. This turned a 45 minute procedure into a 3 1/2 hour operation and once finished it took another 2 hours to wake up.

Radicalization doesn’t just happen it has to make deep intuitive sense to that person based on their own prejudice.

I was the kind of scrub who had anger problems. I went to tournaments and blew up or
coped with anger pushed down and turned rancid. It wasn't being mad at people who were better at me, it was being mad at myself for not being better. I used losing as an excuse to self-flagellate. Trying harder to be competitive was utterly counterproductive.

Going on testosterone blockers helped a little bit, but really it was important for me to realize that this was a manifestation of a real emotional problem I had. It was also important for me to realize that while it was my responsibility to cope with, there is no possible way it could have been my fault. I'd been pushed and prodded to be the best at everything I did since I was three years old, so naturally I cultivated my experiences accordingly. I didn't ask for that. I've had to learn to see the way I see the world as a bunch of adaptations to a profoundly inhumane environment, and that makes it a little more possible to deconstruct them.

My inner critic is an introject of my emotionally neglectful and sometimes abusive parents and the teachers I had when I was very young, all of whom had the same utterly unreasonable expectations of me. "Git gud" doesn't have a time limit attached. Maybe, when people say that, you should be hearing "git better." Maybe you need to git gud at gitting gud. Question your beliefs. Interrogate the notion that you're unworthy of self-compassion because you're Bad At Something. Physically scream at it if you have to. Say, "Get out of my fucking head," and hold what's left gently and say "it's okay." Let yourself cry. It's okay.

Find more things to suck at. Sucking at stuff is punk as hell.

Well, I could simply point to the entirety of Taibbi's article. Or even just the headline and sub-headline: "[It's] Un-American, Wrong, and Will Backfire. Silicon Valley couldn't have designed a better way to further radicalize Trump voters." Many of the points I might make, Taibbi did so in his article.

For the sake of novelty, I'll make a different point: I see one way in which YouTube may have promoted democracy: by making their odiousness more clear (and in a public, "everyone knows that everyone knows" way), they may have encouraged quicker production or adoption of alternative platforms. This seems unlikely, because websites like them have done lots of crappy stuff before, without usually causing much effect; but it is possible that this may be seen as enough of a "They've declared war on the entire right wing" to motivate a significant migration. Two partisan platforms is better than one, for democracy and just for competition. (Better yet would be either a platform that has made some kind of enforceable and very-painful-to-break commitment to neutrality, or some kind of decentralized system that no single company or party can decide to censor. We may get there eventually.)
Jef Raskin—who led the Macintosh project for the first year (though apparently the design was changed further later on)—worked afterwards on a concept that incorporated typed-in natural-language commands. In his Archy, commands were part of an unorthodox GUI system.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archy

Archy clearly hails from the eighties when it was still imaginable to change users' workflow with desktop computers—that users would type a command while holding a special key (also apparently the author wasn't a touch typist).

The commands feature, isolated, was later adapted by Jef's son Aza Raskin, first as Enso (if I'm not mistaken), and then as a Firefox extension Ubiquity.

But can’t you just question the need for a hammer in the first place. You don’t need one if you don’t have nails. You don’t need nails if you find a better way to fasten things. That’s the job to be done. Soo instead of a better hammer, let’s get rid of the nails. And with it goes the entire industry.
There's some value to their fear. I share some of it too.

These are some of the fastest-to-market vaccines ever produced. Some were also developed with technology never used before at this scale.

There's some nuance to the fear though - for example, once frontline, health workers and people like Dr Fauci are vaccinated, and it becomes clear that these are at least as safe as flu vaccines, I'll also likely take one, if only for the sole reason that I sorely miss travel.
The article on HN about the ban got something like 3 /thousand/ comments, very high for HN. I don't think these people are out of the mainstream, I think a big nerve was hit.

I wouldn't describe it that way. Beyerdynamic has some models which are generally reasonably performant for their price range and widely recommended when people are starting out. If I were to think of a brand that's like the "Apple" of studio headphones, it'd probably be Sennheiser, although they also make some very high quality products.

For the $500 a pair of Airpods Max is going to cost, though, you can get some /serious/ headphones, that gets you straight out of dynamic transducers and into the entry grade planar magnetic and even entry electrostatic earphones.

There's simply no reason to spend that much on Airpods Max compared to the available market if you actually care about performance and sound quality.

Remember when the CDC was considered the world’s absolutely top infectious disease center? Remember when they couldn’t even ship COVID test kits with uncontaminated distilled water?

Remember when the FDA wouldn’t let public or private labs run their own COVID tests and everything was being shipped to CDC headquarters to PCR?

The CDC and the FDA essentially guaranteed through extraordinary ineptitude that the US would not fend off COVID back in January/February. They deserve zero benefit of the doubt.

The FDA’s 70 years of process likely worked against them here. What I can say for certain is that there was a t-minus one, the day before the results were unblinded, and there was a t-zero, the day results were unblinded. On that day t-zero they uncovered which of the patient IDs got the vaccine versus which got placebo.

No expense should have been spared in preloading the analysis, verification, whatever could have been done, it should have been done up until t-minus-1. On day t-zero you get 15,000 patient IDs in column A and 15,000 in column B, that’s the only new thing you learn that day. There should be nothing new to talk about or discuss, the approval criteria should already be set in stone. Check the IDs and launch.
The red scare didn't end with the advent anonymity, but rather it was ended by the checks and balances within the government belatedly stepping up to the plate.

Joe McCarthy was censured by congress and fell out of political favour. Furthermore, the Supreme Court handed down a number of decisions that greatly reduced the scope of the government's ability to penalise supporters of communism such as: Yates v. United States, Scales v. United States, and United States v. Robel. This is how such matters should be tackled in a free society, rather than coming up with elaborate mechanisms to hide our views from the government.
Most of the non-SpaceX blocks are areas that have had terabits/sec of fiber running through them for the last decade as part of long-haul intercity links. Since the last mile(s) of rural fiber is so much cheaper than the last mile of urban fiber [1] this is a massive windfall for the telephone companies.

The FCC created some very perverse incentives with this auction. They actually made it more profitable for telcos to leave intercity fiber unused than to splice a strand to serve the neighborhood it passes through, no matter how little the splice would cost. This led many providers (cough cough CenturyLink cough) to refuse to use or even license their fiber until they could scoop up this cash first. If even one residence in the block has service above 25mbit/sec the whole block is taken out of the auction.

>So why not learn it in a week then apply for the job?

For a lot of reasons. I'm not looking to work in compilers. OP sounds like the opposite of the type of people I want to work with. I enjoy what I work on quite a bit. I am paid well. I have the chance to build up the business and a team.

It is just an attitude that I see a lot. The candidate doesn't have XYZ specific knowledge. Find someone who is interested and motivated (e.g. someone who has independently taken an advanced course in a topic) and build them up.

I'm sorry that some candidate can't answer your trivia question, but if it could be taught in a 16 week course (~10 hours / week), you could find a way to convey it on the job (~40 hours / week) in a much shorter period of time.

For this scenario have new hires work through a series of designed problems. Have them implement and run into the pitfalls with LL, LR, and Packrat parsers. Show issues with left recursion, shift / reduce conflicts, space trade offs of Packrat, seriously whatever you want to demonstrate.

Even just write up a document explaining when to use each rather than bemoaning the lack of knowledge. Like how much cooler would the top comment in this thread have been if I had learnt something?

This feels a lot like "I want a candidate with the knowledge of a senior for the price of a recent grad".
> And yet the solution to a negative can still itself be the cause of equal or greater negatives.

Cracking down on anti-election rhetoric is an obvious net positive, and needs no further explanation.

> Because the Government cracking down on speech, even obvious lies, will erode some people's trust in the system as well.

Too late for that. Dozens of millions of Americans have lost faith in the 2020 election. The only concern from my perspective is to stop the obvious bleeding: we must stop the false anti-election rhetoric before it poisons the minds of even more.

The lies are winning right now. Be it masks, election fraud, mail-in ballots, or whatever. My sister's father in law believes that COVID is a hoax, I have coworkers who don't think masks help and my mom thinks Obama is a Muslim born in Kenya. I've seen enough lies, and I've lost faith that these people can have their vision cleared with the truth. My sister thinks the vaccine may hurt more than it may help and is avoiding the vaccine.

Its clear that misinformation is running amok and nothing is stopping it. The naive "debate with them" perspective goes literally no where, have you ever tried?
It is not contradictory to be intolerant of the intolerant. To allow free speech for those who call for such repugnant lies is to tacitly accept them.

Likewise, no government should allow for parties that would destroy itself - yet here America is, falling apart.

Yeah at the time I read the English translation, I was just starting to learn Latin and had only the most basic proficiency.
It's also a series of small choices that seem even smaller given the situation and timescale. Everyone has their own story, but I've heard this one too many times. Imagine this is over the course of years:

- You feel chemically great due to this pill

- The pill stops working so well

- You find out, despite the scary name, that heroin is basically the same thing as the pill but a whole lot cheaper

- You're hanging out with the people you've met that do the same drug, and one of them offers to IV for you

- You debate it, but end up trying it at home

This is, of course, an oversimplification.

The opioid crisis was so awful because many people got to step 2 without realizing the path they were going down, and when the doctor/dea cut them off, it was easier to go down one step than go back. There should have been massive support in place.

Stay safe everyone, please.
What kind of computation do you think it is they are doing on this data? Seriously, it takes at MOST a week to do an extremely deep code review of this. It's not like this is some brand new testing methodology developed ad hoc for this.

That is taken out of context. The prior sentence pointed out, "we calculate that the 2020 American population of 330 million people has on average..."

The calculation you reference was done using all people in the US. Just two sentences later they wrote, "... would on average lose about 0.2 y of remaining life ..." You need to compare to the groups of affected people, which is generally not 100% of people in the US.
lol no. Windows on ARM has existed for many years now. And running x86-32 apps on ARM has also been around for a while. This is just the public announcement of also supporting x86-64 apps on ARM (AArch64 specifically). This was in the works before Apple announced its move to ARM.
This actually seems pretty damning for pornhub as the 118 were reported by an external entity where Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter are self reported and removed.

So according to their own stats, pornhub has zero self reports. They describe a few technologies used and it seems reasonable that they would report how many times these technologies identified and removed content.

That they aren’t presenting this data in their defense is not a good sign.

> Does this argument work without the "all pesticides are bad" assumption? I searched up bt gene's use in pesticides[1] and it looks pretty safe.

Its referring to herbicide-resistant GMO crops where the pesticides are Roundup or Liberty. With regard to Bt, there's a big difference between topical application of Bt and GMO Bt corn (where the Bt is produced inside the plant so bugs are poisoned by the plant).

> "all pesticides are bad" assumption

Its more of a heuristic where we assume that things that are bad for biological organisms are bad for biological organisms because molecules don't make decisions about what to react with, they react with anything that forms the right molecular bonds. Since the biosphere has a lot of bimolecular pathways its not possible to categorically test everything and catalog all the possible reactions, we just know we can limit the amount of unwanted reactions by using the minimum amount of pesticide.

> As opposed to the natural gene pool being constantly polluted by spontaneous mutations?

They aren't in opposition because mutations don't stop when you start polluting the gene pool with GMO products.

> Or is that fine because of the naturalistic fallacy?

Its an application of the precautionary principle where we act in such a manner to create the least possibility of harm because the scope and extent of the effects are not known.

> AFAIK this is a non-issue except to the farmers.

Yes its a problem for the farmers because they can no longer rely on the herbicide to control those competitor organisms, which was the entire point of using a selective herbicide / GMO crop system.

With regard to the ecosystem disruption due to pesticide runoff, its an issue for anyone who is dependent on the biosphere because of the harmful effects on biodiversity.
I also want to compliment you on the format.

I don't think inflating would work, since it's a tube. Maybe you could achieve the same thing with a sort of skeleton inside the tube that can push it to different widths.

This is an extremely bizzare argument.

Firstly, the op like myself would have been against all those disasters of democracy as well.

Secondly, you're using things we deemed reprehensible enough to stop doing, outlaw, or repeal as an excuse to now do something in kind.

Op seems to have learned from those mistakes, why are you trying to use them to justify making new ones?

> Why is it that we have to ignore nuances in these arguments?

I very much agree. Why can't you understand that just because we've never had perfectly free speech, that maybe it's still worth fighting for most of the time. And that a few counter examples do not therefore equate to free speech being something unworthy of protecting.
This is exactly how California was a red state during the silicon boom and then turned into a blue state thereafter. Everything gets expensive and then people look to the government.
I MUCH prefer links because it doesn't enforce a mandatory 1-2 second punishment every time there is a warning or message of some sort.
>Finally, Heroin - by peculiar mechanism - robs the addict of his metaphysical vitality - I am being quite serious. People in the throes of addiction are no longer fully human - in the sense that their capacity to feel, to value LIFE itself or the myriad rewards of living in the world.

These words resonate deeply with me. I watched a person I knew closely gradually descend into addiction - first oxy, then heroin. The particular way in which opioids diminish a man is profound and horrifying
Another somewhat similar Python library, but logs to a /tmp file: https://github.com/zestyping/q
I've recently gone for surgery for the first time in my life, and was treated with the standard cocktail of fentanyl+propofol for anaesthesia, making it also my first time on an opioid (and a strong one at that). The way it works is that you get the fentanyl first, and then shortly after the propofol.

It wasn't exactly pleasant. In fact in the time before propofol kicked me out I even said out loud something to the tune of "Hmm, so that's what opioids are like. I do not like them". It was exactly as the OP describes, you just kind of cease to exist / reduce your presence, if that makes any sense. It was more like the 2001 scene when HAL says that "my mind is going, I can feel it".
The poster meant bigoted. This is pedantic.
