Hm, since Wikipedia dumps are public, has anybody tried? Moving wikipedia itself might be a large endeavor, but seeing some submissions on HN I think a very dedicated dev or two could possibly manage a rewrite to have a proof of concept.
The solution as imagined wouldn't be worse than the problem. There should be a simple, easily accessible "reject all" (or the individual choices should default to reject). This is an issue with inforcement.
Huh? Most clinics definitely do not co-administer benzodiazepines.

What’s your reference to patients not remembering their experiences?

What’s your reference to ketamine being tied to the opioid system? Never heard that. In fact there is a lot of research that shows it works differently.

Honestly, your comment seems totally misinformed. It’s like you’re just confusing ketamine with some other drug.
I don't know, why would the trust not go down? Is this a riddle? Of course trust has gone down.

I'm not saying it's unexpected, I'm remarking on adverse market conditions that will affect most of HN.
Reduce, Reuse, Deorbit

(3R's was a campaign manufactured by the plastics industry to shift environmental blame onto individuals rather than what industry could've done, such as: waste stream capture, lifecycle management, material minimization, minimum recycled content, and so on.)
For what it's worth, Kurdistan, the north of Iraq has been open for tourism for many years.

Kurdistan is the semi-autonomous region of Iraq, whose capital is Erbil.

I've been through twice, the first time at possibly the the 'worst' time - just after the rise of ISIS in Mossul, and when the US was bombing just south of Erbil.

Despite initial concerns, safety was never a problem. I felt safe; did not feel like an unwelcome presence, and moreover, it was an incredible experience.

No visa is required, you get stamped in at the border. The police and Pershmerga were kind, dutiful and not overbearing.

Although it's a sliver of the rest of the country, there are many very interesting things to see (the spiritual centre of the Yzidi, Erbil, the mountains to the North, etc etc).

Kurdistan is secular, with a mix of ethnicities and religions. There is at least one third of women who do not wear the hijab, and the burqua is rare. (You see more burquas in the east of Turkey).

My second visit was during Ramadan, and I was surprised to see people drinking alcohol in the streets and bars.

(Please note, I don't consider a country's "modernity" by its acceptation of alcohol. The point is more that there is a deep culture of tolerance and acceptance within Kurdistan, which can be demonstrated with examples such as the consumption of alcohol).

In regards to losing rights to travel under ESTA, I have visited the US since without issue, even with an Iraqi stamp in the passport. With that said, I imagine that simply replacing your passport after a trip would be a workable solution as well.

>, and like anyone else in the entertainment business, they get to choose how and when they interact with the press. [...] Nobody expects Scarlett Johansson to give them the time of day right after she walks off set,

That's not the right analogy. The closer analogy to Naomi Osaka's tour obligations for post-match interviews for Hollywood actors' is the press junket (the promotional campaign) after the filming is completed.

E.g. Scarlett Johansson (and other Marvel film actors+directors) appearance at Comic Con[1] is a contractual obligation to help build hype for the film. She didn't travel to San Diego because she wants to "engage with fans" or collect the latest comic books. It's her job. On the one hand, actors find the endless media appearances to be tedious with the same stupid questions being asked but on the other hand, they begrudgingly accept the film studio's contractual requirements to attend them because it helps boost the box office results. Therefore, if actors want to opt out of Comic Con press events for "mental health reasons", the professional way to do that is to not accept the roles from Marvel Films in the first place instead of protesting a known contractual clause after the fact.

To my mind wilful ignorance is not a defence. If you know they'd say no if you asked so you don't ask them, that means you know it's against their wishes.
Why your life is a lie?
Another amazingly horrifying example is Project West Ford[0] in 1963 which dispersed 480 000 000 copper needles at an altitude of ~3500 km to create an artificial ionosphere facilitating military communications.

I have never seen a captcha in google search and my search patterns are pretty similar. I also usually hop between vpns to be able to access libgen, scihub, etc and still google never seems to think I’m a bot. I am using chrome on mac and I’m logged in chrome with my google account.

That may be general. Sounds like what the Buddhists mean by attachment that should be avoided?
So you really think russia would invade a NATO country triggering a direct NATO response, with all the nukes still around?

Do you know something I don't that makes this scenario likely?
> The real problem with the law is that you need a cookie to set the preference for the tracking to begin with, which I don't want. The law of course states that there shouldn't be any tracking without explicit consent.

The law doesn't concern itself with tracking directly. It talks about the use and handling of personal information. Putting a cookie on your machine to record that you rejected all tracking (i.e. "tracking=no"), is perfectly fine and does not require consent. It is not personal information.
Good point, bad framing. We should scrutinize Apple just as much. And they're doing it for much longer. At the same time Apple forbids Apps to push ad notifications (unsuccsesfully), which is even worse.
That would depend on its goals.

I’m not sure what likely goals would be likely to lead to it having an account here.

If it was sufficiently human-like to have its desires be ones that it has in the ways humans have them, a weird mishmash of short term terminally/intrinsically rewarding stuff that happen to be also useful with long term goals it also has, in a way with fuzzy boundaries and whatnot,
Or, I guess I mean, if its desires included doing things that it “liked doing” even though not the most efficient way of achieving long term goals,
Then I suppose in that case it might be motivated by satisfying curiosity for its own sake, or socialization,

But unless it is structured very much like a person, not just an generic agent,

Really, unless it was a person, though perhaps still with very alien thought processes,

I don’t see what motivation it would have to have an account here.

Well, I suppose if it were attempting to manipulate people.

So, I guess, if there is one here, you had better hope that it is quite personlike.
I suppose I was implicitly assuming "in an economic manner". You're very right that humans do things that narrow, economic game theory can't account for (e.g. the RAND secretaries playing Nash's "So Long Sucker").

To put my argument in context: consider IRC. An economically motivated BFT system would give the IRCops and channel ops some kind of quantified share of power that they stand to lose if they defect. But doing that, I think, would not just be a difficult programming exercise; it would also undermine the ops' intrinsic motivation and lead to a worse environment.

So the likes of Bitcoin work well if the protocol is designed for (game-theoretically) selfish participants whose interests lie mainly in the number going up. But that's a very narrow niche. Your genealogy site would probably suffer if it had a "number of family names added" counter and the users' status was measured entirely by such a number.
If WMF would only run the website, the content would only be advertisment and propaganda.

Speeding 2x isn't enough to enable attacks when they already take exponential time.

It applies most commonly to curves with an equation of the form y^3 = x² + b
which mathematically imply that (x, y) and (x, cuberoot(y)) are both points on a curve and so you can split a n bits scalar into two n/2 bits scalar and do double scalar multiplication.
Automated targeted killing devices have not existed before. That distinction is very important. The difference between "randomly kill some person in the future who goes through this area" and "upload picture to kill target" is HUGE in practice.
Making stuff like this still requires specialized software, but software development is far more readily available and accessible. The proliferation of software is also essentially effortless, so a terrorist group or similar could have a single team supplying standardized designs worldwide.

Consider the hobby of FPV drone racing. The designs and plans are widely available, and you can get a top-notch drone for about $2000 for a first-time purchase (less for the subsequent ones, since you'll already have goggles/radios). These drones are regularly built by teenagers and it's not difficult at all to add capabilities to the drones, such as target tracking, autonomous operation, software-defined radios for jamming resistance, etc.

What do you think sport is ? A fair competition of disciplined skills ? It's a business whose ONLY value is the emotions it triggers in people...

We don't care about a poor girl running around with a tennis racket, we care about the story, where she comes from, which population she represent when we beat her or she beats us.

A league of serious sportpeople seriously competing without any storybuilding... Look at how you even feel emotions at her being the David vs the Goliath of sport lol, that's what it's always been about.
I'm very deeply invested in football (soccer for my freedom-loving friends). I don't particularly care for athlete interviews, but manager interviews can often be pretty interesting. For example, Marcelo Bielsa can do very interesting tactical deep-dives in pre and post-match interviews. That said, the majority of these interviews are pretty bad. Vacuous reporters chasing headlines or expecting a particular answer and working backwards from that to frame questions. There has been some pushback from players and managers.

An example of this is the UEFA Champions League Final this weekend. The player who scored the winning goal was the club's record signing but he hasn't had a very prolific season in terms of goals and assists (long story, he caught COVID and had a tough recovery, the managers and tactics changed multiple times this season, etc.). Moments after the final whistle, the entire team is celebrating and a journo decides this is a good time to ask "there were questions about your performance and your price tag, do you feel like you have paid it off in full with tonight's goal?" The guy just said "Right now I don't give a fuck, we won the fucking Champions' League."
Actually phrased like that, the second is more interesting.

The first version is about centralizing all informations so it can be consumed. It's the traditional view of knowledge dissemination, scaled to the whole world instantaneously. The second version is about giving people the tool to produce knowledge so it can be shared with the whole world. Just like the printing press spread authoring power from a select few people who bothered to write everything, to anyone with enough money to buy a machine, Wikipedia is giving the power to share knowledge from those who had the right curriculum to anyone with a bit of motivation.

This is the revolution that Internet and the Web promised (not just allow everyone to watch and listen, but give everyone a voice), and I'm glad Wikipedia is doing it. If it takes more money to fulfill that mission then it's totally worth it.
That's the trick though: she'd be banned from future events, which she doesn't have a contract for yet.
Hey, you're cheating with unlimited fuel.
This could work for cookies but how would it work for other types of tracking. GDPR is not about cookies per se but about tracking.

I mean, if you want to make a website with different goals and properties than wikipedia, by all means go make one. Wikipedia is just one way of doing things. Its hardly the last word on how to make an online encyclopedia, and quite frankly, some competition in this space would probably be good for everyone.

But disagreing with wikipedia's goals as a product is very different from a claim that the solution intended to meet those product goals is over-engineered.
TL;DR

Running schema validation tests is important, and the sooner the better.

If all machines (local developers environment, CI, etc.) have access to your Kubernetes cluster, run `kubectl --dry-run` in server mode on every code change. If this isn’t possible, and you want to perform schema validation tests offline, use kubeconform together with a policy enforcement tool to have optimal validation coverage.
The main value of wikipedia has been provided not by the wikipedia foundation, but by the volunteers who write the articles on wikipedia.

My work on wikipedia articles is for the benefit of my fellow humans, not to allow some organisation to start implying that everyone has a moral obligation to give them money. That was never part of the deal when I contributed my work.
This article smell like something, which can be identified by using the "cui bono?" magic words.

I just donated more money to Wikipedia just because.
One of my plans for my retirement days is to make a cubesat that uses a solar sail to gain momentum and then somehow give that momentum to space junk so that the junk falls down to atmosphere faster. Then use the sails again to increase the momentum of the space garbage collector for the next piece of garbage. Unfortunately this plan has still quite a few gaping holes in it.
Yes, I'm pretty sure Ukrainians find it funny as well.
Archive.org is a lot less people intensive than what WMF does. Even the book scanning work they support is mostly done by third parties, and they largely focus on hosting the resulting content. Wikipedia can't work like that, no matter how much some people wish it could.
There were a billion people you could send messages to, and receive messages from. That’s what got them of the ground.

A system where you can’t message half your friends because they bought their phone from a different manufacturer would have had more trouble getting traction.
Wikipedia is bleeding editors and keeping others away because of the ever more hostile environment. Try to edit something and you get blasted of Wikipeda very fast with a boatload of jargon.

This is something they should work on. But as every club that get successful and was open (I attended many Wiki/Wikipedia meetups 20y ago) it gets more restricted and close to keep the masses out. What a shame.
Another option that’s becoming available is lozenges.

How many treatments have you had? Did you go into the “k-hole”? It seems that having the right setting and the state of mind matters. Doctors are still doing a lot of guesswork and stumbling around to find the most effective approach.

It seems to me that modern western democracies are little more than a facade - most of the political parties are essential the same, or very nearly so. And certainly foreign policy and the security apparatus seems to be the same regardless.

So, I agree with what you're saying, but being realistic, citizens can't really change anything in a modern democracy. Doubly so if any of the magic words can be invoked in relation to the thing they are trying to change ("terrorist", "paedo", "organised crime").

And they absolutely can't change anything in relation to the security services - I seriously wonder if even the government could change anything there, or if the security apparatus really is
> The coronavirus is mainly transmitted through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes or speaks.

Emphasis mine.

Honestly there was no way around the mess, thanks to social media amplifying any popular outrage and misunderstanding to 11. And I'm not excusing the WHO, their role has been borderline criminal at the beginning, and their reactions slow, but it's also very difficult to convey complex information in platforms that are designed to destroy anything resembling attention span.

Their mistake was using a questionable dictionary definition to counter fake news (about COVID-19 being mainly airborne, i.e. lingering for hours in the air like measles, which would have made it a doomsday scenario), and it blew back into their face since it's still airborne under certain conditions.

If they said it's indeed airborne, then it would have blown back as it's not really transmissible in the way other airborne diseases are, and would have been seen as overreaching and exaggerated.

As most things, the truth lies in the middle: limited ventilation may let the virus accumulate in the air enough to reach a viral load that can cause an infection, but social media just flattens everything to black and white, because it's what brings engagement and ad revenue.

Then you have tons of nuances: cold humid environments (vs. hot dry) boost droplet transmission as they can travel farther, but hot dry environments make the droplets turn to aerosols faster (and hence, accumulate in a poorly ventialted area more easily) [0]. Note that while this study is from September 2020, this kind of effect is seen in other respiratory viruses and is not unusual at all.

You just can't convey all of that swiftly and in a convincing way between a cat meme and a gif reaction to the latest Trump tweet.

The beauty of Wikipedia is that nothing prevents you (or other people) from writing those missing articles.
In one sense, "Yes". A water softener using this principle just needs a source of Sodium ions, and Sodium Chloride aka salt is exactly what's called for in this application. They do literally just need salt.

But in another sense, "No". The people selling you table salt know it's for cooking and eating not to run a water softener, so they may tweak the product for these purposes. The product should be labelled, but we saw earlier that people don't read the fine print.

For example isn't it annoying when the little grains of salt stick together in a salt shaker? In some environments it's difficult to prevent plain salt from doing that, especially if it sits in the shaker for a few weeks because you (sensibly) don't use extra salt in most food. But an anti-caking agent reduces this problem while not making any difference (in a tiny quantity) to the taste or dietary effects of the salt. A water softener does not need anti-caking agents, so the manufacturer recommends using dishwasher salt.

Another example: Humans are supposed to have the element iodine in their diet. Some countries historically had a big problem with insufficient iodine, and so the "ordinary" table salt in those countries is laced with (a tiny amount of) iodine. Result: Fewer children with mental development problems. A water softener has no need for iodine, maybe it makes no difference, it clearly can't help, hence, the recommendation specifically for dishwasher salt.
MyFocusSpace – accountability platform – live on PH
Hey hunters,

I am Vio and together with my team, we have been building MyFocusSpace for a few months now.

And we are super excited to launch our MyfocusSpace on ProductHunt today.

MyFocusSpace is a platform that helps you get in the flow. It provides accountability on-demand via virtual coworking for remote workers.

A few months ago, we set ourselves on the mission to help people be accountable for their own plans, including ourselves.

We had no idea what was ahead of us and now looking back we are so grateful for this challenging road and full of learning.

We wouldn't be here today without any of our community members' feedback and we are super grateful for this.

If you have any comments or ideas or feedback, I'll be super happy to exchange with you guys. We appreciate any support.
But how do you prevent people turning against sportpeople when they show disdain at taking a bit of heat for a defeat ?

I'd be super worried my sport league would start looking like a bunch of snotty elitist who refuse to lower themselves at people's questions. It's really really hard to feel pity for a multi-million advertisement model who happen to play tennis :s I almost feel like if she can't do that, maybe we shouldn't watch her and she'd be left alone.
So far this doesn’t seem egregious but there are examples of non-profits cough Red Cross cough where their operational costs outweigh the good that they are able to provide.

Definitely something to continue to watch to see if Wikipedia continues to serve the public good.
