You are describing epidemiology, which is not an experimental science, because it does not have the luxury of independent variables.

And you are correct that it is weaker at establishing links than a controlled experiment. So it's mostly a resort for when an RCT is impractical or as a way to select which RCTs to pursue.
“ Clear evidence that one group differs from another doesn't provide any useful information for dealing with individuals “

This isn’t necessarily true.

For example, I know that two-year-olds are far more sensitive to missing naps then eight-year-olds are.

This changes how I structure time and environment around a two year old so that he is the statistically more likely to behave. If I don’t do that, I set them up for individual behavioral failures.

Scanlations are often viewed by fans as the only way to read comics that have not been licensed for release in their area. However, according to international copyright law, such as the Berne Convention, scanlations are illegal. [1]

This is a snippet about the Berne Convention:

The Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, usually known as the Berne Convention, is an international agreement governing copyright, which was first accepted in Berne, Switzerland, in 1886. The Berne Convention has 179 contracting parties, most of which are parties to the Paris Act of 1971.

The Berne Convention formally mandated several aspects of modern copyright law; it introduced the concept that a copyright exists the moment a work is "fixed", rather than requiring registration. It also enforces a requirement that countries recognize copyrights held by the citizens of all other parties to the convention. [2]

Well, it's the only way to run a trustless currency that has been tested at scale. I dislike energy waste as much as anyone else, but that's the current state of things. We will eventually move past this phase with PoS or something, but all the approaches are still in their infancy.

Why do they even go through this much trouble when they can just count votes such that Единая Россия comes out as a winner, like they did on every election I remember. They stuff ballots into boxes. They invalidate ballots with "wrong" votes. They just simply change the numbers in the protocols without anyone rechecking or recounting. Worst of all, the people who do it are usually school teachers, because polling stations are often in schools.

Yes, I'll go and vote anyway. No, this won't change the outcome, but at least I'll be able to tell myself that I did my part.
Thank you for the comments. I've only recently discovered both tools, and literally used them once each. Of the two `xq` was easier for my particular work case (parsing a Magento config) but I keep both tools in my virtual toolbox.

If you have any other suggestions for parsing XML for exploratory purposes I'm very happy to hear them.
Arguably win32 GUI or Cocoa are not "OS level" APIs; yes some aspects of them are invoked through syscall type interfaces (esp win32) but not consistently and the operating system itself is entirely usable without them. Especially Cocoa. You can boot a Mac into a BSD shell without ever running Finder and the GUI.

Writing into a framebuffer is arguably as much of an abstraction these days as many of these toolkits. In the modern world of GPUs and display controllers a framebuffer itself is already N levels away from the "physical" display hardware. We're not in VGA land anymore. Some aspects of the OS or the OS's interaction with the display driver may present something like a linear framebuffer to you, but underneath that is a world of GPU textures and buffers and display controller abstractions.

When I think of OS-level APIs I think of ioctl, mmap, file descriptors and sockets. I guess that's my Linux bias showing?
I definitely agree with this.

The rest of the UI looks really nice from the screenshots but the blocks of colours stood out to me too.

Not really; this kind of stuff has been around since early 90s, and especially prominent in local elections (where many voters are often not familiar with the candidates on the ballot).

Organized fraud is still as endemic as always, but it still needs to be whitewashed, so every little bit helps. Same reason why they herd people at workplaces to vote - a 100% fraudulent system would just conjure turnout from thin air as needed.
Lots of great stuff in here! Tried it out for a spin and it's very snappy, and I love all the mgmt features!

Two quick things:

1. I don't think there's gesture support for the mac touchpad or a ton of keybindings. Adding those would be great b/c I try to avoid the mouse :) and it's easier on Chrome for the moment.

2. Do you guys have some kind of social presence we can follow to track your progress ? Could def see myself buying this in the future. EDIT: Checked out your site again and saw your discord.
The more shocking takeaway for me is that ~1% of people under 45 have had a heart attack (cannabis use is a rounding error)! That's higher than I would have guessed.
> while most mammals are born with innate vocalization abilities, humans are not.

Maybe I'm not understanding the nuances of this statement, but in my experience, newborns of all origins have very similar vocalizations, and babies that can't speak yet say "ugh ugh" or similar guttural monosyllables.
No, they will falsify anyways. It's just them getting a complete reassurance that it's at least thrice rigged.

So, what is being falsified? Everything.

1. Public polls (including fake "independent" polling companies appearing out of nowhere just few months before the elections)

2. Exit polls

3. Debates (some times fake doppelganger opposition candidates are sent to debates instead of real ones!)

4. Media landscape (again, fake opposition floods the screen time)

5. Politics on the ground (fake protest leaders, informers, provocateurs, rabble rousers sent to party meetings, fake opposition canvassers)

6. Fake party politics (fake opposition parties, genuine opposition being infiltrated, and packed full of informers, saboteurs, and etc, recruitment of turncoats)

7. Fake voters (obvious cases of people hired to vote under others' IDs, but also faked voter registration, and tallies. That's how tiny villages near arctic circle suddenly get hundreds of thousands registered voters out of nowhere)

8. Fake ballots (no explanation needed, but this also includes 20000% turnouts in mail ballot, or voting in embassies abroad)

9. Fake census data (to gerrymander, to manipulate turnout numbers, and to avoid second rounds, or minimal turnout limits in regions)

10. Fake elections (some times they don't take place at all, and people come to face a closed door, or they take place, and then they claim that they didn't happen! And then, they throw away the ballots.)

11. Fake ballot counting (well, it's the most conventional faking, but even there, there is an "innovation" — fake electoral commissions. A real one given a boot under gunpoint, and fake one comes, and stages everything.)

12. Media coverage of elections (the famous 146% Putin victory in Rostov)

13. Court system (a court claims to issue a fake recount order, but actually not issuing any orders, or a fake opposition candidate claiming to sue the incumbent candidate, or electoral comission, while not really doing so, or just blatantly claiming, that the white is black, and the ballot count was fair.)

14. Fake post-election protests (to steer people away from real ones)

15. Fake statistics (when the dust settles, alleged math geniuses, and statistics PhDs are invited to draw digits, and explain how a 146% vote victory is statistically possible)

A few percents of Russia's population are employed every 4 years in this circus, just like during USSR's CPSU elections where election fakers were indoctrinated into "a deep sense of higher purpose" doing so. Small people are comforted by letting them feel themselves being "big men," and "doing stuff big boys do," if just for a few days, and at the expense of the rest of country's population.

The more important distinction it seems is how much of your sales is marginal profit, how your revenue scales, and the growth potential.

If you have very high fixed costs, but the profit from each additional subscription is ~90%, and you have a clear path to growth - your future profits could be ridiculous.

Netflix is selling non-durable goods with insane marginal profits. In this way, it isn't much different than a software company - like Microsoft in the 90s.

The distinction between whether you are selling software or NFTs, streaming videos, or ads seems less relevant.
For a Lisp Machine the operating system was written in the language itself, this included a network stack and the filesystem interface for local disks.

Does that imply you cannot use this for a firewall solution? If it's a totally separate switch, wouldn't you be better off with a RPi and a cheap switch?
I think that the switching costs between a monarchy and a republic are much higher than the switching costs between Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Monarchs and currency regulators and social networks and operating systems tend to get away with as much mismanagement as their monopolies allow.
Yeah, a lot of studies seem to report on average income of graduates with various degrees compared to those who didn't finish university, but don't account for socioeconomic status.

I'd be curious what the numbers looked like when controlling for all the other variables which influence someone's income.

The thing is, trust isn't universal.

Do I trust CEOs to run businesses? Yes (at least, more than I trust either the government or the media).

Do I trust CEOs to tell me whether the media is trustworthy? Very much no. (What reason would I have to trust them on such a topic? None.)
In that case lets apply your principal evenly to all rights.

Freedom of movement: heading somewhere we don’t agree with, ok but you aren’t allowed to use public roads since we own those. Good luck getting to the voting station.

Freedom of assembly: we don’t support your protests cause, stay off public property, go hold your protest at your own house.

Freedom of conscience: fine think whatever you want but if you attempt to record it in any way we’ll block you.

A right without the means to act on it is nothing at all. You’re arguing for a society built like a prison. You should be ashamed.

We should have had these kinds of studies nearly 100 years ago, but the Reefer Madness era bans stunted our science based knowledge of the plant. Within just a short time frame of the rules being relaxed, we've learned how to extract so many different compounds from this one plant from CBD, CBG, CBN, Delta-8, Delta-9, Delta-10, etc. We now know which compounds get you high, and which ones can be used without fear of testing positive.

There seems to be a mad rush on people being able to do research and be first to publish, so I'd expect some results to be questionable. However, isn't that exactly how it is supposed to work? Do a test, release the results, others verify/validate. If something comes up questionable, refine the test, release the results, verify/validate again.
You are correct that 1v1 is easier than multi-player.
Having used Paramount+ recently, it has really made me appreciate Netflix as a tech company, in addition to their FOSS contributions and other innovations. I think it's silly to say that only a company that directly sells tech (whether that be software or hardware) is a tech company.

I use "more primitive" based on the assumption that less focused development has gone into the technology for organic farming than chemical farming but if the word provides a negative connotation then, well, that's not what I mean.

One of the things I wanted to chime in with, somewhere in the discussion, was that this is the sort of policy which pushes people to develop technologies and that perhaps if deployed more slowly it might have driven innovation in organic farming.

Something like a pilot scheme + opt in + subsidies.
If I were United Russia I’d make sure there were no party names or logos on the ballots. Also randomize the order of candidates between ballots so word couldn’t get out saying “it’s the middle Boris”.
From this perspective it makes sense why Chromebooks are doing so well, especially among general computer users.
algorand is proof of stake and is still essentially centralized. they've created and gifted coins to themselves since the start (the early distribution was awful). imo PoS is only viable and "fair" if its bootstrapped by PoW. need to put something in to get something out, at least until there are a lot of stakeholders.
I think the broader point is that this term is getting less and less relevant in general. It would be like if you defined any company that transported goods by rail a “train company”. It would have seemed relevant as a classification when trains were novel, but once it becomes the norm that ceases to be the most relevant characteristic.

Everyone likes to say that but as a cannabis user for 20+ years, most cannabis does raise HR when it "hits." It also can cause anxiety. Those two things combined can make HR even higher through a feedback loop. But it's disingenuous to think it doesn't raise HR in higher doses - that it's just an anxiety issue. Indica or sativa, they both cause a HR increase during intake. In my experience, it can taper off and one still remains high. But other times, the effect can last a while and the anxiety can turn into a full blown panic attack.

Imagine the scenario where someone legitimately has a HR of 150 from Cannabis. They have anxiety about their heart rate and possibly dying, and their friend OP keeps insisting that they just need to "calm down and be cool" because this is "all in your head." That's what ignorant friends are for :-)

"One of the most consistent effects of cannabis smoking on heart is 20% to 100% increase in HR which can last up to 2–3 hours, often accompanied by a slight increase in supine blood pressure. This effect of cannabis on HR is thought to be due to cannabis induced vasodilation causing reflex tachycardia (15,16)."

> Completely wrong. Go run a testnet yourself and you will see.

If you imagine that a laptop has enough hashrate to mine all the world's transactions in realtime, then how do you explain to yourself that the actual Bitcoin network is only able to add a few hundred transactions per second to the chain?

> The difficulty adjusts automatically. The energy usage comes only from the competition aspect - people are competing to earn blocks. You are lacking basic understanding of how PoW functions.

PoW works because miners have to invest significant resources in building and maintaining their mining rigs. As such, no one who wins the race to add a new block will want that block to contain false transactions, as that would bring down the value of the currency and leave them with extremely expensive mining equipment that is useless (once the deception would be noticed by others).

If the bitcoin network was run on 3 laptops, I could buy 100 laptops and start advertising my own blockchain which reverts the entire previous blockchain and replaces it with transactions I like. Since I can mine many more blocks with my 100 laptops, I can create a longer chain, so all clients will accept my chain and discard the old one, reverting all transactions that ever happened.

Instead, if I wanted to mount such an attack on the actual bitcoin network today, I would have to spend billions of dollars on equipment and electricity - ensuring that I wouldn't want to do so.
You don't have to "believe" anything. The "why" doesn't matter. The code is completely open and auditable.
Communal ownership of the means of production is not the definition of socialism. It's merely compatible with the actual definition, which is worker ownership of the means of production.

Some socialists, such as Marx, argue that the logical endpoint of socialism is communal ownership of the means of production at some point in the future when the average worker produces more than their need.
"Totalitarian" implies total control - i.e. yes, the ability to direct uniform thugs to kick down doors and execute people in the streets is included in it.

Putin's Russia is authoritarian, not totalitarian. That's why political opponents are murdered by assassins, not executed by firing squads.

I've used rustls with great success, and I'm really happy with it. Many projects have added support for it, such as curl.

However, I also still really welcome this announcement! There's a lot of code out there using OpenSSL, including both well-established libraries and new projects. I'm glad to see a new stable version of OpenSSL, with a better overall architecture and a more compatible license.

I didn't say it was experimental science.

I said their use of the word link implies a causal relationship because that is precisely what the word link means.

If they are not describing a link, and instead are describing a correlation then they should do so.

Calling their findings a "link" is much more final and implies causation. It's not an arcane definition I'm pointing to here—it's the only definition for the word.

There is no link. There is an apparent correlation based on their filtered dataset.

Epidemiology isn't meant to create problems, it's meant to resolve them. They are borderline fabricating a problem with their misleading study.

Maybe next time they should indicate a "possible link" since that is all they actually have.

When studies make hard-nosed, misleading conclusions about health subjects that are presently on the political fence I get suspicious.
