I'm not sure what you mean? I would suggest to take a look at the release notes for the newest Qt or GTK for example, if you want to see what the purpose of various changes are.
I appreciate the reply. I was not trolling in my OP, I was seriously curious since I couldn't recall any.

Indeed nuclear power seems like an odd one to be opposed to. I think the idea is because we should be going forward with solar and wind?

The social commentary is a not what I had in mind because I don't consider it a hard science like virology, biology, etc.
I'm enjoying story analysis a lot now. I've gone beyond watching movies and reading books to know the plot. My hobby now is finding all the possible plots based on the introduced characters and situations.

What makes it fun is that multiple people have invented a lot of rules around what a good story should be. Aristotle has written what's closest to the Newton Laws. It's badass that Newton's Laws still hold up with astrophysics and it's badass that something someone wrote in ancient Greece still holds up in the modern era of cinema. It's flawed, but it says things straight, instead of lots of maybes, so it's easy to prove true or false.

Megamind is an interesting beginner's analysis. It's very formulaic but doesn't look anything like that. It's subtle too, his cloak changes color according to his progress as a character.

Toy Story is probably the most interesting because it doesn't really fit in any major format. It's a Comedy, there's a misunderstanding, and things go from high to low to high again where enemies are friends. But that's about it. There's a lot of little highs and lows, as opposed to the usual where it's all ascends to one really big high (e.g. Guardians of the Galaxy). In Toy Story, he's about to get home, then things get worse. He makes another plan, it fails. It just gets progressively worse. There's no fixed mentor character too. Buzz and Woody are both protagonists, antagonists, and mentors to each other, except the story is told through Woody's perspective. The most interesting part is that they hatched a formula from it that works, which is used in all other Toy Story movies and a little in other movies. It seems they didn't follow the classical literature analysis and made up their own formulas and it works.

That’s what scares me. I actually don’t think we have the type of productivity in our country to be so aggressive with awarding ourselves debt.

Our major growth industry mostly makes apps. We don’t even have a proper semiconductor industry in America. People are getting older. Where is all this productivity going to come from? From everyone switching to web development and making more TikTok apps? That’s the productivity that we think will pay trillions of dollars worth of Medicare/social security? I don’t really see it.

I just read a wsj article about how men have pretty much stopped going to college:

No, it isn't. Next.
What mathematicians are you talking about? Set theorists and number theoriests have very precise definitions of numbers.

Maybe by "number" in general do you mean something that encapsulates both "real numbers" as in lengths, and "integers" as in the discrete counting numbers? In which you can quite easily do so by defining real numbers, either formally or saying that something like the Wikipedia definition that they are a distance along a line, and then saying integers are a subset of those numbers.
Your resistors would still need a varying voltage applied to them in order to spin the rotor. If you view your "pulsed DC" as not being AC then a simple brushless DC motor would meet the same definition. I believe if you want a truly DC motor without a commutator generating AC like a brushed DC motor you would need a homopolar motor.

There's ads. Upon opening the app, I get one to apply to work at Chick-fil-A. After scrolling a number of videos, I got an for Givingli. No idea how much/little that pays the bandwidth bills, but the ads themselves are largely disguised as content - ads look just like any other content in the app. It does say sponsored while showing an ad, but it's subtle.

Why are those the only options?

Nationalization is also a potential and underrated part of the toolbox.

A nationalized-health-care system could be a huge lever on inflation. On a basic level, it would enjoy near or full monopsony status on many products and labour categories, so it would be easy to say "our reimbursement rates rise 2% per annum, and if you want to sell ANY product, you'll take it and like it." An even more aggressive process could take medical education and supply production directly under a state umbrella, further reducing market pressure for ever-growing margins.

Similarly, a "free state universities for all" program could come with strict restrictions on program costs to clamp down on spiraling costs.

Other forms of state intervention-- subsidized goods, for example, or even WWII-style ration books-- could help to mitigate the negative consumer-facing effects of inflation. You might have to pay $100 per kilo of ground beef on the open market, but if we had a functional ration system, everyone still gets sufficient coupons to have a hamburger once or twice a week. If the only things you need "dollars" for are luxury nonsubsidized/nonrationed goods, then the dollar can crash and burn every few decades with minimal quality-of-life impact.
Right, the discussion was around what bits of the internet should be a common carrier

This would essentially prevent godaddy from limiting service to a customer because they would be required to work with all peoples

My argument, was that yes, I agree that some things should be governed more like public utilities, like ISPs. Other things should not, like CDNs, or DDOS protection, etc.

IMO once you have internet, that is what is obligated to be made available to you, all these other services might help you but they are private companies that can refuse service for any reason

Anyway, I doubt this discussion continues as the topic is stale now, but I wanted to clarify my comment regarding where the line was. I wasn't talking about morality of issues, I was talking about where common carrier status should start / stop
Presumably they could ban duplicate accounts.

But yeah 100 posts per year or 1 per day would be interesting too and wouldn’t render your account as useless when you max out temporarily instead of permanently.
You "win at the game" by learning what is taught, getting the "A", and then doing you own in-depth research about what interests you on your own time.

K-12 was, of course, invented by the Germans in order to create good little factory workers that would get up early and work all day and not complain too much. The fact we still use the word Kindergarten is a nod to this origin story.

They weren't at all interested in the students gaining any "understanding" and most certainly not in them "winning" in any sense of the word.
On mechanical HDD front at least Hitachi UltraStar 7K3000 drives let you reset everything but the hour meter, so cant totally hide the scam. Doesnt stop people from reselling 2012 3TB 30000 hour drives as "new old stock", auction sites are full of them.
Strangely, this is one of my pet peeves, too. Especially with regard to COVID.

I've read many articles declaring that NYC was an "epicenter" of the COVID outbreak in spring of 2020, when "center" seems simpler and more appropriate.

Honestly, it's not a big deal, but I feel like those two syllables ("epi") are added to "center" without much thought and perhaps with some vague feeling that they give some high-tech oomph to the word "center."

edit: for earthquakes "epicenter" makes sense. For the distribution of an infectious agent, less so.
I'm eternally grateful every time I can complain to the seller, and hold them liable for the product for at least 2 years here in Europe. I once tried getting in contact with a major manufacturer about a broken device, and they did absolutely everything to make my life hard and draw the dispute out, even when I had video evidence of the failure. I just gave up at the end. So yes, the seller has to be held liable, and if the product is bad for business, the seller will not want to carry the products. If sellers stop buying unreliable, hard to update devices/vulnerable devices, maybe it will make enough of a dent on the bottom line.
Next I want to see Crysis running in a terminal.

Actually that raises an interesting question. Can OpenGL work in Notcurses?
> email address instead of phone number. Phone numbers are becoming increasingly useless.

Fantastic way to not have people send you messages anymore.

Phone numbers are technically becoming useless. They are practically still the by far dominant choice when someone goes to send you a new message.

We’ve had decades of texting phone numbers to reinforce this.
Why is there a false dichotomy that it's the vaccine or nothing?

Why can't there just be a better vaccine. What incentive do pharma companies even have to make a better vaccine, rather than one that is just "good enough" to be shipped as a product to a ready, desperate market.
That's quite a game to play, one of mutually assured destruction. I suggest that instead technology be devised to help expose the information necessary to pursue crime and criminality under mutually reasonably circumstances.

Otherwise you're just surrendering to mad-max anarchy.
#34 in my list of "shit I wish I knew when I was your age" - a document I gave to my kids:

When you talk to someone, give them your full attention - if you HAVE to look at your phone apologize profusely, explain why you have to and keep it super short. When you are done, help them remember what they were saying when you interrupted.
Personally I find these definitions a bit circular.

Equations like "a + x = b", "ax = b" and "sin(x) = 0" have no meaning unless you have an understanding of what the terms mean, or could mean.
Sorry to hear bout this, I'm curious what your symptoms are?
I think a bunch of people still credulously believe most of what they read. But if some days the bot actively impersonated _you_, and people reacted to stuff it said on your behalf, I think you'd have to grok pretty quickly that a lot of content is fake. So let's do that for every user, unpredictably, a reasonable percentage of the time.
I'm under the vague impression that newpipe/youtube-dl users don't count towards view counts or watch times at all, since the anti-botting measures youtube has in place to prevent view-fraud would filter such users out of consideration for those metrics. Aren't youtube webpages filled with a bunch of JS telemetry to distinguish "real" viewers from bots?

I think we're getting closer to the actual situation with this description. There are a lot of buckets of people who don't do well in a particular class.

And we both admittedly don't know the size of the bucket of people who cannot, given a lifetime of 80 years continuous study and tutoring, understand a topic.

But in my teaching experience, it's dwarfed by the group of people who doesn't care about the topic and bombs because they don't put in the effort.

"We provide evidence that cardiac PCs are not infected by SARS-CoV-2. Importantly, we show
that the recombinant S protein alone elicits cellular signalling through the CD147 receptor in
cardiac PCs, thereby inducing cell dysfunction and microvascular disruption in vitro."

The conclusions are on the first page.
The S-protein alone does this and not the virus. Anyone who fails to see this commented
after only reading the headline and not the article. This is literally the smoking gun.

You don't consider objectivity to be part of the hard sciences? Because that's what some on the left are opposed to. That, or the scientific method more specifically. Granted, it's a fringe opinion for sure.
Government policy reflects the culture. I have spent 30% of the last 20 years of my life in Japan, on and off again. One of the highest compliments paid to me by a group of Japanese friends was, “you must not do X again, you are Japanese and know better now.” I.E. as a foreigner I would get a pass, but my understanding of the culture reached a point where they expected better. I was both very highly embarrassed and also quite flattered. It is an amazingly nuanced civilization, sometimes unfortunately to the detriment of progress and equality.

It is not clear to me that shame as a function of policy works in the USA.

FWIW, I don't think the timescales are correct with the longitudinal twin-exercise studies. I don't think anyone would predict that exercise today would have anything (or rather, very little) causal to do with mood 2 years from now. Sustained exercise over the course of a couple of weeks or more might for that period or for maybe a month or two afterward, but I doubt anything more than that.

I also am not entirely sure that twin studies are the best way to get at causality in terms of exercise and mood, because the exercise is nonrandom. I think someone might object in the sense that that's the point, but my perspective is that it's still not the same as randomly assigning exercise. There's a lot buried in their acknowledgment that a third factor could still account for the results, as that means a lot given the design.

FWIW, there's also evidence in the opposite direction using similar but different logic without twins, but using molecular genetic risk scores:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41398-021-01306-w

"The risk of depression was 22% higher among those at high genetic risk compared with those at low genetic risk (HR = 1.22, 95% CI: 1.14–1.30). Participants with high genetic risk and unfavorable lifestyle had a more than two-fold risk of incident depression compared with low genetic risk and favorable lifestyle (HR = 2.18, 95% CI: 1.84–2.58). There was no significant interaction between genetic risk and lifestyle factors (P for interaction = 0.69). Among participants at high genetic risk, a favorable lifestyle was associated with nearly 50% lower relative risk of depression than an unfavorable lifestyle (HR = 0.51, 95% CI: 0.43–0.60). We concluded that genetic and lifestyle factors were independently associated with risk of incident depression. Adherence to healthy lifestyles may lower the risk of depression regardless of genetic risk."

I guess the broader point is to be careful about making claims of BS (or anything else) based on a single study.
You can easily define + on natural numbers and * on integer numbers without running into problems! Thus there is no cirularity here.

The super materail–thermoplastic splint and radiotherapy position masks
Founded in 1999，we mainly manufacture thermoplastic perforated sheet, which is the thermoplastic splint widely used in Orthopedic and the essential part of Radiotherapy Position systems. Many people know about Aquaplast and Orthoplast, or brands such as Roylan, Ezeform, qfix..., however, we are the real manufacture of these products, the real manufacture behind of main providers in the market all over the world in past 20 years without being known. Until now the contraction is expired and we could accept orders by OEM.

Ordering these expendable directly from a factory like us is economical. We will supply, definitely, the same products with the same quality and more attractive price.

· Strong support as a brace in Rhinoplasty/Nasal Surgery
· Reliable and steady fixer in radiotherapy
· Effective protective shell to fire injured skin
· Easy reshape under moderate temperature(149℉/65℃) and turn to hard in minutes
· Variable color and variable micro-perforation design, attractive and breathable.
· Sticky or anti-sticky with coating, rich in size, thickness... All for convenience to your work.
Our products are widely used in Orthopedic, Radiotherapy, and Rhinoplasty. Here you can also find splints for other applications, such as teeth splint or in other words teeth care.
There is more information about thermoplastic splint and Radiotherapy position masks coming soon. https://www.allfitsplint.com
I actually find this type of wishing to be very harmful. The future doesn't exist. I would have been more interested in seeing how this person plans on improving themselves over the next decade. For example I'm spending a good amount of money to learn Mandarin right now. I don't expect to be fluent, but within 10 years I would like to be able to ask about the weather.

I would have rather read something with concrete goals. Not just oh hopefully maybe I'll be married and happy by then. Life is an insanely strange journey and the more you try to plan the more disappointed you'll become.

When it comes to finding a partner, excessive planning is actually very harmful. You start to develop the strange idea that your owed something, or if you do x y and z a partner will materialize. I have several friends who are divorced now, you just can't predict the future. You might fall in love with someone amazing and then they suffer a breakdown and can no longer continue the relationship. Or you might be the one who suffers a breakdown.

It's hard enough to predict what you're going to be doing next month to be honest. Why try to guess what's going to happen in the next decade?
Reputational cost to whom? The platforms? Due to network effects they are quasi-monopolies. The FAANGs have moved in recent years to cement their monopolies via government influence. What did they have to offer in return? Political donations and censorship-on-demand.

Or do you mean the bad actors are the ones initiating censoring on behalf of the platforms (via scurrilous flagging of wrongthink, or by mobbing down heterodox opinion). The platforms are taking their cues from politics (government and tech culture) and don't need the reporting system to censor people.

I assume you don't mean there's a lack of reputational cost to bad actors and the bad actors are those who are being censored, as that wouldn't make sense.
