I turned auto play off by default on YouTube. Recently I noticed that sometimes auto play was happening anyway. It seems that YouTube has introduced videos that override my choice called “Mixes”. Whoever came up with that is an evil genius. Now I have to be really careful to click the actual video I want to watch rather than a version of it with the same thumbnail that ignores my settings.

Fuck YouTube.

If someone abuses your doorbell the solution isn't to install a hidden DNA and body scanner in front of your door. Also suggesting that an IP based rate limiter is the same as the surveillance in question is very disingenuous.

Pick a more sensitive area than your IDE, say medicine targeting erectile dysfunction, sexual or religious preferences, etc. You may find that being allowed to collect that data, especially covertly, just to save some money suddenly doesn't look reasonble at all.

But surely I should be allowed to covertly collect any data about you if it enables some savings for me. After 15 comments insiting it's OK you should only approve of this.
I pay $44 per month for unlimited data/phone in US/Canada/Mexico with ATT Unlimited Plus Multiline. But that is because I have 6 people in my family plan. An individual with my plan would be paying $133 per month.

Also, I assume mobile networks are doing heavy QoS when towers get congested, where people who result in more profit for the mobile network get higher priority/more bandwidth.

The Netflix catalogue, and the movie rental/streaming ecosystem in general, was completely different when the AI challenge was going on. It was a DVD postal service. Your ratings mattered, and almost any movie you wanted was available. No one was bored scrolling Netflix trying to decide how to kill two hours before bed.

They are clearly not using the ratings based automatic recommendations any more. It's not even relevant given the limited and generally low-quality content available. It's just about keeping enough people paying.

It's always hard to find implementations of Oberon, so thanks for sharing!

If you (not pjmlp) are into compilers or Oberon I highly recommend Wirth's book, Compiler Construction, that walks through its implementation and his way of thinking about languages and implementations.

> Remote work is realistic for a tiny fraction of the population

I'm skeptical on this point. I think that we're already around 10-20% remote work and might get to 25% remote work in the coming years [1]. I don't think this is a tiny fraction. I'm expecting technology to further reduce the dependence on physical presence over time.

I think remote work has had a significant change (e.g. less commute time, less pollution, more family time) and could cause changes in politics too. Imagine flipping a couple senate seats in a low population density area to further a remote work friendly lawmaking (i.e. land use rules, healthcare, etc...).

I hope that nobody reading this has an unsupervised psilocybin experience in 2021. We are so close to being able to pay for a professionally supervised experience (and you can almost surely find one today if you look in the right circles and come with the right intentions) - these will enhance the moments of clarity and alleviate a lot of the confusion and darkness that are part of the territory with psychedelic experience.

I've benefitted greatly from a handful of psilocybin experiences in my life. The experiences were marked by long periods of profound terror and deep sadness, but I consider these to be powerful literalizations of anxieties, fears and attachments that helped me grapple with them in new ways. That said, I've glanced at scary thoughts that don't occur to me in daily life and came close to getting in trouble when I ran outside. Get a good babysitter - even better, track down a professional.

There's a lot going on in this post, and it's not the most structured, but the graph of healthcare costs by county at age 59 was fascinating: https://s3.amazonaws.com/mx.sairamachandr.in/moogle.cc/blogp...

("This map of the 2018 2nd Cheapest Silver ACA plans shows the variance against the cost for 2 people, aged 59, with King County, Washington as the base. The olive green color is zero-ish variance. The darker the green, the cheaper the health insurance is in that county. The darker the red, the more expensive that county is compared to King County, Washington.")

Without benefactors providing large amounts of capital how would we advance our knowledge and thought? Without some form of inequality of wealth we would never have had the enlightenment, industrial revolution, and health systems that we have today. The poor today are better off in almost every measure than the poor of 300 years ago. Heck, the poor today are better off than the wealthy of 300 years ago. This is all due to large amounts of capital being invested or donated into science and technology. To an extent wealth inequality is a necessary evil. It's certainly exceeded it's beneficial point at the moment, but that doesn't mean we should throw capitalism away, we only need to rein it in some.

Everything you'd do with adb.
Maybe not, but you could show it to people whose context reveal that they might be interested – e.g. searching for "IDE" or "Elixir", reading about developer tools, etc.

This is known as contextual advertising.

Surveillance is not essential to internet advertising – in fact neither ROI, effectiveness or perceived relevance (when compared to all alternatives, including contextual advertising) has never been proven.
"It isn't like most countries let you walk into a shop and buy them."

No. But you can walk in to the forest and pick them.

You really do need to identify them properly, though, and not just pick random mushrooms.

For help in doing that I can highly recommend Alan Rockefeller's excellent videos on psilocybin mushroom identification: [1] [2]

Another option is getting mushroom spores (which are legal in most states in the US) and growing them yourself.[3][4]

There are also various other legal psychedelics, like morning glory seeds[5], hawaiian baby woodrose seeds, and salvia divinorum[6].

Some sorts of breathwork (like holotropic breathing) is actually effective at inducing altered states of consciousness comparable for some people to psychedelics. It's not clear how safe such breathwork is long-term, as not enough serious studies of it has been done, but at least breathing is perfectly legal everywhere.. last I checked.

Perhaps you can contact the macOS team that develops this and ask them to provide some kind of hook for keyboard drivers. From experience, I can tell that the Logic team listens to its users, but it's a smaller, and highly technical user group, of course.

For my part the notifications seem almost completely random except that they come when I’m sitting down. I have not noticed them happening when I’m particularly stressed. You’ll notice in the app that you can specify how many notifications you get per day, further suggesting that it’s not tied to stress indicators in vital signs.
For just turning something on or off I've been happy with the "IoT Relay" from Digital Loggers [1][2][3]. It is essentially a power strip with 4 outlets and a control connection. The control connection can take either a DC signal from 3-60 V or an AC signal from 12-120 V.

One of the outlets is always on, and the other three are controlled by the control signal. Two of those are normally off and turn on when the control signal is present, and the third is normally on and turns off when the control signal is present.

I'm using it to control a space heater with a Raspberry Pi. The GPIO pins on most microcontrollers commonly used in DIY projects will work directly to control the relay.

The first (oldest) post on the blog index is still a Moogle tutorial/example post. I suggest to delete/unpublish it.
Transgender people are a very vulnerable group, with a much higher suicide rate than the general population, and, they especially out of all disadvantaged groups need to be treated very carefully, with the utmost respect and kindness.

Something I learned when one of the candidates for a university election I was voting in was found by the LGBTQ Society to have written an article along these lines, is that articles like this need to show more empathy towards the transgender athletes. They’re humans too. This author treats them as near-unnamed other of “These Athletes”. They’re a faceless, indentityless other. They also repeatedly refer to the other competing athletes as “girls”, and never the transgender athletes as so.

I’m not offended by this language, and I agree with tye assertion that it’s unfair for athletes born as women. However, you aren’t going to win over the people you need to win over with language like this. You need to be extremely kind and polite and lay out your case with regard to how tg women feel. It’s not enough to make your case as a matter of discrimination against women and expect the woke world to rally behind you.

I would imagine that a fair amount of tg women agree with the argument, if possibly not the presentation, in this article. The tg women competing in and winning these events are basically providing reactionaries with a stick to beat all tg people with. The problem is that articles like this, and when Joe Rogan opens his big mouth, despite good intentions, largely spread suspicion and fear of tg people

True intelligence is collaborating in raising prices, as everyone wins. An incumbent who refuses to participate can be forced out by systematically lowering prices until they go bankrupt. Always assume something with more power and money than you is going to take every step they can to bully and mess with you, because it has been obvious for a while it will. The whole "the market will fix it" argument is untrue in so, so many scenarios that it's not worth addressing beyond that.
Well… like. If I were living in the Netherlands I would not care one whit.

An IP address being used in the course of providing the service is not surveillance. That's like saying "Amazon knowing where to ship my package is surveillance." It's a bad argument, in my opinion.

Regardless, consider a DDoS attack. If every new request is coming from a different IP address, how do you continue providing service to your legitimate customers while blocking that malicious attack? Knowing the attacker's IP addresses doesn't do you any good... because they can just keep using new IP addresses, and blocking the old ones doesn't do any good.

This is where heavily surveillance-based systems like Google CAPTCHA often come into play, and I have very mixed feelings about those.

There are some non-surveillance-based captchas like this one[0] that I saw on HN awhile back, and I hope those become successful.

Gibraltar’s airport is one of the weirdest and coolest I’ve ever seen: https://www.amusingplanet.com/2011/11/gibraltar-airport-worl... You just casually walk and drive across the runway a few minutes after a plane lands. Their ATC must have quite a lot on their plate.

But Gibraltar has managed to efficiently pack a lot of services onto that one small rock.
Liquidity has a tendency to dry up when everyone wants it, especially in a highly-leveraged derivative. The fact that options have an expiration date seems to mean that trading cannot just stop when things are going badly.

The market cap chart in the article suggests otherwise; since this started hundreds of billions have been wiped off the value of his business empire and its still declining. The trigger was simply a speech where he didn't even criticize the government directly, just the financial infrastructure (which is itself very interesting - why is the CCP so sensitive to criticism of its banks?).
There are concepts like equal enforcement and equal justice which by definition require what you are terming as "whataboutism" to highlight.

If there is going to be selective enforcement of content, then call it what it is - politics.

No sincere effort to minimize harm would ignore the harm caused by religion, astrology, homeopathy and other ideas like this.
As of last year when I finally quit, the DVD catalogue was still great, but service was so slow that it costs less to rent movies to stream individually.
That's a problem though. Rules that don't get enforced (or can't be) can then be abused to target anyone those in power don't like. Their very existence itself is an affront to freedom.
They did that to verify your age to buy cigarettes on a vending machine a short amount of time in Austria. Obviously everyone was tricking it with paper masks.

They're fairly rare, but they do come up. It allows you to very quickly create data, and since it's multiplication it can very quickly create a lot of data. It's mostly a way of thinking about things rather than something you actually do.

Usually they can be written as an INNER JOIN because what you really want is a non-standard join or a partial CROSS JOIN. You want a Cartesian product. For example, maybe you want to join an employee table to a calendar table to produce a list of dates for each employee. Usually you want a subset of the calendar though, so you end up with something like:

SELECT *
FROM Employee e
INNER JOIN Calendar c
ON c.Cal_Date BETWEEN '2021-01-01' AND '2021-12-31'

They also come up when you define an inline table with a VALUES statement, which is like creating a virtual table in a query. So if you want one row for M-F, you could do something like this:

SELECT *
FROM Employee e
CROSS JOIN (VALUES ('M'),('T'),('W'),('R'),('F')) d (Day_of_week)

Note that we have to give the system an alias for the "table" we're making and a name for the column we created, too.

Another common use is with a tally table, which is a utility table that stereotypically has a single column with integers from 1 to some arbitrary value (10,000 is common). It's got many uses. Say you want to look for non-English letters in names. You have a UNICODE() function that returns the character code of a single character, and a SUBSTRING() function that returns a substring of a character field.

SELECT *
FROM Employee e
INNER JOIN Tally t
ON t.N BETWEEN 1 AND LEN(e.Name)
WHERE UNICODE(SUBSTRING(e.Name,t.N,1)) NOT BETWEEN 32 AND 126

Note again that it's not actually written as a CROSS JOIN here, but it's the same line of logic that leads to CROSS JOINs. We're creating a Cartesian product. You could write it as a CROSS JOIN, but this method makes it a bit more readable to understand the logic.

(The above is written with SQL Server or T-SQL. Other RDBMSs have different syntax, but can generally do the same things.)
How do you then un-gun your feed? Select a recommendation from a different topic? Or, how long does it take for the gun recs to go away if you don't pick any? It's interesting that there'd be a burst of recommendations around a new topic.
I have used financial ruin as one of the criteria for harm. There are far more examples of people who have been reduced to financial ruin because of astrology, so I am correct with regards to the quantitative comparison.

That may not be a lot of money wherever you live, but a married couple both making close to that are borderline rich where I live. A single person making that is above middle class. Of course a nice house can also be had for $150k.

If you want examples other than 4chan, look around. The state of several first-world countries (you probably live in one of them) is the result of threat ignorance.

You are selectively highlighting part of the comment.

The full context is that it should be rejected outright IF other forms of harmful information are allowed to remain.

Any selective enforcement of this nature is insincere because it blatantly ignores more harmful examples.

If there is a comprehensive enforcement that treats all harmful content equally, it can be considered sincere, else it is simply politics. These are not minor examples, they are far more dangerous than the examples being cited in this study.
