They're saying the upfront costs of healthcare put poor people off going to the doctor at all and leads to distrust of doctors as just being in it for the money. At least that's the way I read it.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding is that Docker is only charging for Docker Desktop, which is a GUI and management tool required to use Docker on Windows and MacOS - both of which are not supported by Podman. And Docker Desktop is not required (or even available) on Linux - the only platform Podman supports.
I worked with a guy who wrote a CPU simulator and exceeded the MSVC 256-char function name limit. It's hard when you like 80/100 col code and a function name is longer than that.
I'm wondering why the woke movement prefers to classify the people by race instead of wealth. Wealth is a much better indicator of systems of power.
The EFF's goal is to get donations. Hence why they've lied about the system since the beginning to stoke outrage.
But an AI image recognition system is a very "engineer" kind of thing.
We have universal national healthcare here, and people still take ivermectin because (someone on) Facebook told them to. Before that it was Hydroxychloroquine including one major newspaper running articles on how it helps with COVID (which not only it doesn't but it is illegal to run advertisements on pharmaceuticals around here).

So I dunno if US medical system has much to do with it. It seems more like someone weaponized Facebook and other social media to get gullible people to commit mass murder-suicide by refusing vaccinations, masks and taking poison.

Or it's an emergent phenomenon with no master behind it, who knows.
> Other than my agreeing with the moral position in this case, how is this different than a baker not making a cake for some particular customer?

You can refuse service to someone because you don't like the color of their shirt, but it's illegal to refuse service to someone belonging to a protected class because they belong to a protected class.

"Abortion reporting form operators" are not a protected class, and they aren't being denied service because they belong to a protected class.
What kind of backlash do you want to see? If we're talking about arguing with idiots on twitter 24/7 then I don't think most people are prepared to do that.

And why does there need to be a "backlash" even? Do we absolutely need to have a big old culture war everytime somebody says something stupid?
I think you're missing the point a bit, but I understand why one would. The point of asking everyone to label their pronouns isn't some sense of hollow solidarity for trans people, it's so that trans people can be given the decency and space to label their pronouns in a way that isn't ostracizing and isolating.

Yes, you don't care what pronouns people use for you. You're privileged in that you've never struggled with gender and gender identity in a society that shames and ridicules you for it. Giving people space to be themselves (in a very basic human-rights sort of way) shouldn't be narrowly dismissed as stupid and "a big deal to some people".
Try paying attention to how a teenage person unconsciously mimics small components of the behavior of a parent or a person they (again, possibly unconsciously) consider of importance. Things like a bad habit, such as smoking (including the finer mechanical details of the process); accent/[mis]pronunciations; usage of idiomatic words or phrases; motions when driving a car; etc. tend to look/sound extremely natural.
I agree that some comments in the first example are unnecessary, e.g. the one pointed out in [0], but I find comments like that at worst useless, but not harmful. They have a potential to become harmful if someone updates the code but doesn't bother to update the comment, but I can't see how it takes away the ability to scan the code.

I love how they forgot about hydroxychloroquine. Wasn’t that one supposed to be the silver bullet that big pharma was hiding?
citation, please.
Also, from the Mississippi health alert they cited (https://msdh.ms.gov/msdhsite/_static/resources/15400.pdf):

> No hospitalizations due to ivermectin toxicity have been directly reported to the Mississippi Poison Control Center or the Mississippi State Department of Health.

So much for emergency rooms being flooded I guess? This topic really just seems like a way to stereotype and mock rural Americans under the guise of concern. A handful of people with mild symptoms calling poison control really doesn't seem newsworthy without that angle.
Separating technical issues from social ones is the source of the problem. I don't think it'll be the source of the solution.

One of the big issues with relying on AI is training data, and the responsibility for an inadequately trained AI model falls on the people who judged it ready for use, but that doesn't mean the outcome of the AI isn't racist. An AI doesn't need to know the sociopolitical history of race to be doing racist things.

Also, I've never heard of a location with Roman numerals in the name. I agree that programming in the context of knowing who Malcolm X is into a map program might be asking a bit much, but I think an "easier" implementation (reading them as letters) would have also done the right thing.
What does typography have to do with the web? There seems to be nothing here of value that is based on evidence about the readability of text. Especially in today's era where the medium is not fixed, it makes zero sense to treat the web as

I was gonna write "monkey-blackppl-differentiation", but decided it was too offensive and aimed for more neutral language, thinking for anybody who doesn't want to be an asshole it's clear what it's about.
I'd like to see what such an approach produces. I think apart from classic tabboo words you'd get stuff like "ur mom" and "no fair, aimbotter".
The one that Americans would have access to for self treating COVID would be the horse variety unless they found doctors to prescribe them some.
Voluntary slavery here, means that the ultimate control of your own life includes the right to give it away, sell it, or end it.

It does not mean chattel slavery, or involuntary servitude, or even involuntary government seizures.
thats a really weird way of saying "hasn't proven to be effective"
Do you have an example using a version of NeuralHash from less than 9 months ago?
The announcement is for people with basic reasoning skills, not for those that take drugs based on Facebook posts. Ivermectin, like many drugs, is used for various things. COVID is not one of them, and those pushing it have no expertise to understand the medical studies, nor are they interested in doing a comprehensive evaluation. Yet again, actual experts aren't on the playing field, it's talking heads and hired degrees.
The main responsibility for the overdoses falls with the FDA and AMA, which are actively discouraging physicians from prescribing ivermectin off-label and pharmacies from filling those prescriptions.
The website is run by a private entity, not an arm of the government.
I was in the same boat, as a Mac user. The thing you need to understand is that the beauty is not in the visual aesthetics of the GUI, but in other things.

‘It’s not how it looks like, it’s good it works’ is the phrase we believe Steve Jobs kept saying. Well, here it is. Linux is very ugly from the beautiful UI standpoint. But at some point you may realize you just don’t need any interface, and that’s where the beauty starts.
Thank you for clarify your position. Even though I replied to your comment, it wasn't an attack on you personally. Sorry if you took it that way. More of a cultural comment and society at large.
What part of “the parent comment has changed” did you not understand?
Also hasn’t been proven to be not effective. Half empty or half full?
That really is mischievous, as a kid I'd play around on the schools computers which I felt were fair ground, though the headmaster would probably disagree. The only time I was really confronted was when I was warcycling around town, found an open WLAN and just browsed for a little while, and then the owner of the house came out and chased me away haha.

I'd often read phrack even though I didn't really understand programming yet, but there was this one issue that detailed how to trick a bottle recycling machine into giving you unlimited receipts, my local supermarket had the exact machine and I was thinking about doing it to see if it would work, but chickened out because I realized I'd actually be stealing from the owner of the supermarket who everyone in the town was on first name basis with. I always believed everything in the digital was sort of fair play and was really shocked when people started going to jail even for the dumbest thing like grey hat url injection.
Honest question regarding the data on ivmmeta.com: I had heard that there was some pre-existing fraud in some Ivermectin studies. I don't know how true that is. Is it true? And if so, does this website account for that by withholding those ones?
I think this will ultimately be Wokeness downfall. The woke turn on themselves for perceived lack of purity to the cause almost as quickly as their adversaries. look at far left movements of the past for example, the french revolution started beheading people that had been for the revolution because they weren't revolutionary enough.
Was it the author's intention to sound like an enraged 10 year old on xbox live?
Earth’s inner core is growing unevenly. Why isn’t the planet tipping?
Ivmmeta is pseudoscientific. It should not be taken seriously by anyone. See a short analysis e.g. at https://mobile.twitter.com/gidmk/status/1422044335076306947.
Runaway sexual selection effects generally don't result in beneficial traits; reduced melanin is beneficial in less sunny climates, because cholecalciferol (so-called “Vitamin D₃”, even though it's not a vitamin) synthesis requires sun exposure.

And yes, having less of something is correctly called “losing” it in the English language. That was not a correction.
Ivermectin is being prescribed off-label for Covid-19 by tens of thousands of doctors nationwide. Are those "people with no expertise to understand the medical studies"?
Let's hear more about your threat model that causes you to wory about nefarious content being injected into a blog post about comments in code
What kind of reasoning is this? Even if the government had not lied about medicine, or any other topic before, there is equally "no reason" that they couldn't lie going forward about anything and everything. Everyone and anyone could lie to you at any given moment. What's your point? How do you go on living your life?
The interesting story in Germany is, there are two groups of Vietnamese.

In the west there is a community of Vietnamese who fled the communists as boat people after the fall of Saigon.

In the east there is a community of Vietnamese who came from communist Vietnam to work in the GDR.

You are misunderstanding the Texas law. There is intentionally not a criminal statute being violated because Texas does not want the law to be overturned in court.

> the core value of libertarianism is that the strong will dominate the weak, meaning a pure libertarian society would feature widespread slavery as a primary feature.

No it’s not, it’s freedom from being coerced into doing things. Quite literally the opposite of slavery.
And from what a doctor told me most of those studies refuse to recall themselves after purposefully and heavily weighting a study that has been recalled for blatantly falsifying data and lying about the math.

Additionally horse ivermectin is a big part of the problem. People are literally going to vets and getting horse ivermectin and taking it. So it isn’t the media that is conflating them. At least not the so called “leftist media”. It is idiots who insist on lying about its effectiveness.
> it's been seriously studied in various countries and so far afaik hasn't been proved to not be effective.

It also hasn't been proven to be effective.

Edit: to further show why this is a ridiculous approach towards using something that is unproven to treat a disease: cat urine has also not been proven to not be an effective Covid treatment.
Another ESL speaker here. To me they are pronounced exactly the same. The best way I can describe how I pronounce it to you is "loose" :)
Do you know all the ways your TV is reporting your viewing history? Did you know it can also report your over the air viewing as well as what you play on your DVD player? Do they use the built-in microphone to listen for keywords?

What about your smart refrigerator - you might expect it to report refrigerator data (temperature, door openings,etc), but would you be surprised if it's also reporting your bedtime, wake up time, and when you're on vacation?

Do you know how long the cell phone company retains your location data, or what they do with it? Do most people even know the cell phone company tracks their location?

Many appliances spy on us in ways we don't know.
> It's like when the CDC first said that masks are ineffective to try to keep people from hoarding them.

The way I remember it was more like, the CDC said:

- They don't know yet if surgical (and in general, non-N95) masks are effective against COVID-19 spread. They never denied this for N95.

- Hospitals are running out of surgical (and N95...) masks, and given the above, people should stop hoarding them.

That seemed... pretty reasonable to me?

In fact here's a link [1] where Fauci literally said:

> When we get in a situation when we have enough masks, there will be serious consideration about more broadening this recommendation of using masks.

People are literally buying horse paste and eating it.
We shouldn’t feel obliged to correct the misinformation of mainstream propaganda.

If you are dumb and arrogant enough to believe that people are dumb enough to stick an ivermectin dispenser designed for horses in human mouths, you deserve to live in the private psychological hell you’ve created for yourself.
Ivermectin is owned by big pharma (merck).

https://www.merck.com/news/merck-statement-on-ivermectin-use...

“No scientific basis for a potential therapeutic effect against COVID-19 from pre-clinical studies;
No meaningful evidence for clinical activity or clinical efficacy in patients with COVID-19 disease, and;
A concerning lack of safety data in the majority of studies.” - merek
Let's suppose ivermectin has a weak positive effect. I am fine with the possibility. My doctor believed in that, he prescribed it, me and my family took it (my kid would take it anyway for other reasons).

The big problem (in Brazil at least) is, the bozo president and his entourage elected this medicine as a silver bullet, saying that we didn't need vaccines, didn't need any social isolation (let alone lockdowns), etc.

These bozos created a false dichotomy: one thing is to take a chance and swallow some medicine as last-ditch attempt when you have no other known option. They use this reasoning to say nothing else was needed.
It actually is obvious and easy. Plenty of people were against these tests back in the day as well. You should not roll dice with humanity.

It's probably better to link the developer's original page about this rather than a news article about it: https://www.arctic81.com/
I wouldn't. Arguing with a Nihilist is like arguing with a flat earther - they are so disconnected from reality it doesn't make sense.
Yes, there are plenty of shitty incompetent doctors like there are with any other profession. Did these same doctors not contribute to the opioid crisis? Can every programmer understand every whitepaper and implement what they read?
I think the point was that those who can afford it can see better doctors, particularly those who are less likely to be swayed by pharmaceutical company incentives. Case in point would be, when you were poor did you go to the same doctor in the same neighborhood now that you are rich?

Kind of like those who can afford them can receive better lawyers than overworked public defenders.
No one is saying that, yes it’s hilarious to watch people take the horse version. And we absolutely should
Make fun of them. But just like I’m not using a leg splint to treat cancer, ivermectin doesn’t treat a virus. It’s not the “liberal” media it’s science dumbass.
But people are self medicating with horse paste. That’s a big part of the problem, the dosage is horse sized.
> I know of people who consult medical practitioners in a "black market" fashion because it's so much cheaper

How does this work?
Nice idea, but I generally was happy if it was only 5 days a week; often I went months with 6 or 7 days. How would you do coding with insane deadlines, insufficient people, terrible management, and constant changes (with no change in dates) in only 4 days?
I don't think anyone's saying they shouldn't stop. That's not the point the person you're replying to is making.
Is Alexa really spying on me? What’s the concern here?
The problem is people using it off label, in dangerous quantities, INSTEAD of taking the vaccine.

Why would it matter if the medical community thinks ivermectin is safe or not, if the people making this choice don’t trust medical science enough to take the vaccine.

The dril tweet applies nearly equally to your response as it did when I first linked it.

You're incorrect about right and wrong changing over time. Even with that information though, it doesn't matter for what I said to still be correct both CURRENTLY (which fits your incorrect ideas of morality) and more broadly.
I strongly support abortion but this is the dumbest argument there is. You're just perscribing new meanings to the words alive and life that almost nobody shares with the subset of people who do this, which by the way excludes biologists. Abortions kill living human animals and there are many good reasons why abortions are justified, but not being alive isn't one of them. Everything that applies to a fetus also applies to a coma patient dependent on life support. If you want arguments that don't suck then look at bodily autonomy, health (including mental), self-defense, etc. instead of attempting to water down concepts to support your position. Seriously fallacious, sad to see it's so popular.
I haven’t read any detailed piece on the SCOTUS decision, but I think a big part in why the law is allowed to go ahead for now is that it is:

- a civil statute, not criminal

- reported/enforced by private individuals/entities, not the state government

I suspect the law was crafted specifically to deny the possibility for the government to operate such a site, and that this was the “one weird trick” used to get around the Roe precedent, at least for 5 of the justices. I’m not totally confident in that, so I’d appreciate learning if I’m wrong.
Here in Canada, the payment is by the Ontario Health plan. I pay nothing except for a small list of meds, like colchicine.
This is an excellent system, conditions that need immediate attention are seen immediately, and treatment is fast. Elective procedures, like knees worn out take more time. Bad knee from car crash immediate system.
There is a steady loss of doctors to the USA, but the documentary process with a huge number of providers has led to fee based invoice creators, and there are fee based invoice deniers that make doctors wait long periods to be paid, and if they are denied = round again.
We now get as many doctors leaving as entering as the process can eat up half the doctor's time. Ask any US doctor about this process...
This isn’t the government; it’s some private organisation.
people are primates is proven whereas women are objects is unproven. So your analogy doesn't work.
I'm pro-choice, but I imagine that a lot of pro lifers would be less horrified by abortion if that were the case. My point is that the body autonomy argument is in bad faith and simply meant to spread propaganda that conservatives are misogynists. Given the violent nature of abortion, one can only conclude that people think it's ethical because they don't consider the fetus a human life.
Who could have hired them for Ivermectin?

I don't get it. What are our ya yas? In what way is injuring or killing a person cathartic?
Good point. Also the phrases in the initial comment "token bucket capacity" and "refill time" may serve as hints and can be used as entry points to searching external documentation.
Infanticide was also common during these times. So I am not sure that acceptance of abortion stemmed from any concern for women rights…

Also, for those that are prescribing it, this is not an FDA approved treatment for Covid.
We can see from this and other examples how the CDC lying to the public has backfired immensely.

Not that the CDC is incentivized much to care. The bigger the crisis the bigger the funding.
clearly the latter, haha
I just found out about Docker's rootless mode in an HN thread the other day. The docs make it seem simple, with few meaningful limitations. Really interested to hear some more about the additional setup you needed to do, and what behavioural differences you've encountered?
If, like European me, you're wondering how in the nine hells of Baator the US ended up in a situation whereby what a doctor prescribes has somehow become political, I found this primer (on Twitter) by the US Journalist Ben Collins to be highly informative:

I'm a trans woman. What evidence is that you are citing?
This. You can't buy Ivermectin off the shelf except in animal preparations.
The last study I saw seemed to imply that cloth masks have a very tiny effect, if any, but surgical masks are pretty good.

The problem is that the media doesn't do nuance, they write big bold headlines that are outrage bait to drive engagement. And more than a few people never read anything but the headline.

At this point, I feel like headlines themselves are harmful.

I don't have a conviction.

When I said I wasn't convinced, that wasn't a cheeky way of saying I was convinced of the opposite.
