It's trivially easy to find a doctor willing to sell you testosterone replacement therapy these days. There are plenty of unscrupulous doctors who will find an excuse to do it, although they usually require you to buy the testosterone through their store.

It's a total racket.

Be warned: Going on TRT should be considered a one-way street. Once you start adding exogenous testosterone to your system, your body's natural production will decrease. It doesn't take long for your body's natural production to virtual stop completely, making you dependent on TRT for the rest of your life.

There are hypothetically ways to try to counter this shutdown, but it's far from guaranteed. Many people who start and then stop TRT end up with lower levels than when they started, even with the countermeasures in place.

No man should experiment with testosterone unless they're ready to continue using it for the rest of their life. I know plenty of people who thought they were getting a leg up in their 30s by getting on TRT, who now regret having to constantly buy and maintain TRT supplies and carry it around whenever they travel. The initial euphoric effects of TRT will wane over time, too.

A 30 minute rapid test (aka: lateral flow / antigen test) isn't a reliable way to test for Covid. These tests return a high rate of false negatives. You need to get a lab PCR test if you want an accurate result.

Most countries that require Covid tests before travel require a PCR test for that reason.
Yeah they really pick and choose what they ban based on "personal opinion".
We received some push back for Stacks 1.0 as well! And for similar reasons i.e., you don't want to put a lot of additional data into the Bitcoin blockchain (makes it much harder to scale Bitcoin that way).

This was the primary reason why for Stacks 2.0, a hard design requirement was to make absolutely no changes to Bitcoin and to not put additional data in Bitcoin.

With Stacks thousands of STX transactions result in a single hash on Bitcoin (technically on the order of active miners on Bitcoin), so Stacks transactions automatically settle on Bitcoin every block.
Mechanically at its core, 5e is has a very close similarity to 4e with encounter powers becoming recharge on short or long rest and daily powers becoming recharge on long rest, and a few similar translations; it's much closer to 4e in that regard than to any earlier edition. And the catalog of classes, and other options, and their design doesn't throw out 4e heritage entirely, either.

But it manages to avoid, IMO, the super-metagamey feel of 4e.

What's the difference between mortars and fireworks? Damage. Suggesting people were dropping a plate, siting a mortar and undermining a building is a much stronger image than "Some bro threw an M-80 near some stuff."

The D7000, like all system cameras, has a mechanical shutter it uses when taking photos. Even though technically ”rolling” as well, it is much faster than a typical electronic shutter due to the way a CMOS sensor must be read out. Phone cameras have no physical shutters and use e-shutter all the time, but your D7000 only resorts to it when shooting video.

As a rule of thumb, it takes several milliseconds for a mechanical shutter to traverse the sensor plane, but it takes several tens of milliseconds for an e-shutter to readout the sensor. Shutter speed does not affect this; even at 1/4000s or 1/8000s or whatever the time difference between the top and the bottom of a photo remains the same.
How true is this, in practice? I hear software folks say this sort of thing somewhat frequently, but I haven't heard it from a _legal_ person. And my general sense and understanding is that although an FAQ style clarification is not _perfect_, it _does_ carry non-trivial weight.

Judges are not totally capricious people making arbitrary decisions: the notion that in a dispute they would just cast aside one party's _clear and well documented intent_ to narrow the scope of the burden they place on another is... well, it doesn't seem all that credible to me.

Of course by the time you get to that point in a legal dispute you're already in some trouble.

But IDK, I'm just a software person speculating. Is there a legal person interested in giving their "not legal advice" perspective on this?

I raised precisely this concern a week ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25631073

my intention there was (and still is) to learn how other HNers think of this. In there I got the response about how the precise version to which people contributed, was and will always be Open Source, regardless of what happens to future derivations of that code.

I'm not sure I bought that reasoning, though... you put it better with that "fruits of their labor". Maybe not the writing, but the spirit of the permissive FOSS licenses is not to end up being swapped into a non-FOSS alternative...

The previous FOSS license did indeed permit any future change in licensing; I would like to learn if that kind of choice might actually become a deterrent and an added reason for a lower number of external contributors, or not.
Oh I got a lot of value out of my degree. I enjoyed the theory the most. Trees, Graphs, Algorithmic Complexity and Artificial Intelligence are my deepest interests and I have studied the theory of them in depth. It is just that the way how the knowledge is transferred and especially how it is examined and marked is sadly often not goal orientated. I am happy that I spent a lot of time on my CS education in university, I just see no point in "finishing" it (getting the "special" graduation paper).

Right now the average transaction on the bitcoin chain is almost $15. That's double the cost of the hard drive space to store the entire blockchain (if you really want to).

Austin's already out of play for being "cool". The downtown area is stupidly expensive now (it was higher than the Bay Area before Covid--I suspect that is worse now).

One of the problems going on everywhere in the US right now is that places won't drop rent. Apparently, you can tack missing rent onto the end of your financing, but if you offer lower rent the bank holding your financing can call you up and demand cash.

This is going to totally screw up recovery as everybody will leave places empty until they're about to go bankrupt. And then everybody will go bankrupt simultaneously rather than piecemeal.
This is pretty remarkable. I wonder why numbers in so many European countries are so much lower?

The multi-line tag also helps a lot outside of plan9 because the file paths on plan9 tend to be shorter thanks to the per-process namespaces. e.g. instead of /home/$user/projects/foo you can just bind that to /prj/foo or whatever you like.

>Chesa Boudin was only fourteen months old when both his mother and father, members of a left-wing terrorist group called the Weather Underground, were arrested as accessories to the murder of two police officers and a security guard during the 1981 robbery of a Brinks truck. His mother served over twenty years, while his father is still incarcerated almost forty years later (Boudin was raised by Weather Underground leaders Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn). Boudin has said that his earliest memories are of visiting his parents in prison and these experiences formed his political views. Perhaps because of this personal history (along with a general commitment to doctrinaire leftism that saw him work for and praise Hugo Chavez long after he revealed himself to be a strongman intent on governing for life), Boudin has made decarceration — the reduction of the numbers of people held in jails and prisons — his signature issue.

This whole Batman effect of having their personal lives outwardly influence their professional-lives has dramatic impacts for everyone else.

I got the most value out of studying deep theory and then applying that knowledge to real problems. That is just a rare combination for most courses in my experience to offer. Sadly most are of the form: study a lot by heart for the finals. Repeat 5 to 6 times per semester, repeat for 6 times and graduate. Just not my style of learning.

> This change in source code licensing has no impact on the overwhelming majority of our user community

How come? If you switch open source to proprietary software (as much source-available as it may be), there's a significant impact: a % of users won't use proprietary software; those who may will not find this software packaged on package managers; derivatives and companion projects may stop being developed. Where's the "no impact"?
Such as which example?

I have knowledge of the existence of multiple in almost all of what I listed.

We addressed this in New Zealand when we went into deep lockdown (only allowed out for exercise and supermarket, everything else closed) back in March - what the government did was essentially trickle up relief (we all know now that trickle down doesn't work) - what they provided was a wage subsidy that companies could claim to pay employees who were locked down's wages - not a fixed puny lump sum, not a gift to big biz, something to keep people connected with their employers so that after we could easily start everything back up again.

It wasn't cheap, but locking absolutely everyone down for a couple of months was way cheaper that the alternative in the long run - surely the US could have done this - you pay far higher taxes than we do in NZ, money really shouldn't be an option

Well US Army mortars tend to be 60-107mm in calibre and designed for anti-infantry use while fireworks are generally designed for aesthetic effects. There is certainly some overlap in the capability of fireworks and mortars to render damage to individuals and groups but this is generally a very limited shared range of effect, with mortars being explicitly designed to kill or incapacitate human targets.
Copyright infringement (especially when arguably in the public interest, even if illegal) and inciting violence are not even close to comparable. Different moral universe. Different legal ramifications as well.
Auvergne has a lot of the sounds that are almost impossible to get right: 'au' has few equivalent other than the Scandinavian 'å' (and they rarely make the connection), 'v' is muted, the wet 'gn' sounds like the Spanish 'll' but is hard for even then to put in the middle of a word — and the unheard final 'e' will trip anyone in the country for less than two decade.

“Bonjour“ and “croissant” are classic examples too: the opening 'b' is muted, 'j' only exist in some arabic dialect, etc.

I used to live near the Louvre and the hundreds of tourist ordering at the local bakery were offended that, pointing at the pastries and articulating as much as they could, the baker would claim to have no idea what they wanted. I had to explain that she genuinely couldn’t understand and she was sincerely confused at them pointing at a croissant and asking for a “Keurrawssanteu”. Those two things could not be the same — it’s not an accent: someone from Switwzerland or Quebec would have no problem even though they sound completely different. I could make sense because I spoke English. “But I’m speaking in French…” Well… almost.
Ooh. I’m so out of touch I didn’t even know what MUSL really is.

I think the message of holding social media accountable for the harm it causes everybody is being drowned out by the hyperbolic statements like "effectively playing god".

They are not playing god. They own a platform, they are determining who can and cannot speak on that platform. That's the same thing every news paper, internet forum, email server, BBS, public bulletin board, or really any publishing of any kind has done since the invention of publishing.

Twitter is not part of the government, and it does not have a monopoly on internet communication. Hell, it doesn't even charge for its services. You are not entitled to use their platform.

If you are disgusted and disappointed in social media for their behavior, that's perfectly reasonable! There are things you can do about it! you can refuse to use their service, refuse to recommend it to friends, promote competitors, etc.

What you cannot do is pretend that just because they are a large wealthy organization you have some kind of right to use their platform to say whatever you want.
You are being too cynical.

Their argument is, more charitably: "We built this, we released it for free. Our business model is professional support and hosted services. In order for us, the creators of this software, to continue building it, we cannot allow megacorporations to freely spin up a loss-leading competitive service and cut us out."
I will say that my analogy might not have been as universally accessible as I had hoped. Clearly not. I could have picked something like chemical compounds as examples. It is a sad state that so many people attach their identity as humans to gun ownership and I keep underestimating just how much some cling to that.

To your other point, I am not defending Facebook here. The question that was raised: how come Parler was deplatformed as harmful but Facebook wasn’t even though it’s arguably worse in absolute terms. My point was that it’s probably because in relative terms Parler was mostly seen as being used in harmful ways while Facebook is seen as mostly non-harmful with some harmful parts.

I stand by that assessment, as in why Apple and Google haven’t removed the Facebook app from their app platforms. I do wish Facebook would get reined in because it is not a force for good. I think there was a brief period of maybe 2-3 years when it was a net positive: when you could use it to simply connect with people you used to know and lost contact with. Initially it was a weird stalker platform as you said, later it turned into a combo meme machine (and a bad one at that) and a marketing platform. About the only parts of FB that I still find useful personally are its Marketplace which is an objectively better experience than Craigslist (though FB is ruining it with how it’s running advertising there that really messes up your searches), and Messenger (but only because I at some point connected with a number of people on there; I will likely be moving those conversations elsewhere since there isn’t anything special about the Messenger itself). It’s other two major properties, Instagram and WhatsApp, are useful for other things but also have their own major problems. Instagram I think is a flash in the pan until the current generation of users ages out of being cool and the next generation wants to move to a new platform simply because they don’t want to hang out with the old geezers. WhatsApp has a privacy problem by design and better alternatives already exist (Matrix, Signal).

But yes Facebook is basically a mostly bad for society platform, it’s just bad in the sense that fast food is bad, not in the murder is bad. We tend to react to diffuse bad influences differently than to acute ones.
I think America is one of the most obese countries on earth.

I completely blame the food. Even eating absolute junk in Europe I noticed I lost 5 or 6 pounds over 2 weeks.

Here if I eat junk food for 3 days my weight jumps by 7 pounds. I am a bit dismayed with all the attempts to normalize obesity in the US. I was morbidly obese up until I got serious about my weight in my early 20s. You can read all the dating books you want, but getting in shape is the only thing that works. It's much easier to hop on Reddit and complain though.

I'm very optimistic I'll be able to move to a healthier country once I retire at 40 or so. Not exactly easy to stay in shape when this country tries to pump us all full of corn syrup
