> And the simple fact is you are not forced to possess textbooks nor attend the university, no matter how beneficial it may be to do so. This is how people rationalize all forms of crime.

This is a good argument. I'll try to speak for others when I say that the problem is with professors who actively engage in predatory behavior to gouge students. I appreciate that's not the norm, but it happens enough to at least be perceived as a major problem.

The predatory behavior lies in identifying a group of people who already have considerable sunk cost in their education, and then using a combination of methods (such as decreeing a monopoly by assigning your own books, and creating scarcity by insisting on this year's revised edition) to force them to purchase material or potentially waste the enormous sunk cost already incurred.

You write "we" don't do that, so I'm assuming you're a professor who assigns, and maybe even writes, textbooks. I'm sorry if this whole thread is turning into a personal attack on you. For my part, it absolutely isn't meant to be that. It's an attack on predatory practices that (a minority of) members of all professions occasionally engage in. This time the profession in question happens to be university professors.

I think few people have problems with IP law in and of itself. We have problems with the weaponization of said laws to exploit those in vulnerable positions.

All sounds very profound. But a photo shows so much more : it shows how fit you are, if you look healthy and happy. It also shows how you treat yourself and how you feel about yourself.

So much this.

Simple self experiment: If you are super hungry, try compare:

1. Eat a bowl of plain steamed rice (in hot water can make it go down easier) - you will very very quickly become satiated and stay that way, probably on less than a small bowl.

2. Eat cake, croissants, stuff that is sweet but not too sweet that you can keep eating it... initially you will stop, but then you will feel hungry again and keep going back for more - you can just keep eating on this stuff, even though the energy density is way higher.

The other difference is the speed at which the energy is released, the rice will keep you going through the day, your body gradually extracting energy from it... the cake and stuff get's absorbed almost instantly and so your body has nothing to do but make fat with it - the only way your getting that energy back is through ketosis, which wont happen so long as you keep eating cake.

It makes a lot of sense when you start to think about how things have been modified from their natural state, even orange juice is kinda bad in this sense - you can drink a glass of orange juice pretty easily, but there is no way you will be able to eat the number of oranges it took to make it in a single day.

People are getting fat because they are consuming more calories. And they are consuming more calories because processed foods are engineered to make you overeat them.

In the context of this discussion, ‘Europe’ doesn’t do ‘R&D’.

Biotech/Pharma are international. Irrespective of the home location of the organisation, virtually every drug trial from phase I onwards will be run in multiple countries. Further, virtually every drug found to work and filed with regulators for a license, will be filed internationally: Europe (EMA), US (FDA), and a whole host of smaller independent country regulators: Japan, Australia, Switzerland, etc.

So within the overall business model of a given company, there’s no link between the countries in which research is performed, and the prices ultimately set in those countries.

Drugs are more expensive in the US simply because there aren’t any pricing controls (beyond maybe some bargaining by providers; I can only assume this is because of the power of lobbying over the political process in the US). Drugs are cheaper where there’s an established process for determining or controlling prices.
This would be great in gamedev to consume various performance numbers when optimizing. I have the problem that if I'm looking at the framerate then I'm not looking at the frame and vice versa, so I end up repeating the same actions over and over again. Experiencing performance as audio rather than a visual indicator is a great idea.

> You're detouring into minutae in order to avoid my refutation of your idiotic "only in hindsight" claim.

Detour into minutae? Let's be clear: I'd like to stop talking to you, your style of debate is quite unpleasant. I get it, you have opinions. You can keep them.

> Nowhere did say or imply that Afghanistan has been "mostly the same" for 200 years straight.

How else am I to interpret this paragraph?

"Pick any aspect you like-- industrial, legal, political, civil, architectural, anything-- and tell me how "westernized" Afghanistan was in 1929, or 1919, or 1878, or 1838? Do you even know what those dates are? I'll give you a hint: moments in history, when Afghanistan was much the same as it was when we invaded in 2001, that could have enlightened us regarding our fate if we were willing to be educated."

The mistake is the same only if the objective is mostly the same and the country is mostly the same. If not, then your "could've seen that one coming!" assertion just falls apart. In particular, to disregard the rise of Islamism and the power-grab of the Taliban that preceded the US invasion strikes as willfully ignorant.

This is what makes your argument so weak - these premises are indefensible and you don't seem eager to even try. Instead, you resort to a gatekeeping maneuver. Nice try!

An average consumer good contains tons of sugar by default nowadays. Being a fast carbohydrate, it fools the mind of a human into believing he/she is still hungry and thus needs more. This leads to inadequate glucose overshoots on daily basis.

When the time of insulin comes (approx. 2 hours after food intake), the insulin curve is sharp and overshoots over the peak in response to monstrous amounts of glucose in the blood. Despite clearly peaking, no amount of insulin can cover all previously consumed glucose at this stage, and the rest of it gets transformed into the fat.

People in cities are captured on CCTV hundreds of times per day but nobody seems to mind. I remember some fifteen years ago sitting in pub with a group of people and being the only one who cared that there was a CCTV camera right above our table (it was one of those creepy omni-directional domes).

Surveillance Camera Man showed that people have often violent reactions to being overtly filmed by individuals in public. These videos appear to be gone from Youtube now, but if you hadn't seen it he would often just film people do mundane stuff in public like drinking coffee. People always questioned what he was doing, he would tell them "I'm just making a video" and they wouldn't be pleased.

If you told someone you were going to install a keylogger on their machine they would almost certainly be against you doing that. But people voluntarily use "cloud" services like Google Docs etc. which are literally keylogging devices.

I think there is a strong tendency for people to submit to what they consider to be authority. Some random guy on the street isn't authority. But the government is. Apple, Google, Microsoft etc. are. Unfortunately it leads people to spend energy on things that don't matter, like the random guy on the street, and not the things that do matter, like systematic global surveillance.

Yep, saves to a local folder that you can sync
Looks neat!

How Obsidian handlers sync conflicts? For instance, I edit a note on iOS while offline, then I edit the same note on desktop while online, then the iOS device comes back online. Apple Notes for example is handling this amazingly well by merging changes a bit like Google Docs. But it doesn't support plain Markdown files and version history, which are two things really great about Obsidian.

And also, do you provide a full-text search, for example by indexing the files in a SQLite FTS5 backend?

I think people have to recognize that both digital technology and the process of "modernity" and state-formation of the 20th century make it a lot harder for unsurveiled spaces to exist because suddenly everyone is operating in the same "space", a single market.

There used to be a rough equilibrium that it was difficult to move large amounts of money around, especially internationally, but small amounts of cash were totally invisible to the state. This ensured a certain amount of stability; the state control could be exercised at the border, where anything of significant value had to be declared to customs, but inside the state you could go about your business. It was pretty difficult for a state to spin up a subversive organisation or competing industry inside another state's borders. Conversely, to commit a large crime required serious planning to move the money, and it was infeasible to move it overseas.

Technology is forcing the dichotomy towards either ubiquitous surveillance of absolutely every transaction, versus increasingly large "perfect" crimes carried out by people who are untouchably overseas.

I wouldn't doubt there's good research showing pair programming is a great way to learn, but anecdotally/observationally I really have trouble believing it's effective. In my experience, in at least half of pairs there will be one more skilled programmer and one less skilled programmer and the better one does the lion's share (if not all) of the work -- this is doubly true if the partnerships are randomly assigned. Even if the worse one is trying their best to stay engaged and follow along, it's just hard to do if the other person is faster than you, and you might even feel like you're being a bit of a useless nuisance by asking questions when the other person is clearly capable of working on their own. (I've been on both sides of this in different contexts, BTW.)

But I imagine my intuition must be wrong since this is such a popular teaching method -- interested to read any research/counterpoints on the subject.

This behaviour for the bloom filters is intended and not a DOS attack for some client. Imagine they did not use bloom filters, you had to analyze every transaction to see if you are interested in it. The bloom filters just allows in most cases to be absolutely you are _not_ interested in it. You only need to further analyze if the bloom filter says you may be interested in it.

2. web clipping (one note)

So that's around 7 million phones per year. Assuming around £700/phone and 30% profit (very rough made up numbers), that should be £1.5B/year profit. If the judgement is for £3B to £5B as the article states, I can see why they might decide to exit the UK market. But that only makes sense if they don't then lose the patent cases in other juristictions, and end up having to pay similar royalties anyway.
> Mystery 8: Diets Don’t Work

As an obese person who tried several times to follow medical advise, this does not surprise me, not at all!

Every diet is about calories and sport, which cannot hurt. But every diet completely misses the elephant in the room: hunger!

Any medical procedure is only worth pursuing if it gives you a higher quality of life in the long term. A constant hunger cannot compensate for any weight loss.

I think this is fundamental to human linguistics in general, not unique to written text. People communicate differently in different places, even when speaking the same language or just using non-verbal queues. The only real difference on the internet is that it's less clear which culture you're in or if you're even in a different culture.

Two examples from real life:

There was an article on here recently about why Russians don't smile. In their culture a smile signals laughter not happiness/friendliness. So when you smile at a stranger there to be friendly they think you're laughing at them.

Swearing. I come from Scotland where the words fuck and cunt are considered normal language by many (not all). If a friend told me an unlikely story I would exclaim 'fuck off' in disbelief and they would understand that I was disbelieving/amused. But If I reacted that way to most Americans I know they'd take offence thinking I was angry at them.

The way that emojis and grammar are used differently across the internet is fundamental to how human groups create their own linguistic protocols. Trying to use emojis less rather than just spreading understanding of differences is a mistake in my opinion.

The iOS limitations are a given, we don’t need to discuss them.

Joplin, as an example, allows syncing via WebDAV. Which you can easily self host.

I know that Joplin works differently. Obsidian also has integrated sync capabilities, but it’s a proprietary protocol and you can’t self host it. And I guess this is a design decision of the authors. To sell their service. They probably need some money to pay their bills.
I liked Notable before I switched to Obsidian, especially because it has native apps, but the subscription pricing was just too high in my opinion.
Let's be clear. This is a patent troll company engaged in anti-innovation rent-seeking behaviour. They're seeking billions in payouts and provide zero innovation, research, development, etc.

Just because it's targeting Apple doesn't make it right. Companies of this type should be illegal. A patent is a government-sponsored monopoly which shouldn't be "pooled" by "patent companies" whose only purpose is to use the state to extract money from companies actually producing goods.

All people holding patents need to be innovating with them, or otherwise, lose them after a short period.
