I agree with the spirit of the rule but that seems too restrictive to freedom to contract. I feel like there will always be a market solution for peripherals where someone is selling them unrestricted. With VR is the issue not that the business model itself is still not good so FB was kind of subsidising the Oculus? If VR were highly profitable it seems like other companies with less restrictive terms would come in.
I don't think so. Speaking as a Rust dev, if you want to do anything slightly different from how things currently work, you need to change the types, which can be a major hassle.
“Everything will be radically different in 500 years to an extent that might strain our imaginations” seems about right.

I’d go so far as to wager that if you time traveled back to 1521 and brought somebody to the present, they’d find it to be alien as well. Of course to verify my thesis I’d have to teach my 1521 passenger the current meaning of “alien” and the rules about my intended interpretation of my blog post to make my point clear to them.
I think you're probably right that most of them are out. But some have been held under 23-hour lockdown the whole time, for trials not expected to begin until next year.

Yes, and it's false advertising and an assholes move wether it's Tamron or Apple doing it.
I think you are being very misleading here. Its not a conspiracy theory pharma company's care far more about profits than our health. In fact I would say there is a lot of strong evidence to support this. Google any pharma company name followed by settlement or fine. Pfizer has payed billions in fines for a variety of reason including bribing doctors and misleading regulators with fake data.

Its also worth noting Pfizer is making a killing. Google Pfizer profits 2021. They have something like 90% growth at the moment.

I would say Big Pharma 100% has an agenda to push. They want you to take their drugs so they make money (like any company). In this case its a vaccine. They don't care if you have had covid they want the money.

However in my opinion this is not some new behavior. This is exactly how they have always acted. Look at the opioid crisis.
What’s the best way to play with F# that feels natural for a Python programmer?

I really like having my screen split down the middle (tmux), with code on the left (“vim code/“) and program output on the right (“watch-exec code/ — python -mcode”).

Every time I change a file in code/, watch-exec runs the program again.

Doing this with dotnet run seems to take a full 2 to 4 seconds to run though, which seems pretty heavyweight. It’s obviously not the best way to interactively edit a file of code. What is?

"Chief Technical Pilot" is not a role listed amongst the dozens of executive council roles and vice president roles at Boeing[1].

What about the following executive roles listed at [1]:

* Chief Aerospace Safety Officer

* Chief Compliance Officer

* Chief Engineer

* Vice President, Total Quality, Boeing Commercial Airplanes

* Vice President and Chief Engineer, Boeing Commercial Airplanes

* Vice President, Manufacturing and Safety

Are there more indictments on the way? It doesn't sound plausible that a "Chief Technical Pilot" at Boeing should be ultimately responsible for signing off engineering designs for MCAS, signing off on the System Safety Analysis for MCAS, signing off on manuals to be provided to pilots that omitted MCAS, signing off on training materials that omitted MCAS, ensuring quality assurance across all of the above, signing off on verification and validation of MCAS, etc. There is a large team of people signing off on these processes and documents. Per [2], "The chief pilot is among the leaders who must concur that an airplane is flightworthy before the company proceeds with a flight."

If I'm wrong and the chief pilot for an aircraft class is indeed ultimately responsible for its design, engineering, testing, training, certification and everything else, why is this situation possible? Is there no independent quality assurance and auditing?

It's likely that vaccination does reduce transmission.

How come stuff always gets reduced to categorical descriptions?

Like "prevent" is a pretty high bar, but things are still a lot better if you cut transmission by 50%.
There are many. Like I said, I an not making this up. Remember they funded a bunch of kids right out of college whose "startup" was a calendar widget for MacOS menu bar? Here's their Launch HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26425318

That is just one example. Just go over the very recent Launch HNs from this year (there were multiple threads) and you will find many more.

Isn't the reason that women perform better than men at ultra long-distance swimming that they're more buoyant and it's such a long-distance / low metabolic rate pursuit that structural efficiency (more buoyant body) is the dominant factor of performance?

I swam in college competitively through the NCAA level and this was the accepted wisdom amongst my peer cohort.

If this is the case, respectfully, I don't see it in conflict with the thesis presented by the two articles cited in the OP Twitter thread that got banned (i.e., that people who went through puberty as males have a categorical advantage in athletic pursuits over those who went through puberty as females).

If it is not, I'd be interested to learn what's actually going on! A very interesting outlier to be sure.
Supply Chain Looms as Serious Threat to Batteries' Green Reputation (2018)
The oppression is being barred from travel, work, and many aspects of public life. If you strip away your opinions about the risk and benefits of vaccination and look at the people not vaccinated as a group agnotistically, they are being oppressed more and more each week, and many of them have better antibodies than the vaccinated at this point.

What will you do if the government mandates you to take a drug for similar justifications one day, but you actually honestly do not think it is safe for you? Do you think this precedent even if we assume good intentions is a good slope to be eagerly sliding down? What if we find drug interactions or other correlated variables that harm people who take it, or evidence comes along that affect your decision but the government disagrees? How much do you trust the authorities to navigate this, and how much are you willing to give up to them if you are one day on the non-consensus side?
B12 is the only one that is commonly talked about needing to be supplemented as a vegan; though in Australia if you consume Soy milk, you likely already get enough as it is fortified with it.

A second big thing to highlight is the study disclosure at the bottom of this article. Four of the six authors "have previously received funding from the Beef Checkoff, through the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association."

Here's the full CDC brief[1]. The short version: your religious belief generally has to be "sincerely held" (which means that you don't get to pick and choose which vaccines you take based on political winds). Some states have even stronger constraints, including you to present an affidavit and demonstrate that your religious beliefs are not merely an extension of some misguided personal belief.

It’s worth looking into the relationship between carbohydrate consumption and mental health. Many people report a significant mental health benefit from using fat rather than carbohydrates as the primary energy source. Works for me, too.

Seems to be the trend; panned by critics, mostly liked by the average consumer. I didn’t think it was that great, as I think most would agree, compared to his other standups (or other Netflix specials e.g Nate Bargatze). Watched it tho.
That, and the study is straight up funded by the beef industry which makes me pretty suspect.

A 200$ used up Sony Nex-3 with a 200$ Mitakon macro will do a much better job. I agree the iPhone is still convenient, but if your goal is to save money, not upgrading and buying a cheap camera is still going to have better results at a lower price, at the expense of convenience.
This is not quite similar because there are VR headsets from several manufacturers that don't come with a mandatory social network login attached. (in fact FB is the only one that does)

Even with Android vs iOS, they aren't quite the same because Android clearly gives you more control and freedom as a consumer. If you care about any of this at least don't buy the worse offender.
A far more believable source would be a university studying causes of depression. Literally anyone else not profiting off meat would be more believable though.
AFAIK YC didn't incubate that idea - it was a later development.

The less animals products you buy the lower the demand. Have enough people reduce meat consumption and fewer animals will be bred and killed. It's not about "resurrecting the cow".

> Boeing did not instruct pilots to make sure to neutralize trim first using electric trim before doing the stab trim cutout.

Yes, they did:

"Initially, higher control forces may be needed to overcome any stabilizer nose down trim already applied. Electric stabilizer trim can be used to neutralize control column pitch forces before moving the STAB TRIM CUTOUT switches to CUTOUT. Manual stabilizer trim can be used before and after the STAB TRIM CUTOUT switches are moved to CUTOUT."

https://theaircurrent.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/B737-MA...

Note also that the EA pilots had already successfully overridden and restored normal trim twice with the electric trim switches.

(I added the emphasis on "before".)

My home server uses Fedora. I've upgraded it on every release, from Fedora 29 all the way to 34 today. I've been dailying the 35 beta on my desktop and it's been great so far as well.
I only intimately know the numbers here in Ontario, and here I can see that the vaccines are extremely effective for the people who take them.

All through the last two months, case counts went up to 10, 11, 12 cases / 100k (high for us) for the unvaccinated. For the fully vaccinated they stayed under 2 / 100k.

Even clearer for hospitalization and ICU admission. In the middle of September, 4.7/100k hospitalization rate for the unvaccinated. For the fully vaccinated, 0.38/100k.

The issue isn't the ineffectiveness of the vaccines. It's the fact that there's still hundreds of thousands, millions, of people unvaccinated. And the virus ran like wildfire through them, despite the rest of us doing our part.

Herd immunity from natural exposure is dangerous and isn't going to happen. A year and a half on, only 4% of the population here has tested positive.

FWIW my parents in Alberta lost 4 friends/acquaintances to COVID just in the past month. Only 2 of them were over 65. All were unvaccinated, devoutly religious & conservative, and dogmatic about their antivax/anti-mask positions.
Sure, but it signals demand for future cows.

The democratic party famously screwed over VP Wallace in a highly rigged convention (so power leaders could get relative neophyte Truman in)

Rumors are the mob delivered the election for Kennedy; even those historians who argue otherwise essentially characterize it as the democratic party stealing the election "An order from the mob to work for Kennedy only insured a total Chicago effort of the kind that historically had been known to work miracles in the early-morning hours of vote counting"

Lyndon Johnson famously stole his 1948 senate election

I actually love the idea, and feel that it is the epitome of American Capitalism, "vote with your wallet" and all that.

It feels as one of those things that will deffinitely work, but the current culture won't allow it. Similarly to how if someone today invented "firefighting" as a social good, people would be outraged of having to pay to extinguish somebody else's fire.
Because different people have different expectations for a given product and some level of expertise is required to understand basic requirements which most people don't have.

For instance most people don't know what is an acceptable level for various pollutants in drinking water. As such if there was no government oversight most people would be happy drinking poluted water and the few that care wouldn't be serviced as the cost of cleaning water for a niche wouldn't make it profitable. But hopefully we have laws that dictate safe levels and vendors have to respect them.

For hardware it's the same, experts are pretty clear about the risks: at the most basic level if hardware stop to function when some server crash then the whole society becomes dependant on this and as such any outages starts to have catastrophic consequences by domino effect. On the spying activity linked to those accounts the risk is pretty clear as well: it opens people to leaks of intimate details about their life to Facebook employees and various hackers in case of failure.

So it seems clear that public safety would require making those two activities illegal.
I would like to share a Twitter thread that I think encapsulates why people are upset with Netflix’s decision to platform Chappelle’s hate speech.

It is not about offense. Hate speech evokes and normalizes hate in the real world, including violence, rape, and murder.

This isn’t about special snowflakes getting their feelings hurt, it’s about people justifiably feeling like they are not safe to walk down the street without being harassed, assaulted, or killed.

Think about what has happened to many Asian Americans in the past months after hateful remarks received air time. When hate is normalized in media, hate is normalized in life.

1) This turns professional networks, which operate on the basis of reputation and goodwill, into toxic and exploitative MLM-style cash grabs.

2) This reinforces the already prevalent social phenomenon in which well-connected people with rich friends get all the opportunities.
I like the idea of asking colleagues to pay me so that I leave (get a new job). It also really gives me the perverse incentive to be an arsehole to them so that they will pay me more to leave?

This page is really lame propaganda and is using the typical lazy emotionally manipulative arguments I've come to expect from vegans. For instance:

>Humans are omnivores:

> This is still debated in the scientific community. There’s a substantial amount of evidence pointing towards us being herbivores, or at least scavengers (like rats, who eat meat after the animal’s been killed by other predators).

Scavengers that eat meat and vegetable matter are omnivores; omnivore does not imply predator. Rats are omnivores even if you don't count scavenging for some reason; they kill and eat smaller rodents and bugs. Lots of animals are scavengers, including many that don't have negative reputations as vermin; bears are a great example. Humans in the modern era also scavenge; lots of people in America eat roadkilled deer. Arguably, buying meat from a store is 'scavenging' too since somebody else killed it.

In two mere sentences this 'refutation' creates a false dichotomy and tries to exploit biases against rats and scavenging. Really lame.
If you feel it's acceptable that having money/networks of people with money would give people an advantage in the world, the shock is understandable. However, others are vehemently opposed to the world working like this and anything that contributes to such a world, like this business idea.

Also:

1) unless you think it will be very common that people with money will take up sponsoring minorities for jobs, the fact that you personally would do it doesn't counteract the disadvantage of minorities in general through this system, and

2) if you want to pay to help people from underrepresented groups get jobs, there are already plenty of ways to do so, from sponsoring education to hiring interview coaches, and more.
B12 is fun. Livestock is supplemented with B12.

Meat-based diets need their meat to be actively supplemented with B vitamin sources.

If you're a carnist but live on nutrient-poor junk food, I could see nutritional deficiencies entering the mix. I think it's relatively uncontroversial that malnutrition has mental health side effects.
Familial wealth has a compounding follow on effect in opportunity and wealth growth. A huge part of current economic disparities is likely attributable to these policies, and subsequent discrimination that's reinforced by entrenched poverty.

Let's not fall all over ourselves defending the manufacture of plastics.. it's a self-justifying dinosaur industry. We can go a lot farther with cellulose and chitin and friends, polymers made in factories aren't particularly special from a chemical structure/function standpoint-- unlike PFAS type stuff, their bioincompatibility is just due to our laziness. The big advantage with plastics is that we're good at making/shaping/customizing them quickly and cheaply. It can very much all be done with biocompatible/harmless chemicals. That it isn't, is an accident of history: the early Chemistry research that produced the synthetic polymers used today made no attempt whatsoever to be biocompatible.. everything since has built on that, and not enough collective fuck has been given to dismantle and rebuild that infrastructure.

And just to get out ahead of it-- can we also not blame plastic consumers, who after all are just trying to eat, and probably don't want to poison themselves.
Spinoza was writing at a time when it was easy to become exiled or dead for publishing material that doesn’t align with the mainstream religious position. So some degree of the religious comfort aspect of his work can arguably be more of a practical necessity to get his ideas published in the first place.
Logitech recently(?) released software plainly called "Onboard Memory Manager." In their own words:

OnBoard Memory Manager (OMM) is a utility for pro gamers to quickly configure the on-board memory profiles of compatible Logitech G mice by adjusting DPI, report rate, assignments, and by enabling the pairing/unpairing of devices. In an effort to meet the critical requirements for tournament use, OMM does not install itself, does not leave files on your drive(s), and does not access the internet. While OMM is used for on-board memory settings, additional device settings and customization are available through G HUB.

The current version is a little buggy with configuring the different DPI modes on my mouse (which I was disabling anyway), but I'm glad it exists. Thanks, pro gaming tournaments!
