You don't need to trust him, but I think you're making a false equivalency there. The reason Joe Rogan apologizes, is that some of his takes are WILD. The whole thing about the wildfires last year being set by left-wing activists was a truly insane statement, and I have no idea where he found that information or what possessed him to say it on his show.

On the other hand, the media generally doesn't make ridiculous pie-in-the-sky takes. Every once in a while they get it wrong (sometimes dangerously so) but not with anything near the same magnitude or frequency that a comparatively uneducated influencer does. And they do apologize, for small inaccuracies with an editor's note at the bottom and for large inaccuracies with a retraction published in the next edition of the paper. Newspapers HATE printing retractions, and they try very hard never to say something that would require it.

Joe rogan has no such compunctions - in fact, he's on the same playbook as so many influencers and provocateurs before him. If you say enough crazy stuff, and only apologize for the worst of it, people are eventually going to give up trying to get you to denounce any statements you've made which are only mildly crazy. Here's a great example [0] - Joe apparently said you shouldn't worry about taking the vaccine if you're young and healthy, and when he apologized he called himself a moron and said he was talking about OTHER people. That's insane: getting vaccinated regardless of age means a brush with covid is less severe, thus saving you a trip to the hospital - and a hospital bed is saved for someone who actually needs it (covid-related or not).

I empathize with your apathy, but I would strongly urge you to think about the difference between a news corporation that hires professional fact-checkers to confirm their articles and has a two-source policy on news, and a guy who wilfully admits he's a moron before continuing to spout potentially harmful views against vaccinating yourself during a pandemic.

Edit: whoops, you edited your comment after I started to reply to you. I'll make this brief: Robert Malone may have invented mRNA vaccines, but he's still anti-vax and believes the vaccines made from his technology (or some derivative thereof) make covid worse. On his episode of JRE he said something called "mass formation psychosis" existed, and had something to do with COVID(?!?) which is a bald-faced lie. You can be an excellent scientist on the frontier of medical research and still be an idiot who has no business spreading your personal views. If Joe had fact-checked him, his opinions would have folded, but he didn't.

Anti-vaccine misinformation is killing hundreds of thousands of people. It is not an unimportant issue.
We used to joke at astronomy conferences that if we stopped by the nearest air force base and snagged a fighter jet we could fund all NSF Astronomy money for the next decade, and the math was probably within 10% tbh.

Someone that was sitting around complaining with us was more familiar with military gear and had some numbers on the cost of training the average fighter pilot. They calculated exactly how many pilot trainings it would take to fund all of NSF Astro for a year. That was nearly a decade ago now, so take it with a grain of salt, but it was in single digits iirc.
I don't think that this sort of "average-based" statistics is really useful or actionable.

All of the following situations are different, and more exist:

a) earning $100k a year via sustainable investment returns e.g. pension

b) earning $100k a year doing, say, charity work for 20-30 hours a week

c) earning $100k a year at a bank doing 50 hour weeks

d) earning $100k a year as a self employed "whatever" who works whenever they want

e) earning $100k a year hustling, doing three jobs and working all of the time

All else being equal, all of these people are going to feel very different about their lives, despite theoretically having the same income.
But think of the children! What would an 8th grader do if they read the world... "bitch" or "god damn"! Anarchy would then ensue!

I'm quite shocked there are adults uncomfortable with reading those types of words enough to decide 8th graders would also be. In a book about the Holocaust, where that's going to be among the last things noticed..
I asked Spotify support what happened to all my Neil Young albums. They just disconnected me.
> I don't understand what motivates a move like this.

Neil Young was saved from Polio as a child by being one of the early recipients of the Salk vaccine. As someone who is living proof of the effectiveness of vaccines, he likely has very little patience for people who profit off of spreading vaccine misinformation and put his own profits on the line to make the statement. Good for him.
yeah, the hysteria, people are just banned, and hop on another platform. Even funding is going to be easy for banned people.

Not supporting the ban culture, just saying, its not as a powerful a tool that some people want it to be.

I can easily goto rumble to watch an artist banned off youtube, its not stopping me.
Engage with peoples points, don't just claim that they're sanctimonious or that there's a lot of them, so you get to ignore them - that's absurd.

A lot of people sharing the same opinion doesn't magically make that opinion less valid, engaging with the world as if there's some great conspiracy against you is counterproductive.
Maybe they dont want to hit an, obviously, US military server like https://dodcio.defense.gov perhaps?
Surprised the author didn't make any attempt to estimate the cost of renting an equivalent apartment today. 4 bedroom flat with extra living room in London today? Whee.
> It’s hard to deny the appeal of brainstorming. To be given a judgment-free space to express yourself? What a dream! And especially appealing, imagine, to the ad men of the 1940s.

This, interestingly, aligns with some advice we received as a young couple. it was advised to periodically ask the other about their ideas and dreams without either 1) telling them it wont work or 2) asking how they'll make it work. Just to explore how the other things, feels, and dreams about the future. An example would be like "I really would love to sail a boat with my children one day, i think it would be so cool to teach them skills on the ocean and show them the world. Plus theres no internet there so we can all focus on eachother, I'd love that." --> Even if the dream is impossible look what they said, they want to deeply invest and connect with you and children, they value seeing the world, and the find beauty in it, etc.
So is dismissing something by saying "it's just virtue signaling".
Spotify: “that’s below my line”
Did he publish an open letter on his website and then delete it? I wonder why.
I guess Young got tired of Rockin’ in the Free World and would rather go rock in a world where speech must be approved by The Authorities.

Sue Gray has done other reports, when I think of her I think of 50 shades of grey.
Seems reasonable. Apparently it’s around 11 million per episode.
I'm getting strange COVID-speak vibes from your comment.

All that "you don't get to decide", "and that's where danger comes in".

I think the reasoning in your head is actually backwards, and you think that because JRE got Spotify contract he now has to "be doing their research" in fear of losing it. It's all about money, eh?
> and own the transactions

I would strike that from the description. You never really own the transaction when it comes to Amazon. FBA customers are not your customers. You cannot communicate with them and have the kind of relationship you would have with your customers if you "owned" the transaction.

Case in point: Amazon can shut down your FBA account next Monday and you'd have no way to reach "your" customers unless you included some kind of a registration form with your product and they registered on your site.

Source: My wife used to sell on Amazon. Fucking nightmare.
From the minutes you posted, I can see how one could interpret it as being politically motivated, especially the words about "bigger plan to holistically redact." However, I think there is an alternate explanation, from the last sentence: "in an appropriate way for the age related presentation." To me, that reads like they are concerned mostly about the age-appropriateness of the content, which is not necessarily politically motivated. For example, if they were being anti-gay, they wouldn't say "this pro-gay content is bad for 8th graders but ok for 10th graders."

You and I have different views on sexual content being political or not, and that's fine. I can see both sides, but I just don't think it is inherently political.

Wrt 1st Amendment violations, teachers are government employees representing the local government. Saying teachers can't teach something in school as a representative of the government is different than restricting a student's speech.
There's a lot of analysis on how to use a computer program to solve Wordle. Have people been able to use these to extract any suggested techniques for humans on easy or hard mode besides optimal first guesses?
Weird. A publication that has gotten a few things wrong in its 60 year history. Unprecedented.
> I want periodic exposure to all the proteins, to keep my immunity up and minimize my risk for now and future variants.

I think this makes sense to say now that the new variants are becoming less and less lethal. At the same time, this sounds similar to anti-vaccine arguments.
Multiple states are currently making teaching about racism illegal based on whether or not parents subjectively feel "uncomfortable", and half of the country is trying to perform a fascist coup but you want to boil it down to "outrage and attention"?

That's a reasonable answer. I appreciate that. I agree on your main point.
Yeah, Apple is a breeze but only if you stay within the crib prison they put you in.
He knew what the outcome of what his "ultimatum". He put his personal profits on the line and followed through. This clearly isn't a case of virtue signaling.
Which is exactly why we need to use safe languages. People can't even prevent vulnerabilities in the code they are scrutinizing, much less the other 90% they aren't.

The more minimalist a system is, the less people seem to think in terms of "annoyances". In fact, simplicity fans seem to pride themselves on doing a bit more themselves.

Like, manual transmission people think of the constant need to manage it yourself as just how driving is supposed to be.

It's a big problem in Linux, where things can totally break and nobody bats an eye.
It was Spotify's decision. Neil Young demanded they drop Rogan in order to keep his music. Spotify decided not to do that.

Marc Lore sold Diapers.com and his others sites to Amazon and worked for them for a couple years.

He then left Amazon and founded Jet.com. He ran Jet for a little bit and then sold it to Walmart. Walmart put him in charge of their US e-commerce sales, and they shut Jet down and pointed the domain to Walmart.com.

He left Walmart in recent years and I’m not sure what he’s up to currently.
Mr. Rogers having an open discussion with a post-WW1 / pre-WW2 Hitler would be fascinating and probably not useless.

The problem starts when Hitler is having discussions with only people who listen to Hitler. Without an interlocutor to say "wait a minute, that's crazy talk and here's why", it's easy to fall into an echo chamber of group-think.
I enjoy Apple Music as it works on my Apple Watch without an iPhone. It holds both uploaded music and streaming additions to my library. I previously used Google Play Music which was an MVP its whole life cycle. The switch to Apple Music was rather easy.

On the Beach is one of my favorite Young albums and its on AM.
Well sadly Neil Young is no Taylor Swift who can move the large caps.

You clearly forgot about Russiagate. The claim that Trump was colluding with Russia was all over the news for over a year with constant coverage every day. The Washington Post has now retracted dozens of articles, rewritten huge parts of stories, and basically admitted it was all a sham.

That was a huge, huge pie-in-the-sky take. The media is absolutely not above their own lunacy. Green Greenwald, the reporter who broke the news about Snowden, agreed that it was "this generation's WMDs in terms of media malfeasance."

My point is that the media is absolutely capable of getting things immensely wrong on incredible magnitude.
Thankfully most Australians aren't as self-centred as all that
Most doctors and nurses do not work in emergency wards. So if it were truly desperate, it seems almost trivial to get more support. There are 200,000 dentists in the US. 115,000 veterinarians.

And I used to buy SD cards and Mac adapters from Amazon for work and it was about half of them products were fake until I finally stopped and got them from cdw. They would fight me every time I brought it up. It is well know issue glad you never dealt with it.
That is exactly what I see in my mind when I think of a Reddit mod.
What I meant was that Spotify didn't want to drop anyone. Young asked them to drop him after they wouldn't drop Rogan.
My understanding is PayPal positions themselves in a very specific way to avoid many consumer credit-related laws. They aren't a bank, it's not "credit" by the standard definition, etc.
I'm curious what you think of situations like mine:

I have MS, and I'm not sure that frequently boosting my immune system when I have an autoimmune disease is the best idea. In addition, I'm in a single-income WFH household and we easily isolated when we got omicron. My sister and I literally caught Omicron together and just quarantined for 14 days. We had our mother drop off stuff on the doorstep so we didn't have to go out/expose anyone. It was boring, but I'm damn sure we didn't infect anyone.
Pretty sure this is a non sequitur. This isn't a desktop environment, but a desktop application to manage containers. Right?

A key point around Rancher Desktop's k8s (actually k3s) support that stands out is that it allows you to use any k3s version and swap between them. This is great for those that want to test their workloads on different k8s versions right on their desktop.
My own experience of counterfeits includes, of all things, water filters. The packaging was perfect, but the filters literally wouldn't fit without modification.

I'm not quite sure in what sense you're using the 19th century as a reference here. As an example of a time of rapid technological change? As a time before central bank inflation targeting?
A book (or movie, or album) can be incredible and still not be appropriate for some levels of maturity. The board didn't argue about the subject matter, quite the opposite. The concern was specific content in the book that violated board policies.

This is a very different story than most people here are making it out to be.
Being free to choose not to do business that promotes misinformation is a freedom. I wouldn’t do it personally, but I respect his choice.
Agree. I did a web application where all views were defined in the HTML file, all disabled except for the current view. The app would then switch views by simply enabling/disabling views as needed. It was super fast. And keeping the views up-to-date was easy. The app simply updated all views when the data changed => the visible view and all non-visible views would always be up-to-date without needing any special handling or virtual DOMs. Super simple. Super fast.
I’d say we should handle it with more speech. All the experts should start their own podcasts where they have their own guests and talk about, among other things, _why_ the things discussed on his show are misinformation. Make each episode at least an hour, and have an actual discussion. They don’t need to smoke weed or anything, but people like rogan because he does still feel like just some guy with a podcast, and mainstream media is less popular than ever because people are sick of being told what to think and not to question things.

That would be infinitely more engaging than a clickbait headline and 3 minutes from an “expert” on CNN/MSNBC/Fox.
I was hoping to find a variety of sit stand desks, something that can be leant on whatever the height and handle the weight of some monitors mounted to the back face of said desk using something like an Ergotron arm with a triple bow, but sadly its nothing like that.
Then if not Joe, who would his audience listen to? Shapiro? The next guy?

You cannot, and shouldn't, sculpt a model of society where anyone who speaks out loud needs to speak with journalistic and scientific integrity. It cannot work; it never has, and it never will. Regimes which try to limit free speech fail, unfailingly.

You should push for more critical listening. The most surefire way to underdevelop your ability for critical thought and listening is to bubble the content you consume to only professional sources, mainstream news, and government spokespeople. So, don't listen to Rogan, or anyone else you disagree with; you're dumber for it. Not because everything he says is right; but because you'll slowly lose the skill of not just taking everything at face value, but thinking critically about why he's wrong, integrating the things said on his show with your own experiences, other media you've consumed, what scientists say, what politicians say, what random hackernews commentors say, and forming a holistic opinion about the world.

Not everyone has that skill; either by choice, accident, or otherwise. And that's the second skill you need to develop: being ok that some people will believe the wrong thing. They'll spread it. People will die; that's what people do. Think on how spectacular our world is; most of it exists in the only time in human history where freedom of speech is so protected; and some choose to desire to throw that precious right away to... save lives? Our collective freedom and values are far, far more important than life; I hope, beyond hope, that they'll outlive me.

Religion has done this world a lot of bad. In fact, many would be surprised with how recently the Vatican's crackdown on freedom of speech led to many scientists being unable to discover the nature of reality; that's what happens when we don't cherish freedom of speech. But, one thing it did do right, and with it one thing many have lost in our society: the collective recognition that there are goals for our species greater than life itself.

When someone says something wrong, or something I disagree with: I cherish your right to say it, here, in this forum. You shouldn't be labeled as disinformation; nor censored with a downvote. We should have a discussion.

Here's a variant question about Wordle strategy that's AFAIK unsolved, which I'm currently working on (my program is too slow). Namely: yes, any optimal strategy will involve adapting your second guess to the response to the first guess, but what if you'd like to play two blind guesses instead of one? (Many human players seem to do this in practice.) In that case, what would be the best two starting words (and decision tree thereon), and how much worse is it than the globally optimal strategy?

In other words: what's the cost of a second blind guess?

Maybe going even further: is it possible to still win the game with three blind guesses, or four? What is the smallest subset of "blind" guesses after which the possible solution set is "small" (say at most a word or a handful: less than some specified k).
I have never listened to a single episode of Joe Rogan. I still don’t understand why would someone waste their time listening to someone who is not an authority on anything and doesn’t add any value to the audience.
