As I recall, that song came out in the days following 9/11, and was based on the account of Todd Beamer and others who fought back on United 93. It was not about support for the Iraq or Afghanistan wars.

I could be mistaken, but I don't think Neil Young ever came out in support of the wars. He spoke out plenty against the Iraq war, including the song "Living With War".
One of the single most important things we can do to slow the spread, is isolate when we're sick or in contact with someone that tests positive. If we did this one step effectively, it would reduce infection significantly. It's something done extremely well in countries like SK, Japan, China.

People who need to isolate should be sent care packages so they don't need to go out to the shop, they should update their status regularly and be given what they need to pay bills.
I’m less familiar with the french rev, but the American revolution isn’t exactly known for an antipathy to experts. That’s more pol pot as you say but I was specifically thinking of the maoist cultural revolution. As you can see there are many example of populist rejection of experts leading to truly great things. It should give pause to people.

What software is in place, and are older satellites more vulnerable?

I don't think you should lump unknown and unvaxxed. It creates a false impression. ICU numbers would look different. Most people in the ICU are unknown.

I could go on about hospital visits for non covid reasons being lumped with covid hospital visits.

I have issues with how data is collected in the field. I have issues with the reclassifications that go back and claim covid killed this patients after dying of other reasons.

I have issues with what they decide to collect and what information they ignore.
If you tweak the Emacs "face" settings for Markdown to be mostly-WYSIWYG (plus some gray markup characters), it's pretty nice and low-distraction.

Headings are large and fixed-pitch, bold is bold, italic is italic, link text is underlined and blue, link URLs are gray, bullet asterisks are bold, no angry fruit salad color schemes, etc.

Another contributor to this mostly-WYSIWYG is that *M-q* (`fill-paragraph`) works well.

For some reason these pro censorship people think that by letting someone share an opinion that it is dangerous, not realizing that they are actually making these people more dangerous and others more likely to engage and follow their ideals by censoring them than by letting them share their opinions. A society controlled by fear is one that is easily manipulated and very unstable.

I'm sure none of this has anything to do with Neil Young having a competitive streaming service named Pono and the huge amounts of publicity that comes along with such a public spat with the most popular Podcaster on the planet (I am a cynic, though):

That is a bizarre argument to me. "Stolen"? Plant species spread. Sometimes they're even being spread by animals. Humans have spread numerous plant species across the world. Yet tea plants were "stolen"? Not to mention that even claiming it in the context of Europe is nonsensical to begin with as tea doesn't grow in Europe, where there simply isn't a climate for it. As far as consumption of tea in Europe is concerned, virtually all of it is imports from countries outside of Europe, not something being produced in Europe.

Some places have a healthy mix. GitHub will bold and italicize the text to suggest the rendering of certain blocks, without changing font sizes. Good for reducing the need to swap between edit and preview to verify simple formatting issues as I write.

What I truly despise is when markdown blocks are parsed immediately, where the delimiters are instantly removed and the text gets formatted into a terrible WYSIWYG editor. It causes me to constantly swap mental models as I write. It’s the worst of both worlds.

Budapest Memorandum has been broken (repeatedly).

Article 5 is nothing but words which could be broken in the same way.

Let's consider Article 5. It states that in case of armed attack each party "will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area."

"assist .. by taking .. such action as it deems necessary". Surely, some parties could claim they don't deem necessary sending their help into a fight they don't want to be a part of.
I think this hits at the heart of the issue though - you don't get to, as a public figure, decide whether or not you are "the voice of a movement". In mass media today, influencers and other people of note who don't have advanced degrees should be doing their research - from credible sources - so they're not spouting inaccuracies and falsehoods to their followers.

Joe Rogan doesn't need to do these things if he's just "hanging out with his buddies smoke'n" but he also doesn't have an obligation to have provocateurs and hacks like robert malone or ben shapiro on his show. He does it because he knows his fanbase will listen to it, ingest the information, and then speak it as fact to their friends and family - and THAT is where the danger comes in. Furthermore, he also knows that parts of his fanbase will go wild to see their fringe views espoused by a guest on their favorite podcast, without Joe challenging them to back their claims up with facts. I'm sure he also knows that his listeners skew young and male, and impressionable young men have been radicalized to a dangerous degree on the internet. Having the same views on his podcast as conspiracy theory sites, for example, will undoubtedly make it easier for the bad actors running these sites to radicalize JRE listeners (who will then, of course, become a part of the fanbase that loves when their theories are given time on his show in some perverse feedback loop).

He has also inked a deal with the largest music streaming service in the world for more money than any of us will see in our entire lives - at that point I don't think you can even say he's just "hanging out" any more. It's facetious at best, and wilfully negligent at worst, to assume that no one thinks of him as an authority figure, because even if he's playing the everyman character his guests profess to be authority figures in their fields. If he doesn't seriously challenge their false claims or ask for evidence from credible sources, he's doing his listeners a disservice.
Yup, and knowing that having triangle sides multiples of 3,4,5 guarantees that it's a right triangle is not the same as employing pythagorean theorem. You know one triplet, and not why it works, or that e.g. it works for 5, 12, and 13 and 11,60, 61 as well.

No, it is needed, because that’s how you know the sentence is complete. The period does not separate sentences, it signals that a sentence is finished. Without the period you don’t know whether the author has completed their thought or not.

For example, as far as I can know, your last sentence might have been intended to be: “In fact, when people are freed from convention in contexts like chat programs, they often drop unneeded bits like trailing periods and any semblance of grammatical decency.”
It's more nefarious than simple loss-leadering and undercutting your competitor's margins. That's business 101. Amazon is playing business 201. Amazon took over pricing for the widget, and then undercut that price with their own. Stay with me for a second because 201 is kinda complicated.

Widget usually sells for $25. Amazon agrees to buy 1 from you at $20 (you give them a volume discount because it's Amazon buying so you figure it'll sell like hotcakes. You still make a profit at $20.). Amazon then prices your widget on their marketplace for $30. Seems fine so far. The trick is that Amazon turns around and sells their widget, made by an alternate supplier, for $23.

Your deal with Amazon means you no longer have control over how much your widget sells for, just that you're selling them to Amazon at $20 and Amazon gets to charge however much they want.

To no one's surprise, your widget, priced at $30, doesn't sell because Amazon's is $23. You're not allowed to turn around and sell them on Amazon's marketplace at all,
so they just sit there at $30 and don't sell.
Lol…yea, same thing happened to a comment I made a few weeks ago. Everyone started talking about all the drugs they take and it’s a chemical thing and that there’s no other hope without them. This is where we are at in this country. Look at all the drug commercials on tv. And then…you know, people against the vaccination drugs but that take tons of others. I’ve given up on people at this point. They are so lost.

Advice to OP. Just do anything besides what you are currently doing and that will change your trajectory. Like try not working at your desk and work somewhere else. Work different hours. Don’t work and do something else. Just don’t do what you’re doing - do one of the infinite amount of things you could do otherwise
I had a similar situation when working for Amazon as a non-Amazon employee. Super shitty laptop. My theory is that they want shitty laptops because it dissuades people from keeping them, and hypothetically keeping sensitive information on them. They were also treated rather disposable in my experience too.
>"guys, this is shit, start again and let's do it properly, no you can't have your 1 meg tracker in there, not even one of them, write a barebones one".

Is it even really about trackers? Even with adblocker on purging 50% of the page, these things are still slow.

I think that putting some sort of mid-sized blockage at the lagrange point, as posited in the article, would result in not a shadow, but an overall decrease in intensity (because of refraction, and similar to the measurable but slight decrease in brightness whenever an asteroid passed in front of the Sun).

This would allow us to modulate exactly how many watts of sunlight hit us.

I understand what you're saying, but I'm seeking a very particular setup. Currently you cannot get a VM/guest to exclusively control the display panel of a laptop. You can get it to take exclusive control of a GPU, even an integrated GPU, but not the display controller and laptop panel itself. Usually the laptop user is left running an external monitor for their "main display". I did see myself administering pfsense and the separate "services" VM from the web browser.

The best you can do is have the host/hypervisor own the laptop display, and then remote desktop to or "stream out" the guest framebuffer.
Why have you dropped the full-stop in this comment but none of your other comments? You’re just putting it on.
Well, I think people do trust amazon, they don't trust all the other companies on amazon. But unless I'm misunderstanding, this move means that people can't buy from amazon any longer. They have to buy everything from all the other vendors on amazon. The problem being, of course, that these other sellers may or may not scam you. (I'm not 100% about that interpretation of this move, but that's what it sounds like? Lawyers may want to chime in.)

So under these conditions, I would strongly urge people not to purchase from amazon's site, because it's gonna be essentially 100% potential scams. They should move to target or walmart. At least until those stores are also obliged to do the same thing. (Since they have the same fulfillment business models I'm assuming they'd be next? But they should be safe for now.) After the law gets to them too, people may want to limit online shopping only to small ticket items that won't cause too much disappointment if you get scammed. Because online shopping will become the wild west with every transaction being backed only by caveat emptor.

> Think about what you’re saying: No open discussion can possibly contain misinformation.

That is not what I'm saying. I am opposed to the boiling down of a non-establishment discussion podcast to the singular word "misinformation. Just as I'm sure the commenter I replied to would object if I referred to any news source he cited - NYT, WaPo, WSJ, CDC, FDA, etc. - and defined it simply as "misinformation".

The word in and of itself is misinformation, typically meant to steer people away from reading, hearing, and seeing information they don't like. And it shouldn't be tolerated. We as a society need to start fostering open discussion of topics and viewpoints that the establishment and its followers doesn't like or approve of.
I am also sure, since Pono hasn't been in business for half a decade.

I'm a skeptic, but it gets in the way of pedagogy, for example we often don't teach high school students how friction really works (according to the most up to date theories). Instead they get a few basic equations that describe a much simpler model (and which fall down if you try to make some predictions). Certainly I teach my children to be mildly skeptical, but I see no value in them questioning flossing until they're about 16 and can start to read and argue for themselves. And even then, I don't think most people are capable to read primary literature or review articles.

As to searching on pubmed and reading for weeks: that's the problem! The vast majority of people are not qualified to read the scientific literature. You need extensive training to learn how to read literature and evaluate it properly. This is especially true for medical/biology research. Learning to be proficient in that world (medical biology/public health literature) is the price of entry for being effective at changing policies. The Skeptics don't always win.

You're welcome to your own political beliefs. Personally, I'm happy to live in a pluralistic society.

Trying to silence everyone you disagree with seems truly dystopian, but I agree with your distaste for those people. None of them are libertarian; they're extremely socially conservative conspiracy theorists.

> He was a big supporter of the Iraq war, even making a song "Let's Roll".

“Let's roll” was released in 2002, and was very explicitly about the passengers of United 93 and the story constructed from the available information from that flight of the passengers fighting back against the hijackers after becoming aware of the earlier attacks. Neither the timing nor the lyrics nor anything else about it supports the idea that it is about the 2003 Iraq War.

I don't trust Joe Rogan any more than I do any news media about the pandemic. The media has made countless mistakes, he's made his own mistakes, but at least Joe Rogan is willing to somewhat own his mistakes while the media never has. For that reason, I don't care.

Also, on that note, "provocateurs and hacks"? The journal Nature, about as authoritative as you can get, has this to say about Malone:

"In late 1987, Robert Malone performed a landmark experiment. He mixed strands of messenger RNA with droplets of fat, to create a kind of molecular stew. Human cells bathed in this genetic gumbo absorbed the mRNA, and began producing proteins from it. Realizing that this discovery might have far-reaching potential in medicine, Malone, a graduate student at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California, later jotted down some notes, which he signed and dated. If cells could create proteins from mRNA delivered into them, he wrote on 11 January 1988, it might be possible to 'treat RNA as a drug'. Another member of the Salk lab signed the notes, too, for posterity. Later that year, Malone’s experiments showed that frog embryos absorbed such mRNA2. It was the first time anyone had used fatty droplets to ease mRNA’s passage into a living organism."

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02483-w

So, he did (according to Nature) help invent mRNA, but he's a hack because he disagrees with the "scientific consensus" or something. Reasonable minds can differ on that.
I don’t understand why this is getting upvotes. Maybe I’m an idiot?
> Ted Cruz? Marco Rubio? Rand Paul? Greg Abbott? Ron DeSantis

Of the people you’ve named below only Paul has any history of arguing for the freedom to say things he doesn’t personally like. The rest just complain when speech they like is curtailed, and they may use the phrase.

I can call a pizza salad, and sing its praises all day, but that doesn’t mean I like salad, or advocate for it.

You’re right that Paul is being hypocritical though.
Why would the two numbers differ significantly?
Sure I'm not saying it's not possible. I did stuff in the 90s too. But usually you had to put a lot of effort into arena allocators and reusing pointers. Also lots of software then was pretty jank and would just segfault and errnos we're often not handled.
Spotify has a multi-year contract with Rogan, paying him more than $100 million for exclusive content.

That does make me want to switch platforms.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/spotify-strikes-exclusive-podca...
This is a reddit tier comment and not nearly as clever. This exact idea could be conveyed in more thoughtful way than "you must be an idiot". Unfortunately my own comment is guilty of the same thing, which is to reduce some one else's comment into a more absurd and ridiculous version.
Good point. Spotify uses the term "monthly listeners" and it seems like they do mean unique individuals. That number is 6M for Young, but they don't reveal what it is for Rogan. He's claimed that he gets 200M monthly downloads, so the number of actual listeners is probably smaller.
> he listens to everyone and engages with them

Yeah, in a very specific meaning of "listen to everyone", as in he clearly listened to the people advocating Ivermectin to trait covid but not the vaccine, which to me seems like tribalism as such decision is not based on listening to anyone making a bit of sense.
When dealing with hierarchical file systems, very few places include that trailing slash when referring to the directory. In most places it’s optional and ignored. In a few places, including the trailing slash will change behaviour (e.g. rsync, mv, and where symlinks to directories are involved where it’s just all completely unpredictable and varies widely).

This analogy would be an argument for allowing a trailing slash and redirecting to sans-slash, but not for requiring a slash.
