This helps me a lot actually, in feeling more clear about how to proceed. I think I had been saying to myself that "emotional health" should replace the term "mental health" and in reading what you wrote, I think maybe the two terms can co-exist and appeal differently to different people. For example, I think I often hear "mental health" including everything from down syndrome to dyslexia to depression to stress.

It reminds me of being in a bookstore and I asked about books on empathy and the person led me to two sections: one on psychology and one psychics. I skimmed the psychology book and it talked about setting boundaries and paying attention to how one felt. I skimmed the psychics book and it talked about psychic walls and auras. I then realized they may be talking about very similar things but with different and slightly different approaches.

Regardless, thank you for helping me feel more clear on just using the language that resonates with me and seeing if and how it resonates with others.
I think you're assuming they are not available because they pushed back on the one specific thing about island size and not something else all together. It's not really proven that they are not available because they have that much integrity.

What you are both saying seems incompatible not just merely the title but also with the text of the article, where is states, "Earth’s gravitational pull also tends to restore LIGO’s mirrors to their original position, erasing its memory. So even though the kinks in space-time are permanent, the changes in the mirror position — which enables us to measure the kinks — are not." In other words, the article is claiming that there are two things being affected, spacetime itself, and the objects embedded in spacetime, but only the objects are temporarily displaced, spacetime itself is permanently displaced. At least, that's my reading.

But I wonder, notwithstanding the article's assertion, are objects really completely restored back to their former position in spacetime? Spatial coordinates, sure, but timewise? I don't claim to know the answer, just posing this as a question, but imagine a really powerful gravitational wave going through a large object. Wouldn't it create some kind of timewise interference pattern in the object where at the peaks of oscillation, the constituent subatomic particles would feel a stronger gravitational force and age more slowly than the particles at the troughs of oscillation? So after the wave had passed, you'd be left with an object that has areas of divergent age?

I mean even with standard GR we experience aging on a gradient, in that our feet are somewhat younger than our heads thanks to the gravitational pull of the Earth.

The whole thing about "L2 is a MEV-generating machine". Fucking hell, dude. If someone tells you (like I did in another thread) that you can not make an international transaction without losing at least 7% of the value, and that I already have made and received payments on layer-2 systems for fractions of a cent, what is so hard to acknowledge that the people doing it are not idiots?

Setup costs are one-off and independent of the value you are transferring off-chain. They are amortized through all the lifetime of your "account" and the transactions you made.

Paypal does not work like that. Credit cards do not work like that. Loopring does. Zksync does. Even if all these systems did was to make transfers of stabletokens from A to B, they would be already miles ahead of the status quo.

Yes, there are still "middlemen", but they are both (a) cheaper compared with existing methods and (b) part of a global market with no monopoly. Almost all of the tech that is being adopted is open-source, so there is no large competitive advantage that one can establish over the other. If a roll-up starts trying to jack up fees, others can basically make a clone and take all of the userbase overnight.

How to create an NFT – and why you may not want to
I thought the HackerNews crowd could do better than "Google/Apple/X is offering something censored / is complying with local laws / local government requests in China/Russia/X so it must be bad and they must stop".

Don't be so naive.

1. In order for US/international companies to survive in China/Russia/heavily censored countries or regions, they have to comply to local laws. Otherwise they are blocked or shutdown completely.

2. Despite having to comply, most of the times these large global companies have some power to fight back, negotiate and find middle grounds.

3. Having a presence is critical for the sake of the local people to seek information. Having Google censoring the search results would be 100x better than having Baidu willingly fake it. Having Apple fighting for all the information requests is 100x better than having local giants like Tencent and Huawei willingly building monitoring and censoring capabilities for all users.

Without the presence, the people in these regions and countries have no choice. They don't have ways to access even censored information or knowing about the censorship at all. They will be fed with much more twisted information. Companies like Apple are doing their best negotiating and fighting back. Maybe they have to comply with 10% of demands, but the local alternative will do 100% in a blink of eye. And ironically they are the target of blame in both China and the US. It is not fair to them.

Would you rather have someone fighting for the people, or would you want them to be like North Korea where nobody outside can get in?
That's totally true. You can use Plop Boot Manager to boot any CD, external hard drive, or USB stick from a floppy disk.
Absence of evidence doesn't seem as definitive as you're making it here, but it's worth noting that we have two counterfactuals we can use as a prior: Bing still works in China and Yahoo only pulled out last summer, in spite of public espionage and hacking incidents.

Three Ways to Celebrate the Public Domain in 2022
I agree with this guy fully (having been professionally bitten by exactly what he describes and also having to innovate a way around it) but casually dismissing old-timers and old-school ways of doing thing reeks of ageism and needs to be stopped. Grow up, folks.

In fact this entire culture of lambasting old stuff would be better off being taken out back and shot.
To be fair... and I really don't want to be fair to a lunatic who believes forest fires are caused by Jewish space lasers... Rep. Greene was stripped of all of her committee roles by unanimous (including Republican) consent due to her supporting political violence against Nancy Pelosi and the FBI. So she (at least) isn't likely to be influencing policy any time soon absent an actual Trump second term. Even the article you just posted mentions her being ridiculed by Republicans, who voted for the bill mentioned there anyway.

that said, I remember similar things being said about the Trans-Texas corridor when it was being proposed years ago, that it was just a secret way for Democrats to allow NWO troops into the US through Mexico to take over. So there definitely is a weird fear of mass transit infrastructure being some kind of socialist/communist plot among the American right. It still seems to be fringe, though. Rural voters want and depend on infrastructure spending, and it's an easy way to be seen "doing something."
I use OBS Studio and a virtual camera to drive my zoom meetings on wayland/linux. Works very well and you can do all kinds of cool things with it.
Yep, exactly. Sure, I've left out medical reasons but principally it's not what most people have in mind when they talk about 'doing drugs' - even replacing aspirin with something psychoactive (e.g. SSRIs or anti-psychotics).

My point was in response to the parent's 'is it so much different really' question - when you insist that all varieties of reasons that people might be ingesting psychoactive substances stay under the same banner it's a fair bit harder to have a useful conversation about it.

>I argued giving it power to "intervene" has a proven track record of...

This argument seems kind of weird or hypocritical to me. Government is nothing other than a group of people. Same with corporations. Of course, when someone intervenes against what you want or against your morals, you're going to dislike it or may even deem it evil. As after all, that's your opinion. Problem is not everyone in society has the same opinion on matters, hence why politics is a thing.

Perhaps if you think the government (people) shouldn't have power to "intervene", you (a person), or another group you approve of (yet again people) also shouldn't have power to "intervene" either? Not that you were arguing this, but... hopefully I've demonstrated my point.

Cars are often shipped with disabled seat heaters, CPUs are often shipped with disabled cores. As a customer I don't see why should I mind.

I understand in case of Tesla you don't like the idea of hauling those extra unused cells around. But you are buying a car model with a specific mass, acceleration and range. It makes no difference whether how exactly the producer fit into those parameters.
Hard for me to imagine the mindset of a bureaucratic drone who demands that people change the definition of physical reality.
I could buy the case for a label with "A - 2018 rating" and the number with equally large text underneath it. The issue is just that the rating is often completely non-informative, unless you always buy the latest-year model of appliance.
Conservation of energy gets a bit screwy with these kinds of cosmic models. Partially because there isn't a single direction of 'time', but also because all kinds of energy gets stored in the fabric of space-time which can cancel out all kinds of things.

Not to mention that there's no reason to assume conservation of energy still holds if the laws of physics simply change over time (which would be the case in the simplest possible theory were all interaction distances simply shrink over time).
That is a good question about why there is more emphasis on companies doing political advocacy rather than one's own government. It seems too weighted in companies doing the heavy lifting when this is likely to interfere with business objectives.

Local investment requests however aren't novel - India have made similar requests which Apple have also fulfilled. China is only notable here because they have consistent human rights abuse issues, and with that there is a certain idealism that any kind of interaction with such a country is a form of consent.

While Apple's situation here isn't particularly noteworthy, it's a good proxy for a wider question about US companies reliance on China.

Also those with a keen eye would notice that China hasn't given Apple much here - they are still regularly admonished by the state-run press and Apple have only a handful of their most basic services available in the country.
Yet solves probably 99% of use cases!
Concentration camp is a unfounded propaganda lie. The propaganda is so obvious that people just fall for it, because the West have been preparing to butcher China for their own gain since the early days the Chinese economy boom. They conditioned the mass on pure evil image of China. It's like hell without hope. Yet the people there are living a better and better life. But whatever, the mass in West are conditioned to take whatever extraordinary claims on China, without a slight critical thinking at all.

Genocide claim based on non local evidences, sure, that sounds plausible. Because it's China!

You know what I am glad about China and Chinese people? They have nuclear weapons. A lot of them, and still expanding.

Without that, China would have been invaded and dismantled by the west multiple times. And live like citizens in Iran Iraq and Syria.

I am here pointing out the ridiculousness because I know that extremism can be difficult to manage. There is a real danger of nuclear war if the mass are manipulated by the extreme group who just cannot accept China to not be intimated by the West.

> A someone outside of the US (and who never quite understood the state/federal divide!), I'm really curious about what state regulatory enforcement is in now. It seemed [0] that the recent Republican government aimed to make as much damage as possible to these safety nets. Are they still there and functional?

These are city-level regulations, and they're almost completely isolated from politicking.

Generally speaking: Most (but not all) news stories about US politics are greatly exaggerated. News media here competes for clicks, and the easiest way to get clicks is to transform every possible story into the biggest catastrophe possible.

In reality, while parts of our regulatory structure need some attention and improvement, the United States isn't really an unregulated wasteland. Just try building anything that doesn't meet code and you'll be in hot water very quickly, regardless of where you live here.
You’re not alone. Even the car insurance companies predicted that lower traffic volume would result in fewer incidents and therefore fewer claims overall, to the point of refunding premiums in 2020.

Now, I could get in to how state insurance commissioners found that the companies didn’t refund customers enough…[1] But that’s a bit besides the point — there was a marked decline in monetary claims volume during the height of lockdown. Incidents may have been more severe, but overall volume was definitely lower according to the commissioner’s study in the state of California.

I guess if you just focus on fatalities, it still adds up, but it is still quite a surprising statistic given the circumstances.

How would you go about reducing profits? If you add costs, the farmers will either pass them along to the purchaser or they will get out of the meat business. That means either higher prices (which should lower demand) or lower supply. In either case it looks like consumers eat less meat. I'm not trying to defend antibiotic usage. I'm curious what a reduced profit solution would look like, maybe I'm imagining it wrong.
In the paper, we provide several thoughts, including one example, when type _in_stability actually makes sense. In particular, the example concerns a typical `parse` function, that converts a string into an AST node. Assuming you have one struct per AST type, the parse function is unstable.

Generally, several well-known OOP design patterns would naturally lead to instability. In turn, those patterns can be handy to solve certain typical problems. If you have such a problem at hand, you have a choice: either do a well-known thing and embrace instability (which is actually not always all that harmful for performance), or get out of your way and torture your code to make it stable…

> The principle claim of this essay is that groups never change their viewpoints.

I understood that the principle claim is that groups never admit publicly that they were wrong.
Maybe in reading to much into it, but it is the interpretation I've got.
They can, and actually do change, but it is always a "path of victory".
And in the few cases that they admit they were wrong is to gain an advantage or when they are forced to: To appear humble, to pivot to a trending opinion before the "other side" do (and usually after a huge pressure).

We have several examples of this: Microsoft with Linux (now Linux is trendy, they want to embrace the developers that code on Mac, and so on), Germany after WWII (decided by the allies in the Postdam conference), or any political party that ever existed.
Huh, how? It takes scarce resources for the bacteria to produce many of the structures that protect it from antibiotics. Structures that are unused but require resources are selected against, or at the least decay through mutation. This is an extremely common and simple evolutionary effect.

How many people are actually trying to or even want to get into NK? How many would like to leave?

Because that is what Tim Cook Apple's marketing and PR suggest Apple does. The force of good. Social Responsibility and Justice. Standing up against the government. ( They didn't explicitly say this but the message is something fairly similar )

Instead of creating "insanely" great product for our customers, friends and family. It is now about product that "enrich" people's lives.

Like you said, Apple has to act on its own interest. Most of these wouldn't be problem for many had Apple not paint itself as so righteous.

I think you missed my parent comment where I said I devoutly check manufacturer's websites for alternative prices with almost every Amazon purchase I make.

And no, I'm not trading "any sense of assured quality" away. I've had more troubles with random 3rd-party vendors than I have with Amazon. I think people are greatly exaggerating the fault rate from Amazon simply because they order so many packages from Amazon. When it comes to things like lost or stolen shipments, I'd much rather deal with Amazon's liberal policies than go to battle with a random web store.
And apple is one of the few companies that could change that with more US or other non-dictatorship country investment. Apple has 200 billion in cash and other securities...

Yeah it's hard, but if they aren't willing to do it, maybe we as a society should enact laws to force their hand? It's not like it's an impossible task.
