Not to mention the customisation and level of commitment that went into your forum persona. There were signatures, user bars, and yes ranks that rewarded commitment with the number of posts rather than magical internet points. Compare that with the sparse stylings of reddit, this site, or social media profiles.

There were certainly conflicts and power-tripping moderators on those boards, but on balance I don't think the downsides outweighed the upsides. If anything, the conflict just made the sense of community more real. Being a regular carried with it a sense of obligation.

I have revisited the surviving boards from my past, most are limping on, but none of the regulars I remembered were to be found.

I still hold a vague hope that the old threaded bulletin boards might be revived some day.
I agree that we interpret the results of those studies very differently.

I'd also suggest that we only regard lab studies with a bit of intellectual curiosity, rather than a meaningful focus. Lab studies are very different than the real world where my son trades his batman mask for a friend's spiderman mask because it's cooler :D

The Disinformation Playbook (2018)
Defining a standard isn't that simple, you'd have to decide:

1) what all qualifies, every avocado type, are there variants that should be excluded, etc.

2) how pure is pure enough, when you're dumping truckloads of stuff into a hopper some other stuff is always along for the ride

3) what if pure xxx oil has some problems in processing or with shelf stability, etc. - what do you allow and what not

None of these questions are easy to answer so by default standards don't exist until there's a big push
I'm not freaking out. I'm just trying to avoid getting myself and my family sick. Who likes being sick? I'm not living in some underground bunker, just taking basic precautions. It's the same reason I buckle my seatbelt: huge potential upside with negligible downside. So worst case scenario, I accidentally wore a mask I didn't need to wear. Oh no.

I have no reason to believe COIVD would be bad for me. But what if it is? Then I'd rather get sick when things have calmed down and hospitals are at normal capacity.
Absolutely true. But redundancy is still a good thing.
I think I understand the difference; you're using "string" the way I would use "blob" or "untyped byte array."

This controversy will be over in a few months at worse. Spotify nullifies the damage by removing the music now, and the investment in the music would be a long term investment.
Comp is still an upgrade compared to permanent employment for essentially the same workload & skill; for a permanent role at 80k with minimal benefits and the legally-mandated minimum of 25 holidays/year you can get the same by contracting for 7-10 months at the 600 mark and take the rest off. You'll miss out on the pool tables and brunch on Fridays and the company "culture" though - I say that only half-sarcastically because that's off the table in a post-pandemic world anyway.

Contracting also allows you to defer your personal tax liability to the time when you actually take the money out of the company, so you can accumulate money and leave it there, still paying yourself the usual amount to stay within the same personal tax bracket (and use the extra money to keep paying yourself while you take an extended holiday for example). If you're working on your own tech startup and need capital for expenses (hardware, etc), you can use that money directly and essentially pay no personal tax on it. At least in the UK, this is limited to tech though - if you're running a software consultancy company and decide to attempt your own tech SaaS it should be fine, but don't try to use software-company money to start a plumbing business for example - if in doubt, talk to an accountant.

Even setting the money issue aside, simply being able to take months of holiday every year would be a problem for many permanent positions but the opportunity is implicitly there with contracting when switching between contracts - simply delay your search for the next one. If your holiday time is flexible this is even better and you can use the downtime to wait for the right opportunity to come up.

Another perk of switching clients frequently is that you get exposed to lots of different industries allowing you to make connections and gain domain knowledge. There's so much out there beyond just the tech, and those rarely have any good or consistent "documentation" you can learn from - you really need to be on the ground to grasp it. Doing that with permanent employment is technically possible but I hear that switching permanent jobs frequently is a red flag.

Freedom of being able to quit a wrong opportunity is very nice; there are no RSUs or similar that would keep you at a job you dislike. If it isn't working out, it's best for everyone to leave things there. Boredom is also implicitly taken care of as your contracts are short enough anyway.

Essentially, these are my reasons so far. Maybe my opinion will change in the future, but for the time being contracting allows me to increase my comp & gain flexibility with pretty much no increase in workload or extra skills required, as opposed to let's say grinding LeetCode to get into a FAANG, have to deal with FAANG-scale problems that I couldn't care less about (I quite like working on smaller-scale projects) or learn to play the company politics game.

I met one of my co-founders (we are now a Series A startup) originally via LinkedIn, and together we met our third co-founder also via LinkedIn. The first co-founder and I are in the same city, but the third one was in a different country - so it was almost a year later and many months after we'd raised our original seed round that we ever met the 3rd co-founder in person (we started during COVID lockdowns).

Overall it's been pretty good, the geographic diversity of our founding team gives us different perspectives on hiring and fundraising, and it means we had multiple "locations" right from the get-go.
EU food labeling regulation has following requirement (Article 22):

1. The indication of the quantity of an ingredient or category of ingredients used in the manufacture or preparation of a food shall be required where the ingredient or category of ingredients concerned:

(a) appears in the name of the food or is usually associated with that name by the consumer;

(b) is emphasised on the labelling in words, pictures or graphics; or

(c) is essential to characterise a food and to distinguish it from products with which it might be confused because of its name or appearance.

https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CEL...

There is also the general base requirement of not being misleading in Article 7:

1. Food information shall not be misleading, particularly:

(a) as to the characteristics of the food and, in particular, as to its nature, identity, properties, composition, quantity, durability, country of origin or place of provenance, method of manufacture or production;

(b) by attributing to the food effects or properties which it does not possess;

(c) by suggesting that the food possesses special characteristics when in fact all similar foods possess such characteristics, in particular by specifically emphasising the presence or absence of certain ingredients and/or nutrients;

(d) by suggesting, by means of the appearance, the description or pictorial representations, the presence of a particular food or an ingredient, while in reality a component naturally present or an ingredient normally used in that food has been substituted with a different component or a different ingredient.

Ironically where I live, it's far simpler to get a private pilot's license than a provisional car license.

It takes 25 hour in a plane to get a recreational license, and 120 supervised hours logged in a car, for people who don't have a relative to do the supervision and need to pay and instructor, the cost comes out more than getting a pilots license.

Once that's done to be allowed on the road alone, they need to get their 2nd provisional license a year later, then full car license a year again after that, with additional tests along the way.
Literally the last 200 hundred years of astronomy have been a series of "surprisal" that ended up being "part of the ouevre" 10 years later. Magnetars are a fairly niche area, as are neutron star in general.

Neutron stars are really surprising, actually, in the sense that their physics look like nothing we have on earth. We will probably be finding unexpected neutron stars and things like slow magnetars for quite some time.
> It’s still strange to me that in the USA I can get a 30 year FIXED mortgage at 2.75% when inflation was 7%.

A variable 2.75% with inflation at an unusually high 7% would be weirder than a fixed; a variable rate loan has a rate based on current conditions, a fixed rate loan has rated based on expectations over the lifetime of the loan (both in terms of value of money and risk of loss.)

Now, it may seem weird that you can get a 30-year fixed loan at all, but once you accept that, having the rate below current inflation when inflation has been at a unusually high level for a shirt period of time isn't particularly odd.
Interest in getting a job that requires it, not interst for its own sake. The number of people who cannot find 1-2 hours a week over the course of a year to prepare despite an interest in doing so is vanishingly small. Yes you might struggle to find the time if you have two jobs and two toddlers, but kids grow up and the ROI is clearly there. Leet code sucks. But its a solid and relatively cheap (time and money) investment, and in particular is cheaper than any other of the (not quite as) high paying jobs I can compare it to.

The freemium service provides access to machine learning models on GPU instances, served with FastAPI.

Well what is there to be done about it really? You stop printing money and servicing debt and you wind up in default, now unable to import goods, which you rely heavily on because you wouldn't be in this situation in the first place is your domestic production was strong. So you get... prices going sky high on imported goods. Either way you dice it, they're fucked. It's an entire country stuck in a debt trap. The only outcome is economic collapse, and all the government can really do is fudge the numbers to slow it down.
You might also have noticed this is partly a very well thought out hack to make Unicode less sensitive to disagreements and changes in consensus on which flags are encoded, or even the names of the countries concerned!

Of course I'll get sick, I've had the cold a few times this year already. That doesn't mean I try to get sick. Don't you wash your hands?

It's saying that there were two pure and nonoxidized samples, the two Mexican refined oils.

There were no "extra virgin" samples that were both pure and nonoxidized, though of the pure extra-virgin samples, the CalPure one was the least oxidized. They had 2 samples that were low oxidization but were apparently roughly 100% soybean oil.

Last year, I had a several months bout with painful GI issues. I couldn’t be far from a bathroom, and I had stomach pain when I wasn’t full.

The GI doctor didn’t find anything wrong. I figured it must be something in my diet. I tried eliminating all the standard stuff. It wasn’t until I realized that I tolerated ordering out much better than cooking my own food that I isolated the problem.

I had a glass bottle of evidently rancid avocado oil that I’d refill from a large plastic bottle.

I use avocado oil in everything. I swapped it out and the problem was gone in a few days.

They state explicitly that it is partially oxidized. Only two brands produced nonoxidized samples, and both of those brands were refined oil. Thus, every virgin oil was not nonoxidized.

>The USA could probably use a decade of double digit inflation

It's a very thin ice to walk on. High inflation threatens USD's global reserve currency status and it's in addition to using financial control for political pressure of opponents (e.g. threats to ban countries from SWIFT). When (not if) this status will be lost you will get serious additional inflationary pressure from foreign governments and private investors dumping USD-denominated assets. In the best case scenario it will be a prolonged multi-decade process as with GBP, but in the worst case scenario unwinding can be quite fast, especially considering China's reserves (i.e. it can start selling USD-denominated assets as a form of financial attack).

Crack open a physics textbook. Waste can either be highly energetic or long lived. You can't pick both. And I think it's fair to say that unless they dump it down an active volcano it won't get spewed airborne Chernobyl style.

Nuclear waste isn't particularly noteworthy compared to all sorts of other nasty chemicals that humanity stores in large volume.
I absolutely can expect the majority to endure a minor inconvenience, if that minority they're protecting is a thousand innocent children in a given year (you didn't pick a number, so I will, 78 million children).

But, again, you know all of this, you just don't care. Shameful.
It turns out a good fitting mask is essential for comfort. I had a problem with masks being hard to breathe in and fogging up my glasses. Then I found a good set of N95 masks that have a real solid fit. It's loose and flexible enough to be breathable, and has a solid seal across the nose so moisture doesn't get near my glasses. You can tell it's a good fit because it deflates/inflates likes a balloon when you breathe.

It's not so much that we don't care, but that the current jetpacks are so expensive, hard to operate, low runtime, and so unsafe that they just aren't relevant to most people. I'm not sure that the technology will ever improve enough to make the sci-fi style jetpack that anyone can use.

The only jetpack I've seen that I'd actually be willing to use is the kind that's more like a hose tethered to a water pump that lifts you a few feet above the water, that one looks like it'd be fun, with little chance of injury if it fails.

Your claim:

> The article contradicts your claim "reported and quietly fixed days later without ever really owning up to it".

It doesn't contradict the initial claim since the article to which you linked is from a year later. What you would need to do is establish the historical chronology of newspaper articles that did not report police lies and then quietly correct the record days later. Otherwise your counterclaim is very weak.

> Media reported what was established at the time

News media do not report what is established at any time. What is established is by nature not news. The presence of claims in the media are then used to convince people of what information is established as true. By uncritically repeating lies news media has been fanning conflict since before the sinking of the Maine.

Maybe in your experience that conflation makes sense, but a developer is not necessarily a software engineer.

There are distinct educational programs that differ between "computer science" and "software engineering", and a number of professional organizations are lobbying for software engineering licensure, similar to other engineering professions.

Even Dijkstra knew of the differentation:
'"A number of these phenomena have been bundled under the name "Software Engineering". As economics is known as "The Miserable Science", software engineering should be known as "The Doomed Discipline", doomed because it cannot even approach its goal since its goal is self-contradictory. Software engineering, of course, presents itself as another worthy cause, but that is eyewash: if you carefully read its literature and analyse what its devotees actually do, you will discover that software engineering has accepted as its charter "How to program if you cannot."'

Pardon my French but that whole thing was needless and stupid. I mean beyond stupidity stupid. We're talking levels of stupidity that shouldn't even be possible.

I don't mean the already mentioned and worked over issues of personal appearance and the presentation of their room, the stereotypical autism excuses, etc etc. I mean just doing a modicum of research before agreeing to speak with Jessie Watters! Watters used to be Bill O'Reilly's guy, did a segment called 'Watter's World' where he would interview people and get them to (yes, you guessed it!) say stupid things so that he and O'Reilly could mug at the camera and say 'Kids these days!'

Just a cursory search of YouTube would have brought up video after video of this sort of thing. The only interviewer that should have raised more red flags would have been if they'd been told they'd be interviewed by Mark Dice! Instead this arrogant puffed up moron went in with no research, no plans or talking points and ultimately was a complete self-owned dagger at the heart of the movement they claimed to represent. What a joke!
