Sure, and I almost edited my original comment when I made it to clarify that as far as we know, Ivermectin isn't a very good protease inhibitor. That's what the fact-check should have said. Instead, we were fed a pile of garbage because the garbage sounds more comforting to those who emotionally need Ivermectin to be horse medicine.

But I don't think that Scott has done more than offer a suggestion as to how the studies might be flawed; no matter how compelling the suggestion, it isn't evidence. Otherwise you're just consuming more nicely-dressed garbage, which is even more dangerous because you get to feel superior to those consuming the normal garbage.

What would constitute good evidence for the worms theory is, you know, a study actually studying that. Otherwise the theory is just assuming that a lot of the people benefited by Ivermectin do have worms, when that hasn't even been measured.

That's the one. And I'm not fussy one way or another about the keycaps - I loved the old ones, but I can see the arguments for the "island" style as well - it's the switches underneath that were the thing.

IANAL, but since you refer to a prosecutor, they would need "beyond reasonable doubt", right?

For this reason, I purchased a 5ft by 3ft canvas print of the Hubble Ultra Deepfield photograph and hung it on my wall.

Somehow being reminded that there are 5000 galaxies visible in a single 24 millionth of the sky makes me feel better about not having "accomplished as much" as some other members of my particular species on my particular planet in my particular solar system in my particular galaxy.

It helps keep things in perspective. That feeling of inferiority is just an evolved pressure to be the most worthwhile mating partner. It's not as big a deal as it feels like, just natural selection's unkind handiwork.

CCP is just a big mafia gang now. And XI Jinping the head of this mafia gang. And as with any mafia gang grown too big, it should be destroyed. And the head of it be killed or sentenced to life-long prison.

And yea the IOC... shame on them. They have now found a new term for their silence on this. They call it "Quiet Democracy". When in reality what it is is licking CCP's ass.

I don't understand.... why the world not get together and just destroy CCP and kill Xi jinping once and for all? It has already crossed all limits of forgiveness.
Please talk to any frontend developer active in the days when Internet Explorer was king of the hill because they will debunk your entire argument.

Internet Explorer was the one being shit. And Microsoft could get away with it because they literally destroyed Netscape by including this shit browser with the OS.

The only event improving things was that out of the Netscape wreckage Mozilla emerged which gained so much market share with Seamonkey and Firefox Microsoft just had to pay attention to W3C specs again.

So Mozilla basically was the only reason Internet Explorer 9 and 10 were less shit than their predecessors.

I'll just hijack this thread to ask a question about effect systems:

It seems to me that effects primarily have 2 uses:

1. Provide a controlled form of dynamic scoping (decouple usage and handling - allowing functions to be generic in their effects)

2. Create custom control flow with multiple resumes etc at the effect callsite

It feels to me that these are largely orthogonal ideas, but are always conflated in effect systems. Is there a reason for this? Are there examples of one without the other?

Unions represent the interests of the workers, not the consumers. Why would a union care about consumer privacy?
I have a different bank, but as you can see here, instant transfers are free for personal use: https://www.paysera.com/v2/en/blog/what-is-sepa

I have been reading about instant transfers and I think the banks don't have to pay for individual transfers, they pay a fee for being part of the SEPA system. If that is correct, then every cent you bank charges you for an instant transfer goes directly to their pockets.
Wow I remember using Ion back at Amazon in 2012.
I can’t remember but I think the order data warehouse was using it …

I also now remember back to using something that was akin to FaaS but wasn’t called that.
I could give them a JAR of some code that would execute on some Ion data for the order data when it changed. Basically FaaS for an ETL pipeline…

Crazy how ahead of the times some companies were.

I'm aware of the differences between herbivorous, carnivorous, and omnivorous. However, you seem to be unwilling to accept that you don't need animal flesh to live a healthy life. Nothing of what you've provided has refuted that.

Please continue to review the citations I provided, particularly the one from NIH. For an ethical approach, I recommend Peter Singer's "Why vegan?" and "Animal Liberation" should be sufficient. Nothing you've provided has refuted the ethical side of things, either.

> In August, Waymo began its Trusted Tester program in the city, as well, allowing San Franciscans to hail one of its autonomous, electric Jaguar I-Pace vehicles, with a safety driver on board, for free rides.

There is plenty of time between now and 2023 and by then the safety record of these cars will not be good enough for regulators to allow fully driverless function. It's not good even now. Teslas constantly make all sorts of mistakes that force their drivers to take control. I doubt either Waymo or Cruise are further ahead than Tesla when it comes to the ML involved in making these things safe for the general public. Public roads are more adversarial than current ML models are capable of dealing with and this is before we even get to different kinds of low visibility weather conditions like rain and fog.
It seems toxic because we all started from nothing and learned things ourselves without having to make asinine posts asking the same questions over and over. The answers you seek are out there. Newbies are great until they start talking and pollute forums with low value discussions, and increasingly it seems even newbs never want to talk with other newbs, for these reasons.
> I’m not sure I could rewire myself to do this but I love the idea.

Like anything behavior-related, it takes some time and effort. I created this because I've wanted this going on two decades, have used it for the better part of 6 months, and I still sometimes send things to on text/chat/email that could have been sent by Pony. But I do it less and less and it's been rewarding.

I'm not sure... I am looking forward to hearing about people's experiences and what they think.

> One of which will read our entire group thread once per day and provide an itemized single message response paragraphs long. I love her style. But the problem is that WhatsApp is complete junk for long form.

She may be your go-to candidate for trying this out! I've found that people who successfully adopt Pony have at least one person who's willing to try it with them. I was even thinking of making that a prerequisite for signing up, a gimmick of sorts, that you need to sign up with someone else. My experience has also been that all these platforms—WhatsApp, email, chat (obviously)—aren't great for long form. Stuff just gets lost and buried before you respond to it, and the UIs aren't built for that. If you know someone who seems interested in that sort of communication, you might want to try it with them! Would love to know how it goes.

I have never been a fan of the mechanical keyboards. Typing with so much noise in a public space makes me feel like an asshole. Pressing the keys feels better than the membrane though.

After enough persuasion from my friend, who loves mechanical switches, I bought a silent full-sized Realforce R2 PFU. This is not a game-changer but a nice upgrade of the workspace. Now I am more comfortable with it than with any mechanical switch I tried.

I agree with all of this, and also want to say I think people's free time is at a low right now compared to the past, maybe?

I feel like most people in my generation either define themselves fully by their careers, or they are scrambling constantly to make ends meet.

It's hard for me to find people around my age who have free time when I have free time and personalities or lifestyles that align with what I want out of friends or life.

I imagine a lot of people are in the same boat.
Better to deliver incremental evolutionary value, so that the business side gets useful feedback iterations on what engineering can deliver. This allows the company as a whole to iterate its customer relationship.

The mx keys is amazing. It feels so sexy to type on, and I can type far faster and more accurately than anything else I've used.

I've also not charged the thing in months and it doesn't seem to care, which blows my mind.
Looking at the replies here, one thing for sure, keyboards are a very personal thing.

I have a Topre RealForce BTW. I've chosen it after trying out a bunch of keyboards, some Cherry MX, rubber domes, scissor switches, IBM Model M, ALPS, etc... My first reaction with the Topre was "oh, that one feels really nice" then I looked at the price and "wtf?!". I eventually bought it, because I didn't find anything better, and compared to a good PC, it is not that big of an expense.

I've been using it for 8 years now, and I expect to keep it for many more. Also the author is now wrong saying the cable is the weak point, I had to change it last year, a wire broke inside, which surprised me because despite not being fancy, it looked like a good cable. I blame the way it channels from under the keyboard and the lack of strain relief.

BTW, before my RealForce, my keyboard was a Keytronic KT2001, which I really liked despite being a lowly rubber dome keyboard. In fact, maybe that's the reason why I love Topre so much. Topre switches are essentially better rubber domes.
While silly, I think this absolutely will happen as you describe. It would be too hard for Twitter to resist.

I don't even mean this pejoratively. 22/02/2022 will be a thing, and it will spark up the arguments in your prediction.

This is an assertion that seems designed to resonate with a skeptical crowd, but which lacks any support aside from vague intuition. On what basis do you base your claim that the median scientist creates negative value?
Isn't that interesting! It's like we all just take it for granted what "tech" means and something is not "tech" if it doesn't fit those parameters. For me it was some time around when Viber came out that I was like "wow, do we really need so many of the same messenger?" It makes sense because instantaneity was really revolutionary from a human historical perspective, but as you say, now that we have this baseline, I hope people become more receptive to exploring technology that's designed for usability and not technological novelty that isn't even novel anymore...
I wonder why it took 10+ years to share then?
I'm a Paramedic here in Northern California and we recently went on a welfare check to an apartment - us, fire dept, and law enforcement - for a family that could not get ahold of their grandmother.

Grandma was fine, fortunately, and she simply turned her phone off because it was ringing constantly with scam phone calls. She was sick of the auto warranty spam all the time, so she unplugged entirely.

The elderly are the ones that still have landlines and cell phones too, so they often get hit multiple times. It's harder for them to disconnect the landline due to things like Life Alert requiring a landline.

Well, my opinion is that a ridiculous root cause of all this is the lack of a central, government-supervised, secure, instantaneous, free, direct payments system. Such that all these stupid private bank-based services are attempting to fill that void and don't get it right when they do it.

Not to say that such a service would not also have vulnerabilities. But you hear about all the bounced check / advance fee / text message validation scams going on now, and you would think that the banks would want to get this liability off their hands and into a central service that they can just be rid of the responsibility. (ok, on the other hand, having an irrevocable transfer system might introduce new problems as well, but still...)

I find it unfathomable why we continue to saddle ourselves with one of the most ancient check-writing based systems in the world that people in other countries laugh at us for (or ask in puzzlement, "what is that?"), and have to make all these terrible workarounds to deal with.
The greatest comeback story in the universe
And OP wasn't complaining about the things the parent said.
Postmark has worked pretty well for my projects.
Consider that binary, binary coded decimal, Gray code, hexadecimal, octal, etc. are all 'formats' expressing the same (numerical) idea.

You can't say the same of, for example, YAML & JSON, since the former (if not the latter?) has constructs unrepresentable in the other.

It's slightly confused because an application might 'serialise to' JSON or YAML or Ion equivalently - but really that's saying the application's data being serialised fits a model that's a subset of the intersection between those formats.

You could call Ion two, but it's more than that in that it's also a promise that they're 1:1 (err, and onto if you like) - their intersection is their union.

This really got me at first. Since I had seen Windows virtual vm on Linux (and vice versa), my mental model was still “full virtualization”. But the processes running in a Linux container are still _linux_ processes, they’re just isolated (fairly) well.

Thanks a lot <3.
I tried to buy something, but it was a large amount - over my normal usage. I had to call the bank, and they said "we're sending a code to your phone..." and the text message said "DO NOT share this code. We will NEVER call you or text you for it. Code xxxxxx. Reply HELP if you didn't request it."

So... they then say "what is the code?" that specifically says "DO NOT share this code". I know what's going on, mostly, but it was still confusing.
It's staggering to me that people keep making these "rich" data formats without sum types. At least to me, the "ors" are just as important as the "ands" in domain modeling. Apart from that, while you can always sort of fake it with a bunch of optional fields I believe that you kind of need a native encoding to a tagged union if you want to avoid bloating your messages.
> Some of the stories are more in the line of “hooray for Soviet scientists” genre, which I find a lot less interesting

I find this very telling about the reviewer. When the Russians (or Soviets) show gallows humor, or are simply bizarre or we (in the West) want to read dark undertones in what they wrote: hell yes, it's just like I thought, the Soviet Union must have been a constant nightmare!

When they write in a self congratulatory tone, or simply praise their scientists: boring, let's skip that.

It is a way to self-select a vision of what the Soviet era must have been: all depressing, all zany, all the time.

The normal, they-were-humans-like-us bits get ignored because they are boring, confirming and reinforcing our preexisting ideas.
Honest question: why do you care? What is it in your psychology that makes you want to do something that impresses the world? If you don’t like the struggle needed to achieve those things then accept that you deep down don’t really want what you think you want. Instead ask yourself: What makes you happy? What makes you be in the “zone” experiencing flow? That is what you really deep down care about.
There was a big scrolling marquis sign at ground level near a road I used to drive on frequently. At a certain point the letters had that "constant bearing" property. If I wasn't paying too much attention I would just get the feeling that ~something~ was coming fast at me from the side and would hit me.

I would have to fight my instinct to swerve away and consciously reassure myself that it was just the sign that I saw.

I made fun of President Trump on a daily basis. I do the same currently for President Biden despite of voting for him. Being a contrarian to me is absolutely fundamental and political satire is the best thing ever.

Thankfully, it is remarkably easy to do in USA despite of far-right and far-left extremism. We ought to watch out though - this is not a permanent liberty.
I recently implemented a similar (simpler) format https://baremessages.org/ in ruby.

First thoughts are:

ION pros:
- easy to skip around while reading a file
- no need to write a schema
- backed by amazon so major langs will have impls
- good date support
- better concatenation, probably better suited to logging than bare

ION cons
- what's the text format even for?

BARE pros:
- schemas keep things tightly versioned
- smaller binaries (not self describing like ion)
- simpler to implement so tons of devs have impl'ed for their favorite lang
- better suited to small messages (think REST json api)

BARE cons:
- no skip read
- no date support

I might do an ion ruby implementation too, to really feel out the difference.
