You are, sadly, absolutely correct here.

We are pushing for ranked choice voting[1], which is slowly gaining acceptance in the public consciousness.

I don't think most people here were even aware of the complexities of the electoral system until the 2016 election (when, for example, millions of people in NY could not vote for Bernie Sanders because they were required to register a year in advance as Democrats to participate in that election - so first-time voters were effectively excluded -- and it was a NY-specific rule; primaries are effectively unregulated on a federal level).

With ranked-choice voting, the hope is that people will be able to vote for candidates that represent them without fear of "the other side" prevailing. Unsurprisingly, the two-party system is quite reluctant to introduce changes that threaten it.

for anyone passing by:

evolutionary fitness is about a population's ability to survive in perpetuity, not an individual. its a different context of the word "fittest". fitness here means odds of sexual reproduction, and so since a necklace with ionizing radiation will not prevent a wearer with low cognitive abilities and gullibility from creating viable offspring with the same genes before the cancer breaks through, it therefore has nothing to do with evolutionary fitness.

it is more likely that we select for these traits because we can't stand being around mates that are grounded in reality (or that those mates won't reproduce due other factors like ensuring not to)

I think this is a bad way to choose who gets to be a doctor, because if it is common knowledge then some demographic classes of doctors will be viewed as sub-par, regardless of individual merit.
This is a clever hack. However, I'm guessing that if the coupon sites you're scraping notice a lot of scraping activity, they'll start hiding the coupons behind CAPTCHAs to block the scrapers.

I love what you wrote here, a well written and fascinating take!

One thing though, do french people actually read several different newspapers on different sides? My preconceived notion is that they still just pick one to get their main source of news, even though they might be aware of the others.

And a second thought. If we can agree that there is sometimes truth to be found in what happened, what convinces you that summing up falsehoods from the left and falsehoods from the right will equate to the truth? (I've heard from some people that they "read all sides" but I haven't noticed their perspective being better in any obvious ways)

For example: vaccines don't have side effects, don't worry about it, and we need to get everyone vaccinated so we should force them (left) VS vaccines are alright but seems like they're dangerous and fuck the government so they shouldn't force people to do that (right).
The sum of the two doesn't really teach you the truth, but highlights the direct contradictions while giving you the impression that you have to pick one side of another (the US is super bipartisan, not like France which at least has several different parties with different opinions).

The truth here is: vaccines reduce likelihood of bad symptoms, gestation time and viral load, which in turn reduces chances of spreading and therefore chance of mutation which is a feared unknown (hello Omicron), some vaccines do seem to cause issues with younger folks (20-29 years old can get myocarditis) so we should be careful, but all in all, we don't have a better way to fix this situation than getting a lot of folks vaccinated.
Every project has bugs. Log4j just also happens to have literally the most scrutiny on the planet right now.

That's actually a great thing for the long term health of the project - it's getting a whole lot of free auditing right now. Many millions of dollars worth.

This may well point to the possibility that animals have a theory of mind.
Given that the battery was breached, that there are chemicals in batteries that can cause chemical burns and that the user apparently didn't know this and suffered diagnosed chemical burns, it seems unlikely that those burns are psychosomatic.
One feature of Perl which came to my mind this week because of the log4j vulnerability was Taint Mode.

https://streamelements.com/ appears to be a different thing than StreamLabs, and StreamElements is what the article references as a violation.

So first it's not just EDF. It's also AREVA and ANDRA. All three of those entities had major scandals in the past decades and seem to have taken exactly zero lesson from them. I'm really not the person most knowledgeable/aware on this topic, this is just from 5 minutes of searching the web.

2008: Greens/EFA report says official "energy independance" stat of 50% of a lie; when calculated on final energy not primal energy, it falls down to 24%, and down to just 8.5% when you take into account that uranium is in fact imported; it also touches on engineering issues, staffing problems...

2011: As part of a Greenpeace report about EPR, two insiders reveal serious defects https://www.sortirdunucleaire.org/IMG/pdf/greenpeace-2011-05...

2013: The post-Fukushima audit revealed no french setup takes such scenarios (no water/electricity) into account. https://www.sortirdunucleaire.org/IMG/pdf/globalchance-lapon...

2017: EDF/Areva knew since 2005 that they relied on an unreliable factory for building sensitive equipment https://www.franceculture.fr/economie/scandale-de-la-forge-d...

What's far more reasonable is that the universe is a loop. The big bang is simply equivalent to the death of the universe: see conformal cyclic cosmology. Cause and effect cease to have priority over eachother. We are equally coupled to both faces of the boundary, the past and the future, which are actually two sides to the same coin, our origin and our destination.
People have a tendency to conflate adjectives with identity, and don't like it when that identity is threatened. Give it a couple of years and I expect to get messages on social media inviting me to join groups for people with persistent COVID anosmia, and a couple of years after that they'll raise hell if someone comes up with a cure for it. Blindness, deafness, paraplegia, nearly type of bodily non-function is now who you are instead of just something about you.
It's probably not that it must continue but rather that it must pay the rent and salaries anyway, so if the venue is going to be 1/3 full then it's at least some revenue to compensate instead of nothing and they continue.

I unabashedly love this comment.

I'd add "Mastering Regular Expressions" and maybe "Perl Best Practices". Oh and definitely "The Perl Cookbook", because it mirrored the way I learn best; from needing to do "a thing" and finding an example that mostly fits what I need.

The issue here is not your European upbringing but rather the American justice system. Suing Americans can be awarded punitive damage while European countries cap what you will be awarded at compensatory damages. That makes Americans trigger happy.

You are believing things without evidence and falling at the same old-person moral panic as "video games cause violence" or "D&D causes suicide".
To my (limited) knowledge 100% of nuclear fuel used by French nuclear facilities comes from former french colonies in Africa, although french companies (Areva) are involved in uranium exploitation in other parts of the world as well.

I'm not saying french (neo-)colonies are the only place to get uranium from. I'm saying it's very cozy to have the dictators your colonial secret services set up over the years provide you with cheap resources.

this is a very sad point of view.

if you buy a product that comes with a pamphlet telling you how safe it is, you have to trust the manufacturer. you are also trusting that the product has passed all the necessary safety requirements. if that product is food or for children, that trust is even higher.

if an accident happens to you, you need to contact the right people so: 1. it does not happen to others 2. your damages, if possible, are covered.

that's how we make it safer for everybody.

>It might already be there? Just that the warning is so standard and ubiquitous that it is universally ignored (lots of things contain lithium and have the potential to explode).

No, the warning is not there.[1]

The manual instructs the user to take headphones off if you experience a "warming sensation", that's all.

The generic warnings aren't for normal operation; as in "improper use, like <...>, may lead to <...>". There was no improper use here, which is why it's a concern.

Additionally, there are many ways in which a device can fail. These Bose QC 35 II headphones not only caught fire, but also caused chemical burns.

Clearly, the engineers were aware of the dangers, but the product managers decided they can get away with saying "take them off if there's a warming sensation" without adding "BECAUSE THIS MEANS THEY ARE ABOUT TO CATCH FIRE AND SPRAY YOU WITH HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS, RUN FOR YOUR LFIE".

This is nothing surprising. I'm not talking about the bug, but the report.

I can't think of a very good answer, but these books come to mind and may possibly be useful:

Aristotle, Rhetoric https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhetoric_(Aristotle)

Quintilian, Institutio Oratoria https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institutio_Oratoria

I guess there are more modern books on the subject :-) Those two are fascinating though. And "Playing Devils Advocate" reminds me of:

Eric Berne, Games People Play https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Games_People_Play_(book)

Also I've read books about informal logic that cover different domains of writing, speech, etc.
Do we understand large language models?
>I know the games I like; they are all old and I know I love them.

Maybe you should try playing something different. A new challenge might encourage you to concentrate more and/or build neuroplasticity, and you could find some satisfaction there.
The python formatter, I guess.

https://github.com/psf/black
It's also a very bad idea in e.g. C, where printf has all kinds of exploitable behaviour if the attacker controls the format string passed into it. Format strings are a kind of code, and should be treated as such when considering injection attacks (by far the worst aspect of the log4j bug what that it would expand these strings on the final formatted strings: this was completely unnecessary for the features they were aiming to support and made the vulnerability even worse).
It takes discipline to return to active reading, to re-acquire the proficiency in automated reading.

> my eyes move but I don't read the words

That's also an understandable consequence of having become information scavengers, used to spend time trying to retrieve the important signal in the mass of noise. The information available in the formation years of many was structured in the essays ("careful pace") and breathing in the narrative ("flow and occasionally pick") - today facing "informational landfills" is much more common (this included, e.g., newspaper titles, with few exceptions). One should probably consciously scavenge the more loose texts, and return to a punctual reading of the more structured and reliable texts, after evaluating what kind of text one has in front - to use the type of reading that is appropriate.
What practical things can I do to get better at my job? Ive always been a procrastinator but since the pandemic I've become like op. Very little work on job, whole weeks where I don't do anything. It's double edged sword, I have rekindled some old hobbies but I feel a lot of guilt about not being good at my job. I get by just about at work some people love my work some people hate working with me.

I would love to learn from successful people like you, is there anything you can recommend reading or any course to learn?

I guess this is a big difference between perl and python. Perl gives you a powerful concise syntax and relies on you to either try quite hard to keep things sensible and readable or deal with the monstrosity you create. Python tries to coerce you into producing something more reasonable. Language preference might come down to whether you have to read/debug other people’s code which was not written in an empathetic manner. Years of dealing with horrendous buggy legacy C is probably why I’m currently so enthusiastic about rust right now.

Hi jacquesmattheij Team,

Hope you are doing well.

My experts were analyzing your website and found that your website is not handling recent updates from search engines.

It’s a fact that having a website won’t make you bring in visitors. If you do not get higher search visibility, rankings, and organic search traffic, you may fall behind your competitors.

Google wants its visitors to have the best possible experience and these factors play an important role in determining your rank in SERP:

1. For most of the competitive keywords or phrases you rank beyond 100.
2. Your website is not ready for the upcoming responsive design update.
3. So many technical errors present on your website making it difficult to index.
4. Lack of theme-based quality backlinks.

We follow a technically advanced and tested approach to adhere to the latest algorithmic updates. We will prepare an advanced digital marketing campaign to generate maximum traffic and enhance your ranking.

Sounds Interesting! Please reply to us back and our PR executives will get in touch, with a detailed analysis report without any obligation.

Best Regards,

Linda barony
