There’s a biochemist here giving advice about being cautious. That goes without saying, but it always strikes me as disingenuous careerism to recommend people with terrible illnesses to not experiment. That’s the bedrock of scientific inquiry.

It isn't a bedrock of scientific inquiry if you aren't actually studying things. In fact, with MS it can make you so much worse off than you would be. People start the diets as a substitute for proven medicine. No diet has been proven to prevent a relapse, lessen their impact, nor cause you to have fewer relapse. With MS, every relapse you have increases your chances of disability and most relapses leaves effects. I lost hand strength and my fingertips have different feeling, for example, even though most of the numbness went away. Proven medicine has lessened the number of relapses folks have and often makes them milder: With the best medicine, we haven't prevented relapses entirely - though a lot of neurologists treat a single relapse as a sign to switch medications to something that'll work better for you.

I'll add that it isn't always worth trying. You aren't doing science unless you are part of a trial. Eating a strict diet isn't generally cheaper and takes time that you might not even have the energy for - all for something science hasn't been able to prove works. Just ancedotal stuff from random people without anything to back it up. I suspect the diet might just have a similar effect that weed does with spasticity: It doesn't medically cure some it, but people report being less bothered by them. And if that's the case, any dietary change would work and you probably shouldn't give money to the ones claiming miracles.

What would make you confident about that? Buying an NFT requires trusting the chain (typically ethereum) and the marketplace.

Now you have two problems.
Happy to see Gopher listed! We even have a HN portal on Gopher which is pretty well suited for the folder listing format.

Well, at least sitting in the sun can definitely cause health issues :)

I think the article is precisely about studying more closely something that was thought to be safe (by the author at least), keeping an open mind never hurts :)

It's not like I would switch back to gas even if induction radiation was found to be causing some kind of health issue anyway, just like I'm still using my phone, because it's convenient (or going at the beach even if it's sunny because I like it ^^)
That was reported for the hospitals in Munich, too (where I live). All patients are tested on admission to hospital, and any patients who are covid positive are kept isolated to prevent infecting others. There are enough unsymptomatic vaccinated cases to skew the statistics. Sigh.
Title Insurance is indeed a racket at this point. Their payouts are a tiny percentage of their overall premiums. As you mention, this seems like a good option but in fact isn't a good one.

In order to replace title insurance and make it so anybody can verify the state of a property you need to first make all liens ever live on the blockchain. That's the hard part here. If it is possible to have a lien on a home without that appearing on a blockchain then there is still a need for somebody to review the title.

Further, there is no need for decentralization! The state can simply operate a centralized append-only database where transactions are recorded and liens are created and publish that to everybody.
Magenta is a nonspectral color, meaning it doesn't appear in rainbows or prisms refracting white light (all wavelengths). All pinks and purples are also nonspectral.

Only the fully saturated rainbow colors ROYGBIV are spectral colors. Indigo is deep blue. Violet, borderline between visible and UV light, is a single wavelength, but it excites the tail of our eye's Red cones, so appears bluish-purple.

The CIE Chromaticity Diagram
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromaticity
shows it best, where the spectral colors form the curved outside, and the nonspectral colors are the straight 'line of purple' and all interior colors.

It is surprising that green's (~495-565 nm) complementary colors are all on the nonspectral line of purples (draw line from purple's corner endpoint, through the white point, to corresponding green).
You don't have to use old clunky protocols to escape the commercial web. Just don't visit commercial websites designed by collectives using JS libraries. Disable JS by default and leave a site when nothing displays. There is plenty of good web buried under all the commercial crap. We don't have to abandon HTTP.

That said, eternal-september.org is a great way to get back into usenet.
Talk to us when there are no major blockchains on a massively-energy-hungry technology, and then maybe we'll believe that your complaint is relevant.

As it stands, the only blockchains that are relevant are just colossal energy sinks, and it's devastating.
Interestingly, this is more or less the opposite to Europe these days. While integrated stove/ovens are somewhat rare now, they tend to exist almost exclusively on the high end; a bog-standard cheapest-possible installation will be a separate halogen or induction (or gas) stovetop and a single oven.
Typewriters had immediate value: buy one and you can produce easier to read documents faster — a very fast writer might do as much as 30 words per minute, which is like a third of a proficient typist’s throughput. Businesses bought them rapidly because it meant the same number of clerks could do more work and you reduced errors due to bad handwriting.

Put another way, the first commercial typewriter was sold in 1874 and was an immediate success. By the 1880s, typist was a booming field — especially for women seeking employment outside of the home.

Blockchains have been commercially active for 13 years at this point. If Bitcoin shut off tomorrow, the only reason anyone who isn’t involved in shilling it would know is that all of the speculators would be screaming for government bailouts.
> “Though Spotify has a responsibility to mitigate the spread of misinformation on its platform, the company presently has no misinformation policy,” the group wrote in the letter

What would a Spotify misinformation policy look like? Who decides what misinformation is?

In March 2020 telling people to wear masks was misinformation. A month later telling people not to wear masks was misinformation. I always prefer receiving my misinformation earlier rather than later.
I really really cannot see how a device that burns wood can ever be "perfection in safety and efficiency" wrt. induction cookers.
The outrage economy, as they call it, is the new cash pump of the post-factual society media. It exercises a remote code execution flaw in human physiology that gets us a little involuntary shot of adrenaline.

Subliminal advertising doesn't work, but this truly does. I wonder if we'll treat it the same way. The FCC issued a warning to broadcasters in 1971:

> We believe that the use of subliminal perception is inconsistent with the obligations of a licensee, and therefore we take this occasion to make clear that broadcasts employing such techniques are contrary to the public interest. Whether effective or not, such broadcasts clearly are intended to be deceptive.

Realizing I'd sat there doing essentially nothing for years out of fear of making the wrong choices was a huge wakeup call. It turns out most choices don't generate much inertia: you can always change course.

You only get so much time. Inertia from decision paralysis grows exponentially the longer it goes on. But you get a lot of time. The brain struggles to grasp it. If you're 55, you could have as many years left as I've had in total, and I figured out in my 30s what most people only figure out on their deathbed.

The best time to make a call is now. My call was to focus on music around 2017, and the last 5 years have seen more progress than the 15 before it. I was doing CI/CD on my life without even realizing it with similar results. As with software development, there are mistakes, but I'm practiced at and confident with fixing them and getting on with it.
The price of things like USDT are effectively set by Tether rather than the free market. If Tether have billions of US$ and offer in the market to buy back USDT at 1:1 then that's what they price will be near enough.
Exactly.

You might not be rich, or a senior manager.

But you probably won't really care.
Because the infection numbers rose, too.

Last year germany had half the infections but twice the deaths, so the vaccines are obviously working.
I've never been in a kitchen with induction that didn't have coil whine. Even really fancy high five-figure induction cooktops I can hear the whine.

I could never have that in my kitchen :(
Does anybody know good resources for learning z3. I find the docs hard and material is pretty scarce on the topic.
This is only true if people with guns will show up to kick somebody else out of the house that you own the token for or if we figure out a way to completely eliminate antisocial behavior voluntarily.

“Throughout the covid-19 pandemic, Joe Rogan has repeatedly spread misleading and false claims on his podcast, provoking distrust in science and medicine.”

I don't think they're properly evaluating the distrust created by banning such information. People have far less trust for the pro-vaccine data when they are aware that they do not have equal access to the alternative data. This is amplified when the "misinformation" label is routinely expanded to include not just the contested details, but whole conversations that include things like data directly from the CDC and FDA that other sources do not. Yet the bans are the opposite of surgical.

But I think that the worse thing is that people hear the horror stories by word of mouth, over and over again. I certain have. But in the current environment, where online discussion of those stories is suppressed, they do not hear the frequently convincing and valuable rebuttals, because those are often suppressed too for including the claims they are rebutting.

"Shut up" is not a persuasive rhetorical technique.
Without any context or analysis, this snippet could easily be applied to the surprising (if still 1% of the whole) of scientists who have thrown themselves into the work of pro-virus propaganda, or creating fake studies to boost ivermectin.

Simple common sense comparison of the % of vaccinated people ending up in the hospital with COVID vs unvaccinated ending up in the hospital with COVID is all you need to see the vaccine works.

mAB do work too but only if you test for covid and use it within the first 5 days or at least 10 days of illness.
It's all about consensus and enforcement. The courts hold power because we all agree (actively or passively) that the decisions made by the courts are legitimate. We choose to keep our citizenships and pay taxes to enforce these decisions with coercive/violent means (police). If people lose faith in this arrangement and start disregarding the legal systems - e.g. if the police refuse to do their job - you could very well end up with blockchain officers taking their place and kicking down doors with the approval of the masses. For now, though, it doesn't really matter what you own on the blockchain because you have no shotgun to back it up (no legitimacy nor means of enforcement).
I just wish GNU Radio did not brake compability between versions.

3.6 --> 3.7 --> 3.8 all ware breaking.

So no older example or block you find will work in the current version.
This is infuriating when trying to learn and following tutorials.
All my friends seem to have migrated to building their prototypes in C using something like liquid-dsp instead of gnuradio.
As that will compile and work next year.
I agree. I think perhaps the one thing that does more uniquely affect C++ is the compatibility with C (at least not newer versions of C) and the strict backwards compatibility with C++ before it. Which is a little strange to say because compilers _do_ deprecate features, so it's not strict-strict, just strict enough for the standards committee to use it as an excuse.
Haha, I don't think I'm popular enough here to pull it off.

Yes, they were known as the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varangian_Guard

No, that used to be a real-world problem for banks until laws were passed that more tightly regulated financial institutions...

Agreed, Joe definitely had a golden age where he interviewed quite well.

The Spotify move and perhaps the 100m that came with it have seen him interject a lot more of his own opinions though.

I’ll still tune in if the guest is great. But I find myself wishing joe would bite his lip far more often than before.

"an Israeli medical researcher"

Does he have a name? What has he published before? Is he even an expert in the field?
Tweetbot is free, hides ads, can sort chronologically, and you can filter out other people's likes, retweets, and replies.
This has been my experience. There's still some reputable journals out there, but you have to be really careful. It's amazing though how much absolute BS there is out there in academic papers. I've read so many that started interesting and then as soon as you get into the methods you realize it's all just air. The worst part is, if you don't have a handle on statistics and a fairly high degree of scientific literacy, they really DO look ok (polished even!) at first glance.
Death numbers in the vaccinated are quite low.

How can you blame “vaccine passports, triple jabs” for rising deaths among the unvaccinated?
Verily the manifesto states: "The communist revolution does not prevent future classes to be equal to all others. Classes declared after the communism.revolution() will not follow the communism rule."

There are not always losers, though, in a very real sense. If I have nothing but 100 gallons of water and you have nothing but 100 pounds of meat, then an exchange of some amount at the margins benefits both of us in every way. If we set the amounts that we trade carefully enough, then we'll both win by the exact same amount (however we measure that in our own heads), and it's really hard to call anyone in that situation a "loser".

Presumably what you're referring to is that in a realistic market, there are also tons of other people who are willing to swap their wares, and maybe they'll offer me something better for a gallon of water than a pound of meat. So sure, I could be taking a sub-optimal deal by trading with you at the rate you want. But the trade is still positive-sum, no loser in sight. In an efficient market most trade is net beneficial to everyone and doesn't necessarily have losers, including when you start layering in credit and derivatives and inflation and velocity of money and whatnot, even if it gets really complicated. That is possible because we all have slightly different self-valuations of money, goods, and risk at different scales, and the markets let you trade each for the other until you've self-optimized your portfolio blend.

That's not to say you can't come up with scenarios where there are unambiguous losers, but it's definitely not some law of economics or anything like that.
The article isn't about warming-forcing emissions; it's about indoor pollution. A gas burner isn't a major problem for greenhouse gases, in the scheme of things, but the article is alleging serious health effects (I'm kind of dubious; I would wonder did they have a proper extractor fan venting to the outside...)
I could see what they are trying to say because I hear the same thing all around me.

I'm in Ontario, Canada. There are regions with 90% vaccinations rate (Toronto) and still the hospitals are full and we are in lockdown. As laymen, people do question whether anyone knows what they're doing.

Toronto has been one of the most compliant cities for masking, social distancing, and vaccines. Even then we are not spared.
"The described behavior is a functionality limitation that does not affect the security and privacy of our product" they said.

What do you mean with the term “covidiots”?
And yet it still failed.
My wild guess is that it can divide his audience, and that it brings more ads, it increase his audience, and then he makes more money.

Bad publicity is publicity, and then it's money.

Facts and reality are not linked to money.

Hank Green tweeted about this.

That's the reality of the internet now: lies are more profitable. Everyone wants an underground, alternative source of information.
I also immediately thought "why is this not jinja?", but then I realized that jinja cannot do what cog can: run arbitrary Python code. Yes, jinja includes a small subset of python things as filters, but jinja on purpose does not include arbitrary code.

Typical jinja use is you have a controller or some outside code like Ansible that creates objects for jinja to operate on.

Cog is less like PHP templating, or jinja, and more like a standalone jupyter static text generator.
Because in the wake of story driven games taking up almost the entire single-player market, "try this part again" has become so much of a default assumption that its exclusion would inevitably become a focus point. And the other big element, a strong element of randomness, that's really just secondary to permadeath, because permadeath without random would be a tragically repetitive slog (unless you make memorization the entire point) and random without save/retry would be kind of wasteful, as players would rather proceed even further than restart. When you don't aim for replayability, the xkcd random number implementation ("4") would be as good as any.
I agree with you on hybrids, I think hybrids are a better fit for most people right now. Especially for renters and households with one car. I also think people need to come to terms with the reality of the world we live in right now and take responsibility for their own resiliency. We cannot externalize complete resiliency to government. We are in a bit of a chaotic transition right now. In the last two years we've seen electricity failures, public safety failures and basic government services failing. I think people need to make sure their lives are resilient through decisions like should I buy an EV or hybrid.

Overall I'm not against green subsidies. I'm against subsidies going to higher income households, it's government transfers to the rich! Especially in California, their green subsidies benefit the rich and hurt the poor.
Is that true though?

The Jacobins got executed and replaced by the Thermidorian Reaction, which was a shift "rightward" and may have paved the way for Napoleon. And France generally also had to fight wars against the combined monarchies of Europe (which they generally did and won) which again, paved the way for Napoleon to become emperor.

I'm still at the early stages of reading up on Russia, but the Bolsheviks at the time are "radical" but aren't really calling for more than what we'd view as actual democracy. By "sensible reforms" I assume you mean people who advocate mostly just leaving concentrated wealth concentrated, and then obviously you've got wars and outside empires there too as well as the remains of the concentrated wealth.

I dunno, it feels like there's centuries of cultural and political propaganda that gets in the way of objective views on this.
Good luck. I dont really understand it how there is this huge shortage but employers still are so picky.
No. The author didn’t do this.
What worked for me was to stop comparing myself to others.

Yes someone else makes more, has a bigger house, etc.

But someone else has less.

As long as I have a safe place to live, I can't ask for more.
For me, covidiots are the people who keep taking booster shot 5, 7, 15, 25 and so on, and then go "yeah I got very sick but if I didn't take the vaccine, I would have been much sicker" :)
It’s baffling that anyone thinks a quote from an unnamed “medical researcher” is a logical debunking of all of modern COVID science.

The vaccine unquestionably reduces severe infection, hospitalization, and death. It’s not even a question at this point.

I suppose this is why Rogan’s anti-vaccine conspiracy drivel thrives despite not even being logically self-consistent: There’s an appetite for contrarian information, and those who enjoy this contrarianism will unquestionably absorb anything, no matter how illogical, as long as it’s contrarian.
You'll recall that Feynman whinged about the lack of potentials when he was trained (there bring too much emphasis on fields and almost nothing on potentials). And I reckon he was right to do so for the same reasons, as it took me a considerable amount of time to shift my thinking around to thinking potentials and not fields.

Re SQUIDs, likewise, I could amuse myself for ages if I had several to play with.
I thought that was the point of cast iron though? Heat batteries basically: long time to heat up, but then you have a lot of constant heat energy.

Cast iron has never been quick on any type of stovetop.

I agree about carbon steel though. Underappreciated although gaining more attention.
Oh, I see what you mean. Yes, the flow is probably going to require user consent via a browser. But that doesn’t mean the whole app has to be JavaScript, and I believe there are flows that are more suitable for clients that aren’t. And I’m not sure I see this as a downside, the whole point is that the frame of the site you’re authorizing through is trusted. There’s no easy way to replicate the security implications of what it’s doing without a browser.
He's a garbage-quality thinker himself, but he's always been great at getting people to let their guard down and start talking and he has pretty good selection of people on his show.
Your citation doesn't backup your name calling: there is no information about failed attempts at replicating her results. There is an on-going study with 100 participants on the Wahls protocol. [1]

If I had taken your point of view, I wouldn't have cured my psoriasis. I wouldn't have witnessed someone curing their irritable bowel syndrome. I would have kept taking antibiotics instead of addressing acne with other techniques. In all cases, these were "sham" cures not proven by science according to your POV. In all cases these are now slowly being recognized as valid approaches for treating the disease.

By your reasoning every medical treatment that is accepted today would have to have previously been a "sham" before it was accepted.

What worked for Dr. Wahls might not work for others as well as it did for herself, but it did work for her. Name calling doesn't un-publish her case report [2] or halt the ongoing study of her protocol [1].
