> This reads more like a disclaimer of someone who just saw the uproar around Pine64 and said "oh crap, I recommended those. better do some intellectual damage control".

I don't think so. It all reads that "Hey, Pine64, You're ruining it. Get it together or you'll be in a worse shape".

With his prominence around certain circles, he's just making the situation tougher for Pine64, by making things even more visible, and I support that.

The users at Thunderbird's release were familiar with Netscape and Outlook so the design emulated them. Any new user is familiar with Chrome and Gmail, so Thunderbird moves towards designs the new users would be familiar with.
What I know about DMSO:

DMSO is used in pain relief in other countries (eg Mexico). It's also excellent for burns as it allows the body to repair a tiny amount of nerve damage or prevents it. Hard to say. This is demonstrable by burning yourself, I guess. My family and I have used it for burns for over 20 years. Granted, we don't get burned/encounter people who have been burned at home that often. I had a close friend with a rare disease (McCune Albright's Syndrome) who used it for pain relief, after I treated a burn she received.

It has been reported that it use has repaired massive nerve damage, which is probably coincidental. It is sold in healthfood stores in the US, but you want to dilute it 1/100 parts water. While it is primarily used as an industrial lubricant, on contact, it immediately travels through the skin to the nervous system. Most people get the strange reaction of the taste of oysters, when it's absorbed. There is a small percentage of people with various allergic reactions, like with many chemicals.

I would never mix it with soap, for any reason. It's like mixing shoe polish or granola with soap, you just end up with a mess of concerns.
Was anyone expecting otherwise?

They'll use it to make their algorithm better, and they'll use it to better target ads.

Both of those things are good for me the user, so I'm fine with it.

And for those who don't like that, use a blocker, or don't use TikTok.
Yes I'm aware. But opt-out remains for web sites, which are also copyrighted. The difference is that books had a powerful entity arguing their case. So I think my point stands.
But school has other important benefits.
> I guess those guys aren't real then?

You didn't even check your own link I guess. That group's first attack was in 1984 when they operated out of Egypt and in the south of Israel/Palestine. Not a single one of their attacks happened in Lebanon during the civil war. Their presence in Lebanon starts in 1989, at the end of the civil war, and they have to this day not attacked a Lebanese target.

This confirms the point I've been communicating this entire thread that religion only became a driving force in Palestinian politics and militancy in the 1990s and Palestinian Islamism was not a factor in the Lebanese civil war.

> radical Islamist Palestinians who had left Palestine and wanted an Islamic state in Lebanon

This is false and misrepresents Palestinian movements in the pre-1990s era and their objectives in Lebanon. That is all I wanted to point out.

I agree with the rest of what you said though.
I get it. Reminds me of a friend who used to live in the same little mountain town where I live who was paid full time by IBM to work on Apache Foundation projects. He used a super-cheap netbook and it was the only computer he owned.

I bought a Lenovo Duet Chromebook last year, and for a cheap device I really like it: very small, useable Linux containers for some Common Lisp and Python dev work. Otherwise I have a bunch of expensive Apple gear.

If I had to, I could get by with just my phone and the Duet.

I love using these RAD tools but I think part of what we're forgetting is how much lower the standards were (both visual and functional) for UIs back then. Sure you could throw together a professional UI in a lot less time, but part of that was that the definition of "professional" was "looks exactly the same as every other Windows application and uses the same 5 form elements". We've just come to expect more variety so the RAD approach doesn't take you as far these days.

I like the metaphor! I'd suggest two points, if humans evolved as fast as viruses and we couldn't replace all the oxygen on earth at once (and likely not at all in some places just as we can't get vaccine everywhere at once and not in some places at all) I would think it far more likely for human evolution to figure it out. Unlikely still, but maybe not outside the realm of possibility?

In keeping with the metaphor though and as others have pointed out in the thread - non oxygen lungs wouldn't make humans super humans, just different and if anything more likely to be weaker than their oxygen breathing counterparts as they adapt to a new environment? I think that is the running idea I'm getting at least.

Yes, and I think this runs counter to the parent poster I was responding to claiming that things like the IA "can't" do what they've been doing for decades. They can. And the people hosting this web site can do it too. They might get a DMCA notice, absolutely, in which case, maybe they'll still be able to host the content. It's a grey area. The parent poster was speaking in very clear absolutes and thus, IMO, misrepresenting the situation.
Then you're arguing that Thunderbird is trying to emulate Chrome. But you haven't even attempted to argue why the design changed. Chrome was not facing a population that was familiar with designs from the future.

> The users at Thunderbird's release were familiar with Netscape and Outlook so the design emulated them.

If this were true, then Chrome's designs wouldn't have changed. You can't have this both ways.
I bought a couple of SolidTeknics[1] wrought iron pans, and I love them.
You have to season them first, which essentially involves blackening them by burning good cooking oils onto them. I used rice bran oil for that. It's a bit of a mission, but you only do it once.

They are great because you can get them really hot and they have excellent heat inertia. You can put them in the oven if needed. And cleanup is simple: just hot water & a brush. No chemicals. I've often got the pan clean and back in the cupboard while my protein is resting.

But if it's not protein that your cooking on your pan, but instead perhaps its an acidic sauce, then I would recommend a stainless steel pan for that.

For pots I would go with stainless also. Or copper if you can afford it.

Thanks so much for the excellent comments. You seem familiar with the topic, so a question:
How do you convince a doctor to actually check for parasites?

Two years ago I was bitten by many, many triatomines in a subtropical environment and have recently been seeing symptoms similar to chagas disease, but no doctor I've spoken to is interested in testing for it. I understand it's not an everyday concern, buy the resistance to even try surprises me.
I don't know what's released from Teflon pans at high heat, but Teflon kills birds. I know this because I killed two birds by forgetting about a pan I was warming up. Wasn't enough to make the pan look any different; was enough to instantly kill the birds.

Sure, but most people don't care about that level of detail. Credit cards are essentially "digital" in the sense that most people care about.
Just because something is legal doesn't mean it's ethical.

I think this is more of an ethical issue than a legal one, slowly our laws tend to move towards ethical boundries we consider acceptable.

What you describe as physical dependency is nothing more but your brain changing in response to the drug that's being administered to it. Not very surprisingly a drug could also be digital or artificial for example gambling.

I think most societies have agreed that because people of the 0 to 18 (give or take a few years, 16 to 21 tends to be the upper range) are particularly vulnerable due to these being formative years that certain actions and substances need to be outlawed until these people can be legally responsible for making these actions.

And companies that deal in these industries should be liable if:

1. They know about the problem
2. They choose to continue.
3. They've got no problem targeting vulnerable individuals.

Of course this ends up being a back and forth between our legal systems and the different industries. But why should we simply accept the situation where these companies are purposefully trying to get people addicted to their services and products regardless of the consequences? Clearly there are ethical mishaps that our current societal system is not processing efficiently.
It is, but is distinct from the meaning of “identity politics” and not making that distinction causes confusion.
Why is the OpenBSD documentation so good?
They sorta have these things, but no one looks at it.

For example the scaling factor from from say 5nm to 3nm for transitory is X. But for SRAM, things have been getting progressively worse so it often X/2.

And with caches going up you end up using a process node terrible for sram, but needed for cpu transistors, and it’s a huge waste. You can see why you might use a different process tech for caches, and AMD is clearly going this direction.

Anyhow, TMSC 3nm is just a marketing term. On the physics side, it has about 7-8 key differences to previous 5nm. That’s 6-7 too many things for people to care or remember about.

Intel used to use a part of the transistor when it takes about scale. But then the geometry of the transistor changed! That number no longer has meaning. And transistor geometry changes over time, and you have multiple to choose from on the same process node. Oops.

So… back to marketing terms.
That's quite a lot of extraordinary claims to make without providing so much as a single link to a source to back it up.

Well, you can just stop using Facebook. This is basically what I’ve done, because I can’t stand the ridiculously low signal to noise ratio. 90% if the content on FB is content I have no interest in, and I am just not willing to wade through it to get to the parts I am.
The problem with NMN and NAD+ activators in general is that these don't[1] seem to increase (even) the mouse lifespan in ITP trials[2], which is more or less a benchmark for preclinical testing of longevity-modulating substances. On the other hand, there is a handful of substances that passed this trial with evidence of some positive influence over lifespan, at least in mice, and as such are interesting candidates for human trials: [3][4][5][6]. There is also a very interesting class of substances that seem not only to extend lifespan in mice but even to rejuvenate some aspects of their physiology upon a short course of treatment: senolytics[7][8].

The rules are slightly different for hardware in that readers aren't going to to be able to immediately try it like software, some essentially unique builds that nobody (statistically) is going to try come by sometimes, etc. A thing that doesn't yet exist can't be showhn, though.

Here's my question:
Through completely legal means, gerrymandering and redistricting, to redraw the district boundaries on a state by state basis to achieve the following goals:
1. Take a majority of state legislatures
2. Take a majority of seats in the House
3. Take a majority of seats in the Senate
4. Take a majority of Electoral College votes
5. For bonus points, take a 3/4 majority of state legislatures and thereby guarantee the control of constitutional amendments
Is this possible?
I know that it is ethically questionable, but when power comes into the game that doesn't matter. With cheap computing power, could you set up clusters to achieve these goals?

(Edited: Corrected the constitutional level to 3/4)

> In a 1971 television interview, the president of Philip Morris denied the health risks that pregnant women and their babies face, saying that “It’s true that babies born from women who smoke are smaller, but they are just as healthy as the babies born to women who do not smoke. Some women would prefer to have smaller babies.” [1]

C# needs .NET which has its very own circle of dll hell with compatibility and confusion version numbers for your users.
The company did have a "production bonus" if you worked a certain number of hours or more (couldn't call it overtime for legal reasons, as we were salaried).

A major reason for the number of hours worked is that it was a consultancy / agency type company. The types of contacts we worked varied, but we were building for clients. I couldn't bring myself to let our clients get sub-par work just because I didn't feel like taking the time to mentor juniors or rushed my own output.

I eventually left for a variety of reasons, only in part because we were paid below market, the company was terrified of raising rates, and struggled to be profitable. It is a shame, as the variety of work- everything from quick two month marketing sites to years long projects for three-letter government agencies- was fantastic, and there was no better place to get rapid exposure to many types of problems and solutions.

I still find myself working some evenings, but that's because I'm at a company with a small team that is fine with very flexible working hours. Being able to pop out to the store in the middle of the day or taking an extra long lunch without anyone caring is a perk I no longer want to do without.
Thanks!

Yeah, Rust and the Switch don't mesh together very well, at least for now. I was tempted to take that route also, but I ended up reimplementing librespot in C instead, which serves as the backend for this.

What problem are you trying to solve exactly and how are you going to convince the 2 makers of EHR software (Epic, which you noted already was involved, and Cerner) to adopt it?

This article[1] describes a group of people inside of Facebook who attempted to measure who publishes content that results in negativity, hate, and divisiveness. The result (ctrl+f "Hate Bait dashboard" to see a chart) was the conservative media pushes stories that Facebook "wildly rewards" for driving engagement, incidentally through negativity.

While that is a satisfying answer itself for why Facebook is the way it is (divisive media drives engagement and therefore profit), I think there is more to the story since Facebook employs people like you and I who care about making the world a better place. Why are they not enabled to make Facebook a more positive place?

I think the impact of Peter Thiel on Facebook's policy is probably not well known, but I have to wonder if this is the root of what we see. Peter Thiel, an early investor and board member, appears to be a major MAGA supporter.

From wikipedia:

In June 2004, the company (facebook) moved to Palo Alto, California.
It received its first investment later that month
from PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel.[2]

On 7 February 2022, Thiel announced he would not stand for re-election
to the board of Facebook owner Meta at the 2022 annual stockholders' meeting
and will leave after serving 17 years in order to support pro Donald Trump
candidates in the 2022 United States elections." [3]

There appears to be not just aligned monetary interest, but aligned political interest for keeping Facebook filled with division.

They do strip Google crud like FLoC, don’t pander to crypto scams and are employee-owned, you can check out their statements on Vivaldi.com. The only valid reason not to consider them would be that they are not open-source.

Somewhat tangentially, if it is an official government account, it's crazy to me that they can get away with deleting tweets (and subsequent interactions on those tweets) without an official record.

> M2 is just an overclocked M1

That's not what Anandtech found when they tested the performance and efficiency cores used in the A15 and M2.

Performance:

>In our extensive testing, we’re elated to see that it was actually mostly an efficiency focus this year, with the new performance cores showcasing adequate performance improvements, while at the same time reducing power consumption, as well as significantly improving energy efficiency.

Efficiency:

>The efficiency cores have also seen massive gains, this time around with Apple mostly investing them back into performance, with the new cores showcasing +23-28% absolute performance improvements, something that isn’t easily identified by popular benchmarking. This large performance increase further helps the SoC improve energy efficiency, and our initial battery life figures of the new 13 series showcase that the chip has a very large part into the vastly longer longevity of the new devices.

I think that might come to more fundamental differences such as your personal strength or weakness with working memory. You might be better adapted to conceptualizing words while reading rather than translating what you hear into ideas. But at the end of the day it's a skill, not a inherent weakness that you can't work past.

People believing their learning style is static and teachers treating learning styles as static is the actual issue.

As a basic example, if you are not familiar with how to read music, it would be hard to learn and build on music theory and harmonies. That doesn't make you an auditory learner, it just means you know how it's being taught. Abstracting the musical notes into colors or frequency isn't going to make it easier to learn just because you consider yourself a "visual" learner. Certain concepts may seem clearer and patterns could be more easily identifiable, but in practice it wouldn't be easier.
Don't you think that the selection event that occurs when human minds choose exactly what to use and post for others to see will continue pushing things forward, even if what's driving the brush strokes changes a bit?
