He invented the term, not the methods. Before, they were just a disparate set of folk medicine cultures spread throughout China. By unifying and standardizing them all under the umbrella of Chinese medicine and claiming that they were just as good as western medicine, they were able to stave off demand for western medicine, doctors, and hospitals that they didn’t have or couldn’t afford.

Original title: Facebook says it’s not liable for false “fact checks” used to censor, because they’re “protected opinion”
I think, it's about the opposite of censorship: selective amplification by recommendation, governed by engagement metrics.

(What would have once been a mere footnote or a tiny bar fight, is now amplified by bringing in the equivalent of entire cities to the scene. What was small becomes big, and what would have been big goes unseen. This is a manipulation of social discourse in dimensions previously unknown.)
I slept through three tornado sirens last night. It was pretty wild. The first one, I thought it was a test. (We have tests every month on the 1st.) But it wasn't until a few minutes in that I realized it was for real.

Then apparently I just... went to sleep? That wasn't the smartest decision I've ever made. It went off a couple more times.

One strange thing was the realization that I had no idea where to turn for information. The fall of TV means that in a situation like that, there isn't any "tune to your local TV station" type broadcast. All you get is a tornado siren.

I imagine if nuclear armageddon ever happens, it'll be similar. Though at least with that, there'll be some information channel to turn to.

This very week I was dealing with my artifacts exploding in size because AWS got 429s from GitHub. Then Composer pulled from source and there were so many extra files and SCM folders we exceeded the max artifact size.

Another idea is to host your own package cache. That would be my preference where SCM size prohibits checking in dependencies themselves.

Flagged this. Some random video with no official investigation and countless speculations.

Keep in mind that Tesla will sue your ass for defamation if you post BS video and lie about it. Just ask the Chinese dude who posted about Tesla accelerating by itself into a crash. Turns out he stepped on the pedal himself but of course when someone on twitter posts about a Tesla fuck-up, it’s taken as gospel.

There was no evidence suggesting Trump's election win was not valid. The wild delusional conspiracy theories about how Trump colluded with Putin to hack the election under Obama's nose were not evidence, mind you.

So all those people, politicians, corporations, celebrities, and "journalists" peddling the Trump Russia conspiracy theories and false claims without evidence were anti-democratic pro-authoritarian? Or will there always be some excuse when "your" side does it?

That's terrible. Glad you are on the mend. I know it sounds hokey but it might be worth looking into lion's mane mushrooms as they have had some results with neurogenesis in the brain.
You seem to be unaware that there is a large and ever-expanding segment of 'society', in the US and UK at least, composed of people of all races and even social status (ghetto trash up to 'middle class' and beyond), both men and women, whose seeming sole objective in life is to have as many kids as possible and sign up for as many government checks as they can, so that they can 'live' exclusively off the backs of working people in society while contributing absolutely nothing of value themselves--not even to the actual welfare of their own children, who in the majority of cases 'grow up' to become equally unproductive leeches themselves, having learned by example from their own riffraff 'parents.'

In the UK, one such group are known as 'chavs.' It isn't a term of endearment.

Given the ignorance evident in your post, I wouldn't be at all surprised to receive a heated reply from you, calling me names and attempting to argue this inarguable fact, which is clear and obviously factual to anyone who has spent any time at all living out here in the real world aka 'flyover country.' Have you ever even been to jail?

Welfare queens come in all shapes, forms, and sizes these days. Some of the worst offenders are large corporations, though the largest by far are governments, of course.

The world is full of leeches who want something for nothing. Like for example these wealthy entities who in some cases make billions of dollars off the backs of open source developers, while the devs themselves may be on the brink of starvation, eating out of dumpsters and living in their car.

Unfortunate that the title got cut off:
"Six Amazon workers killed after tornadoes reduce warehouse near St. Louis to rubble"

But the bigger story here is that despite multiple warnings of dangerous weather, the workers at this warehouse still ended up having to choose between risking their life or being fired/written up for refusing to come in. They didn't feel like they had the power to say "No, I won't work because its too dangerous" and some of that paid for that with their lives. Everyone responsible for that decision should be prosecuted criminally for each of those deaths.
Thanks! I've seen it before and I wanted it to illustrate my point but was unable to google it effectively!

Blocks are a bit different, they can do things like return from the enclosing method. Ultimately I don't think it is worth the complexity and code coloring it adds.

You assume this is the case everywhere, in many organization managing people and managing technology are separate jobs. Managers have no say in how the architecture looks like, and very little to do with how SDLC looks like (outside maybe getting rid of organizational impediments or suggesting some other approaches to planning)

Imagine the conversation they had 2 years ago when they registered their .net domain.

Maybe 2 years ago, they were deciding on their corporate identity: maybe ABC, DEF, or GHI, ...

They decided on ABC even though they knew ABC.com wasn't available. THEY KNEW IT, so they took ABC.net instead. They could have made you an offer at that time, but maybe they weren't ready because their business wasn't profitable yet. No point in putting money into something isn't proven valuable yet, right? So they kicked that can down the road; delayed that decision to buy your domain.

So, now they want it, and they're engaging you now. They know they have no more claim on it than they did 2 years go.
The valid point is that too many cooks can spoil the soup. Mythical man month, if you will. Adding people who don't have the institutional knowledge to a software project even if they are rock stars at their own companies could do more harm inadvertently when trying to fix something time critical. So the additional proposal made here acknowledges that, and instead tries to remove as many non-work distractions and discomforts as possible for the people who CAN reliably fix this fast.
The state does not, in fact, render judgement on most of the mundane details of your everyday life. You get in disagreements, sometimes people are hateful, people say things you don’t like, and on and on, and the state has no opinion on any of it.

> This is a great example, perhaps companies like Jetbrains just assume that a certain percentage of their user base uses their product out of license and they just deal with it

Of course. The same thing that happens with piracy.

How much of Adobe, MS and software from other big companies is pirated every year? I've also heard the argument that if they went strict and went against all of them, no one will be familiar with their products and would levitate to something else.

When I was in uni, the majority of people with Adobe programs on their laptops just had it pirated. Now, when they go into industry, if they need to manipulate an image and all they know is Photoshop, guess what they'll ask for?

Same thing here IMO. Jetbrains makes some of their products free with some functionality removed. When the people go into their jobs and if they need that, they'll spend the money.

Same with Obsidian. If you use it and find it useful, when you go to work, you'll make the business case that it could be useful to do the work in an efficient matter. That will also sell others into using it.

Anyone know of examples in the US for OSS backed by a non-profit specifically setup for OSS maintenance? It then takes the profit motive out of the equation, mostly
I think the point is that while it would be awesome to just have everyone pay open source maintainers what they can afford to when they use their project, in practice relying on people's (or worse, companies') good will is a losing strategy. It seem wildly unrealistic to just expect that everyone will just naturally give back to open source in a meaningful way absent any actual incentives or requirements, and even if it did start happening there would be nothing the situation from returning to the way it was before. I think most of the arguments you'll see against the idea of "just give back to open source maintainers even though you aren't required to" aren't skeptical of the idea that people should be compensated for their work, but just skeptical that peer pressure is the only thing needed to turn the current open source model into one where all maintainers are fairly compensated.
No, this is what the lock file is for.

This demonstrate an lack of understanding of Chinese writing. Everything in "佢唔喺呢度" are used as phonetics in an informal setting, the same way that Pinyin work. Meanwhile "他不在這裏" are the written formal version used universally.

The pronunciation between various Chinese dialects are very different, often not mutually intelligible. The written form however is universal. Obviously, you can't use pinyin to spell out Cantonese (as pinyin is a phonetic representation of Mandarin) so that's why cantonese gets represented phonetically like "佢唔喺呢度".

There were talks about using pinyin (i.e. latin script) to replace written characters a couple decades back, they weren't that popular and was not carried out. Vietnam is an example that did.

Red Delicious, the worst apple in the world, is finally on the way out. For decades people have bought it because they were used to it or that's what was available. Truly terrible, with thick skin and a bitter, mealy interior.

My team's admin used to buy apples for us, including some Red Delicious. I explained that they were terrible so she stopped. It was easy to find supporting evidence in the form of 5 articles with titles like "Red Delicious is the worst apple in the world." No reason to buy them, except that they look pretty.

Recently there have been lots of new varieties, mostly distinguished by their good flavor and texture. Honey Crisp, as you mentioned, is one example. Cosmic Crisp is another: first available in 2019?, developed and grown in Washington state. Not sure if it's available in other states yet.
One day, fully alert and sober at something like 5 PM with no excuses, during a thunderstorm, I heard tornado sirens go off. I thought to myself, "sheesh they are only supposed to run tests at noon once a month, and not during sto- oh"
We have a very similar tax system in the UK called “TV Licence”. Originally it was aimed at live broadcast but now includes BBC on demand such as iPlayer.
There’s no hiding something this easily exploitable. This isn’t rowhammer or spectre where you need a degree to understand it. Copy and paste this in and that’s it. It would have never survived “responsible disclosure”
Can you post some citation for these allegations? Maybe this is being widely reported and I've just missed it, but I'm not aware of positive evidence for the allegations you've made.
> In fact, writing in dialect languages is not taught.

This is actually similar to Western Europe where there was a similar diglossia situation before the Renaissance. All formal writing by the few literate clergy at the time was in Latin, and there wasn't much writing in the vernacular languages spoken day to day.
No it's not. They are talking about their personal preference and it has nothing to do with real life employers.
I'm really not sure. It surprised me. I was just comfy.

It was also a question of probabilities; very few people die in an event like this, so the odds seemed in my favor. But of course, https://xkcd.com/795/ points out that fallacy.

Right … open source doesn’t guarantee an absence of problems, only that, in the worst case, a user can repair a problem herself. As you note, that’s strictly preferable to closed source, where a problem with a dependency is not guaranteed to be fixable by the user. Isn’t that enough?
Isn't this what emergency alerts are for on our phones?
The article doesn’t say that. Where’s an article that says they had to come in despite the dangerous storms?

You cannot make an overall lean. You can't just shift the center of mass.
What happens is that you angle your upper body relative to the bike. If your upper body leans left, the bike leans right. If a bike running hands free leans, the front wheel turns in the direction of the lean. There you automatically have the counter steering when biking hands free.
And this is really hard on a heavy motorbike. The bike will not angle much.
But was the old way really that ineffective? I remember driving to a big empty parking space on a Sunday with my father, he removed the training wheels, and after around 30 minutes, I got it. Learning to ride a bike isn't complicated, what makes it look so hard is that it is a sort-of binary skill. You can either hold your balance, our you can't, and so it will look completely impossible until you suddenly can do it.

Tom Scott learned to ride a bike in this 30ies, it didn't take long [0].

Interestingly, "training wheels" aren't called "training" wheels in Germany, but "supporting wheels" (Stützräder), and when I was a kid, nobody used them to "train" their children to ride a bike. They were used to transform the bike into another kind of vehicle the kid could use until it was old enough to learn to ride a bike.

Ive done quite a bit of years in agile and full time office jobds so i've seen some terrible things from full time people (i even got some of them fired because they were straight off *ucking their employers) :) so its a matter of choices and what you want to do, if youre a fordism believer then go ahead and sweat it out. Im on permanent contracts with companies/customers in both Europe and US. Is it so hard to believe that someone is "the captain" of their own ship? Or that you dont need tye sillt standup in the morning if people actually know what theyre doing and delivering great results? I do love to fire customers that are cheap or stresfull or require more than what they want to pay for. Im hiring ppl as well and i dont require from them that, and they deliver 100%. Some times giving ppl more freedom to arrange their work time and life as they want gives you their trust and grattitude and you dont need to worry about keeping them on x to x hour leash.

Btw. Your contract will be as you make it and as your customer sign it. Thats it. Theres no point in labelling contract is this or that. Its unique per situation.

Are Amazon workers somehow special that they get upvoted on HN. What a bizarre, bizarre society we're living in.
Agreed, I've seen so much of this on YouTube lately. I've become so disillusioned with product review videos lately because prominent channels clearly have an interest in maintaining good relationships with vendors in order to keep getting pre-release versions of products to review, and there's zero transparency around this entire system.

Do product reviewers always have to send the demo product back once the video is made, or can the vendor gift it to them after the fact (especially if the video is positive, wink wink)? Up-and-coming channels often shout out the companies they're reviewing directly (i.e. "Purple didn't sponsor this mattress review but feel free to send me stuff in the future!"). How can you believe that someone is providing an honest, balanced review when they say stuff like that?

I learned early in my career working at an advertising startup that advertising's biggest goal is to no longer be noticed or separated from the rest of the content pool, to be completely indiscernible, unrecognizable from objective content.. Getting rid of tracking would solve some major privacy problems, but YouTube is becoming one giant ad fest created by people who are pretending that they aren't making ads, and I don't see tracking removal solving that problem.
