> Also, conservatives have moved far rightward, which might make others relatively more leftish.

I don't think this is true, I think the left-wing media has fixated increasingly on the far-right or exaggerating the extent to which individuals on the right are "far-right" which gives the impression that the right is drifting, but it's just the media changing how it represents the right. To be clear, the right is changing, but it's not perceptibly drifting to the right.

> Also, reactionaries politicize lots of things, such as climate change. Education and research isn't affirmative action for conservatives - they need to prove their ideas. Climate change denial lacks the science behind it; it shouldn't be taught. That doesn't make climate change education biased toward liberals.

2 things:

1. We don't even need to invoke conservative beliefs (certainly we don't need to cherry-pick the most overtly anti-science of conservative beliefs), we can look at moderate liberal beliefs, like colorblind approaches to combatting racism which are equally vilified and actively suppressed.

2. If we're talking about "ideas competing in some marketplace" then why are the left so frequently resorting to cancellation of intellectuals rather than debate? E.g., consider all of the petitions to have professors fired or to have papers deleted from journals. And I'm not talking about dumb kids circulating petitions to have their professors fired, but university faculty circulating petitions to have their colleagues fired for ideological (not factual) transgressions.

But every time we talk about this, left-wing folks pretend that the debate is whether or not to allow creationism or climate denial in the classroom. This seems transparently disingenuous to me.

There are still a lot of people trying to tout the "do-nothing" approach to CoVID-19.

It's been obvious for more than a year that it's possible to eliminate the virus entirely and then reopen society with very few restrictions. This approach saves lives, gives people the ability to live their lives normally, and is better for the economy. China, Australia, New Zealand and a few other countries have demonstrated this.

Why we're still arguing about this is beyond me. The question isn't what the best strategy is - it's why most developed countries can't/don't/won't implement the most effective strategy.
> mdbug: Sugar does not cause diabetes.

> mdbug: Insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes is mostly caused by obesity.

Your statements are misleading. Sugar can be addictive. Sugar can also cause obesity. Sugar can also cause insulin resistance. Sugar can also cause diabetes. These concepts are not mutually exclusive.

2007: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2235907/

The reviewed evidence supports the theory that, in some circumstances, intermittent access to sugar can lead to behavior and neurochemical changes that resemble the effects of a substance of abuse.

2010: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20138901/

It is thought that SSBs contribute to weight gain in part by incomplete compensation for energy at subsequent meals following intake of liquid calories. They may also increase risk of T2DM and CVD as a contributor to a high dietary glycemic load leading to inflammation, insulin resistance and impaired beta-cell function.

2012: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22289979/

Temporal patterns over the past three to four decades have shown a close parallel between the rise in added sugar intake and the global obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) epidemics.

2013: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23657152/

The incidence of T2D increased dramatically over the last decades mainly due to Western lifestyle factors such as lack of exercise and high calorie diets. In fact, high-sugar diets are thought to promote weight gain and insulin resistance predisposing to T2D

2015: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26376619/

There are plausible mechanisms and research evidence that supports the suggestion that consumption of excess sugar promotes the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) both directly and indirectly.

I'll just stop looking there.
Taking the mask on and off introduces risk of infection when touching it. And risk of forgetting to put it on when needed.

We need to realign all resources to point towards the CCP and probably Russia.

Wasting time to have the resources available if Afghan war operations need it is a colossal waste.
> an example where print publishing does a disservice

What would be an example (in the area of learning) where it does not? In the age of pervasive computing printed text is just that - a printout. A screenshot, if you will. Not extremely useful. Even a basic 3D model of something (like a car engine) that you could simply rotate and zoom is immensely more informative than a static picture of the same object.

Text, such as a mathematical proof, too, could be made dynamic for the benefit of the student: you could hide or show references, insert notes, etc.

Static/printed content is merely an artifact of the past technology we continue clinging to for no good reason.

To say nothing about the environmental impact.
The simplifies the problem technically and complicates it politically, at least in the US. Those hardest hit by a tax implemented that way are friendly with the elite of the US, so much so we have been at war with their enemies for decades.
Right, the idea is if I currently have empty land nothing is captured. If I then plant a forest that captures X lbs of CO2 that is continuously harvested and re-planted, on average X/2 lbs (roughly) of CO2 is permanently taken out of the air (as long as the forest is being harvested and replanted).
Worth remembering that the term “fake news” did not exist in the mainstream until 6 years ago. It used to be called “liberal bias in the media” but fake news is a political slogan like Death Tax or Cancel Culture and like political slogans of previous generations I am optimistic we will not be stuck here forever.
This is 100% spin. Bacha Bazi existed before, during, and after the Taliban's reign. Not only that, there were plenty of circumstances where the victims were charged with homosexuality crimes during the Taliban's reign instead of the perpetrators. It's deeply entrenched in Pashtun culture and has been a thing for centuries. I'm not suggesting this makes it an acceptable practice, but it does explain why it remains prevalent to date and is not a determinant factor in "winning the hearts and minds" of the Afghan people.

Afghanistan is an extremely fractured nation where the central government does not have absolute control or ability to govern many of the provinces. Pashtuns are tribal and a lot of conflicts stem from Pashtunwali, essentially a code of conduct, which one of its core pillars is revenge. This creates never ending conflicts between tribes that have wronged each other. They're simply not united. Even during the Taliban's reign, they did not have complete control over the country. The Northern Alliance still controlled the Northern part of the country (which is the vector from which we begun operations with Special Forces assisting the Northern Alliance in defeating the Taliban).

This, along with the racial tensions where the affluent in Afghanistan tend to be Tajiks and have wielded a lot of political power despite being a vast minority in the state are probably bigger contributors. All the Taliban need to do is convince the warlord of a given area and they will effective control that area.
If anyone is interested in getting an idea for how regular Afghans think about their country, policies, etc, this report from 2019 gives a pretty good view. The 2020 report isn't too great since the pandemic. But there is a report for every year going back to like 2005 or so, so you can see how attitudes changed over time:

https://asiafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/2019_A...

In essence, a vast majority of afghans polled believe in women's rights to vote and to work. The Taliban is not popular at all with a vast majority believing they deserve no sympathy. However, many do think peace is possible.

One of the biggest issues the Afghans appear to have is a vast majority believe their own armed forces are badly corrupt.

Afghanistan is by no means a liberal place and is extremely religiously conservative in many ways, but the general public has no taste for Taliban style rule.

This is a truly sad disaster unfolding and I only hope a peace deal is brokered somehow. But with so little resistance, you almost have to wonder if the Taliban would want that now? The only hope I can see is that 65% of the population is under 18 and want educational and career opportunities and I wonder if they'd be willing to rise up if the Taliban does in fact revert to their policies pre-9/11.

If you're already healthy then don't worry about it? For the metabolically sick people the idea of "losing weight to get healthy" is sort of wrong. One must get healthy first and when health is regained through proper lifestyle and nutrition the weight will also come off. Getting healthy can take months so visible changes in terms of starting to lose visible fat can take months as well.

The root of it is this idea that war could be a "tool of liberation", looking backwards with rose-colored glasses at WWII. It was a brilliant compromise between neo-liberals (to whom the idea was very comforting) and the U.S. Military Industrial Complex (who has made trillions of dollars off of this flawed notion).

With all the money and resources spent in that country promoting something most of the people there never wanted, we probably could have been carbon neutral 3 or 4 times over.

We gave up so many of our freedoms at home - went collectively insane for two decades out of some abstract fear of "terrorism". The number of Americans _alone_ who died (and probably will die in the future) as a result of this miscalculation is a huge scalar multiple of the life and property lost on 9/11.

The Pax Americana that the post-Cold-War era promised is shattered. Even the one "silver lining": That this one poor little country would be a place where women would be more free and have a little better life... And maybe something good would come out of that. Even that is gone now.

I agree, it's just hard to salvage any kind of positive outcome from this - especially considering the huge opportunity costs.
Or perhaps they changed their minds once they realized the error? Just because something seems obvious to you doesn't mean it must seem obvious to anyone else.

You're making pretty wild claims, you really need numbers to back it up.
We need to realign to face the CCP and probably Russia and NK. Having stuff there is a waste.

In WW3, the Taliban will be nobodies and one or two minimal terrorist attacks in Europe will be the least of our worries.
This is exactly the kind of misunderstanding—willful or not—that has been used to prevent progress on these types of issues for decades.

Even if we did what david927 suggests, and imposed a $20 million/person wealth cap globally, no one would be meaningfully "leveled down." The differences between the lifestyle of someone with $20 million and someone with $200 billion aren't that different: what's different is the level of power the latter has over people and governments. Power that has no checks and balances, no strings, no way of ensuring it's not massively abused. And given the kind of person you need to be to amass a fortune in the billions in the first place, it's nearly guaranteed that it will be abused.

The amount of money people are actually talking about taking from the billionaires will not affect their lifestyle. Period. They will still be vastly, unimaginably rich. They will go on accumulating more money, probably faster than any wealth tax will be able to appropriate it, without doing *anything*.

No one deserves to be paid more in a year for simply existing than an average human needs to spend in their entire lives on food, clothing, and shelter.

I agree with the other poster that starting with HTML and JavaScript is beneficial to have a better understanding of React and what it does for you. I’d recommend the curriculum at FreeCodeCamp, where you can work through the HTML course, the JS course, and then go to the React course. It’s a nice (and free) introductory path with a good balance between guided problems and open-ended projects, and there’s a great deal of support (online forums, chats) to ask for help if/when they get stuck.

Now I'm confused. The article says at one point that ANSI "letter" is 8 1/2 inches by 12 2/3 inches and also that "letter" size is 8 1/2 inches by 11 inches without explaining the discrepancy. So which is it?
I think they lost credibility long before that, honestly...

It has led to decimation of big industries in the US / Western Europe, fueling the rise of demagogues (Trump, Le Pen, AfD, ...). It has also given power to despot regimes like Chinese Communist Party.

> Younger journalists are less likely to see their job as being a neutral arbiter of truth and more likely to see themselves as part of the culture war.

That's a great way of phrasing it, because it speaks to the economic reality.

You don't get hired as an independent or investigative journalist anymore, at the start of your career.

You do get hired as a content magnet for eyeballs.

This has always been a tension, but it's been exacerbated by the destruction of traditional news funding models and substitution of Facebook and Google ad networks.

So quite literally, the job is fanning the flames of culture war, regardless of how you feel personally. Because that's where the money is. And that's what you're being paid to do.

Passwords are exceedingly inconvenient, and getting rid of them doesn't require adding a second factor. To use passwords, you have to constantly monitor the Internet to see if it's been leaked (in the case where you use a password and memorize it), or you have to subscribe to a third-party service to manage your passwords. To use WebAuthn, you just need the functionality built into your OS. Physical custody of your computer and the screen lock then protect your online accounts.

Or in the case of Github, you generate an SSH key and put the public key in Github and keep the private key around.

Both are much more convenient than passwords, but also more secure. It's a win/win.
> Honesty and a willingness to accept that you're just as biased as anyone else can get you pretty far.

I am very confident that there is a phenomena whereby someone can do this, but that in doing so their mind is in a certain "mode" of some kind (abstract, for starters), but when the mind is in a different mode (discussion or arguing about object level ideas, culture war topics tend to work best), the knowledge that they formerly had becomes inaccessible, often even if reminded of it.

My armchair theory is that this plays a part in it (but there are surely other things going on):

You're wrong despite your confidence. Cage will have zero net gravitational effect on the black hole (assuming the cage is perfectly symmetrical), but that just means it won't by itself exert gravitational force on the black hole (and vice versa) causing it to move in any direction.

Cage's material will still get attracted to the black hole and close to the event horizon structural forces exerted by gravity will be hard / impossible to counteract with current materials: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

Ask HN: How to Revive Dying Creativity?
In the past I've been a relatively creative person. Creating side projects and working on my music hobby. The past 6 months however have been an absolute slog in terms of my creative endeavors.

I quit drinking and smoking marijuana a little over a year ago...not sure if I should pick up the latter again to see if it sparks something.

I had a big life change of moving across the country last month and being a first time home owner that I thought was weighing on me. But since being here this creative rut has continued.

I'm also quite over analytical when it comes to my artistic hobbies. I dream of becoming a famous X, and I feel that has sucked a lot of the enjoyment out of it, to the point where it might be hard for me to do it without this ego-driven motive.

Any ideas on how I can kick start the creative process and enjoy it again?

> Third, evidence shows anti-intellectualism is connected to populism, a worldview that sees political conflict as primarily between ordinary citizens and a privileged societal elite.

Sounds like a strange definition of populism. The presence of the political conflict brings attention to it, and the best model of the conflict so far includes tension between ordinaries and elites. Even experts don't propose a better picture, so this worldview is rational.
Fact checkers reconcile memes/news media against primary sources/other news media while adding context, references, and journalistic integrity. Yes, they're human and inevitably bring their own biases, but do you really think we shouldn't have some folks doing that job?

I believe that the Roche limit would be roughly the same as it is on earth. However, the gravity constant would be the same. So for something as massive as a person, you should not experience any destructive forces until you reached extremely close to the object. Probably measured in a handful of miles or less.
