Does lending to a government really matter when they can (and do) print trillions of dollars to fund things all the time?
The government should be regulating the broadcast of false information that is blatant propaganda. Freedom of speech is not freedom to broadcast blatant lies to millions of people.

What? I’m doing this right now. I can do it with a white tiger. I can see Barrack Obama in a marching band on Mars.

I have a friend who cannot picture anything in their mind, so it’s probably a spectrum. You might be projecting your experience onto others.
I totally buy ibonds, but their 10-15k limit a year is unfortunately a joke. I wish I could buy way more.
My PSVR setup has been sitting in a drawer for over a year now. While I found the headset to be comfortable, I just had too many tracking issues with the camera.

The Oculus Quest and Oculus Quest 2 have really revolutionized VR. I absolutely refuse to play VR games while tethered now.

As far as I'm concerned, if any VR headset comes out that requires a wire tether, it's already dead on arrival.
Yes I agree EVs make a great commuter car. It’s just the exact opposite of how I ever use a car.

And in cities, which is where most people live, the EV infrastructure is not quite there yet. Making them impractical for 82% of Americans according to a quick google search on “percent of urban americans”

That said, I didn’t look into how dense these supoosed urban areas are and how many garages there are. Could be they count places like Mountain View as urban.

When clubhouse is good, it's magic. But they have a content quality / signal noise ratio problem currently, making it hard to find good content. Combined with how notifications work, it makes the app very noisy and hard to find the good stuff.
Thank you! I used to use footnotes too, but I didn't like how they took you out of the flow of the text. Expounder aims to specifically let users stay in the flow of reading, which is why one of the core instructions is that the text should work in context, as if it were never hidden.

So maybe that's the idea for my projects that I make available to others. Be a bit more deliberate with branches, allow them to be junky, and clean up when I merge to master. That seems like the best of both worlds with minimal effort. I think I'll even try it.

HFCS is just about the worst food ingredient out there that is present in foods in amounts larger than a couple of milligrams. Maybe trans-fats are worse, but those have been largely phased out. In 2009, sampled foods with HFCS had detectable levels of mercury, though corn refiners claim this is fixed and due to an outdated refining process that used mercury.

That's on top of all the other negative health effects like diabetes, metabolic syndrome, etc.
See my reply below - the SA-1 was much more than just a co-processor. It was an entire SoC with its own timers, DMA controller, MMU, RAM and interrupt controller that could actively interrupt the main CPU and transfer control to itself.

A co-processor would be controlled by the CPU, the SA-1 was its own CPU and could use the 65C816 (the main CPU) to "do its bidding" (e.g. for access to the video chip, etc.). The SA-1 was 2.8x faster than the 65C816 and even had faster internal RAM.

Extra processors came in many varieties, but the SA-1 in particular was much more than your typical DSP(1-4) or data-decompression chip.

Edit: I guess what I'm trying to say is that an SNES + a cartridge with an SA-1 is effectively a different console with different capabilities than an SNES without an SA-1 attached. This concept is lost on so many people these days because they can't wrap their head around the idea that games sometimes used to ship with additional hardware built-in, turning the cartridge itself into a mini-console of sorts.
>I think most Americans are doing just fine with high fructose diets.

Most Americans are overweight. I wouldn't call that doing fine.
Judging what is and is not misinformation must always be in the hands of the people. Never the hands of authorities whether those be government or corporate.

Why must fight all censorship. Because once you allow "a thing" to be censored, it becomes possible to censor "any thing".

Things in the past which were labeled misinformation and would have been suppressed for even longer (or forever) under current social attitudes of censoring anything that might make us feel bad.

- Leaded gasoline poisoning all of the country.
- Tobacco is addicting and gives you cancer.
- Agent Orange caused US military health problems.
- PTSD is a mental health issue (denied since at least WWI).

Remember all the power/leeway you give to the "left" (or right) will also be misused when the "right" (or left) take power again.

> I researched the problem extensively...

Just curious: Did your efforts identify the sweet spots, given misc costs. Like the "makes sense" price as carbon costs rise and battery cost per amp fall. Factoring weight, distance, speed, recharge times, etc.

Why I ask: The most interesting part of the Tesla origin story, to me, is the recognition that laptop battery cost per amp trends would make full-sized EV automobile viable. So they jumped in to catch that wave.

Timing is important.

Separately: I'm also curious what the market segmentation line is between bike and scooter. eg Maybe bikes can peel away some of the scooter market. I've observed that biked wheel sizes are getting smaller as well as getting cargo features. So why not?
This isn't about compiling an entire program, this is about compiling the individual libraries that you may be consuming, if they already have type hint coverage. A "free" performance boost.

If I have a pure python, fully type hinted library I'm consuming, hats off to them, and they choose to use this, awesome.
That is probably your best bet for large amounts. You can also diversify into TIPS (note the negative nominal returns though) and improve your housing situation with renos, upgrades etc.
If anybody, it should be the public, not the government, from the perspective of constitutional law. In an ethical sense, I'm less sure, because I feel pretty certain that the networks named in these letters are harmful to the country and harmful to democracy, but I'm unsure about the relative costs in the long-term of government intervention here. The ruling party attacking opposition media is never a good look, no matter how toxic said media is.

The point of that last paragraph is the sarcastic last sentence:

Yes, the in-game currency settlement is awful, but the Ars Technica headline writer is making it sound more awful than it really is, because, quote:

The letter complains about Fox and OANN's partisan and inflammatory rhetoric, with supporting citations to sources on the left who trade heavily in partisan and inflammatory rhetoric. Just three citations in you get to Karen Attiah, Washington Post's Global Opinions Editor: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/jun/29/karen-attia...

> “White women are lucky that we are just calling them ‘Karen’s,’ and not calling for revenge,” Ms. Attiah tweeted to her 185,000 followers Sunday evening.

> “Non, je ne regrette rien,” she wrote in another tweet, making it clear she had no regrets.

Regarding misinformation, Rachel Maddow has suffered no negative consequences for jumping on every Trump-related conspiracy theory to pop up in the last four years: https://taibbi.substack.com/p/why-rachel-maddow-is-on-the-co...

> From there, the floodgates opened. “Commentary television is not news,” snapped David Cay Johnston of the New York Times, himself just days removed from saying on Democracy Now! that “I think [Trump] is a Russian agent.”

> He added: “Rachel Maddow in particular has certainly pushed the Mueller matter,” doing so in conjunction with “the facts at the time.” However, he said, her work was “driven by the commercial values of television.”

It's fair to say that Maddow has an opinion show, not a news show. But that distinction doesn't seem to matter to the Congresspeople who wrote the letter here--they suggest censoring Fox News, which accurately reported the election results and Supreme Court developments. The conspiracy theories, such as they were, came from some of the opinion hosts.

Make no mistake. Whether it's "inflammatory" speech or "misinformation"--these rules will not be applied even-handedly. Such rules are not even amenable to even-handed application.
Not affiliated with Mozilla, nor do I know, but my thoughts:

A quick check reveals that while ublock origin seems to be the most popular, it's by far not the only popular add-on to block ads https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=adblock ; so why include ublock origin specifically? Especially since it has become much more than a simple adblocker (script blocking capabilities for example), why not something else? Why not integrate an ad-blocker developed completely by mozilla?

Why not include NoScript + Containers by default? And some UserAgent Switch capability? And more fine grained cookie storage options (currently available via add-ons), et cetera?

When you start integrating capabilities currently being offered by add-ons, the questions are :

- where to stop

- how to discriminate what to include, what not

- how will users and developers feel (for example the user who wants to use his favorite add-on, which now is not developed anymore because almost no one bothers to install it since functionality X has become part of the browser)

- how to deal with edge cases (the one site which breaks because of ad-block is the reason a non-technical person might simply install chrome and move on with their life)

- is the increasing complexity worth it? to what degree is it?
I think you have very short-sighted view of Java. Java has GraalVM. There's simply nothing even close in .NET world. And this is just about the core of the runtime.

Java is catching up quickly. I say that as a .NET-focused dev, who touches Java once a year.

"Know it is a killer". That is very strong statement that needs to be backed up.

Do you think that whites today have the same attitudes toward African Americans and American Indians (I assume that is what AA and AI stand for) as they did during the time of "poisoned blankets and forced neutering"?

Being overly suspicious of another race is a form of bias that can harm the person who has it, in this case by refusing a protective vaccine.

>Beyond that, if schools put a big warning label on their recruiting materials that said "EVEN AFTER YOU SPEND $200K TO ATTEND YOU WILL LIKELY NOT BE ABLE TO FIND A HIGH PAYING JOB" then sure, that would be fine.

It's actually less "real" than Bitcoin. I haven't read the Fortnite TOS, but game companies always grant themselves unilateral permission to create/destroy in-game items/etc whenever they please.
The money multiplier model brings to mind a comment, in a Terry Pratchett book, where one of the characters says something like "everybody knows what the wind is, the wind is what happens when the trees move their branches".

If you have a model that have the components right but the causality going in total opposite direction, I think is kind of fair to criticize its pedagogic value.

How to master stateful sets in Kubernetes
You're misunderstanding what I'm saying.

"... is that you can't replace trust with an immutable ledger."

"The real problem - in my view - is that people don't understand the foundations of a society anymore, how to live together."

I agree with you 100%. Also, I never said we should prevent printing money with blockchain - the purpose and value is so that if a nation does print money, they're open and honest about it. It would be their own democratic decision to do so, likewise in the blockchain system I envision - it would be that same democratic process, decision making, that they would want to join such a managed system that other trusted-democratic nations are part of - where they believe in the transparency of it all.

And I never even alluded to replacing trust with an immutable ledger, just that an immutable ledger becomes a witness that each nation would decide to be witnessed by by their peers.

All of my projects are health-wellness focused, in part to help people develop their self-awareness, to gain and maintain their health, and in part that is healing through community - building real community.

I'd argue that this is justified when it comes to misleading non-technical users about their privacy.

Mozilla plasters the word "privacy" everywhere and yet opens their own website on first run and after every update which includes Google Analytics, from the same company that's known to violate people's privacy on a large scale and profit from it.

Browser fingerprinting and IP-based tracking is reliable enough that blocking cookies is absolutely useless in this day and age against an omnipresent adversary such as Google & Facebook. Blocking their request uBlock Origin-style is the only way to go and claiming to protect your privacy otherwise is very misleading.
Aah, sorry forgot to mention that for the context. Yes.
>I suppose they mean disinfo and not misinfo?

misinformation, disinformation, conspiracy theories, and lies

PDF says all of the above. Obviously the democrats are the ones who will define what's a lie. Any Americans here think it's appropriate to allow the democrat party to define what's a lie and then have it censored?

"Right-wing media outlets, like Newsmax, One America News Network (OANN), and Fox News"

It's interesting that the democrat government is pressuring ATT to deplatform their political opponents.

>seems like a slippery slope when one can't trust their own people to be able to distinguish between facts/non-facts, so much that one needs laws to ban certain types of content and prevent it from being seen. makes me wonder if this will not even cause further conspiracy and drive traffic to alternative (underground e.g. outlawed) information channels

I have never in my life seen such a political divide in the USA. It's very much like during the Vietnam war. Afterall the USA has now been at war longer than it ever has been.
May be "AI Ethics" research will be affected and I believe this is good thing. After reading David Graeber's Bullshit Jobs, He claims that administrative jobs in universities and managerial, duct tape IT jobs in industry as examples of it.
Now it occurred to me that this AI ethics research is just one more example of proliferating bullshit job. Just recycle same idea and conclusions thousand times and you have years of research and hundreds of papers generated out of it.

And a mutual admiration society of university departments, twitter fans and these type of researchers in tech companies keep everyone in high esteem as world leading authorities.
Side-effect is a very well-established term, though[1]:

> In computer science, an operation, function or expression is said to have a side effect if it modifies some state variable value(s) outside its local environment, that is to say has an observable effect besides returning a value (the main effect) to the invoker of the operation.

> The fact that nothing happens on the second+ invocation is, for me, the example of no unwanted side effects.

I don't think you'll ever find a definition that says something about second invocations.

> Class action lawsuits are turning out to be a scam.

Anybody have a good idea of what proportion of class action lawsuits end up as "bad/not good enough for class members?"

Because anecdotally I think of a couple that had fairly reasonable-sounding payouts for class members. One was the Dow Corning breast implant settlement that ended up bankrupting Dow Corning and resulted in payments of $12,000 to $300,000 to class members depending on the exact symptoms suffered. Another was Collins v. United States which was settled for full back pay for all U.S. military veterans discharged under Don't Ask Don't Tell since 2004.
I'm so sick of people making Blog posts/articles just for the sake of it or with some alternate motive like promoting something they're working on or trying to sell.

No research done, but I suspect it's because of the sheer amount that we consume, at least in the US due to the use of corn syrup in packaged foods.
GitHub too is useful for solo work: you can code review your own code.

I’ve found it useful because it’s in a separate context/UI (GitHub web view) as opposed to your code editor or even git diff on command line.
Too subjective; what looks like malice could just be basic misunderstanding.

Simple example: if I reply only the original forum post, but my message is posted after yours, then you might assume like I'm excluding you intentionally, probably because I don't like you personally; you get mad. This assumption is wrong and harmful to productive conversations. The simplest explanation is I began writing my reply before you posted; no apology is warranted. Another possibility is I'm simply a careless or excitable type of person who usually replies quickly before reading other replies; an apology is warranted, but it wasn't a personal attack!
I wonder what this does to SEO, does the hidden text get indexed, and is it not picked up as a dark pattern by crawlers?
You can compare yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theatre to a lot of speech, for example, speech that is against a military draft. This was the original comparison.

Luckily we (the United States) prevent our government from restricting this type of speech.
And I knew someone would post this snarky response. Yes, COVID is definitely different from literally every other microbe we know of that spreads on common surfaces. Also "probably not" still means hundreds of thousands of infections at the scale of this pandemic.
Yes, exactly. It's a lack of trust in authority that many people are experiencing, and then they give-up promoting competent national leadership entirely, but this doesn't translate into declining institutions or actual experts. Placing profits and politics over results and societal needs just leads us down the golden brick road to hubris.

There are many countries around the world that implemented good ideas (Where To Invade Next?), like Finland baby boxes and no school homework, France with proper school lunches, Italy's work day and labor relations, and many countries with adequate healthcare and free college. It's better to borrow good ideas than believe everything is excellent when there are areas that need improvement.
That has been my pattern for some hobby projects, however it quickly becomes a mess to keep track of what you have done over a period of time (I have the same bad habit, I commit things so I can freexe my code in case I mess something up).

My hobby project has been to extend a program with a new plugin, but then along the way I found bugs in the core code, and I wanted to upstream the fixes (and the plugin). I am very glad I knew what the fixes where, becasue I more or less had to rebase to the original code in order to untangle the mess of commits I made.

I have also found other folks wanting to use my code, so it also made it much more helpful if ourside folks can see how I altered the original program.

Bold claims of theirs, but no, there is nothing romanticized about this conversation and “Abrahamic” here is simply used for brevity. You figured out what we were talking about which is the point of language.

Sure, but that’s not the question. Presumably gorging on HFCS would be bad for chimps, too. I was asking about the claim that “fructose” is unhealthy.
