Does this count as uncontrovertibly false? It was good enough for convictions.

"OxyContin is a Schedule II prescription pain relief medication, classified as having the highest potential for abuse of legally available drugs. The Purdue Frederick Company, Inc., and the three executives have admitted that Purdue fraudulently marketed OxyContin by falsely claiming that OxyContin was less addictive, less subject to abuse, and less likely to cause withdrawal symptoms than other pain medications when there was no medical research to support these claims and without Food and Drug Administration approval of these claims."

I taught a 5 year old that 1 + 1 = 10, and they got in trouble at school for arguing with the teacher. Even after explaining that 1 + 1 = 10 in binary specifically, as the teacher was complaining to the parents "whatever that means". The parents asked me to be more careful with my "teaching".
> Which are generated from files.

No they are not.

>>> This isn’t true. But even if it were, I doubt you’d convince rektide that this would meet his definition of ‘files’.

>> You are correct here, but every web page is generated from a file or bunch of files.

This is simply untrue. Hacker News for example is made of web pages which are not generated from a file or bunch of files.

> And there is still static websites.

So what? Nobody said that no websites are based on files. Only that most web pages are not.
It is not "masks → -11%" as you seem to be reading it: it's -11% after a +30% compliance.

More compliance, much increased results than that 11%.

Indeed it would, but I think getting a large-scale trial with a sufficiently high compliance rate would be a challenge, to say the least.

Author here. I totally agree with you. We are currently using JIRA at Aptible and the general consensus is to use it as little as possible. I'd much rather have a system that is streamlined around delegating tasks to teammates and then a playground for the independent contributors to figure out how they want to break the tasks down.

I'm definitely keeping your feedback in mind if I continue to build this prototype out. If you'd like to receive updates about my progress, signup with your email at the bottom of the blog article.

As a longtime iOS engineer trying to prototype something on Windows, I did not realize how good I've had it while working with UIKit.

That's the dilemma of the drug war, isn't it? It is not exactly going to become easier over time to keep street drugs out of the hands of people who really want them. We can let people ruin their own lives through addiction and self-harm... or we can ruin their lives for them by throwing (some of) them in prison.

I prefer the first strategy, but it sounds like you prefer the second. It sounds like a false dichotomy, but it really isn't. No one has come up with any other solutions that scale. Supervised usage is probably the only workable compromise in the long run.

Besides this, the phenotype that academia reveres is a particular type of low-level bureaucrat that works by quantity, not quality.

For example, I'm in academia, but I prefer to solve interesting problems and create new things of high quality. I have never had to retract a paper, nor has anyone found a mistake in my work. I don't supervise more than one or two students at a time, because I want to be able to devote time to them. People like me languish and do not get promoted to tenure.

I have colleagues who pride themselves on how many e-mails they answer a day and recruit large labs of grad students who download neural net codes, tweak and publish. They talk of "least publishable units, or LPUs" and are always submitting and chairing ... submitting grants, submitting papers, chairing committees, etc. They get tenure very quickly and make a lot more money than I do. But they aren't scientists, they are bureaucrats who send emails. They decide what science is done, because they chair funding committees, so we get boring, incremental science that is stuck in local minima.
Exactly. I’ve been dodging management positions for the last 21 of 23 years. I’ve had to leave two companies to do so.
Was Perdue actually convincing doctors Oxy isn't addictive or dangerous? Most of the documentaries I have watched about the Opioid Crisis and Perdue fairly clearly lay out that Doctors are not as innocent as "being convinced". They were being paid to look the other way.

Presence does not mean campaign. I think people had some unrealistic expectations for the vaccines, partly from poor communication from leaders, maybe mostly from misunderstanding, and those expectations (realistic or not) are not being met.

I would claim that very few people understood that this was very likely permanent, when it started. Many people are now realizing this, and are afraid, angry, and confused.

I think if there's evidence of corruption in one, that's evidence of corruption in all. The entire area needs an independent investigation IMO. Unfortunately, California is still struggling with basic things like electricity, so that's unlikely to happen any time soon.

What's the certainty there? Could you expand?
1. The people that are in charge of making such decisions (scientists, politicians, etc) said you should (and in some cases must) wear a mask. They said that doing so is more for the protections of others, but it also helps the wearer.

2. The impact of wearing a mask, with the exception of a small subset of people, is negligible. At most, it's very slightly uncomfortable.

Given those two things, choosing _not_ to wear a mask makes you a bad person in the eyes of most people; and rightfully so. You are unwilling to put forth a minimal effort to help protect those around you.

And yes, if everyone sees you as a bad person because of your chosen actions, then you can expect to shun/comdemn/avoid you. That's how society works across the world.

Now that this study has come out, with actual numbers, hopefully the recommendations will change; or at least it will spur some research to try to confirm the lack of protection provided by cloth masks. Recommendations were made based on existing information. New information is added and recommendations/actions are taken based on that. That's how science is _supposed_ to work.
Do people really type like that normally? With emojis interspersed in the middle of sentences?
Let's not confuse changing behaviors with giving up.

I don't wear a mask outside anymore because the evidence I've seen seems to indicate that spread in outdoor settings for incidental encounters is extremely unlikely between vaccinated people, and a cloth mask is unlikely to make the difference.

Linux is finicky. I've tried to use and like Linux about every 2 years for the past 2 decades. Generally Ubuntu, and have experimented with Manjaro and Mint.

Most recently, the experience on a tablet I use primarily for writing involved laggy input, no good drawing software, and experimenting with custom kernels.

I'm suspicious the problem is rooted in 2 areas: design-by-committee, and messy dependency webs.
That's not the goal according to whom?

I think there's multiple sides of the argument that getting everyone off the streets is the goal:

From one angle, if someone's in such a bad state that they refuse shelter, is it really better from a "help them get back on their feet" to leave them there?

From another angle, we treat very few other civic obligations as "optional." If you don't want to pay sales tax, you still have to, for instance.

Arizona Vehicle Testing Site Rumored to Be Used by Apple Purchased for $125M
Another problem is how NIST should come up with standards. NIST is in charge of standards, but that means that they need to turn to subject matter experts for each separate field. They need to define the standards for everything from measuring weights, to chemicals in wastewater, to cryptography.

So then for each standard you then end up with the government equivalent of an open process where there are requests for comments, maybe a meeting or two to discuss, and trusted folks end up defining the bulk of the document with oversight from editors.

Where this breaks down is when you have the subject matter expert on crypto in government, the NSA, be interested in undermining the standards for their own specialty to serve their internal agenda.
Well it's not saying "nothing should be enforced ever because all enforcement is backed by violence", it is just acknowledging the reality of it and then determining if a particular rule justifies that, and then farther down, if a rule enforced by violence is unjust, determining whether the enforcing party is an enemy or not.

Generally libertarians only allow for rules against behaviors that violate the rights of others because of this, and I think that's about right.
That’s not the distinction I’m making: my CL workflow is to always start from a clean image that has been restored from source control (although, I think the ideal here is a system like Pharo that integrates VC into the image itself). What I mean is that Scheme users seem to have a workflow that’s more along the lines of what people do in Python, Ruby or JS, running the interpreter/compiler as a “batch” process whereas CL/Clojure/Smalltalk pursue a more interactive development experience.

> I don't think the term intelligence helps define the novel behavior of fungus in this article.

Maybe you are right, but I think humans are blind to any behavior that happens at a frequency either too low or too high.

If an organism responds too far out of our frequency band (on the order of hundreds of milliseconds), especially on the extreme low end, we seem unable to consider it 'intelligent' or even purposeful.

We barely even notice it and if any behaviour that unfolds over days seasons or even years.

It also doesn't help fungi that mycelial networks are almost all underground where they are literally invisible to us.

The Delta variant is more contagious so there is a higher rate of infections, but it's not a completely different virus. Symptoms in children are no more severe than with earlier variants.

"Among all hospitalized children and adolescents with COVID-19, the proportions with indicators of severe disease (such as intensive care unit [ICU] admission) after the Delta variant became predominant (June 20–July 31, 2021) were similar to those earlier in the pandemic (March 1, 2020–June 19, 2021)."

From the study:

>The intervention increased proper mask-wearing from 13.3% in control villages (N=806,547 observations) to 42.3% in treatment villages (N=797,715 observations)... Physical distancing increased from 24.1% in control villages to 29.2% in treatment villages

Mask wearing increased 218% while distancing increased by 21%. I agree this is not proof specifically about masks, the study is about specific public policy programs and not mask wearing in general, but it certainly seems like masks wearing is the biggest contributor to the reduction seen.

It's general to all vaccines, not specific to just COVID. The search term you want is "leaky vaccine".

Basically, when you have a treatment (a 'leaky vaccine') that prevents symptoms but not transmission, then the normal evolutionary constraint for a virus to become less-harmful (to maximize transmission) goes out the window - because anyone that's been vaccinated could just as easily carry a more-harmful version of the virus.

It doesn't always happen, and it's hard to predict when it will, but Marek's disease is an example of a worst-case scenario actually happening: when a leaky vaccine scenario allows the virus to mutate and become highly lethal.
