> when a position gets converted into a four letter noun to shout at people it's definitely intended to offend

Would you say that Bernie Sanders should feel offended when he is called a socialist by Ron Paul? Ron Paul definitely means it as an insult - to him socialism is abhorrent. But Bernie Sanders is, in fact, a socialist (well, a social democrat would probably be a better description, but it's close enough), and he has no reason to feel offended that he is being called something that Ron Paul finds offensive.

> if a term is pretty much exclusively applied to an outgroup by people who really don't like that outgroup (and the acronym itself is pretty much exclusively pejorative) there's a pretty good case for it being offensive

I can agree with this to some extent, but only if there is a better common word to describe that group, and one that is not self aggrandizing or overly obscure. How would you call TERFs, or what would you say describes, say, JK Rowling's position on trans rights in one word?

I have heard "gender critical" thrown around, but that seems just a way to obscure their beliefs, it's a meaningless combination of words in itself. At face value, it could easily describe some postmodernists who believe the whole notion of gender is a fantasy that should be abolished. It could describe non-binary people.

This only works for utility apps which are really the minority of apps that users install. There is only one app to access my bank account, there is only one app to stream netflix on, there is only one app to access government services on.

Outside of flashlight and QR scanner apps, there is basically nothing the user can action aside from completely rejecting the wider service over some ambiguity in the permissions list.
Until Windows drops 32-bit compatibility, VB6 apps will continue to run fine even if they do look f'ugly against todays UI design. In fact there's probably still a significant amount of industrial/heavy-commercial in-house applications written in VB still in use.

I can see a use case for TwinBASIC in maintaining these legacy apps, as the VB6 IDE no longer behaves itself under Windows 10/11. If it offers compilation to 64-bit (pseudo)code, then these apps will gain an extension on their usable life.
If they're not going to buy a sub either way, what's the downside of letting them test it, and then perhaps telling their friends about it?

> If I were American I'd:

> a) start saying "t" in the middle of a word as a "t" instead of a "d"

Americans do not have a distinction between intervocalic /t/ and intervocalic /d/. (Though you have to be careful - that analysis requires you to commit to a "syllabic /n/" model of words like "kitten".)

But while /t/ and /d/ are pronounced identically in that context, you can't say that /t/ is being pronounced "as /d/". They are both flapped, which is a sound just as distinct from [d] as it is from [t].
F-droid has one big anti feature itself: it tries to trick you to download their store app when all you want is to get the APK.

Read further:

> To give users more control over their files and to limit file clutter, apps that target Android 10 (API level 29) and higher are given scoped access into external storage, or scoped storage, by default. Such apps have access only to the app-specific directory on external storage, as well as specific types of media that the app has created.

If you really want to get into the weeds, previously you could work around scoped content requirements with the manifest property "requestLegacyExternalStorage"

But it's not respected if your app targets the latest version of Android, and new uploads have to target a recent enough version that the loophole is closed.

Legacy apps will be unaffected though.

I think it is as much as where you consume it. Supermarket prices for alcohol have increased but no where nearly as much as in pubs and bars. So the drinking is happening somewhere else and not in pubs.

The increase in prices can probably mostly be laid on product cost and business rates. This is also being reflected in other retail sectors. There are many store closures in both the high street and in out of town retail parks.
If you meant to write "where", you could check out https://flippa.com/ or https://microacquire.com/
I’m gonna assume you find it fairly easy, and also very pleasurable, to get some exercise. Many people find anything physical as fun and rewarding. Perhaps they don’t need to worry about optimizing their workouts to the core.

But then there are others, me included, who have a lifelong love hate (mostly hate) relationship with exercise. I’ve exercised moderately at least every alternate days for most of my adult years (for a few, I worked out quite religiously every day even), but not a single day did I find it rewarding.

If science can help me find the most effective way I could utilize the few times (and the short periods) I do muster the motivation to work out, I’m happy for it.

So in your analogy, it’s not premature optimization for many, especially the ones that need the most.
You may understand AI but you certainly demonstrate little understanding of basic economics.
Thanks very much. Will test it out.
Step 1 should be “every health plan is a high deductible health plan.”

Step 2 should be “Absolute price transparency.”

We need to make patients cost-sensitive. It’s utterly ridiculous that there’s a pill to treat low testosterone that’s $1,000 a month when a weekly injection costs $20 a month. Sure, taking a pill is easier and less painful. 99.9% of people would still choose the needle if they actually had to pay for it - and that would mean the manufacturer of the pills would have to lower the cost.

The same thing goes for many other medications and treatments. Why bother trying to price out that MRI if you’re hitting your deductible either way? Not like they’d tell you the cost up front anyways.
Couldn't agree more.

There doesn't need to some mathematical proof or nobel prize winning study, because... well, the proof is in the pudding if you look at athletes.

Most people are not doing the basics, but by doing some form of exercise often and consistently. Eat a nutritious meal, don't binge on junk food and sleep well. People love to complicate and over engineer the situation by diving into everything 100% when they have a 'I'm going to lose weight' mindset. Weight loss takes a while and you might need to be a little hungry at times to lose weight.

Just don't expect exercise to be the one reason you will lose weight, the largest reason will be your diet. As the old saying goes, you can't outrun a poor diet.

Someone else can probably give the technical details but from my understanding, all but the most primitive NFC cards use a challenge/response system rather than just an ID. So there is no way to actually clone the secret stored internally as this is never transmitted.

This has become quite a bizarre conversation. You seem utterly unwilling to believe that you can meet a healthy person on the internet, and even if you did, you assume it's purely genetic.

You've sent me the distribution of lipids across all age groups, done for research purposes. In clinic you rarely test anyone in those younger age groups for lipids as screening starts at 40 for men and 50 for women. So, you know, you don't see results for 20 year olds in clinic, and if you do see those results for younger people it's because they have some pretty extreme risk factors like morbid obesity. Are you ordering lipids on healthy 20 year olds?

Interesting to see that even against the youngest age group, my triglycerides are low enough to be in the 5th percentile, HDL is above 95%, and LDL below 10th percentile. Total cholesterol was 4.40 so my ratio is 2.2, which is far below average for risk. My HDL was better than 95% of Dutch teenagers and my triglycerides were better than 90% of 20-somethings.
Sounds cool, unfortunately it segfaults for me on an M1 mac.
Here's a real and recent news article about how potential risks and opportunities are being explored regarding electric vehicles and the grid [1]. It basically says they're looking into stuff and working on it. Neither doom and gloom, nor the future is now.

Just like the grid adapted to the growing use of HVAC, it will have to adapt to the growing use of electric cars.

> The simplest definition of property might be use rights one doesn’t need to use violence to defend.

For something to be property entails all of:

- usus: the right to use it;

- fructus: the right to profit or otherwise benefit from it; and

- abusus: the right to destroy it, alter it, or otherwise exclude others from it

Abusus is in and of itself violence (specifically, theft) unless consented to by all other members of society. By "use rights" you might be thinking of something like usufruct, which is distinct from property and (as you correctly assess) does not necessarily entail violence or the monopolization thereof.

> Countries don’t have property.

Of course they do: their sovereign territory. It is indeed that property, enforced via a country's / nation-state's monopoly on violence - from which all land ownership derives (hence: that piece of paper called a "deed" that would be useful only as kindling or sanitary napkins if not for the state enforcing it).

No. That's all done in a factory off-site, so I didn't consider it as part of the deployment. I'd argue that scaling a (centralised) factory is easier that scaling deployment.

According to Google 178 GW of solar modules was produced in 2020, which is 487 MW/day and capacity is growing exponentially, so production of modules probably won't be a bottleneck going forward.
Probably a naive question, but why is EMR still so atrocious? I know there's a lot of garbage software out there, esp when it's single-purpose. But I usually assume that's a combination of low returns to better UI and little money to optimize (eg software improvements that make waiters marginally more efficient).

By contrast, supply of doctor-minutes is a chronic bottleneck in a system that spends trillions. I know healthcare (esp in the US) is full of wonky incentives, but surely improving doctor productivity is connected to hospital outcomes in some straightforward way?

They charge less because those countries would simply go “no, we’re not going to offer that drug for that price” if the manufacturers ask for too much.

If insurers did that here people would be upset, and with their revenue tied to how much they pay out they don’t have much of a reason to.

All that leads to them making up the difference in the US market.

In 1960 if you had a heart attack and collapsed in a mall things weren't going to go well. Today you'll get CPR from a bystander, an AED shock from an EMT, stenting in an interventional radiology lab, and statins to reduce cardiac risk. All of this adds cost but can add a few decades of life.
Sorry but you are misinformed about health insurance in the US. All health insurance plans in the US are required to have a yearly out-of-pocket maximum — for example $10k for each individual — so while your healthcare costs can skyrocket to the moon at least you won't be liable for it.

Stimulants make you better than baseline on some tasks, but definitely not all of them, and not all creative ones. (Especially if you lose out on sleep or your teeth start falling out from abusing them.)

It's usually pretty obvious if you have ADD, and it's not "you're bad at your job", it's more like "everything outside your job is falling apart". Your job provides enough stress to concentrate on it most of the time.

Adderall also doesn't make you "more stimulated" like caffeine does - a regular psychiatric dose should make you a little calmer, since your life isn't falling apart anymore.
> the difference in my thinking styles is noticeable. Not only to me, but to my friends by the way I speak and in my personality

I agree that's a real effect. (I think a big part of it is the people around you, too.) I'm pointing out that there are some people in this world whose thinking is not like the rest, and there's no amount of environmental difference that can explain or erase it.

> This leads me to the "chicken and the egg" question. So often people look at coding as an acquisitionable ability, where as they view creative ability as something you have to be born with, discounting the years if effort that goes into those abilities. Be they cooking, painting, writing, what have you.

I also completely agree with this. I think that even if not everyone can be the "Michael Jordan of creativity" (okay, there's a better example... just, my own creativity, you know...), it still does every one of us massive good to exercise our brains.

> and we tax the hell out of the rich

If you are a developer in the US, you are the rich.

Whenever people say “tax the rich” what they invariably mean is tax those that are richer than they are.

If you are arguing from a moral standard, then shouldn’t most Americans be taxed and the actually poor ($2 per day) around the world receive those taxes?

> hyperconsumptive billionaire vampires

Which to the average sample of some outside the USA, the vampire is mostly regarded as the USA, using its economic might to equivalently tax most other countries through many means.

Disclaimer: I’m not against the US, but definitely against some of the effects one of the richest country in the world has on other poorer countries (per capita).

Edit: just noticed this quote: “In 1963, 20 percent of Americans lived in poverty. Today it’s 2.3 percent.” If you are not part of that 2.3%, then you are likely the rich of the world that should be taxed?
You must not ever work with junior developers. Rarely do I see a properly created commit history, what you usually get is something like:

Athletes aren't a great example. A quick look at the literature and you will quickly find heaps of studies on eating disorders in athletes. There are obvious and not so obvious motivations (i.e. a boxer making a weight division vs body image concerns). The big confounding factor in athletes is that they usually have extremely high discipline/self control.
It depends why you're doing it. It's plausible that different exercise has different physiological effects, in which case blithely calling them all the same thing may miss many potential benefits exercise can offer.
The primary actual use case for crypto is for illegal money transfers, and to facilitate illegal activity.

It has the benefits of cash (from an annonyminity point of view) but without the need for a risky physical handover.

It also allows illegal cross-border money movement. Whether this movement is moral or not, its still illegal. There are cases one can make that it allows the bypassing of laws for morality reasons, but unfortunately that attribute works equally well more mial and immoral reasons.

For Joe Public getting on with his life, crypto adds no functionality that isn't better, cheaper, and faster done another way.

> It seems like writing game netcode without setting up a WebRTC server should be reason enough.

this begs the question - is the browser really the right platform for a game where netcode like that is needed?

Why make the browser even more complex, when the original design of it is meant to only display documents? If we keep going down this road, you'd end up with an operating system inside the browser.
Economic hardships can take a heavy toll on one's mental health.
