I'm all for having tuxphones but even a $100 Android phone creams the Pine Phone in every aspect regarding performance. The sad truth is until the soc vendors don't start properly supporting a mainline Linux kernel and offer open source drivers we will be stuck with devices that haven't left the "wow this is cool but I wouldn't use is as my only phone" territory.
What a load of bull.

Israel supports who is aligned with their regional objectives. Like when they supported Iran before the takeover. You work with what you got, there isn't big love between Israel and Egypt or Saudi Arabia and why single Israel? Everyone in the world has relationships with these 2 countries.

It's true that a strong Lebanon or Syria aren't in the best Interest of Israel military wise but at least there was someone in charge to keep the "peace" now it's chaos with Iranian backed groups working close to the border to destabilize it and Hezbollah has thousands of rockets pointing at Israel that's not in the best interest of Israel

I'm afraid I don't understand -- the extensions are configurability. That hasn't been removed. If you didn't have an API to configure these things, there would be no way to do it at all, so it still sounds like you're asking for something contradictory. What would help here? What would be the benefit of removing the extension API, and what would you replace it with?
"diverse capabilities" is quite the euphemism.
Telling doctors to not randomly experiment on their patients outside of a controlled studies seems perfectly reasonable. Most medical groups tend to view uncontrolled human experimentation as very unethical and have for a long time.

Can Psychedelic Drugs Attenuate Age-Related Changes in Cognition and Affect?

LSD is one of the safest drugs there are. You may get a bad trip but it ends. Of course people in danger of psychosis should not take it.

People don't get addicted to LSD or psychedelics in general. It's not something you want to take frequently (excluding some who microdose at the levels where you don't feel the psychedelics effects).
I find this description quite unsettling because it is so common. I experienced it myself after trying magic mushroom: We are all one being(we call it the universe), it's consciousness subdivided between us all in order to escape it's solitude. It was scary at the time believing this sad possibility. I'm not so sure but the thought remains. Also follows: whatever you do to me you will be experiencing it.
Even funnier: given that Freenode proper wasn't ever for sale, he only legitimately bought the office's trademark and postal address.
What are you implying, that science published five months ago is invalid?
You also have to have a rebellious and slightly sly streak in you. This helps if you're going to do social engineering. You may have to learn to be more charismatic or learn superficial charm[0] and be able to play people's emotions.

> Once upon a time, a friend of mine accidentally took over thousands of computers. He had found a vulnerability in a piece of software and started playing with it. In the process, he figured out how to get total administration access over a network. He put it in a script, and ran it to see what would happen, then went to bed for about four hours. Next morning on the way to work he checked on it, and discovered he was now lord and master of about 50,000 computers. After nearly vomiting in fear he killed the whole thing and deleted all the files associated with it. In the end he said he threw the hard drive into a bonfire. I can’t tell you who he is because he doesn’t want to go to Federal prison, which is what could have happened if he’d told anyone that could do anything about the bug he’d found. Did that bug get fixed? Probably eventually, but not by my friend. This story isn’t extraordinary at all. Spend much time in the hacker and security scene, you’ll hear stories like this and worse.
From the wording of this sentence it's not even clear if the higher income came after more speeches. Only that they are correlated.

I thought Shannon entropy described the amount of information content in a message; its uncertainty or surprise. Why would it be noise?
When Ben Franklin invented the lightning rod, he had to be persuasive enough to get people to believe that electricity wasn't just a parlor trick you do with a glass rod and a silk scarf. It's also how clouds create lightning, and the fundamental forces are the same.

You have to remember in the 18th century, lightning killed a lot of people. The fact that lightning rods did, in fact, do what Franklin said they would do was persuasive evidence.

I'm not an expert on the history of Ben Franklin, so I don't know if he ever had to explain that lightning doesn't exist to provide divine retribution. But he did have to get each local church to allow a lightning rod on the steeple with a proper connection to grounding, so I'm sure there were some interesting conversations.
I also think some advice that was valid when it was studied back in 1973 isn't so valid anymore. The world has changed a lot in 50 years.

That's so far from the truth, that it's a fraudulent historical claim. They were almost all religious, and the early population of both the proto-United States, and the then-declared independent states were predominantly Protestant.
I mean, alchemy is not a really an advantage for a religion to include these days. Most religions have dropped their medical claims long ago.
> I cannot recommend meditation enough to train the mind to stay calm...

Actually came here to just say that. After reading the piece and just trying to sit tight, I was pleasantly surprised how meditation changed me over the years, in a good way.

My path also has no mantras or music. Just inner reflection. Sometimes things got tough, but it transformed me dearly.
I'm no molecular biologist and I really don't want to attack the this Dr. Doug guy ad hominem, but he must have taken a hell of a bad career turn to end up selling essential oils over Facebook with such a resume.
> I'm not sure what you mean by "that doesn't work in practice" re: using logits.

I suspect they mean they ML models are usually poorly calibrated and that the softmax-over-logits probabilities generally don't reflect actually error rates, so they're tough to use meaningfully for asking people to repeat themselves.

Personally, if I have to deal with an automated order system, I'd rather some kind of search tree that let's me traverse it using three (left, right, back) well separated noises and a "dumb" back-end instead of having to pretend a ML system and I are having the meeting of the minds that a voice based discussion implies.

I understand that such a system would be hard or impossible to train lay-people to use, but it would be nice to have a "cut the crap" option to let people interface more effectively with the order system and not take part in the charade of a "discussion"
Say Something Honest (How To)
I don't think it's so clearly a terrible move. In some respects, IRCcloud is like a metastasized cancer, growing in user count and connecting to every ircd, then moving all that communications traffic through a central service. That's antithetical to the idea of self-hosted, private chat networks which irc allows for. Allowing irccloud makes me think "should have just used discord".

Edit: Okay, on reflection, I was being harsh and... incurious, maybe hyperbolic. Being able to freely connect to a service with whatever client you want is important, maybe especially so for Freenode. I'm still concerned with IRCcloud's effect on the "ecosystem", if you will.

>This is the conversation about poverty that we don’t like to have: We discuss the poor as a pity or a blight, but we rarely admit that America’s high rate of poverty is a policy choice, and there are reasons we choose it over and over again.

This is true of many of society's problems. They're a choice, a choice we can stop making at any point. We're just made to be afraid of the consequences by powerful people who benefit from the status quo.
We should probably say "The Old Testament" since the term "Bible" is ambiguous.

The US is predominantly Christian and Christianity has a big influence on day to day life. "In God We Trust" on USD? Or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Orden_v._Perry ?

Many other countries are basically "Christian" countries or "Muslim" countries or insert your favorite religion. It's just not spelled out as such because it's a given. Is Christmas a holiday? Or is it Yom Kippur? It's easy to advocate for freedom of religion when 99.9% of the population is Christian or Muslim or <insert your favorite religion>.

The old testament is at least partly a historical document so referring to it as part of understanding the conflict is acceptable. Now if your argument simply reduces to "because g*d said so" then I agree it's not a very strong one, but Bennet is an intelligent person and I doubt that's the only reasoning he gives.
I think anticodon is viewing posts critical of Russia as manufactured rather than organic. "There can't be enough people out there who actually think this to post all this stuff, so it must be a troll factory!" But I think that plenty of people do in fact view Russia negatively, and they speak their mind. (But then anticodon could think that the reason that they all think negative things about Russia is because of troll factories driving our news...)

On the other hand, I would bet that both the RNC and DNC have operations that we would label as a troll factory if it occurred in another country. Certain companies do as well (we complain here about wildly overzealous policing of corporate images).

But I don't think that's actually what anticodon is talking about. I think he's just seeing the mainstream press consensus (groupthink?) working its way through the filter of the population, and regarding that as a troll operation.
"Leaving" is a nice euphemism for "channel seized, group contact nicks k-lined, and ops handed over to random buddies of Andrew Lee".
This review is totally correct and I share the hope/idea that this might be the big linux-on-phones jumping-off point. I've been daily driving the Librem 5 with postmarketOS/phosh for a couple of months now, and though I certainly wouldn't give it to my grandmother right now, I can already start to imagine her using a maybe PureOS/phosh on a librem 5-v3 five years from now.
> They insist on not using other treatments outside clinical trials. The argument that running experiments would cost lives doesn't seem coherent.

Clinical trials are structured experiments which follow a certain protocol, ethical review, etc...

> It's not like we have this 100+ yrs practice of dealing with SARS-CoV-2 epidemic with well established protocols

We do have 100+ years of practice in dealing with various diseases, circumstances, including pandemics, etc... In that sense SARS-CoV-2 is nothing special.
Protocols have been developed to ensure that we actually gain knowledge, and not at the expense of the patients.

Should we skip on ethical review boards? Or patient confidentiality? Which part of a clinical study are you suggesting are superfluous?
In my experience, it feels like 90% of Freenode channels have moved to Libera, 5% have moved to OFTC, and 5% have moved to something else like Discord or "just use GitHub issues" or whatever.

Certainly the number of moves to Libera is high enough that in practice the Freenode community/userbase is more or less also on Libera (turns out IRC clients can connect to multiple networks easily). So if you want the old community it's there; if you happen to want to target a different community anyway (and perhaps you were experimenting with these options already), Discord and Slack and so forth are there.
What would you say about doctors prescribing e.g. random SSRI?
Not at all. But since the time this was published many people have been vaccinated and we have a lot of data that the researchers didn’t have at the time of publication. The Speculation in the article, while totally valid at the time, should be replaced by a comprehensive analysis of the available data.

Sites that turn into landfills tend not to have very good reach nor be profitable.
I've seen this sentiment more and more over the last few years here (and on Reddit). Can you give an example of some high quality content that loses out to SEO clickbait at the moment? As far as I can see, a "correctly" crafted query (read: the querymy parents would ask, not the query I would ask) will lead me to a well thought out response on Google 9/10 times, which is judtas often as it did 10 years ago.
Just my 0.02:

True, Microsoft has always had extensive documentation.

However, during the Ballmer era, there was tremendous version confusion. It was no longer clear which version of software a lot of documentation referred to.

I've noticed a huge clean-up in this regard after Satya took over. I suspect he got some very competent person to take over all the public-facing documentation, to make it more user-friendly.

The result: I am willing to trust Microsoft documentation again.
> I could do with a 25% shorter winter and summer, though ;)

I also love spring and fall, spring the most. On the other hand, after reading a piece about how euphoric is spring for nature and it's actually very tiresome for living things, I learned to appreciate other seasons.

I'm a cool weather guy and more resistant to cold than hot weather, I don't dislike winter too.
Funny looks don't bother me too much, but someone is bound to ask if you're okay. Depending on the level of foot traffic, possibly several someones.
I found that the article was loading in full, and only afterward the paywall overlay would appear. Hitting Firefox's reader mode button at just the right time allows me to keep the article content on-screen.
Freenode's BNC is free, it should have no problem competing with a paid service like IRCcloud.
As a purism owner, and a long-time linux user... I think that is a fantasy statement.

Theoretically, there could be an open platform like the PC (with usb + pcie + ATX case/power supply + etc..) with open interfaces. However the reason this came into existence was by microsoft's design to commoditize the hardware to drive software sales of its (closed) operating system.

With cellphones all of those interfaces are being subsumed so the trend is one chip + a display + a battery. The chip is IP of many vendors.

Additionally, the linux distributions have not had the highest performance. For example, frequently there is poor or no graphics acceleration.

I think Linux will always be behind commercial/proprietary platforms. One could arguably say that the iphone is a multi-billion dollar platform, with more careful engineering, development and tuning than any other device on the planet.

That said - I do believe linux based phones are nearing that "good enough" stage where dedicated users can make it work for them and people may at least have a choice.

Open-Label studies on some poor country are not "quality evidence". (On the other hand I don't take that manufacturer's statement as a fair and honest assessment of the drug)

We do need serious studies on the repurposing of drugs, but people take it as their silver bullet.
I’ve found shared interest has actually been a very bad predictor of whether I’ll enjoy spending more than five minutes around somebody IRL.

An argument could be made on a tinder-ization of intellectual discussion. That is, it’s so easy to move on to the next stimulating discussion online that you are less willing to invest in chancy RL interaction.
> Sadly google seems to hate the chromecast and even their own software gets worse at casting to it every year.

Yeah, I've always been amazed at how unreliable and broken the Chromecast software seems to be (for me, at least). I feel like Google really missed an opportunity here.

If this hadn't been the case, I personally would have purchased more of them and, importantly, recommended them to many people. But, after a couple tries (gen. 1 and gen. 2), I gave up.
> why am I not building lasting friendships with them?

I remember arguing with a high school teacher that 50 years in the future countries as we knew them would no longer exist. People would cluster online based on shared interests and goals.

That was 30 years ago. I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest it ain't happening the way I thought it would.
free floating spike in vitro cultured human cells developed pathological state.

when a spike protien is expressed as an insertion into the cytoplasmic membrane there is very limited mobility, and less potential to approach ACE2 with appropriate orientation and energy for receptor ligand-interaction to occur, this would result in somewhat less interaction of the spike with the rennin angiotensin system[RAS]. a concern would be the possible development of abberant or deletion type spike protiens translated from undesirerable spike-mRNA species, the scenario of most concern would be a spike protien with malformed or deleted transmembrane domains, thus allowing a speudo spike protien to move freely outside the host cell.

this doesnt indicate that there is an unconceived problem, this publication is recognizing that perturbations of the RAS are highly consequential; a major part of covid pathology; and a hidden gotcha, should vaccine development ever become cavalier regarding RAS signaling and spike based agents
> In summary, America is good at allowing the poor to become middle class. It is less good at letting the middle class become exorbitantly rich, though not terribly so.

The common view is the opposite though: higher tax rates and lower entrepreneurship in Europe are assumed to put a damper on the middle class from amassing significant wealth. On the other hand, the US has significantly more billionaires per capita than most countries in Europe [1], and many of those are "self-made" (i.e. not generational wealth). What am I missing here?

"Dr. Robert Malone is the inventor of mRNA Vaccine technology." - here he is discussing Ivermectin with Bret Weinstein: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_NNTVJzqtY

Another video Bret had to re-upload and only a short amount of it, because YouTube removed the original and gave him a strike for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q01LUg97eto
It's funny how everyone agreeing with YouTube hasn't watched the video in question.

Y'all are very opinionated on the 2nd or 3rd level information instead of the primary source.

Every country in Europe aside from Russia has a population smaller than 100 million. Israel is larger than Austria by population.

Also, Israel is an ethnostate (of sorts) which has perennially been in some kind of armed conflict since its inception.

If Austria had wars and territorial disputes with all its neighbors, and received tens of billions of dollars from the US in military aid, and was nuclear-capable, and had a Prime Minister who wielded strong influence over US politics through an organization like the “American Austrian Public Affairs Committee”, we’d probably hear a lot more about it.
> The Fuchsia code itself is open

Any of the common “vices” like gambling, porn, Skinner box games, some drugs are difficult for people to manage. That dopamine hit burns behavioral pathways into the brain and is tough to undo.

I know. I agree that the "these people should die" comment should be flagged, but I vouched for the "Rob Pike is my idol and I think syntax highlighting is overrated" comment. It may deserve a downvote, but I think flagging is excessive.

Even the lamontcg's "you outdid the other commenter" comment was flagged instead of downvoted. I vouched for that, too. I think people are too trigger-happy on the "flag" link. Flagging is generally done for spam and wholly inappropriate content like porn or wishing death, and I can't see either of the comments I vouched as being that.
Very interesting indeed. Thank you for sharing.

> is a crime against humanity

This is an offshoot, but I wish this form of hyperbole would stop. “Crime against humanity” is a technical term. Watering it down to refer to everything one doesn’t like dilutes it. We have actual crimes against humanity that cannot find political ground, in part due to the term’s semantic satiation.
It is trivial. I just told you what to remove, and tracebacks will inform you of the ordering.

I would advise the ‘newbie’ you speak of to learn how to read a basic error message and how to use the backspace key before tackling d3!

(For reference, just this week an intern on my team needed some d3 boilerplate for a fairly complicated plot. I wrote it for her in observable, with some guidelines on where to go next. She finished what was needed and cr’d directly to our codebase - at no point did either of us worry about the supposed difficult translation between observable and a js file.)
