How do you feel about telephones, public spaces, or even private spaces that allow information like this to be spread? What about books?

It's a lot easier to just go along with things that nobody asked you permission to do anyway than to point out flaws. Also, by "flaws," are you including the opinion that "fact-checking" as practiced is bad and shouldn't be done? That rings strangely; you wouldn't say that somebody telling you not to eat cyanide is pointing out a flaw in your eating of cyanide.
I think this is valid. Intersectionality may make sense as a legal theory for scrutinizing patterns of discrimination in industrial relations. This is where it originated.

However, it tends to be used as a theory of personality too, despite there being no science whatsoever to support it.
Of course the predictions should be investigated and validated, but only after the events have come to pass. If you're going to write something beforehand (e.g. contrasting the predictions of various experts), don't call it a fact-check, because it's not about facts, it's about opinions. Informed, educated opinions yes, but still fundamentally opinions.
A log of my whereabouts and activies I consider my personal document, exactly the same as I consider a paper version stored in a briefcase. I took the false example from the article and adapted it rather than just using the headline.

"Imagine a homicide in an alley caught on a nearby surveillance camera. The video is clear enough to see the attack, but too grainy to identify who did it. It is obvious from the video, however, that the perpetrator is checking his cell phone as he walks out of the alley. Having determined the location and time of the killing from the video, would it be lawful for the police to obtain a warrant leveraging the tracking capability of mobile devices to identify whose cell phone was in the area of the crime when it occurred?"

In this case I swapped a digital briefcase for a physical one. If I hire someone to carry my briefcase it does not negate my right to the protection of it or its contents.

There are some VPNs that do a "security scan" and require other nanny-type software to be present and working. And some places make it hard to use a 3rd party client via that security scan, or 2FA support, etc.
It seems like a good thing to search all the people with a similar briefcase in the area.
This will directly help to resolve the case and reassure the population that the police takes the situation very seriously.
You're saying that Facebook should be compelled to host speech and that its employees may, at most, make a comment about that speech in the comment section.

How would you feel if I told you that you must put a campaign placard in your front yard, and that if you don't like it you may always put a post-it note under the sign expressing your discontent?
I definitely thought the photo was AI-generated when I saw it.
So do any other attempts to label and "systemize" people. Talk about Hogwarts Houses, or astrology. But we know the latter two are fiction, right? Right?
I think it's worth reevaluating the word 'recreational' here. Except for festivals, or longer parties as someone already mentioned 300mg is an enormous amount to consume in one sitting, especially without a good understanding. 90g per month seems quite unsafe.
I think GP commenter was replying to your remark that ketamine infusions cost thousands of dollars, not your remark about mushrooms.
You tend to get deals on bigger purchases. But it's a pretty typical pattern for people to destroy all their savings, and social capital very quickly during the escalating dose phase of drug addiction. My friend who got hooked liquidated his retirement funds, sold his car, house, borrowed tens of thousands from family & friends & banks, committed insurance fraud, and embezzled from his employer. Probably over $100K and all gone within 18 months to ketamine and meth.
Again, I haven’t read the book or know anything about the author. All I know is that this article is asserting the author of the book is a fraud. That is a positive statement, and insufficient evidence has been provided from my reading.
Educating yourself on psychoactive substances is a good advise. Saying that, many people who are dealing with depression and anxiety need active help. Growing and consuming your own mushrooms might be a very counterproductive or even dangerous advise for an inexperienced person with severe anxiety.

Managed ketamine therapy starts as low as $1200 for 6 sessions I believe.
Same can be said about any white collar job, why is that suddenly a problem here?
all of lodash features would probably become a native thing soon enough
I'm not too sure, most NFT trades are done on the ethereum blockchain. Though other blockchains with lower gas fees are starting to be used more.

Most people who aren't wealthy do not participate in NFT trades, and most adults don't even know what it is.

At this point, there's too much institutional money and development momentum to go back two years ago.

If Bitcoin was to drop below 20k, it would probably be bought instantly as it would be considered a great deal.
Ketamine and Psylocibin are in no way equivalent.
The book looks interesting, too bad it's absurdly expensive. The printed version appears to be priced such that it will only be bought by academic specialists in IR (or, more likely, they will get their institution's library to buy it).
Facebook makes money by hosting click bait.

Facebook is worried about public perception if they host false information.

The financial incentives are all wrong, and people make money with click bait headlines, so we're going to watch companies like Facebook wrestle with this, and sometimes make what we consider to be "the wrong call."
Yes: touching any header file causes a full rebuild. Remember that ccache is "under the hood" doing memoization. So, a clean rebuild could still hit ccache, whereas a scratch build starts from an emoty ccache.
For example: This year military got 25 billion USD extra, and $1000 per child was taken away from families with children.
CES 2022 will introduce HDMI 2.1a, another confusing new spec
The truth, real truth, is EXTREMELY hard to ascertain. Therefore, be open to new ideas, but slow to accept anything as absolute truth.

Talking about trying to find an "absolute truth" is disingenuous. Yeah, we absolutely know 1+1=2, but it's impossible to absolutely know how a stock will perform. Often times, a situation doesn't call for finding "the real" or "absolute" truth, but coming to a conclusion using only the best info you have on hand at the moment.

In most cases, you can find the best info. You have to know how to find it though, how to weigh one source against another. It's like the old proverb about teaching a man to fish rather than giving them a fish. Learning "how to fish" is something you're taught in school, but then again, there are those in power that are making it harder to get a proper education. That's something to be wary of. They aren't just taking our fish, but our ability to fish.
Most definitely. I'm going through some of this with therapeutic MDMA use for my PTSD. It's definitely been a journey, and not always a pleasant one, but, I believe I'm better off now after a few sessions than when I started.

Isn’t helium notoriously hard to contain without leakage even in a closed system?
this article lost me when I saw those numbers. It also treats heat like some kind of magic and not based on thermodynamics. heat is heat, no matter how quickly or slowly it spreads. A big thermal mass will hold heat, but will also take longer to heat in the first place. You're spending the same number of BTUs in the long run.
I think the occasional discussion of a notable person's death is an exception to the rule.

I think this would be a less controversial opinion if the deceased were a well known artist, but because Madden "only" is an icon to three generations of people by shaping the game of football and sports video games, it's too pedestrian.
> To make this happen, often times it means someone else is doing horrible things for you.

I suppose this is probably true to some degree at all times, but in today's world, I think the US could stop doing 99% of the bad things it's doing and I would be no worse off, and probably better. Especially if they went back in time and stopped doing those things from at least 20 years ago.
Jesus Christ this line:

>"If Chief Scott is claiming that his hands are tied, it’s his fingerprints on the rope."

Talk about tone deaf.
The blockchain itself is nothing bad or wrong, it's an interesting piece of technology in fact. The issue is that the current valuation of the whole crypto market is based on future, hopeful and unrealised potential, based on shaky foundations and questionable politics, not on actual value. Which is fine, but it starts to be an issue when laymen buy into it because they see a high price and think this must mean high value. And thus it increases, and more hopefuls and people with more money than sense keep the party going and more suckers are pulled in. But while the price has increased a million-fold over the years, the value has remained the same.

Yes, it certainly feels like a Ponzi scheme.

That's a scary prospect, but not what I meant. If they went away, or weren't plastered on any controversial news piece, it's not as if one's judgment and trust of sources would be worthless. What are the qualifications for the average fact-check reporter? I know it's hard to say these things when one of the most profitable and fundamental abilities since the beginning of propaganda has been manipulating the populace and its judgment, but we ought to do better!

An actual unchanging truth is extremely beneficial for planning. But if you're planning with open eyes, you know that what you actually have are probabilities based on what you know when you make the plan, which I believe to be GP's point.

Anyway, there's no other definition of "truth" that isn't a mockery of the word as used. In practice you work with the closest you can get at the moment, but you don't redefine your terms down to match.
Right, back in the olden days, you'd have a couple of drunk guys at the end of the bar ranting about their BS, and at most, you'd just kind of give them some room. Maybe people might start avoiding the bar if it regularly filled up with angry loons. Now their rants get spread far and wide across the internet.
Yes, but what alternative is there when health institutions are willing to blatantly lie for political reasons?
Yes - fusion and fission are different. They both have the scary word "nuclear", but they're opposite nuclear reactions, and the fundamental level for that reaction is that fission is not safe and fusion is.
Yes, this is one of the most shameless examples of "fact-checkers" being partisan flak-catchers
> Yeah, and they can quit and work somewhere else that’ll pay them just as well if they don’t like it.

I think that's the main sentiment in those threads and the main response to that is "oh woe how dare you think like that, you prima donna".
Since when does free insurance stretch the definition of subsidy?

Clean up costs in Fukushima will total about $1 trillion.

Probability of a core melt accident in 1 year or reactor operation is apparently 1 in 3704.

Insuring for that much with zero profit margin would be $269 million per year per plant.

That's about 1.5x-2x the cost of operating a nuclear plant.

It's a lot of money to handwave away.
How is that "literal nanny state?" We're talking about removing a home assistant's ability to tell you to do something lethally stupid. Basic consumer safety measures are a staple of a healthy society; just because a device is in your home doesn't exempt it from the government setting safety standards for it. If anything, the opposite is true.

Though on your last point we agree. Throwing the thing out the window is the best solution overall.
>Typically experts are people who have spent far more time than other people doing exactly what you're describing: slowly sifting through and cross-referencing data, asking questions, digging up resources, and testing hypothesis.

Are we still talking about Facebook fact checking experts?
that's actually pretty cool! I often find myself researching a topic and then reluctantly having to close a ton of tabs when I have to do something else. This is a great solution - installing this, thanks.
They sure do make a big difference! Couple with a low distraction environment so that the benefit is used on what it’s intended to be used on, and not on something more interesting.
Doesn't liquid helium always evaporate?
I believe Flickr started off with a white background.

I also remember Flickr being an extremely popular site. Then, Yahoo acquired it. Then they started censoring it. Then they neglected it. Then Flickr became effectively a ghost town. Since then, apparently SmugMug has acquired it.
You're arguing in bad faith if you think that books or telephones have the same kinds of dynamics that social media does. And if you want to pick examples from those, no one forces local book stores to carry some racist screed calling for the extermination of a group of people. They can choose to not do that, the same as Facebook can choose to not publish something. The problem is that there are multiple, competing bookstores, so while it's unlikely that most of them are going to publish the racist screed, there certainly exist stores that will carry books with varying points of view. Facebook, on the other hand, benefits from positive network externalities to the point where for some people it becomes 'the internet'.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/dec/06/rohingya-... - this stuff has real world consequences. What's the best way to deal with that? I think we all agree that "quash all debate and dissent" is not good. But "just let people post whatever, wherever with no consequences" is not great either. I don't have all the answers.
> Growing and consuming your own mushrooms might be a very counterproductive or even dangerous advise for an inexperienced person with severe anxiety.

This is terrible advice that needs to stop being perpetuated.
That's why pseudo-science exist. Many people like it and think it is personally useful. If you feel comfort in this, congratulations.
You can build any prototype you can think of quickly, but when taking the game across the finish line I’ve found myself many times pining for some of the mature tooling Unreal offers in the art, character, and netcode areas.

The asset store can be great in general, but it’s rare I’ve used an asset that I didn’t have to modify heavily. I don’t mind that, but code quality varies greatly and sometimes you end up in a spot where you have to go write your own solution anyways for a production project. Art resources are also great for a prototype, but if you want a unique look and feel you’ll still end up needing significant art investment. There’s no free lunch.

All that said, I’d quit gamedev before working in Unreal. It’s great for an artist or a designer, but it’s hell on earth for an engineer. C++ and blueprint spaghetti, no thanks. I can’t tell you how many Unreal devs I’ve interviewed who have expressed this exact sentiment.
The AVR codegen bug is discussed here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/82242#issuecomment-... Seems to be due to the LLVM-AVR patchset somehow expecting gcc-compatible compiler intrinsics (for division), whereas Rust provides intrinsics derived from LLVM's compiler-rt, with different calling conventions.
As an epistemologist I can only say I never imagined things will get this retarded in my lifetime.
There are plenty of government regulations that work. Regulation doesn't preclude breaking them up, which I'm also in favour of.

the html title is "GitHub - widevinedump/Message: Our Official statement"

that is the title, the problem is the blog-like structure of github regarding title of a readme comment nested in a GH repo, such things are not titled in the literary sense
"admit, intransitive verb: To grant to be real, valid, or true; acknowledge or concede. To disclose or confess (guilt or an error, for example). synonym: acknowledge."

It can't be both an admission of something real, and a gaffe.

If he said "I am a dog" it would be a lie, not an admission that he's a dog (because he simply isn't). Describing an anti-fraud organisation as a fraud organisation is either correct and an admission of a coverup, or false and a mistake and not an admission of anything.
It is in fact a misdemeanour, within the US at least, outside of the most benighted states.

Interdimensional Tik-Tok sounds interesting. I wonder how many alien civilisations are receiving our broadcasts millions of years in the future, and trying to reproduce them.

I have not been able to get ketamine, however I did find my cure for anxiety and depression (mostly).

No SSRIs worked, I'm simply immune to that shit. It makes me feel worse, even more suicidal than usual, even if taken long term. And withdrawals ain't pretty.

So, enter gabapentin and pregabalin. Which no doctors would prescribe as they're for those with epilepsy or something and I'm just a fucking idiot in their eyes.

No matter, I can buy it freely right now.

Both of them work on voltage gated calcium channels, something I do not fully understand.

But I do understand they work, and they work well. As long as I take either, I'm chill, content and even creative.

Doesn't help with attention/focus, but at least it works for the anxiety and depression.

Apparently they're prescription only because a small percentage of people reported euphoric feelings. Damn narcs lol.

Yes, when initially taken in high enough dosages, both gabapentin and pregabalin gave me very euphoric feelings, insane waves of energy, somewhat between alcohol and cannabis, really nice.

However that subsided after several months and now it's only the quiet chill feeling.

Withdrawal is fast, if you taper down over a week there are no effects. If you quit cold turkey, it's a few nights of nightmares or insomnia. Overall, really not bad compared to anything else.

So yeah, they work, they work well and I wish doctors actually put their brains to use and made them more readily available.

Just make them OTC because few people can put up with the regular begging they have to do for life changing medication.

>>The idea that every gadget, or even most should be child-safe is silly.

NONSENSE

If any consumer product is sold into the home, there should, at least in any modern society, be a presumption that it is safe.

>>On a personal note I honestly hate how often health and safety regulation gets in the way of what would be cool products and experiences these days

So effing work harder to make it safe before you make the product, or sell it only into professional/industrial settings; in those settings, you can require specific training/certification/etc. And even in those settings they require reasonable safety devices.

The short answer is that in a modern society, you do not have a right to MAKE YOUR PROFITS by selling inherently dangerous objects to consumers.

Ordinary consumers should be able to expect that they do not need special expertise to keep from losing a limb or life.
going off and doing mushrooms on your own is nowhere equivalent to psychedelic-assisted therapy.

Buy all your engineers an arduino kit with sensors and blinkylights and motors.

Heard of a large law firm, iirc, whose IT dept did that one year. they didn't require anybody do anything with them, just "here's the fancy $300 kit with all the parts ready". and they got very positive reactions and the people who din't want to play with the kits themselves had people they could pass their kits on to who appreciated them.
> Almost every high level executive I met that's actually genuinely good with people, subscribes strongly and uses a personality model - whether it's the Disc model or four quadrants or whatever.

I would say my anectdata is completely opposite after working in an organization that based its management almost exclusively on disc. The model allowed managers to completely ignore the vast majority of people issues ("ah, those two have a D in their profile, of course they're gonna butt heads"). The managers who were actually good with people never relied on any pseudoscientific crutch to analyse, communicate or mediate conflict, and imo that's what made them _good with people_.

This part of the article resonated strongly with the issues I saw and how over reliance on personality models sabotaged the organization:

> A common mistake when problems occur within an organisation is to focus on the individuals that are involved in conflicts. In fact, since it is the context of a situation which decides how people act, the primary concern in addressing any conflict should lie in how the organisation works. Before an organisation consultant, brought in to resolve conflicts, looks at individuals she should look at the structure (Olofsson & Nilsson, 2015).

Maybe not 180 degrees, but the major court cases lately:

The media largely only showed the video of George Floyd being knelt on, not him freaking out about not being able to breathe before that happened.

The Kenosha stuff was quite obviously at least possibly self defense when the whole incident was shown.

Both of those may or may not have affected the court cases, but the riots that happened? People’s opinion on them?

Oh, just thought of a better one - Nicholas Sandmann. There’s a full 180.
