There are two important sentences from the summary of findings:

First, the effects of Ivermectin on viral load were not significant:
"The ivermectin group had non-statistically significant lower viral loads at day 4 (p = 0·24 for gene E; p = 0·18 for gene N) and day 7 (p = 0·16 for gene E; p = 0·18 for gene N) post treatment as well as lower IgG titers at day 21 post treatment (p = 0·24)."

Second, Ivermectin did show earlier recovery:
"Patients in the ivermectin group recovered earlier from hyposmia/anosmia (76 vs 158 patient-days; p < 0.001)."

From the Washington Post article, a YouTube exec is quoted as saying “We’ll remove claims that vaccines are dangerous or cause a lot of health effects, that vaccines cause autism, cancer, infertility or contain microchips.” This leads me to believe the kind of medical misinformation YouTube is targeting is much more general.

Also, the medical consensus -- via things like Cochrane Review [0] -- is that there isn't enough data on Ivermectin. It's the statistical uncertainty around it that gives the medical establishment pause, and currently makes recommendations of using it misinformation. Should the scientific community discover something different, the definition of misinformation will change.

Agreed, it was a ridiculous comment. I did, however, try to design that ridiculousness to make a point.

We are cultural creatures, not legal creatures.

That something is 'lawful or not' is only part of the context in which we evaluate what is appropriate or not in social culture.

The 'can do your business effectively' not the issue, because it's obvious. Most people can do a glass of wine at lunch and that's that, some can't, but it's part of the meal time ritual and deeply embedded in our social culture. There's thousands of years behind that one. Weed, not so much. Even Hookah, where people sit around smoking a common pipe, doesn't do much to you.
It depends on who was making those claims, and if those claims were made in good-faith and with the best-available information at the time.
I mean, yeah. Context my friend. If you go on a date, it should be for the shared experience of whatever you're doing. Taking someone with you while you do homework is not that. It's no different than bringing a date to work to watch you work. Few dates will actually appreciate that experience.
I do not. This article is fluff, with at least one glaring falsehood noted in a sibling comment.

I would love to see a challenge to licensing regimes.

It’s like “make <action> without a license federally illegal, while actually going through with licensing requires a ton of arbitrary restrictions by a different government or private sector “

Although this is probably the best example of federalism in our country, instead of a nominally named Federal government simply being the national government
I usually classify Post Modern art as deconstructional art post WWII. It was initially fueled by the ennui of two world wars, and then drifted into cries about consumerism. Either way you get a pretty bleak outlook.

Genius composers are masters of taking existing music and bending it in genius ways.

There's quite a bit more to it than being new.

It's about expression, not structure. You can copy-with-statistical-inference the structures but all that gets you - at best - is a kind of melted parody of the source works.

You can also do what David Cope does, which is take one structure and overlay it on another. That sounds a lot more coherent, but that's because it is - inevitably.

Creating that kind of coherence and intent from scratch - deliberately, and being able to assess that you've created it, and to what extent - is very probably impossible with statistical techniques.

Cardano Summit 2021: Highlights
It's not really realistic, you're right. For my own goals it's "defense in depth" - just because I can't think of a scenario now doesn't mean it's impossible to do. Access also makes it easier to accidentally configure it in a way that is in fact easy to blow up.

From a practical standpoint, I just don't want any not-me traffic hitting the management interface for any reason (intentional or not), as I assume they're poorly written and can easily be crashed or even bricked. I've locked myself out of very expensive enterprise switches in past lives by ssh'ing to them too many times.

So if IE someone can poke my management VLAN by sending an ICMP packet with a spoofed return address and my RPI doesn't filter that right because I did something wrong... I'm happier if that can't tickle the management interface at all.
1) central bank loss of independence is one of the hallmark of failed central banks. I hardly think it's reasonable to think that all central banks are dysfunctional in such a way: while these institutions can and do break down, they are not designed to break down in this way. You're free to argue whether a given central bank is or is not sufficiently independent, but that's a more specific problem than the over-generalization made here.

2) it's not an exception to the rule at all. The rule for inflation doesn't mention how much money exists, it only mentions how much money circulates. More money existing does not necessarily mean more money circulating (eg.: money tends to concentrate in certain places for various reasons, rather than diffusing freely).

3) Sure, but two things that have similar features are not always similar in essence or nature. Swords and needles are both sharp, but you wouldn't argue that they're essentially the same. In fact in your own example, taxation for certain purposes could be either inflationary or deflationary (eg.: austerity measures, including those that involve taxation, are deflationary by design).

What amazing stories you have shared!. Glad you changed the job. Totally agree on Agile cultists. I am seeing similar decline here at work.

Obsession with hour tracking takes priority over any other thing. Things that one good engineer would do in 4-6 weeks on a single ticket is now broken into 100 little JIRA shitlets for 6 person months divided in to 5 developers. At the end of it no one really has clue what was really been achieved. But since 100 JIRA stories have been completed, it must be a great milestone.
> which is really frustrating and leads old hands at small places to become obsessed with conservative build/buy decisions and low TCO tech

Can you clarify what you mean here? Are you saying that when people cut their teeth in big companies and then move to small startups, they tend to be overly conservative and favor low TCO tech, when instead they should be spending more money for, what, more growth? Should they be building more in-house, or buying more off the shelf? I'm just not clear which direction you're going here.

At this point we can rule out any serious, acute side effects since people aren't dropping like flies after getting vaccinated. What's left are long term side-effects, and in my mind these would have to be pretty severe to compete with "long COVID", which seems to have pretty nasty neurological symptoms in some cases in addition to the characteristic loss of taste/smell.
This. From a quick web search, a matched pair of portrait paintings by Rembrandt sold for $180 million in 2016.

I'll venture that the most-skilled art forgers currently living would jump at the chance to earn even 1/100 that much, for producing a pair of faux-Rembrandt paintings.

This reminds me of a joke idea I read somewhere: You can encode the entire Encyclopaedia Britannica using a single mark on a simple stick!

It seems curious, then, that the entire source of the vaccine is publicly available.

I think it's alright, the real problem that I've noticed is that a lot of developers tend to misconstrue what they need and bloat their projects in amazingly unmanageable way because it 'the way to do things according to random source x' which could be some weird abuse of state management systems like or redux or general application design

FWIW I've seen it in many projects outside of the react/js world as well

IMO there's been a general drought in books/material on reasoning/thinking about software in general in-favor of the framework/library centric mania we have now which focus on the least interesting aspects of the field -- the cynic in me thinks this is due to how we hire people but there's likely more to it than that
We also might see more people moving back to Rails because of speed, because as they probably know now after rewriting in a different ecosystem... it was usually their app code that was the problem.
I'm super tired of people conflating civil rights + first amendment protections with the idea that speech anywhere, by anyone, on any platform, deserves to be protected.

The goal of the first amendment is to protect the citizens of America from laws created by congress / government in limiting speech. That is nowhere near what we are talking about when we're talking about _any_ speech conducted on a private platform.

In fact, it's interesting to me that the argument has recently been spun around such that some politicians are claiming that social platforms are violating their first amendment rights by blocking or banning. This has nothing to do with the intent or language of the first amendment.

In my mind, you can be the most fervent civil rights advocate and still believe that Twitter/Facebook/etc can ban anyone they want for any reason. Even more so if you believe in free enterprise and the rights of a business to act in the way that they best see fit.

I understand that platform bans have more implications and repercussions than I'm outlining here in simple terms but still the conflation is frustrating to me.

This study was not really science. They interviewed a few people and then applied their own qualitative analysis to conclude that people cannot be self radicalized fully online. Since they published the study, there have been several major terrorist attacks perpetrated by individuals fully radicalized online.
Now I hear it used in the context of skepticism of authority, "nothing can be known as true or false" in the current political climate and it scares the bejeebers outta me. I don't understand how that aspect of PM differs from classical fallacies of appeal to authority -- and I probably never will. :( -- but I agree, it feels bleak.
The speech in your post is oppressing me right now. Cease and desist your verbal oppression or else I will use state-sponsored violence to end your oppressively free speech.
I'm not sure what you mean, could you clarify? Having a stateful component render something different based on a prop change is core to react. Using the key property "resets" the component by rendering a new one, but just because you use state doesn't mean you can't change props.
Tentatively 2k.
They weren't sure about airborne transmission from a-symptomatic people at the time. Delta variant has a higher r0 than alpha, so the herd immunity numbers change. Saying he's purposefully lying because the facts on the ground change is ridiculous.
But NYT article where the quote originated is from December 2020 (ie months before the Delta variant was officially named and more than half a year before it hit the US), so I don't think that is an explanation for why the number changed.

I think the most likely explanation is that public health officials believed that citing a 60-70 number would feel more achievable, and thus encourage people to continue masking/distancing until a vaccine was available. If they has said 85% in May 2020, maybe people would have thought it was hopeless and just opened up immediately.

Whether they judged correctly or not, I don't think it was a good idea to bend the truth because it erodes trust in institutions.
This has always been my #1 reason I'll never get into crypto. My bank has insurance, my physical assets aren't accessible to people on the internet. I likely won't lose my entire life savings simply because I either forget my password or I use one, single, vulnerable device, ever. (Yes, I fully realize you crypto-millionaires took a small risk and won big, and kudos to you)

The benefit of institutions is that they are able to plan for failure within their system. Yes, this comes with some costs attached, but the costs associated with decentralized and nearly unregulateable commodity markets have not even begun to surface.
It doesn't force them as often as you hear in the press. I would notice because I have various windows open that wouldn't be open on restart.
What's your point?

The concept of free speech is 2400 years old. Don't be one of those people that conflates that concept with the American first amendment which only blocks government censorship and is barely 200 years old.

Private companies, groups, and people can and do infringe on everyone's right to free speech.

I remember the cost of emergency medicine in China:

Even very substantial surgeries are rather cheap, but the trivial appendicitis will cost you $10k-$20k, and they will bill you extra if they believe it is about to burst, and you are untranslortable.
> Should the government be able to force a private company to host content that they don't want to host?

If that company is so big and powerful that it's becoming an active threat to the democratic process, yes why not? Better yet, break it up and/or nationalize these companies. They are the biggest threat to democracy in modern times.
The video shows soundbites of commentators saying illegal immigrants, in crowded conditions, potentially have covid.

I don't know if that's correct or not but it has nothing to do with my point that pro-vaccine content does exist on Fox News.
This is in the same area of exploration, except that my main requirement is that, visually, the QR code is a random-dot stereogram. If you align your eyes the right way while staring at it, a 3D image appears.

Other requirements, like that it decodes to something that is meaningful, are secondary.

Alok's quine work is interesting. The actual quining is trivial because the program pulls out its own image using Location.href. (The trick seems to be that when JS code is embedded in a literal "data:" URL, then the Location.href can pull out that URL itself. I'm not a JS person, though.) It looks like the hard work in this project was developing the QR code encoder using a verbose OOP approach, and then code golfing it through 25 steps to make it small.
The VerneMQ bugtracker scares me. Especially this one: https://github.com/vernemq/vernemq/issues/1663. I'm running one instance but I'm on the lookout for an alternative that can more reliably save messages if a subscription client goes down.

I agree with the Kubernetes indictment, but at this point, AWS and company go hand-in-hand with Kubernetes. They have PaaS products that rarely cater to app developers, and DevOps remains a necessity, Kubernetes or otherwise.
It is probably the deadliest.

Content marketing, which is not off-the-mark. A lot of new-age cloud companies have sprung up in the wake of AWS/Azure/GCP's move to woo in more enterprises and thereby making devops a multi-million dollar cost-center for multiple companies. If anyone could automate away all that devops (fly.io / render / repl.it / railway.app / vercel / cloudflare workers / deno) then they stand to make meaningful inroads towards replacing these incumbents.
There's several 100+ million dollar businesses where I live that make their money on phone support/installation/deployment of open source software they maintain. Nobody pays for the software, but they'll pay out the nose on a yearly basis for support.

Google is making a change to its search results with the goal of improving the media literacy of online users. The company is expanding the capabilities of its “About this Result” feature, launched earlier this year, to also now include information about the source itself, including its description from Wikipedia and what the site says about itself, as well as news, reviews, and other context that can help people better evaluate unfamiliar or new sources. It will also point users to other information about the same topic, to point users to other sources of information that may be related to the user’s original query.

"Do you consider the town square a centre of inspiration for mass shootings"

Before the internet, yes, definitely. Maybe not mass shootings specifically because that seems to be a recent fashion trend after Columbine,
but violent extremism in general. How do you think Hitler managed to secure over 40 percent of the democratic vote in the early 1930s? How did Osama Bin Laden recruit extremists who were willing to put a bomb into the WTC basement? Propaganda, speech.

This idea that unfettered speech in the public town square, even if it isn't directly inciting violence, can't lead to pathological outcomes just doesn't hold up.

This isn't even an argument for government censorship. It's merely me recognizing that these type of outcomes can come about.

Nowadays almost all extremist speech is online, because that's where there is distribution and anonymity, so the analogy breaks down.

"where they are exposed to the general ideas of the community rather than an echo chamber"

This isn't a bad argument, but you have to balance it off with the knowledge that ideas are highly, highly contagious. On balance, I think giving such ideas distribution to a billion eyes is far more harmful than pushing a fringe into echo chambers which already existed before social media censorship began anyway (such as the Stormfront forum).

Moreover you have to recognize that these isolated echo chambers would naturally self-segregate on Reddit if given free reign, and so in practice you haven't changed anything aside from giving these ideas more distribution. It's not like /r/88 or whatever would be interacting with the rest of Reddit thus helping their members deradicalize.
It does force updates but my personal experience has been it's something that happens less than once per month. Maybe even less than once per trimester.

It's majorly overblown.

And I've definitely not had the "Windows trying to restart while I'm holding a presentation in front of key customers", though, with a billion users anything that can happen, will.

The classic Duchamp urinal I think is brilliant because it was so goddamn scandalous and just flipped so many assumptions upside-down. Being first matters IMHO. But over many decades it has been so set-upon by bigger thinkers (and GRIFTERS) and creators that it is exactly what the other poster said about "inaccessible". (Although I do love me some Zizek.)
Gotta love the graphics card one.

Sorry, I just don't believe these numbers. Even mainstream media sources have begun admitting that hospital admission rates are meaningless because they reflect mostly test results from hospital admissions for concerns other than covid symptoms. It is interesting that despite this the unvaccinated are showing up more, but because it is for example plausible that the unvaccinated are just plain leaving their homes more, I think that actual scientific study is needed to explain these numbers.

I recognize that it's ridiculous to be in a situation where I'm rejecting facts; that's a great way to be led completely astray. But that's the world that censorship has created.
Strictly speaking, I don't think those are "externalities" though
What in the world is Solarpunk?
PayPal did that, Stripe was a good alternative with better documentation. They later expanded to many more features that are nice for small businesses.

CTR+F "paypal" in the launch thread. I don't view Stripe as visionary or a break through in payment processing, that goes to PayPal, but Stripe has a better user experience.
> Someone want to throw out there a better way to combat disinformation than just armchair criticizing their decision?

Yeah, don't do anything? Why do we have to do anything about """disinformation"""? What'll happen in a few years when the things you stand for and believe in are labelled as disinformation? Because if you start censoring and combating "disinformation" now, it's only a matter of time until the same practices start affecting you and the things you stand for.

Besides, do you really think banning people off of platforms for wrongthink is more likely to make them change their minds? If anything, those kinds of actions cause resentment to fester, which only leads to more radicalization (for lack of a better term) in the future.
