Huge thread about a war between the USA and China without serious mention of nuclear weapons and nuclear winter
I used to be a Firefox exclusive user. I no longer use it at all.

The last straw for me was the proton update. I updated on mobile, it was faster, I liked that, the UI was interesting, and then I went to install my usual add ons. No dice. "We are only allowing select add ons, most people don't use add ons anyway." Fuck. That. I raged out and removed Firefox from all of my devices.

They shortly afterward backpedaled and said it was temporary. There was no technical reason for it though.

I now use various chromium forks that have features I need and don't talk to google. Currently that's ungoogled-chromium, Bromite and Kiwi Browser, for it's extension support. If Bromite merges extension support in from Kiwi I'll stop using kiwi.
1. Very, very small energy potential.
2. Infection concerns.
3. Much, much simpler ways to do it much more effectively.
4. That being said, implants are getting more and more common, it won't be too long before finger pricks are replaced by injected sensors, as the latter is already a deployed technology, for instance.
5. It will happen on some level, but weight loss / gain isn't just energy in and out.

This is not what happened. Microsoft was involved in a lawsuit after paying one of Apple contractors to steal QuickTime code. "investing" in Apple was part of the settlement.

I don't believe so. It's the only way to get a proper pay increase in corporate America. Internal promotion in most corporations comes with at best a 10% pay increase most of the time and includes increased workload. If I leave my company and go to another I can pretty easily get 15-20% increase and stay in the same basic job I'm currently at. Most companies don't offer any benefits that increase based on loyalty so I don't know why any would expect someone to stay long term.
I’m very interested in seeing a comparison of Medium and Substack, payout-wise.
My grandparents were in a care facility for several years. By the end, they were each on so many different medicines that one of my other relatives had to keep records on everything to make sure dosages were right, they were getting the correct medicines for the time of day, day of the week, etc.

I feel like this industry for the care of elderly in this country just bears 0 responsibility.

>Even if that's true, isn't that an even more damning statement about him as a president? That he wasn't even in control?

That just kind of fits the narrative pre-9/11. I think a lot of people forget what a lame duck President he was considered prior to and even just after 9/11. There’s 0 chance he would have won a second term if there were an election on 9/10/01 - I think it’s what gave a lot of the conspiracy theories legs.
That's a bit of a leap, isn't it? Couldn't you say the same thing about every person you meet?

FFS. It’s not as if Germany forced those countries to utterly bork their finances. Suppose Germany had said no, were not lending you money, it belongs to our citizens. What would those countries have done, who else would have helped them? The fact is they got better terms from Germany than anywhere else, and what thanks do the Germans get? So glad us Brits stayed out of all of that.

I had a tacit agreement with a homeless guy I discovered one day sleeping in my car. I'll keep the doors unlocked and you don't mess it up and by 7 am you're gone. He was by far the best tenant I ever had, we did this for close to two years and then I moved. The area where I lived was an older industrial zone in the East of Amsterdam, there wasn't a whole lot around there other than a salvation army post and I figured he liked the backseat of my Citroen DS better than the cots and 4-to-a-room arrangement that they had there.
Bill Binney (Tech Director/NSA) wasn't promoted. He quit just after 9/11 after He leaked that we had all of the intel to discover and piece together 9/11 in our systems, but the administration was prioritizing bulk collecting data over actually analyzing it.

> In September 2002, he, along with J. Kirk Wiebe and Edward Loomis, asked the U.S. Defense Department Inspector General (DoD IG) to investigate the NSA for allegedly wasting "millions and millions of dollars" on Trailblazer, a system intended to analyze mass collection of data carried on communications networks such as the Internet. Binney had been one of the inventors of an alternative system, ThinThread, which was shelved when Trailblazer was chosen instead. Binney has also been publicly critical of the NSA for spying on U.S. citizens, saying of its expanded surveillance after the September 11, 2001 attacks that "it's better than anything that the KGB, the Stasi, or the Gestapo and SS ever had"[11] as well as noting Trailblazer's ineffectiveness and unjustified high cost compared to the far less intrusive ThinThread.[12] He was furious that the NSA hadn't uncovered the 9/11 plot and stated that intercepts it had collected but not analyzed likely would have garnered timely attention with his leaner more focused system.[9]

If I understand what you mean, this isn't correct. The stock to flow model predicts that BTC should already be over $100K and replacement of investment gold predicts a price around $400K IIRC. Wilder theories like usage of crypto as a medium of exchange predict even higher prices.

> You keep presenting a difference between what “you” get and what a “megacorp” gets, without any evidence that they’re getting something different from you.

>

> You also sidestep here into a complaint against “planet wide resolvers”. To a rounding error, nobody is running their own recursive resolvers. Everybody uses either their ISP’s DNS provider or one provided by a large network entity, virtually all of which are companies. This has been the case for decades. So anybody relying on the source IP of the UDP packet is just out of luck, and has always been out of luck.

1. It is not sidestep. It is my main point. EDNS-client-ip has sense only for planetwide resolvers, and it is "optional" only because of it. EDNS-client-ip was designed especially for Google DNS. When you use recursive DNS of your ISP in your city, the source of UDP packet is in your city. When Google zeroes 8 bits of IP, the EDNS-client-ip is still your city. It is needless to know your exact IP to select the best server for you. CloudFlare refuses to disclose even that approximate location, which gives their anycast CDN an advantage.

2. There is no "decades" of "5 years" history. There is only two points on this timeline: the first: launching Google DNS - which introduced ENDS-client-IP to mitigate caused inconvenience to webmasters, the second: launching Cloudflare DNS - you know the story. The rest (Quad9, ...) are negligible. Yandex DNS might be comparable big and, like CloudFlare, it does not send EDNS-client-ip - for no privacy-caring stances (my speculation: just out of lazyness), but it is regional, all requests from there can be safely rounded to Moscow. So we can consider there are only three cases over there: Google, CloudFlare (commonly referred as "planetwide resolvers"), and all the rest are regional businesses, whose very network ownership discloses location.

>

> It’s clear you wish this wasn’t the case, but Cloudflare and Google aren’t really changing the game here,

This is ridiculous. The IP I will know from HTTP logs few miliiseconds later, we are talking about getting origin city from DNS query to answer with IP of the nearest HTTP server.

>

> and they don’t owe you optional features because you really want to see user IP data.

So webmasters do not owe to answer when CloudFlare want to see server IP data, ok?

The divorce of indy webmasters with CloudFlare DNS is very natural, I just wonder why it is no massive.
I have a colleague that uses Linux with a thinkpad, he was the person that made me think of my comment. Linux works perfectly but then starting Citrix causes a weird perpetually zooming effect on his external display.
“9/11 wasn’t a big deal because so many people die of natural causes anyway”
But it was a single task they took too long on?
Yeah, I like having stories for the different states setup on those types of components too. Our actual app takes seconds to refresh in a development mode and then getting the components back into those states would take extra time, or require extra tooling anyway. Even with HMR some changes will require reloads or component state resets.

For complex data from the API I have actually added tooling very similar to VCR that allows me to record API req/responses from the backend into "cassette" JSON files that can be "loaded" on a per-story basis. Don't use it for everything, but it has worked out very well where it has been used.

We were told the vaccine was the end all be all solution that stopped the virus. Many have opted to forego it and accept the risk. What’s so wrong with that?

Or is it really not about death, but the bottom line?

This is false.

Please do not try to stretch that bit of weak labor law to protecting posts on TWTR because they are headquartered in CA.

Code Coverage for Zig with Callgrind
Yeah, about that recompile. About 2 years ago I started to learn Raspberry Pi. All good and nice, Lazarus runs directly on Pi, until I needed some network functionality. Found some components and tried to recompile the IDE, to install those. Errors over errors, wasted 2 days and couldn't make it work. I had to use a previous version of those components that were already compiled/packaged - no idea how to name this - where I took them from some repository and then magically appeared inside Lazarus' component palette - no recompile was needed. I gave up on Free Pascal/Lazarus and went back to Delphi - nowadays, with FMXLinux, you can target Debian without a hiccup.

I liked Lazarus idea of gazillion targets, until I actually wanted to compile for those targets - started reading forums, manuals, wasted a week. You wanna know why I prefer Delphi? Because all I have to do is select the target in a selector and that's it. So until Lazarus will not require recompile and switching targets will be just as easy as in Delphi, it will remain a toy.
It clearly is harder to innovate in a federated system. Look at what happened with Matrix, and how much time passed between them standardizing E2E encryption and getting E2E encryption universally deployed (I think that switch just flipped last year?). Not everything Moxie Marlinspike writes is correct, but he's been pretty well vindicated on that.

Antipsychotics have horrific side effects but are useful in institutional settings to make residents/patients/inmates easier to manage - psychiatry is the tool used to legitimize drugging people without need for their consent in such settings, for the benefit of others and the institution. It makes me despondent to read an article like this as I believe there are too many perverse incentives and cultural taboos for this situation to change in any meaningful way.
Why do American stores charge you $1.99 instead of $2.00? The 15 kopeck coin was used to make change when you were charged 0.85 rubles.
Nursing homes are part of the medical system, but they tend to be pretty disjoint in terms of the medical professionals who work at them. They're also regulated differently.

Evidence of a particular kind of medical malpractice in the nursing industry isn't positive or negative evidence of any malpractice (much less fraud) anywhere else.

One of the most disgusting parts of western culture is how they relegate their old to these nursing homes.
A story from the RAI congress center in Amsterdam has it that someone purposefully scratched a 911 on the Porsche display, cue a car transporter that shows up the next morning with a big logo on the side that gets help from the staff to remove the 'damaged 911' so that it can be replaced with another. They never found either the car or the guys. This was before CCTV was common, but still, a couple of hundred people must have seen the whole thing and absolutely nobody thought anything strange was going on.

Details are on wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandar_bin_Sultan_Al_Saud):

A court affidavit filed on 3 February 2015 claims that Zacarias Moussaoui was a courier between Osama bin Laden and Turki bin Faisal Al Saud in the late 1990s, and that Turki introduced Moussaoui to Bandar.[76] Zacarias Moussaoui stated on oath and wrote to Judge George B. Daniels that Saudi royal family members, including Prince Bandar, donated to Al-Qaeda and helped finance the 11 September attacks.[77] The Saudi government continues to deny any involvement in the 9/11 plot, and claims there is no evidence to support Moussaoui's allegations in spite of numerous previous intense investigations, noting that Moussaoui's own lawyers presented evidence of his mental incompetence during his trial.[76] Leaked information from the redacted portion of the 9/11 Commission Report states that two of the 9/11 hijackers received $US130,000 in payment from Bandar's bank account.[78]

Are these in dispute?

>When I put it that way it feels banal,

It is banal, at least the largest portion of social media is. Originally, I could see the usefulness of FB with connecting with friends near & far, sharing, planning, etc. All sounds useful, but then FB turned it creepy with their method of monetizing their products and algos to pull the strings to make it as addicting as possible. Insta, TikTok, etc has pretty much fully embraced the dark side of social. LOOK AT ME!!! LIKE ME!!! FOLLOW ME!!! Again, with the tweaking of the algos to up the addiction factor. All in the name of "engagement".

YouTube already made me nervous, but there's definitely some people creating content there that is not about that at all so I don't lump them in with the others.

Not all antipsychotics have horrible side effects. Let’s not lose nuance in response to the terrible unethical behavior depicted here. Modern antipsychotics often do good in helping people function when they wouldn’t otherwise be able to. The illnesses they treat are ones of terror and loneliness. I will note however that there’s no purpose in them here except to force submission, and that’s abuse and spits on the good that can be done.

One nit: The article switches back and forth between incorrect schizophrenia diagnosis (11% of residents) and prescription antipsychotics (21% of residents), but those should be treated as separate topics. Antipsychotics can be beneficial in many conditions beyond schizophrenia, such as insomnia (at low doses), bipolar disorder, or depression (to boost efficacy of primary antidepressant treatments). The "antipsychotic" label is an unfortunate holdover from long ago, but the drugs are actually much more useful than they sound. Current generation antipsychotics also have significantly fewer risks than first-generation antipsychotics. The article's attempt to call them "chemical straightjackets" is a cheap shot at a class of medications that can be very beneficial for several conditions. Overprescription is a problem, but that doesn't mean all prescriptions are bad.

The truly alarming stat is buried deeper in the article: The fact that 1 in 9 nursing home residents is diagnosed with schizophrenia is way too high. Schizophrenic patients will be overrepresented in nursing homes because they are less able to care for themselves in old age, but that's still an unbelievably high number. These misdiagnoses are what we should be focused on.
