> So are you saying "If your opinions are anywhere right of woke, you get banned straight up." is an incorrect statement?

Yeah, uniform rules are rarely reality. I do think people right of woke get ostracized with fairly regular tempo, sometimes that's bans, sometimes that's through other means.

> The last comment tried to shift the goalposts from being "banned straight up" to being suppressed through voting. Now you're trying to shift to a sometimes ban... there's also talk about not banning the people on the extreme right or not banning the "idiots" so they make the right look bad.

It seems like you're expecting me to have much more concrete thoughts and feelings around this subject. I don't. I have my experiences, if you're willing to value them then great, if you're the kind of person that thinks anecdotes are useless then our discussion is over. I didn't sit around writing down all the details around everything I ever saw that rubbed me the wrong way over years (nearly a decade now) of internet based discourse. That's to say, I can provide you a lens to look through, I can't make you see anything you don't believe exists.

> I'm asking because it sure looks like conservatives are just angry about being downvoted. That's a valid, but very different concern.

I am not a conservative. I also think the two are problems likely in the same domain based on what I've read of other replies.
When I was a teenager I was really hoping that when I grew up I would stop being sleepy in the morning and then becoming wide awake around 11pm.

Hasn’t changed at all. Everyone’s got some way that society doesn’t work for them though. Being left handed, too short, too tall, a minority, wheelchair-bound etc. All things considered I have it pretty good.
This is called work piling. The unit of work isn't whatever people want it to be, it's jobs, meaning entire human beings. During a recession it rarely makes sense to keep people employed at full capacity, maybe you only need each person at 50%. So the obvious solution is to just fire 50% of the workers.

You now have a segment of the population with enough work and another with too little. Those with work are scared of losing the job. Those without are desperately trying to compete in the labor market to get a new job.

The LimeSDR Kickstarter made these grand promises of running a repo full of usable apps for your board. Many years later that repo is still quite spartan.

I've generally had pretty good luck with my LimeSDR, but I don't try to push it too hard. The documentation can be frustratingly minimal in so many places and the USB implementation on my board is touchy (it must be plugged into exactly the right port on my computer or the device enumerates incorrectly and is unusable).

Yes. SEC staff have had to face angry haters after shutting down Ponzi schemes. Not from the people running them. From the suckers, who were hoping that if it went on a little longer, they'd come out ahead.
Honestly I have yet to see any convincing scientific evidence that is free from confounding factors which suggests that there is waning immunity.

And there's reason to believe from HCoV-229E that immunity against coronaviruses is actually durable and that reinfection is due to mutation and immune escape.

Fantastic article! These simplified economies do follow similar constraints as real economies. A popular argument is that we are not all homo economicus... but video game players are real humans, not NPCs, and yet they reproduce most of the same classical economic issues that were predicted from first principles by philosophers such as Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and Henry George.

> The jumpers were easy to figure out and not as complicated as the author makes out. Contrary to the experience that na85 had; "Cable Select" _never_ worked for me.

I think every drive I encountered that was manufactured after the early 90s either had a printed diagram for the jumpers somewhere on it, or else had labels molded right in to the plastic case around the pins themselves. Only time it was hard, back when I used to tinker with computers a lot, was when I'd be messing with a junked 286 or something. Further, by the late 90s IIRC drives had begun to converge on a standard jumper layout.

OK, let's look at it differently: was Apple smart to do Maps or not? Think of pros and cons and we know money means nothing. Apple has so much money they can spend $20 Billion in a quarter on it/them if they wanted.

They could do the same with a "good enough" SE and then let the heavy users set Google as default. Did they lose any users from Apple Maps?

Why is the example you linked a bad thing? He spent months writing hundreds of articles of good content. If you trust the metrics, it looks like a lot of people were reading the articles and finding real value. From the thread:

"I’m far from a copywriter, but the content added was informative & above everything else, answered the search query in full. I can blitz out 10k words a day of garbage content easily, but it’s worth putting in extra effort and writing better content, even if there's less of it."

This isn't an example of somebody taking advantage of ads to scam anyone. Maybe you disagree, but my take is that this is a legitimate business that provided real value to it's users and happened to use some gray hat SEO to grow.
I fail to find in the question, the time period when the user is planning to do it. I wasn't assuming he is planning to do it literally right now.
Unfortunately, I agree with this. I was an early backer on the mini, and got it with the aluminium case. While the case looked great, it mechanically interfered with the antennae, meaning they didn't actually make a connection. Their support taught me how to screw in an antenna, ignoring the actual problem, before deciding my issue was too hard and ignoring me. I got eventually got in some antennae from Ossmann, but when other hardware/software issues cropped up, my enthusiasm for the device had already waned too much to want to put in effort. I got some basic things working eventually, but never outperformed cheaper devices.

> For other readers who want an example of this, look no further than how the Académie Française wants people to use the term "audio à la demande" instead of Podcast.

I can think of worse ideas. It's always shocking to me how people think that there's a difference of some kind between "podcasts" and "audio files that you download from the internet". The name really seems to be doing serious damage to people's understanding of what's happening.
Sort of a side tangent, but what is the best way to go about choosing a place (even in the US) to live? Aside from budget ofc.
A layman's take:

Maybe the antibodies are different because the immune system is being presented with _only_ the spike protein, rather than the whole virus?

From my understanding, the immune system breaks the viral proteins up into pieces and then starts rapidly "evolving" antibodies to target those pieces. The goal being to ultimately produce antibodies that target those pieces, and don't target the learned whitelist of proteins (from your own body). Once it's got that it begins deploying antibody producing cells, and remembers the antibodies for later infections.

What I'm curious about is the stopping criteria the body uses during the evolution stage. It sounds like it's producing an array of antibodies, not just one kind. So the stopping criteria isn't finding one working antibody. Perhaps it's more like, "Produce at least N different antibodies."

If the latter, then the difference between natural and mRNA immunity makes sense to me. If your immune system is working to produce N different antibodies for the whole viral proteome, less of those antibodies will target the spike protein. And thus it will have less resilience to changes in the spike protein. But of course more tolerance to changes in the virus as a whole. Whereas with mRNA the immune system only sees the spike proteins, and since it's still going to make N different antibodies it'll have more tolerance for changes to the spike protein.

What's most interesting to me, assuming any of the above is close to reality, is that mRNA vaccines allow us to give our immune system an inductive bias of some kind. Presumably our immune systems aren't "smart" enough to know what parts of a virus are most conserved, and thus best to target. It just targets all of it blindly. mRNA vaccines used the spike protein because we believe that to be the most conserved proteins. If those change too much the virus either won't work, or will effectively be a different species. So our mRNA vaccines are a way of telling our immune systems to focus their work on the "important" proteins, and thus, we would assume, give us better immunity.

Whether our guess about the spike proteins is correct remains to be seen I suppose.
That I readily believe, but to face a sheet is a different matter, which I believe was the application the OP intended.

You can also cut tungsten with water jets loaded with abrasives, I've seen a 2" thick block cut like that, it was quite impressive. But that won't get you a surface. You'd need to start with a sheet of the right thickness.
Yeah, well, gotta do what you gotta do. When the laws are completely fucked, you take matters in your own hands. Citizens of ex-communist countries know a thing or two about it.
Come help out with Apache Airflow! It's a great project to get involved with because it has a ton of users and real world problems, but it's still early enough that there's low hanging fruit in terms of adding functionality and improving existing code.

A helpful place to start is the provider packages, since Airflow has integrations with so many 3rd party providers, and if you have knowledge in any of them it can be a good jumping off point.

If anyone like me have some vague memory of the name Sailfish OS, here from Wiki:

>The OS is an evolved continuation of the Linux MeeGo OS previously developed by alliance of Nokia and Intel which itself relies on combined Maemo and Moblin

MeeGo. The era when both Nokia and Intel had zero freaking idea about Smartphone.

But I am glad Sailfish is still doing great. It has been a long time since the name appeared in any media.
I spent $2K (X-carve). I've made spheres, cubes, boxes, various 3D shapes I bought on Ebay, and keep the parts around (they're nice to look at as well as hold during long meetings). A cube with filleted edges is particularly nice, although you can make that easily with just a table saw and a sander. If you sand it enough, it can be unbelievably smooth. or you can make it rough.

note that I'm mainly doing wood because the x-carve can't carve aluminum easily (no idea about tungsten). If I could make metal cubes, I would.

The actual hobby here is all sorts of wood projects, like tables, arts, etc, but I still make small geometry pieces all the time because I enjoy 3D graphical objects in the real world.

I've got the LimeSDR standard size one, and I've never been able to make good use of it. Thinking of throwing it on eBay soon.

That's breach of contract and you can sue them. Have it say something like "The obligation is terminated only after the tenant has moved out and returned the keys". If they stay, you can sue them for not paying rent since they're still a tenant. If they return the keys, immediately change the lock and enable the alarm. If they break in, you can sue them for damaging your property and they also get criminally charged with B&E.

But this is not what happened. Median carrying costs for real estate have fallen, so that US housing affordability has increased (for buyers).

The places where this is not true are all places that have seen significant population growth and have not permitted sufficient new construction. For example, in Jacksonville, FL, the median home costs $250k, which would leave a payment of ~29% of the median household income in Jacksonville using a 5% down payment. Similar math works in other cities where builders have been allowed to keep pace with population growth.

Thought experiment: let's say I'm in a Zoom call (or Jitsi or whatever) with some strangers, and in turn each of us plays some music in the call (could be from Spotify, could be from the local music library, whatever can be piped into an audio sink), assume the room is open for anyone to join, would this (which is basically plug.dj over webrtc) be illegal?

I meant culture of living. Things like cities with lots of parks and pedestrian zones, more walking/less dependency on cars, hidden coffee shops between old buildings, ability to live decently on a very small budget, free education and healthcare, generally easier to make friends, specially if you are a foreigner - things like that.

I would not necessarily compare Serbians to conservatives in US (we are both generalizing now). What you may have experienced in general is 'caution' because that region of the world experienced wars every 30 years on average for the last 1000 years (unlike US). So it's not like its resisting change, but the progress was hindered so many times, having to rebuild everything from scratch. And it is hard to be 'liberal' in an environment where in some places you do not have basic infrastructure. Political 'progressive' thinking usually comes after you solved basic needs. That's just my assessment.
In the US to get actual squatter's rights you need to be somewhere for years and basically not get noticed or requested to leave at all. The idea is pretty interesting: if a piece of property is being completely unused to the point where its legal owner does not even know someone is living there, it's better for society for the squatter to live there and keep an eye on it, and it doesn't even really negatively impact the legal owner because how can they possibly care about a place they never visit?
