I overall agree to what you have said. Marriage has positive impacts on children, and that's why love itself evolved. However, "marriage" as it stands today from a social and legal standpoints comes with a lots of side things that should not be. Times have changed in the thousands of years, however, the system is not being adapted with these changes. The challenges that would have been when the concept of marriage developed (which predates written history) are not the same as the challenges today.

I am not against marriage in itself, however, what it means all taken together is in need of adjustment. And that will happen sooner or later. The positive impacts on children can continue as the system is refined. The only question is how many suffer during the transition phase.
The fact that you don't see a need to offer any justification for that statement ... proves PG's point.
I like Blik. Is dead simple to use specially on the internet.

Lowtax was one of the last "nerd heroes".

Before the internet, there was little hierarchy between nerds. Your peers either classified you as a nerd, or not, and nerds welcomed another. They were getting beat up in the school grounds, forced to share it with the jocks, and constantly be reminded of their social standing. The internet changed this. Early internet bullies were keyboard jockies.

The internet gave us nerd heroes like Maddox and Lowtax. These people got credit inside the outcast nerd community. Larger-than-life internet personalities. Critiquing and trolling and scoring points about a subject no other nerds would even find interesting.

You grew in ranks by contributing quality content, such as game guides and humor columns (compare early Cracked). You grew by being an insufferable asshole, by trolling, by hoaxing. Disputes were settled through duel flame-wars. As you were mostly pseudononymous back then and your authority was attached to a username, losing a flame-war could really hurt your standing, or require you to start over.

This also meant that disputes could be lost by the current authorities, if they were successfully trolled or flamed. Lowtax did "lose" many such disputes. He was not allowed to call victory if the community and lurkers saw it differently. You were judged on a weird form of merit only beat-up asshole nerds understood.

I remember Lowtax interviewing a 00's pornstar which every nerd back then knew. The Lowtax-thing to do was definitely to comment about her strange foot (merged toes into a hoof), up until the interview being cut short. I think nobody wanted anything else out of that interview.

Around 2008 the climate shifted. Joe Rogan had opened his own message board, which did not require 10$ to join, but his/his mods approval. A new hero was born: "the jock hero". The jock hero was critical of science, just like he had been critical of his high-school physics teacher: he did not understand very well and this bothered him (being in a digital age relying less on physical authority).

Disputes were about who had the most muscles, showing photos to proof it. You got into a flame-war with a mod or Joe, you would be banned, the people left too afraid to call anyone out for having a thin skin. A weird sort of authority grew, were jocks could show they were king of multiple playgrounds.

Now the internet itself is a closely watched playground. People walk around with permanent real-name identities. Teachers and governments look for ass-holish behavior. Media complains about large-follower playground kids who refuse to get a diploma and join the "real" world. And the nerds are back at their place. A place too low on the totem pole to elect heroes.

If "With a meta-analysis, if you detect a high number of fraudulent studies..." applied here, perhaps so. But most of those eliminated were not for fraud, in fact only 2 were for fraud, the rest were flawed in ways which, I'm afraid, is equally common (or nearly so) in studies on any other topic. Also, not all of the studies he threw out showed ivermectin working, I recall at least one showed the opposite but that doesn't mean we throw out all studies showing ivermectin doesn't work.

Also, the whole point of the exercise is what do you find if you apply good statistical and methodological rigor, but don't have any anti-ivermectin bias.

It will curb the problem certainly, but I think 90% is a bit optimistic. More people than you think would elect to buy the cheapest part they can find, regardless of quality. It’s why those dangerous dirt cheap chargers sold at gas stations, Aliexpress, Wish, etc that lack safety circuitry continue to sell in large quantities.

Electronic replacement parts should be much more tightly regulated so that the worst junk can’t even be imported. I think it’s fine that third parties make replacement parts, but there should be a minimum bar of quality they’re held to.
No other company provides replacement parts at cost.

> Can you expand on what you like about it being integrated into firefox natively as opposed to an extension?

Nowhere in my post I’ve said that I thought it was a good idea to integrate pocket to Firefox natively. I said that I loved pocket as a service. A service that improved constantly before Mozilla acquired it and now it seems like there’s no significant upgrade for the last however many years Mozilla acquired it.

As an addendum, I absolutely do not think that integrating pocket to Firefox was a good idea. Even though I love(d) pocket and Firefox, it should be an extension.

The vaccine was never touted as being 100% effective.
For Pfizer the (Lancet study) efficacy numbers ranged from 88-93%, the first month after full vaccination.

After 4 months the effectiveness waned to 47-67% (depending on the variant). So now the focus on boosters.

My point is that 100% vaccination should never have led to the expectation of 0 cases of covid. But the main thing was reducing ICU numbers/severe infections.

Outrageous Ideas for Roofing Services in Scarborough
When constructing or renovating a new place, choosing the right roofing can be quite complicated. The first priority should be durability, it is a factor that you should never compromise on with roof or floors. These are considered the foundations of the house, therefore they should be strong and long-lasting for years to come. To make sure of that, you should choose the best roofing services in Scarborough.

This is relevant to the classic 'frameworks vs libraries' comparison. Sometimes the hardest part of an implementation with a framework is fitting your solution into the framework, especially when you begin to stretch the assumptions of the framework. The gluing-together-libraries approach allows you to make the structure of the program fit the problem (at the additional expense of having to write more boilerplate).
Same. Perfect tool for me.

>This is hardly what was sold to everyone.

Most interviews with experts I listened to in the media did stress at the beginning of the vaccine rollout that they didn't yet know how large the effect of the transmission would be.

So I think it's unfair to say that it was "sold" as anything of the sort, it's mostly people retroactively rewriting the past, either deliberately to fit and agenda or just that their memory is faulty.
Right, but all you need to do component level repair is access to schematics and the ability to buy the chips. The schematics definitely exist - they have to, in order for the motherboard to exist. And the chips on the motherboard probably exist too. But Apple would clearly rather you didn't know that, since they contract their chip manufacturers to not sell the chips to anyone else for any purpose.
I agree with you there, the parent was decrying the nature of AASP repairs.

Covid 19 is more like the cold than measles. Immunity starts to wane after months. This shouldn’t be shocking to anyone who has had a cold.

The fact that virologists weren’t upfront from the beginning about this, and that the epidemiologists weren’t upfront from the beginning that it was clearly endemic by March 2019, has led to much of the dysfunctional response from the public and governments.

If you mean a website, outside of managed platforms a PHP file synced with ftp on any provider will have a quick feedback look. Not that I recommend it, but to start, it is one of the quickest.If ftp or scp is too complex I recommend to use a managed website builder (wix, hosted wordpress)

If you literally mean a txt made public: gdrive, Dropbox, notion, s3,…

Maybe ngrok fits the bill, to literally share a folder on the internet.

I am not sure why you are in such a rush. I would argue today it is easier than ever to „put something“ on the internet. I do not think it can be simpler that the options above. Either learn (a minimum amount) or be in somebody‘s platform. IMHO none is too bad, just different tradeoffs. Good luck!
I think the difference though is C is not unlike most procedural programming languages. The main thing I imagine is coming back up to speed w/ stdlib and having to get back into the rhythm of managing memory. Regex is unlike anything you typically do on a day-to-day basis. It's just an alien mental model and once you get past the basics feels like you've acquired some sort of superpower few actually need.

It's like being a native English speaker who also speaks a few other latin based languages vs. having that one eastern language thrown into the mix.

NIH is in charge of research. CDC takes the research and makes recommendations.

https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/tables/table-...

NIH seems to have pretty good analysis into Ivermectin. For some reason or another, people don't know it exists. Its pretty straightforward frankly. Turns out that people on the internet are terrible at meta-analysis.
Agreed. The question is if you need the complexity these platforms have. Do you need a distributed platform with regional load balancing and all sorts of other stuff to share a small text file with a handful of people? Absolutely not.

It ultimately depends on the usecase. Small web hosts still exist, you can also still stand up a personal fileserver at home in many cases and host a file to a few people. Heck you can even email some files or host it as a torrent.

If you need millions of people to see it and want it to be nearly guaranteed to survive with 99.99999... SLAs then yes, you probably do need all that platform complexity.

Some of these platforms make it relatively easy. S3 isn't too bad to get up to speed with for a quick sort of file hosting strategy.

>(1) if you’re vaccinated, common sense suggests you’d be more likely to go back to normal as compared to pre-vax (increasing chances of getting covid)

This statement may be true. But it's not obvious to me. You could also argue that many people who got fully vaxed and even boosters where available are also more cautious in general, other things being equal. Again, not arguing this statement is untrue but a lot of people are still being cautious in various ways and I'm pretty sure there's a lot of overlap between that group and those who got vaccines early on.

Yes, I meant fiat currency (US dollars, etc.).

I get that the point is to have a parallel currency of crypto. If I purchase a stablecoin with fiat, I’ve exchanged, there it is. If I earn my salary in crypto, pay for my groceries, and never exchange for fiat, then I’m fully detached.
I agree completely. I made a big push to switch from vim to spacemacs so that I could use org-mode for note taking and reduce my dependence on paper notebooks, but the lack of ability to easily sketch really killed it. I'm a geologist so I need to sketch out maps and other kinds of figures that aren't just scatterplots and flowcharts or whatever (which can be done programmatically). If I could have something even quite crude it would be revolutionary, especially if the org clients were improved for iOS with better editing/syncing capabilities and less of a focus on agenda and calendar capabilities (todoist and native calendar apps work better for my job situation, personally). The rest of org is so easy and powerful... I still dream my little dreams but am not willing to learn how to implement something like that myself I guess.
Ghosting drove me crazy with CRTs and older LCDs, so I guess this is not for me.
The common pattern I'm seeing is people misinterpreting statistics then going on to conclude that the vaccinations available to us are useless and spamming this misinformation everywhere they can, mistakenly believing that they've hit the scoop of a lifetime. Only afterwards do we find out the real reason behind any apparent anomalies. But by then it's too late - the antivax crowd already have another factoid that circulates through their communities and bolsters their beliefs.

In this case Waterford has reported an increase in cases week-on-week (470, which is a lot for a county of 116k people) then this website completely flubbed the calculation and somehow decided that meant 5% of the adult population have it. That is unless Waterford comprises 9,400 adults and 106,000 children in which case I am quite alarmed but for an entirely different reason.
If it means people can legitimately and easily get their hands on genuine replacement parts then this alone is a step in the right direction.

It’s true that the vaccines don’t seem to be super effective against getting infected. I have several friends who got sick and tested positive despite being double-vaccinated. They recovered quickly though, more quickly than I did from getting infected before vaccines were widely available.

Neither of those sentences is particularly true.
So this requires some context.

Java was released by Sun Microsystems, a Unix vendor with their own hardware architecture. The big feature was "write once, run anywhere." Write the program once and it would run on Windows/Intel as well as Solaris/SPARC.

The Java language wasn't horrible and WORA was a big advantage in the days when there were half a dozen Unix vendors plus Mac and Windows and Novell Netware etc. So it was becoming popular, and every app the developer decided to write in Java was one that wasn't tied to the Win32 API and therefore Windows.

It's also possible to compile other languages to Java bytecode as along as they didn't use OS-specific APIs -- and Java provided platform-independent ones. So there was a real risk that everything would end up running on a platform-independent JVM. Which Microsoft successfully prevented from happening for long enough for Sun to run out of money and get consumed by Oracle.
