My personal albeit anecdotal evidence is that certain foods, or possibly too much sodium, can cause tinnitus. When I have tinnitus I drink a lot of water and reduce my sodium intake - I think that acesulfame postassium (NutraSweet) can cause it for me as well.

You might want to experiment with changing your diet, drinking more water, etc.
I'm curious then what people do when they leave AWS. Do they just not work for 18 months?
You may have identified some warranted stops. Congratulations! In my area, the vast majority of stop signs can be replaced by yield signs, to broad societal benefit.

How are intersections reduced? Closing them off with concrete blocks to create dead end streets? Creating more cul-de-sacs?

I certainly don't want a world where every residential street is a windy suburban-style affair that goes nowhere. That just entrenches car culture and makes it impossible to run efficient mass transit.
> 2) Is it really that much of a "public square"? Since only about 22% of USA adults are on Twitter; and 80 percent of the tweets come from 10 percent of users (thus 2.2% of the USA population.

That sounds pretty sizable to me. "Public Square" is an analogy to a physical space where people would gossip and politic, but that doesn't mean everyone in town engaged in it, and popularity isn't a new thing, it would always be the case that a small number of voices have outsized reach.
> Like, why are groups of cyclists going in rows of two or three in a narrow service road (40 to 50 mph speed limit).

At a guess, because going single file means that aggressive drivers will try blow past them, inches away, at 50 mph. So using the whole lane is much safer.

And depending on where you are, it's also legal. In California, if the road is too narrow to share safely, even a single bicyclist is allowed to take up the whole lane. [1]

> Or going the wrong way in a one-way?

Yes, these people are terrible.

Additionally, In Sweden, military duty is also required again since 2017 ( paused on 2010) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscription_in_Sweden

Actie personel is 24 k, reserve = 31.8 k and Paramilitary = 22 k. - https://www.globalfirepower.com/country-military-strength-de...

That's way more than 750 people too...

Where did you even get those numbers?
There are a lot of stop signs I've come across that should be yield signs. The main problem is that most Americans don't seem to understand how yield signs work (ie. when there is another car there first it's a stop sign for you).

If they could better train people, they could replace most stop signs with yield signs, and it would be better for bikes, cars, and the planet.
I don’t think it’s about peoples ability. It’s more that leadership roles select for psychopathic and greedy traits so you almost never get leaders with empathy. Most normal people would never run for president or do what Musk does. They are happy to live a peaceful life. So you pretty much inevitably end up with crazy people on top.
> Is there data that you've read on this to back up your claims?

There’s plenty of it. If you want to start from the pollution angle, consider the pollution caused by a stop/start rather than steady-speed cruise through the intersection. Enormous difference.
Google is notorious for treating their new hires an employees badly. It's not only a customer hostile company, it's also very hostile to its employees.
I usually just expect to drink booze and shoot the shit with my team. There are usually team building activities arranged by HR, that is another way get to know your teammates. In my opinion, getting a little inebriated is the fastest way to bond with your team.
That sums up non competes in Europe. Usually companies are required to pay 25%-75% of a former employee's salary in order to make a non compete clause enforceable.
In my European experience roundabouts are better for cars safety, worse for bicycle safety (cars are driven closer to bikes), use up more land, increment gas consumption (almost stop and then go vs just go). The latter point could be debated because it's worse for the cars on the main road, better for the ones on the small ones.
For what is worth the same happens in Romania and, judging by other people commenting in here, in most of Europe. Around my parts of the continent (Bucharest) a stop sign is in place only if you really, really need to stop for the safety of traffic (usually to ensure better visibility, you see the perpendicular traffic better while you're at a complete stop).

More exactly the "need to stop for ensuring safety" has come first, followed by the Stop sign itself, while in the US it looks like the Stop sign has come first, no matter the actual "neediness" related to traffic safety.
Will the new remote features allow sharing the same set of open buffers between multiple neovim windows in something like a tmux session? I don't want to see E325 ever again.
Personally, I hope Elon Musk buys Twitter and grinds all of the blue checks under a repressive heel, Leto II Atreides-style. When they are banned, I will reflect their "It's only censorship with the government does it *disingenuous look*" and "free speed doesn't mean freedom from consequences" and "it's a private company!" thought-terminating cliches back at them. I want them to feel "silenced" and mocked for complaining, until the value of what they have lost aches like a broken arm. They should be reminded of the disrespect they had for a document written, after all, by "dead white guys."

I often despair and wonder if people as a group tend to only function ethically when they are true underdogs.
Well, at least not until the Constitution is amended to remove that requirement. But it is not likely, I agree.
How Text Analysis Works
I'm happy to share my knowledge about text analysis with other people.

I've written my first post. A Guide to do Text Analysis using NLP: https://www.sentimento.io/blog/text-analysis#what-is-text-analysis

Text Analysis is the process of extracting insights out of unstructured text data. In simple terms, it's a way to get information out of text.
This blog post will guide you through the different things you need to know about it.

I hope you'll enjoy it Any feedback, thoughts and comments are really appreciated.
But do you or a future employer want to go to court over this?

Not having it in the first place is a way better solution.
IMO the most interesting thing is not so much that you can get DK from noise, it's that the Nuhfer study was utterly unable to replicate the DK effect. If DK is real, there should have been at least a hint of it visible in the Nuhfer study.
> For example, if you are a cyclist who has to stop at a red light and a car comes up that is turning right I know that sometimes creates a hairy situation if there is not a dedicated turn lane and the car might try to turn in front of you.

As a cyclist, in these scenarios I put my bike in the center of the lane ahead of the vehicle. That way there is zero uncertainty about who proceeds first.

Besides intersections, uncertainty between drivers and cyclists is the most dangerous thing to cyclists, IMO. Clear signaling and cycling behaviors that remove that uncertainty help a lot in my experience. (I'll even give vehicles hand signals when I cross intersections when _running_ just to make sure.) Eye contact is very important as well.
Is it market manipulation if he is ostensibly willing to follow through with the purchase if they were to accept?
It looks like they weren't just posting quotes. They often added some anti-liberal/anti-gender/etc quip. Lying in the title of an article critical of Twitter is a really bad look.

They hope AWS won't enforce it. If you aren't very important (L7+, senior management), and you don't work on the _same exact_ project at a competitor, Amazon will probably not attempt to enforce it. Is it right that Amazon are doing this? Hell, no: they're awful for doing this. But that's not even one of the top-five awful things they do to employees.

Talk to a lawyer or just say no. Whatever the lawyer costs you, it won't be as bad as getting yourself in a sticky situation because of the non compete. Or if you turn it down, you can definitely get a job elsewhere if you got an offer from amazon
An increase in the tax of the land reduces the purchase price of the land.

It's the exact same thing in reverse with interest rates over time. As mortgage interest rates drop, the monthly payment is what people look at, so home prices go up.
I used to bike to work daily in Manhattan for years—rain or shine for two hours or more daily.

Drivers really don’t want to hit you. It’s a headache even if the driver doesn’t get charged, and experience bears this out; it’s also not enough.

What kept me alive while weaving through traffic with zero incident was going on two facts: I’m much harder to spot than another car; I’m as good as dead if I put myself in certain split-second-decision situations.

So I biked assuming the cars don’t see me until I’m certain they did. Constant split second adjustments and verifying on my part.

It was one-part thrilling and one-part exhausting.

Based on this experience I see way too many cyclists making questionable choices.

The real option for the regular cyclists is to make separate, cyclist-friendly roads but there doesn’t seem to be any appetite for this; and there would be idiots riding with heavy, fully motorized bikes that police wouldn’t be able to catch.
For me ibuprofen (at recommend doses, reasons for use etc.) makes it worse/noticeable.

Acetaminophen doesn't have the same problem for me so I'm assuming it's not just that I'm clenching my jaw without noticing.
Stop signs often are placed mainly as a reaction to a tragedy, as a speed control device (neighborhood residents complain about speed, so the city lowers it, then they complain some more so the city installs more stop signs), or as a device to give police officers probably cause for stopping drivers.

Speed control devices should be used instead, such as using curbs to narrow the street at intersections to just one lane's width.
These folks know exactly what they're doing. I've worked with one of them -- he saw it as a plus that he's slowing down drivers and blocking traffic and would cycle in a way that made it impossible to pass him. He framed it as environmental activism.

It's the cyclist equivalent of rolling coal.
1) WaPo or The Atlantic are not so intimately involved in my life. I tweet on Twitter and send DMs and meet people, etc. I consider Twitter personally to be much more interactive and actively engaging than most news agencies.

2) fair point that not many people actually talk there. I wonder how many actually talk in a public square though. Probably a similar minority. The thing about Twitter is that it gets quoted in other media sources—TV, radio, print—anf the conversation doesn't stay just to those talking on Twitter. Yes that happens with NYT articles but Twitter amplifies so much conversation so that what gets spread on Twitter often finds its way to dinner tables.

Dumb RPGs are still very useful. Not every target is an armoured tank. An old RPG aimed at a fuel truck is very effective.
I'm grateful for this informative and well put together presentation, however, I am put off by the political undertones that crystallize towards the end.

Did the authors decide that 50% of England's and the USA's voters should be alienated simply because conservatives are a convenient scapegoat, or because they actually believe that only right-wing elements abuse data harvesting?

What is the point of using silhouettes of Donald Trump and Boris Johnson (https://contrachrome.com/comic/239/) when the majority of people reading this already know who the authors are implying? Is the intent for readers to say to themselves "ooh, I know who that is! I know a bad right-wing person that the media's been telling me about!" and feel smart about it? Why not just show their faces and just tell everyone up front what you really believe?

Is the goal to trigger right-wing reactionaries to start supporting Google and using Chrome? That could be the effect of this and it's very counterproductive to the arguments being made here. Unless that's what the authors wanted, then they should have left the politics out. Anyone with the technical literacy necessary to digest this can come to their own conclusion without this comic muddying the waters.
Living in Oakland (lower Rockridge), I completely agree with you, Rene. I'm encouraged by the common courtesy of drivers as well as bicyclists. On our street, there's a mix of cars, bicycles, scooters, skateboarders, and pedestrians. Cooperation, collaboration, and courtesy make for a happy street life.
Multiplying the saved cost by probability of a defeat (which is ineffective mentioned by writer) does not seem bad considering the grid is low-cost design.

But placing timer/accelerator in RPG as a backup plan for fusing in case the warhead is shortcircuited also seems low-cost. I must be missing something here.
The weirdest part for me is that there is no reliable way to tell if the crossing street also has a stop sign (at least in CA). After 5 years of living in the US I still get annoyed about it.
Moreover, few were willing to regard Twitter as a “de facto public square” when the cancel culture debates were raging. Then Twitter was merely a private company exercising its rights to moderate its platform… which I sympathize with, but also there’s a functional reason to enforce free speech in the public square, and at a certain scale social media is the public square and it’s probably better to protect the rights of the many at the expense of the owner. I suspect if Musk buys Twitter it will reveal some hypocrisy on both sides (some “free-speech” people will advocate for Musk’s right to moderate as he sees fit and other “private platform” people will advocate against moderation).

Of course, whether or not social is “a public square” is not well-defined.
Says a lot that the folks employed to be inside the tanks are reaching out for enhanced armor however they can.
Twitter Adopts Limited Duration Shareholder Rights Plan
The problem is that some people just don't feel safe riding on the street - and that's with good reason! I was riding in the bike lane probably going 25-30mph and was struck by a school bus who ran a stop sign. These drivers are supposed to be well trained.

These days, I almost always ride on the street but sometimes will cut over to the sidewalk in the case of a one lane bridge, dangerous intersection or a traffic jam. I always stop for red lights and usually wait for them to go green. In the case of rush hour traffic, there are certain intersections that are particularly dangerous. At these intersections, I often get cut off drivers who pass in the intersection and turn in front of me.

I've learned that stopping for the light and proceeding through mitigates these circumstances.

Well, MultiMC is open source so you can always disable the account check. I'm sure there's a patched fork already somewhere, however I'm not sure whether this is legal or not.

>Microsoft mines phone numbers

This seems to be more or less standard practice now. Happened to me with several companies. They let you sign up with just an email address, then after a few days or weeks they block your account because of "suspicious activity" and ask for a phone number. Very annoying.
> Do I work in software?

I sure do. Companies big and small. Some of them at one time offered free coffee but the bean counters took away that perk as a cost cutting measure.

The biggest thing, especially for engineers, know what you want and ask for it.

Would you feel the same if your child was killed at an intersection?

The biggest problem with driving in my opinion is that everyone is in a useless rush. Speeding, rolling through stop signs. Putting more wear on the vehicle, consuming more fuel, and adding more risk, all for the sake of getting home literally just a few minutes earlier. And once home what do most do? The same thing they were doing in the car: sitting on their ass.

Stugna-P, Javelin, and NLAW all kinda have the same properties. They're large, bulky, and filled with a LOT of explosives. They also have a guidance system: laser for Stugna-P, some kind of computer for NLAW/Javelin, so these weapons can be shot at 1000 meters to 5000 meters and still hit their targets consistently.

But since they're larger / heavier / more expensive, they are the primary-weapon of the soldier (or squad, in the case of Stugna-P). If you're equipped with one of these, your job is to kill tanks.

----------

Panzerfaust, AT4, RPG7 are variants of the same concept. They're more of a "sidearm" than anything. You don't really want to be facing down a tank with one. They are manually aimed and therefore only effective at 100m to 300m (depending on how good your aim is).

Because they're smaller warheads (84-caliber for the AT4, yes its a pun/joke), they're less effective at penetrating armor. So you really want to use them vs lighter vehicles, such as IFVs instead of proper tanks. If you need to use it against a tank, you should aim for a weak point, like shooting from above, or hitting the side/rear armor.

So your snipers / riflemen / machine gunners have a job, that's the 50-cal, or machine-gun. But what if they come across an enemy vehicle? Well, the AT4 / Panzerfaust are light enough to carry _WITH_ your other weapons. Its better than nothing, and light enough to be a secondary weapon.

Alternatively, maybe you're in an environment where hitting the weak top-armor is possible (ex: Urban / high-rise building in Kyiv). Giving many, many cheap AT4 weapons out to the crowd of defenders will effectively kill even main-battle-tanks, if they are attacked at the proper angles / from their weakpoints.
Twitter adopts poison pill in bid to thwart Elon Musk takeover
I’ve always wondered…

Do psychedelics cause mental illness or treat mental illness?

Our minds are so weird that I have a simple theory that we are all slightly insane in at least some small way.

But from what I have observed from friends who take them - they cause them to cope with troubles that are normally difficult to deal with.

I guess I’m not brave enough to try them to deal with my own troubles myself right now.
It's also the lowest-cost "something".

Installing speed control devices is expensive. Installing a sign is cheap.
Upwork works more like an auction than an agent. They don’t look after your best interests. Upwork doesn’t vet the buyers or sellers, instead relying on a reputation system that people learn how to game. I think it’s very hard to get a good rate on that platform because competition is always most fierce at the low end.

I’m sure it’s possible to make a decent living on Upwork but you would have to put a lot of effort into that.

Isn’t this what separates work from play?

Work is what you do in order to gain the resources necessary to play. Work is about using your energy/time to produce something that is more valuable to someone else than the value of the energy/time was to you. Play is about using yiur energy/time for what you want.

The person who grew the food that you eat also would love to do things that are more fun than farming, why did you make them farm to get your money instead of paying them to create art? If you aren’t willing to pay the farmer to do whatever they want, why would you expect someone else to pay you to do whatever you want?

If you want someone else to give you stuff/money that you want, you have to give them something they want in return.
"I don't recall much outrage over Amazon's Jeff Bezos, a billionaire, buying the Washington Post"

I do. Everyone from Jacobin Mag to Forbes was asking "Why?" and the implications. Was the tenor as furious as Musk with Twitter? Not really, but I'd argue the nature of the news cycle and the tenor of this purchase is quite different. Bezos wasn't known for endless attention grabbing then (and outside of the occasional messy divorce and space dick flight, still isn't now) and the purchase in appearance was very standard faire, albeit a little anxiety inducing for some folks for its implications.

Musk + Twitter on the other hand, follows a couple of years of Elon's post-Trump style endless attention-grabbing via constant performative jackassery/shitposting/sneering at rules of the "mere mortal" class, and includes his defective approach to following SEC rules, hostile takeover antics, etc.

So the "outrage" (and I'd argue it's less actual outrage and more exasperation at the perpetual circus) is a bit different in that respect.
I'm surprised the law already doesn't handle that case. In Minnesota cyclists are treated as normal vehicular traffic with a handful of exceptions, and one of those exceptions is that the cyclist cannot unnecessarily impede traffic flow. (The language of the Minnesota law as written was obviously written with the scenario you describe in mind.)
> I've never heard an anti stop sign opinion before. I don't know what to think.

It's literally how I learned to drive in Europe. They have right of way signs, not stop signs. You stop and wait if someone else has the right of way.
So either Twitter did not like the re-posting from LibsofTikTok which were about themselves and suspended them or they were not allowed to be too successful from using other people's posts and suspended them and admitted that was an accident.

The same thing happened to @DefiantLs [0] getting suspended by simply reposting screenshots of other people's tweets.

I find the UK's road sign for "National Speed Limit Applies" to be surely one of the worst designed road signs in history.

Much like your German example, it exists solely to tell you the speed limit has changed. Rather than put a number on a sign and be done with it, its an inexplicable white circle with a black line across it!

What is the "National Speed Limit" you ask? Again it depends on where you are, and even what you are driving. The only advantage I can think of is they don't need to replace these signs should the limits be changed...
