I can't understand what exactly this crime stoppers do, do they call police on you if you make a crime?

There were 2 things in the Texas abortion thing that reminds me of my country past

1 make abortion illegal and force people in doing risky procedures

2 a system where you can't trust anyone , you could get snitched on, even false accusations that could destroy your life.

So the 2 things combined did the job, individually would not have worked, and Texas has a reputation that I will not be surprised of weird things happening there.
Wasn't all steel before the 1800's or so made with wood?
I've seen so much on this subject here lately, I cannot resist asking the following question: If there's really such an altruistic, humanitarian concern, why not disclose the actual differences between the veterinary and human variety rather than vaguely implying possible absorption issues. The difference of a 1200lb beast vs 160lb human is a bit too easy. The ingredients, however, might offer a clue.

Also, as I understand, ivermectin is more commonly used as a cat (and sometimes dog) medicine, ie Revolution, that is, if cats outnumber domestic horses. I wonder if the cute-factor of people using catpaste would reduce the outrage.
Patenting does not supercharge anything after it has been issued. If the patent is really breakthrough, the result is it tends to stifle competition while the holding party entrenches to milk their asset.

The only way patenting can ever help is by creating an incentive to companies to do research, because patents make it very easy to defend your "IP". But this is before, not after the patent has been issued.
Nice, we can no longer run from politics. We need two services for every single political affiliation. Are you on Communist Twitter or the Capitalist one ?
Yep, only listen to doctors that you agree with.
They’ve been burning Zozobra in Santa Fe since the 20s. Not a music thing per se, but a symbolic burning. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zozobra
Gonna check those out!
You are right that informed vote is important, but there's no "informed choice" requirement anywhere in democracy-as-voting. If fact, there's no "informed choice" requirement in the US democracy either. It's commonly implied that we prefer it, but it's not a requirement.

> the political system will not be stable,

Why not? If the oppressor class is big and cohesive enough, and does not care for the oppressed, there's no reason for them to stop and nothing could force them to stop, short of violent revolution or outside intervention - they would always maintain the majority.

> there is no legitimate long term threat to Australia's democracy

How do you know that? I think collectively agreeing to suspend basic human rights for reason A would make it very easy to agree to suspend basic human rights for reasons B, C, D, E, ..., Z - and then, what is left from the democracy? Voting? See above.
(Asking as someone who thinks these laws are among the worst passed in the US in recent memory)

What would you say to the charge that recruiting for terrorist organizations is actually illegal, and that the Texas laws were created legally by democratically elected officials?

Surely there is some daylight between the 2.
As far as I understand, they were using it before we had the vaccine as "it might work, it might not, better than nothing". But I don't know the details. I think the practice was discontinued later?

But the space it occupied in the public debate (at least around here) was the same Ivermectin does now - not "better than nothing" but "use this instead of the vaccine because evil media and pharma and gubmint is lying to you".
I mean it is FDA approved for humans for various ailments so it’s not that surprising that everyone isn’t dying from taking it
Triage children before anyone at hospitals and health service centers. Any adult should treat themselves with their best decision making. If that results in their death so be it. Time to stop babysitting adults.
Thanks for the heads up.

It's worth noting for others that (it appears from a quick read, I haven't actually used this yet), the compromise for gaining the "docker-compose" superpower is that you will have to run a podman service (Daemon). This comes counter to some (not all) of the benefits I mentioned above, but is a necessary compromise if one wants the power of compose style orchestration; that is, that there must be some deamon to manage it.

This is not authoritative, I may be mistaken, but this is my educated guess based on a quick read and my knowledge of Docker et al.
80k people for a few hours in a stadium surrounded by infrastructure purpose built for it is a completely different matter than 80k people on a featureless, waterless, hot desert plain for a whole week.
There big change recently is that the Man design is no longer only designed by one white man in collaboration with the now deceased founder.

Presuming an “official” BM goes forward again, I would not be surprised if the man design changed to to include female features
good question, thanks. I forgot to add the interview link that answers this question: https://protonmail.com/blog/carissa-veliz-data-privacy/
You've clearly played the game
>Why would you otherwise feel the need to rephrase it and are still unable to explain the practical difference?

Because your "definition" implies a lack of agency in an agreement between contracting parties. That is a practical difference and one that was noted in my last sentence which you either didn't read or avoided addressing. To quote: "The difference in practice is that someone can walk away from a deal, but no one can walk away from the government".

>Yes, and for the masses without property? I think I hinted at indirect coercion by "to feed yourself".

I read your statement as implying the usual anti-libertarian argument: property is coercion. I thought that the "to feed yourself" line was a throwaway example of a "limited" freedom "granted" by a property owner made to support your mistaken thesis that a top-down structure exists between individual parties freely engaging in a deal. My approach was to explain how property owners can't grant freedoms, as people have their freedoms or trade them for expedience, and that this top-down structure has, in the past and the present, implicitly and explicitly been practiced by government. I couldn't have read your statement in the way you implied simply because I've never conceived of any such claim being made seriously that choosing to feed oneself, whether one owns property or not, is evidence and a product of force. But now that you've made that clear, I can only say that it's ridiculous.

>and I have no interests in going off into some USDA tangent.

The USDA is not a tangent. It's an example of my point that someone without the ability to decide what do with his own property is better defined as coerced under your original phrasing. It's also a counterpoint to your claim that my point is a euphemistic rephrasing of yours.
What I don’t understand about ivermectin is… is the horse paste version different from the human version in any meaningful way other than concentration?
What if some black people simply look similar to certain types of human-looking apes when photographed at an extreme angle, with a certain lighting, etc?

I‘m sure I could take a picture of myself that made me look like a teapot, if I just find the right crop, positioning, etc.

Cry racism too many times, and it will lose its strength when some actually racist does happen.

Be careful!
> How would you do coding with insane deadlines, insufficient people, terrible management, and constant changes (with no change in dates) in only 4 days?

- Don't have insane deadlines

- have enough people

- have better management

- forbid changes after the project plan has been approved.

I have worked in one company that worked like that, or perhaps it was just one factory in that company. It works at least some of the time, or at least it did at that time (late 70s to early 80s) and place Mullard, Southampton.
Microsoft is still using it's near-monopoly position on the desktop to push it's browser. Exactly the same thing it was slammed for before.
From the article it isn't clear if this is a legal mandate, but perhaps it is not referring to ultra-high-paying jobs that require insane crunch schedules?

In the article, it mentions that Microsoft saw a 40% increase in productivity by allowing looser schedules, so perhaps programmers solve problems faster when they aren't staying awake 48 hours a stretch drinking Jolt* and eating pizza three meals a day?

* dated myself
It’s tricky, I think I remember reading a paper by Microsoft research (I’m really sorry; looking for a source) that showed a correlation between bugs and all lines of code including comments.

So if that’s true redundant comments do hurt you.

Anecdotally in dynamic languages incorrect comments related to types seem to be a constant pain for me. They’re unverified and so a second source of truth that often wrong and can’t be trusted.
A lot of code files starts with lengthy copyright notices, and no one seems to mind. I find comments at the top very easy to ignore if I work on that code regularly. Also, I don't think I've ever seen comments at the bottom of a file!

I wonder if Protobuf wasn't open-sourced by Google, that comment would've been replaced with a link to a design doc. Google docs weren't a thing in early 2000s when Protobuf was originally written though.

[edit:] The depiction was never discussed, it was about the wedding not the cake.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masterpiece_Cakeshop_v._Colora... informing the couple that he did not create wedding cakes for marriages of gay couples owing to his Christian religious beliefs, although the couple could purchase other baked goods in the store. Craig and Mullins promptly left Masterpiece without discussing with Phillips any of the details of their wedding cake. In other words he was unwilling to provide any cake for this purpose regardless of what was shown on it.

The law isn’t that literal for good reason. Put another way saying it’s ok to reject a mortgage because it’s a black mortgage rather than a black applicant is silly. It’s clear in the case the rejection was based on sexual orientation.

A bakery can’t reject an order because it’s for a religious ceremony due to the religion associated with that ceremony. However, it’s likely a bakery could reject being part of any wedding independent of religion or sexual orientation.

Anyway, the same baker is in court over refusing to make birthday cake for transgender woman.
The author talks about linking it to human sacrifice, which is definitely an angle worth considering. But there are some others-

1. Immediacy is one of the ten principles of burning man, and burning the art when finished forces people to appreciate it in the moment while it still exists. It’s worth noting a lot of art is burned, not just the man.

2. Fire is aesthetically pleasing . A huge percentage of the burning man crowd is into fire dancing and fire arts

3. They burn the Man because that’s what they do - similar to abstract art you can just accept how that makes you feel rather than needing to cognitively analyze it.

4. It connects to both eastern and western religion. Impermanence is a pillar of Buddhism and a man publicly dying is a pillar of Christianity

Of course I don’t think drawing a connection to human sacrifice is outlandish as a ritualistic burning of a symbolic man during a large semi-spiritual gathering is easy to connect to human sacrifice. But it’s worth considering a few other ideas.
Automating servers has been tried since the early years of this decade, by McDonalds in particular, and that same company is now hiring again paying $15 per hour for those same very simple positions.

Automation isn’t going to happen like that, although I am unsure what the obstacle is for something as basic as fast food.

All the tech is there.
Automatic burger machines have been here since the 70s.
Ordering can be done through a phone app. Where is the bottleneck?

Now if selling hamburgers can not be automated I would like to know how something more complex like political strategism or software engineering or market analysis is supposed to be automated.
I'm referring to the Reuters news article. Also, is that quote from a GoDaddy press release or something? Or just quoted from the TOS? because that's my point, that when banning someone, they should include in the report which specific part they violated. This would certainly help accountability
Yep - there's always someone out there who can do things that look like pure wizardry to you, no matter what your skill level. I was amazed by the meet in the middle attack and frankly still don't understand it properly!
Of course, Republicans/conservatives are of the exact same opinion when it comes to CRT/woke ideology, which is why they attempt to legislatively remove it from curricula of public schools, to protect children from brainwashing in that direction.
Laws are not the same everywhere in the world. In France we have disabilities quotas, so it makes sense to ask about them during hiring. I also think suing someone because they didn't hire you is less of a thing.
> , I'm sure they still learned their lesson and would never dream of doing something like it again.

That's the thing though. COVID vaccinations are _nothing like_ the Tuskegee experiment.
Why do you say that? I'm interested to know.
I find that doing a "headerdoc" kind of thing works for me.

I did write up a thing about it, but it's a long read, so folks don't usually read it: https://littlegreenviper.com/miscellany/leaving-a-legacy/

Has some pretty heavy-duty examples.
That's true.

I decided it wasn't worth the effort building a writing tool just for myself; I'd wanted to build something potentially profitable, and... this isn't it. GPT-3 isn't great at most things, but it's really good at being a writing aid for fiction, so it's a real pity they're doing their apparent best to prevent that.

NovelAI is almost as good, so nowadays I'm just using that.
> I think you could make an argument for anything up to 1 mg. Anything beyond that and you’re definitely too high

So, should I take the whole 1 mg pill or divide it into smaller doses?
In the Rock-n-roll biz, the easiest way to make a million dollars is to start with two million. It is a more universal saying than that though
Glad someone else is willing to say it, it's sad that the Overton Window on abortion has shifted so far that what you said is unacceptable these days.
The Metaverse Emerges by David Hoffman
The mother's choice is made by partaking in the act that leads to conception.

Courts have zero problems legally binding men to that act.
Really crazy times:

- doctors say: take a vaccine but people say “I don’t trust big pharma”

- random guy say take ivermectin and people say “great I trust pharma”. Merck is marking tons of money now.

So this is all about packaging of the message. I think the only way to convince people to take vaccine is that Binden (and democrats) starts telling people not to take one…

This is just beyond stupid and this is all result of our nanny state. Im 100% for Florida approach: let’s god sort them out.
Politicians enjoy taking advantage of this particular fallacy. The only antidote is an education system that teaches you to think critically, not fall for these cognitive shortcuts.
I agree - I found the writing to be the kind of thing that makes me immediately skeptical.

A lot of fanciful connections that seem “smart”, but without much to back it up - it’s possible there’s truth to some of it, but someone could similarly argue a different reason and make it sound just as good. I suspect it’s overconfident in what the causes are and drawing more of a conclusion than what’s there.
Or build low tech versions of products. No one really wants a smart tv for example.
> So despite prescriptions going up x24, and some unknown number of people taking veterinary versions of the drug, emergency calls have only gone up x5? Wouldn't we expect it to be around x24 or greater?

Presumably most of the hospitalizations are from the non-prescription use and less people are likely to take medicine "off-book" and some of those are at least clever enough to work out a safe dosage.
Finally a downside to running uBlock Origin: I'm denied this kind of amusement!
The premise that the worlds of gaming and culture are separate seems wrong. Games are art. Games are sport. Gaming receives from and adds to culture just as much as anything else.
Funny how the people who complain the loudest about companies deciding not to associate tend to the be most rabbid free-market anti-government people.

Godaddy isn't by any means a monopoly. The barrier of entry into hosting DNS is trivial. I don't see the problem.
The only reason you think it's inherently shitty and incompetent for a doctor to prescribe ivermectin off-label for Covid is because you've bought into the dumb culture war politicization of it. I'm not a Bill Maher fan but he made a good point when he said "ivermectin isn't a registered Republican, it's a drug." Maybe it doesn't actually work (unlike so many on the other side of this issue I am at least willing to grant that the evidence is mixed), but in the doses it's being prescribed it has a very safe side-effect profile. Why is it that the only correct standard of care for an early-onset Covid case is "sit at home and hope it doesn't get worse"?
Ask HN: What books would you recommend for learning about cars?
This is an interesting article, but it doesn't answer why we have this shortage. Presumably without COVID, companies projected what demand would be for years out and could plan manufacturing capacities.

What about COVID caused the shortage? Is it shipping speeds? Change in demand? Less efficiency down the supply chain due to health requirements? Trade changes?
Replace "abortion" with "having a gun" and it's constitutionally equivalent. California, you know what to do.

The Bakery doesn’t refuse to allow LGTBQ to enter their business & purchase their products, that would be impossible to defend. They will also custom make a cake for LGTBQ customers, they only refuse to make “wedding” cakes for LGTBQ. Why? If anyone has ever been married & hired a wedding cake vendor, u realize you are not simply walking into a bakery & leaving with a cake. You are hiring a vendor. Like all vendors, they participate in your wedding. There’s private, personal meetings about design & flavors. The cake vendor delivers the cake to the location & sets it up. Why would an LGTBQ couple want a vendor to participate in such a personal event who does not want to fully support their event, who isn’t excited to be involved? I don’t think there are laws that would force the bakery to participate like that. GoDaddy is certainly not providing personal services on that level, so it’s not a great analogy.
The most-read essay I've written describes why med school is a poor choice relative to alternatives: https://jakeseliger.com/2012/10/20/why-you-should-become-a-n...
It is cowardice when it's used as an excuse to not commit to a stand on an issue, and a lot of people do take issue with that.
You use labor law to disincentivize such behavior by a business. If the business can’t successfully manage and profit with 4 work days per week, creative destruction.
Amazon Is Reportedly Making Its Own TV Expected to Arrive in October
I don't shower until I have done 30 minutes of exercise on my Concept2 rower.
The choice angle is simple- you choose the act that leads to conception.

The pro-abortion side just doesn't like the answer.
You have the right to vote as a US citizen. Every little thing you do to add friction to that disenfranchises such populations. We're not talking about urban, educated people with means. To get an ID you will need other forms of identification, which depending on who you are and what your background is, can mean you have nothing to present.

Much has been written on this topic. I encourage you to do a little research before jumping to conclusions.

From the top link to a simple google query [1]:

• Rates of identification-ownership are highest among White individuals, while other ethnic groups disproportionately lack necessary photo ID. Thirteen percent of Blacks, 10 percent of Hispanics, but only 5 percent of Whites lack photographic identification.
• Lower-income individuals are less likely to have photo ID. Twelve percent of adults living in a household with less than $25,000 annual income lack photo ID, compared to just 2 percent in households with over $150,000 annual income.
• Young adults are less likely to have photo ID: 15 percent of 17-20 year- olds lack photo ID, and 11 percent of those ages 21-24 lack photo ID.

The problem you're describing is that the business is probably not viable. In some countries what you're describing would be illegal. In others there are sometimes exemptions for tech workers (we should work to cancel those!). It is also doubtful whether such an employer is actually getting any additional productivity out of this practice.

On a personal level, the solution is to not work at this place. If that's an option. Some sort of organizing (like the U word) could help create leverage against abusive employers.

Consider that the 5 day work week is a relatively recent thing. Not too long ago everyone worked 7 days a week. The world didn't stop spinning when most people shifted to actually working 5 days a week with normal hours.

In Canada there is an endless supply of tech jobs that are 5 days a week and 8 hours per day. I am a hiring manager in a company where we care about our employees and pay them well and I can't find enough people. Partly because people prefer to work at places with a terrible work environment for various reasons (looks better on the resume, bragging rights, our work maybe isn't as exciting ...).
