In India, there have been traditionally "bone setters" who literally do just that. Did you fall down the stairs and twisted your arm? Or shoulder or leg?
Well they did that.

I saw once at a hospital a kid who had fallen off a bike. There were like 4 men pulling and twisting his pelvis like crazy. I shuddered at the sight. These were actual doctors so yeah.

About the bone setters, they just fixed your twisted limb or foot or something. Over the past many years now they have fallen out of fashion so your nearest bone and joint hospital is where they treat you.

Rest of therapy and stuff is now delegated to physiotherapists.
How are they supposed to treat the root cause being your bed? Come to your house?

my bff is a chiropractor which made me realize that not all of them are shills. he grew up in athletic training and sports medicine and is adamant that he shouldn't be seeing patients for more than a visit or two to mainly make sure the patient is not ignoring something that needs an ortho surgeon and to teach home rehab exercises for recovery...

but.. i live in chiropractor hell in northern indiana.. the number of chiropractors here are absurd. and one of the things they utilize is a body heat imaging scan to determine if patients have: cancer, colitis, celiac's and a world of other stuff.. that they cant actually detect.. this has raised a generation of women that won't get mammograms because of the evil radiation.

on the other hand, my wife is a breast cancer surgeon and business is good here.
> Literally, a belief that you could, for example, cure cancer, by aligning the spine.

I can assure you that 99% of chiropractors would never claim that they can cure cancer.
Of course I apologise if anybody has felt offended.
No, give them what's statistically your real name and a full profile with many of your personal connections detailed on it.

Yep, likewise it’s also disabled in function calls and sub shells that are invoked in an && or || block (i.e., in the above case of you change the if statement to “fn && echo ...” you’ll see the same behavior).

Even worse, you can add the line “set -e” inside the function explicitly re-enabling it and it still won’t change the outcome because errexit wasn’t technically unset!
Same lineage here. Great grandpa was a chiro. His boys all chiros. One of those was my grandpa, and all his boys chiros. None of the next generation took up the mantle. I’m a lawyer.

If the care is outright harmful, we all must have dodged a bullet.

And I have at least one or two anecdotes where the treatment genuinely brought me near-instant, lasting relief for an ache or pain.

> firing into cities

I didn't know that the commanders in IDF were doing that just now -- they've killed 40 Palestinian children and 139 adults, and comparing 40 with 139 indicates that most (almost all?) adults were civilians.

Those "let's stab a bunch of school children" type of people -- some of them are military commanders in IDF, and gives orders about those reckless bombings (of Gaza). That makes Hamas and jihad groups more popular in Gaza. (Whilst the rockets being fired makes Netanyahu more popular in Israel.)
Some chiropractors do have the education and experience to operate as physical therapists. When I was doing competitive weight lifting, I saw a chiro who had a masters in sports medicine and had spent years as a college football trainer. He ran his office like a rehab clinic, and a lot of his clients were high school, college, and amateur athletes like me. He wasn't just popping some bones and moving on, he was working to keep his patients healthy through identifying weaknesses and imbalances and making training recommendations to correct them. Being a chiro got people in the door who didn't understand what their problem was to begin with, just that they needed relief.

The modern age has possibly removed some carcinogens like inhaling smoke from (bon)fires, mycotoxins from spoilt food, nutritional illiteracy and unsanitary conditions.

This is interesting and I’m not sure what you mean. Are you picking a random person and giving them a thousand euros per month? Or are you spending a thousand among multiple people?

There are lots of charities with consistent donations from people (eg, effective altruism pledges) so I’m unclear what your experiment is or will show other than other patronages.

My employer has been running an experiment for a few years where every month they give me a few thousand.

Wages in America have actually been going down the last ten years due to inflation, while the number on the paycheck has stayed roughly the same for a huge segment of society.

Yet nothing was done about this because that's just the market for you, supply and demand, and you just gotta have two jobs if one doesn't pay enough to live. All while American industry has been booming.

But when the hurt happens on the industry instead? When circumstance means that they would have to pay more? That cannot be tolerated, no industry or business should ever have to be in economical turmoil because of shifting economical circumstances, that's only for the little people to deal with.
It’s true it’s getting easier as people see the deadline for the extra $300 unemployment to end in September and are getting worried but we’re still about double the unemployment pre pandemic. Plus with crazy amounts of government stimulus and low interest rates still pumping the economy, jobs are available and money is available.

> I’d like to see some scientific studies proving chiropractic adjustments are harmful.

This is really not at all how science works. On the contrary, chiropractors should be able to prove that their methods work to a community of extremely skeptical scientists, using double-blind tests as is standard practice.

At the end, it is likely mostly harmless, just like homeopathy. It may be even positive, in that receiving regular soothing attention from a bullshitter may have a good effect on your mental health (unless it is used as a replacement for real medical care when there are serious issues).
A lot of what chiros do now is basic physical therapy. When used in conjunction with typical chiro manipulation, it’s quite helpful for the aches and pains of life.

That’s why I hesitate to completely agree with an article like this. I’ll be the first to admit chiropractic limitations. However, there are real benefits when used appropriately. The problem is when the chiropractors get out over there skis, and start talking about solving all of the bodies problems through alignment alignment of the spine.
Coronavirus, UBI, working from home, unbearable traffic, etc are all part of the same technocratic agenda. The world is being re-shaped and most people on this site can't see the wood for the trees. What we are moving into is total governmental control of every facet of our lives - it will be a fascist dictatorship run by google, amazon etc. You may think I am overstating the case, but it is all well planned - take a look at the nice words here:

The governors are not our friends, we are being lied to in order to agree to give up control of our natural born freedoms (to move, breath, control what we put into our bodies). It is the death of individuality, and the growth of the collective. Sad times.
This is true, or arguably true, but we need to remember that real-life policies are never clean, blackboard examples. They're not going to just swap out social welfare and council housing for UBI. It'll be layered in somehow.

Hell... you can "sell" politicians on UBI, have them nod along, and expect them to come back with a proposal for a conditional UBI. They like your idea, it just needed to be optimized it so that only those who need it get it.

That doesn't mean I'm against this. I think it's a positive development, for the reason you outline and others... just mitigating expectations.

I dont want to be the devils advocate. Usually in those cases you would be better consulting another doctor, just in case.

Doctors are also human.

I had a friend who had eye problems suddenly, and the first doctor told him that he would become blind in some more years. Then he told him to put some eyedrops to ease pain meanwhile.

He was devastated. Imagine being in your 18s and then become blind...

Then, he went to another doctor because the eyedrops werent very effective. That new doctor saw again his symptoms and told him that "it was just an hormonal thing, it will be no more when it stabilizes with adult developtment" and gave him more appropiate eyedrops.

Since then he has good health.

A reminder that the national organisation in the UK tried disastrously to censor articles like this through the libel laws:

https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Chiropractic_Associat...

The author they tried to bankrupt was Simon Singh, author of Fermat's Last Theorem.

https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Singh

A "furious backlash" to the lawsuit resulted in the filing of formal complaints of false advertising against more than 500 individual chiropractors within one 24-hour period, with one national chiropractic organisation ordering its members to take down their websites, and Nature Medicine noting that the case had gathered wide support for Singh, as well as prompting calls for the reform of English libel laws
I think this is the natural destination of bureaucracies, because the entire point of a bureaucracy is to reduce risk by creating a documented process for anything you could imagine wanting to do, leaving employees with no opportunities to think for themselves or be creative. So they just get to work, watch the clock, mindlessly follow the rules, and then go home. I suspect the lack of imagination required to work such a job draws people who prioritise stability and predictability over creativity.
I agree with you. Also the sentiment that "I can quit my job on Monday and have my choice of plum offers by Friday." To the degree these exist I assume it's some in-demand cookie cutter keyword skill backed up by the right resume.

Certainly the few times I've changed jobs, it's happened fairly quickly but it was very targeted and always came through someone I knew well (and almost certainly involved a degree of luck).

When it comes to prescient-ness, reading some ancient Greek history (contemporaneously written) really changed my view in that if you read what (IIRC) Thucydides is writing about it's pretty much exactly the same as today ("An old man complained in the streets that the youths are spending too much time lounging around instead of fighting") but slower.
This is why my first instinct when looking something up is to check Wikipedia, not a search engine: the original article will take precedence rather than the more popular thing.
What you've described is a way of catching some memory-safety problems in C++ codebases. There's no easy way to catch them all.

I don't know enough about Rust to comment on whether it does a better job than C++ on reference cycles, but my suspicion is that it does.

I agree. But the original basis for chiropractic care would make claims like this. They would blame the cancer on spinal issues. And that’s what I’m saying is bogus. I agree that most chiros now would not say that because it’s ludicrous.

This is a common misconception. Life expectancy hasn't changed much. It's children dying that bright down the average in earlier years. If you lived to your 20s your life expectancy was pretty much the same as it is now.

FWIW, after spending a year seeing some doctors and getting not even a friggen correct diagnosis for my in-the-end-not-actually-a-"back"-issue, I saw an osteopath (of all things, and he did, in fact, come off like a quack) who suggested I had what I had originally self-diagnosed myself with before seeing the doctors who convinced me otherwise--a sacroiliac joint dysfunction--and then (after wasting some thankfully-small amount of time with even more doctors again) finally went to see a chiropractor to get the specific adjustment all the studies I was reading (sadly, while lying on the floor of my apartment watching BoJack Horseman wishing I were dead as the pain had gotten so bad I could barely even sleep anymore) would simply immediately fix that kind of issue (but which was going to take ridiculously long to convince a physical therapist to do... like, I had even already done months and months of PT) and it was almost like night and day... I only needed to see him like three times over the course of a week (to let the inflamed tissue slowly start to heal correctly while I wore a sacroiliac belt to sleep) and I was essentially fixed. So, I totally appreciate chiropractors have a lot of woo-woo to them (mine included: he seemed to worship a bone in your neck that I am pretty sure doesn't do shit all), but frankly: doctors suck too and chiropractors ain't that bad :/. Like, seriously: I was diagnosed with mild scoliosis of my spine when I was a kid, and the chiropractor I saw was the only person who cared enough--even with my explicitly bringing up that hint--to figure out if I was standing crooked (which he admittedly did with a silly iPad camera app ;P)... shouldn't that be "table stakes"? It turned out I was (and that that fits the pattern of sacroiliac joint dysfunction). Had I just gone to see the chiropractor in the first place--as has been recommended by my (honestly also a bit woo-woo ;P) friends, and which I had turned my nose up at, as being anti-chiropractor is "cool"--I would have likely saved myself a year of pain and a number of secondary effects I accumulated (such as a ton of weight gain from being increasingly unable to move for a year), as I am very confident he would have just done that adjustment on me as a matter of course, and if not he definitely would have noticed how I was standing a bit crooked immediately (unlike any of the three doctors I saw ;P).

> If the furlough scheme meant (some) people don't want to go back to work because they are already earning enough to live comfortably whilst doing nothing, then why would we want UBI?

The situations are not the same. At all.

With the current setup, the options are 1) don't work and receive $x, or 2) work and receive $x.

With UBI, the options would be 1) don't work and receive $x, or 2) work and receive $2x.

Would some people rather not work and get $x than work and get $2x? Certainly. But not all of them would. Not even close.

I'm not necessarily advocating for UBI, but your presentation of the situation is not accurate.
It's not a trend. It's the way companies have always been named. Historically, many were named after people or places.

Cool that you use all those tools. Wouldn't it be cool to be able to depend on libraries knowing they all use those settings? And you can depend on libraries by putting a single line in a toml file.

I mean C++ dependency management is so bad there is a concept of a header only library so you just have to copy the file into your project with no support for managing versions.

C++ dependency management is so bad people use the OS installed dependcies because they struggle to set up a build environment otherwise.

What I'm saying is that C++ is pretty good and toe to toe C++ with all the tools you describe and Rust are fairly comparable. But with Rust the whole ecosystem uses it so the network effects make things much better. And it's snowballing.
There's more to it. The biggest problems,in my opinion,is not the fact that poor Joe is benefiting from not to so poor Jack's tax payments via benefits. The problem starts when there's no end to the support. For instance, you can be on housing benefits for years and that's wrong. The system is poorly implemented and some deeply structural problems never get addressed ( e.g. long term unemployment in a family, single mothers with children and their ability to work+ raise children, etc). Most of these issues require a wide spectrum of solutions,often interlinking with each other,but nobody really want to change anything apart from add/remove a few quid off the benefits payments.
What are the actual consequences of the globe warming by 2 degrees instead of 1.5 degrees? I feel like I never see it quantified. Like is that the difference between Miami being underwater or not? Is that difference going to cause an extra couple cyclones a year?

I'm totally on board with reducing carbon emissions and whatnot, but I don't actually have any idea of the impact.

And maybe it is impossible to quantify. I see some people say it is going to make earth uninhabitable, which intuitively seems wrong. But we do see some effects already, so clearly it's not harmless.
>If I want a worldwide ad (is that even a thing?)

With regards to targeting: yes, you can target any country (and all of them).

With regards to reach: yes, because you'll reach the user on pretty much any site/app with ads, so it's virtually "running worldwide" (from the user's point of view).
YES - absolutely. I think the personal and societal benefits to health and well being stand out. Less so perhaps if you're younger with lesser responsibilities to families and elder care.

I've tried other arrangements - longer hrs/day in return for 1 day off every 2 weeks. Worked well and the benefits are such that at this stage 80% of salary for fewer hours would be a good arrangement.

The real danger is the unstated but practical assumption that you're on the book for fewer hours and lower pay but in real life expected to continue to do 50, 60, more hours week because of culture and events.
