“Tell me something that will get you banned” Ummm… no.

I can tell you ‘about’ something that would. For instance, I would get banned for doxing you. The reason why I would get banned is that the information would be very valuable to someone that the forum is not interested in helping. Some banned conversation includes realities that explain what is going on in the world in a way that can greatly benefit a potential investor, or equivalently, greatly misguide them. Given that there is no way to discern between the two, both are banned.

I have one personal example that I am willing to share. I learned a tremendous amount of helpful information about birth practices and infant care from one of these ‘extreme free speech’ platforms. An example is cord clamping. The debate of this topic was extremely irreverent and ad-hominem, but it was easy to see that logic and objective results clearly favored one side, regardless of the civility with which this information was presented. Sadly, I don’t believe the information would have been effectively communicated in its most polite form, because it was clearly out there for all to see for a very long time without any improvement to common practice. The problem is that a reasonable person must ask why experts would ignore such information before accepting alternative possibilities, and this necessarily leads to a very dark rabbit-hole showing politically-incorrect evidence of extreme dysfunction within their profession. This became broadly applicable to me personally. My OB/GYN was objectively harmful to my baby, my pediatrician and nurses were wonderful, and this was all much less confusing given that understanding.
Antiseptics and antibiotics are both classes of antibacterials, but yes, antiseptics can be delivered intravenously. At that time, they may have used something like iodine, penicillin or even carbolic acid.
I actually added mine to my Microsoft account specifically because it made it easier/safer to move the license to a new installation (new hard drive, in my case). You just do a base installation with physical media, sign in, and you’re good to go.
C++ programmers where selectively implementing borrow checkers at runtime decades ago (see library omnetpp as an example). Moving those borrow checkers to compile time with templating is possible (but people did not do it because the borrow checking could be disabled after testing and no overhead would be paid neither at runtime nor compile time). That Rust implements borrow checking as pillar of the language I think it is great.
Gaining fortune through fame is a sucker's game. Those with real fortunes attempt to avoid fame because it costs way more than it brings in. Once you hit that point of requiring private security, suddenly you're locked in and you need to keep the money coming in (via your fame) to protect yourself from the risk (associated with your fame). Plus it breeds the worst sort of social habits and incentives if you gain fame early in your life. It's so easy for young girls (who are even mildly attractive) with poor parents to get roped into this thing. It's the same perverse incentives that cause prostitutes to get their own daughters into the "family business" (which happens more often than you think). What you get validation from in your teenage years has a huge impact on what you strive for / put your effort into. Do the right thing for your kids long term and invest in them instead of cashing in on them.
I killed my facebook account years ago, but back then you could write anything you wanted in a tag.
I did this sometimes as a kid. 28 now. I think they’ll grow out of it. Alternatively, you could try to encourage better habits around charging after they’re done playing.

Which creative medium they use I don’t think I care as much about. The reality is that screens aren’t going away. If they want to draw on an iPad, I’d allow it.
haha yeah, i've been conflicted about it since starting, and still am.

partly i have moved past the black and white moralization of it, into something that's more of a heuristic of minimization in order to guide me through the more grey parts of life. pets is a really really hard one for me, because i share your intuition, it's not kind to restrict their freedom, but i also enjoy that bond with them.

ultimately, i don't have a reason more than it's just one of the places in my life that brings me a lot of joy. my family and i can't have kids or a dog or anything, but i love having animals around. the bird feeders are another daily enjoyment of mine. the fish are really beautiful and i take the best care of them i can. there are very few of them in a quite large tank, but yes i also get a weird sad feeling while watching them pretty frequently...

thanks for asking though, it's a good thing to continually re-evaluate. i don't know if it's something that i can indulge in long term.
My neighbor has twin daughters and casually told me he “found out” they have a YouTube channel.

Approaching 1k subscribers… and they’re early middle school aged.

He asked what I thought and I talked about how I monitor the best I can any online interactions for my kids and a secret YouTube channel would be a no go for me.

He seemed conflicted on what to do, I’m still kinda horrified.
I've experienced all three. In my experience these things are important when you don't have them and unimportant when you do have them.
I am simple man with simple need, I am perfectly happy with a distro as long I have my editor my terminal and my browser.

I could not bear the snaps on ubuntu always coming back and hard to disable on every update, I gave up and just switched to arch and happy to have control on my system again.

I had a lot of crash running on Ubuntu when running huge rust based test suite doing a lot of IO (on btrfs), never had that issue on arch. not sure why, not sure how I can even debug it (full freeze, nothing in systemd logs) so I guess I just gave up.....
Antiseptic would just mean something like alcohol or iodine. Antiseptics became commonplace before antibiotics were discovered. (IOW, widespread acceptance of the germ theory of disease preceded discovery of antibiotics.)

I assume "injection" here is referring to something like a bulb syringe or pipette, neither of which pierce the skin but simply a way to extract and apply a liquid, e.g. antiseptic solution. Because presumably the tooth wounds were so deep, inserting the tip of the syringe into the open wound when applying could be described as injecting, especially in more florid prose.
I've very much enjoyed watching lions and cheetahs do their thing in Africa, but only the leopards fill me with awe whenever I see them. They are truly magnificent and fascinating creatures. Here's my favorite shot I took of a gorgeous young lady just outside the Sabi Sands game reserve in South Africa: http://www.skeptical.org/leopardrock.jpg
> You can’t just ask businesses to stop doing background checks and employ convicted felons and hope they will not embezzle funds from their new employer. The risk is too high.

No, you can't.

The problem is that the criminal history prevents employment for life, not just for the few years while someone is getting back on their feet after jail.

For example, when I was in college, my fraternity paid our cook cash. He (the cook) always seemed to have side-hustles or was picking up odd cooking jobs.

After I got to know him for a few years, he told me that he was convicted approximately 20 years prior for cocaine distribution. He implied that he had a lot when he was caught. Then he told me he couldn't get a normal job because of his record.

My point is that, after a certain period of time with no recidivism, (maybe 5 years,) the criminal record should not be a barrier to general employment.
Potentially a controversial opinion: if your company/organization begins offering non-fungible-tokens, then it has succumbed.

Perhaps there'll be claims that the decision was based on user demand, or partnership agreements, or technology trends: in my opinion, no, your group resilience has failed and there is no clearer sign of that in the digital age than making NFT offerings.

Nothing about NFTs that I was aware of after initially researching them led me to believe that they could lead to any improvements in economic stability, equity or opportunity, and nothing since then has changed my opinion on that at all.

Good luck, Salesforce.
It's not everyone's favorite answer, but LibreOffice works fine for me. I've set a number of documents with it (including my own resume) and it works perfectly fine. It's not the most intuitive program ever made, but it's nothing if not comprehensive.
ergot is a source for material required to synthesize a primary reactant used in production of a group of pharmaceuticals, one of them being LSD.

Singapore made a concession to allow Wrigley's sugar-free gum and nicotine gum when they entered into a free trade agreement with the US [1], but it's overpriced and rarely in stock at pharmacies.

rust has parametric polymorphism, it just calls it generics—and traits correspond to ocaml signatures. These aren't useful juxtapositions.
Out of curiosity and your story was interesting, I LinkedIn stalked you. You’ve had a long interesting career with a lot of overlapping jobs. Were you an independent contractor?
I guess I'd say "I" wouldn't exist if I was a bug.

I'm lucky that I exist at all, but on the other hand if I didn't exist I probably wouldn't know or care.

I guess without more information on what exactly not existing looks like in practice it's hard to say, though. I imagine some religious groups have a more precise answer they'd offer in terms of what not existing means.
it definitely should smile before/while driving into your legs as well as when standing waiting for you to walk around. It can also mark you with the laser pointer to indicate that it does sense you. Communication is the key.
Hum... Do I have an absolute shortcut to go to virtual desktop X, or only a relative one to go to the previous or next one?

On the first case animations aren't important, but on the second they are essential.
Could someone report on this and it not be “ article is simply monetizing the issue”?
They do in places.. just some city blocks are black holes. I don't know why. The blocks on every side of me have standard DSL and cable connections. I had multiple teams from Comcast, AT&T etc etc out here for surveys. Comcast initially stated it would cost me $68,000 to run a cable from the next block. Then they said that must be an error and sent another survey team out who came back and said yes, it was an error, the real cost would be $71,000.
Freedom also means the ability to live without having to suffer overbearing impacts from others. The blockade of Ottawa and the US/Canada border crossings are causing enormous economic impacts on both countries while in the midst of a global pandemic, rising inflation due to supply chain issues. Estimates of the financial impact of this "protest" are not definitive, but are likely in the billions of dollars and are affecting everyone in both countries.

You have the right to protest and make your opinion heard. But at the point that you are actively preventing ~25% of the international trade between two countries while further increasing both inflation and supply chain issues, your "protest" looks more like economic terrorism. Especially when only a small minority of people actually care--let alone support--your position.

To tie this back to the original thread: The author states "There are no other constitutional rights in substance without freedom to transact". But this protest is impacting other people's ability to transact. Therefore, by the same logic the author presents, this "protest" is impacting the freedoms of millions just because a couple of hundred people don't want to get vaccinated or get tested regularly.

The requirement that people crossing the border be vaccinated or have taken quick and painless test to prove that they are not carrying a virus that has claimed more than 5M lives in the past two year is NOT tyranny: it's an minor inconvenience.
This is exactly what the Schrems I/II rulings encapsulated: the Privacy Shield agreement was ruled invalid as any guarantees made on the privacy of European Citizens data transferred to the US were deemed to be fake. This has put a lot of cloud migrations on hold particularly for companies that are dealing with sensitive data, like banks and health care, but also retailers.

So it is approached from the consuming end for better or worse.
I haven’t heard that way of saying it but this is exactly what I was going to say only better :)
At least in the US one thing that has made this worse is universal cheap access to criminal background checks. That didn't used to exist, so a criminal background blocked access to jobs with big companies that could do background checks. But, you could get a job at smaller companies. That's gone now...a criminal background gets a "no" from almost everyone.

Other countries have a system where some government agency provides a "does this person have any past offenses relevant to this job?" service. Where they look at the type of job, any criminal history, and make sure the specific criminal history isn't an issue for the type of job being sought.
I have vacillated on whether or not I should write this comment. I am writing this because most of the comments are focused on the man's prose and prowess.

I am on the leopard's side here. Leopards, and most members of the Felidae (cat) family, are sentient, and we hunted some members of this family to near extinction because of accounts like these. Accounts that glorified the "adventure" of going into their habitats, killing their prey, and then shooting them with gun powder and a metal slug.

This man wasn't a scientist. He was a thrill seeker. One who killed sentient beings for amusement and then donated the carcasses to a museum.

If he was a scientist, quietly observing the fauna, and taking notes, I would have had no objections to him killing the leopard in self defense. Instead, he encroached on a sentient being's habitat + territory with hostile intentions. And was attacked for it. I do not wish him harm, but I feel more for the leopard than I do for him.

If you doubt that these are animals capable of joy, I'd suggest watching this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWuFoPguAlE

Of course, they're still wild animals and you should stay away, but they are sentient and should be treated with care.
I'm sure that plays a part, but I think the primary reason for the 5G push is better spectrum utilization. (And marketing is probably a close second.)
Exactly. I don't know why everyone including the big tech companies fell for the BLM grift so that they could scam their 'supporters' into taking the money and now running off with their donations which was used to buy properties, mansions, etc.

How could they be so gullible?
Yes, masters and 5 years generally requires at least a few dozen applications...even if there’s proficiency in the tech at hand. I think having years of experience at a tier 1 company is one of the few shortcuts.
I think that depends on one's specific definition of different worlds. I thought it was a reasonable expression since men and women have very different experiences which are pervasive in the culture.

For example, "going dutch" is getting more popular, but generally men are still expected to buy drinks or pay for dinner. Women have to be more careful about date rape than men. And so on.

The caisson technique is not new.
It's the reality of biology. You cannot avoid this.
All conscious beings would have a moment of why me? The fate of being "me" is to be head of line in a push down stack of proceeding "me" instances. All these stacks are stacks on stacks branching and growing.

The ant lies on another branch of this stack of stacks. It's that simple: nobody chose you to be you, you're head of line in a tree of consciousness and the ant is head of line in a different tree.

It's statistics and chance.

Hofstader writes about collective consciousness and ants either in GEB or a collection of essays edited by Daniel Dennett
And with those hundreds of databases, we’re only learning about this behavior now instead of any of the previous decades where abundant errors would have caused a conversation.

Doesn’t seem like an issue worthy of hundreds of HN comments and upvotes, just people raising a stink over a non-issue.
> Put it another way. You are a firm that needs steel as an input. You can buy identical steel for $1000/ton from supplier A, or $800/ton from supplier B, who saves on costs by locating their steel mill in a cheaper geographic area. Would you say, actually, that's not fair to supplier B, "same steel same price"? No, of course not.

I'd expect that you wouldn't go on buying $1000 steel from supplier A?

They have so little income with those sponsors and multiple times that expense and who is covering the cost?

The total income is like one guy's salary and is that all those big names are paying as sponsors?
This just pushed me 100% to Linux. I’ll not sign up for a Microsoft online account to use my local computer. Whoever thought this up at MS needs to be fired.
Even a simpler task like image classification such as: does the picture contain a lion.
Imagine you have 3d model of a lion. You can render it from lots of different angles, lighting conditions, backgrounds, stretched out, curled up, etc. You know the ground truth classification on all renderings is that the picture contains a lion, but being able to generate images of lions is a very different task from recognizing lions in images.
I guess I would not see the ads, since I would refuse the qr code option. I don't bring my phone into a restaurant.

In general I don't think I'd find a digital menu with ads all that much more objectionable than one without, I'm pretty desensitized to digital ads at this point.
The alert fatigue is _very real_; I have a dexcom and consistently see it:

- mis-calibrate (first day's readings are garbage after new sensor insert)

- UI on the app will sometimes mis-render by 10-15 minutes. On several occasions I have been watching the graph while dosing, didn't see any change whatsoever after 30/45 minutes, and gave more insulin because of that information. 5 seconds later the screen changes and displays 15 minutes of BG going steeply down as I would expect, but now I have 2x the dose in me -_-

While I'm swimming in sensor readings the actual impact on my treatment quality has been close to nil, but it does make the people around me feel better. I feel as if my ability to sense my own levels has worsened because I default to trusting the graph over how I feel.

Technically that isn’t your data it’s their data (or your friend’s data).

It’s definitely a gray area.
It's not a feature-complete solution, but a good 90% of the games you own will "just work" without any additional tinkering required. Some games (like Overwatch) are just straight-up smoother running through Wine/DXVK: https://youtu.be/voXc1nCD4IA

I don't love this move (I think people should still get the choice) bit do get it a bit more after doing IT support for the in-laws. My sister in law, who is not super tech savvy, has forgotten her password and also been prompted for the Bitlocker Recovery Key and called me on both occasions all upset.

Given she had signed in with a Microsoft account, we were able to get the password reset there as well as retrieve the key from there. If it was a local account then I imagine both would have been much harder. So for 'most people' it is probably a good thing.
at least in the case of reinforcement learning, no. just because you can simulate the problem doesn't mean you know how to optimally solve it - ex driving a car
This was inevitable to be honest. They've made it harder and harder to use a local only account, probably to drive the adoption rate of Microsoft account sign ins up so that they eventually can stay "no one uses local accounts any more". Give it a little more time and they'll require Microsoft accounts for everyone.

Only if you use the same account on both computers. What means the GP will have to use his work account on his personal computer just to jump into another machine.
I wanna believe that this is a fantastic piece of software. However it's really bad at describing what it does. As a software developer, I cannot find a high-level 2-5 sentence description of what GStreamer actually is/does on their website. I might just be blind, but this should really be on the home page above the fold. So many OSS projects fail at this :(
Sure, 10,000 people may sign up for that. But that's not relevant.

First, in revenue, that's $300MM. A lot of money, but doesn't seem to be a lot of money for the costs of running that number of Starships, let alone the building of them or R&D.

Second, if we assume 1% of people want to go into space, the 10,000 people would be out of the richest million people on earth. That is not the middle class. In fact, those million people will have more wealth than the entire world's middle class.
Presumably the value of remote work is not the same, then.
One way around this is for them to become contractors, consultants, and other businesses.
Properly, the government needs to fund the publication of speech by every citizen, so anyone can spend as much as Peter Thiel can
>All the same, you should be able to fit your thesis and list your key arguments in a couple of sentences.

Well luckily OP posted a "tl;dr" at the end. I agree it'll be better if it was at the front, but posting tl;drs at the end seems to be pretty common for whatever reason.
They also didn’t start treatment until 7 days post symptoms.
> Does any study ever suggest that a $0.10 drug with expired patents is better than the new and patented $30 alternative? If so which benevolent pharmaceutical company funds such studies?

I hear this a lot to explain the lack of studies. What about this one here though? Isn't this finally a conclusive study debunking all the claims saying Ivermectin alone is a good prevention/treatment for COVID-19?
The problem is that they have too few. The one I miss the most is "free for chat", but it'd be also nice to copy Teams with separate Busy and Do not disturb.
To your point of this technique not being new: the mulberry harbors the allies built following the d-day invasion of operation overlord made use of prefabricated sections code named phoenix, that were towed into place and then sunk to form the structure of the harbor. They were so named, I think, because after being built they were sunk off the coast of England before being refloated in preparation of the operation, i.e. like the phoenix the rose, or something poetic like that.

If you're ever in or around Normandy I highly recommend a visit to the beaches. They're much bigger than I had imagined, and it really hit home then what a massive operation it was.

Anyway – no, the technique is not new.
