But the second bullet point is:

> However, if you have added to or enhanced our data in order to make the map, you must make those additions publicly available without charge

So the produced work seems to be only a map, derived entirely from OSM data with no combination of data from other sources, except as a wholly separate layer. And any processing you do on the map has to be made available freely.

It's totally unclear to me how you can make a technology business based on the geographical database. For instance, I can't see how you'd read that section and conclude that the bike routing engine mentioned before would be a produced work (the section starts with "If you make a map from OpenStreetMap geodata..."). And if it did the algorithms you used to produce it would have to be openly published and made available to competitors.
> Not all fields of science are created equal.

But FB, and other platforms, treat them as if they are when making their decisions on what to censor. FB even trusts so called "independent fact checkers," who don't even claim to be scientists and write mostly on political topics, to act as arbiters of truth.

> A bigger problem is that scientific journalism treats every study as being equal.

And it's these journalists that FB is relying on for its determination of fact, not the actual scientists.
But the problem is that expertise is used to shut down debate...that is the reason why it is controversial.

People do not disbelieve experts because they think they are experts themselves. They disbelieve experts because the argument today is: I am an expert, I am right, if you disagree with me you are likely a danger to other people.

What has changed is the attitude of "experts" to other people. And I say "experts" because it is also increasingly common for people who have expertise in one subject to claim that they have expertise in another subject, and use that authority to elevate their claims beyond contention.

It isn't about scepticism or some kind of re-interpretation of scientific truth...it is one group of people attempting to use their authority to force through their view of what society should be like. If you want to see what the looks like, China is led by "experts"...it isn't pretty. I think Covid has brought this to the fore because you have scientific "experts" ruling on societal and political issues, not because people necessarily disbelieve those claims (ofc, experts and politicians are very clear to make this unclear...they want you to believe that the people who oppose them are lunatics, they aren't, they are rarely people who deny Covid is occurring or deny vaccines work...they just have different political views which suggest different solutions to those problems...there are no experts in politics, that is why we have voting, "experts" today are attempting to shut down debate, shut down politics, and would shut down voting if given the chance).

Also, another big issue is that experts undermine themselves. I can only speak to what is happening in the UK but experts here have made predictions that were fairly consistently untrue - https://data.spectator.co.uk/category/sage-scenarios - people did not disbelieve these predictions at the start, they disbelieve them now because the evidence is clear: the predictions are consistently wrong, and consistently used to justify a political decision that the "experts" want (one that has massive externalities in areas that the "experts" don't know about...paragraph 3 again). This happens, no-one can predict the future, no-one can predict the course of a pandemic 100%...but the problem is that the "experts" are saying: we can predict this, we are correct all the time...again, this is something totally different. Again, what has changed is the experts, not the people.
I worked first hand in a research group. the 'experts' are extremely political, and anything that doesn't fit their political agenda is ignored, and if the study/experiment doesn't fit their political agenda they keep trying or fudging the data until it does. I'll give you an example,

I noticed a map of obesity overlaps very well with a map of diabetes. high alcohol consumption mapped very well with the areas the prior map didnt correlate. in other words, in areas where obesity was not correlated with diabetes, there was high alcohol consumption. paper worthy or worth looking into? no. I lied to a different section of the group and said these were areas of increased correlation, and it wasn't alcohol but soda consumption. They immediately wanted to seek grants to write papers.

You can see how this leads to junk science. if you ignore things that dont fit your political agenda and only research things that fit your agenda, that's junk science. it gets worse because when the data doesnt suggest the political agenda pushed, they try to 'account' for other factors or re-run the study in a different way until it says what they wanted it to say. worse case, it doesnt get published.

The experts are not to be trusted.
I heard many times that IRS is the toughest of all law enforcement agencies. This is some assertion of dominance if I've ever seen one.
This. Many other organizations are similar degrees of separation from individuals who could plausibly be labelled as terrorists or similar, but I doubt many of the people furious at labelling this claim as "mixed" would demand fact checkers also rate such articles as wholly true if the subject of the headline was an individual closely linked to, say, the Republican party, Fox News or the NRA. And yes, if you want to believe that BLM is a terrorist organisation then the Snopes article provides enough accurate detail about the bad stuff Rosenberg did for you not to change your mind, just as any self respecting fact checker has to acknowledge that however dubious certain insinuations might be, Oliver North et al exist.
It might do you good to research why in fact most economists believe that, and why most countries’ tax systems reflect that opinion. You will learn a lot about role of incentives, value of investment for general welfare, elasticity of labor supply vs investment, substitution effects for investment vs consumption, and all kinds of interesting topics.

Of course, if you’re motivated by punitive instinct, instead of goal of taxing optimally to achieve maximum general welfare (including among low wage earners), you likely won’t find it appealing.

It used to be listed, I mean there have been hundreds of sites about MBTI so who knows where but the last time I saw the romantic matching of types was just 2 years ago on a relatively recent Swedish testing website.

But yeah I mean I'm not a scholar, I was just able to identify with what I read about INTP and it was eerily accurate when I first read it.

But people change. I have a friend who tested as INTP back in the 90s, their first test, then took another test in the 2000s and was a different type.

So you grow and you try to improve yourself. Being heavily introverted is a curse and a blessing sometimes.
Using "nohup" was my first choice too. Unfortunately, it does not prevent the Emacs process from dying when we kill the shell from which we launched Emacs. If the shell is killed, Emacs dies too. I have confirmed this behaviour on macOS 10.15.7 + Zsh 5.7.1 as well as Debian 10.0 + Xfce 4.12 + Bash 5.0.3. As a result, I was forced to use "disown" to ensure that the Emacs process continues to run even when the shell dies.

By the way, fido-mode is something I am going to add to this configuration in future, so thank you for the suggestion. I do use fido-mode myself in my personal Emacs configuration. However while publishing this project today, I could not make up my mind today whether I should still keep ido-mode around while suggesting fido-mode to beginners.

In my personal config, I have both ido-mode and fido-mode enabled in my configuration. For file searches, ido-mode seems to be superior. For example, ido-mode can search deeply nested subdirectories recursively for a match, something I have not been able to do with fido-mode yet.

It strictly does not do that and neither does the article beyond the headline. We'll agree to disagree.
I recently went back to emacs to try working out some problems in SICP. And the first goal I set for myself is not to go down into emacs config hell.

I went for the simplest thing I could set up: paredit, aggressive-indent, parens-mode, chez(inferior lisp)

So far so good, but one thing I noticed, I had forgotten paredit commands, and emacs isn't very pleasant if you don't have things in your muscle memory.

By and large emacs is best system you can use if you are writing lisp.

Because of time and inevitable changes happening to everything over time.

Same thing can happen with Linux, or some other operating system. Sure, might take 10, 50, 100 years, but eventually, Windows and macOS (and probably Linux) will be relics of the past.

>"This is a tricky problem and simplistic solutions like "there should be no fact checking and no limits" can lead to grave real world consequences."

This exact statement has been uttered by every ruler in history since the invention of the printing press. (the most popular printed books of the day, other than the bible, were books on identifying witches) If you insist that there be a regulation on what information can be distributed, you have no choice but to put certain people in charge of making these decisions. Sure, you can make them into committees, and have them follow processes, but at the end of the day somebody is paying them, and therefore they are subject to corrupting forces.

The consequence of free dissemination of information isn't heaven, or perfect. It can lead to horrible things. But the consequences of controlling and limiting information by some central arbiter has always led to hell. When in history can you point to a censorship regime and say "yeah, those were the good guys."???

No matter how benevolent the intention, censorship infrastructure has always been hijacked by the powerful for their own interests.

the lower tax rate is an incentive to invest that money, which causes growth, which in turn causes more tax revenue from that growth. ya, there are people that game that system, but there are far more people who benefit from such a tax rate and arent gaming anyone, just trying to live the dream and move up (to a deluxe apartment, in the skyyy). if anything, the tax on labor should be brought down, not the other way around. we are already taxed enough (atleast in the states we are!)
The earliest concrete evidence for pre-scheme I can find is that version 0.52 of Scheme 48 (1998) has a prescheme directory [1]. It lists a handful of releases going back as far as 1986, though who knows at what point pre scheme was introduced.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find an actual expert who would make the general claim that salt consumption will cause high blood pressure, as opposed to a claim that some people are salt-sensitive, or that high salt diets are positively correlated with high blood pressure, or something else.

Part of the problem is that non-experts tend to summarize expert information in ways that alter or omit crucial points, and then people are disappointed when the crib notes version tends to be inaccurate.

Ketamine is used to induct children into surgery it’s so safe.

Depressed people cannot maintain the discipline required to undo their learned helplessness - which is burned into their neurons as structured physical loops.

There are neuronal changes that cannot be rapidly modified without drugs that release BDNF, like infusion-levels of ketamine.

In the time you aren’t treating your patient with the most effective systems, of which ketamine is one of them, they may do irreversible damage to themselves or others. All depression treatments should short-circuit to ketamine as a first line - the efficacy is incredible.

The greatest issue with ketamine infusions is that they cost $800 per session.

Obviously doesn't apply to infinite or "practically" infinite scenarios (like ED) I was under the impression that landscapes are generally not that costly in terms of storage.

AFAIK with systems like Unreal's landscape feature, the landscape is not stored to disk as meshes, instead the heightmap and layer masks (for terrain coloration) are stored as textures which are looked up at runtime in order to render the landscape.

Would assume this means its relatively lightweight to store large amounts of terrain to disk compared to storing it as textured meshes.

The only scenarios where this wouldn't be true is if your landscape texture is for example satellite imagery instead of a combination of texture samples blended together at runtime with masks. With Unreal Engine 5's Nanite there is also the the baked Hierarchical Level of Detail meshes which would add to the storage cost.

Notably landscape is excluded from Nanite since the path Epic wants to go down is to continue generating landscape mesh at runtime.

Would love to get some more insight into landscapes in general in game engines :)
When I ask for something really general, I assume that Alexa is just a voice controlled web browser. Since Alexa is really about advertising and selling you things, I would assume that any curation is just to drive you to Amazon products. Once you get outside of products that Amazon can sell you then Alexa breaks down to a basic web search - as evidenced here.

We are calling out Alexa here but I think the same is true for other voice assistants too. Calling these products 'smart' is so wrong - there is nothing 'smart' about them. That 'smart' marketing has you and nearly everyone else assuming that they are a lot more capable and functional than they really are. Its just voice commands to drive things you would otherwise touch in some way - it has no where near human abilities.

For the (ultra-)rich and well-connected, the wheels of justice tend to turn slower than for ordinary people, mostly because rich people have the resources to hire enough lawyers to swamp courts with all kinds of bullshit petitions and impediments, to submit expert "interpretations" or to argue about formalities.

I had a discussion about this with a doctor. I asked them for their opinions on sodium to potassium ratios by age group and sodium loss through sweat. I got blank stares and the subject changed. I've had far more fascinating and informative discussions with nutritionists and fitness coaches, not to suggest they are a definitive source of knowledge. I find it ultimately best to research things on my own and take all scientific papers with a skeptical grain of salt.

> I've never wrote any documentation before, and always struggled with writing descriptive content.

Respectfully, I don't believe you think it's boring, but that you don't know what makes the task successful. To compensate for this you've used the very common strategy of mentally categorizing the task as "beneath you" ergo "boring".

In this case, there's plenty of great suggestions already here, but the most important one is to become aware of this mindset and work to overcome it. Writing, of any kind, requires some measure of creativity. Documentation can be tedious. But is this any different from writing software! You need a strategy that taps into what you enjoy and already have, that makes the tedious bits effortlessly fall into the background.

In my case I ask myself this question "how can I make this task interesting? (but also accomplish it on time)" and then simply make a game of it. But that might not work for you.

I know one person who looks at documentation as "programming other people to be able to work with the tool he developed". If people read the documentation and can't use the tool, then it's a bug to be squashed and the programming language to use is "English".

I use straight combined with use-package and it's great. I don't really need to since I rarely hack on packages in the way that straight imagines you would, but I like the middle ground it introduces.

(defalias 'sup 'straight-use-package)

(sup 'somepackage)
(require 'somepackage) ;; sometimes
(setq somepackage-config-thing)
(add-hook 'some-mode-hook #'some-package-hook)

I know with use-package you'd do all this in the macro with config and init, but especially when it comes to dependent packages I prefer having things flat as opposed to nesting them.

My config is apparently 333 lines but a lot of that is whitespace and comments for grouping, plus the bootstrap code which I incidentally use for publishing my blog.
Check out evil mode [0] which brings vim keybindings/modes into Emacs, so you will have easier time checking out emacs and making your own opinion. I still use both, vim for quick edits/on the systems where I don't have an emacs config.

For me the reason to prefer Emacs would be its extensibility and ability to modify pretty much any behaviour. I'm no fan of elisp, but it's much more reasonable than vimscript.
