I don't know what undergraduate program you have gone through, but this is definitely second-year or third-year course material for most physics degrees in universities. Maybe if you've already taken lots of AP classes in high school then you might be able to skip some stuff, but we're talking about the standard curriculum here.

Normally, you first study the distinction between vectors (which can be expanded to tensors) and scalars in second-year Analytical Mechanics class. You also get a taste of tensors toward the later material in Electromagnetism (which is also probably second-year). And you finally arrive at a rigorous definition of tensors when you take Mathematical Physics (second-year or third-year depending on your skills).

The thing is, there are claims circulating that long Covid can develop weeks and months after a Covid infection, and even one that was mild or symptom-free.

I don't doubt that tissue damage from Covid isn't real; like people having loss of smell or heart trouble.

But there is considerable scaremongering around it which plays into the psychology of hypochondria.

A healthy dose of skepticism is needed here, and remembering where the burden of proof lies.

re: AirPlay speakers, if you really never want to use AirPlay you can apply a configuration profile that disables it entirely. These are the profiles that allow IT departments to enforce all sorts of policies on employee computers. You could use ProfileCreator to make one: https://github.com/ProfileCreator/ProfileCreator

Increasingly it feels like powerful configuration settings are only available via IT management profiles like these. I use one to enabling full system logging since that’s the only way.
And we still wonder why misinformation moves so much faster than truth. It has to be some kind of emotional thing. How many people just saw the headline, immediately decided it must be true, and will now be sure to mention it any time someone mentions AirTags in the future.

I doubt this is exactly a new phenomenon, but it sure seems surprising the human race has made it as far as we have successfully.
Substack is a pyramid scheme in terms of "payments" - I am sure they will start up a "search" for the newsletters and then paid advertisements.

To all the HN regulars here - own your medium instead. Own your content. There's no need to stick to yet another VC funded "writing experience". Many potential readers will eventually hit a subscription fatigue. There are several proven strategies to monetise your content (and Substack isn't one of them).

Data export, mailing lists, billing information all belong to a third party who charges you commission to "facilitate". I am sure that commission will increase down the line, and the net effect will be less and less.

Think before you leap into this.

The problem is not "U.S. midterm elections" but "Ukraine invasion 2022".

Part of the problem is that defining "relevance" is hard, and quickly descends into gray areas and morality. Russian disinformation about Ukraine is relevant in that it actually is content about the Ukraine invasion in 2022. But it's not relevant in that it's not facts about the Ukraine invasion in 2022.

Maybe there should be a button that lets users opt-out of "factual only" results to see the full uncensored internet, much like how there is a button that lets users opt-out of porn filters.

For that matter, we should have more filters, but users should be able to see what they are and opt out of them manually. Porn, violence, suspected "disinformation" and conspiracy theories, etc. I would love to have all of these turned off by default, but be able to re-enable them selectively.

Of course, that means you still have the problem where one organization (or a handful of organizations) gets to dictate what is considered "disinformation", but that's arguably a separate problem from not letting users control their experience.
Sure, but the rest of the post describes how they did a proper experiment.
Distros seem to be having a hard time updating glibc, and there are known vulnerabilities with the pinned version of most of them. Musl/Alpine doesn't have that problem, because it doesn't use glibc.

Ubuntu comes with snaps. If you don't use snaps, they are consuming a not insignificant portion of boot time. Use Debian if you need something glib-based. If you must use Ubuntu, make sure you are using slim: you don't need manpages etc. in a production container.

Overall boot time is affected by image size, because your cluster has to download that image from $SERVER. Alpine is smaller than most, scratch is even better (if you can pull it off). Building containers with Nix can result in stupidly small images.

Its not clear-cut, but hopefully that helps you make a choice.
I went through pretty much the exact same process several years ago, coming from the same place of deep C++ expertise. Rust has some cool stuff, but it also requires learning a ton of new practices, and C++ is getting better fast enough that it just doesn't seem worthwhile to switch.
When was Venezuela invaded?

In respect to Iran US has poor history as it relates to the Iranian Revolution, but with things as they currently are - do you believe Iran should be unopposed?

By the way, it’s not that I think people should ignore what happened 80 years ago, but at the same time I think it’s a long time, politics change and old conflicts are not as relevant as some like to argue. UK is not the colonial Britain, modern Germany and Japan are not the Axis of WW2.

Though Russia appears to be good ol’ scarecrow Russia, so I guess some things change and some stay the same…

And call me naive, but I am of the opinion that US of the last 30 years honestly tries to be on the right side of history and it’s not the hegemon real despots of the world try to paint it as.

And lastly Afghanistan - I mean you can argue with me I guess, but I think the 20 years and trillions spent can serve as an evidence that there US really tried to do something at least well intentioned.

I guess what I am trying to say that these days I hear a lot of “but look over there!” kind of argument, and they often even contain some truth to them, but I think they also contain a lot of differences that are overlooked to better serve the argument.

But even if they were exactly the same - you don’t justify an atrocity by pointing at another atrocity.

> The order will also require the settling defendants to provide consumers with an easy method to cancel their subscriptions and require them to get express, informed consent from consumers before signing them up for a recurring subscription plan.

If it is decided that cancellations weren't being reasonably "accepted", costing customers money, then why aren't all customers automatically due back the money that was unlawfully taken from them from the date they tried to cancel? If they didn't have express, informed consent from consumers before "signing them up" for a recurring subscription plan, how did a contract exist between them at all? Does this not mean that all money they took was fraudulent in these cases?

Because this is the problem. Cancellation usually takes place the moment you give them (or reasonably try to give them) notice of cancellation [whether they want to accept that or not]. You don't owe them any more money from that point, and if they say you do, then that should be considered fraud. Therefore they should automatically owe you any further money they took (whether by automatic payment or under duress by threat of hurting your credit record).

This seems like a thief has been caught, told not do it again, but is required to return only a fraction of goods they stole, and not even to the people they stole it from.
the problem is the stuff getting downranked is going to be the real information. the powerful people who control everything, including the news, are going to push propaganda and censor in whatever way makes themselves richer at the expense of everybody else, which is how they got to be in that position in the first place

>Most people only ever look at the first page of results when searching for answers, and, let's be honest, take those answers for the truth.

Do you? The argument I'm hearing is that most people are stupid and those stupid people aren't smart enough to know better, so the smart people need to control their lives to "protect them." I'm not sure if you realize this but this was the same argument used to perpetuate slavery.

Edit: Elaborated my argument.

Unless you were searching for anything recipe-related, in which case they will push results from their partner 'yummly'. Or if you were trying to get literal result from you search string, which it will apparently silently ignore if it doesn't find enough results.

Honestly, I'll dump DDG in a heartbeat whenever I find something even marginally better. Their only edge is the '!' syntax which I haven't yet bothered to find an independent solution for.

Here's a workaround which can be imposed by UN.

How might this work?

- Using Articles 5 and 6 of the UN Charter, Russia's membership in the UN and, in particular, in the Security Council, should be suspended.

- The UN Security Council could then approve the no-fly-zone according to Article 42 of the UN Charter.

- In accordance with Article 47 of the UN Charter, a Military Staff Committee is established.

- The newly created NFZ coalition is established, under Articles 45 and 49 of the UN Charter.

- The NFZ is designed in a way that can ensure the protection of Ukraine’s airspace and avoid the escalation of military activities on the territory of other states.

There are various ways to implement a no-fly-zone, including the exclusion of hostile aircraft within a clearly defined area. The only operations on the ground would be to suppress enemy air defenses posing a threat to allied aircraft.

The western media is not a monolith. Fox News was the primary source running the fake WMD story, and is the only mainstream outlet running pro Russian opinion pieces.

They're also foreign owned, and promote policies that would prevent people from voting, allow counts to be ignored.

I'm afraid it is all too real. Reality keeps happening regardless of whether it is click inducing or not! We should try to get handle on how serious the problem is, and what may be done about it. More science is coming in now.
It's not just you, we are horrible at teaching advanced math. However, the reason for it is that advanced math is, as far as we can tell, just really, really, really hard. It's not that mathematicians don't care about teaching others (they very much do, and they try their best to get their understanding across to others), or that Wikipedia authors are particularly bad at clear exposition (they are, if anything, above average). Quite simply, we know of no royal road to understanding mathematics, you have to put in many hours to bite it in very small pieces.

Here's an example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homology_(mathematics)

It has motivation, examples, and even actual numbers (though they're really just 0 and 1. most of the time). In my opinion, it's very good and clear exposition, for an encyclopedic article. However, I strongly suspect that people without enough mathematical knowledge (and "enough" in this case is something in the neighborhood of "enough to obtain an undergraduate degree in Mathematics") will simply not get anything about it beyond "it's about number of holes" (and that's not even remotely close to the whole picture: homology theories are important and useful in context of things with no "holes" to speak of). If you think otherwise, but not know what a quotient group is, you're just fooling yourself.

This is something I observe on HN a lot: people don't understand advanced mathematics, and are dumbfounded by the fact, trying to blame weird notation mathematicians insist on, or lack of motivation/examples/pictures etc. I never see people here do the same with advanced physics ("if the Standard Model is so standard, why can't they briefly and clearly describe what it is" is not something I ever see), molecular biology, or material science. People seem to know their limits and understand that really grokking these fields requires many years of deep study.

I think it's because many people on HN have good experience learning mathematics at school: it was something they always grasped really easily, and were easily able to figure out how to calculate derivatives, integrals, get matrices into normal forms etc. I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, because these things are still relatively difficult, and it does require more intellectual ability and effort that probably 3/4ths of the population aren't capable of. However, relative to advanced mathematics, undergraduate calculus is really rather trivial stuff.

Point is, if you don't understand modern advanced mathematics, you shouldn't get any more disappointed than you are about not being able to play violin. These things just don't come easy.

> I bet if you consider it in the light of your personal experience with people, you'll find it has merit.

In my experience, all people tend to gossip, like ann landers herself. If you disagree, try corporate america or a college campus.

> Welfare in America means free food, free housing, free medical care, and free education.

It means poverty. Section 8 housing and processed junk food mostly. It's better than homelessness and starvation, but far from ideal.

> With loving parents, that's what one needs.

Loving parents generally don't intentionally start their children's lives on welfare.

> I agree that an absent father is deleterious, though.

Certainly not something a good mother would intentionally do to their children.

Diet, and wisdom are hard to put in a sentence together with a straight face. It seems this area is fraught with misinformation and disinformation. We're told to eat small amounts regularly, were told to fast intermittently, we're told to avoid carbs and eat fats, avoid fat (OK that's old), calorie count, and calories don't really matter insulin does. It's very very confusing. Is the jury still out on this? is it too subjective? what is the reason that explains why if you ask 10 people you get 10 answers for what you should do to have a good diet and keep weight down?

Well, the farmers have lots of tanks for farm work now.
Back then, news was thought to be a counter to government. Government had its power and news told the truth about that power. This turned out to be an illusion and that illusion has been breaking down over the last 20 years, but it's very stubborn. I first remember it during the Clinton / Monica Lewinsky scandal. All the news outlets chose to ignore it. Drudge ended up getting the scoop at which point the news had to cover it. If it weren't for Drudge, it might not have ever come out. This was what, 1996?

There isn't much in the way of alternatives either. When they do pop up, they are coincidentally labeled as "misinformation," and censored.

I don't think people know what they want when they buy a car. Manufacturers sell turd crossovers like the Equinox or Highlander in high numbers. Most of them aren't even AWD, and the ones that are AWD have shit systems in them that are barely capable in light snow and rain. They literally have no redeeming qualities, and somehow they fly off the showroom floors.
"The other interesting thing about studying Stalin is that very few people liked him enough to hide his dirty laundry after he died."

I think that comes naturally, if everyone important around him, had to fear for their life for years. One wrong look, or just one bad mood of the great leader - and someone gone again. They never knew what to expect, when being summoned, praise or prison - and that was intentional. Absolute power. Reign of terror. And always in paranoid fear, of a plot against the great leader.

I think there was a great relief in the inner circles, with his death.

> They won’t down-rank American disinformation from sources they trust or sources they favor.

Nobody suppresses a source that they trust. Of course search engines don't downrank sources that they think are trustworthy. Why would they? There's also nothing specific to America about that, DDG also doesn't suppress foreign news sources that it personally trusts as accurate, because... they're sources they trust.

That sentence is a frankly kind of impressive effort to rephrase a critique that is essentially, "I disagree with their decisions, and I think the sources they trust aren't actually trustworthy" as some kind of much broader general criticism, like search engines are bad for not making editorial/ranking decisions that are the opposite of what they think are the correct editorial/ranking decisions to make.
