In 2011 (maybe 2013?[1]), the IARC put radiofrequency electromagnetic fields in group 2B,[0] which is basically “we're a little worried there might be a problem, but we haven't actually replicated it”.

I thought I remembered them taking it off that list sometime around 2017, but apparently they didn't. Nonetheless, this isn't them agreeing with the claim.

> No, I think they're looking for people who are intrinsically motivated by the drive to do a professional job applying their craft, rather than to use a project as an opportunity to experiment with technology that they want to learn for their own curiosity or career trajectory.

A desire to learn is not a desire to experiment.

> In the same way, when you hire a contractor build you a garage, you look for someone who will use their experience to build a good garage with the best materials and techniques keeping in mind the priorities of the owner, like maintainance, cost, appearance, resalability, etc.

Meatspace contractors try new techniques all the time. You're paying for the ability to accommodate a client, not the ability to do the exact same thing repeatedly.
I would disagree. If they knew I was redoing my bathroom to sell the house and know my sink design choice is less saleable than another sink design choice, I would absolutely want this person to tell me as such and would pay extra money to hire a contractor who would say things like that. And then tell everyone I know to hire this contractor, they are worth the money.
>I quite like the taste and mouth feel of the smoke but the nicotine itself is a bust. Perhaps a very mild caffeine-esque feeling at a push? It hasn't proven addictive as it's been sat out in my car untouched for the past four days!

As someone who stupidly started smoking later in life, that's pretty much how it goes. Nicotine addiction isn't like on TV where you smoke a cigarette or puff a vape and suddenly you're hooked. It's a slow process you find yourself doing more and more often until you realize one day, it's every day all the time.
> The saving grace of this situation is the technology being proposed to do this is neither robust nor particularly useful at achieving their stated political goals.

Yes but we know that technology can improve over time. Given the amount of capital being poured into cryptocurrency, it is reasonable to expect that cryptocurrency technology could get better at achieving its stated goals. It could get dramatically better. The technology is based on cryptography and open source code, trying to ban it would be like trying to ban drugs or guns (good luck).

> the Reserve Bank making up seemingly hostile and uninformed rules regarding something that has no notion of borders

The whole point of being a government organization is the ability to make up rules and define notions of things like borders.

> DNS doesn't have a rich error vocabulary. For your ad-blocked domains, a traditional DNS server has to either lie (bogus answer) or claim no answer exists (NXDOMAIN or OK 0 answers) but HTTP has a rich variety of error codes.

It's a good thing that DNS has a limited vocabulary of error codes. I want the garbage website to think it couldn't load the ad because of a mysterious DNS issue. Having a reason like "DNSHTTP 486: Blocked by Client" would just make it that much easier for the site to deny you access/track you/detect your blocking activity.

Fruit flavors do not exist because of the need to market to kids. Go into any vape shop and watch as grown-ass men, one after another, buy vape cartridges with names like Unicorn Blueberry Smoothie. Children aren't the only ones that like tasty flavors.

As far as their marketing targeting children, I haven't seen any examples of that. Using millennials in your adverts does not equate to targeting children.

Indeed, nationalistic fascism has often had that effect on growing economies, one only has to look at the reverence for 1930's Germany many contemporary American business tycoons had to see respect for growth can lead people astray of what a society is really about.

The National Socialist German Workers Party wasn't always as unpopular as it is today, many thought they were doing a great job lifting Germans out of poverty who had experienced the devastation of the 1922-1924 inflation.

As an aside you may find the book "How Asia Works" illuminating. All the credit to China's relative success ought not be attributed exclusively to fascism, but many of the things that worked are sort of hybrid attempts at adapting to the global capitalist society with some land reforms (seizures) and protectionist measures mixed in.

Fair use cases tend to produce narrowly-written law because the outcomes hinge on how the court judges the facts against the list of factors codified in the Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. section 107). The courts don't really have breathing room to use a different test. I don't recall any cases in which the courts have set binding guidelines for interpretation of these factors.

I've been through something very, very similar.

UX person suggests a design that is sprinkled with choices that clearly are from someone that has not been on the web that long, like wrong icons.

We do a meeting and explain what is going on, what the user wants to see on the page, and the UX comes back (usually that same day - how quick of them) with another version, but this version shows that the UX person did not understand the problem again. And again. And again.

I've seen the UX person showing a wireframe to the user and asking 'Will this cover all scenarios?'. Client said yes, we delivered the feature monday, and tuesday client was 'hummm, without the hability to do scenario X, this won't be used'.

The reason the UX person is so beloved between a bunch of devs is only because of the UI aspect of it - it looks good, something we devs could not come up with. But damn, I would love to work with an UX that I feel that knows what she's doing.

I've been following this story for some time now so I can do what I can when it comes time to stop this mine:

The two men, each slim with a goatee, stepped out into the enveloping silence of southwest Alaska’s wilderness. Before them stretched two of the wildest river systems left in the United States. Beneath their feet lay the world’s biggest known untapped deposit of copper and gold.

This Alaska mine could generate $1 billion a year. Is it worth the risk to salmon?

Yeah, no. Phrases like "makes the energy more biologically active" and "increase oxidative stress ... stress proteins" heightened my skepticism alert because they sound so pseudoscientific; similar to the kind of language you'd find in an essay that alleges "water memory" and efficacy of homeopathy.

It is when you add telemetry to your vegetables.

Imagine if your grocery store terms were that you have to pay to take them home... and also that you must consent to a grocery store employee following you home and sitting in your kitchen, watching your vegetables. They'd take note of how and where you store them, when you use them, how you prepare them, how much you eat in each sitting, what meals you eat them with, and how satisfied you seem to be with them. They'd report all of this information back to the grocery store. They'd also report anything else they see or hear and decide they might be interested in later on.

Does that really not sound extreme?
About fifteen years ago, I set up a student rental website at the behest of the rental management. The list of things they wanted to automate, even then, was astonishing. I have seen this in other situations and it has led to a kind of maxim for me -- never underestimate the number of people who think that you can automate their jobs on their behalf and that they will still have those jobs at the end of the process.

I don't like putting people out of work but that bit about replacing someone with a shell script is not entirely inaccurate at times.

Sure, that's not evolution in the proper sense of this word. Seems to me, the more important, bigger point is that there are a number of cultures or societies or whatever you want to call it, that are very quickly on their way out, that's just math, below replacement and people will die out eventually. So the question is, will they be replaced by other cultures that are not on that trend yet, or will the whole humanity follow, because personally i just don't see how can you fight this trend where it already exists and human life is not likely to be extended much beyond 80 years in the foreseeable future.
When the person choosing the broker is the same one that pays, it creates competition on fees. The renter cannot choose to change the agent to a cheaper one. They have to deal with whatever agent the landlord has chosen.

It works similarly when software is chosen by people who have to use it versus those who do not. IDEs and text editors are usually chosen by the users, so there is competition on usability between different options. Timesheet and other HR software are usually chosen by upper management, and the people actually using them cannot switch, so there is not the same kind of competition on usability. Instead, they compete on other things that make them more appealing to those who can make the decision.

I smoked a variety of tobacco products for years and never got anything out of it either, so it may be that some people just don't work with it. I quit trying long before vaping became a thing but I would expect similar results.

I did end up moving to dip (Skoal) however and that worked. It was never more than a minor buzz but at least it did something. For me it was incredibly relaxing. I quit dip years ago as well but I still find myself with urges to put one in while driving, and especially after meals. Highly addictive stuff and you don't even see it coming.

If you're thinking of trying it though, it is really easy to overdo it and end up dizzy or sick. This is especially true on your first dip. If you're going to try it, take a small pinch first! If you overdo it, lie down and take a nap and sleep it off.

Fwiw, I asked around and couldn't find a hire where this was the case. The schedules are different but the conversion to shares happens once just after your are hired.

This is a bit of a change from e.x. when I was hired and my offer letter said N shares, and so when I joined 6 months later my grant had increased in value significantly. But it's still not the situation in these other companies, where you vest 6.25% of the dollar value each quarter, converted to shares or whatever.

Actually that wouldn't really be compatible with googles vesting schedule, now that I think about it.

There's a place for both- you need the devs who care more about adding business value quickly, and you need the devs that lean more towards perfectionism in how it's built.

Too little of the former, and nothing valuable gets done. Too little of the latter, and you end up drowning in technical debt, preventing the business from adapting as quickly as it needs to
Have unfortunately been a smoker on and off for a while. Am currently using a Juul and have successfully been winding down my nicotine dependence again. They way I initially got hooked was in college. I would not mix alcohol with your nicotine experience. You'll feel it much more acutely. I've also read/heard that people with ADHD are far more susceptible to nicotine addiction FWIW.
I'll add to that - I never found nicotine that addictive. Some grogginess, a little on edge, gone before you know it.

What's hard to quit are the motor memories/habits. Get in the car, reach for your ... wait no we quit that. You start realizing how many little habits you have that way.

Because it can often mean that they lack dispassionate objectivity.

How often have you seen starry-eyed people like this push their pet technology into a project just because it was their passion, but without any view as to the wider technical context or business context. They can be a real menace. Not because they aren't technically competent. But because their judgement is poor. Looked at from a distance, they aren't looking at what's best for the company or the project, but what's best for themselves.
> Companies removing content on their own platforms makes sense. However, governments being able to force the removal of content (such as a "controversial hash tag related to farmer protests against new agricultural reforms") can't be good.

I disagree. Both are bad. When you grow to the size of Facebook, Twitter, etc. Removing content from your own platform allows you to spread propaganda that meets your own agenda. That allows these platforms to promote a politician that maybe trying to reduce corporate tax, and suppress one who is trying to raise it. It’s bad enough these platforms are dictating what’s a conspiracy theory or who we should listen to about Covid.

I can understand that. Copyright was not created with AI/ML in mind, even as a random stray thought. Those were not even words at the time.
