The weirdest thing I always find with posts by skeptics is that I almost always notice a history of defending treatments like Ivermectin and yet seemingly never follow-ups losing faith in the charlatans or institutions that were falsely pushing said treatments. It's always very specifically the one treatment that's been confirmed to work.

Parties did publish data and every single treatment pushed by skeptics fell apart because none of it had any real scientific basis behind it. The 'censorship' occurred because people started buying into false treatments opening up companies to serious liability when people start drinking bleach as a COVID cure because some popular influencer on YouTube marketed it as a miracle cure.
I think that’s a neat idea because I’ve been wanting something like this for several weeks :)

Isn't it possible that some indigenous people "saw the writing on the wall," realized that "if you can't beat 'em, join em," and capitulated with the institutions of their own genocide more enthusiastically than we might demand from the privilege of our armchairs and hindsight?
There is outrage over the atrocities, which is justified.

There's also outrage over the nebulous notion of 'pushing Canadian/European values'. I think that's misplaced.
This is great. Presenting something abstract in the form of something familiar is always fun, and preserving the state to prevent replaying (incognito and tampering aside) makes it easier to share without everyone being a Robert.

"When Tad Dominiak, the inspector assigned to our case, called me back, the conversation did not go well. Dominiak told me every plant on the slope longer than 12 inches would need to be removed. He threatened me with a fine of $50 per day, per weed, if we didn’t comply. When I told Dominiak that removing all of the vegetation would cause massive erosion, he suggested terracing. We had looked into that, I told him, and it would cost tens of thousands of dollars. He responded, “Your cost of compliance is not my problem.” "

I wonder why they can't just buy, borrow or rent a weed whacker.

I am missing some context for spending $30,000 being a serious option, and I wonder if the inspector didn't understand either.

(Further on it says they paid someone $5000 to remove the vegetation...

And another $4,000: "I’ve since attempted to stop the erosion by anchoring cement blocks into the slope and turning them into beds with trees and decorative plants. Hauling cement blocks and 35-pound bags of mulch up a steep slope is a laborious process, and I have no idea if it will work. But while it’s still been expensive — about $4,000 so far"

And a tree that costs thousands to remove:
"By forcing us to fix a dubious problem, the city had created a genuine safety hazard. Taking down the tree will cost another $4,000 to $6,000.")
Nothing is perfect, there’s probably good reason for this behaviour … but it is rarely something that happens anyway. and you know, deleting a key for the state lock (one that explicitly tells you when and who created it) ain’t that hard or a that big of a deal.

Yeah, the other weird thing about the whole situation is that (1) these things likely happened in other European boarding schools of a similar nature and (2) the physical punishments the students were subject to were par for the course in that era. The forced kidnapping is still wrong, but that doesn't mean we also need to add in other less substantiated claims.

If I could make one change to popular parlance (or perhaps I should say technical jargon), it would be the usage of the word externality. While it is a technically correct description, the framing implied leads to analysis that I don’t think is fundamentally sound.

Markets optimize for products. If something can’t be made into a product wherein the full value and cost to society is express captured within the transaction itself, you generally end up with less than ideal outcomes.

Capitalism is the best system for optimizing for productive efficiency, but creating an abundance of material wealth isn’t quite the same thing as making society as a whole the best that is can be.
They deposit half the layers, etch holes through them and form vertical strings of memory cells, then repeat all that to build a second deck of layers on top. The interface between decks is a potential source of problems, but is more manageable than trying to drastically increase the aspect ratio of the holes that need to be etched through the stack.

Etching through lots of layers at once is why 3D NAND flash memory is actually economical, compared to basically every other kind 3D chips where layers have to be built one at a time.
Sorry about that! Fixed now.
>a lower factor of actual inequalities in societies.

You can't, and shouldn't compare independent circumstances. You can be poor and a man, you can be rich and a woman.

Imagine being a girl on HN. You see this cool map and see wow, not a lot of women I can look up to it seems. And you go to the comments and see someone agrees with you. OK cool, maybe people would start replying with some important women who should be more famous.

Nope. Turns out it doesn't matter, because there are poor people who aren't famous either. You're actually priveleged to want to look up to women when there are poor people you could look up to.

>And as a french person it's insane that your culture is so confrontational and tribal that "all lives matters"

As a French person you don't know the context and therefore the depth of the idiocy of what you just wrote.

There is a concept, you know, of cultural difference. Where if I say something and you react differently than I would, it makes sense because what I said means something different to you. Obviously "all lives matter" doesn't literally mean "all lives matter" in this context. People started saying that in the US because others were saying "black lives matter". But you know who gets disproportionately killed in police confrontations? Not "all people", but black people. So the meaning of "all lives matter" really is "I need to make this about me as well"/"You're talking about something I don't like, so I'm going to make it about something else."

Sure it's tribal. One tribe wants the other to shut up about how people are getting murdered for no reason.

This is nice!

I can't help but wonder why everyone still names their API functions Foo_to_Bar when the reverse Bar_from_Foo is so much more readable when chaining conversions.

Compare the example here:

let myoklch =
OKLab_to_OKLCH(XYZ_to_OKLab(D65_to_D50(lin_ProPhoto_to_XYZ(lin_ProPhoto(mycolor)))))

With what it could have been if it had used Bar_from_Foo naming instead:

let myoklch =
OKLCH_from_OKLab(OKLab_from_XYZ(D50_from_D65(XYZ_from_linProPhoto(lin_ProPhoto(mycolor)))))
American politicians and capitalists realized how valuable the western half of the continent before British Canada did and they acted on it. If you look as the west coast it’s mostly American coast, it’s kind of surprising that Americans didn’t just take it all when you think about it
Society relies upon discretion and selective enforcement. Mandatory minimum sentences are a travesty that has destroyed countless lives. It's impossible to write laws to cover every scenario, so we rely on proper enforcement and sentencing.
Yes, sadly, I have seen this too many times.
Yeah I agree. Just for anyone who might stumble upon this, if you go with the default G1GC, pretty much just leave it as is. IF you experience some problem that you assume is due to the GC, you may try changing the singular config option of target pause time, which will tweak the GC on the latency-throughput spectrum (which are opposite ends of the same axis)
Elite might not be the right word (though in terms of percentages and poverty at the time..) The travel of these people was very expensive so they had a form of social capital attached to them that implies city or at least town connections, not living on the very peripherals of society where supplementing your food is the more critical skill. I.e. I think they chose debt over uncertainty as a house servant or collectively as a town and a sect.

The two Irish famines are very telling. In 1740 almost no one emigrated across the Atlantic, business men didn't swoop on a chance to go indenture every able bodied Irishman, after 1840 parts of Canada became half Irish. The children of Irish share croppers were Europeans who could at least partially feed themselves without civil infrastructure.
> I suspect if the concept of the registry was created today it would look more like a database (e.g. Sqlite), although organizing it like a virtual FileSystem does have a certain appeal, and unfortunately I don't know of a database engine that supports such a layout.

You can menstruate with one ovary, and get pregnant with none, so at the very least the other two are sloppily worded.

That's if you count them as three separate claims, to my count they're all combined into one statement, which means the whole thing is logically false if any part is false, which is the case here.
Correct; after the newer seeding policies have taken affect, many have punted to the OS/app for seeding. See https://csrc.nist.gov/CSRC/media/projects/cryptographic-modu... -- the entropy input is plaintext via API, but still needs to be from an approved source via 90B I believe, so likely means their Android kernel is also certified or they maintain something like JitterEntropy for that.

The older e.g., 36xx series Google cert predates that requirement iirc, when you could seed from a non-FIPS kernel.
I expect pricing is probably pretty bespoke, given there are humans involved. I worked for a company that had X% off all AWS costs, including all data transfer - except for CloudFront, which had a whole separate negotiated rate card (including data transfer, per-request rates, etc.).
>Remember Facebook offering people a few bucks to MITM their entire phone? Oh wait, that was on the official App store! And they didn't even ban them!

No, companies can apply for their own app signing key that allows them to create apps for their own in-house-only uses that completely bypass the App Store.

Facebook used that enterprise signing key to install spyware on user's devices. This had nothing to do with the App Store, and Apple did revoke their signing key as a warning shot.

>“We designed our Enterprise Developer Program solely for the internal distribution of apps within an organization,” the spokesperson said. “Facebook has been using their membership to distribute a data-collecting app to consumers, which is a clear breach of their agreement with Apple. Any developer using their enterprise certificates to distribute apps to consumers will have their certificates revoked, which is what we did in this case to protect our users and their data.”

There's nothing weird about it all, and I'm confused as to why you chose to nitpick at that statement in particular.

That particular statement was with regard to suggested technical issues surrounding graphics. My friends and I generally found the play experience to be unobjectionable. My very statement explains that we all abandoned the product in favor of alternatives that provided a superior experience in one way or the other, not necessarily related to play experience. I for one prefer the versatility that a general low-latency desktop session via Parsec provides. Another friend that's deeply invested in the Xbox ecosystem preferred to use Microsoft's competing game streaming offering.

Many guides still refer users to the `dconf` command, though, which is technically a lower-level tool but basically does the same thing for 99.999% of GNOME installations. (Users/distro-makers can actually choose the storage format on GNOME's case.)

> As a guitar player I can't even imagine relearning a lifetime of experience from scratch again

Then you should remember, if you practiced an hour everyday, it took you less than a month to learn to play guitar and less than a few to be proficient (especially with folk music as opposed to classical or jazz). Guitar is among the easiest instruments to learn. What is exceptional about Mitchell is that she probably lost fine motor control entirely, and no doubt with great effort and determination, created new neural pathways in her brain in order to duplicate the fine motor control she once had. Learning to play guitar is not all that impressive, but reconfiguring the brain to bypass permanent brain damage truly is.

Most GCs do exactly that -- they only "work" when absolutely necessary, and their heuristics says that they are getting behind the created garbage. If the program exits shortly after it will just leak the memory.

The problem with that in the case of C++ is that you likely only want to leak things used in the end from the main thread, but not "recursively" - the distinction is hard to do.

His analysis of car expenses doesn't make sense. He doesn't include the various costs associated with Uber, such as time cost when waiting for a driver who will eventually cancel after driving just outside your zone for 10 minutes, or demand pricing, and many other details.

It's my theory that Java, unintentionally, did a lot of damage to P&L research. I write a lot of Rust, and while the borrow checker is great, I've come to really admire the work that was put in the Go GC even if it's not as fast Java.

There is a whole generation of programmers that have come to equate GC with Java's 10 second pauses or generics/typed variables with Java's implementation of them. Even the return to typed systems (Sorbel, pythons' typing, typescript) could be seen as typed languages are great, what we really hated was Java's verbose semantics.

> This is a difference in attitude between Americans and French when describing their countries

I'm not sure that's true - it appears to involve a legal distinction. I see many references to Algeria having been an "integral part of France" where other French territory wasn't. But I don't actually know what the terminology means. Anyway, I'd begin by looking to the legal status France tended to give to overseas territories, rather than the attitudes of the French, to explain this.

> Meanwhile I think a lot of Americans kinda-unconsiously barely even consider Hawaii and Alaska really parts of America, let alone the numerous non-state territories.

And this is a perfect case in point; Americans do consider Hawaii and Alaska to be really parts of America, because they have the legal status.
It exists cause Russia settled Alaska including a fort in the panhandle. There was treaty with British in 1825 that established the boundary of panhandle (but was very ambiguous for landward side). Russia then sold Alaska to the US in 1867. The landward boundary had to be decided in 1903.
