> Before the centralisation of the prison estate in the later 19th century, criminal punishment mostly meant exile or execution.

It is a profound dilemma - for me at least - which among the two is worse: To live in a society in which the sovereign maintains warehouses of living human bodies; or kills people for non-capital offenses.

I would like a society with "neither". And if you ever spend a while in prison, or your friends do, or even if you read some accounts like this one, or Foucault's "History of madness in the age of reason", I think you might draw nearer to this conclusion.
That could sorta make sense if these managers would actually talk to each other, but.. I think they are not.

I'll never understand why we're hell-bent on making sure people are driving around in cars. Instead of solving the problem of commuting by not having cars and by building better, we're just making commuting better and more optimized. It's so stupid. We should be making it so that you don't have to commute, not that you can do more work while you commute or w/e.

Hi, some further information the following day!

The 115 references you mention are for the entire Ivermectin WP page. There are only three related to COVID, and two of those are obviously biased reportage from the popular press. The single pertinent reference left is

https://ebm.bmj.com/content/early/2021/05/26/bmjebm-2021-111...

which is a well-warranted complaint regarding the chaotic nature of the current literature and clinical trials.

The article you cited was behind a paywall, but I was able to get a copy through my university. It contains a warning from the FDA not to use veterinary grade ivermectin to treat COVID, especially without a physician's supervision. That's certainly good advice.

Secondly, there are several letters that discuss the early Caly, et. al. paper regarding in vitro use of ivermectin on SARS-Cov-2 and the dosage levels involved. The point is made that, "Ivermectin's key direct target in mammalian cells is a not a viral component, but a host protein important in intracellular transport; the fact that it is a host-directed agent (HDA) is almost certainly the basis of its broad-spectrum activity against a number of different RNA viruses in vitro. The way a HDA can reduce viral load is by inhibiting a key cellular process that the virus hijacks to enhance infection by suppressing the host antiviral response."

The very great difference between the in vitro dosage level and a clinically effective dosage level is discussed on the third page of this recent article:

https://americasfrontlinedoctors.org/files/review-of-the-eme...

We are in violent agreement about not using the in vitro dose level in vivo! (I think that's a strawman, no one is suggesting that.)

I'd also recommend the following recent article discussing actual clinical experience, written by a physician who makes every attempt to remain neutral and science-based:

It'd need to be able to pull you out somehow - the danger here is being entrapped and squeezed in the grain, not a fall.
Fun fact - if you buy the car new, you may have the "option" of being presented with these choices before purchase. And you can actually refuse! The dealer will be confused as hell, but they are hell-bent on selling a new car, and will actually void it if possible. I know because I've done it. You don't want the weird spyware (OnStar, Carnet, etcetera)? After agreeing to buy the car, refuse to accept the terms (they legally require your signature for this), and they'll find a way to get around it. If they refuse then go buy a different car, because fuck those guys.

Obviously this will vary by manufacturer and feature, and it's getting harder as time goes on to remove this shit from your vehicle.
That "cannot unsee" feeling you have seems like the best remedy to me. Though it's tricky to bring up, if you're not careful you might be perceived as part of the imaginary group with it's imaginary infuriating argument.
That's interesting. We have the chat part already set up in Discord.

I had heard of the OBS Project but I wasn't sure if it would handle my somewhat specific use case.

I know Jellyfin had been working on a feature called SyncPlay but I didn't know how far it had gotten in various clients yet. Out of curiosity, why would you like an RTMP stream setup over Jellyfin in my case? What are the pros and cons?

(I know wanting to set up my own little TV channel for a dozen people is kind of a silly thing to do, but that's the itch I have)
Jellyfin is emby. It is an open source clone of emby, minus the spyware.
Author here: I started by making really small patches at the beginning and building up credibility with the team. For example, one of my earliest commits was just to add better verbiage on migrations (https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/b4c99ea0a4d7e5223fa1b2...). Eventually the core team saw my name enough that my pull requests could get more complex.
I think that, as more people look into the events of January 6th, they will find that the opportunity for violence was very small. Not a single protestor had a firearm. Most protestors did not enter the capitol, most of them didn't even walk from the Trump rally all the way to the capitol. The Proud Boys and other groups ducked out before the event began. Alex Jones of all people was the voice of reason during the event.
Perform as intended implies design. Low fidelity doesn’t deliver the design.

There is no reason Apple should make things that don’t work as designed.

> saying (for example) that desktops won't be supported on any display smaller than a given Retina resolution.

Yes, this is an absurd exaggeration, because in fact we’re talking about a few new features that are not central to the user experience.

> That would be anti-consumer and totally unacceptable.

It would, which is why they don’t do it, and why it’s not representative of anything.

It’s unclear what point you are trying to make other than that they could make bad design decisions if they wanted to, but in fact don’t.
Yep, that's correct! Tax ID validation is included with Checkout (outside of Stripe Tax pricing).
The fed itself says we've already had 4.2% CPI the last year, and that's trusting the fed not to manipulate it's own metric.

https://www.bls.gov/cpi/latest-numbers.htm

The common mantra "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a measure." applies here too, but many HN peeps seem to think it doesn't for some reason.

If you remove the constant adjustments to the CPI you get a _much_ higher rate of inflation than governments will admit.

Have you not noticed what's replaced these? We have hundreds of subcultures: weebs, dank memers, bronies, demoscene, lifehackers, outside, Bitcoin, competitive Pokémon… What you're seeing is a change in who you're bullying, not a change in reality.
After using Firefox's HTTPS only mode I have noticed that quite disturbingly a lot of these auto-injected tracking links redirect through HTTP. I have seen nearly a dozen of websites that have this for password reset links.

It makes me wonder if it could be a viable attack to set up a WiFi hotspot, block login attempts so that some users think that they forgot their password (the error won't be right, but many users may try resetting their password anyways). Then you just intercept the HTTP tracking link and reset their password for them. Now you have stolen their account.

Of course you could just do this passively but prompting it by trying to fail login attempts would get you more hits.

This makes me think of aeronautical industry. It is possible to get a J-3 Cub with just a stick that pulls on the control surfaces or it is possible to get a Cessna private jet with thousands (if not millions) of lines of code in it. They are just different.

My fear is that we'd get to a point in which dumb cars will be something that is no longer a mainstream option. Maybe then we'll need to have our own EAA but with cars.

Back in 1987, I was scheduled for a Midway Air flight from Dubuque to Chicago. They weighed my luggage, then they asked me what I weighed. They assigned my seat based on the second answer.

As for dignified, I don't know what they'd have said if I'd picked out something way to small or big, say 120 or 250. It was mild weather though, and nobody was wearing clothes that would make it hard to guess weight fairly well.
>You're basically just describing a tax system that is paid in consumerism which sucks because it's inherently regressive.

Why is it regressive? High earners pay more for ad-funded sites than low earners. That's not regressive. It's not progressive either, strictly speaking, but it's better than subscription fees which are regressive because everyone pays the same absolute price regardless of their disposable income.

And yet computers have no problem symbolically representing non-rational numbers like sqrt(2), pi, etc. Neither is there any inherent reason why they cannot symbolically represent various levels of infinity, nor why those would be incomprehensible to AGIs (even if the universe is discrete). You're right that only countably many numbers can be represented, but nevertheless even countable subsets of extended number systems can exhibit structural properties that the reals do not exhibit.
retrac’s response to this is spot on so I’ll only add one thing.

In my experience, there were two factors that got me up to 500mg+/day: tolerance and price breaks.

When I first started meth it was incredibly affordable. I could get high all day off 1/10th of my $10-20 bag. Then it became 1/8th of my bag and then 1/4 etc. At some point it became (in my mind) uneconomical to buy little amounts because the $/dose got lower when I went from buying .1g to 1g, and then steeply went down again when I went from buying 1g to 3.5g. (As an aside I never really figured out the economics of meth at scale but the margins must be astronomical considering how big of discounts that street dealers are able to give for relatively small purchases and still make money)

I thought I was being smart, saving money! It turns out that when I had more, I used more. Tolerance built up rapidly and I found that I had to smoke 50-100mg to feel anything.

I also agree that it’s really not worth trying. Your concerns about the supply chain are valid. The difference between “good shit” and “bad shit” is enormous and can be the difference between having a nice day trying (pointlessly) to teach yourself Ruby and a day in the ER.
Why would the year matter when it’s about something that happened decades ago?
Any information on the rate of myocarditis after vaccination vs myocarditis after infection?

They do, in this exact article. 283 cases were noted in the VAERS database, there are about 130 million fully vaccinated people in the US.

I assume they don't track healthy people in the database of adverse vaccination reactions.

I don't want to discount this kind of reason for wanting to "return to the office", and I think it's definitely part of the cause.

However, speaking as an Individual Contributor, I want to be back in the office so badly. I miss feeling really, humanly connected to my teammates. There's just no positive sense of camaraderie. Sure, we can bitch together about things, but I just find myself unable to connect with my coworkers as fellow human beings in my monkey sphere.

Before we went WFH I legitimately loved my job. Now I hate it.
Just my guess. I live in a burb and have seen housing prices spike. And my city metro sprawl affected prices and that’s becoming less of an issue.

Not sure how to actually know this unless there’s Gallop polls or something.

I’ve also been hearing this since I initially wrote this. In any case, the article is about Go as it exists. If Go 2 actually makes significant improvements in these domains I will add an updated header pointing that out.
I’d characterize JS as having moderately annoying numeric limitations rather than serious problems. Two that come mind:

Not having 64 bit integers is a large annoyance. There’s workarounds but none of them are especially ergonomic.

The expression n | 0 is a signed 32 bit int. The expression n >>> 0 is an unsigned 32 bit int.

I'm not making these issues taboo. You claim that agriculture selected for height, yet height amongst humans was of almost identical height except for a few outliers.

What the study you linked showed was a change in around 12 genes across 10 000 years of agriculture that were all related to diet or sunlight exposure. This was because they moved to an environment that forced a completely different diet.

However we know that for 10 000 years we could notice almost every kind of societal organization in most geographical regions, from hunter-gatherer societies, to agricultural societies, to urban societies, etc...

From Africa, to Asia, to India, to the Americas, every single one of these societal structures were observed, and in almost every case the optimal predictor of the presence of these structures were economic and political, not genetic or of ancestry.

So again, that leads me to the question I formulated above, which populations that you're thinking about did not organize in which societal mode? What hypothesis do you have linking which organizational mode to which population leading to which expected cognitive effect? I honestly, really cannot find anything. If you could find something, a study could be made, just like the one you cited above, trying to find the genetic changes as populations transitioned societal modes or between populations in similar environments but different societal modes (the last are fairly rare just off the top of my head).

There just isn't enough to make a solid hypothesis here. If you can make one that's worthwhile I'm all ears, but there just isn't anything to draw on.

> Is that functionally different than channels for the purposes of turning off marketing notifications?

The key feature for me is that, as soon as I get a notification that annoys me, I can long press on the notification and disable that channel or notifications from that app altogether. I don't have to go into the app and dig through a settings menu; it takes me all of 3 seconds to do what I want.

That was my thought as well. Natural immune response should have more vectors of attack since all of the virus proteins are available to make antibodies for.

As another comment mentioned though, the spike protein is unlikely to change much, and if it did, the virus would loose a major weapon in infecting people. So the vaccine is probably as effective as natural immunity in practice.
Nice. Solid advice from Chris.

I’d wondered about the pipes construct in Elixir for exactly that reason. Sure, it looks nice and easy, but based on my experience with Erlang it seemed unlikely to be useful unless you are simply planning on crashing for any errors (which isn’t really the Erlang way).
It definitely makes working with round robin proxies (e.g. k8s services) much, much simpler.

Having proxies be aware of the leader, or having clients being able to access nodes directly instead of behind said proxies, is a lot more complexity.
Huh. My 2020 Impreza has lots of knobs and levers.

About the only time I interact with the touch screen is to control the apps I use (mostly maps and podcasts). Even the podcasts app rarely requires me to touch the touch screen; there are volume and back/forward switches right on the steering wheel. (And also on the console below the touch screen.)

Maybe that's switching back after 2017, or perhaps you use more of the controls than I do.
