I'd file this article under, "You're enjoying this wrong!" It's just saying that we should stop enjoying a particular representation of butterflies that is less generally lifelike than what the author would prefer. There's nothing wrong with saying that sort of thing, but it's not a particularly interesting assertion, and it's not a very important problem.

(And if you liked the article, you're probably enjoying articles wrong.)
It's rarely questioned in our society that satiety comes down to food volume (or weight). It's what we mean by "high calorie" food: high kcal per gram.

I agree with you, but a mind-bending consequence is that there's no such thing as high calorie food.
I recently started watching road cycling with this years Tour de France and now the Olympics and it's pretty interesting. A lot of tactical depth and it's a perfect WFH background noise- it plays out over hours so you don't have to be watching every minute

Both mens and womens road race in the Olympics were excellent too, a lot of drama and interesting mind games
Because otherwise the Olympics for road cycling and actual high-level road cycling races become totally different things.

The entire game of road cycling races is based on judging these gaps. Without it, you would probably never let anyone ride off. Then races become attrition, followed by sprint.

Either that or you get a weird spotting system where people try to get gap timings to the riders through unofficial channels. Probably from the broadcast, but if delayed too much, from physical spotters with stopwatches.

IMO trying to stop user enumeration is a lost cause. People with many email addresses and no password manager still need a way to figure out which email/username they used on your site. If they can't enumerate themselves, you end up with bad retention or lots of support tickets.
I can sympathise with the men in this story. I have sat in on meetings where HR was telling Engineering that tech skills and experience did not matter; only the sex and race of the hired candidate.

How did HR get so much power? Most of them are barely out of University and at least at my org are a homogenous group of white women.

I don't think anyone takes issue with the fact that the mistake was made or that it was really hard to track down. Shit happens.

How you handle it is everything. No communication on it and issuing no warning to their users for a critical bug that risked user privacy in a substantial way for 7 months is unacceptable for an app that calls itself secure, full stop.

The data is quite interesting, but the hypothesis (imo) is far from the only plausible explanation. I'm not saying this to disparage the work, just to frame.

"Individuals with depression are prone to maladaptive patterns of thinking, known as cognitive distortions, whereby they think about themselves, the world, and the future in overly negative and inaccurate ways. These distortions are associated with marked changes in an individual’s mood, behavior, and language. We hypothesize that societies can undergo similar changes in their collective psychology that are reflected in historical records of language use. Here, we investigate the prevalence of textual markers of cognitive distortions in over 14 million books..."

Interesting result:

So... the finding is that language patterns typically associated with depression have rapidly become common in book language. Interesting. The interpretation is up for debate, I suppose. Maybe its just writers are more depressed.

Financial events are labeled, but they don't seem to have impacted the data much. Internet usage, OTOH, seems (at a glance) highly correlated to whatever they're measuring. Maybe online culture moved language in this direction with no real relationship to depression. Maybe the internet made people more depressed. Maybe the internet made writers more depressed. Maybe some complicated knot of those. IE, the internet popularized maladaptive language, which has made us all more depressed.

In any case, assuming the methodology is reasonable, it does look like they've found something here. Worth a discussion.
Calling that a deliberate lie is not accurate, in my opinion. Do you think it is a lie to speak as if dolls and stuffed animals have feelings? (for that matter, do you think it is a lie to speak as if characters in a fictional movie have thoughts and feelings?)

Pretend play is important. My seven year old understands the distinction between humans, bugs, and toys. But she still pretends, and uses the latter as "empathy practice." This is normal, healthy child development.

There is a time and a place for reminding children that bugs probably don't have feelings per se, and that dolls and stuffies especially don't. If you remind them constantly, and never let them go into "pretend mode" without spoiling it with such reminders, let's just say I recommend you avoid situations that put you in much contact with kids.
Denying reality is what allows it to continue, but the root of the problem is the structure of power in the world. The goal of libertarian communism is to decentralize power as much as is feasible and give people a say in their own lives.

So getting people to face reality is a key part of making the necessary changes. This is why all revolutionary ideologies include education as one of the first steps. So yes, if you cannot educate then you cannot make changes which require voluntary collective agreement. But I don't think it's impossible to educate. The real problem is that counter-revolutionary forces have a lot of money and power to "educate" in their own way, and manipulate us in to accepting unjust systems.

In its simplest form, anarchism is a process of questioning existing power structures. And some are legitimate and can be justified. But those that have no legitimate purpose must be dismantled. Libertarian communism is a method of organization that aims to build a foundation for an economy without massive power imbalances.

Really, I'd encourage you to look at the playlist I linked in my above comment, and let me know what you think.

In the Washington Post an American virologist finally published a detailed analysis of the "spike protein research" theory:

Some people have wondered whether these types of experiments could have produced SARS-CoV-2. The answer is, in this case, not really. In theory, if you had the right viruses in your catalogue, sure. But there are no indications that anyone had ever seen this virus nor any viruses similar enough to serve as its genetic building blocks before SARS-CoV-2 emerged in the population. The Wuhan institute’s most recent chimeric virus used a very different coronavirus as its genetic backbone. Looking at the body of research produced there, it’s clear that scientists were laser-focused on the bat viruses related to SARS-CoV, which spurred research on coronaviruses worldwide after it emerged in 2003 because of its pandemic potential. There’s just no trace of SARS-CoV-2 in the lab, and if the SARS-CoV-2 progenitor or its building blocks weren’t in the lab before the pandemic, the pandemic could not have started there — even accidentally.

I'm not sure thats true, the D side of California is going pretty hard towards the "far left" aka "progressive" side of things. Its impossible to get elected in the major cities without being a progressive or DSA member.

I'm pretty sure that Farming isn't on the DSA radar.
I haven't noticed a major increase in used motorcycles, but your mileage may vary based on region. I'm in Socal. I don't think motorcycles are as complicated or chip based to manufacture and motorcycles are mostly a luxury item in the US. You'll be fine!
Both used and new motorcycle markets are incredibly tight, at least in California where I have been looking. I went to the Honda/Yamaha dealer in Berkeley and quite seriously there were no bikes on the floor. Literally none. It looks from their website that they have a handful now, but none of the stuff they would normally try to have in inventory, like the Honda NC750, XR650L, CRF300L or other dual sports, so sports or supersports bikes, no Gold Wings.
This. Risk assess whether user enumeration is actually bad, the go fix it if you need to.

What about land? My house is relatively inexpensive, the land it's on is worth like 10x as much.
Nah, easier to get them to Signal when a large portion of their peers is already there. Plus Signal's more secure than Delta-Chat that's not even forward secret, that isn't audited, and that's using 30 year old PGP.

This doesn’t seem like something that could be fixed by using a rule based approach, because it would require actually understanding the subject matter.
Why would society need to even be a predator though? The whole point of society is that we organized into large enough groups that what the "natural order" was no longer applies: societies literally rise above the natural order by replacing that order with something we as society control.

That means things like corporations, and working hard for your money, but also means things like "meaningless art", and allowing people with permanent disabilities to still live a normal life, where the fruits of society get to be enjoyed by everyone in society, skewed towards different demographics based on your favourite -ism. And it doesn't matter which -ism you subscribe to: the whole point of society is that we don't need this ridiculous "natural" nonsense. We beat it. It can stay outside. We replaced it with society.
I don't get this either, even with 50 you would have a someone with corporate law experience and 400 ?! What am I missing, is one of the top management people at the same time lawyer, or they are on case paid bases?

Apparently there's also new information now that strengthens support for the theory that it came from the market. From the New York Times:

Last month a team of researchers presented an inventory of 47,381 animals from 38 species sold in Wuhan markets between May 2017 and November 2019. It included species like civets and raccoon dogs that can act as intermediate hosts for coronaviruses. Dr. Worobey called that study “a game-changing paper.”

He also pointed to the timing of the earliest cases of Covid in Wuhan. “The Huanan market is right at the epicenter of the outbreak, with later cases then radiating outward in space from there,” Dr. Worobey said in an email. “No early cases cluster anywhere near the W.I.V., which has been the focus of most speculation about a possible lab escape,” he said.

I would posit increased population, shift to cities, fewer close friends, less family relationships, less community, declining interdependency, lower standards of living, and less hope for the future all contribute to depression and so cognitive distortions.
Really interesting discussion here; it's heartening to feel the underlying desire by commentators to find effective moral principles. It strikes me that what we have now has evolved into an economic/money system that is complex, dynamic and probably the "least worst" we can achieve. We do live together in a miracle. I'm happy we still have space for monastic energies to survive.

I do fear the coming resource scarcity and slowing tech adaption rate.

For fucks sake one is breaking the law. Corporations are following the law. There is no requirement that corporations pay 20%, that is crap you made up.

The law is quite clear on fraud.

In the analogy the law is the requirements, enforcement is the implementation. You don’t like the requirements, sure. The implementation is still broken because it doesn’t address the fraud. It can’t do anything about the requirements because those are outside the scope of things that can be changed by the implementor.

The analogy is absolutely shit because it presumes the same actor writing the code can change the requirements, which is not true in software engineering nor in the US government.
Homogenous groups of white cishet women at HR departments are also a travesty IMO. I highly doubt there isn't something going on internally that make it unfriendly to diverse perspectives (whether from a person of color, an lgbtqia+ person, or a man) that is an HR nightmare waiting to happen.

Abundance of existing tooling is part of quality, yes. Practical absence of non-free choices is also a sign that free software does things right in this domain.

I do comprehend, that is why I will not get vaccinated, until they actually approve a vaccine without being for emergency use.

Or for example approve Novavax which is not as experimental as mRNA vaccines

It would seem that misinformation such as this would be much more in the wheelhouse of companies such as Google as they consider censoring content and twiddling search results. They don't employ virologists, or other experts, but they regularly label information that they have little inside technical expertise on as misinformation.

With so much obvious misinformation on stack exchange, why is Google so blase about directing searchers to the site?

> I don't see how taking from everyone and giving very little in return is moral.

Taking? It seemed pretty clear that he doesn't ask anyone for anything. People give him things of their own free will.

Give more money than you receive? There are other things that can be given, like time, companionship, love, etc.

The guy from the article is striving to make the world better for those who can't afford a home in Canada (Vancouver being ridiculously expensive, a separate conversation), and prompting an interesting conversation about how focused we are on money. I think those are valuable contributions to society.

Or should society force everyone onto the same page, and moralize against those who can't or don't want to keep up?

(These are questions that I think of, just throwing them out there...)
The manufacturing byproducts of vegetables are known to be hazardous (pesticide residue).

I'll wager those PFOA are worse, but it's worth saying that if you're gonna manufacture PTFE for human consumption you could possibly clean up the process and get something perfectly clean, even cleaner than vegetables.
That is kinda what I mean by republicans are more open to blue dog positions from the 90's... More Social Safety net, more money printing, more debt, and even more taxation.

This would have been unheard of in the 90's for a Republican, now today the difference is "Do we Print and spend 3 Trillion or 6 Trillion this year?"

Sadly for me I think the full effects of these terrible economic polices are going to hit about the time I ready to retire. 10 Years go I did not think retirement would be an option.. 2 years go I saw some hope... Today I am back to believing I will work until I am dead as there is no way these economic policies we see today will work out well for anyone.
I’m not ignoring this.

You are making the moral assumption that just because someone has a better negotiating position in a situation there is a moral obligation to intervene in some centralized way to “correct the imbalance.”

I am denying your assumption and presenting a different point of view which has no less of a claim to morality or truth than yours.
Github is used for all kinds of things. Most of mine is forks that I used to try and issue a PR to some other repo, or gists that I use for personal reference. Likewise, I have a website that I barely use, but it's there. Neither are indicative of professional capability or are labeled "portfolio", they're indicative of some of the stuff I do in my spare time. Employers ask for a Github link almost 100% of the time, this is a problem created by the filtering process itself and the proselytizing of having a "passion" for software.

Being prejudiced towards that is as stupid as anything.

Now if someone labels themselves as "an open source contributor" or something along those lines, sure whatever be as critical as you want. I'd probably expect to see at least frequent commits to a repo that people use.
I'd assume it prevents legally scraping & copying the whole site, at the cost of a silly amount of human labor writing the fluff.

I do not understand what you are talking about. This started as a proposition that “normal users do not use Linux”. They obviously do. You are sore that corporations use BSD licensed code without letting us see or modify their forks. So am I. What does that have to do with the topic?
> Another is the “Hollywood silencer.” Guns fired with a suppressor/silencer are still quite loud, but movies have people thinking you can have a shootout in a mall and no one will notice.
