This is not the typical presentation for Bipolar 1 or 2. The only difference between 1 and 2 is 1 has more prominent manic symptoms/episodes. Both types of Bipolar have mood fluctuations that take place over weeks or months, not within the same day. For example, being manic for a few weeks, then depressed for 3 months, then manic again for a month, and so on. There is such a thing as a "mixed episode", where the patient is both manic and depressed at the same time, and can cycle between the two states extremely rapidly (within the same day, or day to day). But a mixed episode is rather rare.

Anyways, the point is bipolar people have mood swings that are very slow. Rapid mood swings in the same day are not a symptom of bipolar disorder; more likely, this is a symptom of borderline personality disorder. In fact, how rapid the mood swings are is one of the ways bipolar disorder is distinguished from borderline personality disorder.

Speaking from experience as I have been diagnosed with both bipolar disorder and BPD.
Those who support censorship of any kind are unwittingly helping to give birth to the proverbial dystopian overlords that determine how wealth, information, and dopamine are distributed.

Overreaction creates opportunity for actors that seek to tighten social control.

Take from that what you will, but I for one strongly believe that bad ideas can only be fought by better ideas — not by silencing of any ideas, and certainly not by silence itself. Bad ideas fester in darkness, but will wither in the light.

The deliberate practice of revving up the Republican “base” with increasingly extreme, sometimes fabricated issues also started in the 80s (abortion was one of the first divisive issues to be used for this), and steadily increased to the point we’re at now. Trump was a sudden inflection point in that practice, but the “facts don’t matter” groundwork was already set. So when he went nuclear with misinformation, the leadership couldn’t do anything but follow along even when they didn’t like where he was going. Social media is a great accelerator for this process.
They didn't really push one or the other here (UK), they just offered both and explained with one it's 10 minutes in recovery and I'm on my way, with the other I'd need to wait for longer and have someone pick me up and with me.

So I went for the simpler option.
I mean.. reactions to the events that took place at the Capitol.
I don't think you understand how tiny the numbers are for the war people fought.

Like let's assume in my state we take the fairly average assumption of LGBT population at 5%. Now let's also take a marriage rate of 5 per 1000, which is pretty low given that this is a historic opportunity. Even granting this, the actual numbers indicate a rate close to 3 per 1000. This is close to half of the current rates, which are widely seen as historic lows:

This is in a new england state. So it's not something you accuse due to being in the Bible belt. In actual numbers, the impact of gay marriage is fairly tiny. Your friends are outliers. It's actually tiny enough to hurt a lot of compelling reasons for it; state-sanctioned marriage as a tool to help combat gay male promiscuity for one, or any form of economic benefit to it. Ironically SSM wasn't something to worry about because the people who want or need it are small enough a population not to impact anything in practice; it was more of an ideological issue it seems.

As for climate change, yeah my point is if we do identity politics now, over things which are let or let live, what is going to happen when there are things that we cannot do so? I think it will ramp up more even.

Well done on releasing and going open source, great achievement.

I can't talk about GDrive or iCloud. However, window's cloud storage is REALLY good. Far better than dropbox IMO.

It actually surprised me how seamless it worked on my new laptop. Everything just worked out of the box, the only thing I had to do was provide my windows credentials (benefits of that sort of integration).

That being said, I've not tried to access those same files from my phone. Maybe that's worse. Dropbox does a really good job of syncing well across platforms.
Because of public-key crypto, it doesn't matter if the servers are malicious.
Because the right to assembly has always been about whether or not the government has any ability to restrict or otherwise punish your right to free assembly, not whether or not private actors are obligated to assist.

Let’s put it this way, if we hold that we must require companies to help protests because of the right to free assembly, that means that the local Starbucks wouldn’t be allowed to expel rowdy patrons so long as they’re “assembled”.

To force AirBnB to do business against their will in order to support a political protest would in fact be authoritarian.

Why Slack’s Growth Strategy Led to Billions Without a Sales Team
The White House website is still up and running for anyone to visit.
Right now it is entirely likely that people searching for 8chan are interested in it's news value, so surfacing news stories about it-- with the wikipedia results at the top providing a "what is 8chan" result-- is entirely possible that it's part of the "secret sauce"

Regardless, the true purpose of the "secret sauce" is to maximize use of the search engine to maximize ad impressions & revenue. It could very well be the case that putting the actual 8chan website at the top of the listings wouldn't actually do that. Advertisers are probably more likely to target attributes associated with people searching for 8chan-- news seekers-- rather than targeting 8chan itself. Just a guess though-- I'm essentially saying this behavior doesn't necessarily have to be Google messing with it's secret sauce (although that is entirely possible too)

> The Explore Tab on Twitter is the most important newspaper in the world. It’s littered with celebrity gossip and exaggerated political drama — both of which yield a wide reach but incentivize empty content. And yet, as the Paradox of Abundance predicts, Twitter is also one of the world’s top intellectual communities. It’s the bedrock of my social and intellectual life.

It's a real shame to think about the fact that the platform he so adores is heavily censored.

I wonder what this means for the long term future of the global west.

Disappointing Chinese Vaccine Results Pose Setback for Developing World
A lifetime ago I worked a retail job. I’d often say to coworkers “isn’t it amazing we get to work in the future, we get to use laser beams all the time!” They’d stare at me blankly, and I’d squeeze the “laser gun” I was holding in my hands to scan a UPC. The most I’d ever get was a groan like I’d told a dad joke. No one was ever impressed.

To me it’s amazing how such wondrous technological advances become mundane so quickly, the future is here and nobody is astonished.
I’ve noticed the switch to arm isn’t drastically harder than switch to amd for large DC/Cloud users.

The biggest burden is political. The technical work is only a few months. With savings often more than paying to hire substantially more staff to assist in migration then accelerate the core product.
Telegram stores your data by default in their servers. You have the option of removing single messages or conversations but there’s no way of knowing if they really do so. Also if you remove your account without removing your conversations first they stay there forever (others can see the messages)
Sometimes lack of social contact or purpose in life, abuse, loneliness and depression can lead to workaholism, sometimes it's having drunk the cool-aid and chasing the carrot on the stick, or even more common, it's simply lacking better employment options in your area leading you to cave in to soft pressure from your employer which then leads to burn-out/depression.
I think you are vastly overestimating the "revolution" of what the M1 represents to the industry. Apple isn't selling it to any other PC makers, and corporations aren't pivoting away from Microsoft for a CPU. Every single ARM chip that's been targeted at the Windows world has produced yawn-inducing performance.

Something like ActivityWatch (open-source, non-functioning) or Timing (proprietary, functioning, for Mac): Keeps track of your app usage by app and app title and directory, automatically suggests tasks to make based on app usage.
You need to have Xcode installed, but you don’t need to actually use the Xcode GUI for notarisation, you can use command line tools via `xcrun {altool,stapler}` to achieve the same. My company is distributing a Java application with a compiled JNI component written in C++, and I created the macOS distribution process for the app. It’s fully command-line based for automated deployment.

Packaging and notarisation is a pain, but it is possible, even though the app we’re distributing is self-contained, so it includes a minimal JRE distribution, dynamic libraries, utility binaries, and a loader. All of these components must be code-signed and notarised (not individually, only the complete bundle is submitted, but all components are inspected).
> OECD average work week disagrees with you

Right but we're talking about a single specific industry that's not the norm.

My North American company gives me as much time off as I ask for, they shut down for two weeks over the new year, they don't care what hours I work, and they give extended sabbaticals after a few years. In the office they have incredible standard of food and drinks and the off-sites are awesome.

My friends at British companies have to be at their desk at 0830, get 28 days holiday and not an hour more, have to take a sad sandwich to work because nothing is provided, and the off-sites are depressing.

The biggest difference: North American companies are happy for you to work from home. This has given me thousands of hours back with my family, and saved me hundreds of thousands of pounds in housing costs. My friends at British companies all have to go into an office. (Pre-pandemic.)

If you're a supermarket shelf-stacker I'm sure work-life and benefits are better in the UK than in the US... but we're not talking about shelf-stackers we're talking about tech companies.
It seems like all I'm seeing is slippery-slope arguments these days. Let me spell out why they come across as completely insincere:

Couldn't you just as easily argue that NOT doing anything about a losing president trying to overturn democracy is a much more slippery slope to something far worse? If you simply acknowledge this in your comments, trust me, your points will be taken more seriously.

Don't worry, many of us who consider the far-right actions insane insurrection and conspiracy theory still do believe in free-speech, and will speak up for it if it goes too far (e.g. your third example). It's kinda insincere to jump to these slippery-slope conclusions though, and I think you know that in your heart of hearts. It's pretty trivial to take any real-world phenomenon and contrive how it could be exaggerated to the point it's bad ("Police shooting an armed criminal? What's next police shooting babies?!?" "President bragging how he could shoot a person in the street? What's next, president shooting people in the street?!?").
Why is this topic flagged, when so (so) many on the same subject that didn't present evidence of Parler's crimes hit the front page?
At first I wanted to write about client-side app verification, that we can prove that the apps we have and the open-source complied app would be the same.

Which does not prove that if the app sends your phone number or location (for example), they don't save it in database.

Indeed, interesting question
> because a lot of people know shockingly little about how their body works

I agree with this. It took me a solid year of significant studying to get to the point where I could comfortably read a medical research paper, and that was coming from an engineering background.

However, when I look back at my life, some of my most impactful contributions have come from doing dumb risky things in fields I knew nothing about. I think the Kay quote "A change of perspective is worth 80 IQ points" applies here. Novices have a different perspective, which sure can be dangerous, but also gives them an 80 IQ point advantage.

Anyway, I agree with your point that it would be nice to make it safer to do biohacking, but at the same time I think we shouldn't be too quick to discourage it, as it's actually a smart strategy for society to have outsiders try things that would seem dumb from an insider's perspective.
Its a symptom of hypercentralized internet,
when you complain about facebook/twitter/reddit dictating
free speech there is implicit assumption that 'free speech'

Maybe a fee waiver for oss with certain licenses and dev accounts for .edu addresses with a couple other ID requirements would be a good start.
2 is a problem in their app as well. They explain that due to how they decode the file it’s not possible. I’m assuming it’s got to due with a decision that was made years ago in the architecture and would just be too costly to change today.
As long as it is stored on the server and the transmission is encrypted, we will never know for sure. Especially in cases where the company "controls" the encryption and decryption.
Make sure you have a robust plugin layer as people will want to integrate this into their existing systems, like SCMs, issue trackers, CRMs, reporting and billing systems, chat clients (Teams/Slack) etc.
I had this experience a few times. I used to buy outside the standard marketplaces (was an early cydia user as well).

Reality - if they can scam you they will.

1) An annual subscription with no renewal notice AND that you couldn't cancel out of the 7 day period before renewal. So because I subscribed outside the app store I was screwed. After paying another $150 for a year I didn't want the service for, spending time arguing, I had to set a calendar invite for a year away to myself, then find out you can only cancel by CALLING them at a UK number! Of course it was acres of time being on hold.

I ended up just switching off that credit card and sending them an email saying I was canceling. They still send me past due bills saying my card was declined yadda yadda.

Contrast that with apple. You get an alert IN ADVANCE that you have subscriptions coming up. If you uninstall an app with a related subscription it asks if you want to cancel subscription PROACTIVELY etc. And you seem to get benefits via family sharing on subscriptions that automatically flow to family members without having to share passwords which is nice.

So yeah, subscriptions (as just one example) I go through app store if at all possible.

And of course, this extends to everything. On my windows machine we also have that corp VPN stuff -> which they then somehow use as a marketing channel to popup notifications around security etc that I need to buy or get anti-virus etc. I'm sure there are settings to turn this stuff off, but what a pain.

My parents it is even worse. On windows all the ads and toolbars that are "helpfully" installed I am convinced are 99% adware / malware. For some reason my parents (elderly) have no problems with their ipad by contrast.
If we're going to base our educational system in shaming and pushing "knowledge" down the throat of uninterested group of ppl, then we might want to start asking "why are these ppl uninterested?" and "how we can change that?", "why uninterested parties in X took the subject", etc.

"Open banking" and "cross-border banking" are two different things. The UK will definitely continue to have open banking. The UK-EU banking relationship is still up for negotiation. (I'm not hopeful though.)
This is one of the problems with unaccountable private censors. It's very easy for them to selectively apply their rules, based on the whims of their workforce or major customers, etc. There is very little oversight, and if they are a monopoly the people who are treated unfairly have nowhere else to go.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Classic error on part of the report and the NY Times. Highly unlikely (1 in 1e9) that snakes just found a new way to slither when scientist setup that experiment. The article acknowledges that it is hard to observe snakes in the wild. They have most likely been slithering this way for a long long time. Scientist captured snakes slithering in a way they have never seen before.

Measurement (and lack thereof) is the biggest source of errors. Medicine and medical studies is rife with mis-measurement e.g. associational studies. The Boeing 737-Max disaster was because of mis-measurement from a sensor. I could go on and on about this.

> the "left" side of the spectrum, should really take a pause and think really long and really hard about what they have unleashed here

You seem to be forgetting the immediate cause - the insurrection. Individuals (both left and right leaning) lose ground while entrenched power (both left and right flavored) gains - but these events were set in motion by the political right.

I'm dreading the knee-jerk heavy-handed responses, but after what has occurred they're inevitable. The surest way to get congresscritters to unilaterally act is to directly threaten their own personal safety. Furthermore, bringing organized violence to the table completely changes the game - those social media bans are better seen as a reaction to novel criminal liability rather than a mere escalation of the section 230 battle.

As a libertarian, what's truly disappointing is seeing what was probably our last chance at direct rebellion get wasted to assuage one proto-fascist simpleton's ego with a fake narrative of a stolen election. That's not the kind of movement that could possibly gain momentum by demonstrating its justness. I've always believed that personal computing is a better hope for freedom than expecting any herd of people to move in a productive direction, and these events just hammer it home.
Yes, there are several computer chess rating lists, but you run into the same problems once you want to compare a CPU engine with a GPU one: how do you account for the hardware? Really a rating, as a measure of playing strength, should apply to a hardware/software combination, but we almost always want to compare the software. The most respected lists used to be the SSDF [0] and CCRL [1] lists but they both ignore the GPU issue. There's now the CEGT list [2] which I don't know anything about, but does seem to use heterogenous hardware.

Note that the numbers aren't calibrated to human players, so there's no claim that an engine with a rating of 3100 on some particular hardware should score 85% against a human rated 2800, or whatever.

>it isn't a selling point to my mom or her friends

Gargantuan battery life isn't a selling point? For laptop? In what universe?
What an unfortunate title. Not only because for decades now there are those whose job it has been to "sell nudes online", but also because it outright communicates a moral equivocation between desperate circumstances and sex-work, with such implied debasement STILL not garnering a payout as some kind of "I told you so/what did we learn" moment. It really takes the agency out of those sex-workers who do so for any myriad of reasons outside of desperation, and is the stupid rhetoric that seeks to rollback any strides -albeit in North America limited though they may be- we've made toward the field itself.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. And once I close that window with Cmd+Q, I have a mild panic attack that I closed the actual service that was in the middle of a sync and may have lost some data.
what use are my encrypted messages to them?
But it is false and that’s a fact.

And that falsehood is being perpetuated by the president and some republicans.

That is very serious, it is one of the main causes of the capitol events and the reason it’s so insidious is the fact that it is false.

There is really no way to emphasise enough that the election was proper and claims otherwise are false, as has been repeatedly shown in courts, even with republican appointed judges.
Does anyone else feel like Dropbox has gotten worse in the last year or two? It used to be the "install and forget about it" option for backup and sync. My daughter and wife have both had to get my help in the last year in regards Dropbox failing to sync, failing to work well with Windows in regards to more than one Microsoft account on the same computer, and otherwise requiring me to think about it in a way that I didn't used to. I am a paying customer, albeit probably a small one.

I also notice they now keep pestering to convert to the "all cloud" option rather than having a local copy of everything and just using the cloud as the backup and sync infrastructure. It feels like they have shifted from the "make it easy to become a paying customer" model into the "make it hard to stop being a paying customer" model. That's not a great sign for growth.
How is that different from any other social network though? Even when I was a teen, there was no shortage of message boards and forums having these kinds of discussions. Sure, the video aspect wasn't there as in general, people stayed anonymous, but the sense of support was still there.
To lead in Germany you have to know German - the people who don't will have problems (Cryan did at DB, as did Jennifer Morgan at SAP). And there are few foreign managers in these companies willing to learn German to a good enough standard - unlike in English or American companies.
