Contrarianism is a shortcut to skepticism. Believing the opposite of what you're taught is easier than actually questioning the official narrative and sometimes believing and sometimes not. Contrarianism is about saying "look how smart I am, I figured out the real truth^tm", not about actually figuring out the real truth^tm.
Yes so far. Once the mechanism is in place it will be rolled out. I'm in the UK and we have a fairly nasty set of state legislation on censorship already and an increasingly authoritarian government so this is a big worry.
You need to get just the right ratio of discussion about MMA, bowhunting, and stand up comedy.
I'm European and have not heard of something like what you are alluding to. I know certain specific categories of pesticides are either forbidden (e.g. Propargite), or limited. But given your response I still do not understand what it has to do with artificial limits of "organic" labeling of certain categories of compounds, especially since it is often NGO:s which are responsible for many of these labels and their verifications.
I've had good luck with it, but there are a few times I've had to go into the project's issues to find a solution for problems.
When you really think about it though, Smash Bros history is just filled with anti-competitive changes.

> It's accessible (no crazy button combos)

Melee is not. You need to consistently wavedash into double-shine combos while foxtrotting to remain competitive. Every landing must be L-canceled (especially during combos). Its a horribly inaccessible game, and was all we had for many years.

Following Melee was Brawl: where "tripping" was invented to randomize the game and piss off competitive players. The most popular "Brawl" was the version people __hacked__ to rebalance the game (taking advantage of the Epona glitch from Twilight Princess to install the Homebrew channel: you can remove tripping and arbitrarily rebalance the Brawl game entirely). It wasn't until Smash4 (WiiU, 2014) that players got an actually competitive game.

Smash Ultimate is finally a very, very good game. But it makes no sense to me why the Smash community stuck with it through the Melee and Brawl years.

> Cartoon violence, not realistic simulated violence. I think that's a major driver.

I think that's a good point. The Smash series (and Marvel vs Capcom series) was timid on violence and sexiness... focusing mostly at the "cartoon" level that was mainstream and acceptable.

The other fighting games leaned into violence (Mortal Kombat) and/or sexiness (Soul Calibur's Ivy, Street Fighter's Cammy, KOF Mai) to try to get some appeal, but I think that lowered the chances of the wide mainstream acceptance.

Smash was always a "Kids" game, and therefore safe for kids to play. No reasonable adult would turn off the game or otherwise be worried that their kids were playing that game. Marvel vs Capcom was at a similar level.
I don't think having a Netflix alternative for black folks is racist. I think the need for it, is just sad, the fact that black people feel the need to have their own platform, says a lot about their representation(or misrepresentation) on mainstream media and other places in society. The need for some people (... you know which...) to label us by race, country of origin, etc... is disgusting. And, to be honest, I'm used to it at this point. I'm happy for BlackOakTV, and wish them great success.
I must be coming off the wrong way.

Sure people should make those lifestyle changes where possible! I’m not against small change.

I get frustrated when I see people generalize the rest of the population as “abhorrently selfish”. Especially when their own lifestyle comes from a position of excess and privilege.

To clarify my position:

If you wanna make lifestyle changes for the environment, more power to you! I’ve got no beef with that. Just don’t use those tiny aspects of your modern life to paint the rest of the world as immoral.
I would think the odds are much higher of a smaller company either a) selling your data to everyone that they can get money from, or b) just not having the tech skills to keep secure.

Growing up in the US, I learned to exist happily within a small rational subculture embedded withing a larger culture that is simply insane. The superstitions around “race” are just one aspect of that insanity. There is also the crudest form of Christianity that has ever existed, a reification of “democracy” that is part of a national religion and conflates what is popular with what is right, the prejudice against being educated....it goes on, and I could go on, forever.
> “X for black people” sounds so bizarre to me(non-American). The cultural divide between the people must be insane.

Is more or less what I thought, (with the difference that I thought "Y for Z people").

So I can't judge if it's necessary or makes sense, but from the point of the author it seems to be the case.

Which is sad as black people are not a small minority in the US and so I would expect more representation of them.

I mean Netflix (or any thing similar) should be "for everyone" featuring a diverse mix at least similar to reality (or maybe slightly more diverse (1) ).

(1): For <small> minorities in a country representation with a mix "like reality" would mean they would not get much representation as just a <small> number of content thingies would represent them. So increasing the degree of diversity above it is I think a good idea.
The switch way numbering is based on the number of terminals.

A 2-way switch has two terminals and gives a closed (on) or open circuit.

A 3-way switch has three terminals and gives you one terminal tied to either, but not both of the other two.

A 4-way switch has four termimals and gives you two terminals which are each tied to the other two terminals and you can pick; these also give you a big headache when one switch of many fails and one circuit path is open, but many paths still work.

Even if we assume that companies are willing to support the systems they sold for an undetermined amount of time (something that will _never_ happen), this still won't solve the fact that the hardware itself enabling the "smart" features is bound to turn obsolete way before the appliance exhausts its lifetime.

For instance, I've seen chest freezers running for >30y without breaking; do you expect today's IT technology to remain viable for the next 30 years? What about new protocols that might appear that the hardware may not support, or new highly desirable features that are simply unfeasible to implement on the limited µcontrollers that power most IoT appliances?

You risk ending up in a situation like with LPT printers - when USB became dominant, lots of old printers ended up in landfills due to how unreliable LPT-USB adapters were. The printers themselves were often absolutely fine, but they had become too annoying and keeping an old machine around to use them was much more complicated than just buying a spanking new network printer.

Given the current dire environmental situation I wouldn't push for technologies that might cause perfectly functioning appliances to become obsolete due to a non-necessary secondary features.
The only way out of this is for "IoT modules" to be removable, standardized and upgradeable, but thinking anyone would do that is delusional.

TLDR they present 3 new versions that each have their own trade-offs, but are also taking into account being able to use these as DB primary keys, which is really great.

Another thing I was quite curious about (looks like you can use them in existing DB columns etc):

textual representation of a UUID consisting of 36 hexadecimal and
dash characters in the format 8-4-4-4-12 remains unchanged for human

Variant bits remain unchanged in the layout.

> but unless they're excluding white people from subscribing I have a hard time accepting it

My apologies; I must not have been clear. Nothing here is an example of something I have an issue with. I was merely pointing out that having "X for <minority>" can go two ways; promote the minority, or exclude the majority. The former is great, the later is not.

I wasn't, in any way, trying to indicate the post is doing the wrong thing. As others have noted, it sounds like a Netflix-ey version of BET which, as far as I know, hasbeen nothing but positive.

Sentencing for drug possession has secondary effects - it pushes large number of people into other kinds of crime. Thus, you cannot count only the direct 20%.

Regarding other countries - what would happen (and happened) to countries that refused to join War on Drugs?

Regarding possession - in UK essentially nobody cares, unless you’re distributing industrial quantities and/or are really obnoxious about it, eg walk into Constabulary smoking a joint, or by putting up advertisements. There are regular news about eg police finding a suspect car parked for six hours with engine on, filled with smoke (actual example I remembered because it’s funny) and they don’t result in charges. I suppose the law could be used if you also committed other offenses.

As for not being able to talk politics in China: where all the policy and law changes come from then? And if you can freely talk in the US, why so many people have many throwaway accounts here on HN?

Anyway: yes, China is oppressive in a number of ways. It’s about one generation behind the US, except for racism, where it’s ahead. US itself is perhaps a generation behind Western Europe. But everyone knows what’s bad about China, and everyone knows what’s good in the US. Anti-Chinese propaganda is everywhere, and I find it quite annoying. Particularly so because it detracts attention from real problems - if American propaganda is lying about genocides and missile silos, why assume other parts are true? Secondary: all the bad stuff in China stays in China. They don’t routinely exterminate hundreds of thousands people in other countries for financial or racial reasons. They don’t intentionally ruin other nations’ economy. The US does. And I feel like this perspective is entirely lost among western population.
its not too hard to find people explaining that they do, and why they do (just google "representation matters" and im sure you'll find a lot). sounds like youre not open to learning about other peoples experience, or you simply dismiss it as whiny

"And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand."
I've actually found that knowledge diffusion between different languages and different types of developers can be significant - e.g., game developers work much differently than distributed systems engineers.

Not always, but sometimes, an interesting knowledge arbitrage opportunity when fields start to collide.
The experts collect blood samples and sequence the genome of the virus. The genome uniquely identifies a given variant of the virus.
Hmm, 'developer' has a cheerful kind of vagueness about it - it comes close to describing the iterative process of starting to write something one way, then realizing your original approach wasn't quite right and rewriting it. At least, I don't think mechanical engineers do that too often...
The BLS does actually track the size of goods as well as the price.
The name is largely irrelevant, though WET may be more memorable when attached to DRY. The important element is the deliberate introduction or allowance of repetition with the intent (and ideally actually doing) of examining and refactoring later. Later is often not even that much later, IME. Usually the next step I take after putting in the repetition because I can see the common structure properly while it's all fresh in my head, but I couldn't see it when I initially started writing it (or saw the wrong part as the common structure, which bit me enough that I committed to the rule of three idea).
> “X for black people” sounds so bizarre to me(non-American).

“Black” in America is, confusingly to lots of people, the name of an ethnic/cultural group formed by centuries shared experience of kidnapping, deliberate eradication of prior cultural identities, deliberate ongoing disruption of the family unit, slavery (and after slavery de jure discrimination, and after that substantial ongoing public and private discrimination in fact) to which the racial group also labelled “black” was subjected in America.

Unfortunately, it isn't confined to Twitter. Now a family friend is giving her kid crap over wanting dreads.
Here are the most popular reasons. Please do not attack me personally; I'm only trying to summarize the viewpoint for someone who asked:

1. The Van Allen belts are filled with lethal, impenetrable radiation. An attempt to "clear them out" using a bomb (called Starfish Prime) only made it worse. In 2021, there's still no fix for this nor a launch module that can carry the shielding that would protect people.

2. The computer technology required to plan and command a space module simply didn't exist at the time. Too much math is required too fast for realtime control, especially given the delays caused by the distance.

3. Werner von Braun, the primary proponent of the moon launch, did not believe that the moon could be reached directly because the necessary rocket would be too heavy to take off. There's no fuel that could do it and get there. From the beginning, he proposed a "build a base nearby" approach, not a direct moon landing. When that was rejected, he quit the program.

4. Video and photo evidence is highly suspect and contains many anomalies which, with contemporary computer-aided evaluation, can be shown to contain lighting and reflections which could not originate on the surface of the moon unless ancillary lighting was carried there, which NASA says it was not.

5. NASA has been historically obtuse on contemporary answers to many of these questions. If the landing took place, the answers should be public and obvious.

6. In 2021, there is no battery or air conditioning technology which would work for the times and temperatures required on the moon. Since it doesn't exist today, it probably didn't exist then.

7. Any developed technology gets easier and cheaper. Moon landings have not only not gotten cheaper, they've never been "repeated." No other country has made an attempt to send humans. Being as old as it is, space tech should be mature, cheap, and easy and it's not.

8. It's enormously difficult to send people even into Low Earth Orbit, as evidenced by the problems with contemporary private attempts and even with the ISS. There is no evidence other than the moon landing to show that people could leave earth's orbit and return to land safely.

The most widespread contemporary viewpoint among moon deniers is that the project was originally intended to succeed but, when that was proven to be impossible (first by the Soviets), a PR plan based on movies and photos was delivered instead. It's not unreasonable given the era and general beliefs at the time. A moon PR program delivered many national benefits and changed the way we view tech, both of which are good things.

Many moon deniers hope that some of these issues will come to light specifically so that real space exploration can move forward and free man from a sci-fi fantasy of the 50's.[0]

It's pretty amusing that they assembled it with a boring old construction crane. No fancy VAB or custom scaffolding. No different than the latest cookie cutter "luxury apartment building".
It's an interesting time to be doing something like this, because Youtube and TikTok have created a permission structure for idiosyncratically "indie" content to break through to mass audiences. When Youtube launched (I am old) I thought it was pretty silly, like "America's Funniest Home Videos" but without Bob Saget. But if you told me today that far more content is consumed on Youtube than on all the cable networks combined, I'd believe you.

The extent to which these things appear to people outside their audience as "low budget" might not matter, and if it doesn't, that seems like a big new thing, an idea you can play around with.
If someone says "Well, I think it could have been faked." then I bet many here would automatically label that person as a conspiracy nut.

Life's a lot better when you don't know everything because it leaves room for new information. I certainly don't know everything, but I often get cast aside as a nutter for not immediately agreeing with common assumptions.

Imagine showing a deep fake to someone from just 20 years ago? They'd believe it. It's not hard to imagine that some secretive area of military science is 20-50 years ahead of what civilians know about.
As far as your "push toggle" concept, you could buy a Z-wave smart switch plus add-on switches and have this today. There's no requirement to actually connect to a Z-wave network, although smart switches are much more expensive than standard switches.
Yes, “why bother?” works for most. Those of us who do, or don’t, want “smart home” don’t need to justify it.

For those who do . . .

Should be simple installation matching existing patterns. Switch & outlet covers shouldn’t need to change, as there’s just enough failure to fit to make updates unworkable (haven’t seen any smart switches fit a 2-3 switch cover plate). Blend traditional operation with smart (smart wireless switch next to normal wired switch annoyingly interfere). Don’t compel grouping of lights (wife’s light must not be coupled with mine in automatons). Ensure sensible symbiosis (“on at sunset, off at 9pm” shouldn’t leave light on when sunset is 9:02pm). Stay on the right network (I have two).

The problems are petty and easily fixed - yet nobody wants to solve them.
I'm not necessarily claiming to have better ideas! I think it's really hard, and the internet has made it very hard to second guess the context in which your messages will be received.

* It's usually best to go with something more tailored and thoughtful, and avoid politically charged clichés if you can. For me, this is the real reason "greedy Frenchmen" seems innocuous and the other examples seem problematic.

* A low-effort hack that sometimes softens things a bit is prefixing with "some" and / or suffixing with "people" ("some Christian fundamentalist people...").

* You don't have to live in constant fear of offending people, maybe sometimes you can just say what you want to say and hope your audience doesn't take it the wrong way. I don't want to overstate my concern for Christian sensitivities. Your chances of avoiding offence are obviously dependent on the context and your audience.

Again, I'm not necessarily saying I'm good at this! I think I'm better than I used to be, which is an extremely low bar.
I'm more annoyed that this is yet another bunch of Americans showing their ignorance of the world by claiming Black to just represent African-Americans. So many different non American black people in the world but of course American imperialism shines right through regardless of color or culture to claim the word black and limit it just to Americans. That's not even to mention the divisiveness at all costs so at to get a buck.

Any black American has less in common with any black person in Africa or Europe than they have with a white American.

Honestly so sick of US issues always being portrayed as a simplistic black/white issue.
