> "It is yet to be proven" means, quite literally, anyone who looked into it never saw it work, ever. At all.

[yet].

There are studies ongoing. Not in the anti-vaxxer "I'm still doing research" sense, but in the sense that there are actual non-Facebook studies ongoing. Even that AP fact checker article mentions that.

When the context says there are studies ongoing and yet to be proven is mentioned, it means that the conclusion has not been drawn.

In isolation, when yet to be proven is written with no other context, it means what you interpreted: that nobody has ever seen it work, and we need a nice way to say that.

The fact checker and this conversation both accurately conveyed how different ivermectin is from what Pfizer is developing: the compounds are different, the molecules are different, everything is different. They don't say the result is different. Ivermectin - a completely different compound and molecule - has a hypothesis and limited result showing it functions as a protease inhibitor. It does omit where there are similarities being studied and what those hypothesis are.

This is actually new information to me and I found that looking for a response to you. This isn't about Ivermectin or laughing at Republicans turn their whole states blue from a lack of oxygen as well as the remaining population, its just about what is omitted from the fact checking article.
Plone is second last in my "list of platforms I enjoyed writing code for when working at a wanky web agency".

How does it work with face masks?
I would certainly understand that argument if the individuals involved benefited financially from HCQ or ivemectin being used. It seems these are generic drugs however with relatively low margins so that line of thinking isn't very convincing.

I wrote this [1] four years ago. It shows how to break up FAANG by making their biggest asset, their data, transparent and regulated. And you would get a check from it.

Imagine your consuming history on Amazon in a company by itself, you own dividend-paying shares, and if you don't like their policies, you can take the data elsewhere, or keep it private.

Anyone who wants to use it, including "Amazon" itself, has to pay Amazon Data for it, and they can only use it for approved purposes, all public.

The history of the Internet in FAANG becomes a regulated asset, like a power plant. The "free market" would make much better use of all this data than FAANG itself does now. They are bloated bureaucracies who don't even realize what they have.

Would FAANG scream? Sure, but they would own massive (but not controlling) shares of the FAANG Data companies, so as Larry Page says in my "interview" it works out well for them, too.

> many people are actually better off with a notion of god in their inner life for their psychological wellbeing

Much in the sense that lonely children are better off with an imaginary friend, but they're expected to outgrow that as they mature and become well adapted to their environment.

Keeping the imaginary friend trades one psychological issue for another.
We're using Nomad for our backend at Singularity 6 (developing the mmo Palia).

In my experience (having worked with Nomad, k8s, mesos, and homegrown schedulers), k8s is fantastic from an early developer experience, but rough from an operations perspective. It's definitely gotten better, but there's a reason lots of folks want to have someone else host and operate their cluster.

Nomad is the opposite. Less tooling and bit more complexity for the app developer, significantly easier to operate at the cluster level. Nomad is also less "all-in" in it's architecture, which gives operators more flexibility in how they design and support the cluster.

The fact that we can run on anything and don't _have_ to use containers is a serious advantage, particularly for game development.
I guess I'll have to give Crystal a try then. My two favorite languages are C and Ruby. :)
I wrote that parent comment with Louis CK in mind. He’s hilarious and needs comedian protection.

The line in the sand is where you break a law or are sued and taken to court. The penalty is the legal result of breaking the law or the settlement/verdict from court. Trial by mob is never the appropriate response.
> a really great way to confuse yourself would be to abstract the entire question of consciousness away from the life sciences and then wonder why you're so confused

Yes, exactly. Which is a direct challenge to transhumanism because it means that maybe it actually won't be possible to achieve immortality via brain upload, or build general AI (without first solving the life science "problem", i.e. building an artificial body), and so on.
And third, discussions are at least two way affairs.

Often, moderation is seen as the objective parent that keeps everything in bounds.

The reality is, our individual boundaries very considerably.

We all have a shared responsibility to not allow discussions to go bad, and how we respond to text we don't like determines whether they go bad.

Fact is, very few of my discussions go bad, because I don't allow it. Importers not allowing it is not worrying about the downvotes, and instead focus on what I can control. And I control me, not anyone else in the discussion.

Someone tells me to fuck off here for example, I'm going to ask him why. I'm also going to advise him to edit that away before they get down voted, because we've got more productive things to talk about.

There are many similar ways to handle these things, in very few people actually employ them.

I feel spending time on that is as productive, if not more than time on more effective moderation.
Everyone is kind of right here. I'd phrase it this way. R administrations expand the attacks on journalists (and everyone who exposes Gov wrongdoing) that were done by previous D administrations.

Trump's method to reduce accountability was to nurture animosity specifically against journalism. Behind the scenes, his admin's revenge on whistleblowers carried on pretty much the same as his predecessors.

My long position is that US press coverage has been continually (but not exclusively) deferential to authoritarianism. We see that US coverage of unconstitutional executive domestic actions is often nonexistent, until whistleblowers drag news orgs into doing their jobs (Mark Klein's evidence of NSA+AT&T collusion wasn't enough to overcome the giant press yawn. Snowden's mountain of evidence was impossible to ignore.)

The US press is somewhat better at covering the misdeeds of R administrations than of D administrations (eg: US coverage of Holder's efforts to target journalists was muted, at best.) The difference is primarily a matter of competence. We've proven repeatedly that focusing on bias instead of ineptitude just leads to the 'view from nowhere'.
Surprised htmx isn't mentioned more in the comments.

I'm using it with Janet for a side project, really liking it so far. Writing server-side html with a hiccup-like library is very nice! :)

I can understand disabling the comments section, but for playlists I would've expected that you could only make playlists with all videos from the kids section, or if you add a kids video to a regular playlist, then that playlist can't be played in YT Kids.

But not being able to add a kids video to my own playlist, being an adult and such, seems... incoherent.
I believe that the one that requires containers is Kubernetes. Nomad doesn't require containers, it has a number of execution backends, some of which are container engines, some of which aren't.

Nomad is the single binary one, however this is a little disingenuous as Nomad alone has far fewer features than Kubernetes. You would need to install Nomad+Consul+Vault to match the featureset of Kubernetes, at which point there is less of a difference. Notwithstanding that, Kubernetes is very much harder to install on bare metal than Nomad, and realistically almost everyone without a dedicated operations team using Kubernetes does so via a managed Kubernetes service from a cloud provider.
>1080p feels like the baseline in 2021.

The lower end Android market is still dominated by 720p(ish) phones. Especially the sub $150 market. Having used a few of them I don't think its an issue. Especially when you get a phone with a 720 screen, a modern low end efficient octo-core SoC, and a 4000mAh battery. The 3-4 days of battery life feel like you've gone back in time 15 years to cellphones lasting most of the week again.
I would argue there was already a reasonably hardware target - the biggest thing was (for me) the modem. It was power-hungry, dropped signal, and for some people, didn't work with VoLTE. The Pro uses the same modem, meaning hardware support has been improving for the last two years :)
In 6 months there have been tons of progress yes. Though I didn't have any issue with the touchscreen 6 months ago so your issue might lies elsewhere. You should try reflashing completely yours with Mobian or another well-supported OS.
You're baptized while you're a child, and the use of tales and short stories is pretty common for plenty of subjects when ever you want to teach children.

The main idea is to pass down moral values.

I can't speak for others but I find it very hard for people to hold on to the literal content of the bible with today's education. Some might believe in the man in the sky, others might stand by just doing what they think is the right thing to do in the framework that was passed on to them, others turn to it in very difficult times because there's nothing else to hold on to and that gives them hope/peace/comfort.

I say this as someone who had catholic upbringing, took those classes for baptism and first communion. Yet I don't consider myself a catholic, still it was part of the context where I grew up.
Tether Fined $41M for Lying About Reserves
I do understand that people who are afraid of social contact order everything online and never leave their computer. I highly recommend going to a doctor - they have pills for extreme cases of social anxiety now which will after many years of therapy allow you to function as part of society. There's nothing to be afraid of little one. You can be normal, with a lot of time and a lot of help from qualified medical professionals.
This shouldn't shock anyone. This is nearly every major city in America. You often have very nice areas directly next to crappy areas.

> That said, I haven't read the announcement closely but wonder why they used the "Pro" moniker. Just say it's the new version of the PinePhone? What problem does naming it "Pro" solve?

I think they wanted to avoid (unsuccessfully, it seems) people thinking it's the "new" Pinephone. Rather, as I understand it both will be sold at the same time, and one is just more powerful than the other.
Both of these drugs are generic. There’s no more financial incentive to push these than to push Aspirin or Advil.

The archive utility, when run as the backup user, cannot read the file but it can read file metadata or have a database of backup state so it knows where to send differential backups.

The archive utility, run as the recover user, can only read the file.
Fair point about a lot of this. But if you want to make it fair, you're going to have to include the hardware costs of all the mining machines for the upkeep of Bitcoin.

Furthermore, it doesn't seem appropriate to include the "cost" of Visa's customer support - since it's a service that Bitcoin doesn't provide. Fuel for money trucks isn't likely to be different if the ATMs were not there - there is already money trucks moving around, and a few pounds of cash extra do virtually no 'damage'. etc.
Oh yes, everything was built by NASA.

That's a big writeup and with a lot to address.

No, it does not align with my sentiment. I don't think an Indian should be differently treated than say an Australian based on not just their skin color, or what the Indian and Australian governments say or do, but also on them being indians or Australians. That's not a deliberate choice they made, and should not be a facet of having a different treatment for them.

Although, as you said, Indians would like India to give Americans easy access to India, but India might still not do it, because it wants to prevent brain drain.
If you could guarantee that a homeless person were to stay in that city then it'd make sense. I doubt that's feasible though. The benefit a state ID allowing you to vote in state elections could potentially allow someone to do is vote for candidates that would have a state-wide policy on homelessness, rather than just local.

When I came to California it was kind of funny that I was able to vote in local elections immediately. I hardly knew anything about the area, what could I possibly vote for?
Yes, I found this very surprising. Calgary is as car centric as any average American city and yet they had amazing footpaths and shining public transit. To be fair, their infrastructure is much newer and they don't really have a crime/homeless problem
I've always thought some of it stems from the nomenclature and the cultures that flow from it. A lot of people (reasonably) don't think the best architecture for their application is a "single page". But many of those same people nonetheless have (often large) portions of their application that benefit from complex client side interactivity. But the whole thing can seem really all or nothing, either you have a "single page application" that does everything client side or you do everything through html from the server. Of course in practice everybody does some hybrid in between these two extremes. But the apparent split creates a cultural battle between the extremes, which is not helpful.
Yes, I did not even consider that angle.

And yes, nomad recommends 3 - 9 nodes in prod, maybe 11 or 13. The 3 are necessary to be able to tolerate one broken/maintained node and maintain the ability to schedule workloads.

You can increase the number of tolerated nodes by increasing the number of nodes - 5 tolerate 2, 9 tolerate 3, 11 tolerate 5, 13 tolerate 6, but raft becomes slower with more nodes, because raft is a synchronous protocol.

However, it is entirely possible to run a single node nomad system, if the downtime in scheduling is fine.
> The greatest killer in this pandemic has been our idiotic conformance to one of the two equally imbecilic but diametrically opposed narrative tribes.

Are you referring to:

a) the tribe that advocates listening to public health experts, follow basic health and safety precautions, and take a vaccine to mitigate or even eliminate the risk presented by the pandemic, and

b) the tribe that reacts to any guidance from public health experts with hostility and threats of violence, pushes an anti-intellectual agenda, pushes pseudo-treatments that are at best not known to work or at worst a health hazard, and tries to fill in the gap between their beliefs and reality with conspiracy theories?

I'm not sure that both "sides" are comparable.

> Wu argues that the very bigness of present-day companies — especially those in the tech sector — does not just harm consumers, but that it also threatens innovation and undermines the power of government.

Absolutely. The fact that the government's power is being subverted should not be lost going forward with any related discussions. Along the same lines, The Media's status quo is also being banged up. These well established power bases aren't going to surrender without doing battle.

Mind you, I'm not defending Big Tech. Having recently read the robust and extremely thorough "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism" I'd be foolish to pick sides.

https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/segments/living-und...

The arc of the point is, viewing current events with a 20th Century lens is foolish at best. There is a lot going on. Some of it obvious, but far more is covert / stealth.
Hey, the only people we have to convince that it's not hacking are the insurance companies. When they start charging their clients for their absurd levels of risk and liability, we'll start to see actual change.
Yeah, I remember reading a lot about those playlists, and I understasnd that can be pretty disturbing or upsetting if you as a parent assume that a playlist is "safe".

However if YT already has the ability to mark videos as for kids-only, I have no idea why wouldn't they be able to restrict playlists that contain even a single video that is not kids-only.

I.e. if you want to have a YT Kids' playlist, then all videos need to be YT Kids.

But the other way around (i.e. a regular playlist with some YT Kids videos) seems irrational.
I have come to a conclusion lately that there is no free lunch. You either optimize and increase risks (of system becoming monopoly like rail roads in the past, or busting like mortgage companies in 2007-8, government becoming tyranny, something like that) or you pay for inefficiencies. I think the free market is really about finding a balance between optimizations and risks. If the company is too optimized and carries significant risk - eventually, it will bust. If the marker is not efficient because of transactions volume - a larger company will inevitably emerge (and if it continues to grow - eventually bust)

EDIT: what really worries people about monopolies is that it takes more than a generation to see these companies bust. And to, again, optimize it, we come up with antitrust laws... But any optimization, in my opinion, costs risks and never is free (as in lunch).
I found out the other day that it isn't uncommon in some countries (China, India) for metro systems to have security lines, which to me just sounds like a great reason to drive instead.
To piggy back on your comment...

Free markets only exist because of regulation.

It's regulation that allows actors to participate in good faith, and not get smoked by the huge whales and owners of exchanges, etc.

Generally a government is the entity with a monopoly on force. That is why things like drug cartels or the mafia are so poisonous to the body politic.
This right here. I own an e-commerce business, and I sell on Amazon, but I do about 10x the revenue on my own site that I do on Amazon.

I'm in no way unique in this regard - for all of the talk of how much Amazon dominates e-commerce, the reality is that it's never been easier to successfully run your own e-commerce site (just look at Shopify's market cap).

Sure, if you're selling totally commoditized goods that's a different story, but even there you've got substantial enough web presences from retailers like Walmart and Target that Amazon still can't reasonably be called a monopoly.
As an ex-scientist, I’m sad to say this is true of most research. It starts in grad school- your research is most likely going to advance an agenda set by your professor. Then when you apply for a post-doc your network consists of collaborators who think like your professor and are more familiar with your work. Same thing with applying for a tenure-track position. In my sub-field I could tell what line of thought a paper was going to advance just by reading the list of schools that the authors came from.

The idea of the pioneering research who establishes a reputation through novel work and rigorous experiments is mostly a myth. You advance when your peers like your work, which creates all the wrong incentives.
That's basically because they outsourced the design to a cheap chinese smartphone manufacturer. It was definitely the right choice as the Pinephone has basically zero hardware issues, unlike the Librem 5 or even the Fairphone.
Another one?

Nomad and kubernetes were released within months of each other in 2015. This isn't new.
> The point is, people are seeing that things do not add up.

That's because they are ridiculous. Side effects from the vaccine are caused by the body's immune response, because the vaccine literally only contains code for the spike protein. Guess what happens when you actually get infected with the live virus? An immune response.

It's about 99.9% likely that the people who had such adverse reactions to the vaccine would have had as bad (or worse!) reactions to being infected with COVID. Not to mention the actual damage caused by the virus!

The basic fact escaping them has turned this into a giant theatrical production in service of political ends....like everything these days.

You can try to "both sides" this, but it's explicitly one side opposing vaccines. One side pushing snake oil cures. One side saying the pandemic is a non-issue which only kills 1-3% of people as hundreds of thousands of their neighbors die painful deaths. Enlightened centrism is as bad as partisan ignorance here.
> The greatest killer in this pandemic has been our idiotic conformance to one of the two equally imbecilic but diametrically opposed narrative tribes.

This is /r/EnlightenedCentrism bullshit.

Only one side is completely ignorant of the scientific studies and statistics showing the effectiveness of vaccines and the ineffectiveness of Ivermectin. Only one side has decided to start gargling iodine because they think it'll treat COVID. Only one side rallied behind someone who suggesting injecting bleach and disinfectant.
Has there been, in the last few decades, any concerns about the validity of the Visa transactions?
A social network is a natural monopoly due to the network effect. It wouldn't make any sense to split it up. Regulating it like any other natural monopoly could make sense.

Amazon is certainly not an online shopping monopoly. It's just a superior service. I can get a similar online shopping experience from Wal Mart and many others. If Amazon can offer us such good service through having its own big network of warehouses, drivers, etc. that's impossible with a bunch of smaller companies then I say let them be as big as they are so long as they don't egregiously abuse it.
