> Almost every analyst agrees that

First rule of international conflicts: analysts in the press are almost always off by several orders of magnitude.

Specifically, these analysts told us:
(1) Russia would take Ukraine in days (didn't happen)
(2) Russia would collapse under sanctions (didn't happen)
(3) A breakthrough in Mariupol was imminent (didn't happen)
(4) Russian advance would grind to a halt (didn't happen)

I'm probably missing a few.

Also I'm old enough to remember that analysts were telling us that Saddam had WMDs :)

Edit: also in 2020 as Azerbaijan was crushing Armenia in the Karabakh War, analysts in the press were still echoing Armenian state propaganda.

I'm all fine with stigmatising the current use of prescription drugs to treat mental issues.
And that's not stigamtising mental health, it's promoting it with the push for more better treatments of the root causes. At this point only scientists struggle to come up with undeniable prove mental issues are mostly environmental, maybe if the sociology branch could step into cross disciplinary research but they would introduce a whole lot of noise.
Of course there are genetic factors or plain genetics as the causes but even then, the popular treatments are questionable at least.

> it really tips their hat. I guess my curiosity is did the woke people tarnish the word, or did opposing media re-define it?

A bit of both, IMO.
"To say the golden standard is useless without providing a better alternative."

This is a popular idea, and I have no idea where this corruption of the scientific process came from.

It's not true.

It is completely viable, legal, moral, and all the things to simply scientifically point at something and say "That doesn't work." No obligation to produce something that does work is incurred.
>The reversal or Roe was not about "kicking it back to the states", it was the first step in trying to make abortion access illegal nationwide.

Yes, and it makes me angry that so many commenters on this and other forums said, "Well, they have a point. It should be left to the states." As if women whose lives are at risk can wait for their judicial philosophy to cleanly play out; as if the raped 10 year old being forced to travel out of state to have an abortion was just how it goes while we figure out how to get the book keeping figured out; as if the woman who was forced to carry a dead fetus inside her for weeks because the hospital didn't want to risk being sued was just one of those tragic, unforeseeable, unavoidable victims of our imperfect democracy.

These are lives we're talking about here. And it's only going to get worse. Sorry to use a cliche, but wake the fuck up y'all.

> because when I became aware of the term it just meant more or less socially aware, particularly to the struggles of minorities.

That is what it meant; i.e., that you open your eyes and start seeing the injustice around you. And then the right-wing media machine found out about the term and turned it into a catchall insult, like they do with so many terms they appropriate from the left.

It's just the latest iteration of what happened with phrases like "trigger [warning]" or "politically correct."

I’ll never use any managed K8s product and here’s why

I only use K8s for complicated deployments where cost is something to optimize for. K8s provides vender neutral expression , but once you buy into managed K8s you have a non agnostic management set. managed K8s generally is more expensive and often prevents use of spot.
Most modern, developed nations regularly update their constitutions. The US is somewhat anomalous in holding on to an ancient document and considering it sacred.

My favorite people to talk to, read. Often a lot.

Take from that what you will, since it's only a correlation found in one person's experience. Maybe reading indicates openness to the ideas of others? Maybe it indicates the ability to focus, to reflect? I don't know. But I've found enthusiasm for reading to be uncannily predictive.
If you're curious, this observation only became clear to me when I started thinking about politics in a (very loose, hand-wavey) cultural evolutionary framework. I'm sure there's serious theoretical work on this, but I'm not hugely read up on the social sciences.

The general idea is that representative democracy can be seen as a sort of evolutionary algorithm, evolving a set of laws and regulations.

Think of elections as your fitness test. Whatever things feed into the election results, like debates and media storms can be seen as selective pressures.

For a democracy to function you need a healthy multi-party system, healthy independent media, political parties with strong grassroots control internally, a reasonably educated populace, and minimal corruption. All of these make the total selective pressures more aligned with what's best for everyone. If one party gets power for too long, we're essentially overprioritising selective pressures from one subset of society, causing an effective power imbalance that starts to cause more and more problems.

I might blog about it since it's a bit complicated to explain years of private, abstract thought like this, but hopefully that was an interesting read anyway.

>Why are we using a 200+ year old document that represented the preferences of maybe 20% of the country to regulate the internet?

Because it and following interpretation provides the boundaries for law in the US.

And comparing it to a fetish, or labeling it a 200 year old document, when is has been changed since then (last amended in 1992, still has multiple amendments pending, and can be changed again) is also absurd.
I had my usage suddenly go from 300GB to over 1 TB (the cap) and I couldn’t figure out where it was coming from. This was after months of my partner and I both working from home and keeping the same usage habits. I tracked the usage on my router and it didn’t match up. I asked the ISP for proof and they had none. Fortunately I found fiber had just gotten to my house and had no cap so I was able to switch, but I wondered how much you can really trust the ISP accounting.

I'm admittedly a Rust booster (in the sense that I like it) and so perhaps I'm biased, but: I don't really see Rust monopolizing spaces that don't otherwise make sense?

HN has a pre-existing bias towards the newest and shiniest thing, so it's not surprising that Rust takes up a lot of the oxygen in PL conversations (especially when so many of its peers, like Zig, emphasize having fewer deviations as an advantage.) But I don't see Rust taking up a disproportionate amount of headspace in more focused technical communities.
Phrasing a proposed bill as if it has taken effect is a standard tactic to evoke extra emotion resulting in extra clicks.

This can be quite difficult to sustain over the long run for a variety of reasons. First, these kinds of hobbies are quite time-consuming. Going mountain biking or outdoor rock climbing is likely to consume an entire weekend at least every time you do it. It's difficult to just do an hour a day every day. Second, you need consistent access to the places where it can be done. Live in Los Angeles? Great, you can surf, ski, climb Joshua Tree, thru-hike the Pacific Crest trail, mountain bike in the San Gabriels, all within an hour's drive. Live in Kansas City, now what?

There's also long term wear and tear. I've been a very historically active person and did a lot of these things. Outdoor rock climbing, open water swimming, bicycling, thru hiking, summitting <18,000 ft mountains in one day. But I'm really not sure which of those things I can still do. I've got ten screws in my spine now. Carrying around a pack and getting stuck on a mountain is not good. Bicycling really hurts. I developed some kind of elbow bursitis that won't go away no matter what and 20 minutes on a rock wall and my arm is absolutely throbbing now, for days. There doesn't seem to be anything I can do to stop it.

Lifting, on the other hand, gives you near infinite options to isolate single joints in arbitrary planes of motion, in a controlled and micro-loadable manner, which makes it possible to work pretty much anything safely and work around just about any injury. I'd like to still do open-water swimming, which I don't think would hurt me, but I no longer live near any swimmable bodies of water. But I still have a garage and can put weights in it.
>How is this allowed in light of the interstate commerce clause?

Laws are allowed until the Court rules on them. The states can pass all manner of fucked up laws (and they will), and they will stand while we figure this out -- or, until the Supreme Court rules in their favor.

Edit: changing Supreme Court to Courts, since the appellate court exists. But the point is the same.

I think you're underestimating how ... flexible ... the Constitution is lately.
Pet hypothesis: it is the natural response of the human mind to a unresolvable and conflict between it's world model and its experiential data. This leads to a lot of problems, because we are reluctant to act on predictions made by a known incorrect model. It is very unpleasant in the same way the pain of a broken leg is unpleasant, and for roughly the same reason. Sometimes we double down on the obviously broken model, insisting that reality change instead, which often leads to anger and violence. Other times we simply give up and seek to end the discomfort by medical or suicidal means instead. Ideally, we are able to incorporate the data into a new world model that better reflects reality and that we can make decisions with in confidence.

We go through a bunch of these during our lives, especially as children and adolescents, but society and culture have incorporated mechanisms to help young minds build new, more accurate, world models so it usually isn't much of a problem. However, we're at a point in our societal development where more and more minds are seeing the failures of their world model that society has no answer for.
To be honest, I think the goal is more to get this in front of the current supreme court to try and chip away at more federal control over laws like this.

I think dysfunctional theory of mind(mentalizing) explains allot more on a more general plane than monotropism does when it comes to the autistic mind.

That said one might make the leap that poor mentalization is a effect caused by monotropism as the article seams to imply. It’s a chicken and egg problem.

I personally tend to think that poor mentalization ability leads to problems when it comes to subconscious guiding of attention.

Uranium fuel is a non issue. It's imported because there are very cheap sources abroad and it's a tiny fraction of nuclear power cost. There are known uranium sources in France, they're just not exploited at the moment because that would be a waste of money. But they're there in case demand rises.

As a former notorious EVE player myself, yes this is correct.

I've done everything from old school POS wars to Titan kills to running multiple types of production empires to living in wormholes and being a wealthy (trillions ISK, back when the best way to get wealthy was through RP) feared low-sec space pirate (this one was my personal endgame).

Once you've reached one of EVE's endgame scenarios it's basically impossible to continue playing and get any enjoyment out of the game.

You might try, but it's like chasing your first high. It's never as good.

the media treats it that way, but the government and many non profits work to reduce total deaths. You just dont hear about it because the media gate keeps the news.

SSRIs can cause depersonalization (a form of dissociation) which can lower the barrier to violence (or self harm). It doesn’t make sense to point to this is a root cause for gun violence generally but it could reasonably be a root cause for an unknown number of mass shootings.
I always worry when we start painting large groups of people with a single brush and labeling them the enemy.

There are plenty of people who oppose abortion that are appalled at something like this or the Texas bounty hunting law. If we continue to try and paint each other group as a monolithic enemy other division will continue to rise and polarization will increase and the effects will be devestating.

Similar situation here. I was tricked into opening a Coinbase account. I was able to pull some of my money out, but some of it is in "Bitcoin SV". Coinbase won't let me sell it and it won't let me transfer it. They are telling me I need to install some sketchy app and give them more personal information before I can transfer the funds, but at this point I want nothing further to do with them, I just consider it money that I have lost to a scam.

While I haven't played EvE in many years, I still hold many fond memories of it back from my middle/high school years.
Particularly when I chose to abandon the peaceful in-game lifestyle of building and selling ship to other players in favor of the pirate life.

I did this by fitting a small and fast ship with close-range weaponry that allowed me to take engagements versus much larger ships whose weapons couldn't reliably hit a target with so much transverse velocity. In addition I would run a special module that allowed you to deactivate your opponents warp drive, preventing them from escaping.

In game life was then just patrolling law-less star systems waiting for another player to arrive, typically they'd come to my star-systems in search of NPC pirates to destroy, netting in-game currency.

Once the prey was busy fighting the ai-pirates, I'd warp into their local space and begin shooting them to pieces. Once their ship was on the brink of destruction, I'd open a comm channel and demand an in-game currency transfer in exchange for letting them go.

This was a mutually beneficial arrangement as the ransom was lower than their ship value but also higher than what I could salvage from their wreckage.

As you'd imagine, responses were varied. More often than not however I'd get the payment and they'd return to safe space intact.

Ironically, I received more in-game love-mail than hate-mail for my exploits.

I've grown into a much nicer person since then but I can't help but look back on those times fondly.
This reminds me of chloroform.

Some scientists were hanging out “experimenting” with substances they made (presumably huffing things and getting high?) when they apparently realized chloroform could have medical applications.

So, one of them used it on a patient a couple days later.

They claimed they had discovered this property of chloroform independently, but it had been described as an anaesthetic a couple years earlier.

Regardless, medicine in the 1800s was pretty fast and loose.
That's not how science works.

If the "golden standard" is in fact the placebo effect, that's good to know.

Generating too much for the grid isn't an actual problem. Modern renewables can shut themselves off quickly. Most serious national plans involve overprovisioning.

You've never seen anyone credible worry about how we'll cope with that terrible excess of cheap power because it's not a problem, merely an opportunity.

You've probably mostly been reading complaints of the operators of non-renewable plants that can't do this and are annoyed they're being asked to do it when renewables are plentiful as it costs then money to do so, even on top of the lost electricity.

We use YNAB, a program run by a small-ish team in (i think?) Utah. It's forward looking budgeting, but with the expectation that you may adjust mid-month. It imports transactions from my banks through a third party, and that "usually" works. It doesn't cover investment accounts, we just use it to manage cash flow and monthly planning.
hmm yes you are right, I've never thought of it this way actually.

my thinking with Terrabook was like, what stops non-devops-savvy developers from starting to use TF? And the hypothesis is that it's a bunch of things that need to be set up prior to getting to something working, like a VPC and so on. And then having that, how do I get a database? The fastest way seems to be just find someone's github and copy from there, assuming I'm not familiar with the TF world. So I thought, why not build this right into the tool

Suppose there are 1Billion shares free float in a company. Out of that 500million stocks are locked by Founders and true believers. So only 500million stocks that is liquid.

Suppose, I have $10Billion with me. Current price of stock is $1000.
Ideally, I could buy 10million shares. Instead, I buy long dated call options to buy 50million shares at a price $1200 probably with $1Billion.
And use rest $9Billion in open market to get 9million stock during a decent positive surprise of earnings release. The option writers will scramble to buy stocks in open market for even higher price to cover the options they have written.

We know how they work. They get people high, and people like to be high. Does it correct any issue? No, but being high masks feeling down.

After a while, the high's not enough, so they need to either up the dose, start mixing alcohol, or turn to other drugs.
> The interstate commerce clause was hollowed out and left undefended

Your citation to Wickard v. Fillburn for support of this is...bizarre. That case took what some view as an unreasonably expansive view of the federal power under the ICC, but that does the opposite of supporting the contention that it was “hollowed out” in a way that expands state power into the reserved federal space.

I'm talking about normal morning rush hour, which is to say starting in around 6:30am or so (to avoid the very worst of it). It still can take almost two hours for a drive that takes about an hour in light traffic. I don't think that's significantly contributed to by people taking advantage of emptier roads.

I will say that the couple of times I've taken the train or subway over the past six months, they've seemed relatively underutilized compared to pre-pandemic. So there may be some degree of switching to cars from transit options.
