When my local fiber backbone was cut last year, many neighborhoods including mine lost service. Guess what happened to the 5G? I had a hotspot for backup use, and it was useless. Turns out the towers use the same backbone!
Due diligence is expected among a mature population. But you're right it's not entirely on individuals. There should be ways to disseminate information about the threats these products pose to personal liberty, especially in a nation that uses the word "liberty" so freely in its foundational documents.
Obviously people have guard dogs to guard things.

But dangerous dogs who attack strangers don’t ask questions. If they’ll bite a strange thief, they’ll bite other strangers without bad motives. Dogs are smart, but they don’t understand “Hi I’m your new mailman”, etc.
I get what you're saying, but if someone uses a slur it's actually totally reasonable not to want to have a debate with them about it.
It took me many attempts to adopt Obsidian, but eventually, now I am hooked.

One of things I understood too late is what a proper shit takes 2-3 minutes at worst, I just used that time to be alone with my things and thoughts.

YMMV, of course.
And what evidence may you have that it did not come from a lab?

Ignoring the incredible risks of playing with and even creating deadly pathogens and the high likelihood of it being released into the world serves what purpose other than to protect a small group of scientists that want to create Frankenstein pathogens for experimental purposes that are likely to be either weaponized or accidentally released? Even if there are some beneficial results from such research it is likely countered by the huge risks to mankind.
It's a big place.

While I'll readily admit I don't like a lot of the political environment here, there are also a _lot_ of amazing people and places.
> Stalinism might had a top down approach to ideology, but what would get you in a gulag is the people around you reporting you to the kgb. This made oppression including linguistic also bottom-up

Snitching on your neighbors to the state secret police because they criticized the state is not a bottom-up movement. It is possible only when there is a coherent, centralized state agenda.

There are no woke police. There is no woke Stalin. The analogy is utterly inapplicable here.

> the real insulting words are never these that debated.

I'm curious about this, do you have some examples?
The trouble with no is people will say why and try to guilt you into saying yes.
Are you under the impression that, every time someone is fired for violating a rule in an employee manual, lawyers get involved?
That idea of a sidepanel showing a feed of potentially related notes via fuzzy search or something would be such a game changer. Tempted to learn some clojure just to implement this in logseq…
Original article:

> Viewers who still have physical copies of Stranger Things season one noticed something odd having gone back for a rewatch on Netflix: a scene wherein one-time weirdo Jonathan Byers (Charlie Heaton) takes spying, lewd snaps of now-lover Nancy (Natalia Dyer) from a bush has been erased on the platform. And it's not the first time the Duffers have gone back to the cutting room after the fact.

> There's a difference between correcting factual errors (or typos) and changing the story to better fit current political climate.

It's a good thing that in this case the factual error was the assertion of "changing the story to better fit current political climate."

Without that fake bombshell (that they could have validated for $XX dollars by just buying the DVD) what is the difference between an article correction and a minor plot continuity correction?
But the gp isn't making the argument that the data is suspect, and so carefully curated as to point to a misleading conclusion. Rather, it accuses the paper of reproducing a political party line.

If China is messing with the data, why do we even have data that shows the epicenter of infection moving southeast? Why not just hide or falsify it?
Could that same criticism not also be applied to this very news article that was retroactively edited or 'George Lucased' as the writer refers to it as.
It's about a close-knit group of friends. You'd expect that someone would either mention it, or Will would be upset that nobody mentioned it.

Archaeologists directly observe artifacts. For example, there's a class of artifact that have been called "storage jars" but there wasn't any evidence of what was "stored" in them. Some hypothesized that they were used as chamber pots, but they're too large to sit on. Recently, an archaeologist directly observed the eggs of a human fecal parasite inside of such a "storage jar," evidence in favor of the chamber pot hypothesis. They further hypothesize that these "storage jars" were housed in a wooden frame so that people could sit & do their business -- an ancient port-a-potty -- with little expectation that such a wooden structure would have survived the millenia. And, note the title "ceramic pot was probably a portable toilet."

The criminal justice system works in the same way. Detectives look for evidence that a person was at the scene of a murder, and evidence linking the person to the murder weapon, and establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt even though no other living person directly observed the murder.
Golly, brother. I feel you all the way down to my toes. My parents just openly, declaratively resent my leaving misery behind for a rewarding and financially secure career.

This was a follow up to the original transgression, you have to be clear of what you are shutting down, before you shut it down. Again the two statements I said are much clearer and don't single out the recipient.

Is that true? If so, it didn't last for long. There's no way to legally watch the original Star Wars now, unless you can find a physical VHS or Laserdisc.
I doubt any of the all-window-facade building will be able to stand the test of time. On the other hand, the parisians wanted the ”useless and monstrous” Eiffel tower torned down after the exhibition (as was the plan) so I think it is inherently difficult to guess.
I don't think using the correct terms to avoid ambiguity is "dogma". It would be "pedantic" except the concern regards pretty much the essence of the issue, so that doesn't apply either.

They obviously don't have control over the authors of the paper for thread you're commenting on, and for the umpteenth time, absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence. Confidently asserting that since we don't have evidence of a lab leak, it's somehow more likely is just dumb.

Virologists have pored over the genome and are highly confident it's a virus of natural origin -- that already greatly limits the role a lab could have played and doesn't require any input or approval from the Chinese government.

I don't understand the question. Or at least I don't see what you hope to learn from the responses.

Pretty much every aspect of note-taking is a deeply personal choice based on what you are doing, what the subject is, and what you want the notes to represent in the end. And probably changes over time, of course. You can learn about tools and methodologies but at the end of the day, these are just options to make your note-taking possibly more efficient, they don't help you take better notes, that only comes with experience.

IME you can't be "taught" how to take effective notes any more than you were "taught" to walk or function in society. You just figure it out after a while.
Because it’s easy to prosecute. You got the suspect dead to rights, with $20 worth of whatever on their person.

Journalists have been doing this the last few years without using a disclaimer. Personally, I think it's completely different as film and music is art. If this was done with music it would be especially damaging. Imagine your favourite songs being remastered and arranged for the worst. Artists could rework unsuccessful albums, which is weird.

I'm not particularly surprised by this outcome as milk always seemed like a pragmatic source of supplemental nutrition for certain cultures which was gained for free with keeping animals for meat, and in a time before greenhouses, overseas imports, canning, etc., I imagine you'll take what you can get to round out a diet at certain times.
Netflix is able to track when viewers jump off in an episode. I’m wondering whether this information will be used soon to retroactively optimize the story line.
I don't really remember this, although I'm about the same age as the author. I do remember Riviton, which was similar but had reusable rubber rivets that you stretched lengthwise with the "riveting" tool, then released, whereupon the rivet would return to its original width, holding the bond in place until removed with the same tool.

Unfortunately the rivets turned out to be a choking hazard (two children died) and it was recalled (though I kept my set):

> For monospace fonts, used by Warp for terminal input and output, glyph advance is a constant - a fixed amount of spacing is used between all pairs of glyphs.

It's more complicated than that, too. (But just about every terminal I've ever used at one point or another has made that buggy assumption!) Emoji and wide CJK characters typically take two terminal cells.

For example (and HN will corrupt the output of this command, as it will remove the emoji):

» python3 -c 'print("1234567890\n\N{PILE OF POO}x\u4e09x")'
1234567890
x三x

The second "x" should align under the 6. 4 glyphs, 6 cells.

(I am a bit curious about the subpixel stuff. I've done font atlases, but IME Harfbuzz — the shaping engine I've used — only seems to emit integral advances? (Although I'm now wanting to re-test that assumption.) And I'm not entirely sure I know how to ask FreeType to render a glyph with an offset, either.)
There are claims this is untrue but even if it’s true it’sa non-story and nothing new. Famously there’s Star Wars (as the article mentions) but there are plenty of others.

TV shows and movies have removed episodes from circulation (eg Seinfeld), removed scenes (eg 13 Reasons Why), added scenes (pick any Director’s Cut), enhanced scenes, enhanced or changed audio, etc.

Content as originally published isn’t untouchable. It’s only really a problem when the changes are bad. I mean fans of Star Wars have been clamoring for a release of the original theatrical version for 25+ years in large part because the changes are worse.
> In the original 1937 edition of "The Hobbit" Gollum was genuinely willing to bet his ring on the riddle game, the deal being that Bilbo would receive a "present" if he won. Gollum in fact was dismayed when he couldn't keep his promise because the ring was missing. He showed Bilbo the way out as an alternative, and they parted courteously.

> As the writing of LotR progressed the nature of the Ring changed. No longer a "convenient magical device", it had become an irresistable power object, and Gollum's behavior now seemed inexplicable, indeed, impossible. In the rough drafts of the "Shadow of the Past" chapter Gandalf was made to perform much squirming in an attempt to make it appear credible, not wholly successfully.

> Tolkien resolved the difficulty by re-writing the chapter into its present form, in which Gollum had no intention whatsoever of giving up the Ring but rather would show Bilbo the way out if he lost. Also, Gollum was made far more wretched, as befitted one enslaved and tormented by the Ruling Ring. At the same time, however, Bilbo's claim to the Ring was seriously undercut.

It is odd that the whole dialog among very close teenage friends doesn't mention that it is the character's birthday at all. It is kind of clear in the episode that the writers just didn't realize it.

This is the stripped down version of the USICA/Competes act that has been languishing for the last year and a bit.

The senate was lukewarm with the prior bills whereas they support this stripped down version better.
Indeed. I think the grandparent commenter wanted to say "no animals infected with SARS-CoV-2 have yet been found, except those infected directly or indirectly by humans".
I use the CODE and PARA methods from Tiago Forte.

Much of what I'm taking notes on are things I am learning for my job and self improvement. How I use that knowledge, how they might relate to a project I am working on, how they relate to my core values, life goals, or priorities.

I feel strongly that I start with a quote or summary of what I learned. Then I reword it and summarize it in my own words, then I link it to other things I know that resonate with that idea or thought or nugget. Then I look at how to use it in my current projects.
I sort of love the idea of closing this very minor plot hole around Will's birthday. It definitely takes advantage of streaming and seems like a great use for the super deep fan base.

On the other hand, what Lucas did to Star Wars sort of helped with plot around Han Solo and Jabba, but also added gratuitous special effects that didn't change the story. Maybe there can be a standard of what is acceptable for post-release media edits?
Yes, but one correction to your red states thing: it's not a red vs blue thing -- the Democrats in charge wanted that in the bill, for better or worse.

"I didn't mean to be hurtful. Why would someone be hurt by that? I was just trying to be funny. Some people are too sensitive. Besides, it's true. ..." And so on, and so on.

From the article:

"But I don’t always have the time and energy to do that. And sometimes, even if I did have the time, the person involved doesn’t want to be educated. This is when I pull out “we don’t do that here.” It is a conversation ender. If you are the newcomer and someone who has been around a long time says “we don’t do that here”, it is hard to argue. This sentence doesn’t push my morality on anyone. If they want to do whatever it is elsewhere, I’m not telling them not to. I’m just cluing them into the local culture and values. If I deliver this sentence well it carries no more emotional weight than saying, “in Japan, people drive on the left.” “We don’t do that here” should be a statement of fact and nothing more. It clearly and concisely sets a boundary, and also makes it easy to disengage with any possible rebuttals."
They didn't stop editing Star Wars 20 years ago, unfortunately. See Disney+ editing the scene between Greedo and Han Solo to make Greedo say "Maclunkey[0]" before shooting him.

And yes Greedo still shoots first because we live in the worst timeline.

The damning thing here is that the error was made in the first place.

The first three seasons had 25 episodes released over five years, and apparently nobody in the production team for season 4 remembered that there was a birthday scene in one of the episodes. Either nobody working on the most expensive tv show in the world has seen the show, or, more likely, someone higher up said "who cares".
Hidden gems like this were one of the great things about Everything2. For those who aren't familiar with it, E2 is structured vaguely like an encyclopedia, only instead of being a shared Wiki any user can write a whole separate article. Sometimes this was helpful for learning -- having three different explanations of what a tensor[1] is, for example. Sometimes it gave a mix of informational and personal content, such as the page on Mother's Day[2], which has one article on the history of the holiday and two about the authors' attempts to cope with it despite losing or never having had a good relationship with their mothers. (Plus a summary of a Futurama episode by that name, because E2 was like that.)

It also had an accidentally-fun feature in its hyperlinking system. Hyperlinks were intended to be used to be used for words that had their own articles, but you could link to any article, and when you hovered your mouse over the link the name of the target article would pop up. This could be used to make the closest thing I've seen to an English equivalent of Japanese furigana puns. I'm having trouble finding a good example right now, sadly.
