Google's street directions also fail miserably with international road names.

Words are fine, but person names or abbreviations will often use the English pronunciation which can be inexact or even incomprehensible.

For example: In Brazil, the major roadways are named with the initial code of the state, or BR if it's a federal road, and a bunch of numbers. So BR-101, for example. These are never named in full, so someone reading "BR-101" would not say "Brasil 101", they would say "B R 101".

There is a state called Santa Catarina, with initials SC, but Google decides that we somehow get transported to the United States somehow, since it reads "SC-406" as "South Carolina 406".

A human would at the very least have the context that SC definitely is not a common abbreviation for South Carolina in Brazil, even if they did not know any state names.
The people canceled by antiracists are mostly cultural moderates in liberal spaces, and that will always be true, because that's who they can get. They can't cancel conservatives, they can only make them stronger, so it's cancel well-meaning center-left people, or cancel nobody.
Agree, you could say the same thing about books. Documentaries get you into the head of their creator and can surface information to research later. They shouldn’t be seen as objective fact, the format just doesn’t allow for it.
The more people shout the (racist, if you look just below the surface) claim that ivermectin is "horse dewormer", the more other (less racist but more stupid) people are going to ingest the horse paste formulation of it.

The former group needs to realize that the horse has left -- er, that the cat's out of the bag. Viewed in the light most disfavorable to ivermectin, arguendo, the evidence for ivermectin's effectiveness is inconclusive and it cannot be truthfully stated that "it doesn't work"; moreover the evidence for its safety (when taken in the appropriate form and at the appropriate dose) is that it is a ridiculously safe drug. Viewed in a neutral light the evidence really is weighing slightly in favor of ivermectin being part of effective treatment and prophylaxis protocols. The least harm and most benefit will be gained by removing any societal pressures against doctors so that patients can get ivermectin under a doctor's supervision rather than furtively; with the added benefit that under such a system, if the evidence does turn strongly against ivermectin in the future, those doctors can discontinue treatment and explain to their patients the new evidence!

The other group just needs to stop eating horse paste. BUT, I suspect that the number of people who have actually done this is probably no more than a few dozen, and that mostly this news is a smear campaign against people taking the human formulation by equating them with people taking the horse paste. Yet, I admit that people's capacity for stupidity never ceases to surprise, so I reserve judgement on the news.
Are you sure extremely poorly educated population isn't also a major factor in this matter? I bet good money that these are the very same people that believe in creationism over evolution, that bush did 9/11, on bigfoot and the illuminati, et al.
> How is that fusion relevant to the orbital motion of bodies?

Because without fusion we would not observe them.
Wonder how much of this is due to Joe Rogan. he apparently took a bunch of things and his covid is negative.
Disclaimer: I am not implying I buy into the theories about ivermectin being an effective treatment for COVID.

This feels like another situation where the attempts to quell disinformation are having the opposite of their intended effect.

Depending on where these people first learned of this drug, there is some pretty confusing information floating around. When someone like Bret Weinstein points out that ivermectin is used widely and safely to treat river blindness, but most media sources are focused on “it’s a horse dewormer”, people stop listening.

Censoring most information about the human use of the drug is driving conspiracy types to decreasingly reputable sources and I’d argue that this is more responsible for the overdoses than anything.
I agree that our medical system is fucked, but what exactly are you referring to here? The process seems the same from when I was poor and now that I'm rich. Make appointment -> pay money -> see doctor -> get prescription -> go to pharmacy -> pay money -> get drugs. And the advice I get from doctors doesn't seem to be any better now. It's not like doctors that poor people see are intentionally giving bad medical advice.
Probably “Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions”, which is often promoted as an appropriate response to Israel’s occupation of Palestine.
Hmm, that's surprising. (although that sample does imply the OP is especially heavily edited as in itself it's slightly contradictory)

Although I suspect passing "NFT" vs. "Non-fungible token" as the prompt will get different results.
>We can’t reasonably be making “this type of refusal to do business is okay, but that one is not” based on moral agreements of individuals

I totally disagree, that seems completely reasonable to me. Are we not allowed to say that doing something moral is okay but doing something immoral is not ok?
>Yeah, if you’re going to be soliciting personal information for vigilante harassment, I’m not sure why you’d imagine that a standard mainstream host would want to touch you.

They are a state government attempting to enforce a law. By definition, it is not vigilante. Whether the law is agreeable or just is another question entirely; a political question.
I think the key word in your post is "support". Providing infrastructure services to someone and supporting them are different things. Society already acknowledges that it's not okay to cut off a building's water, electricity, or natural gas just because you don't like some activity that takes place in said building. Shouldn't Internet access be considered an infrastructure service too? And if not, then aren't you making an argument against net neutrality?
Conflating veterinary horse paste ivermectin with the human version of ivermectin is one of the most brazen lies I've ever seen from the American media, who is actively pushing pharmaceutical industry propaganda.

Just one of many examples this week:

"Joe Rogan has told his Instagram followers he has been taking ivermectin, a deworming veterinary drug formulated for use in cows and horses, to help fight the coronavirus."

https://www.npr.org/2021/09/01/1033485152/joe-rogan-covid-iv...

That's framed as though he took a drug for cows and horses! He certainly did not.

Meanwhile, this is the human version of ivermectin, the one Joe Rogan took:

"In 2015, William Campbell and Satoshi Ōmura won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for its discovery and applications. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines... Between 1995 and 2010 the program using donated ivermectin to prevent river blindness is estimated to have prevented seven million years of disability whilst costing US$257 million."

Re-read that. It's on the WHO's list of essential medicines. It prevented seven million years of disability for less than $300M. Is that anything remotely like the way it's being portrayed by the media?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivermectin

It's a cheap, Nobel Prize winning medication that is proven safe, having been used billions of times in humans.

Oh, but you can overdose on it? Just like most drugs?

As for its use with regard to Covid, I'm vaccinated and wouldn't personally seek it out, but here's a meta analysis of 63 studies https://ivmmeta.com/ which would suggest it's worth looking at. If doctors are prescribing it, such as in Joe Rogan's case, I don't see why that should be a problem.
The seemingly unconstitutional - but very common - practice of trying minors as adults makes me uneasy for future security "explorers".
You describe Windows approach, when a reboot solves a weird problem. In the Linux world you don't solve your problems by just mindlessly doing the same things again and again until it works. The best approach is to explore and learn, the longer you do that the simpler it becomes. That’s how Linux is best to be treated.
It’s just the continuation of the irony: Apple is also the only really popular consumer cloud provider with a proper e2e implementation, so they can’t scan photos in iCloud. It’s why they had to implement this process in the first place.

Some of Apple’s management must ponder that if only they didn’t go to such lengths in denying themselves access to user data, they’d have it so much easier—given no other takers of such a challenge among mid- to high-end device manufacturers, we all would probably have settled for e2e just never being a feature of commonly available cloud services. I wonder how successful the privacy-focused promotion had been for Apple; they seemed pretty OK making people want their devices for all the other reasons.
OpenAI Sold its Soul for $1B
Note for readers like me inside the liberal media bubble: the Ivermectin craze isn't 100% nonsense where hillbillies take their horse medicine. As the article notes, it's been seriously studied in various countries and so far afaik hasn't been proved to not be effective.
> Fool me once, shame on you [Tuskegee]

I am so tired of seeing Tuskegee trotted out as an argument by anti vaxxers.

The Tuskegee experiment specifically targeted a selected group of African Americans and was an overtly racist program. COVID vaccines on the other hand are not targeting a specific sample group, they are being given to virtually everyone. There's no sample group. The two are not remotely comparable.
> It's a business, they can refuse who ever they want (same as the cake business).

No they can't. There are plenty of restrictions on denying service. An obvious example: you can't refuse to serve people based on their race. And since the door is open on disallowing such, a lot of other arguments are made and will be made in regards to who it's ok to not serve. Which is what's going on here with regards to GoDaddy's actions. Since the US is rapidly shifting to a hyper tribal, protected classes system of rule of law (different laws for different people), you can expect the rules/laws pertaining to situations like this in business to get more complex over time.
The notion that little kids can mimic this symptom set with coordinated precision and not look like a bunch of little kids poorly trying to do the same - this seems unrealistic.
Storytelling is the only way to argue any point, it’s just about what order you present facts in and what you include or choose to lie about.
> You can't say vaccine hesitancy hasn't been well earned.

Sure you can. People spend their entire lives studying this shit, dedicating their entire careers to saving people who sit on facebook all day and post nonsense they hear on podcasts and other credit-less sources.

It's not "vaccine hesitancy". It's stupidity.

Domain experts know more than your conspiracy-theorist crazy Facebook aunt. There is no conspiracy here. It doesn't benefit big pharma by giving it out for free, essentially. There are a handful of other pharmas that did want to rush the vaccine and as a result did not make it to manufacturing because they didn't pass the regulatory process.

So no, vaccine "hesitancy" has not been "well earned".
If this is for personal use, you could always ignore the ToS. It's not like they have copyright on the output. All openai can do is ban your account.
You mean the cup-holder? They were just being helpful.
And ventilation, apparently. I was told [0] that it had been designed with open spaces in mind. And when research groups decided they didn't like people walking through spaces where people are working (esp working on hardware) and put up partitions and doors, that messed up the air circulation. Also, and somewhat ironically, I was told that despite the open design, people were runnning into each other less often than in the old Tech Sq building (with its much smaller lobby), missing out on serendipitous interactions.

Pragmatically, though, AOSP isn't relevant to the conversation. OP was comparing the popular smartphone ecosystems that most people are using, and that basically means the Apple phones and the phones which are running with Google's services.

Very few people are actually running AOSP -- they're running Android builds from Samsung or Google which add a lot of binary blobs into the system.

Telling people "you could have a more secure phone if you strip out most of the systems that the apps you use your phone for rely on" isn't very helpful.
It’s not the method, it’s that the government lied about medicine before. No reason they can’t do it again.
From I first encountered rules surrounding this, it has always been seen as a workaround to create the incentives to change sexism elsewhere.

E.g if boards are required to put women in place, it creates an organizational incentive to improve the conditions so more women gets the training and promotions and mentoring that makes then suitable for those board positions, and also takes away an ability to avoid hiring qualified women.

I don't know if anyone that see those rules as desirable in and of themselves.
I feel like this is a very "engineer" response that completely ignores how society in general would view this.

Yes, humans are primates. But this wasn't a discussion about taxonomy in biology class. There are lots of cases where primates is used in everyday language where it is clearly intended to refer solely to monkeys and apes. When I go to the "primate house" at the zoo I'm not going to expect to see naked humans behind the glass.
I see all comments here and I’m wondering if anybody actually read TFA.

This is NOT a drop-in replacement on Mac, very far from it.

No volumes mount from the host, no auto port forward, complications when building images, bugs where the socket isn’t cleared etc.

They will get there eventually but this is way over hyped for a sensible replacement for docker on Mac.
Maybe the AI was right and referring to the police behavior as "primates".
We all know how chimps can behave towards other chimps from another population. We humans are not much different.
I think the kidney example is a little too technical for a good metaphor.

A parent does have an obligation to feed and keep healthy a child that cannot care for itself. There is such a concept as criminal negligence. For example, parents have been charged with manslaughter after they provided an insufficient diet for their child. [0]

> why should the mother have a legal obligation to keep it in her body?

I'm not sure that she does. She could theoretically take it out and raise it outside of her, but that would be quite bizarre and greatly increases the risk of criminal negligence and improper care. Babies are forced out early all the time, when the doctors recommend it if the baby is late.

A sundial uses more than just angular rotation and orbits, though. You can't measure time with angular rotation alone. Using a sundial as a clock (by registering its cycles or by looking at it and remembering how many cycles it went through) inevitably increases the system's entropy.

You don't need a second repeating phenomenon, just as you don't need a second pendulum in the pendulum clock. The pendulum might repeat its motion at a short interval, but is able to measure intervals longer than its period.

If you have a sundial that works without increasing entropy, it doesn't work as a clock. Just as a perpetual motion pendulum alone wouldn't work as a clock. Using other orbits doesn't change that. You need the entropic flow to register the passage of time. In the case of the sundial, it can be done by recording its cycles.

A sundial on a rotating planet isn't able to measure time within its cycle without increasing entropy any more than a pendulum is able to measure time within its period without increasing entropy. They're not able to do that. A Sundial without light and a recording device isn't a clock, just as a lone pendulum with no energy losses and no recording device isn't a clock.
How is this even a thing? Why does this have to be pointed out?

I've been convinced that the world is beyond parody for years now. And yet it keeps on giving.
Of course it is. The media is the enemy and they always will be.

The FDA would be making a very reasonable point about Ivermectin if they weren't the barrier in place preventing people from acquiring the version of the product meant for humans in the first place. They can't just block people from acquiring normal human doses and then smugly decry people trying to acquire it through other means.

There should be much stronger "Right To Try" provisions in medicine to allow people the right to try drugs to cure them of disease and for society to gain information on its effectiveness. My Body, My Choice.

This is a simple risk-management decision. Ivermectin is cheap and safe in human sized doses.

If Ivermectin doesn't work: that would suck, but we'd at least eliminate one potential cure and can try other things.

If Ivermectin does work: great, that means this thing would be over.

What the hell do we have to lose other billions in Big Pharma profits?

> The real tragedy in all of this is that these idiots are killing innocent people by overwhelming hospital resources.

Which is it this week: are hospitals bursting at the seams with Covid patients or Ivermectin overdoses? I can't remember anymore, not that I see any flooded hospitals anyway.
I'm a little bit confused. At first you talked about "dating" someone, now you're talking about starting a family. These seem to be different, not necessarily mutually exclusive, but not necessarily identical, goals. Can you explain?

It needs to be stated that violence is not an option because many times violence has been used against trans women and the defense of the perpetrator was "I didn't know she was trans".
Another fact along those lines, government spending per capita in the US is on par with European nations. We just receive vastly less services for the same and often more money.
It's like when the CDC first said that masks are ineffective to try to keep people from hoarding them. People are wise to the game now, and expect that the CDC is saying things to influence behavior, rather than because they are true. Nobody trusts a salesman.
I wish there was an option for dark mode or something.
Does anyone else remember EA's "Majestic"? Whatever happened to these types of games?
It would not be feasible to figure that out for each and every person, so the only practical way is to break the audience into various groups that advertisers pay to reach.

Theoretically, you could break down these groups and offer no ads, then some ads, then some more ads, etc, but the more complicated you make it, the more people you turn away at the same time.

Hence the most optimal solution for the seller is to sell a product/service to both customers and advertisers. However, technology gives sellers better opportunity to group people in various tranches and sell differently, so maybe we will see a more accurate price point develop.
This might be true of great apes, but of primates in general, no. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaque and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capuchin_monkey, for instance.
Ask HN: Anyone attend “Paid Focus Group on [x technology]” what happened?
I've recently gotten a number of unsolicited emails like:

Our client is looking to speak with multiple participants such as IT Operations Specialists (ITOPs) and Developers who have experience with and deep knowledge of a) Ubuntu Server and/or Red Hat Enterprise Linux(RHEL), and the ability to discuss the benefits of Linux OS support contracts, b) Linux container strategies/technologies in use in their organizations, and c) Linux workload development and/or deployments on the public cloud. The goal of the focus group discussion is to gain insights about the Linux Operating System market and how its customers think about paid support from Linux Providers.

This is a paid 2-hr focus group discussion for $350. I found you on LinkedIn and I think your profile is a good fit for this project. This is a research study and not a sales solicitation. Please note we are only interested in your point of view and are not seeking confidential information.

---------------------------

Anyone else get these emails? What happens if you do one? Is it a stealth sales call as I suspect? What is the process, and who is getting what out of it?
≥In what way is an anti-parasitic drug supposed to help a viral lung infection?

While I have no interest in making a case for ivermectin and covid, you might be interested in the vast, highly relevant field of repurposed drugs. A fair example might be salicylanilides, eg niclosamide - a drug pretty exclusively used for a particular tapeworm, but being repurposed for incurable gonorrhea, c-dif, h-pylori and other conditions.

*Edited for shitpad typos
There was also a video of an altercation between black and white people, and the prompt still enquired if it should save the video under "Primates" category.

The title has obviously been editorialized for outrage.
I find that very difficult to believe, as it’s very illegal to ask about disabilities during hiring. VMware as a large company with many lawyers and hr people would of course know the rules so I’d be shocked if this story is true.
It has human DNA unique from the mother and, in this case, an independent heartbeat. To the minds of the people supporting this law, that makes it alive, with its own rights independent of the mother's.

Their argument, as such, is that it isnt a matter of reproductive healthcare at all, but murder. I know of a few states that would file multiple murder charges in the case of killing a pregnant woman, for example.

All the comparisons to a handmaidens tale, yelling about womens rights and reporductive health will never change their mind... No different than the accusations of Larry Elder being a white supremacist.
I think it's possible that ivermectin could have positive effect (less hospitalizations) on people with parasites who contracted Covid-19.

After-all a lot of people die not from Covid-19 but from complications from it.

I think the main issue with it's use is, similar to antibiotic resistance, (note that it's not antibiotic or antiviral) overuse will lessen it's effectiveness when needed the most.
As far as I can tell though the problem isn't that Cantonese isn't the primary language taught in Chinese schools, it's that it's not taught at all.

Being part of a recognized language minority in Europe usually gives you the right to education in that language.
Doctors are saying they've never heard of or treated ivm poisoning. This is propaganda lies because ivm doesn't need tyranny or segregation and it's cheap. Only pieces of shit support segregation at least we can all agree on that part.
Encryption at rest is easy, but E2EE isn’t on the table simply because they don’t trust people to keep secure backups of their own private keys. Thus Apple needs a way in, and if Apple has a way in they are required to let the FBI in.

As to scanning on device, that’s not what is involved in the child porn system as the list it’s being compared to is kept secret. So inherently the system requires an upload of each image for comparison. Further, it also needs to actually upload an image for comparison not just a hash.
Perhaps they don't even see a doctor, at least not in the official manner. I know of people who consult medical practitioners in a "black market" fashion because it's so much cheaper (and in some ways more convenient) than the proper medical-industrial-complex way.
