None of your examples are about the vaccine as far as I can tell. Are you suggesting that because some experts allegedly lied about some things in the past, no experts ought to ever be trusted again about any medical or public health matters?
The public square is alive. There are people in my downtown right now with megaphones uttering their own flavor of insanity. You also have more reach than ever before in human history thanks to the fact that anyone can pay a few bucks a month and set up their own website with their own rules.

And the right to free speech has nothing to do with you getting your ideas heard. It's everything to do with what you can and can't be prosecuted for, and therefore is irrelevant when we are talking about something like youtube which can't prosecute you in the first place. Even back then the law could have said something like everyone has a right to get their essay published in the newspaper, but it didn't, because you can imagine how that would quickly get ridiculous, and ultimately just like youtube newspapers were private entities, only they had even more influence and reach than youtube since everyone read them and took them seriously as the paper of record.
We're in agreement, although I might add (2) is essentially the same as the censorship policy in the Weimar Republic under which Hitler was elected, where public censorship was nominally and constitutionally illegal [1] (except in narrow circumstances, such as anti-Semetic expression) and any censorship essentially relegated to private and/or voluntary regulation

> How can I map "Reddit's moderation policies" onto 1920s beer halls and Der Sturmer and newspapers?

The same way the first amendment is applied to both beer halls and the internet. There's not a single rule in Reddit's content policy that cannot be applied to a beer hall [0]. If you fail to find a way to apply these rules you're either not putting in any effort or you're a lot dumber than you sound (methinks the former).

Given that what you advocate for is virtually identical to that under the Weimar Republic, I assert your chosen policies would have little to no effect on the election of Hitler.

From the wikipedia page you linked, on the second paragraph: The peasant population had been afflicted by drought, famine, and disease for many years before 1096, and some of them seem to have envisioned the crusade as an escape from these hardships.

It didn't even take that long to see how religion is mostly a pretext for a war over resources.

> religious violence was often at a much smaller scale (...) collectively you have an enormous death total across human history.

The problem is with violence, not with religion. Lots of people have committed acts of violence due to road rage, their sports teams, jealousy of a love interest and (the internet's favorite) political arguments. To try to blame Religion over the enormous death total is as silly as blaming "Car-Based Transportation", "Football" and "Biology".
> You iPhone continues to report its location to Apple when it is powered off" or something

This statement wouldn’t be true. The iPhone broadcasts crypto keys over Bluetooth, which other I devices use to encrypt the detected location and upload to Apple.

But the only thing capable of decrypting those encrypted payloads is other devices attached to the same iCloud Keychain.

So Apple has no idea where your phone is, and there’s also no guarantee that a location will ever be uploaded.
gee..I wodner what steve jobs' email is? Or eric's . It goes to show how redacted info can actually reveal it.
It’s extremely frustrating, and I was always surprised when I returned mid-range USB chargers because of whine only to receive a replacement with the same problem and hundreds of reviews that failed to mention it. I’ve never had an issue with Apple chargers, and the extra cost is money we’ll spent.

Buy genuine Apple chargers, if not for you, then for your dog.

Right, and even if the market was a sequence of discrete binary choices, bad traders will make many bad binary choices, but many of their choices will be good ones. (They just won't know which are bad and which are good.)

In other words, reversing every choice in a mediocre sequence of binary choices yields another mediocre sequence of choices.
Right, the risks of the disease only apply if you actually catch it, and you might get lucky and avoid it. But choosing to get vaccinated means you take on whatever the tiny tiny risk of the vaccine is to you.
It's not. There are plans to change the logo and illustration, but right now Baymax will have to do because he is also a "healthcare companion".
I've been using this for about 8-9 months now.

I highly, highly recommend it.

I've found YouTube much easier to consume as a result of this. It's not an endless binge anymore driven by an infinity feed.

That being said I use YouTube everyday and I'm an active content creator on the platform my self. I even have Premium.
I agree, the standard library doesn't have those problems. As you said though, the ecosystem is kind of the point of using Python in the first place.

Again, I'm not really a fan of Python as a general purpose language for large projects, but it really, really excels at being a kind of "universal glue", and it's why I use it again and again.

In that role, "uniformly slow" is better than "performance rollercoaster".
Your example is about saliency and perception. Modeling these to guide lossy compression is an important feature of high-end encoders, but that is largely independent of compression techniques used.

It's possible to do optimal-ish highly compressible dither (it's been done for LZW), but the results are still pretty disappointing compared to even old JPEG.
> Age standardized mortality rate (that is, accounts for an increasingly old population) is at 2008 levels in the UK. This doesn't account the total lack of treatment early on, patients were denied anti-inflammatory medicine and put on ventilators instead of normal oxygen.

Thank you for confirming my argument, vaccination rates in the UK are well over 80%.

> Not many people are dying of COVID-19, they're dying with COVID-19. Most have serious underlying conditions.

Actually, deaths from underlying health conditions are all up in addition to COVID deaths, try again.

> This is patently untrue. 87% of deaths and hospitalizations since July are vaccinated [1]. Now, this site might seem sketch, but you can download the reports from the Scottish government yourself and verify the math. I did, it's accurate. Tellingly, the latest report is missing the death count table.

That is not an honest statement, granted I should have qualified my statement with "in the US". Comparing a country with a much higher vaccination rate seems to be apples to oranges. Very interesting stat though, need to read more on that.

> If the vaccines have any affect at all, it's marginal, and only in the elderly. Of course, they don't work, that's why they're rolling out 'boosters' because the vaccines keep failing.

This is 100% supposition, what data would you cite, if any, to back this up?

EDIT: Did some more reading, apparently Moderna, Pfizer, and J&J only account for less than 34% of the vaccines administered in the UK, they are primarily utilizing other vaccines.
When have internet websites where the public can comment on not been heavily moderated? It's been like that since forums came out. HN is also heavily moderated, it keeps the weeds out of the garden.
“CPUs excel at performing multiple tasks, including control, logic, and device-management operations, but their ability to perform fast arithmetic calculations is limited. GPUs are the opposite. Originally designed to render 3D video games, GPUs are capable of fewer tasks than CPUs, but they are specially designed to perform mathematical calculations very rapidly.”

I thought the advantage of the GPU is not speed but parallelism or are modern power saving processors also slow compared to GPUs on non-parallel tasks?

Also, is it common to use Registered Trademarks (FastEddy) in a paper these days. I know a lot of universities try to commercialize research, is this the reason for the trademark?
No. Variants spring up because of non sterilizing vaccines. We always knew to NEVER engage in mass vaccination during a pandemic situation. We also knew we can’t vaccinated against corona viruses. As evidenced by Israel and other countries.
> The fact that you are asking and haven't hit the issue suggests you haven't actually used useRef before.

Or that you are doing questionable things with it? My guess from your tone and general confusion around React is that you expect useRef to have lifecycle hooks when the `current` value changing does not have any lifecycle hooks at all, and somehow your problem with that has made you rail against these hooks. Feel free to enlighten me - I have useRef and useEffect all over my codebases, I have never used useCallback though

> Sure, asshole. I've only been using React for 6 years now

Your own words: "React, itself, is a mess. Always has been". That's a comical statement to make if you're not emotionally biased against a library. Especially when that library is well-organized, with strong lifecycle guarantees, and gives you the strongest out-of-the-box composability of any comparable web framework.

But no, it's you that's right, React sucks and doesn't work, it's the top JS library because JS developers are idiots right?

Edit: it additionally appears you downvoted my entire thread contribution, so I'm going to take it as you don't understand the point of useRef at all. :)

Can't really get raises by jumping around if all the best options collude to keep wages own
If memory serves, Erik personally had a business relationship with Apple at the time. He may have been a board member or advisor... So he actually did take _some_ orders from Steve.

This also isn't the only threatening email from Steve to Erik. There was a Google labs project that had been approved by apple legal that got an angry email from Steve too. The lawyers signed off, so Google was protected but it didn't prevent swift action. (The lab project was taken down but the dev was not in trouble.)

Probably yes, given recruiters are supposed to recruit and need to actually find people lest they get a bad performance review. It might have been policy to not cold call/cold email people, but culture could have dictated otherwise to meet quotas.

> their was a (laughable) settlement for the employees whose wages were depressed because of this

There also used to be tens of millions in wages paid out to people employed by cigarette companies. The conduct of the industry, and the individual employees themselves, will generally impact how people see them and thus how employable they are over time.
You made a “you have to do X” claim, and then point to a documentation page that shows you don’t have to, even though it is the recommended pattern.

React works fine with components that don't follow the recommendation, though if you freely mix internal state updates and external updates via props that shouldn't represent instance changes, you can very easily make something unnecessarily difficult to reason about. So the recommended pattern of either doing a fully-controlled or fully-uncontrolled component is a sensible recommendation that makes sense to guide design. But nothing will break and the React cops won't arrest you if you use props driving state, though if you do too much of that whoever had to maintain your code may be upset.
I am not sure you can answer a subjective assessment with a blanket dismissal - obviously at some level the webex UI can't be completely unusable (lots of people do use it), but apparently some people just don't like it. It has what strikes me as an unpleasant installer (like BlueJeans, it seems to only work if you download an installer and run it for every call, which seems excessive somehow).
>It's very unclear, without deep knowledge of both the vaccine tech and the virus, which time bomb is worse. I know what the experts say, and I personally believe them, but it's not surprising to me that others don't.

But... that's the thing, isn't it? It's a fundamental issue with tackling the problem.

"I sure as hell have no idea whether 'a' or '¬a' is better, therefore 'a' is the one I am picking." It's a ridiculous level of favouring one alternative for no good reason.

I would find it acceptable if it were even based on some sort of loose heuristics for picking 'a', but they got nothing. For someone who might as well know nothing, why the heck are they so focused on 'going at it unvaccinated is probably the better outcome long term'?

Not believing the experts would lead to not having an opinion at all. What they are doing is believing that the experts are wrong.
"and reduces the risk new mutations" likely the opposite is true. It is called evolutionary pressure.

I will get vaccinated next year since I move back to China then. They insist and I am okay with it since I get something in return.
You are right, many epidemiologists and related experts did assert that masks would not be useful to fight coronavirus. And they were wrong.

On the other hand, if it's a "colossal messaging fuckup" and damages "credibility and trustworthiness", then you pretty much have to give up on the whole 'science' thing entirely.

They were under the mistaken impression that coronaviruses were spread by large droplets produced by symptomatic individiuals---in which case social distancing and washing your hands would be as effective as masks, and the previous history (and current experience) says that convincing people to use masks correctly and consistently is very difficult. Further, having people stock up on masks like they were stocking up on toilet paper would mean that those who couldn't get along without them would be SOL.

Then it turned out that coronavirus could be transmitted as an aerosol, asymptomatically, meaning that social distancing and handwashing, while useful, were a lot less useful. Hence, masks.

But if you are expecting science to produce a single, correct, consistent TRUTH on demand, you are going to be disappointed. In fact, you're probably better off sticking with The_Donald memes, since they're all of the same quality.
This means coffee, tea and many sodas would be illegal. It would be illegal to grow any caffeine producing plant.

Not having a coordinated effort to effectively avoid wage inflation due to competition would be a more reasonable approach too. Then again, the law says this wasn't a reasonable course.
If somebody asks for solutions better than X, giving constraints that preclude X is no better than a red herring. Contrary to your claim, MrYellowP never cast doubt on the importance of fighting disinformation, or even tried. It's just a distraction, a derailment, and a favorite tactic of disinformation enablers since forever.

>As of October 31, 2013, Intuit, Pixar and Lucasfilm have reached a tentative settlement agreement. Pixar and Lucasfilm agreed to pay $9 million in damages, and Intuit agreed to pay $11 million in damages.[9] In May 2014, Judge Lucy Koh approved the $20 million settlement between Lucasfilm, Pixar, and Intuit and their employees. Class members in this settlement, which involved fewer than 8% of the 65,000 employees affected, will receive around $3,840 each.[14]

That's it. Seems so small. That is like a week's worth of pay. It goes to show how class action suits only enrich lawyers, in the end.

"After the stock issue got solved masks suddenly magically became effective for everyone around the summer time."

Technically, it was roughly the end of March and April, when evidence of asymptomatic and aerosol transmission began to appear.
> overabundance of evidence that the COVID vaccines are safe, effective, and that they decrease hospitalizations and death

"evidence" that comes from tightly controlled information sources with clear non-truth oriented motivations, that can only accept one answer, and suppres all contrary evidence and discourse? Well if Pravda and the Party tell us the injection is a must and safe too then who could ever doubt it?

I was (and am?) "vaccine hesitant." I am vaccinated now, though it was probably unnecessary since I already had it. I'm really starting to wonder what exactly they injected into me and almost regret it. These are not the actions benevolent actors with nothing to hide.

FYI what pushed me over he edge was a combination of discomfort (wanted to occasionally re-engage with nightlife without worry and guilt), time, local community that I trusted more getting it, and some people in particular I wanted to meet up with that were particularly anal about covid fears.
> This article has me wondering if I’ve ever turned my phone off besides restarting it or the battery died. I’m sure I have but I bet it is very uncommon.

I turned mine off on a 6.5 hour flight when I wanted to ensure I'd have battery later and knew I wasn't going to use it for entertainment in-flight. That's really the only time I've turned my phone off in the past few years.
You're still making bold yet vague claims and providing no evidence. Just wishy-washy "an unnamed expert I know made this significant yet unverifiable statement".
That aside, there was a massive decrease in iPhone thefts when activation locking was introduced with the original “find my”.

Something like this could further deter the portion of thefts that end up funnelling through shady resellers.
Per my understanding this has nothing to do with actual security.

I think nobody steals smartphones anymore for the smartphone itself. Mainly because they are either getting locked or are easily tracked. That is poor business.

What is happening in practice is thieves take sim card out of the phone and try to use it to steal from the owner as much as possible. Log in to bank account, reset passwords on social accounts and ransom money, etc.
Ah, thank you. I was referring to the broader news media regularly showing "hypocritical" politicians not wearing their face masks in some photo.

Well, you can't exactly relocate a campus with 5,000-10,000 employees to another state 'on a whim', but yeah, your point still stands that it's a lot easier than moving a factory that builds physical things.

I recall IBM and other tech companies being called out for occasionally deliberately moving campuses to other states because this creates an excuse to sever certain employees who can't otherwise be lawfully fired.

Where are the camps for people with COVID?
Except it's not irrelevant even. The central claim is encapsulated in the first sentence:

> Because of the way they are constructed, Randomized Control Trials will never show any benefit for any antiviral against COVID-19

By noting that there are indeed RCTs that show effective treatments for COVID-19 (fluvoxamine and monoclonal antibodies), it renders the entire point false.

The semantic argument about what constitutes an "antiviral" is meaningless as the OP themselves plays fast and loose with this by establishing that HCQ and Ivermectin (primarily used as antiparasitics) as antivirals.
