The believers argue the COVID lockdowns allow the government to the change the batteries.
At some point eugenics was very much "progressive" way of thinking. People tend to forget that every old idea at some point was progressive and new, progress itself doesn't mean it will we judged right by future generations.

Also its very much as alive right now - we abort the vast majority of fetuses with known birth defects, we just don't want to call it that. Doesn't matter your view of abortion but its difficult to argue against it.

For many with Crohn’s, this is more or less the treatment. Many times it is less because it’s most effective, and more because surgeries removing portions of the large/small intestines has made them incapable of digesting other forms of food. I guess my question would be - would you want to live on Soylent the rest of your life, if it could be avoided? I think most would answer no.
why? a friend said it's because he doesn't have to pay tax, i corrected him last year. are people doing this because they really think they don't have to pay tax unless they swap to actual USDs? Or they're just hiding their USDs away from the IRS and other taxation entities?

It's enough for me, but I don't want to use GNU/Linux alone. It becomes much more reliable and powerful when many people use it.
At least with tulips you could plant a nice garden. And if you could keep the deer and voles away, they would slowly multiply over time, with no quantitative easing needed at all, just sun, rain, and good soil.
You should check out this video:

Why Gifted Kids Are Actually Special Needs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUjYy4Ksy1E. It is a truly excellent video for helping to understand some of the psychological/emotional challenges of being "gifted."

Internalizing the ideas spoken to in this video has been a huge gift to my mental help. For a long time, I held it against myself that I didn't try harder in college, and that if I did, I would be in a much better place. The reality is that for kids who do extremely well in high school with little effort, doing poorly in college is the default response. It takes a major intervention to get and stay on the right path, and many "gifted" kids of the past generations never got that since it was assumed they were smart enough to figure things out on their own.
I got Crohn's about the same age (34).

A couple years later at 36 I'm now on better health than I've ever been. I responded well to a biologic (vedolizumab aka Entyvio). But I also did exclusive enteral nutrition for months concurrently to help push me the edge. These days I eat a lot of sweet potatoes and chicken, with relatively little processed food.

I also feel like theracurmin helps me https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32412598/
>who decides

in this case, the leadership at Caius College. in every other case, the same sort of people who made the decision to celebrate the individual in the first place.

in a broader sense, history does - the same people who rail against taking down statues seem to like talking about how history will view the leaders of today. "cancelling" historical figures is the literal implementation of "history will judge my actions". history has judged this guy, and decided that eugenics aren't cool.
A better approach would be damnatio memoriae, as with the Venetian Doge Marin Falier, whose official portrait was covered with black velvet and a mention this was done for his crimes (attempting a coup).
Yeah, he talks as if this hasn't been tried before. See agda or Idris.
Same, I do all my gaming on Linux. And it surely improved by a huge margin in the recent years. There are some issues to resolve yet, but it's surely usable for a wide range of people now and I'd totally recommend it even if Windows can be simpler to use in some cases.
When I received my second COVID-19 shot, I felt nauseous for days. The person who administered it was a lot older than the first. Normally I am very strong so it was weird that I felt anything. I feel like this placebo effect is exactly what was the difference for me, now that you mention it.
Better off getting a proper elemental diet. Plenty of things in soylent that can set me off if I’m already flaring or predisposed to one.
There are a surprisingly large number of changes since ~1900 that have had big environmental effects on "modern life" that we are barely getting to grips with - this cold chain one is new to me but it fits in with electric lighting, urban noise and air pollution and even mass literacy etc as massive changes we can barely get to grips with

I am deffo not arguing for some return to some paeleo, noble savage ideal. But our poor bodies evolved for something very different to eating burgers on a plane under flourescent lighting whilst reading text on a screen.

Whatever we build as societies in the next 100'years, we should build at human scale.
Hah, funny enough Entyvio was my first biologic and I didn’t respond to it! I’ve been on a biosimilar of Remicade for about 2 months now and for the first time in over a year, am completely off prednisone and in remission!

Congrats on finding something that worked and hoping for the best for your continued remission!
Are you really cool with that though? It implies no mathematician, scientist, artist, writer, athlete, politician, soldier, or activist should be celebrated or admired unless they exactly conform to the ideological purity standards of modern progressives? If you are cool with that, you and those who think like you are precisely why people get so agitated when statues are pulled down and windows hidden in basements.
A temporal correlation is basically saying that the correlation is strong when broken down by time.

Of course, causation is trickier; roosters don't cause the sun to rise, even if they occur simultaneously (or even slightly before!).
Yeah, the "find the yellow key" style gameplay was par for the course at the time, but does feel one dimensional. Half Life changed that, but also System Shock (Classic) was a lessor known game of that era that was hugely different on this point. If you like games of this era I'd suggest checking it out. It uses a different control scheme vs most FPS's, one that ultimately the industry did not chose to follow, and that bothers some people, but I think it fits the gameplay and the rest of the game is so compelling it's pretty forgivable even if you dislike it.
I thought we did it (actually the ancient Chinese did) so that we don't have to pay in bags, wheelbarrows and horse carts of heavy (as in mass) metals whenever larger transaction needed to be made?

But what do I know, conspiring about evil governments & banks trying to print money out of thin air is a much more sensible argument, right? Just as there is an article on the front page on Tether "minting" a billion USD equivalent Tether out of literally thin air ...
On alternative therapy: is the magnitude and actual relief from the placebo effect (e.g. how much pain relief are we really talking here) more important than the damage it causes by promoting unscientific thinking (e.g. which gives rise to avoiding vaccinations or avoiding chemotherapy that directly leads to deaths)?

What's the most impressive placebo effect and its limits? Can it cure cancer? Fix broken bones? Give you virus immunity? Is it mostly a bit of pain relief we're talking about?

Can we take advantage of this effect without having to wrap it with all the unscientific thinking and pseudoscience that comes with alternative therapy?

Whenever I read people defending alternative medicine and how powerful the placebo effect is, I don't think e.g. a little bit of pain relief is good enough to justify billion dollar industries that are allowed to sell products where they can't prove they work more than a placebo. This is as close as you can get to saying it's been proven these medicines do not work and yet they're still allowed to sell them.

You can't confuse the public like this and be surprised when they won't listen to the science behind masks and vaccines.
This research group is developing a therapeutic Crohn's vaccine:

https://crohnsmapvaccine.com/

https://crohnsmapvaccine.com/faq/

Their idea is that Crohn's is caused by the bacterium mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (or MAP for short). MAP has been proven to cause Johne's disease in cattle so the idea is that Crohn's is the same thing in people.

They've started safety trials in patients with Crohn's. The next step is a wider trial to demonstrate efficacy.
There's quite a gap between "erasing" someone and celebrating them.

It seems to me to be perfectly reasonable for an organisation to decide that they no-longer want to celebrate someone.
My first though when i read this was "um... Twilio, Telnyx and Signalwire all do texting... why do i need... (facepalm) network down... ahhh!!! Bookmarked!" very handy!

"suppose for all sets of n horses, every horse in the set has the same color."

But that is clearly not true if I have a set of n horses, n-1 out of which are black and one is brown. So the premise is already wrong.

1) Git commits have timestamps.
2) Proving I did on company laptop is their onus. Innocent until proven guilty. ;-P
3) I do that. Along with randomisation of sample data. but yeah, you make a very important point in general. 99% of people get screwed on such things.
4) If I do something using company laptop, it is bound to be logged somewhere. All my git visits are also logged and archived for 10 years as per law. So proving I did it using company laptop is easy and it is them who have to prove it. And a foolish lawyer is a dream come true because then I can keep dismissing his every argument as wasting the learned court's time.

But yes, keeping things straight forward is always a better idea.

How and how much are you betting?
That sort of thing is routine if you speak at events etc. I don't recall ever seeing it in one of the few employment contracts I've seen but companies quite commonly use employee quotes/photos/etc. to put a face on the company and, whether or not it was in a contract, most employers would probably assume it was part of the job at some level.
if you and ten thousand others, can accurately and repeatedly find and describe the same people with these labels .. then MAYBE?. Your view of that suspect person now, today, will change..

These obviously negative terms become a mud fight, where each accuser "sticks" others with as much mud as possible, since every single person on earth is imperfect..

one way forward from this depressing situation is to instead, celebrate virtue, and the contest is to find and identify virtue.. meaning "someone did or said something positive" with positive evidence.. that takes away the mud fight and gets everyone looking for virtue. I suggest, do not throw insults as a substitute for seeking and honoring virtue, and find the virtue in others, as a way to move the conversation.

Real -- Humans are dangerous pack hunters, and the reasoning of the mob is notoriously fickle.. If the activity of the day is to "out bigots" and "get them" .. I guarantee you it will descend further

I'm not going to pay $9 a month to unlock what is effectively documentation.

Make the product or library itself paid in some form, sure...but I don't understand why you would hold your own marketing material hostage that way.

I also don't understand why there are video-based examples of what looks to be a React component.
But were they morally and culturally equipped to recognize those issues as failures, or were they simply average people of their time, that spent time debating what was to them a fringe, extremist idea that made little sense? If the latter, can you condemn them for not being remarkable in this regard too, as they were on political, philosophical, scientific and patriotic issues? Can, indeed, any man be such a timeless conscience that is not only revolutionary to the their time, but to all future moral codes?

You are most probably not among the universally righteous minds of our times, you are just an average man of our time. I don't think that means, by default, that all your actions are not worthy of praise of that your failing by an undisclosed future moral crime (such as eating sentient animals) negate all your moral choices today.
The problem with such accomplished and genius people is that when they talk about what they did, it feels too much.

Guess what: it is much.
Sure, but he's not being called out for being one of many intellectuals subscribing to the once fashionable proto/pseudoscience of eugenics, he's being called out for enthusing about the Nazis desire to improve their stock in a postwar defence of a scientist charged with being a Nazi, which many more nuanced takes on his contribution to science acknowledge paint his views on "defectives" in an unflattering light even if we assume he was somewhat naive with that comment and certainly not as problematic as, say, Spearman.

I have no idea what Fisher's wider politics were, but I have a pretty good idea of what the politics of the publication are.
It definitely matters how I interpret it as I'm one of the parties signing it.

The judge comes in when there is a disagreement on the interpretations, which means I have to state what makes my position stand and bring arguments. With a clause that states "the company owns all", I have no arguments I can come up with, but with the one in the post above, I can at least come up with the reson that "it falls outside that clause written here in the contract".

It might be, or not be enough, but at least I have one thing I can use to my advantage and not make a fool of myself in court.
Yeah, it's not like I don't get their angle. It's valid, drove a lot of engagement with their content, and I can respect the commitment to the bit. But at the same time I just see a single point belabored over and over again instead of really digging into anything really interesting.

I can't predict how their series will continue, but I think they've missed a massive opportunity to use the same premise and display just a little bit more self-awareness about how people experience different levels of software skill (or graduated steps of competence in any endeavor, really).

I thought for a few seconds that such a change could only help the content, but after snapping out of it I realized: no, that would only give it appeal to me. Of course it would hurt the content overall. This content is bait for people who want to laugh/facepalm at linux masochists and people who want to laugh/faceplam at a noob struggling.
> I am not defending Tether, quite the opposite. My only argument is in favor of Circle, and even then admittedly in terms of "Circle at least provides a better sense of legitimacy".

My bad, lost my sense of bearing in a Tether thread. I agree with you here, and for the blockchain work I do, I use USDC.

Appreciate the rest of your comments. Didn't mean to jump on you.
I met Mr. Wolfram once, chatted with him for quite a while.

He was super down to earth and kind, even though it was obvious to both of us that he was completely out of my league.

I saw him give a talk at SXSW and deal very patiently with idiots in the crowd that were using the q & a session to score cheap political points.

Overall, I was pretty impressed with the man. Much smarter than I'll ever be.
> If you did not then get to a palliative ward in a hospital and discuss with people.

People think this is such a winning argument.

I've been in them. I've worked in EMS. There's not been a single patient that I've encountered where I thought for a second, "I wish I could give them the option to end their life."

> Seriously - all these discussions from people who are either into religion or some books and did not experience the problem themselves is exasperating.

I'd argue it's your side of the debate which could use some more reading...
I hope those were the small pills
You can, as long as what you are working on was already by management internally. Otherwise... you're right. Would only bring problems if/when someone is set on making your life hard.
Fecal transplants also have put people in remission.

I tried to set a buy order for Tether at less than $1 and the exchange (Kraken) would not let me, maybe that's why?
I wouldn't hold my breath on Firefox adding support for importing inside workers. I've personally worked around it with the convoluted solution of bundling modules with the in-browser version of esbuild immediately before playing (the use case being in-browser modular playgrounds and editable stuff such as this).
> A UBI doesn’t necessarily result in inflation. The later is a combination of monetary policy and expectations.

All fiscal policy is monetary policy; government spending its own fiat is money creation.

UBI is expansionary monetary policy. (Of course, it can be offset with money destruction, e.g., taxation.)
So, your example of people saying the technology is "beyond reproach" is me saying "I don't think knee jerk dismissal is the right stance"? Your proportions seem off.
I honestly probably would not have clicked if the retailer mentioned was Costco or Walmart. I assumed Amazon implemented some unique mind-blowing tech solution to the problem.
Crypto does not really provide anything new here. You can say that about traditional banking systems as well.
20% better than prophet sounds great.

But then, I've read a couple of posts discussing in depth how prophet itself was not always the go-to model [1], so perhaps some caution is in order.

Have to add my own anecdote to yours because this type of shifty behaviour is apparently common.

I was not hired as a developer, more like devops. But I ended up creating a lot of code. And through sheer principle I did it all open source. Created public repos of everything and then private branches for our internal Git.

Fast forward 7-8 years and we're using our parent orgs system to manage salary, vacation and stuff like that.

My manager wants me to approve something in this new system so I login and I'm greeted with a new employee contract.

The system says I have to sign this to proceed, and in this country we have digital identities so signing it would be as simple as taking out my mobile phone, starting an eID app, challenge, response, code, voilá signed.

Luckily I became very suspicious, downloaded the PDF version instead of signing it. Read it carefully, showed friends who are in the business.

Turns out it was the exact same clause, everything I create, on or off hours, belongs to parent org.

I simply refused to sign it and since I was already hired from a previous contract they removed the requirement from the system so I could proceed.

Now I believe this was a simple case of Hanlon's razor, but damn it would have caught a lot of less vigilant people.

And to be fair, I have nothing against keeping certain code private. If my employer tells me that a project cannot be open source then I will comply. But by default anything I write is open source unless anyone requests otherwise, or I consider it a bad idea due to some reason that is usually about security.
> Amazon doesn't send me shit I don't order and don't want.

It did to me! I received about a dozen packages ordered from Russia/China and this stopped only after escalating with customer support to the point of cancelling my Amazon account.

> also have the protection of law to keep them going.

The law is actually what makes them weaker. Do some light research on why the USPS is not 'profitable'.

> More than 95% of my mail is junk mail and there's nothing I can do about it.

There is something you can do about it. See https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/how-stop-junk-mail.

The USPS is a service, not a corporation, it shouldn't turn a profit. Does the army turn a profit? Or the navy? Why isn't anyone talking about the ATF 'losing' 1.2 billion a year while having overlapping responsibilities with countless other TLAs? How much money is our Coast Guard making us? Perhaps we should privatize the Coast Guard. Just saying..

As someone who didn't grow up in the US I never really understood the hate the USPS is getting. They've been systematically fucked by both sides of the political 'divide' and yet they still deliver my election ballot on time. They aren't even allowed (see both sides of the political divide) to set their own package prices, yet there is this continuous annoying stupid propaganda that they need to be profitable.

It's fine. in 20 years (if we survive as a country by then) when A-Z Epistle™ by Prime™ will be the only mail carrier for $9.99/month (or bundled with your Prime membership). They'll definitely find a constitutional loophole to make that happen.

Next time someone asks why the USPS isn't profitable, I'd gladly invite you to explain to me what is our ROI for the $83 billion spent sustaining the Afghan government.
this type of thing is built into a newer Lenovo tablet I have.
It's not evident from the headline, but the author of this article definitely sees the secession movements as mostly conservative-driven. There's a gesture at California secession, but it's pretty clear from the numbers that this whole thing is driven by conservatives, or maybe more accurately, Trump supporters. The only specific example given is Texas secession.

What's the end state of this? A few technocratic formerly Democratic-supporting coastal nations, some very theocratic and authoritarian midwest and southern small nations? Who do these theocratic oligarchies trade with? They can't provide all their own needs.
You might be attaching some temporal qualities to the phrasing, but that's not how I read the comment. Generally, if you want to make a government investigation go away, you cooperate by demonstrating your innocence. Of course, it's the government's job to prove guilt, but usually good actors have an abundance of mitigating evidence at their disposal, and it's usually just easier to say "here's the evidence, we're not guilty".
>But there is a fair probability it becomes worthless, meaning that you gain from it.

>While you need to pay premiums in the interim, for something with an indefinite timeframe, that risk seems fairly minor for the potential reward.

1. the chance of collapse might be lower than you think. the "tether is going to collapse any day now" sentiment has been around for years now, but collapse has proved elusive.

2. borrowing costs are high. I searched around and it looks like the APY for lending out tether is around 9%. The cost for borrowing tether is certainly higher. If you held a $100 short position for 5 years, and there was a total collapse at the end of year 5, then you'd make $65 (factoring in interest payments). That sounds good, but chances are thether probably has more money in the bank than $0. If it only collapsed to $60 (ie. they went bankrupt but had 60 cents of real money for every dollar issued), then you'd only make $5.

3. there are rumors/conspiracy theories that tether/bitfinex/tether affiliated exchanges force USDT/USD rates up periodically to force liquidation of tether short sellers. If you're caught in one, you'd lose money and be forced to rebuy tethers at an unfavorable price.
Indeed, Twitter is for angry people to vent and for social validation. Ticket closed with "As intended". Thanks for your suggestion.
