>How would the opposite not be true? "an appeal to the modern". Just because something like palm oil is new, must it be better?

What gave you the indication I was appealing to modernity? Being against naturalistic fallacy or the "good old days" doesn't mean I'm arguing "well it's new so it must be better!". I'm simply saying that we shouldn't give either side preference just because it's new or old.

>Consider that for years the "new" advice was to recommend aspirin to prevent heart attacks. [https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIR.0000000000000678] If you ignored this advice some smarmy pill pusher would say you're appealing to nature. What about non-addictive painkillers like oxycotton.

This seems like a massive strawman/misrepresentation. People weren't taking/recommending asprin because it was new, they were taking it because it's what the clinical evidence was suggesting. Some reasonable objections might be that the studies were poorly done, or wasn't replicable, but "it's not natural" isn't one of them. Just because "it wasn't natural" produced the right result, doesn't really mean we should endorse it, or continue using it. After all, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

>Exposure to glyphosate-based herbicides and risk for non-Hodgkin lymphoma: A meta-analysis and supporting evidence" [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S13835...].

>Mouse experiments showed weight gain and memory loss/alzheimers [https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-17373-3]

Early studies showed that aspirin was beneficial for preventing heart attacks. You seemed to suggest that was bad. However, trusting one study saying that glyphosate causes cancer is okay? The wikipedia article for glyposate describes the overall evidence for glyposate causing cancer as "inconclusive". The IARC also said there was "limited evidence" for the type of cancer you described. If you want to make the case that appeal to nature is good, you really should have used something less contentious.

>Then the oil is bleached for a more palatable color.

Well is that bad? If they're literally dumping household bleach into the oil, I might be a little worried. Then again, they also put bleach (chlorine) into tap water, so should we be worried about that too?

> It refined like other industrials oils and often interchangeable for machining uses.

We also put nuclear plant coolant (dihydrogen monoxide) into our foods. Should we be worried about that as well?

>Seed oil advocates themselves appeal to "the good ol days", as many peoples have allegedly used rape seed oil over history.

Right, and that's bad regardless of which side it's on.
> This negativity with anecdotal evidence is so annoying.

Isn’t it.

> “It's such a fucking basic feature. To de-select a single row out of a group that is selected. It's the single most counter-productive thing ever.”

Probably not as counter-productive as throwing away thousands of person-years of learned skill and experience because of some Linux fanaticism.

How is “it’s not as good but we can patch it until it’s equivalently buggy, people will get used to it” any compelling reason to change over?

How is “but but I hate microsoft” any compelling reason to change over?

And the techcommunity.microsoft thread from 2018 announcing deselect has people who used that “multi-click makes a cell darker” feature and are bothered that it’s gone.

> “Microsoft charges enterprises and governments substantial amounts of money for, and provides precisely dick for support in return.”

You mean like that feature you were crying out for and then found that they built? That kind of nothing?

Or like how Office 365 has collaborative editing and LibreOffice has a page saying it’s been in development since 2006 and isn’t ready and linking to an old mailing list post from 2020 talking about deprecating he API they had built for it, as the latest update?

A module in Goproxy should be in the global SumDB, so if you are consulting that (the default), even if someone managed to get a retag in, it would fail the sumdb check. I suspect that Goproxy, by virtue of running Go under the hood, consults sumdb prior to adding to the proxy. As long as a tag was fetched once, I would expect that any changes would be caught. There are of course edge cases, such as custom domain go get hosts are not all kept in the GoProxy, but their content hash should be.

> For example, I'm in favor of democratizing corporations, on the German model perhaps, and I view investment capitalism as a decrepit dead-end system, and the financialization of the economy as an unmitigated disaster.

I disagree with you on every single point, but I would still support your right to believe these things and not consider it "harm".

Where we might run into problems lies in how you decide to go about implementing your proposed solution. To me the standard political approach of imposing rules backed up by fines, prison sentences, and capital punishment (beyond the usual proportional, reciprocal responses to others' actions) is harm in and of itself regardless of the intended outcome or "democratic process" and this point is non-negotiable. But if you want to collect together a group of like-minded individuals and create a society to your liking through entirely voluntary arrangements, be my guest.

"I've never seen anything but pro-freedom of speech from the right"

You can't possibly be comparing the wisdom of our ancestors with the agricultural-industrial complex? They do everything in their power to produce the lowest-cost version of "food" (some could argue it is not food) that people will pay for.
If you zoom out you can find many more examples. A bit further back, look at the Right's behavior throughout the Bush years - the Dixie Chicks are a perfect example of someone opposing the Right from within their own culture and being summarily "cancelled" for it.

More recently though, Kathy Griffin hasn't recovered from the Trump's severed head controversy.

I'd also like to point out that the type of cancelling and thought suppression the Right does is much more insidious than the Twitter mob, which has the attention span of about a week. The way the Right targets school boards at the local and State level to suppress any curricula which makes them uncomfortable is a huge, widespread problem. Countless teachers in America are legally forced to teach demonstrably false narratives about racism and slavery, as well as to present evolution and Creationism as "equally valid theories."

Comparing a comedian getting cancelled by the Left on Twitter (which rarely sticks; even Louis CK is doing gigs again) with the systematic miseducation of millions of kids based on demonstrably false narratives by the Right, I'd say the latter is much more harmful.

The Services are offered primarily as a platform to cache and serve web pages and websites. Unless explicitly included as part of a Paid Service purchased by you, you agree to use the Services solely for the purpose of (i) serving web pages as viewed through a web browser or other functionally equivalent applications, including rendering Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) or other functional equivalents, and (ii) serving web APIs subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.8. Use of the Services for serving video or a disproportionate percentage of pictures, audio files, or other non-HTML content is prohibited, unless purchased separately as part of a Paid Service or expressly allowed under our Supplemental Terms for a specific Service. If we determine you have breached this Section 2.8, we may immediately suspend or restrict your use of the Services, or limit End User access to certain of your resources through the Services.

But realistic we can serve a lot of content (any content) before trigger any problem, that includes video. I have a one App that does several GB per month (including images/video) on Free plan, and other one using few TB/month on Pro Plan...

There is, but I'm curious just how big it is compared to latent demand.

On a random drive through a residential area, I'll see an occasional vacant lot or house with its lights perpetually off, but the vast majority of houses seem to be actively lived in. By contrast, I know lots of people that want houses but can't afford them. Either they're living with parents, or raising a family in a condo/apartment that's too small for them, or they've got roommates, or they're doubled/tripled up in a unit with extended family. If prices went down, they'd jump at a chance to buy, but they can't make it work right now.

For a bubble to burst, there'd need to be more vacant units being held as investment properties than there are persons/households that are bunking with people they'd rather not be with. I'm unconvinced this is the case; it certainly seems counter to my experience.
Stuff like this is why the place I work for decided not to use Rust as a replacement for future C projects. The devs evaluating it loved the language, and said they were more productive with it than they were with C, but being forced to either use no external dependencies, or audit tons of crates published by random people, made it a non-starter.

What's not being spoken about in the article is interest rate increases. They're as low as they can go, the only way is up at some point. If rates increase, servicing current debts maybe impossible forcing people to sell and financing new purchases at current prices is out of reach for new buyers.

Given current inflation expectations (and reality) the ECB will probably come under a lot of pressure to start raising rates.

It always irks me when organizations/governments/businesses use the word "lost" in this context, like when people say Spotify/Netflix have "lost" $Xm to digital content piracy. It's not like they once had your money, and no longer do (i.e., they actually lost it) - it's little more than presupposing that your money _belongs_ to them, and any violation of these expectations is tantamount to crime.

If I take the liberty of assuming you'll give me $5 for whatever reason (or in the case of taxation, I threaten to take $5 and assume you'll comply), and you do not do so, is it fair to say that I've "lost" that $5?
Extremely widespread embedded support and cross platform.

This is important, and having a diet that suits your oxidative stress profile is important. And I do not care what anyone tells me, these oils are not something the body can handle well and are probably healthy only at low levels.

I don't know deBoer from Adam, mind you, so I'm only going off the article as written. That said, while it's not strictly a lie to communicate deBoer's actions without conveying how psychosis played a role, it seems to leave out important context in favor of the presumption that he's simply an asshole. My assignment of credibility to deBoer could be substantially colored by learning of his psychosis and current efforts to remain treated.

Using the very numbers you posted, covid is then between 4.7 and 10.6 times deadlier than the flu. If your covid number is the total from the last two years, then it's 2.3 to 5.3 times deadlier than the flu. You don't think it's valid to draw a comparison between the two?

Also those rates would be artificially high, as the elderly, who are overwhemingly the ones vulnerable to both viruses, had a yearly shot to protect them from the flu, but not from covid, until recently. Now that the vulnerable also have a layer of protection from covid as well, that multiple will drop much lower.

It's just a pain to write and configure that many different devices each with I assume external SPI ROMs and bitstreams. Timing analysis would also apply locally, and you'd have to propagate that through yourself. Since they're each buffered at the edges, I don't think EMF is a big consideration, but timing would be a challenge. I expect routing to be the least problematic as you can just route the signals to external pins in whatever configuration you want.

Organizations like school systems don't have a great track record managing custom software projects. They don't know what to look for and who to hire, and how much things should cost.

Marmalade: A British obsession
The flu also kills mostly the elderly and sick. In fact I get the impression that it does so more than Covid does.
A passing mention in the middle of the article caught my eye:

> a total of “15 questionable vials” with five labeled as “smallpox” and 10 as “vaccinia.”

Had I misremembered the etymology of “vaccine”? Was this a typo? Turns out to be an interesting story (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccinia); TLDR, the actual origins of the smallpox vaccine are surprisingly murky (due to a lack of early record-keeping), so when scientists discovered that the virus they were using to make it was actually a separate, otherwise unknown species they used the name that Jenner had originally applied to the cowpox he used for his early vaccinations.
How did you get to the dosage?
By phrase reference to desktop, I mean that desktop experience on Linux for me is now comparable, if not noticeably better than Windows. I am genuinely more productive now despite certain gripes with Gnome. Stuff generally just works. The stuff that does not work, I can emulate or put in VM.

Now when I try to compare my current linux phone ( Pine ) with default Ubuntu to a cheapest android phone, the experience is just lacking. I know other OSs are available, and they were still underwhelming at the time. Has it gotten any better? I would love to try Librem, but I can't justify dropping $1999 for US version ( the non-US version has heavy lead time now ).

I am not saying the option is not there. It is just not ready for prime time.
> IMO if the agency cannot disclose to the public the documents it prepared for the public

It didn't prepare them for the public (and, in many cases, it didn't prepare them at all). It prepared or gathered them to support the function it performs for the public, much of which, by law, includes preparing, gathering, and reviewing legally non-disclosable information. That's the mandate it has in law—so it is not at all “incompetence” that that is how it operates.

You may not like the law (given that elsewhere in the thread you have suggested it is literally equivalent to the institution of slavery, I assume that you do not), but it is not incompetent for government agencies to follow the law that actually exists rather than your individual preferences for what the law ought to be.
