>fascism 2.0 (better, stronger upgraded version, more sneaker and cunning)

I think you're both giving too little credit to the original fascists, and to much credit to the people falling for it a second time. Fascism was plenty good at deception and bending of truths the first time around, and at this point in the second go around, they've stopped being subtle about it.

Remember that a) plenty of people supported the Nazis, and that Hitler's party was voted into power, and

b) people on the left have been pointing out the proto-fascist rhetoric since Trump's first campaign, and moderate liberals are all acting surprised that the neo-fascists are suggesting fascist things (like subverting a democratic election with military force)
There have been some pretty successful unmoderated (centrally) social networks. Email, Usenet, IRC come to mind. The moderation does happen in these but it's self organizing.
Testing the Welfare Magnet Hypothesis
"Pfizer’s and Moderna’s clinical trials of the vaccines, which involved tens of thousands of people, did not find serious adverse events caused by the vaccine. But both studies excluded people with a history of allergies to components of the COVID-19 vaccines; Pfizer also excluded those who previously had a severe adverse reaction from any vaccine. People with previous allergic reactions to food or drugs were not excluded, but may have been underrepresented."

Is this the regular procedure for vaccines clinical trials?

Tips on 4 Monetization Options for Startups
Many businesses fail simply because they ran out of money. With rapid changes in technology, it’s important to review monetization options for startups and SMBs.Here we discuss four monetization models that are often ignored or not optimally applied and how easily they fit into your development plans.
Yes. Because there is theory and case studies to back how often a company like Toyota will fail to pivot
I think we have different views about the process of scripting behaviors, which determines most of our conversation so far. I don't like taking algorithms in my mind, breaking them up into basic blocks by hand, and writing a switch statement in a step handler. I especially don't like iterating on code that has been manually turned inside out in this way. So I do not write any step handlers at all, barring extremely general things like "things move in the direction they are moving."
It's hard to imagine that Apple can take huge amount of profit from B2B parts business. What about to sell e-bike rather than car?
I disagree. This is pretty common and normal. Even Apple and Google work together in certain areas.

We should not rush to judgment here and they can defend themselves.

Google's public image is slightly better than that of Facebook and Twitter.
Apple does not do third party ad tracking.
I remember their original pitch sounding like it made a lot of sense. Fast, cheap, verifiable trading layer for IOUs that can then be settled externally. A lot like how many stock exchanges work. Ended up selling any XRP I had two years ago when things went nuts. Now it looks like people are re-building that whole concept elsewhere and Ripple is becoming irrelevant.

>Anime is not the dominant form of media in Japan, and is largely targeted at a relatively narrow age band

But it seems very popular, out of the top ten highest grossing films in Japan, 5 are anime (Spirited Away, Demon Slayer, Your Name, Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle), and the top two are Spirited Away and Demon Slayer.

In North America's top ten you will only find one animated feature, Incredibles 2, and it is at position ten.
Why does it matter if it is any worse than other viruses? If it's just as bad as the flu or common cold at leaving people with long term health problems, it would still be a major issue that compounds with the death toll, and with similar issues from now less common diseases like influenza.
Those 6 out of 272k people, who exhibited allergic reaction to the vaccine, do they have allergic reaction to the common products like toothpaste and shampoo as well? I did not find that information in the article, but feels like it should be a no-brainer question to ask.
I think functions are a good enough abstraction for many things. A few years ago I tended to make everything a class in Python. Nowadays I rarely need more than functions. Learning Rust made me realize just how arbitrary my aesthetical ideas about code where. When I tried to go the class based object oriented route in Rust it failed spectacularly because I was unable to navigate the maze of ownership in no time. Once I let go of these ideas everything became incredibly straightforward. The spell has been broken.

That being said I think module borders have become more important to me. Keep seperated what is meant to be seperated.
How did you encode messages for (1)? Did you provide instructions? Did you keep a copy?

Have you tried googling something like:
<technical issue> site:reddit.com ?

The results look relevant but often refer to other posts you don’t see if going to the link.

and a site:reddit.com with timestamp (last month etc) is useless now since it apparently uses timestamps off other posts that were visible in the same community once. Driving me avsolutely insane that this one site doesnt give accurate results on google.
We've been given an illusion of choice between a few carefully preselected candidates. Most of positions in today's ballots are like this: a really bad candidate and a bunch of lunatics or outright fakes as an alternative.
I can see the appeal in being able to drift in and out of conversations. The private room dynamic is kinda rigid, I basically have to explicitly secede from one conversation to start another.
Yes, absolutely, and that's the part that bugs me most but I've found that I can work around most of it. For instance, I'm a touch typist and used to be able to type nearly flawless, but now I have to proofread even the smallest communications because there typically will be a couple of obvious errors in it. Highly frustrating. Short term memory issues can be dealt with though note taking.

Now, who is to say that the two are related, this is obviously anecdotal and the one might have easily happened without the other, I had some pretty bad O2 dips though and before everything was fine. So for me the correlation is strong enough to believe there is a connection. But the physical aspect is so strong that for me that is 1:1 related for sure. The mental part is not such an easy to point out difference, it is far more subtle.

Fogginess is an excellent description by the way, that's exactly it.
I guess in any company or startup there comes a place where you have to focus on growth, and this change comes at a cost,

When Facebook introduced the feed, and many features that were bad in privacy but good in growth they all paid out to be good decisions on the long run because they were data driven.

I feel Reddit has come to that point and my assumption is these measures are also data driven

Seven Tips for Building an API [2018]
A lot of words were used in this thread to say precisely one thing:

You are all afraid of being alone.

Every single post on this thread is your inner voice screaming at you and pointing out that something is wrong all the while your outer voice publicly and viciously de-personalizes and others a group of people you dare not associate with.

Not a single one of you do this because you believe it. All of you do this because you MUST do it.

Because, the price of NOT participating in these tactics is expulsion from this forum and beyond.

You know I'm right.
Thats true. Gotta give them credit. This could be a good proof point for derisking the Toyota case. However, Apple is pretty secretive and they often surprise us. There is a lot of design space deviation possible in a complex product like a car. Until we know what that product delta is, we cant really assess Toyota’s ability to pivot quickly enough. Apple wouldnt invest if the delta on what they can offer is small. So should be interesting.
This is awesome and something I've felt could be a (another) killer app for Rust.

If Rust interfaced well with a convenient scripting language that runs fast and safely, the language would morph into a platform where you could quickly prototype in the high level language and then convert well-defined structures to hardened Rust.

It'd be fantastic for games (no wonder the Piston folks are exploring this), web backends, and native apps.

If this reaches the ease of use of Python, I'll never look back.

I read that the 15 minute observation requirement is causing various GPs to turn down the work because they don’t have that kind of time. Presumably it was never expected for all GPs to accept the work but I wonder how widespread it is and what impact it’ll have on the bigger goal.

From her comments, she comes across as a person that uses her sexuality and ethnicity to justify her own agenda.

Another dark pattern they introduced recently are differing flavours of markdown in new and old reddit, resulting in lots of visually broken code snippets for users of old reddit. It might be unintentional (I doubt it), but there's no question that adding new formatting capabilities to reddit, but leaving in the raw source code for users of old reddit is quite a downgrade. I tried switching temporarily to the new design and I still hate it.

The answer is simple; we just pretend it’s not because doing the right thing involves a business giving up money.

Thank you for posting that. So far the treatment has been mostly rest, what I've been told boils down to 'if there is neural damage then it will likely repair itself in time and if not there is nothing we can do about it'.

It's a pretty weird feeling, as if your sharp knife has suddenly gone dull, it is hard to describe the 'before' and 'after' because I'm both subject and observer but it definitely feels off.

The other day there was an article about Alzheimer's stages, and the first stage read like an exact description of what I'm experiencing. We'll see in some time if this is permanent, whether it heals or whether it gets worse. If it stays as it is that would be acceptable, if it heals that would be preferable and the third alternative is one I'd rather not think of.
Containers allow any programming language. Any sets of apt-get installed dependencies.

Low-Effort System Monitoring?
As many of us, I manage around a dozen Linux systems: VMs that run moderately popular websites, bare metal servers for number crunshing, linux-based NASes, a media server, a radio scanner, routers.

And I am struggling to find a low-effort system monitoring tool. Basically a fire-and-forget software that would report degrading disks, overheading, space and memory utilisation spikes and the like. Preferable with mobile UI.
The SEC (an extension of the Federal Reserve) can turn around and declare whatever is useful at any point, as has been observed. There's nothing special or protected about the traded Cryptos, despite the speculation.

If a currency crisis arises and the market is frozen, cryptos will not be on the first lien right to trade for Fed assets (whatever that currency might end up to be) or even continue trading, depending on the decisions of the Fed. Hell, I don't expect the issued currency (cash - which the long tail of people are still using) will have that right...since the Fed board members aren't going to be running around with palettes of cash when buying goods either.
We have the right to bear arms for a reason. Governments will eventually push citizens to a breaking point.

Why don’t we keep going with ballot referendums? It seems like the best proof of concept for change in the modern American political quagmire.

How do you get marijuana legalized? You sure as hell aren’t going to find the political spine in the house/senate/executive to pull it off at the federal level.

The state level also seems to have a scaled down version of the federal quagmire if you rely on the state legislatures to dictate the initiative.

But that ballot referendum just seems to work. People vote, it passes, a state gets what it wants. Then, other states follow suit, and voila, you just scaled something as once-obtuse as marijuana legalization from one state to fifty, effectively replicating federal law.

Now rinse and repeat and get other things passed. It seems like the ultimate short circuit for this circus.
That’s so interesting endurance training increased testosterone more. That’s it, I’m going for a run :-)
They will be regardless. But that's no reason to increase that.
One difference is a 4 year old can't accidentally counterfeit currency. However, there is a real chance that a 4 year old could post a picture.

If only prosecutors were blindfolded, administering "justice" evenly and blindly, without regard for political fallout: "It doesn't matter who posted this cat picture, they must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Oh shit, it's a 4 year old, this isn't going to make 'the land of the free' look very good."

> So the answer has to be to stop the witch hunts in the places where everybody else already is.

Got to be honest, bro, I don't really care to sacrifice for "the good of society" or whatever. If you make a website where some dude is going to post anti-Semitic shit everywhere and someone else is going to have to politely explain that Jewish lizard people are not conspiring to elect a Black woman as President then sure, you can have it.

But that's not a sacrifice I want to make. I'll go to the website where I don't have to do that. And the website will come to me.

Like, I don't see you moving to the ghetto and putting your kids in shitty schools so that you can even things out. This ain't different. I don't like those people at the party, so I'm not gonna go if you invite them. So you pick: them or me?

Either choice is fine. Reddit picked me. Voat picked them. And we are where we are.

Can you explain what you mean by uniformity? I am having a hard time understanding your point; a long random bit string which is sampled from a uniform distribution will, indeed, have a pretty high likelihood of a short run of zeros or ones. You could reject runs (not sure why), but that would make the distribution less uniform, right?
I know you’re joking, but I’m genuinely wondering, would that actually resolve the problem of (then) ancient forgery?

Our proof-of-work difficulty is trivial compared to what’s possible a few thousand years from now. So for people a million years from now to trust our records, they’d also have to trust people a thousand years from now not to simply have forged our part of the blockchain, which might be trivial for them given their hash power.

Honestly, having lived and worked in several single-payer countries, it works really well - I'd even say that it works better than pure state-run systems like the UK
