A very long "get off my lawn" rant about a non problem. I have plenty of customers who have been crippled by hard to use software and confusing operating systems. It wasn't until android and iphones came along that any of them really got comfortable with computing (farmers skew older).

Just because it doesn't look like whatever nostalgia has done to your memories doesn't mean it's bad.

Nobody uses an apple ii for anything serious any more and for good reason. The blinking cursor on a green screen is a wonderful challenge for a small number of people. For ordinary, non technical folk it was an inscrutable warning light that only lead to more puzzles the further you got in.
Aranese is fairly normal Gascon speech, I don't think it qualifies as its own subdialect [1]. This being said, there's something to be said about Gascon as a whole potentially being its own language, as is considered Catalan. Among Occitan dialects, it's highly eccentric.

As for Aranese speakers, to me (I have some amount of Limousin and Provençal) native ones [2] are understandable to the same extent as other Gascon speakers, but new speakers who bring Castellan phonological features are incomprehensible. If it manages to survives in this environment, it could truly be a new language in the making.

Plenty of current physics allows for the possibility - even special relativity allows for it.

Personally, I think that the “speed of light” is a misleading misnomer. It’s the speed of information propagation in flat space - and even that’s a misnomer, as speed is a very human concept, as is time, as is space.

For all we know we’re waddling around in flatland, thinking that what we perceive is what is. More likely than not, most everything we know isn’t even wrong.

I found it shallow because it didn't meaningfully add or respond to the article's topic. Saying "humans also do similar things implies the animals do it for the same reason" would not make a reliable way of evaluating the motivations behind the actions.

I don't believe humans are nearly as "special" as historically seen in comparison to animals, but the rephrasing as performed in the comment here doesn't add anything to support that case.

What does this mean? That article is very specific, and is not sensational. He's been complaining about the BMJ for some time, and not just about these vaccines.

> More dystopian stories to distract us from the real dystopia swallowing us

Distract from -- or remind of / allude to?
I would suggest looking more into it, then, because what Bookchin actually proposed in the end - what he called "libertarian municipalism" - is not "completely impractical", and nowhere as radical as what most anarchists propose.

As far as practicality goes, well... the political system in AANES (Autonomous Administration of North-East Syria, aka Rojava) is organized largely along the same lines, except that they call it "democratic federalism" - and it seems to be working pretty well so far, 10+ years in.

For another, even longer-running example, look at the Zapatista autonomous regions in Mexico, and some municipalities that went down the same route afterwards (e.g. Cheran).

If you lived near a farm or spent time at one, many animals are curious, intelligent and eerily sentient. They have things they want to do, they devise and follow up on plans to get to their goals which are not necessarily only based on eating.
Can you elaborate on why you don't think it's a tailing tool? lnav monitors the files it was pointed at and will load new data as it is appended or reload the file if it has been overwritten.

Maybe they can even take it a step further and delay all comments by 3 hours. I think this could encourage people to be more thoughtful and accurate if they knew that the round trip for clarification or knee-jerk responses was not immediate.

Why specially Spain?
I’m definitely their target market. However if Plasma mobile is their advertised software of choice and is unsupported by them directly I’d rather buy a Linux phone like a Librem 5 before a drop more money on another Pine64 phone. The Librem is actually getting focus and software improvements. The Pinephone is at the whim of time and energy of some good citizens when it comes to software. One of these citizens is the Librem efforts.

They can tote all day long about how focused their hardware efforts are and how that improves their release process. Adding in a developer dedicated to the software side wouldn’t change that balance. They’re not even in the same ballpark anyways.

Spoiler: I own a Librem 5 and a Pinephone.

Everything you've said here is racist hate speech. I'm sure you wouldn't make statements like this about any other group.

It's a good thing that we as a society don't treat all Muslims or Arabs as being responsible for the actions of jihadist terrorists. It's good that we as a society don't treat all <insert any label> as responsible for <bad thing some members of that group did>.

In every single item you listed, there were white people both doing good and bad. Some white Southerners fought to support slavery and white Northerners fought to end it. Some white people in Alabama wanted segregation but they were stopped by a white president and white national guardsmen who represented the majority of white American opinion that wanted to outlaw and stop segregation.

Stop treating hundreds of millions of people as one monolith. Stop the "us vs them" mentality. Please, stop spreading hate.

That's not really a problem if the only thing they need is direct access to a read-only view of the buffer (i.e. const char*) - then it's no different than C++ and std::string.
First argument seems defeatist to me.

Second argument seems like the realistic outcome but I also think it underestimates the powers that be/will be. The conflicts of interest will be addressed too slowly and the powers that be will say too bad to their opponents.
> Another language that is kept in life support with the taxes of all the citizens of the country for no clear benefit to the country as a whole.

Just because you don't see the benefit of the language and culture of a distinct region being maintained by its own people, doesn't mean there isn't any.

The world would certainly be worse off if we lost all the diversity in it because people only see things in terms of investment/gain but are blind to the richness of allowing people to maintain their heritage.

Besides which the only part of the article that mentions taxes is when aomeone mentioned Andorra being an independent nation and paying less taxes to be autonomous than the people of Val d'Aran pay to Spain. Additionally Catalonia, where they speak Catalan, has been trying to separate from Spain. If anything, these languages are not in "life support" at the cost of all the citizens of the nation, they are actually paying more taxes due to being a part of said nation and have all the right to keep their language- especially so given the history of the region when it comes to their treatment by "the country as a whole".

So you think that all studies AND hospitalization data that show the benefit of the vaccines now that billions of people are vaccinated are... FALSE... across hundreds of countries... because the chairman of ONE news organization is on the board of Pfizer?

I appreciate how antivax people love to share this fact like this is the ULTIMATE argument as to why the vaccine is actually BAD.
Thanks for asking. I don’t personally care. Anything the billionaires deign to give away is a win. I hate people chastising McKenzie Scott for giving away billions of Amazon money but not giving it to workers rights orgs. Literally any giving should be encouraged, although more so giving with no strings attached. How it’s made is a separate issue for me.
I always wondered about that limit.
There were many stories going around about hardware, memory limits, but this sounds much more believable.

> a self-centered man

Self-centered? I'm assuming you're basing that off of an edited film designed to entertain people and not because you actually know the man.

> who projects his issues onto an unsuspecting wild animal

Humans tend to project their issues onto unsuspecting things all the time in my experience: partners, co-workers, strangers, pets, etc. And inanimate objects too, if you've ever seen someone slam a door, pound a table or seek guidance from nature. We seem to be driven to share our experience with others.

In the film the octopus has no trouble hiding, running away or disappearing when it wants. And likewise, no trouble approaching after it became comfortable with him. And he refuses to intervene when its life is in danger.

After these quips, I usually hear the criticism that he was a rich white guy of privilege telling a "woe is me" storyline. If you don't like what the guy represents, fine, but his actions are not that different from many other naturalists who loves to observe animals in the wild.
True, but as it turns out in 2022 we are in exactly the same problem, as our bitterly incompetent Prime Minister is trying to save his own job at the cost of thousands of lives (152k and rising)

Notice that this is a policy document outlining a process, and that one outcome of following that process can be not sharing the data! It's not as simple as "follow these rules and you can share the data". It can also be "follow these rules, which tell you not to share the data".

It's also possible to reach an outcome that the data can be shared but must be de-identified in a way that precludes important statistical tests. Any sparse feature is incredibly powerful for re-id, and combined with other features might be difficult to share without running afoul of de-id best practice. The problem: rare medical conditions that must be accounted for in a statistical study of vaccine side-effects are examples of sparse features. So you can share the dataset, but not in a way that's useful for a non-GIGO statistical study.
The problem is that people are starting from wildly variable positions. An old person on a fixed income can’t afford to replace their heating, add insulation, etc. quickly unless we have programs to help them; a rich guy who thinks gas is better for cooking or heating up his outdoor dining will blow off the minor increase; etc.

The problem is that we wasted 3+ decades on denialism and a lot of pollution comes from things with long service lives. A high-pollution SUV will be polluting in 2040, maybe 2050; a gas or oil heater might run into 2070. At this point we need more than gradual nudges — things like requiring special permits to buy new fossil fuel-burning equipment with heavy subsidies and 0% loans for installing electric alternatives.

I suspect you are using terms that to you are obvious, but to me are technical terms that don't mean what they seem to mean based on the words involved.

Based on what you've said here I don't know what you mean by "self-hosting". I have a package that I purchase from a company that provides me with my email and web hosting. I pay them, I configure my web client to connect using the details they provided, they deal with the configuration.

They are qualified in this field, they have certifications.

Everyone here seems to be using terms that obviously mean something to them than is different to what the terms imply to me. I have machines that connect to my email, hosted by the ISP with whom I have the contract. To me, that doesn't mean "self-hosted" ... I don't do any configuration of DKIM/SPF/DMARC/etc. That's all done by the people I pay.

So ... I really don't know what you're talking about. I suspect you know too much to be able to communicate effectively with me, who knows nothing. It's plausible that the field of discourse is simply too technical.
If I had to guess, T-Pain's #s are encapsulating more regions than the US - everything I calc'ed was US-only. It gets really bad when you look at rates in emerging countries so I find it helpful to be very specific about what data is encapsulated in these rates.

Most importantly, while his title is not wrong, remember that this is not what it takes for an artist to make $1, it's how much money is paid out in aggregate for each recorded music stream. Artists make a smaller percentage of that amount, the label typically takes the lion's share.
And wealth also possibly means access to better nutrition, better healthcare, and lower stress overall.
I'm guessing that it's because (at least at my university), the college class experience is pretty anonymous. No one is taking roll and won't notice if you don't show up. You sit in class as an observer, mostly quiet, almost like a disembodied ghost. The experience is already very dream like and easy to dissociate from. This in addition to the stress of the experience makes it prime dream material.
This is already a solved problem.

I have deposited datasets with full transcriptome data, which you can use to infer most of the genome in a straightforward manner, from clinical trials. In that case, you simply use off-the-shelf tools to anonymize datasets by flipping lots of SNPs. Additionally, raw data is made accessible only through an ethics committee. Summary counts from transcriptomes are publicly available, though. There are equivalent practices for other biomarkers.

I must say The British Biomedical Journal (BMJ) is really spearheading all transparency efforts. They have been publishing lots of inconvenient truths for many years. For example, they reported some fairly serious conflicts of interest where professors from Oxford are getting huge "consulting" fees from pharma. And they pretty much publish any reasonable letter to the editor. Nature, Science and Cell, on the other hand, are heavily biased.
I don’t think that anyone made the claim that FTL travel is possible; they merely said that there’s still so much we don’t know about the universe, so definitely ruling something out is a bit rash.

With our current understanding of the universe, yes, indeed, FTL travel is not possible. But it’s naïve to think that our understanding of universe won’t change.
We should be discouraging all air travel. All of it.

Not that audience. They already felt that depending only on police for protection was stupid. They buy guns so they can protect themselves and their families. They still depend on police though.

Conservatives are fearful by nature. They always suspect that some group of "others" is out there just waiting to take everything they love from them. Many of them live in rural/remote areas where "others" aren't as prevalent and police response times are poor. They still love police though, in part because they want to feel safe and protected, but also because they like to see "others" being punished. They really love punishment. They're convinced that fear of punishment is the only thing standing between order and chaos. The harsher the punishment, the more peaceful the world. Police represent order, safety, and help keep the "others" in control. Defunding them is not an option for these people.
One major benefit here is how approachable this is. One could even simply open Dev Tools on their browser and use the console as a REPL. As someone who installed Scheme/Dr Scheme/Dr Racket long ago, it's nice to say, "you can get started right now". I know there'll be a lot of complaint about JS as a language choice but, it's pretty ubiquitous. And, much like Scheme, no one's saying, "you should use this for your next app that you have planned"
Anonymizing datasets is time consuming and would take resources away from the FDA to implement, instead of doing it themselves. I have no doubt people want to help but the only way they really could would be to sign a contract with someone who is allowed to share that data internally, and operate in a embargoed situation (such as on-premise) under an NDA.

Otherwise it's sort of like my 10-year-old wanting to help me replace an engine in a car. It's important to let him do it so he can learn but it's likely going to take me much longer to on-board him and get him up to speed than if I did it myself.
