What I want addressed is how we can bust these companies without making the experience worse for consumers or making things less efficient.

A railroad that'd require a toll every mile because you split one company into hundreds wouldn't be viable. If I had to visit multiple web pages to get the same result as a google search, that'd also be bad.

Amazon online shopping has a "monopoly" almost purely because the monopoliness makes it much easier and lower friction than trying to find an online store that is 1) somewhat trustworthy 2) consistent UI 3) ships in a reasonable time 4) isn't going to disappear (and importantly, already has my shipping and payment information). I regularly buy stuff online from elsewhere, but I use Amazon more often because it reduces the cognitive load by centralizing/standardizing everything.

It is likely to happen, yes. It just takes time. Remember, desktop Linux was aimed at tinkerers for gears before it became useable by your average person.

The big difference is that at that time desktop machines had pretty standard hardware, and hardware was largely interoperable, whereas with mobile these guys basically have to develop hardware, set the standard, and software developers have to develop the software specifically for the hardware. It's a lot harder, but if you look at the pace of things since librem and pine started, the development of this is moving at a faster pace than desktop Linux did.
Didn’t get past, “my research team was analysing a new drug called ivermectin.”

I’m not a believer in ivermectin, not non-believer either, but that’s just factually incorrect. It’s not new, it’s been around for ages.

The recent piece in the bbc which “debunked” ivermectin was also a lot of dishonesty and non-science.

As someone who is inclined to think it’s efficacy as a Covid treatment is unproven, what am I to conclude from repeated attempts to dissuade the public and medical establishment from using it, when these attempts are dishonest and built upon lies or rhetorical trickery? The more lies I read which are aimed against ivermectin the more I think it must be effective or why would so many people be lying to say it’s not.

It’s staggering they think the public are so stupid but maybe they’re right. Even Sam Harris, a pretty bright guy, got suckered in by the bbc piece. There was no underlying research, nothing published, not even a preprint. Just the words of a Twitter sleuth who is still in college, but bbc printed it and smart people like Sam Harris jumped on it because it fit their beliefs.
Except we had to change the definition of “working vaccine” to fit these new therapies.

Traditionally a vaccine has to keep efficacy for a year. We haven’t got a year of data but the efficacy has dropped significantly
I really like the Genshi templating language, which TurboGears uses by default. Genshi is a descendent of the Kid templating language, but it uses a (debuggable) streams-based api instead of compiling templates to (undebuggable) Python code. You can use Genshi with Django, of course.

This is so depressing. I have been wondering what makes some people so motivated to push Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine, because for the life of me I just couldn't imagine that some people could care so much, but then it slowly dawned on me that some people have financial interests in fake cures like this, and there is only popular attention for one or two at a time. So these "superstar" meds become memes that are intentionally spread by seriously craven people as part of a pump-and-dump scheme. This is truly
destructive, selfish behavior. It's not just a pump-and-dump scheme where investors--who have chosen to expose themselves to risk by buying in--lose money. This is a pump and dump scheme costing thousands of lives.

The death threats and abuse on top of that...It's just so demoralizing to live in this atmosphere. If we had a functioning justice system it would find these people and charge them with fraud.

>Gun owners are substantially more likely to die of gun violence than non-gun owners.

I'd imagine that people living in areas more prone to gun violence are also more likely to arm themselves.

>the cop's advice to someone facing substantial psychological stress was to "get a gun."

I don't think it's the worst advice, probably could have been delivered with more tact. Having the means of defense gives one agency and can be reassuring. Instead of lying awake hoping no one breaks in, you now focus on how you'd most effectively detect and stop someone breaking in - you're now a player instead of a victim. That said, responsible gun ownership requires knowledge and training, so probably not the best time to suggest gun ownership for the author.

This is the reality today. The device is still developer-only. I just bought one thinking I could ditch my iPhone -- not yet. It's hard knowing that there are no good options besides Android and iOS. I'm aware of de-Googled Android versions but those are less appealing given the Google base. We need an open source solution.
> The anger is justified, such systems can not be allowed to exist.

Comments like this exemplify how entitled and outside reality the tech industry exists. Consider how much it costs to break into the medical or legal fields. It costs thousands of dollars to become a truck driver, though this is often fronted by a prospective employer. Same with becoming a police officer.

Consider instead screen acting where potential employment is often a pipe dream and costs thousands of dollars for a headshot and agent.

Seriously, what other professional career doesn't require some financial investment and personal connections to break in?
> If anyone has issues reading the Django source code, they probably should stay away from software development.

First of all, juniors exist you know that right? Please don't gatekeep.

Second, you're wrong. The Django codebase is overall good quality but if it's "one of the best you ever saw in 20 years" you haven't dug deep. Django has a lot of horrible no good bad awful parts to it. To their credit they tend to improve with age, not get worse, but it's certainly not worthy of such praise imo.

I think they misunderstand what AWS does to be honest.

From the GitHub page:

> M3O is built on existing public cloud infrastructure using managed kubernetes along with our own infrastructure automation

So apparently you can run M3O on AWS? Except it's a bit unclear if you can actually run M3O on your own hardware at all. But part of AWS is also managed Kubernetes, so can you run Kubernetes on M3O on Kubernetes?

At interesting as this looks, it's mislabeled.
I interpreted it as new to them. Similar to how someone will buy a used car and say "I bought a new car". In the context, "new" means "new to me".

Ivermectin isn't new. But using it to treat a coronavirus is.
I never proposed they make it free of charge. I said the best model for their community is free and open source. The point of saying that is to make a contrast with their current predatory model.

And thats why I don't want you quoting me or paraphrasing me. You're putting words into my mouth that I never said or even implied. And once again, I find it extremely insulting.

I'm going to make it clear so you don't do it again. I want then to make an honest business model and to stop this predatory one

I'm not sure if they're really "in business" as such; it gets some very occasional updates for new kernels (last release: 2019), but that's about it. See e.g.: http://ossnext.trueinstruments.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&...

With ALSA, Pulseaudio, and now Pipewire there's not much point really; maybe it's better but that ship has sailed, on Linux anyway. It's become VHS vs. Betamax-kind of lamenting.

Those are numbers that I recall being bandied about in the press when the oil sands were being developed.

I did a search for some actual numbers and they seem to be all over the place depending on the year, the type of bitumen converters being used, the age of the facility and the actual source. Oil industry numbers were about $20 a barrel less than the numbers I was seeing from investment firms.

I suspect that the numbers I was referencing were for new facilities being built back in 2015 or so. There was a lot of talk about new facilities being put into operation but that was when the price of oil was stratospheric.

Those numbers would have been higher than older facilities or upgraded facilities.
If you mean cryptocurrencies or blockchain, you could hardly find a better argument for the efficiency benefits of centralization.
I halfway agree. However in a multi-framework system I don’t have to time to learn the project structure of all my dependencies for quick lookup. Maybe if the Django docs linked to the underlying source code that would be a good compromise?
That seems like an .. extreme reaction.
I just perused through the website (as someone who is diagnosed with Asperger's, now part of the ASD, and may also be underdiagnosed and need to deal with the reality of having ADHD as well), I find it highly suspect that YC would fund this company.

None of what this website claims their website does aligns with any description of CBT for ADHD I've ever seen (either from practitioners, or from good friends of mine who undergo such therapy), and also is rife with "this app helps user do things in a self-directed manner" when having an executive disfunction is at the core of ADHD(!), as if the developers behind this app have never had ADHD and didn't even bother reading Wikipedia, let alone any actual research.

The billing system seems to be incredibly predatory as well, another typical anti-pattern used by companies that try to trap people with mental disorders.

Can someone from YC actually go on record and say this is part of YC S21? I don't see it listed officially from YC anywhere.
You're missing the point. Its not the virus, or about "poisoning us", its the precedent that is being set by the government essentially forcing a new substance injected into the masses.

Any sane person would conceit that a medical decision is to be made by doctors and their patients, not mandated by the government, as every single case and patient is different.

The fact that the government is mandating this (after Biden explicitly said he wouldn't put a mandate in place the way)is extremely dangerous. If they can do this successfully, only time will tell what they'll try next.
Fashion (which values novelty) is a major factor in web design, it stands to reason this preference would spill over to the underlying technical stack as well.

An informative piece, thanks for sharing. (Being tidally locked complicates the situation, I think.)
You could do it the same way you would break up the banks. Just put a tax on companies with more users than e.g. 1M. Instead of a systemic risk tax, make it a data security tax; because once you're past a certain size, the negative externalities caused by a security failure justify the tax.

Every eight to twelve years Calgary goes through a boom and bust cycle. This has been happening forever. There are years where everybody's moving to Calgary and buying rolexes and years where petrochemical engineers are driving taxis.

It seems unlikely that Calgary will get another real boom, though. Now that Alberta's mostly just shipping the northern oil sands off through pipelines there isn't a lot of use in having huge offices there.

Ah, fair enough, got it wrong.
No, I want them to weigh the odds in a rational manner. We have a ton of data and it's been well analyzed at this point, consistently supporting the vaccines being safe and effective.

When asked, the person I was responding to admitted that they didn't do that but were instead relying on “common sense”. If they had some real data, a concern based on some real mechanism which would explain why it's risky for them personally in a way that doesn't show up in the population-level statistics, etc. that could be something to discuss because there would be a claim which could be evaluated scientifically.
The "ruling class" really doesn't have to do anything to keep this aspect of media culture going. If American national politics suddenly became more fair and representative I would argue the same problems would persist. The American people love this shit.
I think both things can be true.

- People try agile but they don't do it right. Then they fail.

- There are A LOT of consultants and managers pushing Agile (Mostly some Scrum practices) but they have absolutely no idea how software engineering works.

But look at the Agile principles. They are pretty good common sense ideas.

Agile was supposed to take the control of the development process and give it back to the practitioners who understand deeply how to write and deliver software.

My favorite Agile principle: "Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility." But that is pretty hard (See https://norvig.com/21-days.html) so people focus on planning poker and having stand ups.
"when a company has a monopoly on a network it... basically becomes a government."

A monopoly functions like a government.

Or inverted: a government functions like a monopoly.

I find both angles interesting.
Secondly, being told why doesn't help as much as you would think. That itself is another meta discussion. People won't take the why as given. They will want to argue it, challenge the qualifications of others, and you can go down the list. It all happens.

People I see taking that feedback to contemplate is rare.

The number one reason why people want to be told why so they can argue their case. And that's what's going to trigger The Meta.

On Quora this problem happened and a bunch of us created a court where someone could appeal downvotes, and sort of argue their case. That discussion would involve feedback to the person who got downvoted, and if it all didn't warrant being downvoted, a whole bunch of people would up vote, basically correcting a wrong.

It was a super interesting exercise in the genuine ambiguity text communication has. The fact is we really can't determine intent from text. People can, and we'll take things all sorts of interesting and crazy ways.

And whether they are correct in doing that or not, the discussion to sort it out is laborious and time-consuming.

Now I will tell you, a bunch of people working hard on this problem and sort out a disagreement or downvote that shouldn't have happened. And maybe a third of those were worthy exercises in that the person who initiated the process took away something that genuinely help them to improve.

Another big percentage, were just fixing bad down votes. But it cost a lot to do that.

The rest were fairly painful meta discussions. Unproductive.

No the reason that all made some sense on Quora was the downvotes had Fairly severe consequences and fairly rapidly.

Here, it's not such a big deal. Anyone who makes more good decisions about what they say and not will gain karma. That's all that's required.

So rather than Stones, it's more like little Pebbles.

Frankly, the easiest way to get past this here is to just not worry about it, and try to be a good human.

In a lot of cases, people who get some downvotes here probably weren't trying their best to be good human. If they try harder they get less downvotes. Good As It Gets.

If there are serious problems with Ivermectin clinical trials, this kind of fraud would have more consequences for treating people with parasitic infections than it does for whether it is used in some covid treatment protocols around the world. Between this Guardian article and the Nature article on the harassment of scientists, it sounds like a co-ordinated narrative shift to provoke public feelings of anxiety. Arguing about dumb things neutralizes people from engaging on the important ones, and co-ordinated histrionic appeals to safety are a standard playbook distraction.

Surely this politically neutral civilian scientist was harassed by the unvaccinated, the kind of people who are why we also need to end online anonymity, as people with "civil liberties" objections are mostly a violent mob, and vaccine passports are really about protecting society from the violence of the uneducated./s

If that bit of sarcasm seems uncharitable, it is for the sake of brevity. We're at the stage where mandates and resistance to them are colliding, and the tactics employed to push through policies that exploit the pandemic are going to include disingenuous agitprop in outlets like the Guardian, and apparently, Nature. The only effective response to that kind of bullshit is truth, and the most effective vessel for truth is humor because it's an honest signal.
Can confirm: subscribed, never used it, and was charged $102 a week later. I was issued a refund after requesting one through the app store.

> The average cost of an in-person ADHD CBT session in the US is $200-300 ($10k-$16k/year).

This is not true at all. If anyone is considering ADHD therapy, please do not let such misleading figures dissuade you.

For anyone with insurance, the average cost of a therapy session is often as little as a $15-25 copay. You could get 4-6 in-person, personalized therapy sessions with an experienced provider for the same price as the annual fee of this app, depending on your insurance.

Even self-pay therapists don't charge $200-300 unless you look at the most expensive cities like NYC [1]. The average self-pay cost is going to be closer to $125 in most regions, though providers often have what's called "sliding scale" charges for low-income patients that go much lower.

The $10K-$16K per year figure is also extremely misleading. In the United States, the annual out-of-pocket maximum for an insurance plan is capped at $8,700 for an individual in a given year [2]. Mental and behavioral healthcare is covered as an essential health benefit [3]. It's not possible to spend $16K per year on any services unless you attend providers that don't accept insurance, which is exceedingly rare. Don't let any apps scare you away from professional services by quoting unbelievably high numbers.

If anyone is considering therapy, please visit your health insurance website and check the cost. Don't be discouraged by anyone trying to sell you alternatives. For most people with insurance (including government health insurance in the United States), several sessions are going to be cheaper than this app and will also provide more personalized, in-person care.

But you'd need to get tested for every minor sniffle, or if the claim about no symptoms being a time of maximum viral load, you'd have to constantly get tested even without symptoms.
Never say never, but I'm not optimistic for it. The biggest issue is app compatibility. Even with a huge budget and namesake like Microsoft Windows, you can see how Microsoft's mobile OS projects have essentially disappeared when trying to compete against iOS and Android. Maybe someone will get Android apps running natively on a Linux distro, but then you're still missing the unlicensed framework around Google Play that breaks many existing popular apps.

We also don't even have this with desktops or laptops today. CPUs are still proprietary and running closed-source software. On mobile it's even more locked down, where I can almost guarantee you will never have open software running on baseband controller or SIM card on any public network like Verizon.
