So, your preferred solution is that they either require a prescription for the specific drug you used (at a doctor's suggestion) that does not currently require a prescription -or- that they allow all drugs without a prescription because doctors cost money and are the worthless except that they can prescribe a drug?

Those seem to be contradictory things. I think you just want the doctor who (apparently) misled you to be punished. Which is reasonable and what malpractice suits are for. The FDA's job isn't to review every prescription written by every doctor.
I tend to agree.

I've been using Duolingo for almost 2 years now. It has learned me to understand the language a bit.

But don't ask me to build a proper sentence myself. I'm utterly lost in that case, because it doesn't teach you having a real conversation. That includes even the most simple real life things like ordering at a restaurant and then complain that your food is cold.
I'm asking to put some numbers on our predictions in a conversation that's already had us predict what people will do, as a tool to dig deeper into the factors that could lead civilisation to collapse.

Being totally accurate when predicting the future is impossible, but discussion of the factors is useful in its own right.
>On the pricing page Vimeo claims unlimited bandwidth for the $50/month Business plan:

I hate, hate, hate it when companies claim this, including mobile phone companies. Unlimited means unlimited. The who "Subject to fair use" is just a bullshit way of trying to say that the usage is actually NOT unlimited.

It's like getting a job at a company and they say that they will pay you $500,000 per year. But then they say that the compensation is subject to fair use, and then they start paying you $40,000 per year.

In part because we've spent the last two generations scrubbing ourselves of the intellectual capacity to have a coherent dialogue about industrial policy.

Also in part because much of our leadership isn't composed of Americans working for American national interests, it's composed of humanists who perceive themselves to be global citizens and believe in a worldwide frictionless marketplace operating under a universal liberalism that incidentally control American resources.
I'd love to read a balanced biography on Thiel but unfortunately this sounds like it's just more slandering and activism.

Thiel isn't necessarily a good person in the sense that he'd readily share his sandwich with you if the two of you were lost in the desert together, but his unique perspectives on things and his willingness to share them are what makes him quite fascinating.
I also use HomeAssistant, and am quite happy with it, but i wish, they would start including the [`remote_homeassistant`](https://github.com/custom-components/remote_homeassistant) addon.

It solves the Usecase, where not all BT(LE) devices in the house are reachable from the main HA, and you need remote "pickups" for their signals, and then want to integrate them back into the "master instance". It also solves a bunch of other problems, like integrating some sensors of the HA of your holiday home into the HA of your main home.

The author describes the rationale better here: https://github.com/home-assistant/architecture/issues/246

For some reason, NabuCasa doesn't want to integrate it. Maybe they see it as competing with an own upcoming (cloud?) solution of their own?

There is thing called survival bias. Your friend could have similar thoughts with you and then you became friend.

There are many reasons you don't hear how majority Chinese think, it could be majority of them doesn't read/speak english, it could be toxic comments and community environment prevented them from speaking out, it could be media biased reports, and not mention a lot of advanced countries' supremacy.

If you are not faimilar with that, try to talk with people lived in super rich neighborhood and super poor neighborhood, you'd be amazed how difference people really think and speak out.

If the same thing happens in different regions/countries of the world are treated differntly, in a lot of ways, is called bias, not a serious thinking.

> If you asked the average user if they would rather that their phone crash, or have the top speed capped. They would all rather it did not crash.

Certainly the average user would choose "no crash _and_ not get slower", conveniently ignoring the either-or nature of the question. (Maybe "get less battery life out of a single charge" if they are trying to come up with an alternative.)

Completely wild speculation, but I think it will be more than 6 months, because covid variance is much less than flu.

There is emerging proof that dissease+vaccine immunity is much better than dissease or vaccine alone, but it might also be the booster effect.

After all, there are other vaccines -- such as hepatitis B where you need a booster after one year (booster 3), before you get your long-lasting antibodies.

My solution would be to fix it and break backwards compatibility: Any default value is evaluated anew on each function call without the specified value. Then you CAN mutate it to your hearts desire without impacting subsequent invocations. If you want to keep hidden mutable state between function invocations you should use a closure.

def banana(parts = []):
pass

Calling that procedure without parts would mean parts would be bound to a NEW empty list, not the same old.

Every new pyhton programmer is bitten by this sooner or later. Most people seem to think it is stupid, and relying on it seems, to me, to go against the python mantra of "being explicit", where explicit would mean either using an instance variable in the case of OO or a closure.
This is clearly the case as every time there is a mass evacuation from somewhere they issue an OTA update to release more battery capacity.
I'm more than onboard with the idea that recent monetary policies have put pressure on prices, I just don't see how anyone can sanely say that a 4x price increase is (was) "caused by inflation". Of course implying that all or the vast majority of the increase is directly attributable to inflation, adding "runaway" back into the discussion.

> with the Pixel lineup, there is a historical quality control issue

I guess it's hit or miss. I've had a Pixel 3 and now have a Pixel 5. The build quality of both has been far better than any of the other two dozen phones I've owned. No problems whatsoever with the 5. With the 3, I had a problem with the charger occasionally not working, but that was because the port was filled with pocket lint. And there was also what seemed like an occasional speaker problem on video calls, but it turned out to be a software problem with feedback loops and not a hardware problem.
I think big cities have diverged from the country average globally and the impact on country average metrics then depends on the degree of urbanization.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urbanization_by_country the urbanization rate in AU is ~2x the US, so people are moving to cities at a much bigger rate? Even in the face of the high prices.

But yep I still see what you mean, on the country-averages level the AU prices seem to have been constantly rising faster in AU than US.

Can you explain what I'm meant to be getting out of this 47 minute long review of current climate indicators?

I understand that climate change is progressing rapidly, is going to cause very bad things to happen (my earlier comment mentioned hundreds of millions of human deaths as an example), and should be mitigated. What I question is whether the total collapse of industrial civilisation as a result of climate change is likely to occur. This is as opposed to economic stagnation, famine, war, widespread desertification, unliveable wet-bulb temperatures, or anything else short of a total collapse.

> cameras on computers were not uncommon

In 1994?! Name two, please.

The first widely known laptop with integrated webcam option, at a pricepoint starting at US$12,000, was an IBM RS/6000 860 laptop and his ThinkPad 850 sibling, released in 1996.[1]

As I recall, even though there was at least one commercial webcam available in 1994, it was very uncommon for anyone to have an external webcam connected to their computer even up to 1998-2000, let alone a built-in camera. Certainly there were "pioneers," those with interest that always had the new doodads, but I would not remotely describe them as "not uncommon." They were precisely uncommon, i.e. maybe 5% or less of home computer users had a webcam prior to 1998.

You know, not being impressed isn't a virtue or anything, and it isn't a crime nor even a character flaw to be impressed, even if mildly, on occasion.

Also, let's not conflate the Internet with the WWW. First streaming webcam is a decent woop, especially considering that beyond processor, resolution, bandwidth increases and new protocols, not much has changed, the evolution has stalled. Though every device today has a built-in camera, one might expect there to be a layer of the Internet dedicated to video, but there is not. The best we have even today are video posting sites, and sites of live webcam directories, when there should be something better by now, some sort of seamless integration of all the live cameras, perhaps like in that Batman movie.

Companies disclosing employee salaries is a major thing, but for me the first step for companies is to provide transparency for *salary bands* for each role, internally and externally. Funnily enough I wrote about this earlier this week

I am also not commenting on the likelihood of escape.
I consider "ethically compromised" and "morally corrupt" to be the same thing.

I will accede to your claim: this is largely histrionics. I don't disavow my position, but I certainly do regret having so casually made these "totalizing" claims. It's a position I'm still working on formalizing well, but posting pure rhetoric is not that well-formalism.

You are correct that a single person isn't the world; however, my singular personhood is my entire world, and I do think it's fair to use the data point of me to make judgments about the world and others.

I think I specifically need to work on how I convey my notion of "ethically compromised," because I think it's probably far weaker than it's likely to be taken.

Perhaps I should say, instead, that I can not say any Facebook employee is ethical; or that, if Facebook employees were to share my ethical values, they could not view themselves as ethical actors (although I'm certainly not contending they ought to have my values). More generally, however, I believe this of every employee of Microsoft, Twitter, Google, Facebook, etc. (the uncivil technology corps) Saving only for those employees whose immigration to the USA was conditioned upon their employment.

To me, the question is very much similar to "Were the employees of IBM during the Holocaust ethical?" The reporting goes, that IBM helped Nazi Germany design the computer systems that tabulated inmates at concentration camps. I really hate this particular formulation, because I definitely do not want to draw parallels to Nazism; nor do I wish to imply that they are on the fringes of such. However, at their most extreme, the uncivil technology corps has contributed a lot of tech and a lot of data to the CCP. I believe the reporting that the CCP is arresting Uighur Muslims and others, and placing them in concentration camps. Again, I do not wish to imply that this is the same _in scale_ as the Holocaust, nor even necessarily _in kind_ (yet), but it certainly rhymes to an uncomfortable degree. This is where I specifically stake my claim that these employees are unethical for human rights violations.

I don't see how someone can claim any degree of ethical standing if they directly aid an endeavor which profits from such malady.

I am glad to hear that you've found benefit from using Facebook, but I contend that whatever positive values Facebook might have are far-and-away outweighed by the definite societal ills it wreaks.

Again, just to clarify, I'm not saying that you need share my opinion: just as I am my own yardstick for the universe, I respect that you do the same.

I sincerely appreciate the engagement we're having. It's easy to look at someone you perceive to be displaying histrionics and snub them; thank you for our dialogue, and I hope it can continue.

EDIT: If you'd wish to continue this dialogue via email, my inbox is in my profile; else, I definitely welcome continuing this thread here publicly.

Back in my school days, we used to have lots of poems which would often go on to say that money is the biggest trouble of life, or that money is the biggest corrupter of people's minds, or that money is the root cause of all evil. Most of these poems were written before the 20th century. I would often disagree with these poems, naively thinking that one just had to have some sort of self-control when it comes to money. Now I know I was terribly wrong.

Its really saddening to see the the main objective of people is to own a Lamborghini ,a mansion and live with some hoes, just like that "YouTuber guy".
Well, better is subjective but a couple of reasons that make it a default choice for most use cases:

The GPL is an interesting thought experiment but honestly I don't think it makes much difference these days.

(Meanwhile, the cloud happened and no software licenses were ready for "AWS decided to run your thing for money and not pay you for writing the thing".)

Delta is way too fast for that, at least if you want to prevent systemic infection and transmission. If you have low antibodies the anamnestic response squashes the tail end, but you can still transmit before that, especially in contexts like household contacts and homosexual orgies.

The long-term consequences of maintainers’ actions
Given that this is now published, it seems like it’s just a matter of time before bad actors discover the vulnerable middleboxes (trivial since they operate on TCP port 80 on public IPv4 addresses) and we start seeing some really nasty DOS attacks. The infinite loop variants seem particularly bad - a nation state may not even notice that one of their censorship middleboxes is spamming a hapless victim server into oblivion.

This doesn’t look pretty. Kudos to the researchers for discovering it, but I’m definitely afraid that it’ll be hard or impossible to mitigate for anyone except the biggest CDNs. I certainly would not expect the middleboxes to remediate this.
Seems like all the risks you just associated with not-prohibiting prostitution would also apply to farming. Given its deplorable history in the US vis-a-vis slavery, it seems to be we can’t possibly risk more individuals being exploited in such a manner. Granted I’d concede that farming has substantial benefits, but frankly so does sex to those who cannot obtain it socially. Arguably the need for sex is tantamount to the need for food itself.

It's an ethical measure because I use it to measure whether something conforms to my ethical values. I take it to be axiomatic.

Likewise, it's a simple assessment for me to conduct. "Do I think this corporation enforces that their product or service be used in a certain specific way?" Unfortunately, I'm incapable of formalizing it any better than that. Yes, it's arbitrary, and not rational. I accept that. I don't advocate that anyone use this test, nor adopt my ethical positions; however, it is what I use, and I was primarily interested in sharing my perspective (which is both arbitrary and irrational).
Yes, these companies and contractors have already spent a ton of extra money panic-buying lumber at a highly elevated price due to the shortage. Many of them probably didn't even have a choice but to buy in order for their building contracts to stay valid.

For most it's far more expensive to get bogged down in litigation than just buying the lumber at whatever the asking price is. So now they've got to cut corners or find another way to make money despite of their elevated holds of lumber.

The result may very well be deflation, as contractors are now forced to undercut each other to get new building contracts, as lumber production has been increased to meet the demand. That is if you can afford to wait.

Think of it like a traffic jam. The cars behind the lumber car won't be able to move before it can move, and then—due to market insecurities—the lumber car might not even be able to go full steam ahead. Because no lumber producer wants to producer more lumber than necessary, since that'll only lead to the price dropping unnecessarily. And so we're stuck in a situation where the line leap-frogs slowly forward until the guys in the front finally feel safe enough to push the pedal to the metal.

High antibody titers is one reason it's very unlikely to get reinfected within 3 months.

But it's more complicated as there are multiple antibody types -- the actual infection produces antibodies in your nose that aren't produced when you get the vaccine, so those antibodies would protect even more.

I read that there are ongoing studies to administer covid vaccines intranasally to protect even better (I miiight have just reas that they were actually using one of the mRNA vaccines in existence but just putting it in your nose)

edit: I could not find the story about an existing mRNA vaccine being tested intranasally, but there are other vaccines in development that are given intranasally.
