That would be really really far fetched. This is an opinion on the risk for democracies of corporate censorship on social medias and new technologies.

And it is not even really politic, because from my reading of it, he was not really taking side.

What I can guess is that some people would have read it wrongly like if he was supporting Trump and his politic just because it is saying that what is done with Trump is not right.
I saw that as a feature of the originals. Without examples, we had to think about them and discuss them to understand why some of them were false, as well as practice being open about our own ignorance.
It has shown to be correlated with better outcomes. It is also correlated with being healthier, being active, and eating better. As far as I understand there is no strong evidence for a causal relationship.

To be clear, if you live in the northern hemisphere, you should be taking vitamin D. It's cheap and at worst harmless. But that's not the same as saying it will improve the outcome of covid patients.

I'm fed up with the widespread adoption of subscription models by consumer companies - I think they tend to pray on people who don't track their usage or forget they signed up.

This was one idea for helping people understand exactly how much they're really spending on subscriptions. Unfortunately I think it's a little long-winded, but part of that is just because so many services now use a subscription model.
I think they're trying to indicate which films from past years are the most popular today. Presumably, ten years from now, the most popular movie from 1974, for example, could be different.

From the name (Every.ID), it aims to be the one app to keep track of everything you collect: domain names, postage stamps, games, etc.

I personally use it to keep track of my domain names, people I want to keep tabs of (sort of like mini CRM), software subscriptions, and lifetime deals purchased from AppSumo.

No, OP was very clear about what the word “coup” meant from the beginning. You don’t get to decry “moving the goal posts” when everyone demands that you put the goalposts back after you moved them.
I halfway agree, but storing planes in the desert for a while is a pretty standard thing, so we know how to do this, and it's not like we're bringing the entire fleet back over a month; it'll be more gradual.

It's weird how people treat social media as somehow very different than other types of media.

If someone in your town distributed pamphlets telling people to burn down the courthouse, they'd probably faces charged or be censured. Most people would agree with this, or at least, the idea that there are consequences for some kinds of speech actions. Freedom of speech has limits whether it's First amendment or just the general idea of freedom.

Why is social media any different?
A personal assistant for the desktop computer called Deus. Cross-platforn and open source here: https://github.com/nuttyartist/deus, https://awesomenessnotes.wixsite.com/website-5 (didn't update it for a long time)

Code is in C++ using Qt. Uses Porcupine for wake-up-word detection and Google API's for speech-to-text and text-to-speech.

It can play music, move your windows, you can shout google searches at it, tell it open Gmail, take screenshots, etc.

After launching it I found people didn't find it useful, including myself, after some time. Still, I open sourced it in case somebody will find it interesting. I loved developing the NLP engine part using tree structure to load the database and travel on it to find the most suitable command based on the user input.

Moved on to the next idea (:
This just shows how terribly wrong it was to let a very small number of browser developers steadily increase the complexity of browser standards and lock out all independent competition. It's more urgent now than ever before to throw away all this baggage and start a WWW2 without these politicized entities and with lean clients maintainable by small groups of people.

If you disagree, please consider being in the same situation with the political inclinations reversed, or just in another country where you disagree with the government but Mozilla doesn't.
Can you be upset and disavow what someone says but still support them? The instant someone says something "bad" they should be just thrown out?

I don't agree with a lot of what Trump says, but I don't hold him accountable for others' actions unless he specifically called for violence which I don't think he did in this case. He does say some questionable things, but has always disavowed violence on both sides.

Obama has promulgated lots of anti-police rhetoric, and there are some who would blame him for certain attacks on police. I disagree with things he said, but would not blame him for any of that.
This is cool! Ran it on one of my pages, the preview shows some JavaScript at the bottom, not sure where you’re pulling that text from.
While the events of 1/6 are hardly justifiable, I find it deeply troubling that the same crowd who was calling for the abolition of the police a few months ago is now earnestly encouraging informing on their own friends, family, and neighbors because they deserve to be punished and most importantly, humiliated. I hardly believe the FBI needs any assistance in locating anyone, but I fear this is settling a troubling precedent that has not been seen since 20th century Europe.

In the months and years to come, we must try to not forget that the government exists solely for the benefit of its constituents, not the other way around.

The ruled class, red and blue, does not want freedom from oppression, they want to be the oppressors.
I am damn sure that National security apparatus in India is running around - and planning their own splinter-net. Why do you need American intermediaries whose Terms of Service that @PMOIndia have to communicate mostly with Indians.

Within American set up, we can talk about SV and its biases, but people in New Delhi, Tel Aviv etc. who consider them regional powers are burning midnight oil, to avoid fate of Trump.

Its either Government that regulates the Big Tech or Big Tech regulate the Government, in America - the die is cast, but others, do not want foreign national curate their culture and national dialogue.

How often did CNN cut-off a live transmission of POTUS speech to interject that POTUS is literally lying before Trump came along?
President is not dependent on twitter, just like his predecessors were not. The president can make official and unofficial announcements.
Right or wrong, power dynamics and censorship aside:

Remember that these platforms:

* have a lot of insight that we don't, even into private (generally unencrypted) messages

* are most likely in some kind of talks around how to handle certain things as an industry

* have bidirectional information channels with 3-letter agencies

I'm thinking they have caught wind of something that they want to prevent from happening or escalating. For example, other events (terrorist attacks? coup?) are being planned, and recruiting and coordination is taking place on their platforms.
> It seems like it favours memorizing things and certain patterns.

I think this is broadly true. Probably not for all of medicine but generally speaking it is.

I recently started having a relapse of debilitating cluster headaches for a couple of weeks for the first time in about a half a decade (maybe longer). I tried avoiding all the typical triggers: Caffeine, chocolate, dust, smoke (difficult in winter when the neighbors love their fires), etc. Nothing worked.

Then I remembered: Ah hah! Sinus infections. I'd forgotten that the underlying trigger for me almost 90% of the time is a sinus infection I didn't notice that got out of hand. About halfway through a course of antibiotics the headaches have largely subsided.

Problem is that my sinus infections never seem to manifest typically, probably due to anatomical abnormalities. This typically means that a week or longer of back-and-forth "we don't see anything wrong" with the doctor worsens the problem until the pressure and pain builds up to a point that touching anywhere near the sinuses is very unpleasant. The best preventative measure I have, and probably the reason I avoided them for so long, is to do regular sinus irrigation. I lapsed about 6 months ago and stopped doing it--whoops.

Most practitioners are fine if you fit the majority of cases and the literature. If you deviate outside that, it's much more difficult to diagnose for the reasons you highlighted regarding complex systems. Humans just suck at it.

I don't have much advice other than to learn and know your own body. You probably know it better than any doctor. But you also need to become your own advocate if you think something isn't quite right and you need some help!

Trump is indeed the President - not a king nor a dictator. His powers are limited and in this case he cannot force a private enterprise to host his private, i.e. non official, statements/comments.

Trump has a multitude of other venues to use if he wants to disseminate his statements private or official.
One of the most intelligent programmers who has been in the game since the early 80s posted the he is refusing to ever vote again till he knows his vote isn't stolen.

They WON in 2016 House Senate and Presidential and claimed MILLIONS of votes were fraud and the commission setup by Republicans found nothing and went away.

2018 They kept the Senate and lost the house by a smaller number then anticipated

2020 Republicans WON seats though it was expected to lose seats. They "Kept the Senate" just had a run off in Georgia. November 2020 was a good night for Republicans minus President Trump who is a love him or hate him person. Republicans didn't vote for Trump and is why he is out.
Both things could be true.

Surely investment in monocrops is affecting wild bee population?

If the pesticides affect farmed bee populations, why shouldn't they in term have the same affect on wild bees? Isn't their physiology going to be the same (or very similar)?

I don't understand what you're trying to say?
I believe the studies, but my question is why do we let the health system suffer if there is such a simple solution? Why isn't "take vitamin D" in the same list as "wash your hands often" and "keep distance"?
So, if both left- and right-leaning people are "completely done" with free speech, we're headed for good times, right?
Depends on the definition of "emergency". Surely the torries will hold their promise and enforce stricter nature protection standards than the EU — absolutely no doubt about it given their track record both when it comes to environmental protection and to keeping promises.
I like the white-space: pre-line trick and very much like the omission of unnecessary <html> and <head> tags as the parsing of such valid source is neatly prescibed.

yup.

If you flip a coin 10 times, there is less than a 5% chance you will get 3 or fewer tails -- so if you do, that looks "statistically significant" that you have a weighted coin (which still doesn't guarantee it).

But if 500 people in different places flip a coin 10 times, what are the chances at least one of them will get 3 or fewer tails? Oops. It doesn't mean your chances of having a weighted coin went up.
Exactly, the DC-X was a reusable design from the early 1990s. The feasibility was there, the next hurdle was economics.

My perception, as a child of the 90s, is that the quality of mainstream news has dropped a lot since then, especially in the last ten years or so. I wonder if that’s really true though, or if its just the product of my own age and the availability of other sources of information.

I too was toying with a similar idea, but was finding the devil was in the details.

For instance, you want to sort by publish date, which isn't the same as file creation date. If you add it to the file name, to sort by that, then you can no longer use file names for urls, at least without some transformation.

So I was really curious how others were dealing with that in a clean way.

I was with you for a lot of this post. However, I'm curious how one can say that "Beekeepers as a service" are harmed and not wild bees. How would wild bees be distinct from harm? It's not like a virus that harms humans distinguishes populations. How does this harm one group and not the other?

The syntax has improved slightly in recent releases with the target family of commands. You just have to know what legacy parts to avoid which is itself a burden. Still it beats digging into the bowels of autotools.

I do fantasize about a new Cmake frontend implemented with Tcl scripting. That would be far more consistent and flexible and you can disable much of the language by default to minimize footbullets then allow commands to be reenabled for times they're needed.
Upside - not so many knuckle draggers having access to cheap phones, unlimited internet and limited intellect. All these "anti" movements and everyones-aunt-with-opinion would not exist, which would be better for everyone's mental health.
Not just that there is a clinical trial done in spain where giving vitamin D as metabolized clearly improved covid19 patient outcomes.
I'm not sure how many more times we need to "debate" this on HN. These articles just get posted over and over, and then people hop straight into the comments to vent their feelings which aren't really unique to the article in any way.

I'm not clear what the point is, the types of comments I see in these threads aren't remotely persuasive, and I imagine the people who do have more nuanced takes have little interest in participating in these little melees. It just seems like a little whirlpool for angry people to shout their frustrations into the void again.
Very cool

What do you think about the apocalypse story that a person uses something like this to make a virus worse than covid? (or the AI fears but with bio)
“Defund the police” (in general) doesn’t mean “don’t stop any crimes”.

It means things like “maybe we don’t need armed people to give tickets to drivers with a busted headlight” and “if we put more funds into mental health crisis teams we won’t have to send as many cops to violent incidents”.

There are full-on police abolitionists, but they’re far fewer in number.
