It was odd that they came back telling him used books sales was crowdfunding. They seemed to get that wrong. After that it was a bunch of useless corporate spam emails of the like you get from an App Store review or similar.

Recently wanted to also create a cluster of mqtt brokers and found this medium tutorial stringing Docker Swarm, RabbitMQ, Consul and HAProxy together very helpful[0].

I was not happy with the static ip's for haproxy and opted to register the mqtt/tls services in consul and use the consul dns resolver with hapraxy.

sort of, but not quite. you've articulated a good argument for something like a fat tax, but being fat doesn't immediately make others around you fat. (yes, you can be a bad influence on someone, but that won't land them in the icu in 2 weeks).

but of course you already knew that.
I'm from Israel. I got the vaccine. The goalposts here shifted to a third booster shot. They already admit the first two doses become ineffective very fast, contradicting the early research that actually got me to trust and take the vaccine in the first place. The stated effectiveness of the vaccine also went downhill. I also had some unusual vaccine side effects that I will not discuss here because I prefer my privacy and nobody believes random internet anecdotes anyway, I'm only going to get criticized for sharing.

I'm not going to get any booster, even tho they are heavy handedly mandating it here, with absolutely zero data. They don't even allow you to confirm a healthy antibody count, strengthening the suspicion that this isn't about "waning antibodies count" at all.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I had my suspicions that this medical tyranny would keep on going on even when the medical data is non-existent, and that most people will not even notice the difference. That suspicion was fully confirmed. I personally apologized to my anti vaccine friend that he was right.

It's going to take a detailed research on why the original Pfizer trial was wrong on the effectiveness, what is the amount of antibodies required to be safe, and then I would see if I meet the criteria, if being recently vaccinated meets the criteria, if they understand the causes of the effects, if the booster actually gives reasonable advantage. And maybe then I'll consider it. If they don't put the side effects and the errors of the phase 3 trials under investigation I might not even vaccinate me or my future kids against other diseases as my trust of this industry was broken by the Pfizer experience.
For a good while I thought I was the only one who is against hooks. It's good to see there are two of us. By the looks of the other comments here, maybe even three.
I agree with most of what you've said. I really only disagree with the last bit, as it ignores the network effects of moderation, and the fact that moderation applied by topic is necessarily polarizing along the lines of that topic.

I didn't intend to prove "bans cause homogenization", but rather cast doubt on "bans achieve the stated goal".
> How about the rampant false claims from various health officials and the WHO that masks didn't work in the very beginning of the pandemic.

That... wasn't the claim.

The claim was that people shouldn't stockpile masks for use beyond the circumstances in which they were recommended, because such additional use did not provide additional protective benefit.

This was roughly contemporaneous with guidance that most people should eliminate all non-essential contact with people outside their household. Masking for essential interactions was recommended by the same people advising against buying masks more generally.

> ...and this lie was intentional to protect mask stockpiles for healthcare workers.

It wasn't a lie, and preserving stocks for frontline workers and their essential interactions was an overtly cited part of the rationale, alongside the lack of additional benefit from superfluous masking.

> How about the initial censorship of the outbreak on social media and news media, on the grounds that the "fear-mongering" about an outbreak in China was racist?

That didn't happen.

> How about the labelling by the news media of the initial travel bans as racist?

The initial US travel bans, instituted after substantial domestic community spread was known and after substantial spread in lots of other foreign places that were not targeted by the bans was also known were, if not racist per se, more political posturing than public health.

> How about health officials refusing to test anyone who hadn't personally travelled to China for months after the virus had been observed in the US.

How is that a lie? Whether or not it (or the actual limit on testing, which was more nuanced) was the optimum way of managing limited testing resources may be a valid debate, but it's not a lie.

> We ran into this several times at a past company where our UIs rendered elements in the 10s of thousands

Maybe that's the real problem? If at all possible, such intensive tasks should be done in native frameworks, not web technologies. Alternatively, why not simply do less? Pagination, extracting separate sections of the app into separate pages/views and many others are perfectly valid approaches to something like that in my eyes, not just turning to low level optimizations.
I feel like the efficacy is debatable. It reduces severe symptoms but more and more vaccinated are contracting it daily even in places of 95+% vaccinated so there's a good dialogue to be had here
All right, let me try saying the same thing in a way that isn't an ad hominem: You're coming from the starting position that the elites control and decide most everything. For those of us who don't share that starting point, you aren't giving nearly enough to be convincing.

For example, Japan. Yes, I know about Perry. That doesn't mean that the US was running Japan's foreign policy 80 years later. Where is your evidence that the US-imposed vassal status lasted much past the Meiji Restoration? (Yes, they were open to trade after that. That doesn't make them a vassal.)

Or the crash of 1929. Where is your evidence that elites pulling money out to fund WWII was the cause of 1929? The conventional position is that it was a speculative bubble crashing in the normal way that such bubbles crash, through mechanisms that are fairly well understood. Where is your evidence that the standard narrative is wrong?

You think elites set up the system. I agree with that; they do. (Who else is going to set them up? If you've got the power to set up a system, you are, by definition, one of the elite.) Where we differ is that I think things are much more chaotic than you do, and therefore that the elites have much less actual control.
The odd time if there is a "weird" video I see somewhere like reddit I'll just watch it in private browsing to avoid this. It's annoying that I have to do this though.

I find I have the same issue on Spotify as well. I don't listen to Spotify a whole lot, but when I go to the gym I'll use it and listen workout style music. For me the stuff that gives me that energy and focus is often hip-hop/rap style music. But ironically it's probably my least favourite genre to listen to outside of the gym. But since at least half my time listening on Spotify is listening to that kind of music all my recommendations are terrible.

I really wish these services gave better options to manage your interests. I would love to just tell Spotify to just ignore certain genres from recommendations. Part of the problem is that I also suck at discovering music. So it would actually be beneficial to me to have better suggestions on what to listen to.

Which is sad considering how great youtube recommendations used to be around the time Stripe was launched. Remember when people used to go down the youtube rabbit hole to see where they'd end up? Now there is no breadth nor depth to the recommendations. Youtube used to be a vast ocean, now it's a puddle ankle deep and no more than a step wide.

Risk management seems to be more based on gut feeling, so it's probably not science.
It's also very easy to convince yourself that you have particular insight that those other people lack. You might even occasionally be right. But generally speaking the odds are that they understand something you don't, not the other way around.

Specifically to your Theranos point, Theranos was never public. Conning individual investors out of private investment money is somewhat different since the people who saw through the bullshit don't have an easy way of profiting off of that sense. The options were to buy in or opt out, and plenty of investors wisely decided to opt out but there was no play for them to profit off of the collapse.

Scientists often think about one topic at length, and therefore tend to overestimate it's importance. This is a bias that needs to be corrected for. Thinking that a topic with which one isn't familiar is simpler than it really is is another unrelated bias.
Whenever I look into the modern formats excited to save 50% on bandwidth, I realize I'd have to spend 50% more on storage since I still need my fallback to JPEG.

Maybe I've just become jaded by it all, but those older ads also felt steeped in a different kind of consumerism, angled at a different kind of consumer. Still interesting to read, but I don't find them any less passe just because they're a few decades removed from your Sears catalogue.
...where is the false statement? Fauci gave one estimate, then gave another more conservative estimate in an attempt to encourage people to get the vaccine. At no point did he give a number out of the range supported by the available data.

Calling that "purposefully lying" is ridiculous. People who have to present a single number to summarize an entire body of scientific research for the general public always have to make a decision about how conservative of an estimate to give.

However, this would have been the smallest of art-historical footnotes had Duchamp not then gone on to do the rest of the things he did, and we put it in the art history textbooks because of its (minor) place in one of the most ground-breaking modern artists' development and career.

It's worth remembering that Michelangelo was also breaking a lot of rules, and was something of a rebel within the context of his time. His talent also developed within a context -- the same amazing guy, born 400 years earlier or later, would have been making a very different kind of art.

I think for my purposes defining continuous = unmeasurably discrete produces the same results.

Ie., there is an irreducible geometrical continuity in the sense that no discontinuity can ever appear. The state density is maximal.

via this route we reporduce the same point: computationalism/simulation'ism' is then just the thesis that computers qua measurably discrete systems can realise dense unmeasurable discrete systems.

This can be shown to be impossible with much the same argument: spatial and temporal geometrical properties obtain in virtue of dense discreteness; and fail to obtain at measureable levels.

The key property of continuity is its irreducibility to measurably discrete systems. That irreducibility isn't, however , limited to continuity .

Wolfram makes this point about the failures of reductionism in a perfectly discrete context, ie., that no CA can compute a CA whose complexity is greater than it can summarise.

I prefer to press a continuous angle: our best theories of all of reality are continuous and geometrical . That energy levels are discrete in bounded quantum systems has almost nothing to do with the indispensability of contintuous mathemtatjcs in every known physical system -- including that very bounded wavefn

This is not just a false idea, but an obviously false one, contradicted by all the laws of physics. If you were right, then any finite volume would contain an infinite amount of information, which would mean it has infinite entropy, temperature, and energy.

Also, by the same logic you apply to space, you could say that time is infinitely divisible, so you could create a computer which finishes an infinite amount of steps in a finite amount of time.

Not necessarily modern technique based hacks, but my personal hacks boil down to 3 things.

1. Composition matters. Alot. Move yourself,your camera, and your subjects around.

2. Control your light naturally. Pay attention to directionality of light, shadows and softness. You can cover a light with your body or change directions.

3. Slow down and take your time. Imagine your shooting film, make the shots count.

Using these techniques, I stopped carrying my DSLR and only shoot with my phone. The photos from the phone have far higher quality and value since I have it in my pocket at all times. Making "capturing the moment" a very accessible thing.

It's no more subjective than 'less violence' provided the interested parties define measures for success. I mean, if the government can set goals for employment, then surely they can set them for civic engagement and disinformation.

> do you think they know what the long term effects of a serious covid case is? (hint: it starts with a d and ends with "eath")

This is a dangerous message to push. The reality is that there are many lasting consequences of COVID that fall short of death but are, never the less, quite serious. The so called “long COVID” really needs to be part of the vaccine calculus because the health consequences are very much worse than the purported side effects from the vaccine.

I’ve seen this kind of phenomenon first hand when it comes to drugs. As a teenager, there was lots of anti-drug messaging trying to convince us that ecstasy was dangerous. And all of it focused on scaring kids by exaggerating the risk of death. But we could see people taking it regularly and none of them were dying. And so it undercut the message. But decades later, I know a few people who’ve had depressive episodes potentially linked to heavy ecstasy use. And that consequence was never a part of the decision-making process because the authorities discredited themselves by being unnecessarily and obviously hyperbolic.

We need better messaging that provides people with the full range of consequences for their choices. The “you’re going to die!!!” hysteria ends up being counterproductive. Even as deadly as COVID is, the truth is that unvaccinated people probably won’t die from their case…the vast majority survive. But if people understood how many recoveries included long-term health consequences that significantly affected their quality of life, they might be better able to weigh that against the potential side effects of a vaccine.

As a former academic in pure math, I was once given the advice that university hiring/promo committees care about two things with respect to publishing:

1. The most prestigious journal you’ve published in.
2. The number of publications.

Churning out mediocre papers and writing grant proposals seemed awful to me, so I left for the tech industry.

This kind of behavior is needed for:

- Public transit and digital IDs. It sucks when phone dies and you can’t get out of a station or show your driver’s license.

- Power management. Power buttons on modern phones are digitally controlled by a microcontroller because actually switching main power by those buttons can glitch the phone.

- Firmware updates. Phone has to be able to handle USB connection to accept new firmware.

- (probably more)

It’s nothing new. Just that it does wireless too now.
