Yes resist! Do you want wear a mask for the rest of your life? Do you want annual mandatory injections of pathogens into your body? Do you want to check-in/check-out with your QR code ID wherever you go, that comes with an expiration date, enables mass surveillance, and can be disabled at a whim? A dictated narrative, censorship of opposition, rationality forbidden? Or do you think you are fine with this and want to live in permanent cognitive dissonance?
Seems like you people get really authoritarian when you get bored! Better find another job or something before the next Lenin sprouts.
You're trusting the client whether or not it can talk on the network. A malicious update that starts generating predictable passwords for websites doesn't need a network connection.

From Signal in July 2020:

> As far as longer durations are concerned, it's tricky, because backups do not include disappearing messages. That can cause unexpected behavior for a user that set their timer to 18 months.

> Neither. You should consider other people for a change.

And your hypocritical argument is on the selfish belief that you believe society owes you something (supporting your healthcare) when you make a mistake.

That is your argument not mine. I believe liberty means you can choose not to wear a seatbelt, and society can choose not to support your mistake. Personally I do not wear a seatbelt while riding a motorcycle, and if I am permanently disfigured or mentally damaged I hope that If I'm unable to on my own that my wife would help me put a swift and terminal end to my misery, but I don't believe I am owed that luxury by her or anyone else. Rather any support should be voluntary (through trade or voluntary charity).

Your argument is rooted in a belief that people are owed something (either public healthcare, or at a bare minimum mandatory admission by hospital even if they cannot pay.) Because of that belief you seek to modify the behavior of others because of your selfish desire to minimize the cost of supporting them in the event of accident. The simple solution is to simply remove the support of society to remove that cost. You cannot possibly legislate the risk out of life.
I am going to use this for my humble brag training next week.
If YouTube users were moderating YouTube and the reason that a video was flagged was because a non-paid member of the community initiated the action, would that still make YouTube in the wrong? Would the "mod" be to blame?

What if it was a up/down-voting system, and the community just down-voted a video to the point where it was "dead" for normal people? Would YouTube be in the wrong?

It seems strange that there is no expectation of these companies to moderate content that they are hosting, if they perceive it as being bad for their user base.

When I was much younger, I used to get upset when I was banned or squelched from IRC channels for saying things, and I would berate the moderators for being overzealous. In reality, I was just saying things that were perceived as not being conducive to the discussion in these channels, and I was not aware enough to understand that what I was saying was not welcome in that setting.
That paper isn't about the effectiveness of condoms; it's about "Interventions to increase effective condom use...condom design, access to condoms, condom use behaviours and condom-related legislation."

In other words, it's a study about the effectiveness of policies, not the condoms themselves.
The term dog whistle is regularly used as a covert form of Ad Hominem that I find logically annoying, basically "ignore everything this person said because" insert assumption of what was meant and derogatory term about political affiliation. We see this lots in our media and it seems they are trying to do our thinking for us, rather than letting us draw our own conclusions.

Face to Face, and in the past, we were much more civil to one another.
Honestly, I bet Netflix would love to do something like this. But they can't, because they'd likely get sued and/or lose rights to distribute content due to breaking contract pledges. This is basically the same reason that the BBC can't offer Brits who are out of the UK access to iPlayer; they just don't have the rights to distribute that content anywhere other than the UK. I hate it.
Where did your conclusion of "masks definitely don't work for SARS-2" come from? Just in your quote it stated that the control that cloth mask use was compared to was a population with a high proportion of mask wearing. The study does not compare cloth mask usage to no mask usage, and only says that it is possible that cloth masks are harmful.

Also if you would like some more up to date information, as well as a larger number of studied, which are specific to COVID, the CDC website has a lot of information here:

Twitter is really, really stupid (Facebook too, of course). They have taken on the role of being the internet's savior. The best move would have been to ban people for one thing and one thing only: breaking the law.

But they are now arbiters of acceptable speech, and with that comes the unending push from every single interest group and their uncle to police things their way. Oops.

I can't wait until things like Holochain or other P2P systems make our current centralized communications platforms obsolete.
> The question is: do you need money to live a happy life?

IMO you need a certain baseline amount. There are some necessities that you need to be able to afford (hard to be happy when you're starving). In the USA, I'd say you also need to have a cushion in case of some unforeseen medical emergency, in other places that may not be as necessary.
If would also mean you can never hold cash or you’re losing money.
honestly if they enjoy it that's their call and they make the choice to live in a place that is not affordable. If they struggle due to that decision that is on them. If they could move somewhere else and live in a much more comfortable financial position the long term outcome is their choice. I am not denigrating their decision just saying that it is their decision.

"we should ensure that people can affordably live where it makes sense for them" It makes sense for people to live in an area they can afford, not where they decide they should be able to afford. Its simple economics, supply and demand.

"Many people enjoy the multiculturalism found in cities, and many immigrants or minorities feel out of place in small towns while major cities offer them the opportunity to connect with people like themselves". Not to be rude, but so what? I want to live in Napa Valley but I cant afford it, is it society's job to get me an affordable house there?

I wouldn't say that in the past they have been as polarized. In fact you can actually measure this by looking at node connections.[0] But we need to hold politicians accountable. That's the mechanism to keep them in check but we're also failing at that.

A subreddit that questions whether using 1984 as a playbook to quash a disease with a 99.97% survival rate is the right trade-off.
Well, that's how I'm thinking about it and that's how I'm acting. I'd rather die from a severe breakthrough case than go through another last year.
> Apple can say "you must respect the users privacy

Yeah, it would certainly be a shame if a user installed an app that scans their phone for illegal content to report to the authorities.
The obvious problem here is that we don't value things rationally or properly, and bubbles happen. If we're in a Tulip Crypto Bubble, then the 'market winner' isn't really a 'winner' in the grand scheme. Especially if we 'die of climate change', it'll look like the plebes were acting on bad information, in hindsight. (I'm being hyperbolic here but you get my point).

It actually is not that hard to stand outside of a market and make interventions which are super rational.

We ban and regulate all sorts of things.

There is actually no reason for a lot of energy to be used in the distribution of new crypto, there are a number of other ways, it's a completely arbitrary mechanism that happens to have real-world side effects.

I don't think they should ban crypto, but they should definitely ban crypto that arbitrarily uses quite a lot of energy.
The largest group of shareholders in any company out there are retirement and pension funds.

I'm interested in why people are downvoting. Is the conclusion wrong? I'm unable to view the subreddit and the barrage of downvotes on seemingly correct comments does nothing to explain what it actually is.
> The current direction of travel being voluntary means you've just got a bad nose for building security.

What's your experience building security systems? Do you have a LinkedIn profile or a CV we could review?
Lol good on you for not just dropping the N, but there's actually a person who coined this, and he coined 'FANG' to describe a set of stocks that at the time were appreciating very quickly. Netflix was both the smallest and the first to slow of that group, so that's why they now seem out of place.
We have a freemium business model. Premium users have access to all features and no ads. We drive revenue from free users through advertisements.
Does anybody remember ANSI art demos? Some of those were really amazing and ran for minutes.
Partially I'm serious, but I'm also channeling the politics of Rand Paul - a libertarian who doesn't believe in "rights based on your behavior" - which to him I suppose means the "behavior" of being gay or trans, rather than the behavior of saying idiotic things about covid.
This is kind of ridiculous. Photoshop doesn't benefit from being a subscription the way that 1Password does so it's only a problem if you decide to actually buy those for what they're asking for. Something like 1Password does truly change all the time to keep up with security practices, browser updates, and site updates so it fits with what you're describing.

Many years ago I used to work on the Cappuccino project which was an open source implementation of the Mac Cocoa frameworks in Javascript (technically Objective-J, but that's not important).

In fact I was one of the main people responsible for implementing the TableView component. We modeled the rendering on the iOS version, which was aggressively optimized to be incredibly performant when rendering large data sets.

There are a handful of strategies we used including view reuse (only rows/columns not clipped by the scroll view around it would be rendered. Cells themselves were reused (when possible) when the user scrolled, which saves a lot of time allocating and garbage collecting memory (and in our case DOM nodes).

But beyond that we were very careful about documenting the algorithmic performance of the whole component. Most operations can be done in constant time, some were O(n) but n in our case was the number of items currently being shown, not the whole table which wasn't even in view.

If you're building a UI framework with the expectation that it scale for your users, it's not that hard to write it in such a way that it handles thousands of records. It just requires that the implementor make performance a consideration from the beginning.
Sometimes, I feel that India should just annex Myanmar / Burma. The military dictatorship and the buddhist religious fundamentalism there is a disaster waiting to happen.
Disney+ had inexplicably blocked my IP address for "being a VPN" for close to year, despite me never running a VPN from my home network. Though the block didn't stop me from watching their content, it just stopped me from paying for, which I was more than willing to do and spent far to long dealing with their support to try to make it happen.

If the same thing happens with Netflix, it also won't keep me from watching Netflix content, I'll just stop paying for it. Other than the aforementioned Disney+ content, I rarely pirate anything these days and I'd rather not if I can help it.
I'd like to direct you guys to a website that will give you some advice regarding more secure platforms.

You can choose from a large selection of websites for matching with men that are looking for a partner.
I disagree. for example, a journalist could simply ask the CDC about page 20, in this leaked presentation here:. https://www.washingtonpost.com/context/cdc-breakthrough-infe...

where it uses metrics of ~20% effective in protecting masks wearers from catching the disease in a model.

instead, we have the media saying that rand is wrong, and CNN chasing doctors that dare say that masks don't prevent all spread.

the media has long decided that some facts are best not shared, but now they are complicit with a censorship regime where we all know that masks don't work 100%, but we also know that we will get punished for saying it out loud.

things that were called misinformation from CNN:

- masks don't always work
- vaccines sometimes have side effects
- you will most likely survive covid
- vitamin c and d will help you fight covid.
Well—that’s it for me, I guess. Used them for years, but I’ll switch to the standard Apple password manager.

Sorry to hear that mate.

It's been fine for me. I'm not that overly sensitive to millisecond delays in rendering or response times, so it works out fine.

Uh, no, don't do that.

Anyone who has survived a round of layoffs is very familiar with survivor's guilt, which manifests as an intense form of impostor syndrome. "Why was it X instead of me? How did I manage to trick my way into staying when X (and Y and Z) went?"

It doesn't have much to do with your honest self-evaluation. It's kind of unavoidable. Whether or not it's accurate doesn't really matter.
AppleTV+? Microsoft Stream?
I don’t personally know anyone who uses what’s app.

It’s either Facebook messenger or discord for everyone I know.

Maybe this is naive, but doesn't Netflix already have enough information from the account already? Credit card info, name, address… what does having an IP address get them in addition to all that?
[0] is a lengthy support forum discussion discussing many points on whether WLAN sync is a worthwhile feature, even though it’s a thread specific to Windows.

[1] shows the level of support you’ll receive for the feature. They will not actively investigate issues or release fixes, AFAICT. I’ve had my own issues with it.

If you link through to the troubleshooting doc [2] from that page, you’ll see this message:

> We’re unable to troubleshoot issues with the WLAN server beyond the scope of this article. If you’ve tried everything in the article and are still unable to connect, a 1Password membership is a more reliable sync method.

I, too, took the 1PW membership route years ago for exactly this reason.

They did. They offered standalone licenses and subscriptions for an entire version's lifecycle and 97% (or something crazy high like that) of the people who downloaded went for the subscription. I've been a standalone user since v3 and finally upgraded after realizing that buying a license for Windows, Mac, and Linux would cost me more over 3 years than just paying the subscription.
Ok so you say that characterizing the results as incoonclusive results is dishonest, but in the article the limitations sections literally lists "Inconclusive results" as their first item.

On top of that they state:
"Although the difference observed was not statistically significant, the 95% CIs are compatible with a 46% reduction to a 23% increase in infection."

Which sounds like their saying they can say with 95% confidence that there is between a 46% reduction and a 21% increases, which sounds pretty damn inconclusive to me.
Saying cloth masks are effective in the context of (K)N95 masks is even worse misinformation. Even the CDC's website on masks points out you should really be using (K)N95's, and that cloth masks are completely ineffective when wet, which they get after 15 minutes or so of breathing through them.

Edit: map is just Sydney.

Australia is currently attempting to contain the spread of the Delta strain.

Anecdotally, based on what friends are saying about their neighbourhoods, the major hotspots have lower mask wearing compliance, and possibly compliance on visiting households.

I live in an area with almost no cases. Mask wearing is very common especially indoors. But people are still going to shopping centres. So congregation of people is not a differentiating factor in my opinion. Shops are quite busy during the day and social distancing is less than ideal. Especially with WFH, and cafes and restaurants still open for take away. People hang out outside shops.

I believe testing in my area is also high. When there was a few cases near me, I went to 2-3 testing locations to find the shortest queues. All were packed. People not wearing masks are so far outside, social distancing, in a park exercising with social distancing. There is a lot of different masks. Surgical, cloth, some of those fancier reusable ones.

So maybe masks work well enough to make a difference.

Another type of imposter is due to the Dunning–Kruger effect. The one who thinks they are an expert, but are not yet. Like an overconfident driver who has just passed their test.
I would suggest that should congress decide to pass a law requiring youtube to carry Rand Paul's videos, the Supreme Court would toss it out as an infringement of youtube's first amendment right to free speech. As they should. If the government can require private media to carry government messages, the first amendment is toast.
It's a myth that only markets can determine what is 'waste'.

We make non-market determinations all day long because we're also rational and can apply reason in systems.

Using tons of energy to distribute crypto is a 'waste' that just might not seem like it because of how a small group of individuals want to spend their money.

What would we think of a bunch of billionaires, getting together, and burning giant amounts of oil in their backyards, 24/7, for no other reason than 'they want to'?

Well, the market would deem that 'efficient' because the Billionaires value the Oil just to burn it for no reason. It's their perogativem, technically.

But we would view it as wasteful, because it is.

So use another mechanism to distribute crypto and that's that.
Awesome work on the app and the site for it! What did you use for the WYSIWYG editor?

The article points out that the person who first spotted the smoke also saw the man walking back from the location of the starting of the fire, about 10 minutes after it started.

Now that they have a warrant and can track his movements, he is coincident with several other fire origins.
What I don't understand is why these VPN users even bother to try and watch Netflix, just go to rarbg or 1337x and download whatever you want, far more convenient. You get to use a media player such as mpv as well, rather than the web garbage these paid streaming services have you use, +- 1 minute seeks are instant too.

Highly debatable. While Amazon is more likely to be on the shit-list of Joe Public, in technical circles it comes down to AWS vs MS. Frankly if MS hadn't bought GitHub to distract magpie developers, there would be no contest.
The phrase “new normal” refers to living with restrictions to prevent Coronavirus spread, such as wearing face masks.
It's frowned upon but the term "Long March Through the Institutions" may be applicable here.
Therein lies the problem though. There seems to be a growing number of people who use sinisterness as a heuristic for the truth. Instead of Occam's Razor, where the simplest explanation is the most likely explanation, it is the most damning answer that is most likely correct.
I would argue that there is no such thing as "the business model". There may be a projected rolled up summary state... but that's only one possible view out of infinitely many. For example, one possible "business model" could be "customers who have changed their emails in the past month". You shouldn't favor any particular view as being the favored "business model"... unless you're doing snapshots, in which case everything goes out the window.

Basically, I vote for `SetCustomerEmail`.
I got up to 5th degree black belt, had my own school. Total imposter syndrome, all. the. time. One out of a million people that start learning martial arts will reach that level.

Your average person would come in off the street and are white belts. I could literally f-ck them up with the smallest flick of my hand. I've been through thousands and thousands of rounds of sparring, bag punching, etc.

But lots of imposter syndrome. I just thought I sucked no matter how much time I put into it.
