Who made the determination that visiting the site is "stealing"? Most sites don't forbid ad blockers in their terms of service, and even if they did, it probably wouldn't be legally enforceable.

These comics unfortunately both highlight the need for toxicity and dissenting opinions.

In the first, moon landing conspiracists have come out with great suspicious findings including the fact that the "moon rock" given to the dutch is actually just a peice of petrified wood [1]. Given the political need to appear more technologically advanced during the cold war its a very real possibility. I'm not saying the moon landings were fake, but to quash any disagreement if the intent is to be as truthful as possible would be a mistake.

In the second, the user gets valuable feedback that he's a moron, which he would not if he were censored. He would only dive deeper into anger if he found out he was silenced.

>HIV mutates so easily. I understand the basics behind how mRNA vaccines are generated, but I don't understand why this approach would be expected to have any more success in evading the high mutation potential of HIV than other vaccine types.

you buy not an mRNA vaccine shot, you buy subscription. We already getting a preview of it with the 3rd, 4th, ... Covid boosters. Allowing for cheap and fast vaccine development the mRNA tech is changing the business of vaccination. Add to that that in near future you'll be able to get personally customized mRNA vaccine. You'll just be getting your monthly/weekly vaccine subscription box. And why limit to vaccines? The mRNA can make your cells produce any protein. Imagine a subscription business possible here.

If you've never dealt with a language similar to Haskell, I think the learning curve is very steep. But it was one of the most worthwhile things I did in my programming life.

Or not, because now I'm stuck with a view of how the world could be, which at least in my professional work life is pretty much out of reach. (Might be different for everyone individually.)

"European" or "asian" seems to be as big of a monolith than native american and yet it's a convenient term and in many cases it's not offensive.

I don't see why "native american" has to be euro-centric. They are the people that were living before the europeans (and middle-eastern, asians and africans) arrived. Those are also american now (as in: they are now citizens of a nation in the american continent), but I think we can distinguish the original population as "native".

On the other hand I (personally, as a mixed race native american, I know other people don't mind) quite dislike the term "indian" as it stems from a confusion that europeans had many centuries ago...and somehow they haven't bothered to correct it?

> the author decided to fill in some gaps by just making stuff up

I think you are being too harsh on the author. While it's true that deer and moose are commonly found in the same areas today, on an evolutionary timescale this is a fairly recent phenomenon. Being taller, moose can handle significantly deeper snow than deer without foundering. And when it comes to really extreme cold, they are indeed better insulated.

In the part of Vermont where I am, we don't get cold enough to faze the deer, but sometimes the snow gets too deep for them. Right now we have about a foot on the ground, and I saw tracks from both while out skiing today. But once the snow gets to 2 ft or more, the (surviving) deer will move to somewhere lower elevation but the moose can usually remain for the rest of the winter.

> Canada (the entirety of which is north and colder/snowier than MN)

Umm, no. Most coastal Canadian areas are much warmer in winter than Minnesota, and Hamilton ON is farther south than the bottom of Minnesota. As a trivia fact, did you know the southernmost part of Canada is actually south of the California/Oregon border? https://proudgeek.wordpress.com/2009/03/04/strange-maps-cana...

Anyway, I think the article isn't actually that bad, and while the author might have oversimplified, I don't think she's making things up. In her defense, here's an earlier piece that talks more about the moose/deer traditional habitats:

So why have moose never developed a tolerance for brainworm, as have deer? The answer lies in the fact that moose and deer haven’t shared the same habitat for very long, in evolutionary terms.

The Latin name for white-tailed deer is Odocoileus virginianus, or Virginia deer. It is exclusively an American species that first appeared in the southernmost part of North America some four million years ago. As recently as 15,000 years ago, whitetails were confined to the southern end of their present range by the continental ice sheet and didn’t return to northern areas until the glaciers receded.

Moose by contrast are a sub-arctic and boreal species with their origins in Asia. They are a relatively recent immigrant to North America, arriving during the same ice age, when a land bridge opened between Siberia and Alaska. Moose crossed east just before the time that deer started returning north.

https://northernwoodlands.org/outside_story/article/moose-su....

And here's one of the scientific papers on which the popular articles are based:

ABSTRACT: Declines in moose (Alces alces) populations have occurred repeatedly during the past century on the southern fringe of moose range in central and eastern North America, generally in the same geo-climatic regions. These prolonged declines, occurring over a number of years, are associated with higher than usual numbers of co-habiting white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus).

> It's interesting to see this touch a nerve so intensely, I think it's really exposing the lies people tell themselves to cope with a reality that isn't really internally consistent and that's why there's such a strong reaction.

I'm not telling my self any lies. I deeply believe that my computer is my private property and I get full control over what executes on it. If you think otherwise you're delusional.

I want to control what runs on my computer because by not doing so I run the risk of allowing something malicious to execute and thus I suffer long term, and perhaps others directly connected to me also suffer. I want to prevent that and I do so by stopping JavaScript from running automatically in my browser.

I use uBlock for the same reason: I want to block elements from running on a website that aren't directly associated with the content I asked for. If after visiting the website it comes to light that the webmasters are actually only showing genuinely good adverts that are ethically and morally rendered (i.e. they're not using abusive practices), then I can choose to either whitelist that website or stop accessing it.

I get to choose who does what with my computer.
Well, we don't live in the imperial hegemony of the Spanish empire, let alone the Aztec. We live in the imperial hegemony of the United States. The imperial power that is still violating treaties, sterilizing natives, and maintaining "reservations".

It's also kind of gross that westerners need to equate every state with their specific settler-colonial ones. All of those "colonialist languages" co-existed for hundreds of years and were only endangered by the introduction of European settlers. The wholesale liquidation of entire cultures was something uniquely western, and as a consequence the only languages I have left to describe the crime are those belonging to the criminals that did it. In 100 years the Aztecs did not do what the Spanish did in a decade. I'm sure you'll say the Aztecs simply lacked the means, but then you're comparing them to an actual settler-colonial empire.

You say Aztecs were an unpleasant bunch and that's why other tribes helped the Spanish, but as I remember it the conquistadores were welcomed as Gods in Tenochtitlán. Doesn't seem like a very unpleasant welcome, the reward for which was razing the city and killing millions. Seems to me like the other tribes might have helped the Spanish because they knew which way the wind was blowing? Or maybe they also viewed them as gods. Can you ask them how they felt about the Spanish once the Aztecs were gone and the conquistadores enslaved everyone, mutilating people for not mining enough silver?

It’s kind of telling why people need the victims of genocide to have somehow “earned” it, either from being “weaker” or “just as bad”. I choose to not minimize the slaughter of around 100 million indigenous Americans in the "New World". There is no justification for it nor was there precedent.

"As for what we were like before we met you, I no longer care. No periods of time over which my ancestors held sway, no documentation of complex civilizations, is any comfort to me. Even if I really came from people who were living like monkeys in trees, it was better to be that than what happened to me, what I became after I met you."

Sounds like a modern corollary of wondering which half of one's ad dollars are being wasted.
My understanding is the bugginess is due to* unintended* nondeterminism, in other words, things like a race condition where two threads write some result to the same memory address, or singularities/epsilon error in floating point calculations leading to diverging results.

Make no bones about it, these are programming faults. There's no reason why distributed, long-running models can't produce convergent results with a high degree of determinism given the input state. But this takes some amount of care and attention.

> So you might want to change the seed on every run to protect yourself from such nasty phantom effects.

That's a perfect example of what I mean where a seed is actually worse. If you know you can't control determinism, then you might as well go for the opposite: ensure your randomness is high quality enough such that it approximates a perfect uniform distribution. Adding a seed here means you are more likely to capture the true distribution of the output.

Government bureaucrats aren't really providing any vital service to be honest. I understand the doctor thing though. Why would anyone want to bust their ass in medical school in order to live in hospitals if they can make more money writing software instead? Health care workers are losing value fast in Brazil and quality is going to drop.

There's this notion that doctors are well paid but they're not. It's just that every other profession is incredibly undervalued and should be paid more.

I got some sandbags (one 12.5kg and another 22kg) and they have been really fun to use. Unlike dumbbells that can be grabbed in only so many ways, sandbags have a bunch of different handles on them allowing one to do bicep curls, bent-over rows, squats, military presses, deadlifts, etc. What I also really like about them is that, unlike dumbbells, they are soft and won't dent your floor or make much noise if dropped. Resistance bands, a pull-up bar, and TRX-like suspension systems are great options too, but I find the sandbags more fun and versatile.

But while strength training is great for maintaining muscle tone, I find that in small quantities (below the point of breaking a sweat) it doesn't quite offset that feeling of sluggishness in the body after a long day of sitting. Jump-rope, jogging, and biking are nice because they get your heart really going. But best of all is rowing because it's a full-body, low-impact-on-joints activity with a wide range of motion, and you can vary the intensity easily by adjusting your amplitude and strokes per minute.

> A casino is entirely a creature of government. It's regulated into existence,

Gambling establishments have existed in some of the places with the weakest governments around. They are not regulated into existence, and are often regulated out of existence.

It's true large casinos are often a consequence of both regulating them out of existence in neighboring areas and creating a high regulatory bar to opening one in the area in question, which minimizes competition. But that's not regulating casinos into existence, it's upregulating size by downregulating number.
Interesting, it sounds like they took antibodies from patients who were vaccinated and test them against a virus with some given mutation. Theoretically, if the immune system detects and responds to the mutated virus in the same way as with the non-mutant, the immunity should provide good protection.

Testing a drug that is meant to act at a specific target to elicit response is a little different when considering in vitro studies. Usually there will be some tissue sample, such as lung tissue, which is infected with a virus. These infected samples are then tested with varying concentrations of the drug in question, but what makes the usual difference when moving to in vivo is primarily Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion (ADME). This changes how much of the drug and in what form gets to the target tissue, for example it could be run through first pass metabolism which may add or remove functional groups or break the compound down in some other way. This can change how much drug reaches the target, on top of the usual distribution mechanics that may prevent the drug from reaching some tissues at all.

Immunology isn't quite my field, so my understanding of the mechanics there are a bit lacking. The immune system is quite a bit different mechanically than drug distribution.
We do, they are called laws.
It's totally legal, in New York. I doubt that it covers interviewing expenses. I think it only covers stuff that happened after they signed the offer.

And I really don't appreciate being dinged for the actions of my corporation. I was not involved at all in that part of things, and only heard about it afterwards. I had many disagreements with our HR department, which could be rapacious. However, it was run by highly skilled and experienced lawyers, and everything they did was legal (if not always what I considered ethical; but I have high ethical standards).
I think one of the steps in that arbitrage would require carrying suitcases full of cash over a border, which may not be so easy.

Huh? Linux is free. You can stick it on every laptop with just a USB stick.

I also have no idea how this is related to the fact that almost no actual consumers are taking advantage of GPL code to continue to maintain their products beyond support offered by their developers. If anything, this would be evidence that GPL software isn't a panacea since doing something as basic as installing Linux is far beyond the capacity of most consumers.

I think following happens. Actual click through rate on online ads is low. People don't want to pay lots of money for ads that don't increase their revenue.

Only ones willing to pay for ads are shady business. We are talking unlicensed pills, scams, crypto etc.

Eventually those dry up so they go even lower, malware authors willing to use ads as malware vectors.

The thing to do here is: Sort by rising price, note the SoC names, look them up on their respective "linux mainline kernel port progress page" (links below), and then look in the vendor sub-folders of the mainline linux Hardware compatibility list (https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/arch/arm64/boo... /vendorname/) to look for the DTS of the ODM name of the board.

Then you'll need to just figure out a way to bootstrap-boot/install Debian bullseye (ideally with the 5.15 currently in backports) on that board. Just look on the Armbian site for instructions for devices with the same SoC for that.

I have several of each of these bought over the last few years running Bullseye:

Allwinner (sunxi): https://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort

Amlogic (meson): https://linux-meson.com/hardware.html#support-matrix

Rockchip: http://opensource.rock-chips.com/wiki_Status_Matrix

Similar pages can be found with "MySocName linux kernel mainline port progress" for other SoCs, if the board/family is worth considering.

Depending on your exact needs make sure to get a board with USB3, GE, (supported) Wifi/BT, (well(-ish)) supported GPU.

Just make sure, you get the final boot configuration right, or you'll start over ;)

Absolutely, we should not hold back in punishing people who are threatening violence against others, or otherwise try to get other people to commit acts of violence.

But that someone tweeting “the only good Brit soldier is a deed one, burn auld fella buuuuurn” is guilty of anything besides being lame, is beyond what I can understand. It seems like this is about something more than just being "grossly offensive", did this somehow make someone in the military upset or something? Surely it can't be illegal to be offensive now can it?

> The 72-year-old [Janet Hunter Jess], whose family served in the armed forces, said: “To see someone wishing British soldiers dead, it still hurts me. It still hurts me that anybody would disrespect someone that had given their live for the country.”

> Ms Jeffrey, 51, stated: “First of all, the gentleman in question had done so much to raise awareness and funds for the NHS in England and became a bit of a national hero at the time, but then the fact it referred to British soldiers as well.

It seems indeed this is more about that people in the military, or related to those with people in the military, was offended by the tweet.

I wonder if the irony around that this fellow fought in the second world war for freedom of speech for everyone is hitting any of these people offended at the tweet.

You do realize that I didn't put up those benchmarks and wrote the article way back in 2017 just so that I can pick on a passage in this article? I was (and still am to a degree) excited about WASM, actually ported a significant chunk of my business logic from JS to C++ only to discover that the whole thing offered only ~20% performance boost, which didn't merit maintaining a whole separate toolchain. I'm not questioning the exciting results that Figma and such achieve, I'm saying that it's not "almost always" a case, and it's disingenuous to present it as such.
