I'm late to this thread. I'm shocked that I had to scroll past an entire page of "music is dead" to find something about Bandcamp.

Producing music is easier than ever so there's more music out than ever.
Listening to music is easier than ever.

If you're relying on mass media (tv/radio) and big labels to find music you'll enjoy, you're doing it wrong.

The curators nowadays are Youtube channels and Spotify playlists and indie labels on Bandcamp, I'm following music subreddits, finding stuff on Soundcloud.

New music isn't dying, it's striving.
I don't think it was deliberately misleading. While it'll work for any site if you know what you're doing, the instructions are for making it work with Github specifically because of the paths involved. Without this, some people may have trouble getting it working on Github.

On your own site, you likely wouldn't use a subdirectory, making some parts of it simpler.

Nuclear security is a joke everywhere. This industry has one of the worst track records of reliability/security, not just in the US.

“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”

Well. The article author (and OP here) seems to work for SUSE: https://cz.linkedin.com/in/liamproven.

Yeah sure, there is too much momentum in current climate changes for Australian policy to turn it around. But the argument that Australian emissions are tiny in comparison to US, India or China so we don't need to be a part of the global solution falls flat for me. If we can punch above our weight in trade or diplomatic spheres, surely we can do the same in climate-mitigation areas.

Where do you see resistance to these mitigation attempts like cloud brightening?

Have you actually read that article? It's expecting a whole lot of detailed evidence from an article. And maybe they're right? Maybe the article should have provided more excruciating details. But the details it does provide - just from the bits quoted here - seem enough to justify a stance of "We need to do better than this", at least.

It smacks of "Yes, some sloppy science was done here, but you can't prove it changed the results? Can you? Can you prove it? Huh? No? Well then shut your dirty mouth!"

Yes, this was supposed to be a blind study but participants had pages detailing whether they had the placebo or not in their notes. Did anyone actually read those pages? Nobody knows. Did you read those pages? Did you? I bet they didn't! I bet NOBODY reads the participants notes! Nobody ready them, it's all fine, and they yanked those pages out within a few somethings (We'll gloss over how someone might have found this out, and whether they were likely to be privy to the information already)

Yes, there were a bunch of used needles discarded in normal binbags rather than in a sharps box, but that doesn't PROVE that they were poorly trained! Oh no. It was probably just a bad day. Did it change the outcome? You can't prove it did! Don't tell me about it unless you're sure!

No, there's no evidence that THESE issues were reported, but look! Other issues were reported! The management had previously discussed how bad they were at the science! If they knew they were bad, they wouldn't continue to be bad would they! And if things were reported, and other things weren't, that's not likely is it... that's just confusing... CONFUUUUUUSSIIIIINNNGG

Yes, they had to take corrective action, but at least they took corrective action! There couldn't have been THAT many people affected, could there? Do you know? I don't know. I bet there weren't many. A handful maybe. Probably just an old couple who were discarded early on for licking the other participants faces. It's inconsequential. Definitely not a problem. No problems here! Move on!

It's almost comical.

It also really bugs me that rather than saying "The article says", throughout they say "Thacker says". They've made it a personal vendetta against an evil person making things up, like they're not even trying to be balanced about it.

That said, I love the summary: "In the end, we’re left with a lot of smoke, but no clear fire." Hmm.. if only there was a well known saying about this. No ... something ... without ... oh, I don't know. Seems legit.
Brood Parasite
Before politicians get silly ideas like progressive taxation we must tell them about extremely ineffective tax systems that burden the poor even more and occupy politicians with bad ideas.

It sort of reminds me of what "Die Linke"("the left") party in Germany did in Berlin.

A long long time ago they sold publicly owned apartments for pennies.

A year ago they introduced rent control, which is primarily hurting small private landlords and makes the big landlords just wait it out instead of renting at an absurd price point.

So small landlords sell to big landlords because renting out apartments was banned, landlords sell their apartments because that is the only thing allowed by law.

Once enough small landlords exited the market, rent control was pulled out raising the value of properties back to its original level.

Finally, the government bought huge amounts of apartments from the big real estate companies. Effectively paying them to decimate the small landlords.

I don't know if this was planned but if I was an investor in those companies it would be awfully convenient. How can anyone call this chain of events successful? The fact that "Die Linke" party is against a land value tax which could have avoided all of these bad policy ideas does not inspire confidence. Either they are incompetent, were manipulated or they are hypocrites. I can imagine all three to be the case but I would personally bet on manipulation by special interests because applying reverse psychology to lobbyism does not sound very difficult.
> Google spent so many years blocking Domains accounts

This wasn't "blocking". IIUC the problem is that these accounts have tigher data use restrictions so a lot of Google services never bothered to support them.

For example I believe that one restriction is that data can't be used to train ML models for other users. So if a service created one big ML model it needed to exclude these accounts. Instead of doing that and an audit they often just blocked those users.
>> As it is, my child is coming to the conclusion that school is boring/easy

And she may feel that way even in gifted classes, I know I did. There's only so much that teachers can do. If it's so easy then she can spend her time doing/studying other things that she likes.

I read all the feynman lectures in middle school classes (ymmv with teachers). Later I got into quantem mechanics and advanced math, all on my own and because I had a bunch of free time..

Those were some of my favorite years and shaped who I am today. There's plenty to learn beyond the school curriculum and your child can self direct it

> They created their own messaging system and let SMSes enter it.

Apple supported SMS before iMessage/Messages existed. Their Messages app didn't even support MMS until iOS 3. It didn't gain the iMessage functionality until iOS 5.

Apple supports the global standards of SMS/MMS. Their own Messages service can be disabled entirely so a phone will only send SMS/MMS messages. Just about any phone able to connect to an extant cellular network can receive these messages and send messages to an iPhone.

SMS and MMS lack a lot of capability that people want in messaging systems. SMS was born out of unused space in control messages in the GSM spec. That's why fucking everyone from DoCoMo (i-mode e-mail) to RIM (Blackberry Messenger) to Apple have added some over the top messaging system to phones.

SMS is a fallback because it's supported by essentially every carrier. Carriers have tiptoed towards a better messaging standard with RCS but they are at cross purposes with OS vendors and end users. They want a messaging system that allows them to charge per use and the ability to snoop on user messages. So they turned RCS into a mess of a standard and have bungled or slow walked it's rollout.

But no, I'm sure it's Apple that caused all the evil in the world.
> The reason I believe this is a good approach for pretty much any problem is because each component is 100% swapable

In reality, how often will a client actually want to perform a straight swap like this, though? And that's assuming there is such a thing as a straight swap, which there almost never is.

It's a nice idea in theory but in practice it's worth very, very little.
Fascinating. Do you have a link so we can read more about the mercenary fiasco?
> If you want to build something new, start off with redesigning your assembly line. It's time well-invested that pays back in heaps later on.

We applied this ideology to our software project. Our build/deploy toolchain is 100% in-house code. Turns out, there's actually not a lot of it required because you can build a monster .net project into a single exe distribution with 1 simple command line operation. This applies to most other ecosystems as well. Everything else is basic file operations and moving shit between computers. No reason to vendor either of these problems out.

The benefits of having bespoke CI tooling are difficult to overstate. We've got automated processes where a project manager can multiselect 20 different customers, select a commit hash, and schedule an email containing a link to a zip of the resulting build that will be delivered to each customer's configured IT contact upon completion - all with a single button press. This process also entails injection of customer-specific configuration that is pulled at runtime from another system into each customer's distribution. The email templates are configured on a per customer basis and email delivery is delayed based upon project parameters.

I can't imagine wiring something like this up in Jenkins or GH Actions.

O'Sullivan v. Markie for the US, and Pelham, Haas v. Hütter, Schneider-Esleben in the EU.

Sampling requires copyright clearance. Flat.

The EU precedence is basically that if a sample can be recognised, then it is copyright infringing. That says exactly nothing about how long it is, and that is obviously an issue that scares the big records into legally checking everything, but just burns all the small ones into not sampling unless they're extremely certain.

The US precedence is that you require the original copyright holder to approve the sample and its size. Which is somewhat worse than the EU rulings.
I think that every 50 yo in at least the last 100 years thought that the music liked by the 20 yo is s..t and so will be for the now 20 yo 30 years from now.

There is no particular reason for that except that the 20 yo artists have to try something new and they are the models of the 10 / 15 yo.

What's interesting is that the new models don't seem so hugely more interesting than the best of the old ones. Maybe young people got wiser, maybe the music industry got enough material to play safe, minimize costs and keep advertising and selling the old tunes.
In any case, the point of the article to raise a concern, not prove something. FDA is responsible for overseeing this. So far, it appears that were some irregularities with Ventavia and now they might be resolved.

The article never said that this invalidated all Pfizer trial data or anything. But concern was justified and the article was needed to ensure better oversight.
I do this (mid-level when arguably capable of senior) but in the public sector. This enables me to deal with some challenging caring responsibilities and also have some time for hobbies and family in general. And get to do a 4-day week, which is maybe harder as a senior. Sure it means we have less £, but time is more important than £, and in tech we have the luxury of being able to do this and still get by (with frugal habits). IMHO people should ask themselves why they want to be a senior. Sure you get more money and status if that floats your boat, but you also get more responsibility which could mean stress. If being more senior grants you more autonomy, that could be worth it. Where I work its equal whether you're senior or not, in fact as a mid-level you get more time to code and less meetings. As a way to fight burnout, sounds potentially good, but depends on your employer. If they have a full-on performance mgt system, well, its easier to make the grade for a mid-level than a senior, so that's less stress immediately. BTW this is not a "vacation" to me. Maybe best to think of it as a "sensible life strategy defending against burnout". ;)
I'd read a whole blog post on this! I'd love to see how you've setup your linked-in and example spreadsheet.
You're going to need to spell your point out a little more than just a link. If I manage to get in a position where I'm the only person in Texas selling power in a snowstorm I'm going to die filthy rich.

That is the opposite of the collective action problem. There are enormous rewards for an actor the less other people act. Which is one of the reasons bigger corporations do disaster planning, it lets them scoop up profits when prices are higher.

Capitalists don't give up easily if there is a person willing to spend money on something. They have flaws, but motivation to provide goods and services isn't one of them.
Most don't like to hear this, but I agree.

Obama and Clinton (as Secretary of State) very openly supported Ukraine, and the EU sort of played along, although much more apprehensively. They were playing with fire.

In the words of a European ambassador I'm acquainted with: "They don't know what the f** they are doing. This will cause a war.". He said this in 2013.

Losing Ukraine as a buffer zone to the west and even the small possiblity for a direct border with a Nato or EU was way too much for Russia to accept, so they acted aggressively. With the assumption that neither the US nor EU countries would be willing to seriously intervene. Which proved correct, apart from some lackluster sanctioning.
These "flippant" responses are the only acceptable reaction to this non-stop tomfoolery to be honest. And no, Reddit would upvote this link a billion times and gild it with awards on their "I love science" subreddits.
Did the people who pushed the “Fact Checking” system ever consider what the people reading the misinformation the fact check would appear under would think when they saw the fact check?

Because I really doubt the thing going through their head is “wow this might be wrong”. Trust in any government, media or institution has already been completely burned for those people and things like “Fact Checks” to them only makes the misinformation seem more legit.

I’d bet if you actually engaged with those people you’d discover this system accelerated misinformation not curbed it.
In the same vein:

> It’s failed to stop the pandemic in any meaningful way

This isn't true, and makes one question the rest of your message. What is true is that the vaccine doesn't really stop people from contracting Covid. But it prevents them from being sick, which is what matters. This is verifiable.
In my country there is no media I believe less than the fact-checking one, officially given to friends of my current government to the wife of one of the most well-known people in Spain, for its channel "La Sexta", her name is Ana Pastor, wife of Ferreras.

Besides controlling the media nearly as a monopoly, they receive favors from government like public money, when they are supposed to be private media. Same for Cadena Ser, for which there are jokes as "the most public private radio ever".

All this, at least in Spain, are the same people and I consider it basically a layer of corruption with the tax payer money. Also, they have been caught several times doing fact-checking by denying some fact, and when it was proved true (there is a video in Internet from Joan Planas where he requested to correct information), they did not correct the information giving excuses about the inability to do it (so they were aware of the "error").

That is the level of confidence I have in fact checking in Spain. In other countries, I do not know, but I see it as a fight for the monopoly of the truth and to control and censor with the excuse of better quality of information, which is not true here. Besides that, fact-checking should not be even a thing, because things are not so clear sometimes. In fact, I have seen some articles from those fact-checking agents with extreme bias loads with the only purpose of shifting people opinions.

Those were not facts, they were merely perspectives and why you should think what they say and why it is not correct according to them to use one term or another. All in all, propaganda.
I thought about posting the study only, but the CNN article has two links (the one you mention and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3037578/) and also some comments by researchers, so I desided to post the article.

From the nih.gov publication:

> Cannabis appears to continue to exert impairing effects in executive functions even after 3 weeks of abstinence and beyond. While basic attentional and working memory abilities are largely restored, the most enduring and detectable deficits are seen in decision-making, concept formation and planning.

Perfect, thanks for sharing, will give it a try!
I just took up a position involving coding and technical writing and it's been great! I've been keeping my own tech and life blog for years and have been getting more into writing, but have been hesitant to apply for technical writer positions because I didn't want to fully give up code either. I wanted both.

So far it's been a really great balance of coding and writing, and it's been really nice to switch between modes. I'm still feeling quite stressed and time-pressured as my first two projects involved creating quite large demos in a language I hadn't used in a while (and then writing about them!), but I think I'll find a nice mental load balance there with more practice.
From Lead Stories' Response [1]:

> The "Missing Context" label applies to content that (while true or real) might still be misleading because crucial information is missing. Given the enormous engagement the article received and the kinds of reactions it elicited that certainly seems to have been the case here.

“Covid-19: Researcher blows the whistle on data integrity issues in Pfizer’s vaccine trial”

> The BMJ.com headline, shown above, fails to make two important distinctions:

> The allegation concerns just three of the 153 sites at which the vaccine was tested on 44,000 participants. It would have been less misleading to say "data integrity issues at 3 of 153 Pfizer trial sites."

Given how many of the social media audience would read just the title, perhaps the missing context label is accurate.

We do not have that opportunity with the election system, but there have been documented questions around voting machines irregularities, process issues, and other non-transparent issues with the process that are dismissed out of hand because "there is no evidence" however no one is allowed to investigate to obtain said evident thus there will always be no evidence
