The irony is that if it weren't for quacks and anti-vax idiots we would not have to exercise such hesitancy.

Sort of like how we could talk about genetics and IQ if it were not for racists. I could list a dozen more like this.

We now have to whisper about certain topics for fear of providing anything that can be quoted out of context and twisted by bad faith actors to promote destructive nonsense.

I personally think the best option might be to slather these topics with such thick academic and technical jargon that papers and messages about them contain nothing that can be quoted in a meme and shared on Facebook.

Edit: another comment mentioned it’s all legal and the title is bad. But I made it half through the very long article and it mentions illegals instances and only rare legal instance so far although I was skimming. I am still mad.

> I can't invite my teetotaling and vegetarian friends out to many of the casual things I enjoy

I'm curious about this. Why not? I'm not vegetarian, but I go out for dinner with vegetarian friends all the time. They order a vegetarian dish, I order a meat one. It isn't an issue.

Similarly with drinking. As long as they want to be there, why would I care if they drink? If they're judging you for drinking, that's a tangential issue.

You say "Dining out isn't about the food" - so then why do you care what food your companion eats? As long as they're happy, what difference does it make?
Immunity is complex. If it were simple, a single flu/cold would make you immune to all.
So here's a conundrum. People like free discourse, but they also like quality content. Having a quality content safe haven usually involves some tyrannical or mob rule filtering mechanism in the form of weird idiosyncratic rules and policing + banning of offbeat posters. This same filtering mechanism is anti-free discourse. Is there a successful implementation that maximizes free discourse and quality content simultaneously(IE preventing spam, shallow comments, & offtopic stuff which inundate a forum turning it into a maze to find the good stuff) without the bad modding?

Many forums once they reach critical mass even if they aren't heavy handed with policing still have an unsavory softhanded stiff-arming mechanism that's rife with bad [mod/mob] judgement, IE push everything not condoned by the mods or mobs into the place where few read. I'm sorry what I'm trying to describe is hard to put a finger on, but after being on reddit for 10 or more years yah notice some strange consistent peculiarities that are hard to put in words.
I'm curious: I would expect that this approach would give rise to more coding errors (because the consequences of coding errors are smaller). Is that the case?

Why does every IM UI library have a dropdown widget that they call "Combo box"? Dear IMGUI, Nuklear, this one does it too.

A dropdown list is not a combo box - a combo box is a text input box combined with a dropdown list. This "combo" aspect is missing in all these frameworks, but they still call their simple dropdowns "Combo box".

> enumerating struct members in preprocessor macros (something like:)

I considered something along these lines: my main use case would be to produce string versions of enum values, like Rust’s «#[derive(Debug)]».

The problem is that, without type information, it would be too fragile, so I decided to leave it out.

Still, I’ll consider what you propose, maybe there is some form of purely syntactical macro that could cover these use cases.

I do actually think twice about companies doing that. If you contract out a job indefinitely then it’s just a workaround to prevent giving all the rights associated with being employed. I honestly think no job should be able to be contracted out of it lasts over a year
No, but a ‘bit flip’ could make them do so just as easily as a ‘bit flip’ could make the CSAM detector do something nefarious.
Not only that, but a tweet from someone who has earned the title, "the pandemic's wrongest man".

ETA: And to critique the substance and not the messenger, I have tried to track down any publication of the Israeli Health Ministry that contains data supporting this claim, and have failed to do so. All traces lead to a story in the Israel National News, which gives no specifics about the source of the data, just lots of numbers to support the conclusion that vaccines don't work well. There's a good chance all this is just fabricated.

If you can cite a report by the Israeli Health Ministry and provide an analysis supporting the claim that doesn't contain an obvious statistical error (wrong denominator being the one I suspect), then I will apologize abjectly and donate $1000 to the charity of your choice.

This is a very inspiring story. I was struck by the following:

"Mr Sawhney...said up to 70% of the world's population do not have access to electric washing machines."

As someone who belongs to the 30% (as I suspect are the vast majority of HN), it's a humble reminder how much we take for granted - even with common appliances.

The latest video from the Washing Machine Project channel on YouTube shows the machine in operation. The drum is angled during washing. It then moves to a vertical position and the drum spins faster to rinse the washing while water collects below the drum:

Extensions are basically the PINs you're talking about. Your idea is basically making everything in existence currently a subdomain and a new super TLD which would be the PIN. Which would break nearly all existing infrastructure, render trillions of dollars of marketing and consumer understanding useless and for what? To let you get a better domain name? Because... you can't afford the one you want? The idea is simply stupid from every angle possible.

The other questions remains unaddressed from my research. There are other economic factors aside from direct kills of livestock by wolves. Not to mention the transaction costs of engaging with the bureaucracy to make claims, or claims denied.

https://dnr.wi.gov/files/PDF/pubs/ER/ER0658.pdf

>However, there have been concerns from livestock producers in this region about the economic impacts related to factors other than the direct losses of animals killed by wolves. The very threat of depredation by wolves on livestock can be stressful to farmers (Fritts et al. 2003). Shelton (2004) reported that livestock producers have increased costs associated with efforts to prevent predation which may include night confinement, improved fencing,
early weaning, choice of grazing area, or increased feeding costs from a loss of grazing acreage.

>Though there is not definitive research supporting the following, it is plausible that other impacts predators may have on livestock production include abortions from the stress of being harassed by predators, disease transmission, decreased weight gain from increased vigilance by livestock living near predators, potential reduction in meat quality from stress, and emotional stress placed on livestock producers concerned about depredations.

https://www.beefmagazine.com/pasture-range/coping-wolves-wis...

>In 2013, verified wolf damage on a farm in central Wisconsin resulted in cattle stampeding into a cranberry marsh, causing $50,000 in damages to the cranberry grower. In 2014, a cattle producer in northern Wisconsin experienced weight loss in 160 steers due to wolf-caused stress. The steers actually lost weight over a three-month period whereas each should have gained 180 pounds. The net loss to this cattle producer as a result of the stress was $43,200.

I don't think it is unreasonable at all to question the value of these programs. They clearly negatively impact the quality of life for certain communities.

If people in DC or elsewhere want to enjoy the value of wild wolves, perhaps they should create a privately owned preserve for their wolves. Let the users of the services provided by wild wolves pay for the value they derive from it.

If there's a responsible way to keep a black bear in NYC, it is in a zoo, insured and funded by user fees. The point may be unpopular here, but the logic is sound. The defenses of state owned wolves here largely fall back upon romanticism, which can be adequately served by private solutions.

Oh yes, my daughter's favorite (she loves rabbits in general) helps her all time, even during sleep. She's role playing with the doll, as well as her imaginary friends (who also aid her, and go through similar events as she does). I suppose before she had imaginary friends, a solution as OP's makes sense.

A plushie (often a favorite) who also suffers from the same (or similar) issue creates that form of empathy/connection children require.

We got some special toys as well, for example a doll with a heartbeat which supposedly helps kids with autism (both parents in our household got the diagnosis). I don't think it works for our oldest, and for our youngest jury's out on it (he's not even 1 year old).

Even in the most water starved countries, 10000 litre tanker delivery costs $10 at most. That's 1 million tons of water for 1 million bucks a year.

Yeah whenever I’ve trained for marathons and I’ve not actively worked at keeping myself from eating too much more, I’ve gained weight during the training. Every single time. You do of course burn more calories than you would if you didn’t exercise but most people don’t realize how easily you can eat back those calories and more if you’re not careful.
> Climate change denial lacks the science behind it; it shouldn't be taught. That doesn't make climate change education biased toward liberals.

To paraphrase: “Our institution doesn’t believe this so our institution shouldn’t teach this!”

Also, you’re making a false dichotomy: it’s possible that both conservatives and liberals misrepresent climate change.

“Climate change education” often doesn’t have science behind it either — it’s fanciful projections from the most shocking numbers they found in an actual report, made into sausage through the citation grinder.

That climate change denial shouldn’t be taught is also why the fanciful, extreme left wing form of “climate change education” we see in universities shouldn’t be taught.

Teaching that fanciful view in universities is liberal bias, even if teaching denialism would also be wrong.

It means that the nitpicking, planning, penny pinching behavior that preceded the loss was pointless

Maybe the author is struggling with some sort of penny pinching behavior that preceded a life loss, but this is an incorrect conclusion.

Sometimes life just happens. And it has nothing to do with the validity or value of your preceding actions, but it's certainly a commentary on the futility of many of our efforts. The author sounds like he needs a good wisdom walk down the book of Ecclesiastes:

I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all."
Most basic needs are or could be met already. Apart from Housing / Shelter. Which some how no government plans to tackle because the world economy is quite literally built or based on land and property prices. Even talks about UBI completely neglect housing prices.

Which I came to the sad conclusion, those that understand housing wont talk about it, those that dont understand will never talk about it.

The Times of Israel article is still just conjecture. The only data is a quote from their ex-virus Czar saying selective pressure ‘could’ lead to the emergence of a vaccine resistant variant.

We know conclusively that large unvaccinated populations do lead to the emergence of more virulent strains. We also know that mass vaccination reduces mortality significantly so it’s the best option available today.

> like parents will go to school to flame teacher cuz their kid disagrees with them on $hot_topic?

Worse: for even bringing up a hot topic without bending entirely to the parent's opinion on it (where these opinions differ from a straight description of the facts, is when it's really annoying to deal with this—no amount of neutrality will make them happy, because that's "indoctrination" from their POV). Definitely doesn't have to get to the point of the kid disagreeing with the parent, just presenting anything that they don't agree with can result in angry calls or visits from parents.

Note also that you'd probably be very surprised what can count as a "hot topic".
