He can take whatever medication he wants. His position as a mainstream celebrity spouting these dangerous anecdotal stories as if they are canon without any medical recommendation or FDA oversight besides random individuals he chooses as a doctor (read: he pays them to give them what he wants) is what puts CNN and any other news organization in the right contextually.

Yeah, I feel like people who pose those questions never really get beyond the initial premise of 'no countries now, we're free, great!'

Without countries, inevitably small clans or tribes would form to protect their interests, and those would join with or split with others until well, you can guess where we'd end up. Basically just countries again, likely redistricted.

What a storm for this parched land.
Masks really don t work.
Yes, I understand this. What I don't understand is the expectation that I outlined above: wherein the abuser does not understand or notice the gesture, but the people on the other end of the line do both notice and understand the gesture. This seems _very_ unlikely, and if the abuser _does_ notice and understand the symbol, will only put the person being abused in more danger. So again, I don't understand the utility of this.

As you said:

> And is even a 1% chance worth your life?

Is the 1% chance that the abuser sees and understands the symbol worth your life?
Great piece. This starts out talking about a silly conspiracy theory, and after solving that, causes me to question a few things I have believed about sugar/hfcs/coke.

People also like to choose whatever they think is fun, if you want to play tennis instead of riding a bike, because you think that's more fun, you should be able to do so.

Your fun is at the expense of other people's mobility, why can't you just use some of the other million ways of getting exercise and having fun, where you don't have to be in other people's way?
There are actual, real discrimination implications to self governing communities. Forced eviction isn't likely to be the problem, but selective admission is.

That said, reactions here are pretty hyperbolic... jumping to a very extreme conclusion that therefore communal villages are bad.

Every selective admissions process has the potential (probably history) for bigotry. University/school admission, mortgage approval, job hiring. Does that mean selective hiring needs to end?

The same laws apply to everyone, imperfect as they are. illegal discrimination is still illegal. If eco villages start representing a major part of society, and >1% of people live in them, then I am sure that we'll have this discussion. I don't think this is iminent.

The first iPod had the wheel, which was the revelation. The later clickwheel was just an iteration. And the iPod had FireWire, which meant you didn’t have to wait all day to move your music over USB.
The interesting thing to me about communities like this that manage to persist for decades is, they find a balance of synergistic independence with collective identity.

They don't need to invent much, but they need to agree on a layer of abstraction above the personal interests of each person in a verbal consensus. Indeed, every group and culture talks until they reach consensus, but the ones who abstract the mechanisms with principles tend to manage growth more persistently. I viewed this ecovillage as a startup solving the ur-problem of governance, but instead of growing like a startup, the are just trying to sustain an equillibrium.
> I know to read and I know to copy paste

You'd be surprised. I've seen many arrogant users try to install Arch and fail because they were literally incapable of reading and understanding the simple instructions written on the Arch Wiki. Even technical users of other distributions. Sometimes they use an installer and manage to get a working system with no effort... Only for it to stop working because they failed to read the news and some update required manual intervention. If I remember correctly, users are required to provide pacman output as a form of CAPTCHA in order to create an Arch Wiki account. They must prove they installed Arch in order to edit the wiki.

A certain degree of elitism is great, no matter the community. Arch Linux users are expected to be responsible for their own systems, it's expected that they will take care of it and maintain it. People who can't or won't do this are better off using something else.

Who exerts the most control over Chromium? Google shareholders or the OSS community? How much Chromium development is done by people not employed by Google or now Microsoft?

Brave/Edge/Vivaldi/Opera are all Google controlled browsers. Just because you can slap your own logo and build a sync system on top of Chromium does not mean they get to have any say in how Chromium consumes the Internet.

Sure, less data gets sent directly to Google. But when Google says[1], Chromium will not allow you to completely block autoplaying videos, it takes years to for the clones add an option to block[2].

Kind of tangential to the article but regarding phosphoric acid and its use as anti-nausea, is this why bubbly white sodas are a household cure for upset stomachs? This was a go-to for my family in the US as a kid when I had a stomach flu (saltines and 7-up), and i guess it was pretty common
This comment explains all I needed to know about why so few people in this country are taking this crisis seriously. The understanding is that this is the Amazon drop shippers who are whining, so why bother? There are countless counter arguments provided by other commenters, so I will just add this - the analogy with Lehman Brothers is a gift that keeps on giving; when they failed, there were also people saying "it's just the rich folks who will lose their money."

So the idea that this is all about the drop shippers is laughably wrong. But throwawayboise does bring up a point that's worth discussing - what kind of crises are "beneath" the role and purpose of the US military? Is their role just to blow shit up, or is there an economic and humanitarian angle there as well? For example, if an earthquake took out an entire metropolitan area, would it be beneath all those soldiers to dig for human remains, or would they leave that to whatever the more appropriate branch of public service that would be (even with the understanding that joining forces would save more lives)? I know that in the other two countries I've lived in this would be a silly question - of course the military would roll up their sleeves. In the US, I genuinely don't know. The author of the above comment is obviously ignorant when it comes to economic matters, but when it comes to military matters, I wouldn't be surprised if his tone resonated with many others.

FWIW, Ryan proves that not everyone in the US thinks like that, and certainly all the people from the international community I've met wouldn't agree with throwawayboise either.

The video shows pretty mediocre cutting, but perhaps that's on par with a "typical table knife". There's a good reason restaurants will give you a steak knife, alongside a table knife, for red meat.

Now whatever generates your data has to know what parser is going to read the data. The parser can't tell right away whether the data has those trailing commas. They are optional, so they might not start appearing until after gigabytes of output have gone by. So you can't count on a quick error message in the event of a version mismatch.

Unfortunately it looks like Java is going to evolve enough to take the wind out of the sails of Kotlin and Scala for most dev shops. I guess the positive take is that those improvements might not have happened without the efforts to develop better JVM languages.
Kotlin feels like it could take over Scala at some point.

Until recently I've been very happy with Scala support in IntelliJ. Stuff just works or at least works for Scala 2.12 and 2.13

I tried to kick tires with Scala 3 and well it is not ready (warnings about experimental support).

Worst of all Intellij is not actually compiling Scala 3.1 but 2.13.6 still. (despite build.sbt having scalaVersion := "3.1.0")

You start messing around with manually adding and removing jars and you are in for a bad time.

Dealing with setup just saps productivity especially if you have to work on other languages.

First bad experience with Scala and Intellij.

The video of them cutting the steak with the wooden knife shows extremely poor performance. The steak was torn apart more so than sliced. There is no way the knife in the video is “three times sharper” than a typical stainless steel kitchen knife as claimed.

I happen to to agree with you, but this demand for proof is untenable and doesn’t promote good discussion. Any such proof would be guaranteed insufficient, as macroeconomics are by definition reductive and summary in nature, and the last thing we need is to nitpick econ to death in this thread.

We are going to see lots of digital nomad and work vacation services develop over the next few years as people realize that they can live a week or month in a different city working being productive the whole time. There are already co-working / co-living services but now expect people in tech living and working in the jungles of Brazil, on the beaches of Uruguay, or or within riding distance of mounting biking trails every morning in Arkansas. Places like Puerto Rico which is still reeling from the devastation of hurricane Maria 4 years ago will have an opportunity to participate in the digital nomad ecosystem. There is a co-working facility on the North - Western corner of the island with generator backup and fiber internet. Hopefully this will have a positive benefit on remote exotic places.

Prepare for an another work culture shift.
It is quite an odd coalition. And to counter GP's insinuation, California and New York prosecute large industries in their jurisdictions all the time -- in fact, that's a criticism of those states which is popular in these parts!

That's interesting. Most of the WP devs I encountered are deploying on old-school shared Linux hosting, like BlueHost, GoDaddy, etc. Maybe some use Windows for local dev stuff, but I doubt many deploy their "prod" there.
An interesting link exists between Richard Feynman and "Thinking Machines Corporation". There are some good videos of Feynman explaining basic computer science ideas in his own special way. The connection makes me wonder what other secret projects Feynman worked on that we don't know about yet.
But for Office they are already trying to move all the revenue to O365. That's the future and there you don't have to deal with piracy. I've never heard pirated copies of SQL Server being an issue.

And then, sure there's Adobe, but 99% of apps are pure web apps. No desktop client needed. Netflix Windows dekstop usage is small compared to their webpage and if MS pushed hard on this, they could just pull the app altogether.

The app store angle just isn't going to be this revenue monster for them long term. When I look at my desktop the only apps I have open are Microsoft and Adobe apps. That's it -- and the occassional game.

IMO, I think the thing they should care about the most is preventing ransomware/malware on their devices. Apps will be in the cloud, but the entry point is the device. Enterprises will want to have the most secure and easy to use entrypoint.
> When the iPod first came out it wasn't anything obviously special.

It was special (if only for Mac users initially). The first iPod did have a physically turning wheel (the capacitive sensing clickety one that came later didn't turn). It also had 5 GB and Firewire, and synced your entire iTunes music library (with meta data, including playlists IIRC) over onto the iPod in a few minutes. The UI, polish, and speed combined to an experience that was way ahead of all the other MP3 players around at the time.

Edit to add: Also, btw, other MP3 players at the time used AA batteries typically, and required manually copying over music. The iPod would recharge and automatically sync with your iTunes library (including contacts and calendars) every time it was plugged in.

> And while legit digital music downloads would set the stage for today's online music scene, digital purchases were never that big a chunk of the market and declined fairly quickly given streaming.

First came iTunes, then iPod, then later the iTunes Music Store. There were virtually no legit digital music downloads at the time the iPod came out. Most people's digital library came from Napster (illicitly) or (legit) ripping their own CDs (recall Apple's excellent "Rip. Mix. Burn." commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pleybGLgaEc ).

BTW, the UK launch was on 2001-11-22 at the London MacExpo in Islington, London.

No they are not. They are interested in having a source of income and a career first. Reaching the wrong conclusions can leave them without a job, or funding or stall their career advancement.

Modern academia does not select for truth.
They did not make them more reliable. They made them more affordable, which then made them disposable. It became less expensive to buy a new unit than have one repaired. Rising labor costs accelerated that transition.

Bicycling has had this "we are beyond reproach" attitude for years due to its health and environmental benefits. At least in my city, it's led to a sense of entitlement and militantism. Red lights and stop signs are routinely ignored by bicyclists. I've witnessed plenty of near misses against pedestrians, and myself have been hit by a bicyclist while I was on the pedestrian side of the path.

A lot of these comments misses the point of this article. This isn't a pro or anti cycling article. The point is that a lot of are not following laws and common courtesy. Being on a bicycle does not exempt you.

It's important to remember that by and large, people decide what they support on the basis of what makes them emotionally feel better, and then find evidence for it.

People who castigate the medical and pharmaceutical industries for being corrupt and then wholeheartedly advocate for one treatment or another as "the solution" based on articles they found on the Internet from unknown sources aren't and were never operating from a place of logic - as though nobody on the Internet was ever maliciously motivated or trying to make a buck.

There's no point in a discussion based on "the evidence" with these individuals, except maybe to point out the cognitive dissonance at play.
That would be classed as a descriptive mark and is unlikely to be granted registration.

> Descriptive marks are a type of trademark that are usually composed of a word or words that merely describe a product or that identify the characteristics of a product and are generally considered weak marks. In other words, these are descriptions that could be attributed to the goods or services offered by a business. Generally, such marks are unlikely to be granted registration or protection under trademark law. However, descriptive words may be registered and protected by the law if they acquire “secondary meaning.” This happens when the original or primary meaning of the descriptive words becomes exclusively associated with a particular business.

> Getting knives past airport security seems not particularly difficult from the experience of my circle and other anecdotal sources. I've had friends and family accidentally get knives through security on many occasions, and I have also accidentally done it myself.

I second the cissp cert. Seems to be more prevalent or sought after than security+. I think GSEC is another cert, or group of certs, that I hear about more than security+ too.

I don't know about the money part. The $120k EUR salary already sounds high to me, and this $100k bonus stuff sounds very high to me also. Maybe these are outliers. The median for an infosec analyst seems to be $103k vs $110k for devs in the US.

> Her point is that the hogging of public space by bicyclists is a problem, and that the cause is bicyclists ignoring rules and not thinking about others.

That is not my takeaway at all. And I feel like the only way you could think that were if you were already predisposed against bicyclists.

The problem the author is talking about is that there is mostly no problem at all, and therefore many people don’t think about how they can share space (because they generally don’t have to).

It’s too bad because there’s nothing wrong with offices, it’s the implication that you’re required to show up on some kind of schedule or something. “We have a fantastic office locations with free food, cool decor and meeting spaces, and you can go whenever you want”, but remote work is OK as much as you need/want is a great pitch to me.
