> nothing is true until Western science has proven it as such

That’s not even remotely what I said.

First, true things are true even if no human has learned them.

Second, science is not just western. China, India, Japan, both Koreas all have their own space programs, for example.

Third, the west was nothing special until it started applying (proto-) scientific methods. Miasma, spontaneous generation, demonology, etc. were all common false beliefs that scientific investigation disabused.

Fouth, science doesn’t even try to prove anything true, all it tries to filter out falsehoods to a reasonable likelihood — “Does substance X have an effect?” a non-scientist may imagine a scientist doing some tests and “proving” it works, but the reality is closer to “Null hypothesis means it is indistinguishable from the absence, alternative hypothesis is that it is different from the absence, can we reasonably reject the null hypothesis with this quantity of evidence?”

This last one is key, and why the west isn’t e.g. trying to conquer literal Hell in the name of Jehova etc.
A damning analysis of how covid data and science is politicised by the CDC et al.

Here are some quotes from the article:

"this is not because much of the data has not existed. it’s simply being cloistered and hidden."

"they should open their full data to everyone. now.
they should have done this from the start."

"it is astounding that such statements could be leveled by by anyone, much less MIT, while thinking them a criticism."

"it has taken another 18 months for the “expert narrative” to finally catch up as their narratives became too threadbare to to stop the light any longer."

"left to its own devices, the credentialed class seeks primarily to protect itself from challenge, to retain tenure and status and we have seen such on vivid display lo these 2 long years."

--

Some quotes from the referenced NYT article:

"“We want better, faster data that can lead to decision making and actions at all levels of public health”"

fast decision making... that's not based in reality?

"“The C.D.C. is a political organization as much as it is a public health organization,” said Samuel Scarpino, managing director of pathogen surveillance at the Rockefeller Foundation’s Pandemic Prevention Institute."

"The agency has been reluctant to make those figures public, the official said, because they might be misinterpreted as the vaccines being ineffective."

'misinterpreted' or 'correctly interpreted'? Without the data, we can never know!

If by supported you mean that China as an ally of Russia won't object to what is currently happening and probably view the situation as profitable then yes certainly. If you mean somewhat masterminded the whole thing as a test then I highly doubt that's what's happening. Russia has its own agenda and ambitions.
It's not just that: of all the questions that might come up during development of an app built on react native, a big chunk won't be related to react native at all. Those questions won't be counted for react native in that metric. Flutter on the other hand is on the very far end of the batteries included spectrum, every question that might come up is tightly related to the fact that it's in the context of a flutter app.
That's not really what he said, the press twisted it a bit:

His point was: It's not about the "soil" but to split the eu....see the difference?
The one-child policy over many years was not only successful in stopping the population growth but also completely distorted the age structure of the population. So a large part of the Chinese population is going to retire in a few years leaving behind a comparatively small work force.
The presentation of your app is gorgeous, but I was unable to open the try pro free page on LineageOS (no Play Services installed). I was just curious about how monetization worked. It just shows an endless spinner, tried repeatedly and waited 30+ seconds

They mentioned how the sound of rain and white noise improves sleep quality, but throughout history humans lived and slept in tribes. In the spring there would have been sounds of waking babies, and in the warm summer night the sound of making babies.

I wonder if silence produces anxiety and poor sleep…a spring without babies should be a trigger for the tribe to take some sort of action.
Be aware that Fefe is very pro Russia and repeatedly stated that he thinks that Russia is defending itself against Western aggression. He also made fun of multiple people who said that Russia would invade.
> All this Ukraine stuff is also supported by China

Tolerated is a better word. There was ample ex ante evidence that the offensive was to be delayed until after the Olympics. And Russia being more beholden to Beijing as an energy supplier is certainly not bad.

But supporting separatism, in any form, isn’t great for Beijing. And China has relations with Ukraine. Huawei has contracts. And China buys Ukrainian weapons.

I would say a common problem with his attitude is that some people can become bored very quickly. Why give facts nobody asked? Why talk about those things if you are not an expert?

I really can't speak about Pranayama practice, but in general, just because something has been around for 1000s of years doesn't mean it has been improving. Ideas and practices associated with religion tend to be quite static, of the "do this ritual 3 times, not 2, not 4, the number shall be 3 times" variety. With a few exceptions, religions do not tend to encourage trial and error. And yes, I know Buddhism is one of the rare exceptions, at least as taught by the Gautama Buddha... even so, many Buddhist sects today are quite calcified and full of extraneous ritual; the main exception is Zen.

Win Hof claims he spent decades intensely practicing Yoga and refining his techniques. I don't know if that's true, but I absolutely can believe that in principle someone can improve on thousands of years old religious practices doing that.
I don’t trust the disk to write data. I trust it to report back when the data is written. If the disk confirms the write, I assume it won’t somehow lose that data if there’s a power loss shortly after confirmation. If the disk doesn’t confirm the write, all bets are off.

The problem is that disks are confirming writes before they actually store the write in the non volatile target.
I need this. But I'm not sure I'm willing to take the risk.

After a season of enjoying black and double black diamond runs on skis (including my favorite, 65cm short skis), I tried snowboarding. Never in my life of sports have I subjected myself to so many hard contacts as I did in my first few days of snowboarding. Day one I cracked my helmet.

Maybe it's a matter of environment. Fresh powder is like butter, and the board is a fat knife. But on packed or groomed runs, the slightest balance mistake, putting your back edge down inappropriately, result in a whiplash-like fall with nothing you can do but absorb with tailbone, wrists, and head.

Falling on skis is so different since you have control over your legs (even if the skis don't snap off). I've done accidental front flips on short skis and recovered. But on a board, once you lose control of it your feet are barely useful.

Part of me wants to try again, but part of me would rather take risks doing new interesting things (like hang gliding).

If you like skiing, try boarding. If you hate it, go back to skis and be happy. Just because you _could_ do it doesn't mean you have to :).

It’s also the same claim Western non-Han China could make about itself, or India could make about Tibet.

Don't know if directly related or something else but in cold I can think much more clearly, creative, and have "higher computational output". In heat my brain stops, I can't think clearly and all the ideas are "foggy".

I always had this personal and funny analogy in my mind of CPU thermal throttling where brain works more slowly in heat to prevent generating more heat.
As common as it is wrong.

Why is the constant screaming at me? Why is the fact that it's a constant important enough to be encoded in the styling of the letters, but not important enough to be encoded in the name. Why isn't the IDE or the compiler keeping track of the constantness of the variable and reminding me to not do the wrong thing? If they can and are, why am I not trusting them?
And if they can't, why am I writing in a language that doesn't even have JavaScript levels of a type system?

By far this is the easiest to predict, but least likely to be addressed (by the proponents) concern I have with UBI.

A social safety net shouldn’t be a hammock, as it is said. I’m concerned with AI and what happens when it’s pointless to hire people because a $100k robot can do the same work as 3 of them and do so 20 hours a day. By then UBI may be our answer. But it doesn’t seem so now.

And yet it's not China's claim over Taiwan (and the “speaking Russian” part is kind of difficult to transfer to China and Taiwan).
Sure you could heat with nuclear directly. Actually that sounds like something that should have been done when nuclear was in fashion. But you would have to produce a lot of new infrastructure and most of all, new nuclear plants. None of the existing nuclear plants is suitable for that.

And that is sure, while keeping the remaining nuclear power plants in service a little bit longer might be a consideration (though unlikely), investing in new nuclear infrastructure for sure isn't. There, renewables are the way to go.
Anecdotal data [on sample of one, me]: while I don't think I can warm myself with my mind, I clearly can ignore cold.

I feel it's cold, but it's not uncomfortable or painful for me. I'm doing this daily since hmm 10 or more years - walking in shorts, t-shirt, almost all year long (something longer if it's cold, cold meaning less than -15C or less than -3C and extremely windy). Similar story with rain - just get wet, it's fine. Hiking, running in one layer instead of 3 layers as most folks would do... It helps me with overheating which I tend to a lot. I have also a simple recipe if I'm actually feeling cold - just do whatever you do faster (your muscles generate a lot of heat as a by-product), no need for extra layers. Lately I also monitor my core body temperature when doing any kind of activities - definitely not getting cold inside even though I'm "underdressed" by popular opinion. (Note I'm also not a risk taker, so in extreme conditions I always have some backup layers with me, in case "do whatever you do faster" method could not be implemented anymore).

I wouldn't give anyone any advice out of this though, I'm not a medical professional.

Hey all, I’m an early team member at Acapela.

We’re building a tool for PMs that puts all work app notifications into a single inbox and makes them actionable. This puts an end to jumping between dozens of tools like Jira, Slack, Figma, etc. all the time and having notification overload.

How it works:

(1) Connect all tools; (2) Acapela pulls in all the notifications; (3) Sort, snooze, prioritize, create filters; (4) Deal with notifications right out of Acapela

Why we’re building it:

(1) One tool instead of dozens of open tabs; (2) No constant interruptions; (3) Sorting the important from the unimportant ones; (4) Focus on doing real work and becoming more efficient; (5) Reach “notification zero”

We’re now in a place where we can onboard the first users and, depending on their need, develop it further. I’d love to have your feedback and if you’re interested, onboard some of you as our early adopters.
In two words, rent seeking.
It would be more informative, but it’s much more difficult to estimate that. If you have a quick way to do it, feel free to add to the conversation.
You wonder how much the US contributed? I think Victoria Nuland said US spent a billion dollars in “aid” for the euromaodan. When Biden visited a few years ago, he sat at the head of the table. I think it shouldn’t be too hard to guess how much US has contributed here.
Work Units whose happiness is below 3.0 must attend mandatory 6:30 AM Joy Sessions.
The thing is that this system can be abused in either direction. To promote the candidate that the party leadership wants or to hijack the law and force an important delegate state to lose their influence.

Imagine if South Carolina was pushed to this one delegate system in 2020. Bernie Sanders was nearly the nominee and South Carolina began his death spiral. If South Carolina was taken out of play by activists in the state, then either the party would have to forgo its own rules or accept that Bernie would have continued his massive momentum coming out of Nevada.

Likewise if on Super Tuesday Buttigieg and Klobachar would not have dropped out at (supposedly) Obama's instance and backed Biden, then Bernie would have emerged much stronger. One way they could have blunted his momentum is if they saw polling early enough that Bernie was going to take a big state like California, we can't rule out the California machine pushing itself to lose the electoral votes in an effort to stop Bernie and then maybe change back its timeline after the election.
Putin and Xi see the comprehensive weakness of the Biden administration (it's as though projecting an image of weakness and incompetence was the administration's goal), and in that they see historic opportunity. Afghanistan proved their perceptions true.

Yes, I think Taiwan will be back in China's hands by the end of the year.
Let's make sure we are talking about the same thing. I don't mean the fleeting joy of a pop cycle on a hot summer day when you were twelve and the cutie you have a crush on smiled at you. I'm talking about a general disposition. A "happy person."

It is the way one looks at and approaches the problems and/or situations. You can choose to change how you approach the problem and you can choose what you find rewarding in that problem and the approach. You can also choose to focus on what you've yet to attain.

In our little parable here, the unhappy person is still unhappy that they have not yet found what they are looking for. We are getting terribly abstract now. But they could instead focus on what traction they have gained, they could "enjoy the art of the search," or whatever else they choose to put value on. But it comes down to what they value.

Talks and whole books are written on this and I wont be able to do them justice. This mental outlook thing extends to depression. See CBT, Congnitive Behavioral Therapy, which reduces depression by changing how you think about things. One could choose to apply those techniques.
How does that work? Are there weaker protections for foreign labor, or is it something startup-related?
Putin failed to create a diverse economy and instead relied on exporting natural resources (part of his "thesis" he wrote for the KGB studies), so this can hurt him. Germany, on the other hand, needs to diversify their oil and gas imports to gain more independence from Russia for geopolitical reasons, as the Russian government has just illustrated that they are dangerous and unreliable. So the step makes sense.

It doesn't suffice, though. The sanctions would have to be all-encompassing, similar to the ones that were imposed on Iran, in order to have a strong effect.
People tend to have an overly optimistic image of what it means to be neurotypical.

Neurotypical people are not the extremely successful, always-happy, super charismatic elite. That's the 99% percentile. They are as outliers as the most unhappy and miserable of the people.

Neurotypical is about the norm. If you have your set of problems but you don't need to take psychiatric drugs to deal with them, then you are neurotypical. And that's it.
>A square is a rectangle but ask the general public

While Japan may be a stretch, it is not an exaggeration that China has designs on the territorial waters of the Phillipines and Vietnam and currently lodges diplomatic protests when Koreans flaunt their traditional culture, revealing something that looks like an expectation of tribute.
The only reason gas is used for heating is the historical cheap price for gas. Gas line and gas infrastructure is actually a bit expensive and require additional maintenance compared to just running electrical lines between homes, and gas heaters are generally a bit more complex to install than electric heaters. The incentives to continue with gas heaters goes down when gas prices goes up, in similar way that the incentives for electric heaters will go down when the electricity prices goes up.

If we compare Sweden to Germany, almost no homes in Sweden has gas lines connected to them. Swedish homes use heated up water (central or communal heating), or just heat up the air. Sweden has a lot of nuclear and hydro so the electricity prices has historically been low, and importing gas would be expensive. There have been few incentives to spend money and government resources into the infrastructure needed for gas. Germany in contrast seems to have done the opposite, with historical low prices for gas (didn't the coal industry produce also produce gas in the past?), and fairly high prices for electricity. By now there is a pretty large sunk costs into gas infrastructures, and a switch to electric heating would be both expensive for the government and for individual home owners.

On the positive side, a massive investment towards electric heating would be a major boon for the environment. Leaks from natural gas is considered a major contributor for green house gases, and burning it also not very good.
According to the Wikipedia articles on the various pipelines, there is some technical readiness, at least 3%.

As of today, the only operational pipeline carries about 3% of what Gazprom exports to Europe. It may be possible to boost that quickly, and the pipeline will eventually have a capacity of 30-40% of the European exports.
