Alternatively, you could view the situation as: if the even the simplest voting system can be successfully attacked by a convincing enough demagogue, perhaps the complexity of the voting system isn't that important and we wouldn't actually lose much by picking a better but more complex system.

In the end, the attacks were not on the vote system itself, but on the real-life voting process - fear of double-voting, of fraudulent votes, of dead people voting etc.
> If you compare changes though, these orientations have been politically powerful for decades

They have, but they usually don't go toghether, that was my point.

Social rights advocacy usually goes hand in hand with far-left positions, while more centrist economic policy usually implies conservative social positions.

I believe it's been a policy driver because it's kind of an "elite ideology", which is overrepresented in educated or powerful circles, which have relatively more soft-power.
Apparently D3 inhibits production of melatonin. Can't remember where I read this so not a hugely useful comment but I promise I didn't just make it up! Anecodtally, I've also experienced similar issues taking 1000 IU D3 before bed and having trouble sleeping. I moved the dose to the morning and Boom!, good sleep.

Edit: Here is the study. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23665342/ - only a single study but still interesting

I thoroughly oppose the idea that to be able to have meaningful human relationships, I need to subscribe to a walled garden run by a profit hungry private entity with an extremely bad track record of handling privacy, security and ethics.

I exited their whole ecosystem 2 years ago. Never found the urge to go back.

Leaving all of the fake-ery of Instagram and noise of Facebook behind has improved my day to day life immensely.

Many of my Whatsapp contacts had already begun to move to Signal so that helped. Some of the rest I talk to through Twitter. With the viable rest I call or use sms.

A lot of them I just let go (were dead relationships already).
Other than streaming, a less obvious single threaded bottleneck would be the LCS compaction, with a rather ugly workaround of using multiple keyspaces as noted in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7949#comment...

With scylla TPC approach, there will be one shard per core, and I think that shall allow more LCS compactions to run in parallel. Theoretically.

I have seen the workaround on a very large cassandra cluster. Meanwhile, I never thought to myself that "well, the 200ms p99 with g1gc sure is nice, but my users would be so happy if I can lower it to 20ms". So, if I am scylla, TPC would be my main selling point, coupled with real world examples, but somehow they want to focus on p99.

They may use the same umbrella diagnosis, but when you seek treatment different causes of depression are all separately tested for. Food-mediated things are not top of mind, not in the least because nutrition is poorly understood and incredibly personal besides. That's something much easier investigated on your own (something you are taught the tools for when you seek therapy).
You seem to suggest Manuel Valls has also been prime minister under Macron presidency (after having been under Hollande's), which he hasn't.

Also, the "neither left not right is also a fascist meme" is both true and misleading: when you have several leftist parties that reclaim being "the only true left" for themselves, portraying anything else as evil or stupid, and rightist parties that move further and further to the extreme, and both wings being plagued with moral/financial scandals, you may as well consider that the left/right dichotomy is broken, or that the parties broke it joyfully.

So trying to pave a way with another, maybe more subtle and demanding understanding than just left/right, progress/conservatism, is not completely absurd either. And that, without going necessarily right into fascism.
I think you have a point in terms of choice of symbols, but ultimately... these are just symbolic choices. The nature of politics, usually, is that it defines and harnesses "who we are."

That's kind of what defines politics. EU politics may be where a lot of power is, but it's not where most of the politics is. "Who we are as europeans," beyond a point, isn't a sensible way to start a sentence. No morality tale or symbol of the EU commands that kind of sentiment.

In the US, it's the opposite. State politics might house a lot of power, but the politics is a lot meeker. "Who we are as Californians" commands a lot less sentiment that "as Americans." No one cares who fathered California, or how many constitutions it has had. There isn't much existential anxiety about how California might lose influence relative to Texas.

So, whether it's the constitution of the 5th Republic, founding fathers... it's all just symbols, like a flag, but with more depth. Ancestor tales aren't new. It's rare that they don't play a major role in human culture.

I own a very short gmail.com address which I'm (far too) proud of but it does receive a lot of other people's mail; there are apparently a lot of people called Steve who don't understand how email addresses work.

Someone created and then permanently deleted a Facebook account with my address. Which has permanently locked me out of ever using my email address with Facebook (they block +alias addresses and gmail/googlemail.com too). I use Facebook casually to keep in touch with family/friends and have had to keep an old email account alive just for it. Facebook support are no help.

Maximizing profit and shareholder value is the only thing that matters to the executives, and BOD of Facebook.

Just like tobacco companies, just like Exxon, just like every other company.

I’m baffled by the population’s belief that ANY company will act in any way but it’s own best interest.

Governments are supposed to protect their citizens, but instead have been co-opted by large companies over the threat of job loss, and the population agrees.

Every company will be as absolutely evil as the population allows, and it seems the population of most countries are completely OK with almost any behavior.

Facebook absolutely knows that hacking groups and nation states are using their platform as a mechanism to wage a disinformation war against targeted audiences.

You person standing on a box spewing nonsense amounts to nothing. A person standing on a box spewing nonsense with a crowd garners some attention. A person standing on a box spewing nonsense with a huge crowd garners more attention.

Facebook allows for the virtual creation of a person standing on a box with the appearance of millions and millions of people crowded around. Most people don’t understand the abstract nature of technology and assuming the virtual person is real, and the virtual crowd is real, and since humans are pack animals they just fall in with the virtual pack.

Facebook knows all of this, and they know how to stop it, but stopping it would damage their revenue and profits, and expose them as frauds which would ultimately destroy the company. Not wanting to destroy profits they hand wave, and release statements, but they know full well their platform is nothing but a profit and propaganda machine. Nothing more, nothing less, and the population doesn’t understand, or care. Apparently the masses need their opiates where they can find them.
I think Amazon is actually a different story to a certain extent. Sure, you can delete your account, but at the end of the day you've transacted with them and they can keep a record of who they've transacted with, right? Personally I think it would be unreasonable for me to demand that a shop I buy from delete the record of who purchased it.

Given how much you are curtailing it could be the case that your system is worse off with respect to carbon than if you just used grid electricity. We'd have to do the math but there are large embodied emissions in your pv panels and battery, your curtailing means you are making up for those more slowly.

The US govt. reacted after Communist governments attempted to coopt other countries globally. That is not paranoia.

The opposite of freedom is Communism, which only allows one party, and doesn't and can't tolerate dissent.

Megadosing D3 on the rare occasion is similar to gradually taking normal amounts as far as serum levels go. It's common to see in studies. You wanna be careful doing it without supervision obviously but I don't see why there would be a difference in a study if the hypothesis is that deficiency is causing the sleep problems.

As far as the study goes, it was significant at a p 0.05 level so will wait for replication.
The privacy controls in-app are pretty good with regards to who you share your posts with, etc. but I don't think that's the same type of privacy that causes people to leave.

Why ? for recent transaction, they need to keep it for tax purposes but they have no legal need to keep old records.
International units. OTC quantities tend to be quite low, e.g 300-400 IUs, which aren't sufficient unless you're also getting daily sunlight not through a window. 1000-2000 IU is better - widely regarded as safe and no cases I've ever read of of hypervitaminosis, but it's above usual OTC doses. 4000+ daily is pushing it and I have read of cases of toxicity above that, but if you're struggling to get serum levels up then perhaps it's needed.
Severe (read: Not seasonal, not time of day influenced, not due to e.g. your spouse dying) depression is something you need to go to a therapist for.

Also at least in the EU you're legally mandated to keep transaction history along with customer information for some number of years iirc. Don't know how that combines with gdpr.
This is really interesting. I've definitely been incentivized to return late books sooner than I might have due to fines accruing (and the email reminders that tell me so). But, now that you mention it, I've also probably held onto books longer and not returned sooner bc of the guilt or not knowing what other restrictions on my usage might apply.

What time of day are you taking it?

Anecdotal, but several accounts I heard from people I know (and some I’ve read — even in this HN discussion, but the most n=1 scientific is gwern) indicate you need to take the vitamin D early in the day or it would harm your sleep quality. It also makes sense biologically, given that you need sunlight to generate it yourself.

Again, anecdotal - but detrimental to my sleep if taken after midday. If I can’t take it until 10am, I skip that day

> the 5th French Republic is going well since the 50s, isn't it?

Is it going well, though? There's never been so much inequality, industrial pollution is spreading everywhere (is there even a single river left you can drink in France?!), political corruption has been adopted as governing principle (see also: Jacques Foccart and the Françafrique scandals), law enforcement is plagued by nazism (French police was never denazified after WWII), and the social services De Gaulle was forced (by popular power) to implement have either been dismantled or rendered painful for both workers and users (healthcare/education/housing).

> Basing 21st Century politics on something written in the 18th century is... weird.

I agree in principle, but it's important to realize that the most important social issues we face today (including depletion of resources and pollution) have been fought against for centuries. We have a lot of lessons to learn from the past.
My father used to serve in the Russian strategic rocket forces in the 70s (the nukes basically, which, ironically, would then be pointed straight where I sit today in the US, since we have some decommissioned ICBM shafts straight in the middle of the neighborhood), and they did a much cruder version of these experiments for "fun". They'd kill rats by throwing them into the path of a particularly powerful and massive radar beam. I doubt rats felt comfortable or particularly non-anxious, however, seeing how they'd be dead before hitting the ground after that.
If folks can't go cold turkey I'd suggest unfollowing everyone first. It makes the site much more useful and easier to quit.

And a large part of ChessBase's business model is based on ripping off other people's IP and presenting it as their own [1].

It’s Crazy and Impossible – An Interview with Steve Jobs
A more “back of the envelope“ approach to handling uncertainty for this sort of thing is the “three point estimate” approach, where you give a best, worst, and most likely estimate for each sub task. These points are implicitly used to parametrise a distribution, and then you analytically find the overall uncertainty, rather than through simulation.
DynamoDB is pretty cool tho. You need to know a few limitations and design your data in a certain way but in turn you get like literally unlimited scaling and will never have to worry about overnight success bringing your services down.

No wonder AWS has moved most of it's DB usage over to DynamoDB.

For me its Postgre -> DynamoDB if working on an MVP and then maturing or if the access patterns are well known to begin with then DynamoDB.

One particular thing i love about DynamoDB is the 1 click global tables. I've yet to see anything similarly easy in the SQL world for going global with a database. (Like one AZ in US and one AZ in EU so that every customer gets a low latency)

Also, most of the time if Dynamo is used correctly it costs way less than an RDS instance running Postgre.
Are you sarcastic or do you genuinely not see how those are the same?
Because Amazon still has to have a record of the purchase. It's part of routine recordkeeping laws while running a business.

They could unlink it from your purchase history, but they would still have to maintain the record of the purchase. I believe this is effectively what 'Archiving' order does.
Crazy numbers.
They can suspend your ability to borrow books for one day per each week of being late. Providing slight incentive to return, without preventing low-income people from educating themselves.

Recently late? No more books for you until you return them.

Been late for month? No books for you this week.

Been late for year? No books for you this month and a half.

(This should NOT be multiplied by number of books late)

One difference is that with a deep-fake the target knows it's not real, and is easier to shrug off, at least for themselves. If the target knows it is real then the feeling of shame and embarrassment would be a lot greater for many people (depending on personality and cultural attitudes).

I've always loved the spells in D&D that talk to plants. "You imbue plants within 30 feet of you with limited sentience and animation, giving them the ability to communicate with you and follow your simple commands."

Every casting of the spell is a Flowers For Algernon tragedy, as the plants around you realize they will only be sentient for 10 minutes and then fade back into nothingness.
A similar example with league of legends:

One point of resistance gives 1% effective extra health no matter how much you already have.

100 armor give 50% reduction (100/100+100) while 200 armor give 66% (100/100+200)

The percentage 50 -> 66% is shown ingame and players often think the value per point of armor drops.

What does actually happen is your effective bonus health changes from +100% to +200% and every additional point will be worth the same
