There is no way to eliminate these doubts. If you made a magical cure that totally eliminated the bacteria that causes Lyme disease, then these patients would take it, and it would almost certainly not work (because "chronic Lyme" isn't a real syndrome, and these patients don't have this bacteria). However, that would not convince them, they'd just claim that the medical establishment has failed them yet again (or worse: they become anti-vaxxers). You can't treat fictitious diseases with real drugs.
Indeed. There's no point in doing all of what the OP did.

IPv6 was finalized in 2017.

In 2020 Europe ran out of IPv4 addresses, and many Asian countries never had enough of them to start with (so quite a bit of people are effectively IPv6-only already).

An "I"SP that doesn't provide a /48 or /56 IPv6, shouldn't be legally allowed to advertise that they are providing "Internet" (and technically/historically, they're actually providing ARPANET, IPv4 having been supposed to be only a temporary, experimental version.).

And just like it was done for obsolete TV technologies, laws should be put in place first outlawing hardware that isn't compatible with IPv6, then later hardware compatible with IPv4.
In real world, privately owned public places like mall have their own rules and security (often with lethal weapons). They reserve the right to kick you out, use force if believe you are a present threat, and may block you from coming back in future.
I can nod to probably 90% of this just in my own experience working for a large corporation. We get a lot of mid-corporate turnover and it every time one takes over it seems that we quickly find things being changed for no reason, only for it to happen again in 6-24 months when the next passing of the baton occurs.

IIRC we're on our fifth or sixth vice president in the 15 years I've been there and the tiers immediately below that have turned over similarly with people promoting in and out from other opcos, or even from competing companies.

It has never made sense to me. One would think you'd want consistency for long-term plans, only replacing someone if they retire/are horribly ineffective.
I think they didn't even put the boot on yet. Looks like the message is that we better shut up by the time they are finished tying the laces.

Same as Covid - getting a flu is a real ordeal for most people with days of fever and myalgia and if you pass it to your elderly relatives there's a chance it will kill them.

The vaccine is harmless both for you and your elderly relatives, so it is (a) smart to get it to avoid suffering yourself and (b) socially responsible to get it to lessen its spread to people it will kill.
comparing all the stocks, seeing that only tesla is in a stable curve near the end, leads me to the following conclusion: Both Tesla and Bitcoin are heavily overpriced!
> illegal, incites violence

Who decides what these terms mean? At present its a small group of left-leaning corporate executives.

At the moment it just seems like people doing their own interpretation of what someone's inner motives are, because I really can't see a clear cut example of incitement of violence from any of this. This to me is a perfect example of the term "thought police" - we are guessing what your thinking.

E.g. Steve Bannon putting "heads on pikes" is clearly a common figure of speech and simply an emotive expression of anger. I'm sure you can find many politicians expressing similar things..."let's punch nazis" etc. Sounds like it can't cause harm...but what if you are called a Nazi and you are not? Every single atrocity in history comes from a group of people being portrayed as something they are not and then dehumanized because of it.

"Trump supporters" are incredibly dehumanized at present. They are nazis, racists, etc. It's okay to mistreat them because they are really bad people.

70mm people voted for Trump, and would probably disagree with the interpretations of the free speech violations. Do we actually believe a democratic process would result in a decision to permanently censor? No way.

All you have to do is imagine the reverse situation by swapping the two sides and imagining how you would feel.

Would you ever be okay having your speech taken away from you from a side that you disagree with? You might say "but I would never incite hatred", but what if they say you do?
This is the exact thing a fascist would say. A liberal would never say this. If you want to censor someone's speech just because you don't agree with them, congratulations you are already a fascist.
Maybe they could offer you IPv6 cheaper?
How do you self-defend without violence?

I host my own TS3 server. It uses significantly less resources than the Discord client, has better audio (at least my friends sound better) and data is not going to Discord for whatever they're using data for. In case there's an issues with my Teamspeak server, I can solve it, instead of waiting for Discord.
And in our other cities it's still way cheaper (and socially acceptable) to drive in from the suburbs and park.

There are car parks literally 200m from the centre of Birmingham where you can park all day for less than 10 pounds, and cheaper still nearby.

Things are starting to change (oddly during COVID) by addition of bus gates, but they're making very slow progress. We've already delayed and diluted our congestion charge multiple times.
Who's the they in this poem? The Nazis, right? If only somebody had "come for" the Nazis before millions of people got killed. You can't cite Niemoller in the defence of fascists.

Metric Spaces and How to Compare Them
I agree 100%. It’s all about talent. The existence of the TN visa ensures this will continue to be a problem until founders/investors learn this lesson. Any Canadian university graduate can go work as a “computer system analyst” (but not a programmer wink wink) in the US at anytime. That means we are constantly competing with US startups for talent, any salary advantage you think you have is because your best team members haven’t realized that yet.
The recent presidential race was won by extremely narrow margins with a few cities (Atlanta, Philadelphia, Phoenix, etc) effectively determining the outcome.

Given that, why does the fraud have to be widespread and systematic in order to be valid? Also, why silence or dismiss even the smallest amount of fraud? It definitely matters regardless of which party/politician benefits.

It's also very different if you shade the target disease tests, or of an unrelated pathogen. You'd only need to test positive before to rule out infection. It's not like your HIV status is known to anyone else, so it's a matter of information management, not risk inherently.

If we get an HIV vaccine it may also be therapeutic for HIV+ people. So far vaccine development wasn't getting anywhere because we're at loss with the nature of the virus. _If we find a persistent target, HIV may burn out in those infected and vaccinated. Seroconversion may then be something to look forward to.

One thing Chinese billionaires have is the freedom to leave (at least until they get in trouble). This precedent seems to make it clear that once you have amassed that much power and wealth, it would be crazy to stay in China.

Or maybe in order to archive such success in China one must have connections to people in high places and people with said connections can't imaging their connections turning on them.
If by "realign our economic priorities" you are implying we forcibly reallocate asset ownership and/or the associated economic benefit from growth of owned assets - this is the cornerstone of a private industry based economy. Every single successful country in the modern world is based on fundamental protections for asset ownership and investment risk.

To throw this out would destroy an economy and have drastic impacts on actual quality of life.
It's a huge issue that may well wipe out humanity, but no one knows when it may hit and it's hard to explain so it's understandable you find it hard to relate.

> If you think this is about Trump's freedom to tweet, you've sorely missed the point

I really haven't. Trump is the only western leader to have been banned from the mainstream social media platforms. You can't claim this is the thin end of the wedge, this is a reaction [by those platforms] to the risks to western democracy in its entirety. They gave him four years of rope to hang himself with, it was only a direct attack on democracy itself that caused this action.

> If a handful of corporations with mostly homogeneous ideologies control who is allowed to talk to the public, then we don't have any real choice when it comes time to vote.

Trump has all the means of communication that any previous president has had. All he has to do is stand at a lectern and talk and it will be broadcast on national television.

Again, he wouldn't have lost the access that he had if he hadn't tried to directly attack the entire system of democracy itself. All the other lies he's told over the years were allowed to be seen.

> corporate dictatorship

That's a laughable leap, sorry. If he hadn't incited a violent insurrection, and if he wasn't a few days away from the end of his tenure then we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Let me put this another way. Do you think everybody, no matter what harms they cause, deserve a voice on all platforms? Would you expect Twitter to host the voice of Hitler?

Ultimately, they are private companies, they have no obligation to balance, fairness, access. It seems the state forcing corporations to do their bidding would be far more of a slippery slope than the president, who has tried to actually destroy democratic process, being banned from a platform.
> Twitter/Facebook/Google et all are not Sovereign States.

In the cyberpunk future, megacorps are sovereign. If the next wave of demonstrations was aimed at the HQs of these corporations instead of US govt buildings, the corporations might feel a need to start building their own security forces, too.

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

"Megacorps are so powerful that they can ignore the law, possess their own heavily armed (often military-sized) private armies, be the operator of a privatized police force, hold "sovereign" territory, and even act as outright governments."
Proving that an algorithm will do no harm is exactly the same as proving that an algorithm terminates: in both cases, we are trying to know the output of the program without running it. We may prove some programs, but we can't have a generic algorithm that does so.

And thus, if we have a program that represents an AI, we can't prove that it is ok to use it or not.

However, the problem is not the AI itself, it's the humans that feed problems to it to solve.

As the paper says, one example is 'make the world a happy place'. This can lead an AI to destroy all humans. But the problem is actually the specification of the problem, which is insufficient.

Again, the problem is us humans, and not the AI.

The only problem with AI is when AI gets a physical body and needs to survive competing with the rest of us: if it is a super intelligence, it will thrive despite all the humans' effort to contain it.

:: shortcuts or domain names. Also, AFAIK you're not supposed to be using fixed IPv6 suffixes, for security reasons.

(Some people even advocate that consumer router IPv6 firewalls should be opt-in – which millions of them still are – and as you can guess with how opt-in works with consumers, the overwhelming majority of them therefore use IPv6 without a firewall.)
50% effective vaccine could lower R0 of 2.5 to 1.25 (2.5 * 50% = 1.25). That's R0 > 1, so it can't stop transmission.
>Sure, Europe does better in these statistics, but in the real world, US gives its workers way better odds at getting to the top and that's coming from an European.

This quote screams brainwashing by American media to me. Americans (and those that consume their media) are told from childhood that they are the only country where it is possible to move from the bottom to the top. Outside observers can clearly see that this is not the case, but when presented with hard evidence to the contrary it is simply dismissed as some untruth without any critical thought.
It was normal in the US in the 70s and 80s for young children to walk (and maybe bike) to school. Definitely not normal now unless they are being escorted by a parent or babysitter. A lot depends on where the school is sited relative to the students' homes and the trend in the US is for schools to be on very large lots and surrounded by parking lots.
The problem is that neither latency nor async would explain out of order arrival of events. So even now your explanation seems nonsensical.
> Its a bit ironic, China didn't want to be beholden to anyone and buggered off and built their own... meanwhile, the rest of the world whines - but doesn't seem to be interested in building anything similar for national infrastructure.

Maybe the alphabets, the culture, the political regime and the available funds make it possibly successful for China.

Most of the time, the “there can be only one” rule seems to apply. We may live to see the day where the giant US proprietary networks morph into some kind of federated “national” networks, with different set of legal rules. Somehow reminiscent of email, dns, xmpp...

There doesn’t seem to be an easy fix or alternatives to Twitter or Facebook.

> It is as foolish as trying to have a scientific investigation about who is beautiful and who isn't.

We actually do have these investigations, and there is a scientific quantification of what is and isn't beautiful. Symmetry is a significant factor, but there are others - many others. Nancy Etcoff's research delves into this - she even wrote a book about it - Survival of the Prettiest: The Science of Beauty.
Facebook is absolutely not disconnected from their userbase - their product is great at addressing their user's needs.

There are many problems with Facebook, including being disconnected with the law/regulations, ethics and morals, but being disconnected from their userbase is not that.

Regarding "wokeness", this is not specific to Facebook per-se and is commonplace in the startup/tech world where the majority of companies make their revenue from intangible things such as "growth and engagement" which bad PR (or just a loud minority) would adversely affect. Wokeness is not usually a thing in companies which have a competitive edge and a real product people buy because their revenue isn't entirely dependent on public opinion and their competitive edge means it's hard/impossible to replace their product with a competitor's (assuming there are competitors even).

Don't these mute buttons defeat the purpose of these devices in the first place?

If I want to do what generally amounts to a google search it's generally easier to pull out my phone than walk over to the device, flip a switch, and speak.
Right. Comparing the privacy card on the Apple App Store for WhatsApp and signal is very instructive. WA collects as much data as it can from your phone, signal collects your phone number and that’s it. There is no reason for WA to do that other than mining the shit out of the data. But it’s true, it can’t see your messages. Except that’s only part of the issue. WA and FB refuse to address this because selling their user data is their lifeblood.

I’m glad they’ve changed their privacy policy and force users to accept or delete. I have tried for years to tell people to drop WA with very little effect. In the last week, many have created a signal account. So thanks WA-FB, keep up the good work!
People are not making up illness for the fun of it. Their ailments are very real and they have a cause.

Malingering exists, but the profile of the chronic Lyme patients you speak about is not at all the one of persons in need of being nursed by the society like babies...

Just imagine you go to the doctor and all you say is dismissed because he thinks you make it up? What a despair you would be in! Speaking of a closed logical system your physician would be in! The same kind as the ones making famous conspiracy theories.

"I had <insert illness> and I was not taken seriously for <X> years" is such a recurrent theme that it is very concerning.

Just recently, the "long covid" was very much mocked by smug doctors. Imagine the distress of the patients.

You're wrong, these patients just failback on Lyme as a default and would be very pleased to discover the real causes of their ailments if it was found. To suppose that people are that much irrational and to generalize to this extent is... sorry but I am shocked.

In medicine, a golden rule is always assume your patient is honest in describing his problems.

Finally, contrary to what you said, the problem is not outside of the real world. Just as a link was proved between some tickborne pathogens and red meat allergy, you cannot exclude that one day a scientific team would prove that under some conditions the borreliosis provokes an autoimmune illness. And such a study would most likely point towards chemical markers to look for in blood and, at last, be able to diagnose it with certitude.
This common in the UK for 'anyone' accused of a serious offence.
5G benefits IIoT and edge processing, and there is little that suggests that 5G is more secure than 4G. It still has the same flaws but only the data rate is so huge that only a well funded and sophisticated lab has the ability to conduct research, but reduces access to doing research for most.

5G has even bigger implications on defense outside the small niche (of MIL spec) smart-phones. The risks are massive for a military to rely on such a consumer-grade tech. But never mind bug/back-doors Trusting foreign (multinational) vendors with this (no matter how friendly) will never work because the trust assumption beneath is already flawed.

What is weirdest about this whole thing is that Trump remains one of the most speech empowered people in the world; he can get up at any point and have a press conference, he can plaster messages all over the whitehouse web page etc. So in that light whether or not any specific company chooses to give him even more speech rights -it seems completely discretionary and companies can and should decide what is in their business interests.

I'm also prompted to tell these politicians - well how about you support open platforms and mediums rather than buying into proprietary walled gardens in the first place? It's not like these things don't exist.
